Chapter 477 Don’t Hide
After throwing a smoke bomb to Han Sect, Su Li, regardless of the consequences, flew to a nearby town and woke up Su Buw.a.n.g, who was still in a deep slumber.
Su Buw.a.n.g thought that he only had a dream. In the dream, he went to a fairy cave. The details in the stone cave were very clear, as if they were real.
But that dream didn’t last long and was interrupted by Su Li when she woke him up.
He got up from the bed and rubbed his still aching head. He couldn’t help but glance at Su Li bitterly, but he didn’t dare to say anything excessive.
“Senior, where are we?”
Su Li pointed out the window. Su Buw.a.n.g saw the town plaque that was on the same level as the second floor of the inn. He couldn’t help covering his eyes.
It was so shameful.
“I’m a clever man, but why did I ask such an idiot question?” He thought.
“I’m leaving. Do you have a carrier rune from your elder?”
Su Buw.a.n.g readily took out a jade rune. He smiled and said, “Of course. Senior, you are leaving now. Where are you going?”
Su Li glanced at him coldly and didn’t answer his question.
Su Buw.a.n.g instantly felt his blood froze. He even wished to slap himself in his face. Why couldn’t he control his mouth?
This female senior… was really strange. She always made him relax unconsciously.
d.a.m.n it!
While thinking randomly, he didn’t slow down his move in his hands and sent a message to Fang Yuan.
About ten minutes later, Su Li’s gaze staring out of the window suddenly fixed. Then she took a deep look at Su Buw.a.n.g and disappeared like smoke.
“Senior…”
Su Buw.a.n.g murmured. Although he had only spent half a day with Su Li, he was a little unwilling to see Su Li leave.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly appeared beside him, “Who are you calling?”
Su Buw.a.n.g was shocked instantly. After he turned his head and saw Fang Yuan, the shock on his face eased. He said helplessly, “Uncle Fang, you are finally here. You nephew almost lost his life in this half day.”
Fang Yuan carefully looked Su Buw.a.n.g up and down, but did not find that he was injured. He felt calm at the moment, “I was really delayed by something. What have you encountered?”
Su Buw.a.n.g instantly talked about what he had encountered generally. But he didn’t find that the more Fang Yuan listened, the more unstable Fang Yuan’s expression became. Finally, even a bit of excitement appeared in Fang Yuan’s eyes.
Fang Yuan walked to the place where Su Li sat before, and sat down slowly. While thinking of Su Li’s voice and smile, he picked up the still-warm teacup, and looked at the half plate of peanuts. At that moment, he was actually in a daze.
If he weren’t delayed by Fang Mu for some time, would he be able to see her?
If it weren’t because of blood connection, how could she perceive Buw.a.n.g’s location?
If it weren’t for Buw.a.n.g’s safety, how could she specifically take him out of Han Sect and place him in this mortal town regardless of her own situation?
No… For Buw.a.n.g’s safety, she wouldn’t leave immediately!
Fang Yuan was suddenly enlightened. He leaped out of the window with a flash of his body, which made Su Buw.a.n.g bewildered.
“Uncle Fang, are you…crazy?”
…
Fang Yuan hadn’t used all his strength for a long time. Fortunately, this town was just a mortal town. Even if he arbitrarily scanned hundreds of miles around with his divine awareness, he didn’t alarm anyone.
“No, no…”
“No pract.i.tioner here. It’s impossible!”
Fang Yuan stood in the nothingness, but his expression was not as calm and unhurried as usual. On the contrary, he was full of anxiety and tension. He opened his mouth, but the name that had circulated in his mind for a thousand years was stuck in his throat, and couldn’t be spoken out anyhow.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuan barely calmed down. His extremely hoa.r.s.e voice spread to the surroundings through his divine awareness.
“Su… Su Li, is that you?”
“I know. You must be alive. With your strength, how could you die so easily…”
“Don’t hide anymore. I know you must be worried about Buw.a.n.g.”
“Li…”
These words were transmitted, but there was no respond.
The expectation in Fang Yuan’s eyes gradually turned into disappointment. In the millennia since he came back, he had experienced such disappointment many times, and he had been even…used to it.
“Li, I will take good care of Buw.a.n.g, even if…he is that person’s son.”
Fang Yuan muttered to himself. His divine awareness covering hundreds of miles slowly gathered. Then he changed into the usual decadent appearance, and fell into the town below.
But he didn’t see that there was a beautiful figure behind him who was watching his back quietly. She was only a few feet away from him.
Until Fang Yuan entered the inn, Su Li withdrew her gaze and flew to the nearest teleporting matrix.
“Tsk-tsk, it is said that people are not like plants and trees, and everyone has emotion. But why is your heart harder than iron stones, Master? Fang Yuan is probably ruined by you in this life.”
Black Lotus rushed out and began to look for trouble again.
Su Li didn’t get angry but just sighed slightly. A rare depression showed on her delicate and white face.
“Whatever the affair is true or false, I have no qualifications to accept that. I even dare not to recognize Buw.a.n.g. Everything… has not yet been in time.”
After Su Li finished that, she gradually controlled the emotion on her face and turned to be indifferent again. She sped up and flew to the teleporting matrix.
…
Although the Ghost Region had been frozen for only half a month, the aftermath impact shocked the entire Qingshui Circle.
In the age of peace, it was too shocked that a Grand Elder of a holy sect, equivalent to a Junior Emperor of the Human Clan, died. Even another news that millions of people froze to death was suppressed by it.
At the same time, Su Li, the culprit of this incident, also received a lot of attention.
But because Su Li concealed her face at that time and came and went without a trace, no one knew her origin. Even the largest intelligence organization “Tianyake Attic” in Qingshui Circle could not find out her details. A scene of revenge by the forces finally disappeared invisible.
However, even though Tianyake Attic did not find out Su Li’s ident.i.ty, it did not prevent them from deducing Su Li’s name.
A descendant of the Ghost Clan.
The ancestral land of the Ghost Clan had been shattered and left many traces. If Tianyake Attic couldn’t find something, it wouldn’t deserve its reputation.
The Ghost Clan had been extinct for nearly ten thousand years. If the woman had been in the small mysterious realm all the time, she was now at least ten thousand years old. Her foundation was terrifying, so it would not be surprising that she killed the Grand Elder of Han Sect with one move.
These speculations were included in the Chronicle of Qingshui Calendar by Tianyake Attic, and it spread extremely quickly. After Su Li returned to Ni Sect, she saw a copy of that on her desk. She browsed through it and couldn’t help being speechless.
The imagination of Tianyake Attic was rich enough. After all, those old guys in the Reincarnation Mirror probably knew that she had Black Lotus Ring. Originally, she was worried that some people would a.s.sociate her with Black Lotus. But now, because Tianyake Attic described her as a woman who lived so long, she wouldn’t be bothered in a short time.
“Li, are you looking for me?”
Not long after, Hua Yan walked in. During the time when Su Li was absent, Hua Yan was not idle. With the opportunity to use the rich Hualing Pool, her cultivation had made great progress in a short period of time. It had been only half a year since she broke through Yuanying Realm. And then she made a breakthrough again and reached the middle stage of Yuanying Realm.
Su Li nodded lightly and waved. The stone gate behind Hua Yan was sealed automatically.
Hua Yan was suddenly shocked. After quickly walking over to Su Li and sitting beside her, Hua Yan frowned and asked, “Why are you so careful? Could it be your ident.i.ty…”
Su Li looked at Hua Yan’s sincere face and shook her head slightly. She said, “Do you still remember the origin of that blood stone?”
Hua Yan was slightly startled. She immediately pointed at her universe ring. After a light flashed in her palm, the diamond-shaped blood-colored stone covered with cracks reappeared.
“Of course, I remember.”
Hua Yan smiled, and did not ask why Su Li suddenly became interested in this. “At that time, I was just an unknown junior, but you were a very outstanding genius in Yuxu Sect. At that time, demons woke up and brought troubles to all living beings. Both you and I received orders from the sect to kill the demons. And then we met in Shengling Mountain!
“You and I were congenial at the first sight, and regretted we didn’t meet sooner. Although I was not as powerful as you, it was easier for me to deal with flower demons in Shengling Mountain. We joined hands to kill a blood-colored flower demon. Then we found the stone from the collections of that flower demon, but we didn’t know how to use it.”
“In order to kill the flower demon, we planned for a long time. At last, we paid the price of serious injuries. But… it was you who decided the final outcome. I always think that this blood stone should belong to you. But you don’t want it and let me take it back. You also told me an old saying that keeping the goodies within the family.”
When Hua Yan said this, an unspeakable light showed in her eyes, “I faintly guessed at that time that your situation is not as glamorous as it was on the surface, but I didn’t expect… it was so serious.”
While smiling, Su Li listened to the past quietly.
Black Lotus whispered in her ears with a long face, “Well, little Su Li! I am still worried that Hua Yan will betray you. It turns out that this blood stone is the result of your adventure. It is really furious!”
Su Li s.h.i.+elded Black Lotus’s words without a trace, and took out the two blood stones that was acquired from the ancestral land from the universe ring.
These two blood stones were a bit smaller than Hua Yan’s, but their surfaces were round and smooth without cracks. Their appearances were much better.
“This……”
Hua Yan widened her eyes slightly and felt greatly surprised. She picked up one of them and looked at it carefully. And suddenly, she sensed the familiar panic of danger hidden in the stone.
“There are actually more blood stones like this one. Where did you get it?”
Su Li didn’t deliberately conceal it, and said straightly, “It was obtained from an ancient secret land that had a history of tens of thousands of years.”
Hua Yan subconsciously remembered the descendant of Ghost Clan that had been widely discussed in recent days. But she quickly dispelled the idea.
Although Su Li came back at a very coincidental time, she was a real human with a strength of Huanshen Realm at most. How could she be that descendant of Ghost Clan.
“It seems that the origin of this object is not simpler than we thought. But I have brought it with me for thousands of years and haven’t figured out its usage. It is really a pity.”
Su Li suddenly thought something when she heard this. For whatever the blood stone of Hua Yan or the two in her hands, their original owner was not a human. Maybe… human blood could not stimulate them?
She was meditating. Then she suddenly saw Hua Yan put the blood stone in her hand and smile playfully.
“You have no reason to refuse now, right? This thing should be returned to its original owner.”
Su Li also smiled. This time she didn’t refuse any more and took the blood stone into her bag.
She happened to have some ideas that needed to be confirmed. This blood stone had the worst texture and was just appropriate. Moreover, it was not safe that this thing stayed in Hua Yan’s hands. It was better that she would give it to Hua Yan for use after she studied it thoroughly.
