Chapter 220 Actions of Forces
After seeing Tantai Yu entered the National Guest House, Su Li who was hiding in the dark left.
She did not ask the ident.i.ty of her senior fellow apprentice, because she wanted to verify it by herself. The fact was the same as she had expected. The origin of the senior fellow apprentice was extraordinary. She thought of the mechanism in the underground adytum and his golden tuinga. In addition to Wei Youran, he might be the prince of Tianji Country.
The apprentice of Qi Xianqing who was the royal preceptor in Dahan Country before was the prince of Tianji Country… Su Li was lost in thought. There was too much information in it.
As for Qi Xianqing, although he was really nice to her and sent a big gift to her after she was born in this life, she didn’t open her mind to him. Except that she couldn’t trust anyone after she was just born in this world, she still suspected Qi Xianqing’s mysterious origin.
In the previous life, she succeeded in cultivation and heard some news of Qi Xianqing. His age and origin were secrets. The warrior of the inborn realm could live for 200 years at most. But he lived more than 200 years. He broke principles and couldn’t be accepted! Some people said that he was not a person, so he could have a long life…
Therefore, she was vigilant to Qi Xianqing’s apprentice. If this person was ordered to get the Full Moon and Heart Strings by Qi Xianqing, what should she do?
Su Li’s expression changed but she quickly calmed down. The Full Moon and Heart Strings was very useful to her. So, she couldn’t give it up.
On the next few days, Su Li prepared for the Auction Fair at the Affiliated School. The three princes all drew Tantai Yu over to their sides. Therefore, Tantai Yu was busy. He didn’t come to see Su Li.
As the date of the Auction Fair approached, the atmosphere in Yunjing City became tense. There were more and more disputes in these days. Hu Dadan was so busy. Fortunately, the force of the martial arts circle still feared the Dongfang Family. Otherwise, he had been killed secretly with his cultivation.
Qu Lu told Su Li lots of intelligence about the forces in Yunjing. She had concealed her ident.i.ty in Yunjing City for many years. Elder Dao’s fighting capacity was weakened by Su Li, and he had come back to the headquarters of the Hehuan Sect. The new elder hadn’t come yet. So, she could control the branch of the Hehuan Sect again.
Su Li only glanced at it. She didn’t care about these small forces. Only a few forces could affect the Auction Fair. Only when she got ready at the moment could she deal with the unknown situation.
On the fifth day of the twelfth month in the lunar calendar, three days before the Auction Fair, it was snowy in Yunjing City.
The fluffy snow changed Yunjing City into white. It was silent. Even the fighting sound on the street didn’t spread far.
“Master, don’t catch a cold.”
Ling Li stood under the eaves and stared at the sky quietly. Ling Xian covered a cloak for him. The master and the servant stood in the yard. It was peaceful and harmonious.
“What has Mr. Li done recently?”
Ling Li suddenly spoke. It broke the peace. Ling Xian stopped smiling. The master asked about Mr. Li, but she heard the name Su Li…
“Mr. Li’s whereabouts is erratic. It is said that he has not appeared in the Linli Building for several days.”
Ling Xian calmed down and replied. What she said was true.
She wanted to visit Mr. Li and cooperated with him. But he had disappeared for a long time. She could only wait for him.
Ling Li’s expression didn’t change. But he was lost in thought.
…
In the National Guest House, Tianji Country and Nanjiang Country had equal shares of force. Although they sounded out each other, both of them restrained themselves. As the Auction Fair approached, they were more restrained.
“Forth Prince, I found that another force of the Wei Family in Yunjing City is in the embroidery workshop!” A handsome youth like a manservant rushed to Tantai Yu and said beside his ears.
Tantai Yu was calm and waved his hand. That youth immediately left and closed the door.
Then, a person appeared in the room. Tantai Yu was happy and lowered his head to give a salute. He said, “Master, you are here.”
Qi Xianqing stroked his white mustache and said with a smile, “Little Yu, have you visited your junior sister apprentice?”
Tantai Yu nodded with a constrained smile. He told the whole process to his master.
Qi Xianqing was shocked and immediately sighed with relief. He said, “That girl finally grows up. She must suffer a lot in Yunjing during the past six months.”
“Master, the Junior Sister Apprentice is… the biological daughter of Dongfang Rui!”
Tantai Yu said with a low voice. Qi Xianqing was stunned with a mixed feeling and said with a sigh, “I have deliberately avoided Dongfang Xiao these years. I don’t want to have any relations.h.i.+p with the Dongfang Family. Man proposes but the fate disposes!”
Tantai Yu said with a smile, “Don’t worry. The surname of Junior Sister Apprentice is still Su. She doesn’t accept the Dongfang Family.”
Qi Xianqing was amazed and said, “Why?”
Tantai Yu told him in detail. Qi Xianqing was in silence. He didn’t expect that Su Li had experienced a lot in Yunjing within less than one year.
When Qi Xianqing heard that Zhu Yan and Su Zipei were put in jail for punishment and that Su Li didn’t plead for them, he was close to crying. This little girl… finally no longer kept too kind. She began to seek justice for herself.
“Now Yunjing is in a mess. I found that the Hehuan Sect and the Lians.h.i.+ Cult are taking actions ma.s.sively. What’s more, this place is the headquarters of the Yinmo Cult. Maybe they are keeping an eye on our actions. If we want to get the Full Moon and Heart Strings for Junior Sister Apprentice, I am afraid…”
Tantai Yu looked worried. He spoke out the reason they came here. They actually wanted to help Su Li get the Full Moon and Heart Strings.
Qi Xianqing was silent for a moment and said slowly, “Little Yu, have you ever blamed me?”
Tantai Yu suddenly raised his head in surprise and said, “Master, you saved my life and taught me a lot. I am unable to make any recompense. Why do I blame you?”
Qi Xianqing sighed and said, “However, only one person can be the successor of the Ghost Valley. The head of the next generation is your Junior Sister Apprentice. Although you study the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction, I can’t give you the t.i.tle of my apprentice.”
Tantai Yu instantly smiled gently and sweetly. He said, “Master, why do you care about the t.i.tle? Actually, I don’t care about it! We can’t get many things in our short life. It is fortunate for me to meet you. Since Junior Sister Apprentice may revive our Ghost Valley, I will try my best to achieve your dream even if I will die!”
Tantai Yu was sincere, and even Qi Xianqing was moved. The realm of the Ruthless Method was broken like a crack appearing in the smooth mirror.
“Cough…”
Qi Xianqing coughed violently and spat out black blood. Tantai Yu was immediately shocked. When he was ready to support his master, he was stopped. Qi Xianqing said something unintelligible,
“It doesn’t matter. I reap the fruits of my actions. This is an old disease.”
After taking some breaths, Qi Xianqing calmed down. He looked at Tantai Yu with mixed feelings.
“Little Yu, it was lucky for me to meet you…” Qi Xianqing thought.
Hongyan House—
“Miss Qu, I haven’t seen you for years!”
A coquettish voice sounded in the air.
When Qu Lu saw the new elder, she was astonished. The Hierarch actually dispatched him here. Could Mr. Li deal with him?
“Rest a.s.sured, Miss Qu. As long as I am here, either the Lians.h.i.+ Cult or the Yinmo Cult cannot get the Full Moon and Heart Strings.” The young man who was more coquettish than a girl smiled and said, “That’s the gift that I want to send to the Hierarch.”
…
In the big embroidery workshop of Yunjing City, there were many senior embroidery artificers. However, there was a group of people in black who knew nothing about embroidery in a corner of the yard.
“Remember that we are the most loyal dogs of the owner! Even if we die, we must help the owner get the Full Moon and Heart Strings!”
Lin Yanxing stood erectly among the crowd. His expression was indifferent. He was suspicious of the leader’s words. He was not a dog.
He had lived a hard life. He tried his best to practice and achieved a high cultivation. He only had one reason.
Revenge!!!
He wanted to kill the people who destroyed him that year!
“The Su Family and the Yan Family, when I get rid of the difficult situation… clean your necks and wait for me!”
In the Third Prince’s Mansion—
Tao Zisang looked serious. He looked far at the Yunjing Auction House.
“Master, I have got everything ready for you. I wish you success!”
Dongfang Lang appeared behind him and gave a respectful salute to him. There were hundreds of expressionless corpse puppets of the inborn realm behind him. Under the attic, eight elders of the Lians.h.i.+ Cult all saluted him remotely.
“This time, we must create a future for the Lians.h.i.+ Cult!”
In the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation—
Dongfang Xiao lay on the bed leisurely. Nearly forty or fifty elite guards in black knelt in front of him. All of their breaths proved that they were in the inborn fifth hurdle at least. All these heavy breaths and the low breath sound made the whole Dongnuan Pavilion shake.
“Head of the family, everyone is here!”
The vigorous middle-aged leader raised his head and said. He called Dongfang Xiao the head of the family not the emperor.
This was the real power to support the Dongfang Family in controlling the world!
Dongfang Xiao opened his eyes somewhat and became cunning. He said, “Remember that your mission is not to kill the enemies but to get the details of all forces, especially the Yinmo Cult and the Linli Building.”
The two forces were too unsearchable. Although he had controlled Dahan Country for more than 10 years, he not only didn’t destroy the Yinmo Cult, but also didn’t know the gender of the Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult, Childe Li. He was upset!
He also didn’t know the gender of the mysterious Mr. Li. The excellent but unsearchable forces were the scariest ones.
“Do Childe Li and Mr. Li have any relations.h.i.+p? Dongfang Xiao played with a ruyi indifferently. He said, “It is worth getting their information with the Full Moon and Heart Strings!”
Under the waves of secret fights, three days had elapsed quietly. Finally, it was the eighth day of the twelfth month in the lunar calendar!
