Chapter 139 Hehuan Sect
Su Li took care of Zhu Yan for a half month, but Zhu Yan treated her as an enemy every day. Su Li didn’t complain at all. However, Su Qingtan couldn’t stand that any more. When Su Zipei was almost healed, Su Qingtan instantly asked Zipei to take over Su Li and take care of her mother. Then Su Li went back to the school to rest.
“First Mother didn’t eat the food that you served. Go back and have a rest.”
Su Qingtan looked at Su Li, who was a little pale because of lacking rest in the past two days. He couldn’t help but feel distressed. He was even more disgusted with Zhu Yan and Su Zipei. If he didn’t have to take the family relocation as an excuse to take care of Su Li, how could he let Zhu Yan go to Yunjing with them?
“Eldest Brother, I am fine. Don’t blame mother. I will go back first.”
Su Li forced a smile and walked away. Su Zipei stood with her back towards Su Qingtan. When Su Li disappeared out of the gate, Su Qingtan snorted and said to Zipei in a low voice, “I know exactly what you and your mother have done in the past six months. If it’s not because that Su Li cared about your former affection, I wouldn’t care about family affection at all! You two… conduct yourself well!”
Hearing the footsteps behind her disappear, Su Zipei was slightly stiff. She clenched the wet cloth so tightly that her knuckles made cracks. She looked ferocious and unwilling.
She thought, “Eldest Brother! I am the daughter of the Su Family and Su Li is just a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
“Why did you only dote on her, but you didn’t even take a look at me?!”
She wiped Zhu Yan’s forehead with a wet cloth. Her lips trembled and she whispered, “Mother, I… won’t be the Su Family’s member in this life.”
Su Li did not go back to the school, but came to the residence of the Jin Family—current “Li House”.
After defeating the Jin and Lin families, Yan s.h.i.+xun really kept his promise. He not only transferred all the land t.i.tles that the Jin Family possessed to the Linli Building, but also repaid double silver. The deposit of the silver in the Linli Building was unprecedentedly expanded. Their income would cover the revenue of selling wine, and the rent on several streets in the future.
Of course, compared with these benefits, Yan s.h.i.+xun got much more. He knew the truth of making a big fortune without boast. He didn’t flaunt or do anything he wanted what without restraint. Without the Jin and Lin families in the Qinghe Town, the distribution of power seemed to be clear. On the surface, the Qinghe Town was dominated by the Yan Family. But only Yan s.h.i.+xun knew that the Yan Family and the Linli Building stood up to each other as an equal, and even the Yan Family had to rely on the Linli Building for many things.
For the forces of the martial arts circle, Yan s.h.i.+xun always tried to dodge them with fear. But the appearance of the Linli Building had broken his rules. It was just a winery on the surface and didn’t seem to violate the rule that the power of martial arts circle entered the common world. The boss of the Linli Building was very kind and was not as ruthless as people in the martial arts circle who regarded people as ants.
It could be said that the latter is the reason why Yan s.h.i.+xun did not reject the Linli Building. If the Linli Building was the same as the power that he belonged to before, he could have reported it to the imperial court and tried to eradicate it.
“Su Li, everything was packed. We can depart at any time.”
Yin Xuetong walked in from the outside and said with a heavy heart, “But… Yunjing is a place where the Emperor lives, and ordinary people cannot go there. Not to mention that we are all…”
Qu Qingning scratched his head and looked at Su Li. In view of their ident.i.ties, if they were not caught in Yunjing, it could be a good thing. But how could they sneak into Yunjing to open a winery?
Su Li took a glance and did not answer. Instead, she asked, “Any results from your discussion? How many people will stay and how many people will follow me?”
The power of the Qinghe Town had been stabilized and here was the home base of the Linli Building. Su Li must leave most people to develop the foundation. Only a few people would go to Yunjing with her. As for who would go, she asked them to decide on their own.
Then Fang Yuan stood up and said, “I am going there with you. Xiaoling and Xiaomu will stay for help.”
“I will stay.”
Luo Yichen stood up and stared at Su Li who was calm, and then he said, “Unless Ruohan goes.”
He knew that Su Li didn’t tell Mei Ruohan his true ident.i.ty, and the Mei Family would not allow Mei Ruohan to go to Yunjing with a group of unidentified people. Thinking of this, he could only stay.
Su Li slightly nodded and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. She said in a cold voice, “Luo Yichen, I do not limit your freedom, but it does not mean that you can defy my order. You have to remember that you work for the Linli Building until you die. Even if I want you to die, you have to do it obediently, do you understand?”
Luo Yichen stopped breathing temporarily and anger flashed through his eyes. But when he thought that Mei Ruohan was still here, he had to nod humbly to show that he understood.
“Good. You are responsible for the safety of the Linli Building in the Qinghe Town. You and Fang Mu are responsible for the cultivation of the new blood of the secluded site. I shall hold you solely responsible for anything that goes wrong.”
Luo Yichen was instantly stupefied. He thought that Su Li meant to let him go to Yunjing with her. He didn’t expect that it was just a simple warning. She even dared to hand over the Linli Building in the Qinghe Town directly to him. Didn’t she afraid that he would destroy the foundation of the Linli Building?
“What? Aren’t you satisfied with my decision?”
Su Li raised her eyebrows and derided.
Luo Yichen could do nothing about her. He certainly knew what Su Li had just said was not a warning at all, but an extremely sinister prank!
“I don’t believe you, but I trust your love for Mei Ruohan.”
Su Li pointed at the position of Luo Yichen’s heart and said in a gentle voice, “For the future of you and Mei Ruohan, you have to perform well. Otherwise, your family will not allow you to marry an ordinary girl.”
Luo Yichen was nervous and his expression slightly changed. What did she know now?
There were so many families that surnamed Luo in the Zhushou Country. How did she know which Luo Family he was from?
Thinking of this, Luo Yichen suddenly felt that his chest was lightly patted. Immediately, there was a thin piece of paper in his hand and it was Ao Sword Skills.
“Even if you have pa.s.sed the best age to practice the martial arts, you have to be a Young Master at least. Don’t let me down…”
Su Li gave an order and waved to Fang Yuan, Qu Qingning and Yin Xuetong, and then she left the attic.
Qu Qingning made a sound of tut-tut deliberately and patted Luo Yichen, who was still in a daze. Then Qingning said, “Su Li could give this to you, and that means she fully trusted you at least for the time being. You should perform well and break through the inborn hurdle…”
Yin Xuetong covered her mouth and chuckled. Then she followed Qu Qingning and went away. Fang Yuan walked behind them and stopped. He never did this before. He said seriously, “An inborn master should stay in Qinghe Town. And you shall protect the foundation of the Linli Building well.”
When all people left, Luo Yichen looked at the back of Fang Yuan. He lowered his head and saw Ao Sword Skills, and then he could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
“The Swordsmans.h.i.+p Cla.s.sic that can help to break through the secret of the inborn realm. How could Su Li… has such a thing?”
It was comparable to the Immortal Cla.s.sic, even the Luo Family did not have it. He just did Su Li a little favor, Su Li gave it to him. At this moment, Luo Yichen’s thoughts instantly changed.
Fang Yuan, Qu Qingning and Yin Xuetong came to the underground adytum with Su Li. They were all puzzled and didn’t know what Su Li would say.
Su Li took out a wooden token and placed it in Fang Yuan’s hands. She said in a low voice, “Use it, you can go to Yunjing under the cover of the Tianya House. It will be easy.”
The token was left to Su Li by Ling Li at the beginning.
Fang Yuan’s expression changed slightly. He was reluctant, but this was Su Li’s order, so, he could only nod.
“I didn’t expect that Su Qingtan will come back in advance. I planned to let you sneak into Yunjing as servants of the Su Family. Unfortunately, it is too late.”
Su Li sighed softly. Then she took a pink package from the table and put it in front of them, then she said, “Before we go to Yunjing, there is one more thing to finish.”
Yin Xuetong is only less clever than Su Li in the Linli Building. She recognized it at once. It was the aphrodisiac that Luo Yichen bought specially from the black market in the town, and it was made by Lin Xiang personally.
“Lin Xiang has been exiled now. Will we rescue her?”
Yin Xuetong did not know the resentment between Lin Xiang and Su Li, so, she could not help but ask.
Su Li blinked her eyes and said with a smile, “Rescue her? No, we must block her future from the beginning, otherwise we will be in trouble. If your elders were well-informed, they should know that there is a school of the martial arts in Nanjiang Country. It is Hehuan Sect.”
Hearing what Su Li said, the three were all at a loss because they had never heard of it.
Seeing that, Su Li couldn’t help but laugh. Even in the martial arts circle, Hehuan Sect is in the rank. Although it ranks the lowest nine grades, ordinary people wouldn’t know it. What was worse, people standing in front of her was not the heads of their families, but the lineal offspring.
“In short, you only need to know that Lin Xiang’s aphrodisiac was developed by the Hehuan Sect. I don’t know why the Hehuan Sect exposed the formula, but once they know that there is such a girl who can develop aphrodisiac in the world, how do you think they will deal with her?”
Su Li asked. Qu Qingning immediately patted his thigh and suddenly said, “I see! Lin Xiang will probably be accepted by the Hehuan Sect. If she hates Qinghe Town, she will be a trouble for us later. You are letting us kill Lin Xiang! Then we will have no trouble in the future. Right?”
Su Li smiled and looked at Yin Xuetong. Yin Xuetong frowned her arch eyebrows. She had an intuition that Su Li’s question would not be so simple.
“You want to get the obscene formula?”
Fang Yuan suddenly asked. Then he frowned, “But how do we use the formula when we get it?”
He didn’t believe that Su Li would take the obscene formula to do business. If Su Li really did that, not only him but Qu Qingning and others couldn’t stand.
Su Li sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. She said lazily, “You guys are still too young.”
All the three people were angry for her words.
Clearly, it was her that was the youngest one in the room!
Su Li glanced at the three people who were angry and explained with a smile, “The people of Hehuan Sect never believe in outsiders. Even if they can investigate the origin of Lin Xiang, they won’t bother to have a try. If they find Lin Xiang, they will kill her and clear all trouble for the future. The thing you have to do is to ask the whereabouts of the formula before they find Lin Xiang.”
Su Li actually wanted to get the formula. Fang Yuan could not help feeling sad.
“It’s not for business for me to have the formula. Although the business of aphrodisiac has always been profitable.” Su Li shook the cup and a hint of profound meaning flashed in her eyes. Then she said, “I just… want the group of b.i.t.c.hes of the Hehuan Sect to try the feeling of being framed.”
The three people relieved, and then they couldn’t help but doubt. How could Su Li have contact with the Hehuan Sect? She even had grudges against them. She clearly… hadn’t never been out of the Dahan Country.
Although they were puzzled, they left Qinghe Town on the next day for the exile team. They had the wooden token and naturally didn’t have to go to Yunjing with Su Li at the same time. It was such a blockbuster that the Su Family moved into Yunjing. After they arrived in Yunjing, Fang Yuan could find the Su Family from the rumors in Yunjing.
