Chapter 643 Reunion
Su Li raised her brows, and saw that the person who came over was a middle-aged man dressed in a cyan warrior uniform in her divine awareness. His pneuma was equivalent to that in nature’s test. Maybe he was the King Warrior of this camp.
The middle-aged man with curly beard found that King Warrior asked, and then he immediately opened the gate a crack.
“My Lord, Ding Zhang is here to salute you!”
Li Hong glanced at Su Li through the crack of the door and frowned, “What’s the matter?”
Ding Zhang didn’t dare to tell the truth. He said, “My Lord, there is a very weak female warrior who comes here to make trouble for no reason. We are about to drive her away! Look at her thin body, which can be blown away by a gust of wind…”
Li Hong didn’t wait for Ding Zhang to explain. Just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from his awareness sea.
“Want to leave? No wonder there are people like Ding Zhang.”
Li Hong paused. He was a little shocked. He turned around and strode towards the gate.
Ding Zhang suddenly panicked, “My Lord! You are so busy. You don’t have to waste your energy on such a waste!”
Li Hong glanced at him and sneered, “You call a seventh-cla.s.s warrior a waste? How dare you!?”
Ding Zhang was immediately stunned.
A seventh-cla.s.s warrior?
She looked like a bean sprout! He thought she was a third-cla.s.s or fourth-cla.s.s warrior.
Li Hong walked up to Su Li and asked mildly, “What are you doing here?”
Su Li glanced at Ding Zhang, who wore a pale face, and chuckled, “Actually, it is not me who want to say something, but our captain. She came here last night, but she was stopped and asked for 10,000 jades by Ding Zhang.”
As soon as she said this, Ding Zhang’s face became paler, and he said angrily, “Bulls.h.i.+t! When did I do such a thing? You are slandering me!”
Su Li didn’t even look at him. She just stared at Li Hong and continued, “The witnesses are in a dark alley not far from the reception area. They shouldn’t wake up now. You can find them soon.”
When Li Hong heard this, he took a deep look at Ding Zhang, who was completely panicked, and then he said, “Let’s get inside to have a chat. Someone will deal with Ding Zhang.”
Su Li nodded and followed Li Hong into the door.
Ding Zhang’s eyes were blank and he slumped on the ground.
The architectural style of Chimo Circle was quite different from that of Qingshui Circle. Most of the buildings were ordinary lofts rather than halls. Even the Chief of Ma Camp lived in an ordinary loft.
Su Li followed Li Hong. Suddenly she raised her head and stared at his profile. She didn’t notice this person’s face until now…
“What’s your name?”
Li Hong was in a daze. He had never seen such a female warrior who was impolite to the elders. He thought she knew he was the King Warrior, but she didn’t show her respect. However, he was not a peac.o.c.kish person. Then he replied, “Li Hong.”
Su Li narrowed her eyes and transmitted the sound, “Is your Li the ‘Li’ of ‘Li Camp’?”
Tread!
Li Hong paused. He immediately took Su Li to his study and slammed the door.
He clutched Su Li’s shoulders tightly and looked nervous. “Are you a survivor back then?”
Su Li gently took his hands away. She turned around and looked at the study, while saying, “I was indeed rescued from Death Region, but the one who saved me doesn’t belong to your Li Camp.”
Li Hong was immediately disappointed, and he didn’t pay attention to the fact that Su Li, a seventh-cla.s.s warrior, could break free from his hand.
Anyway, he was a King Warrior. After taking a deep breath, he recovered his usual composure and asked, “What’s your important information?”
Su Li looked calm and uttered two words, “Corpse demon!”
Li Hong was shocked again, “Did you met it? You even come back alive?”
“Of course, some people died.”
Su Li said briefly. Li Hong did not continue to ask about that and he said directly, “I will take you to see the Chief!”
Su Li shook her head, “I said it just now. I just came here to try if I could come inside on behalf of our captain. I don’t know much about the details.”
“Then take me to see your captain.”
Li Hong frowned, “No one dares to stop him with me here!”
Su Li suddenly laughed and said meaningfully, “You are so lucky today.”
Li Hong’s heartbeat speeded up slightly, and his ident.i.ty was revealed by her. He always felt that every word this woman said was implying something.
“What do you want to say?”
“Follow me and you’ll know.”
Su Li turned and left. Li Hong took a light breath and followed her.
Ma Camp’s work efficiency was high. When Su Li came to the gate again, Ding Zhang was not here.
After a while, Li Qing and the others got together at the courtyard. Su Li didn’t stop, but Li Hong’s heartbeat was beating faster and faster. He was afraid that his guess was wrong and he…would disappoint again.
When Li Qing heard the sound of Su Li opening the door, she immediately came out of the house. She saw that there was another person next to Su Li, but she didn’t pay attention to him. She walked over with joy, “Nailed it?”
Su Li glanced at Li Hong, who was petrified. Then she smiled and nodded, “He is the King Warrior of this camp.”
“Great! King Warrior…”
Li Qing showed a relieved smile. She turned her head and was about to say something respectfully. When she saw his face clearly, she was surprised and in a daze. She just stared at Li Hong’s face, and her eyes gradually misted over.
Although this face was no longer full of vigorous but dripped with vicissitudes of life, and he got curly beard over his face, she still recognized him with a glance.
“Are you… Are you…? Am I dreaming?”
Li Qing said with a trembling voice. Li Hong hugged Li Qing without saying a word, and Li Qing nuzzled up against him. Only in this way… could he feel the reality at this moment.
Wu Rong and the others walked out and saw this scene with a blank expression.
“What’s the matter with our Captain?”
She couldn’t help but run to Su Li and asked in a low voice. Su Li shook her head, “Let’s leave first and let them chat alone.”
Wu Rong also felt that it was improper to look at them, pulling Li Dazhuang and Dai Hechun back to the room. Su Li also went back to her room. With the help of Li Hong, Li Qing could handle the next things alone. She didn’t have to show up.
After a while, Li Hong held Li Qing’s hand tightly with a smile. When they walked on the way to the Chief’s study, the warriors pa.s.sing by were all surprised when seeing them. Why did such a taciturn person smile broadly today?
“Qingling, you have suffered a lot all these years.”
The reunion of family members made Li Hong relaxed. “Your team member Su Li recognized me at a glance, because we look alike.”
Li Qingling nodded, “I wouldn’t have met you but for her. If I knew you were still alive, I would not have been wandering outside for so many years, and maybe we could meet soon…”
Li Qing was naturally a pseudonym. She just removed the word “ling” from her real name. When she had no relatives in the world, it didn’t matter what she was called. But since she met her brother, she switched to her real name.
“I just want to say if we meet, nothing else matters.”
“Um!”
The door of the Chief’s study was pushed open. They saw the chubby old man was waiting there. He smiled relievedly when he saw them, “The heaven helps those who help themselves, Li Hong… Then you won’t draw a long face all day long!”
Li Hong scratched his head. He was a little embarra.s.sed, “Uncle Ma, thank you for caring for me over the years…”
Li Qingling also recognized the old man and called him “Uncle Ma”.
“Oh, I haven’t heard you call me ‘Uncle Ma’ for many years. Don’t give me that. I don’t like it.”
The chubby old man waved his hand and turned to look at Li Qingling, “Qingling, it’s the best thing that you can come back alive. I heard you met a corpse demon?”
Li Qingling smiled and said solemnly, “Yes! I met it at northeast of Ma Camp. It’s not far away from here! The corpse demon in size of a man’s palm looked the same as an ordinary small corpse monster. It’s hard to distinguish them.”
The chubby old man nodded lightly. He got up and paced the floor slowly for a while. Then he asked, “Are the two King Warriors of two camps here?”
“Yes!”
Li Qingling couldn’t help being surprised, “Uncle Ma, have you already got the news?”
“Yes, but I don’t know the specific direction. Qingling, you come timely with your news.”
The chubby old man thought for a moment, and he stopped turning the beads in his hand, “Where did Jintian go? I need him to go to the temple and tell it to the Master of the circle!”
“Go to the temple?”
Li Hong’s expression suddenly changed. “It’s too far away! Even if Jintian has the Poisonous Man Hunting Insect, it will take him half a month to go there and back!”
“Let him go at once!”
The fat old man looked firm, “We have to plan for the worst situation, and no one knows if accidents will happen.”
Li Hong said seriously, “I see. I’m going to find him.”
Li Qingling blinked and she was confused.
Compared with Ma Camp, Li Camp had an extremely short history in Thousand Cities Camp. It only had a history of a few hundred years.
She just heard from his elder brother that the history of Ma Camp could be traced back to at least three thousand years ago, which meant that Uncle Ma was at least three thousand years old… He was so old in Chimo Circle.
However, in her eyes, there was no difference between Uncle Ma and ordinary old people.
Her elder brother Li Hong quickly became busy. Li Qingling realized that she could not help, so she had to go back to her residence. She planned to move to live with his elder brother after the crisis.
Su Li’s room door was closed tightly. She didn’t want to disturb Su Li, so she invited Wu Rong and the others and told them her origin, and then everyone was shocked.
It turned out that the captain who had been wandering outside with them for decades was actually a princess in Thousand Cities Camp.
“Wow! Your elder brother is a King Warrior and he knows the Chief of Ma Camp. We have another big backer!”
Wu Rong’s eyes brightened. Li Dazhuang scratched his head, wondering, “Why do you say another?”
He couldn’t figure it out, but he still giggled. The captain regarded him as a younger brother, which meant he suddenly had another elder brother who was a King Warrior. It was amazing!
This day was filled with the joy of reunion.
On this day, Ma Camp was still in peace and happiness. They didn’t see any bad omen. But Li Qingling felt that it was the calm before the storm.
