Chapter 228 Changing the Gla.s.s Bottle
Ling Li concerned himself with the Full Moon and Heart Strings very much. After a confrontation with Su Li for a while, he couldn’t help breaking the silence, “Sir, didn’t you say that you would concentrate on operating the winery and would never involve in the external affairs? Now, are you also interested in the Full Moon and Heart Strings?”
Sir? Which sir?
Yun Yi and others were very confused. Who among them would win the respect of the Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult?
“Hahaha…”
A clear laugh came from Su Li with a bamboo hat, “Hierarch, I couldn’t agree with you. It’s rare for such a treasure as the Full Moon and Heart Strings to appear in the world. If I don’t come to have a look for fun, isn’t the life too boring?”
After being silent for a short while, Ling Li slowed down his tone, “Mr. Li, the pill of the Full Moon and Heart Strings is of great use to me. If you just want to see what it looks like, I can lend it to you for three days after I get it. This time, please don’t do anything. I owe you a favor.”
Looking at Su Li, who suddenly changed her voice, Yun Yi and others were completely surprised.
Was the Miss Mr. Li, who was mysterious with an appalling background?!
Yunyi and others were all stunned with their eyes opened wide, and they dared not look back at Su Li. What they saw today was just like in a dream, which seemed so unreal.
One was a weak princess born in folk with ordinary skills;
One was Mr. Li, who has the means to reach heaven and the highest level of the martial arts circle.
These two turned out to be the same one？!
Yun Yi and all the others were extremely shocked, but Su Li narrowed her eyes and secretly transmitted the sound to Wen Tingshan as he said, “I knew well the reason why the Yinmo Cult wants the Full Moon and Heart Strings, but…”
Thinking of the relations.h.i.+p between Mr. Li and Su Li, Ling Li felt uncomfortable for a while. But when he felt the retreating intention of Mr. Li from his words, Ling Li was slightly relieved instantly, “But what?”
To be honest, Ling Li knew well that he was not sure to win if he fought with Mr. Li. Although Mr. Li had never taken actions since he appeared, but he always felt that he was very dangerous. It seemed that there was an extremely dangerous force in his body, which made him very afraid.
Just as Ling Li finished talking, Su Li’s eyes suddenly contracted. She secretly transmitted the sound to Wen Tingshan, “No more wait. Let’s take actions!”
Bang bang bang bang…!!
The violent noise came from the top of the head abruptly, which was like the oppressive and terrifying roar of the sea.
Ling Li’s face suddenly changed. Ling Qinglan threw out a folding fan without hesitation which turned into a protective tactical matrix and covered everyone in it. After that, several black figures suddenly fell from the sky like dumplings. They fell on the barrier of the protective tactical matrix and rolled to the ground, unable to move.
“This…”
Seeing the sudden appearance of a dozen more people in black, everyone was shocked except Su Li and some others of the Linli Building who knew the fact.
Wail!!
A very light gray shadow flashed. Wen Tingshan appeared in front of Su Li, which frightened Yunyi and others almost to have cardiac arrest and blood coagulation.
Where was this horrible person from? They didn’t even notice how he appeared.
Only Ling Li saw this person’s track of action. He was clearly from the above, and finally stood in front of Su Li.
So…
Ling Li seemed to think of something. Looking at the men in black on the ground who couldn’t move, his eyes narrowed slowly.
Wen Tingshan pretended to salute Su Li but in fact transmitted the sound secretly, “One of them is a warrior who reached the intersection to the longevity realm and I have marked.”
“I know. Go to the waterside pavilion in the southern city first and don’t let the people of the Lians.h.i.+ Cult escape.” Wen Tingshan nodded and then disappeared again.
Although Wen Tingshan left, the rest of the people didn’t feel relieved. Ling Mo and others were really shocked. But Ling Qinglan remembered that this person was the senior he saw in the Linli Building last time.
A senior of the longevity realm!
Ling Li waved to let Ling Qinglan remove the protective tactical matrix. Then he went to the man in black lying on the ground. He squatted down and reached out to uncover the face towel to reveal his face.
Although he didn’t know this man but he could guess his ident.i.ty.
The middle-aged man in black was stiff and could only turn his eyes and look at the Jade Bone Mask, the bamboo hat and green clothes not far away. He was frightened inside. They were sent by Dongfang Xiao to inquire about the news. Naturally, they had their own unique points. On the concealment ability, even general warriors of the longevity realm couldn’t compare with them. What’s more, they had already reached the intersection to the longevity realm themselves, so, even the seniors of the longevity realm couldn’t find them.
But this time, he didn’t see the figure of the person at all. He just felt the darkness in front of him and then his cultivation was imprisoned and he was thrown down from the tree above.
That’s too horrible!
There was a so horrifying person in the Linli Building. I must tell the head of our family about this!
Thinking of this, the heart of the middle-aged man in black was full of bitterness. He had become the fish on the chopping board, so, it was not known whether he could go back alive or not.
“What I hate most in my life is that someone overhears.”
Su Li walked slowly, talking with a light tone, but for the middle-aged man in black, it sounded totally cold, “Tell me, you little mice hiding in the dark. Which force are you from? What do you want?”
When hearing this, the middle-aged man in black twisted his mouth in anger because the man asked him this question on purpose. He knew that his tendons and vessels had been banned and couldn’t transmit the sound.
Ling Li stood up and made a bow to Su Li with hands folded in front. His voice was low but sincere, “Thank you very much.”
Needless to say, with Mr. Li’s wisdom, he could surely understand what he was thanking for.
Su Li nodded a little and transmitted the sound, “Hierarch Ling, these people must be a lot of trouble for you. Why don’t you let me deal with them?”
Ling Li frowned a little and transmitted the sound, “Sir, it’s impossible that you don’t know their origin.”
Su Li smiled quietly, “I just asked them about their origin. Since they didn’t tell me, how could I know that? In this case, I will certainly deal with those who disturbed me abruptly by myself.”
Although knowing this was a false reason, Ling Li couldn’t find any points to refute. He smiled bitterly in heart but didn’t forget to transmit the sound, “They were discovered by you, sir. Naturally, you should deal with them. We, the Yinmo Cult, will not interfere in this matter.”
Su Li nodded and ordered someone to find a carriage and throw the people of the Dongfang Family into it at random and then carried them back to the Linli Building.
The Auction Fair was a great event, and all the forces in the world gathered here. The Dongfang Family would be sure to observe secretly and wouldn’t take any actions. Both the Linli Building and the Yinmo Cult were not suitable to be exposed. Therefore, Su Li had asked Wen Tingshan to look around for traces of the Dongfang Family.
As expected, most of the agents of the Dongfang Family followed Ling Li. This time, Ling Li’s action was really flawed. According to his previous actions, it should not be like this.
Su Li had doubts in her heart, but it’s not appropriate to ask clearly, so, she could only take people to go with Ling Li to the waterside pavilion in the southern city.
…
In a horse house of the waterside pavilion, the Fourth Elder of the Lians.h.i.+ Cult hid in the dark place, weakening his breath to avoid being exposed. He was waiting quietly for the arrival of other people in the Lians.h.i.+ Cult. This was the place agreed by Tao Zisang. The Third Prince arranged the waterside pavilion personally and the servants were temporarily dismissed.
Elder Tao changed the plan temporarily, and as expected, no one followed him. The Full Moon and Heart Strings would belong to their Lians.h.i.+ Cult!
The Fourth Elder’s eyes twinkled with excitement. He took out the gla.s.s bottle from his arms and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, his expression slightly changed. He sniffed close to the gla.s.s bottle. It was a very light fragrance. If he didn’t shrink in the corner and looked at the gla.s.s bottle so close, he would not find it.
Someone made some changes on the gla.s.s bottle!
Escape!
There was only one word left in Fourth Elder’s mind. He stood up and was about to rush out without saying a word. Suddenly, he was in a daze and fell down without knowing anything. The gla.s.s bottle also fell on the ground and rolled to a person’s feet.
Wen Tingshan picked up the gla.s.s bottle and silently pa.s.sed it to Su Li. By the moonlight, Ling Li could see that there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
What a loyal subordinate!
Ling Li praised him inside, and his psychic awareness swept over the outside of the waterside pavilion from time to time.
According to Su Li’s suggestion, only Su Li, Ling Li and Wen Tingshan came into the waterside pavilion.
Although Ling Li was scared facing such a terrible person as Wen Tingshan, since the agent thing of the Dongfang Family happened, he still chose to believe Su Li.
Su Li shook the gla.s.s bottle and giggled. Then she took out an elixir and a gla.s.s bottle that were just the same as the former ones from her arms and put them in the arms of the Fourth Elder. Wen Tingshan was surprised. And Ling Li was stunned. But thanks to his mask, no one saw his expression.
Now he finally understood why Su Li didn’t let a lot of people in. She had a plan.
“You…”
Su Li threw the gla.s.s bottle to Ling Li without saying anything. Ling Li hurried to put it away with a complaining look. If it’s broken, how could he explain it to Su Li.
“The elder of the Lians.h.i.+ Cult has cultivated for many years, isn’t it a waste for him to die like this?”
Su Li said as she opened the Fourth Elders’ mouth and fed him on a bottle of medicine. Ling Li was confused. So, he couldn’t help asking, “What’s that?”
Wen Tingshan snorted coldly, “Don’t ask more than you should, Hierarch Ling.”
He didn’t have any good feelings for the Yinmo Cult. At that time, when the Yinmo Cult was still in the Real Spiritual Circle, the Wanjian Mountain and the Yinmo Cult, one was a decent example and the other was a devil one, which could be said that they were totally incompatible like water and fire.
Later, the Yinmo Cult withdrew from the Real Spiritual Circle voluntarily, so, the hostility was relieved a lot.
Ling Li felt cold all over, as if he had been chased by a fierce beast. His eyes flashed with cold, but he heard Su Li’s reprimand before he could refute.
“Protector Shan, Hierarch Ling is the honored guest of the Linli Building. Don’t be rude.”
Wen Tingshan narrowed his eyes, which made Ling Li feel cold all over. He even had the illusion that Wen Tingshan would take actions next moment. But in the end, he just snorted coldly and then turned his head.
Ling Li was relieved. He didn’t understand why the subordinates of the Linli Building were hostile to him, but it’s also not suitable for him to ask clearly.
“Let’s go.”
A hand gently patted on his shoulder. Ling Li returned to his sense and saw Wen Tingshan, who followed Su Li obediently, so, he followed, too.
In the late night, the cold wind blew. The battle in Yunjing City was still on and the cries of killing could be heard everywhere. The two people who really got the Full Moon and Heart Strings were now at leisure.
Su Li and Ling Li separately repelled their subordinates and walked in the woods to talk to each other.
“Aren’t you curious about what I gave him to drink? That’s my unique poison. He won’t remember being beaten or the gla.s.s bottled being changed. He will only remember that he just sleeps in the waterside pavilion in the southern city.”
Su Li suddenly talked. Hearing this, Ling Li felt very scared because his suspicion came true.
It’s true that Mr. Li and Su Li had learned from the same sect. Otherwise, they both cultivated medicine and poison skills together. If it’s a coincidence, it’s too hard to explain…
