Chapter 604 That Era
Bai Su was embarra.s.sed.
Very embarra.s.sed.
He wanted to pretend to be solemn in front of Su Jiuzhou. But he didn’t expect that Qian Mu appeared and made him awkward. He couldn’t continue to pretend.
“Okay, Black Lotus, since you know each other, you can talk about it later.”
Su Li stopped Black Lotus from cursing timely and conjured up exquisite tea cups and chairs. Then she sat on one side and invited Bai Su to take a seat as well.
Bai Su glanced at the tattered tea set in the room and then looked at the cup glittering with treasure light on Su Li’s table. He was ashamed of himself and sat opposite Su Li with a sigh.
He looked ashamed on the surface. Although Qian Mu’s appearance was a surprise, he was still uncertain whether Su Jiuzhou was her or not.
The skills of Tianxing couldn’t be totally convinced.
Regardless of the guidelines, he had to verify it personally. Otherwise, it would cause a big trouble.
The guy Tianxing once transmitted the sound to him. When Su Jiuzhou saw the painting, she wasn’t surprised at all.
Either she didn’t recognize the painting because she was not Su Li, or Su Li was more sophisticated than before. She wouldn’t show any trace of her state of mind on her face.
Since Su Jiuzhou entered the room, he had been observing Su Jiuzhou’s behaviors secretly. He tried to find a sense of familiarity, but he couldn’t find it until now…
Su Li lowered her head and poured a cup of tea for the silent old beggar, “Black Lotus said that your name is Bai Su. Is it possible that you have something to do with the Fate Ancestor Bai Ming?”
Bai Su felt anxious. It was the reason why he didn’t want to say his name.
“Grand Elder Su, why do you bother to be connected with Holy Girl Su? With your talent and strength, it is easy to establish a sect and enhance your prestige. And even the Lord of Shengtian Shrine will appreciate your potential and make friends with you.”
Su Li lowered her head and took a sip of tea slowly. Then she said calmly, “I am here not to answer your questions. Xie Tianxing personally promised that you will answer one of my questions unconditionally.”
Bai Su, “???”
Xie Tianxing, who was waiting in front of the gate of Tianxing Valley, suddenly sneezed and s.h.i.+vered. Then he muttered, “What the h.e.l.l! Who is talking about me?”
“A man cannot succeed without integrity. Isn’t integrity the most important thing in Tianxing Valley?”
Su Li took off her veil, revealing the face of this life. She stared at Bai Su with her bright eyes which made him nervous. “Senior, as the old ancestor of Tianxing Valley, you should play an exemplary role.”
Bai Su lost in thought once again. Should he believe Su Jiuzhou?
“Master! Master! I’m back!”
Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded outside the door. Bai Su came to his senses and found that he had no time to stop her. He had to watched the woman in the uniform of Ciyun Building’s disciples push the door and walk in.
When Xuan Yu’er saw someone in the room, she was stunned for a second. When she saw Su Li who was sitting across from her master, she realized that she seemed to have disturbed her master…
Except for her master and the Grand Elder of Ciyun Building, no one else knew that she was a disciple of Tianxing Valley.
“It turns out that you are the master pf Xuan Yu’er. No wonder…”
Su Li remembered Xuan Yu’er’s various weird performances in Tianjiao Battle. It turned out that she was guided by Bai Su. It was not surprising that some things could be foreseen by the skill of divination of the old ancestor of Tianxing Valley.
“Senior Su!”
Xuan Yu’er gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she came up to Su Li and knelt down in front of her.
“Yu’er!”
Bai Su’s look changed slightly. But Xuan Yu’er was stubborn and didn’t want to get up.
Su Li asked softly, “What are you doing?”
Xuan Yu’er held her fist in the other hand and said in a clear and firm tone, “Senior, I request you to save my master’s life! He once said that his death was approaching, and only with the help of the right person can he stand a chance of surviving. To this end, my master divined that you were the right person! Please save my master. I can do anything for you!”
“OK.”
Su Li put down the cup. Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She answered in a relaxed tone, “As long as you can persuade Ciyun Building to sincerely join in Ni Sect, I will promise you.”
“Really?!” Xuan Yu’er’s eyes brightened.
“Yu’er!”
Bai Su wore a long face, “None of your business. Get out!”
“What’s the matter, Old Ancestor Bai?”
Su Li straightened up and looked at Bai Su meaningfully, “Do you think I’m joking?”
Bai Su was shocked and became speechless.
“What I said is true.”
She smiled and gently swilled the tea around in her cup, staring at the distorted face rippling on the surface, “Don’t you invite me here to cope with Bai Ming?”
“Grand Elder Su, since you come to the point…”
Bai Su gave a wry smile. His opportunity was disturbed by Xuan Yu’er, and he had no choice now.
Knowing that Master had made up his mind, Xuan Yu’er couldn’t help but stuck her tongue out. Then she got up and closed the wooden door before leaving.
The light in the room dimmed a little. The room was silent for a moment. Bai Su felt relaxed and said in low tone,
“Bai Ming, is my biological younger brother.”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes.
…
Xie Tianxing raised his brows and sneered when he saw the visitor in front of the gate of Tianxing Valley, “It turns out to be our Lord of Evil!”
When Ling Li saw Xie Tianxing, he felt troubled. “Why are you here?”
Back then, he had contact with Xie Tianxing, and Xie Tianxing was defeated by him. So, Xie Tianxing resented him deeply. Coupled with the rumors spread by Shengtian Shrine in the outside world…
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Xie Tianxing laughed with a mysterious look, “Do you really think I don’t know you were following me? You should thank me for the fact that I allow you to be here.”
“You can’t find me.” Ling Li glanced over Xie Tianxing, “Is Su Jiuzhou?”
“Why can’t I find you?”
Xie Tianxing was ashamed into anger, “Thanks to you, it is much easier to break through cultivation in Qingshui Circle than before. Although I am a little older than you, I also pa.s.sed the nature’s test. I’m at the same realm with you!”
Xie Tianxing was still haranguing, but Ling Li had run out of patience with him. Ling Li frowned and interrupted him, “Where is the Owner of Tianxing Valley? I want to borrow the Guiming Mirror from him.”
“Ling Li, are you daydreaming?”
Xie Tianxing sneered, “When you broke in last time, my father said very clearly that we would never lend out the treasures of Tianxing Valley to the holy sects controlled by Fate Palace. Let alone Shengtian Shrine which works hand in glove with Fate Palace. You…”
“I have been divorced from Shengtian Shrine.”
Ling Li interrupted Xie Tianxing, “The Owner will know it at a glance.”
Xie Tianxing laughed out louder, pointing at Ling Li with heavy sarcasm, “You divorced from Shengtian? What day is today? Are you kidding me? Maybe I will believe that Ling Xian divorces from Shengtian Shrine. But you? Ridiculous!”
“You do not believe me?”
Ling Li lowered his head and asked in a low voice, “So, how about we make a bet?”
“Good!”
Xie Tianxing was afraid that Ling Li would go back on it and said quickly, “Remember what you’ve said. If you really divorced from Shengtian Shrine, I will no longer be the Young Owner of Tianxing Valley! But if I find you lied…”
Xie Tianxing gave a terrifying look, “I want you to say yes to a request of mine unconditionally.”
“OK.”
Ling Li nodded directly. “Can you take me to see the Owner of Tianxing Valley?”
Xie Tianxing was confused.
So simple?
So freely?!
“What’s wrong? Can’t you do that?”
Ling Li frowned and questioned him. Xie Tianxing nodded quickly, “Yes, I can. Come with me!”
Whatever!
Xie Tianxing thought, “Anyway, the Young Owner is not me actually. It’s my eldest brother. Nothing would happen if I lose. I wouldn’t lose anything!”
He laughed inwardly, thinking Ling Li wasn’t smarter than him.
…
In the cottage room on the top of the mountain—
“So, you and your younger brother have different ideas. He left Tianxing Valley to set up Fate Palace and became an enemy of you? He did those just to prove that the natural law is supreme and inviolable?”
Su Li said quizzically, “I guess that your good-for-nothing younger brother got angry and ran away from home because he couldn’t be in charge of Tianxing Valley.”
Bai Su gave a long face and became speechless.
“However, you must have heard one thing. Even Chi Tian couldn’t recognize the power of your biological younger brother and the ancient secret skills he masters. Maybe…”
Su Li said slowly, “Your biological younger brother wasn’t alive long ago.”
“No, he is still alive!”
Bai Su said firmly, “He is just suppressed by Bai Mo.”
Bai Mo!
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. This was the same name that the First Elder of the Ling Family mentioned.
Was Fate Ancestor of the current Fate Palace really Bai Mo who killed Ling Qingshui back then and destroyed an era?
“Bai Ming, my biological younger brother, is the lineal offspring of Tianxing Valley. He masters all the Tianxing Secret Methods and also all the secrets skills of self-rescue, which even can’t be totally penetrated by that powerful Bai Mo. Maybe Bai Mo thought that my younger brother’s awareness has disappeared. In fact, my brother’s soul tablet card has not been broken.”
Bai Su’s eyes were burning with hope. “He may be hiding in the body occupied by Bai Mo somewhere and waiting for me to save him!”
“I see.”
Su Li tapped her knuckles on the table. Light flashed through her eyes. Suddenly, she asked softly, “Old Ancestor Bai, have you heard of Ling Qingshui?”
Bai Su was shocked, and he looked at Su Li in amazement, “You…?!”
Su Li narrowed her eyes and chuckled, “It seems that you have heard of it. You definitely know that truth of the destruction of the Ling Family, don’t you?”
Bai Su broke into a cold sweat on his wrinkled forehead. He stared at Su Li in amazement and said in a trembling voice,
“Ling Family, that Ling Family… All the memories of that era were regarded as shame by the natural law and were forcibly erased. You… How did you know that?”
