Chapter 319 Mom
Though the face of the young man changed, Ling Li recognized him at first glance. He was Fang Yuan who learned skills from Ling Li at the valley that year.
But what made Ling Li surprised was that Fang Yuan, who was in the acquired top hurdle in the past, now reached the third longevity realm unexpectedly in just three or four years.
If it hadn’t been the help of “Mr. Li”, he should have been behind Fang Yuan in terms of cultivation.
When Ling Li felt surprised, Fang Yuan slightly t.i.tled his face, staring at Yue Wuhai, with his sword-like eyebrows up.
Yue Wuhai lowered his head quickly. He knew he had made mistakes, so, he didn’t find any excuse.
“You, follow me.”
In spite of Yue Wuhai, Fang Yuan glanced at Ling Li’s shocked face. Fang Yuan tried to stay calm and speak peacefully. Before Ling Li replied, he turned around and went to the valley.
Ling Li felt something strange while he was moving. He tried to find every single clue of Su Li even if it was extremely dangerous.
“Here is Boss Ling!” Someone shouted amazedly. On the half way, Ling Li, who was serious, heard it suddenly.
Ling Li saw a young man with a dark face. He was Hei, who now reached the peak of the inborn realm. Others all made great progress in terms of cultivation, being in the mid or late hurdle of the inborn realm.
“When did those following Su Li have such cultivation…”
Ling Li was really shocked. But this valley was obviously controlled by Fang Yuan. He couldn’t get anything unless Fang Yuan spoke on his own initiative. So, he could only follow Fang Yuan. Finally, they stopped in front of a building.
“This is…”
Looking at the old but clean bamboo building, Ling Li was stunned, recalling something happened four years ago.
Li killed two elders of Blood Refining Hall there that year. Then she took him to settle down and spent a lot of money and several months healing his toxic scars.
It was a pity that he couldn’t see clearly his real feeling and hurt Li by calling her “Ling Xue” at that time.
“Li… lives here?”
Ling Li couldn’t speak out as if his throat was locked. After a while, he could say a few words and stood still.
After a silence, Fang Yuan replied, “What you said is not wrong.”
“Really?!”
Ling Li was shocked and went upstairs right now. When he arrived at the door, he pushed it with trembling hands.
Fang Yuan stood downstairs and laughed at him. He didn’t hate Ling Li anymore, and at this moment… He even felt Ling Li was pitiful.
No matter what happened in the past, at least now —
They were all poor guys.
“Creak —”
The door opened with a light sound, as if it were welcoming the guest who hadn’t come here for a long time.
Incense filled the room. The scene inside the door suddenly occurred into his eyes —
Ling Li was shocked and couldn’t believe what he saw at that moment.
That was… a memorial tablet.
The two words “Su Li” on it were really clear and red, which made his eyes painful. That fatal pain spread all over his body and then… his hazy anger erupted suddenly!
“I don’t believe that!!”
“But it is the truth. You cannot change it.”
Fang Yuan came in silently and burned a stick of incense, with a focused and soulful face.
Li, I had given him the opportunity.
He, didn’t burn incense for you finally.
Fang Yuan thought so, as if he were talking with Su Li. He looked gentler and warmer.
After setting the incense, he swept the dust on the table and turned around. He calmly looked at Ling Li who was sad.
Half a year ago, he… acted alike. If it wasn’t that he didn’t finish his wish, he would kill himself to accompany with Su Li without hesitation!
“Ling Li!”
An august sound with the spirit of longevity realm flied to Ling Li’s ears, which made him get nervous.
Feeling Ling Li’s attention came back, Fang Yuan sneered, “Be brave! I let you come not for seeing your amusing look. Before Li died, she left some last wishes. But now I can’t finish them, so I want you to accomplish them.”
Ling Li refreshed suddenly when he heard the words. He stared at Fang Yuan for a while and then spoke with a hoa.r.s.e voice,
“You… Would you?”
He could tell that Fang Yuan… also had strong feelings for Su Li. If he put himself on Fang Yuan’s place, he would not allow others to handle the things related with Su Li.
Fang Yuan laughed after hearing what Ling Li said, as if he was a winner. He said, “I love her… more than you!”
Ling Li got really mad, “What did you say?”
“Do you want to hear again? You are so annoying, Ling Li…”
When Fang Yuan was speaking, Ling Li punched him suddenly. Ling Li’s eyes were filled with extreme anger.
Bang!
The fist brutally hit on Fang Yuan’s side face. As Ling Li was still stunned, his right face was suddenly hit by Fang Yuan’s fist.
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!
They fought for a long time but didn’t use Xuangong tacitly. They beat and kicked each other like two boys. Soon, they all got injured, looking embarra.s.sing.
After hearing it, Qu Qingning rushed there but left quickly with a smile, followed by Fang Mu, who was curious about it.
Then Luo Yichen, who had been Mei’s husband, arrived quickly but also left the valley quickly.
After Su Li’s disappearance, Fang Yuan’s temper became really strange. He didn’t want to irritate Fang Yuan, for he wanted to accompany with Mei Ruohan.
No matter Ling Li or Fang Yuan, they were all in the longevity realm. They all had strong power, so, without Xuangong, they would not feel tired.
After fighting for a long time, which was about several days and nights, Ling Li’s original look couldn’t have been recognized. He struggled to free his hands and kicked Fang Yuan on his face. And then they were separated at once.
Fang Yuan looked serious and wanted to stand up. But after trying several times to use his muscles, he failed to stand up. Finally, he lost his strength and lied on the ground.
Seeing this, Ling Li laughed out loudly. He lied on the ground with Fang Yuan, panting but showing off, “I… win… you … you are weaker than me!”
Fang Yuan opened his eyes and felt unhappy. He panted, “If… If not… Su Li’s… elixir, you… cannot…”
“What elixir?”
Ling Li asked unconsciously and sat up suddenly in spite of pains. He asked with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Elixir? The one which made me to be in the longevity realm?”
Fang Yuan knew that he had let it slip, so, he stopped. If he told Ling Li the truth, he would go against Su Li’s last will.
But Ling Li was resourceful since he was a child. Just now, he was in a state of depression just because of Su Li. Now, after the fight, it was the time to keep sober for him. Many things came to his mind. All of a sudden, he thought of all kinds of possibilities that he had not thought about before.
“Did that elixir from Su Li? But it was Mr. Li who gave me it!”
Ling Li stood up at once, and there was a gust of wind caused by his wave, which removed all the dirt from his clothes. Then, with a movement, a jade-bone mask appeared in his hands.
He looked at Fang Yuan, whose eyes were still closed, and said in a deep voice, “This mask matches the one that I gave her that year. If the other one becomes ownerless, as long as the range is within 100,000 miles, I will feel it. But now… I don’t feel anything. How do you explain that?”
Fang Yuan opened his eyes and stared at the strange jade-bone mask. He was not surprised at all and still kept silence.
Ling Li took a deep breath to suppress his uneasy conjecture, and continued, “I just want to ask you that how did Su Li die? It has been so long. Have you ever avenged her?”
Avenged?
Fang Yuan’s lips were tightened subconsciously and his expression slightly changed. Although it was not obvious, Ling Li saw it acutely.
“You have not avenged her!” Ling Li’s eyes became indifferent, “Who is the murderer?”
Feeling that he had recovered a little strength, Fang Yuan stood up and slowly cleaned up the dirt on his clothes. He was hesitating and tangled, as if he was worried about something.
Ling Li was very patient and didn’t urge him. He stood silently and waited for him to say. But his sharp eyes still made Fang Yuan stressful.
After a long time, Fang Yuan realized that there was no dirt on his clothes. He suddenly recovered, and looked up. Ling Li still stared at him. Seeing this, Fang Yuan stopped cleaning the dirt, and turned to the East Courtyard, as if he had figured it out.
“Follow me, and you will know it.”
Hearing it, Ling Li was excited and immediately followed.
After they walked through the gate, Ling Li suddenly saw many wooden toys. The surface was very smooth. Obviously, they had been carefully polished. He could not help being puzzled. Was Fang Yuan going to take him to see a child?
But what was the relations.h.i.+p between the child and Su Li?
“Here we are.”
When Ling Li was wondering, Fang Yuan spoke suddenly, because they had arrived at the door of the room. Ling Li looked up subconsciously and saw that in the small s.p.a.ce surrounded by wooden bars, a baby, who looked less than one year old, was playing with wooden toys, accompanied by his mammy.
“The baby…”
From the moment when he saw the baby, Ling Li was shocked, and a sense of kins.h.i.+p came out of his heart.
His son?！
How could it be his son? Su Li and he had not…
Waited!!
Ling Li suddenly thought of something and stood here in trance.
Fang Yuan felt upset slightly. As expected, as long as Ling Li saw the baby, he could recognize him at a glance.
He loved Su Li no less than Ling Li, but his luck was… much worse than him.
At this time, it seemed that the baby felt something. He turned around and saw two men standing at the door. Then he immediately smiled and showed two small front teeth that had just grown out. He babbled out,
“Mom!”
