Chapter 174 Temperament Changed
Su Li arrived at the Su House by nightfall. Li Yuelian and Su Huanli were busy in preparing for the festival, and the Su House finally had a festive atmosphere. But Su Li didn’t see Su Zipei and Zhu Yan. The Old Lady was fascinated by the Buddha and stayed in her room. Except for servants, the Su House was desolate.
“Miss, you are back!”
Mammy Li quickly handed a towel to Su Li to wipe her face. The maids behind her immediately shouted tidily,
“Second Miss!”
“Second Miss!”
“…”
She was not familiar with these servants because she never saw them before. Su Li could not help but ask, “Mammy, they…”
Mammy Li knew what she was asking. She quickly took Su Li to the room as she said, “Miss, First Master came back during the day. These servants are brought back by him.”
Su Li pondered and didn’t ask any other questions. But she was secretly vigilant inside. The Eldest Brother clearly said before that the Su House did not need many servants and there was no need to waste money. Did Eldest Brother suddenly change his mind?
“Where is my Eldest Brother? I want to see him.”
“He is probably talking about the matter that the Baiwei Building restarts business with master in the study…”
Then, Su Li handed back the wet towel and walked to Su Qingtan’s study. The Su House was not large. After a while, Su Li appeared outside the study, but she was stopped by Su Qingtan’s personal maid Zhu’er. The maid said arrogantly, “First Master said that beside master, no one can come in to disturb him at the moment.”
Su Li was stunned. What surprised her was not the command of Su Qingtan, but Zhu’er. She was not a virgin at all, because Su Li could still sniffed the b.l.o.o.d.y smell. It happened today.
“The First Master came back during the day….”
Recalling what Mammy Li said before, Su Li frowned. Did the Eldest Brother do this?
Zhu’er served her Eldest Brother for ten years. Nothing happened between them in the ten years. She didn’t believe that her Eldest Brother would be so lecherous that he even couldn’t do it in the evening.
Su Li was not stupid, so, she didn’t ask Zhu’er directly. She retreated to the door, and drove her psychic awareness quietly into the study.
Soon, the scene in the study appeared in her psychic awareness. Su Huanli and Su Qingtan sat next to the table. Sure enough, they were talking about the matter of the Baiwei Building. Su Qingtan was normal as usual, but Su Li felt strange.
She thought that her Eldest Brother was righteous and polite before. But now he was madcap.
He became confident from inside. The feeling of inferiority that originally caused by the cultivation was gone…
Su Li was gloomy. What did Ling Qinglan do to him?
Then, her psychic awareness coagulated in the shape of a string. When it was close to infiltrating into the body of Su Qingtan, Su Li stopped. She found that someone had set a curb in his pineal!
If she drove the inborn psychic awareness into the human body to explore, the most convenient way was to touch the body. But Su Li wanted to explore him from a long distance, so, she could only enter his body from the pineal. As long as she s.h.i.+elded the perception of it first, she could explore the latter’s body.
If the latter’s soul force was more powerful than the explorer, the explorer’s psychic awareness was likely to be swallowed by the pineal and then the explorer would be seriously injured. Therefore, the senior of the inborn realm would never use this method to explore each other.
Some people was born with a strong soul force. Some even stronger than the warriors of the inborn realm. Therefore, it was also dangerous that the warrior of the inborn realm explored those warriors’ pineal of the acquired realm.
Su Li slowly withdrew the psychic awareness with hesitation. She was calculating the gains and losses.
The curb in Su Qingtan’s pineal was not a harmful thing, but a warning, a warning from a warrior of the inborn realm. It proved that this person was protected by him. Undoubtedly, this warrior of the inborn realm could only be Ling Qinglan.
If she broke the curb, Ling Qinglan was likely to find that. She did not have the confidence that if she would leave any breaths after she broke the curb. If Su Qingtan found that, she would be exposed.
More importantly, though Su Qingtan tried his best to suppress his breath, Su Li still found that his cultivation now had reached the acquired sixth hurdle! And it was becoming stronger at a weird speed!
Her Eldest Brother’s strength became stronger, and she was happy for him. She was not sure whether it might have an impact on Su Qingtan’s cultivation or not after she broke the curb. But she was also worried that this secret method of improving cultivation in a short period would bring unpredictable damage to her Eldest Brother…
When Su Li was thinking of that, the door suddenly opened.
Su Li looked up and saw Su Huanli come out leisurely. Su Qingtan stood by the door and smiled. He said, “I have talked to the Officer of the Supreme Judiciary. The Baiwei Building will be reopen soon. Rest a.s.sured, father.”
“Great!”
Su Huanli laughed and turned around. He saw Su Li stand by the courtyard door. He immediately stunned and asked, “Li, when did you come back? Why didn’t you come in?”
Su Li moved her lips, but before she said something, Su Qingtan said with a smile, “Father, I told the maid that don’t let my Second Sister come in. The industry of our Su Family will be managed by me. Isn’t it good for Second Sister to live cozily?”
Su Huanli was stunned. He seemed to doubt whether his eldest son said that or not. In the past, Su Qingtan told him more than once that he would give half of the income of the Baiwei Building to Su Li. Why did he change his mind today?
Was he… enlightened?
Thinking of this, Su Huanli was happy, and he quickly said, “Right! Right! Li, you’re old enough to get married. There are a lot of wealthy people in Yunjing City…”
“Father!”
Su Qingtan’s expression changed slightly and interrupted Su Huanli.
Su Huanli was surprised. Was his eldest son… angry just now? But he just said the truth. Why was his son angry?
“Eldest Brother?”
Su Li asked with confusion. Su Qingtan heard her soft and sweet voice and was immediately turned on. Su Li could see that from his eyes. And he had erection. But in an instant, he was cold down. His whole body seemed to be poured by ice water, and he didn’t have any desire at all.
Su Li frowned imperceptibly and felt her Eldest Brother was strange.
“Father, we can talk about her marriage later. Let’s solve the matter of the Baiwei Building first.”
Su Qingtan found a rational reason to persuade Su Huanli. Su Huanli agreed him and said, “I am leaving. You didn’t sleep well recently because of the matter of our family. You have a good rest. I will tell your mother to ask you out for the reunion dinner.”
Su Qingtan said “hum” slightly and he only could show no expressions but calmness. He turned his head and looked at Su Li with cold eyes. He said, “Second Sister, you can go and help mother. Today, I am tired. Zhu’er…”
Zhu’er was happy about Su Qingtan’s order. She immediately stepped forward and pushed Su Li to the outside. She whispered beside Su Li’s ear, “Get out quickly! Don’t you see that First Master don’t want to see you?!”
Su Li gently bit her lower lip and glanced at Su Qingtan sadly. Then, she left silently.
Zhu’er was prouder for that. It seemed that she had won a big victory in the battle. Her virginity was taken by First Master, which meant she had belonged to him. Even if she was not good enough, she could become his concubine. At that time, she was Su Li’s elder. She forgot the courtesy because of her arrogance.
She thought that her voice was small enough, but Su Qingtan now was the senior who reached the acquired sixth hurdle, so, he could hear all her words. He was so angry that his eyes reddened. He said undoubtedly, “Zhu’er, come in!”
Zhu’er was scared by the sudden shout and looked back at Su Qingtan who went in the room. She was bashful but still followed him…
After some repressed wheeze, the red color in Su Qingtan’s eyes faded away. He adjusted his clothes and got out of the bed. He was in a daze for a while and finally he felt repentant.
Su Qingtan laughed bitterly inside. He got up and walked to the window of the study room. He didn’t regret to become a member of the Yinmo Cult and to practice the weird Xuangong. He only regretted that he didn’t listen to Ling Qinglan. He should go outside after he pa.s.sed the l.u.s.t period. But he was afraid that Su Li would worry about him, so, he went out in advance.
He thought that there would be no mistakes under the suppression of the cold air given by Ling Qinglan, but once he came back, he made an irreparable mistake…
“As soon as I saw her, I used three groups of cold air to repress my l.u.s.t. As for the reunion dinner… I can’t have it.”
Su Qingtan made up his mind and left with the clothes and sword hanging on the wall uncompromisingly. He said, “Zhu’er, tell my father that I need to be dealt with some urgent matters in the Supreme Judiciary. I will not have dinner tonight.”
“What?”
Zhu’er still gloated in the bed. When she suddenly heard the voice of Su Qingtan, she popped out her head in surprise. She said, “Master, won’t you have the reunion dinner?”
When she was asking, Su Qingtan had disappeared.
It was in the Supreme Judiciary.
Su Qingtan slowly walked to the study, and the door of the study was suddenly opened silently. Ling Qinglan smiled and leaned against the door. He faintly said, “Are you back?”
Su Qingtan nodded constrainedly. Ling Qinglan sniffed and scolded, “I advised you at that time. It was not the time for you to go out. I didn’t even return to the Ling House. But… fortunately, the virginity is not a must to practice Qiyu Xuangong, otherwise…”
Su Qingtan was nervous and he said with a low voice, “I know that it is my fault.”
When Ling Qinglan heard the words of Su Qingtan, he finally stopped smiling and said coldly,
“Remember! Since you entered the Yinmo Cult, your life is not yours! You can’t revolt my order! I train you as my successor, and one day you will take over my position. Don’t let me lose face in front of the hierarch.”
Su Qingtan nodded silently, but he did not agree with Ling Qinglan inside.
Ling Qinglan was a senior of the inborn realm and his life was extremely long. Ling Qinglan couldn’t even know whether he could reach the inborn realm. Maybe when he died, Ling Qinglan still lived well. As for taking over his position, no one knew what would happen in the future!
He never wanted to usurp his position. After all, as long as he pa.s.sed the dangerous periods of Qiyu Xuangong, he could become stronger. By then, he could control his own desire and better protect his Second Sister.
When he thought of that he said to Su Li coldly out of urgent, he couldn’t wait to go back and explain it to Su Li right now. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see Su Li at this moment at all. Otherwise, if he made the mistake that he would regret throughout his life, he could never forgive himself!
