Qu Lu bowed her head and said without hesitation, “I have been enslaved by the Hehuan Sect for ten years. Nowadays, I have no valuable stuff except controlling the Hongyan House. If you want it, I’m willing to hand its intelligence system over to you.”
Su Li was waiting for her last sentence. She nodded slightly and said, “Yin Xuetong will deal with it with you. In exchange, I can help you find out the whereabouts of your younger brother.”
Qu Lu nodded gently and showed a relieved smile. She said, “Thank you, Mr. Li.”
She was actually afraid that Mr. Li would forcibly let her stay here like the Hehuan Sect. Fortunately, he didn’t mention it. Now it was already the best result that she could hand the Hongyan House over in exchange for finding out the whereabouts of her brother.
She also thought that she might take control of the intelligence system of the Hongyan House after leaving the Hehuan Sect. However, an intelligence system w
Later, Eunuch Feng handed over the elixir to Dongfang He. Then he knelt down and left very gratefully. Dongfang Xiao was alone in the Imperial Garden to think things through. Looking at the plum blossom, Dongfang Xiao was rather gloomy.Rumor had it that the Yinmo Cult suffered a great damage and after it exited from the Real Spiritual Circle, it was not as powerful as ten percent of its flourishing period. Because of the lack of the nimbus of the secular world, every elder had to retreat and focus on cultivation so that they wouldn’t fall behind.Dongfang Xiao sounded it out with the Full Moon and Heart Strings. He expected that the Yinmo Cult would despise the Full Moon and Heart Strings, but it would claim their dominance. However, the results were not even close to what people said.“Just as our expectation, the Wanjian Sect lied to me…”Dongfang Xiao kept walking around with his hand crossed on his back. He thought, the fortun
The New Year was coming. Servants in the Ling Mansion who had stayed here for a long time were busy cleaning the whole mansion. They were grateful that the old lady and the madam didn’t mind their humble status. So, they loved the Ling Mansion as much as they loved their own home.Qiu Meng was settling the accounts in the house. There were so many industries to be dealt with in the end of the year that she was almost busy day and night.Suddenly, she heard a creak.The door was opened. Qiu Meng bit her writing brush and asked without raising her head, “What’s the matter, mammy? It’s up to you to supervise the cleaning work.”There was no reply outside the door. Qiu Meng frowned slightly and put down her writing brush to look back. She saw a part of a wheelchair and the legs covered with a blanket outside the door.Li?She was a little amazed and hurriedly put down the account and walked over.
“Miss, here is an invitation from the Ling Mansion.”Mammy Li brought an envelope from outside which was drawn with many flowers. Su Li felt strange. How could Ling Li contact her so boldly, and use this garish envelope.What the hell was he doing?She opened the envelope, and saw the letter was signed by Qiu Meng. Suddenly, she understood.“Little Li, the New Year is coming, and the plum trees begin to blossom. I cooked some dishes, but still felt lonely. Could you please come to accompany me and appreciate the beautiful scenery?”Knowing it was not Ling Li, she relieved. She was very good at cooking and treating. That’s why Qiu Meng asked her for help.But Qiu Meng was busy settling the accounts for the Ling Mansion. Why did she still have time to cook dishes?“Miss, the servant from the Ling Mansion are waiting outside. How to reply?”Mammy Li asked anxiously. She was old enoug
Yun Yi came to Lord Rui’s Mansion to report the latest situation of Su Li.“Why did Mrs. Meng of Ling General’s Mansion suddenly invite Li?”Dongfang Rui frowned and walked back and forth in the room.Yun Yi added, “Mrs. Meng is making a new snack. Because Miss Su Li has unparalleled cooking skills, she wants to ask her for help.”Then Dongfang Rui sneered, “At the end of the year, there are too many accounts in the Ling Family. Can Qiu Meng have leisure time? I guess she has other intention. However, Li is back to our family now. The Ling Family dare not do anything wrong to her. At that time, accompany Li to the Ling Mansion and ask other guards of the Yunge Sect for cooperation outside to protect her.”Su Li had just returned to his side, and he certainly did not want to let his daughter get married immediately.“Yes, Master.”Yun Yi bowed and smiled bitterly. Based on his cultivation, if h
Qiu Meng was so attracted that she almost agreed. But when she thought about the purpose of the visit, she shut up immediately and was in a cold sweat.“It would be a fault to forget about my son in order to improve my cooking.” She thought.“There will be more time in the future. Give you the recipe first.”Qiu Meng was so generous that Su Li was a little surprised. She hurriedly returned it to Qiu Meng and said, “Madam, no gain without pain. Forgive me for not accepting such a precious recipe.”Qiu Meng put the recipe in her hand again and chuckled, “Take it. That’s the Old Lady’s idea. No one in the Ling Family can make a cake. If we let it lie idle, it will be a piece of waste paper. It’s better to give it to you. If you can restore the flavor of the past, we can also buy some to enjoy the delicious food.”Then Su Li shook her head hurriedly and said, “Madam, you give me the valuable gift. If I can make it, I will
Qiu Meng ordered servants to prepare the lunch and let a mammy go to the East Courtyard to call Ling Li and Su Li. But the mammy came back alone and said happily,“Madam, little Master and Miss Su Li strolled outside. They are not in the East Courtyard!”After hearing this, Qiu Meng was surprised and delighted. Suddenly she thought of something and asked quickly, “It’s not peaceful in Yunjing City. How could they go out alone? Did a guard follow?”“Xian said Miss Su Li has been protected by the maids around her, and some guards are also there. Don’t worry, Madam.”Qiu Meng signed with relief after hearing the words, with happiness in her eyes.This silly boy said that he didn’t know how to amuse a girl, but the girl was willing to go out with him after they just met. It seemed that Li probably would get married!Thinking of this and looking at a table of hearty dishes in front of her, Qiu Meng decisively s
The construction of the Barren Mountain Courtyard was Ling Li’s first measure when he became the Hierarch. After ten years passed, the Barren Mountain Courtyard was enlarged by several times. Lots of mountains were linked with ingenious mechanisms and used to be the source of transporting talents for the Yinmo Cult.After another turning, there was the entrance of the Barren Mountain Courtyard. Ling Li wore his jade-bone mask.That was because his real identity was known by a few seniors in the Yinmo Cult.“Hierarch!”“Hierarch!”As soon as they arrived in the gate, two men in black appeared and knelt down immediately. Su Li followed Ling Li and knew that the two men were elite killers of the Shalou Cult.Ling Li led Su Li to view various ways of cultivating talents in the Yinmo Cult. With Ling Li’s guidance, nobody dared to stop Su Li.The test for talents was based on either their endowments
Su Li’s words were like the forever lasting ice on high mountains, cold and ruthless.Ling Li froze as if he was struck by thunder. He fixed his eyes on Su Li’s extremely calm face. His lips were shaking as if he was going to say something, but he didn’t ask why in the end.“If there is nothing more, I’m going to leave then.”Su Li looked at the sculptured man in front of her and left without hesitation before Ling Li’s reply.Ling Li’s body was stiff, and he held the posture for a very long time.Immersed in deep sorrow, Ling Li didn’t feel the sense of escaping in Su Li’s leaving.Men in the Barren Mountain Courtyard wondered why Su Li left alone but didn’t dare to ask under Ling Li’s deterrence. So, Su Li went back to the tunnel easily.Su Li turned back to make sure no one followed. She couldn’t hold anymore and fell on the ground with one hand against the wall. After removing the spell, s
