A flash flickered in Su Li’s eyes and she asked, “Are you… a living person?”
The middle-aged puppet laughed and shook his head, “I am just a sub-awareness lodging in the puppet’s body.”
“Before this...”
Su Li hesitantly spoke. The middle-aged puppet replied slowly, “That was your destiny, and I would not stop you. Since you’ve broken through, it means you are hard enough to be killed and able to inherit my mantle. Otherwise, I would not have shown up.”
Su Li was silent for a moment and asked in a cold voice, “How are you so certain that I will accept your mantle?”
“Ha ha ha ha…”
The middle-aged man laughed, “I won’t force you to do it. If you are not willing, just refuse me. However, I saw your interest in the swordsmanship.”
Lights were flowing in Su Li’s eyes and a smile appeared on her face, “You are right, Senior. I would appreciate your guidance.”
The middle-aged man nodded s
Jingling—The chain rubbed against the stone path, emitting an ear-piercing sound.The oncoming person was a woman with a gaunt face. She was wet, with water dripping from the corners of her clothes as if she had been dragged out of the river. With her hair disheveled, she looked like a female ghost.On her side, Fang Ling was holding her arm and walking slowly.“These two people…”Black Lotus said in low voice in the awareness sea. Su Li narrowed her eyes.It was Mei Ruohan and Fang Ling. They both were acquaintances for Su Li.Su Li watched them in silence, waited for them both to approach, and passed over her.“Senior Sister Apprentice, I am afraid that you haven’t see the sun for many years. The sun is shining today, and it is nice. Master has ordered me to take you to get you tidy. You should cherish this opportunity.”Fang Ling spoke gently. Many female disciple
Su Li was shocked slightly. She instantly recalled the extremely obscure peeping in the Black Stone Forest earlier.She was always clear that there was something odd in the Black Stone Forest. But because there were many things to deal with, she had no time to care about that.Since the seventh branch was involved in and Su Yuanhai was her key to control Su Family, she couldn’t ignore it anymore.“The information is too limited. Su Dieyin should know more.”Su Li frowned and pondered for a moment. Then she said in a low voice, “Except for Su Yang and Su Mu, has anyone who took part in the Tea Party for Immortals come back?”Hua Yan nodded, “Yes, it’s sure. After hearing Su Yang’s description, I am afraid that it could possibly be the fake news from the twenty-five sects. So, I sent people to verify secretly and found that eighty percent of the news was fake!”“Eighty percent?”Su Li caught the
“What are you doing?”Seeing no severe injuries on them, Su Dieyin was relieved and asked.“Master, please save Su Jiuzhou!”Su Jiuzhou?!Su Dieyin opened her beautiful eyes slightly wide. She turned and saw Su Jiuzhou in the inner room meditating. Compared to the neatly-dressed Su Xianyun and others, she was dressed in rags like a beggar. Bursts of the smell of blood pervaded in the house and made Su Dieyin frown.“Master, it was Su Jiuzhou who saved us all!”When Su Xianyun told the entire process, Su Dieyin came to Su Jiuzhou and took her pulse. She frowned more seriously.“Xianyun, why didn’t you contact me before coming back?”Su Dieyin’s voice sounded a bit cold, and the temperature in the air seemed to have dropped a few.Xianyun was stunned, and made a bitter smile, “Master, our storage rings were lost in the Chaos Zone, so we couldn’t contact you.”
“Mom, why are you here?”Seeing the woman, Su Dieyin’s solemn expression eased down immediately. She squatted in front of the woman and said in a warm voice, “I can handle the things at home, Mom. Don’t worry about that.”“Still hiding it from me?”The woman shook her head and with her eyes widely opened, “Your Uncle Guang has told me. Is Su Jiuzhou that important? You have secured your position of the head of the branch with difficulty. If Su Dingxian...”“I promised her and of course I must keep that.”Su Dieyin was serious. She said gently, “Even if she had not come to the second branch, I will repay her favor, because she had saved Xianyun and the other two. I am not the cold-blooded old fox of the main branch.”Hearing that, the woman became more helpless, “How dare you say this? You...”“Rest assured, Mom. I can handle it.”Su Dieyin held the woman’s hand gently and spoke in
After Ya’er left, the entire hall was in silence again, as if nothing had happened.Su Li closed the adytum door and took back all the visible expressions. With a flip of her palm, the carrier rune appeared in her palm. As the carrier rune blinked a few times, Su Yuanhai’s voice came from it.“Master, there is something odd about the spiritual stone mine in the Black Stone Forest. The sixth branch is determined to get the mine. I was fought back before I had time to see what was inside.I am not sure if it’s an illusion that I seemed to have smelt a scent of demons...”A light flashed in Su Li’s eyes.Demons?The legend of demons and monsters could be traced back to ancient times. Perhaps at the time when Black Lotus lived, demons and monsters could still often be seen. At the present, there were only several demon clans and they were just active in several large regions. Such a huge clan suddenly disappea
The woman shook her head and sighed, but the ordinary-looking middle-aged man did not answer. Suddenly, he stopped sweeping and turned his head to look outside the door, with a fierce gaze.“What’s wrong?”The woman glanced suspiciously at the entrance of the courtyard but saw no one. She could not help but ask.A trace of confusion also appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man, and after he confirmed repeatedly, he shook his head, “I mistook. It’s nothing.”Meanwhile, Su Li was standing on a stone platform hundreds of meters away from the courtyard, looking at the courtyard in warmth and peace. She seemed to think something from her deep eyes.“That person could sense my trace, so his cultivation must be higher than Huashen Realm.”There was a practitioner in Huashen Realm standing behind Su Dieyin?Su Li pondered. The relationship between that person and Su Dieyin’s mother was obviously n
“Enough with your hurly-burly! How indecent!”Just as the groups were arguing in the hall, an angry grunt came through the hall straightly into the ears of the crowd, like the matin bells and vesper drums deafened the crowd for a moment.At the same time, a hunched figure appeared in front of the bedchamber and came next to Su Dingxian before the crowd even blinked. His eyes swept across the room indifferently.“Why is he here?!”Once Su Xianyun saw the face of the old man, his heart thumped, and he said a four-letter word secretly, forcing himself to bow respectfully and greeting unanimously with other elders.“Old ancestor!”“Old ancestor!”“Old ancestor...”The hunched elder nodded, but his face full of age spots was indifferent. Only when he looked at Su Dingxian, a little warmth emerged on his face.This person, was the biggest backer of Su Dingxian, also the roo
On the same day, in Yiyun Yard.Su Yuanhai’s face was pale, but his expression was incomparably respectful. He was standing in front of the desk in the room and asked with a hint of surprise in his tone, “Master, why are you here? If you told me before, I would prepare some refreshments.”Su Li did not answer, flipping through the intelligence reports received recently, with her eyebrows furrowing.Seeing this, Su Yuanhai immediately added aside, “We have sent a lot of people to the spirit stone mine, so has the sixth branch. Therefore, conflicts are inevitable ...”“How did you get hurt?”Su Li raised her head and a bright light flashed in her eyes.Su Yuanhai covered his chest and hastily replied, “To tell you the truth, Master, besides Su Jinnan, the sixth branch has invited another senior, whose cultivation should not be lower than the late stage of Yuanying Realm. I didn’t pay enough attention in the
