Chapter 186 - Moyin
Chapter 186 Moyin
Seeing Ling Li’s action, Ling Qinglan was more puzzled. Ling Li stood to lose definitely. But why was he so eager to go there?
Ling Qinglan raised his eyebrows and went outside. He grabbed Ling Mo who was about to leave and asked in a deep voice, “What’s the relationship between Ling Li and Su Li?”
“I don’t know clearly.”
Ling Mo answered with no expression. Ling Qinglan was quite disappointed. But Ling Mo returned after a few steps and whispered, “Both the master and I were once saved by Miss Su Li. The master owes Miss Su Li... more.”
“I get it.”
Ling Qinglan said thoughtfully. He knew why Ling Li had never planned to get back at Su Li even if he was bullied by her in many ways.
“Ling Mo, go quickly!”
An angry voice came from the room. Ling Mo got a fright and left quickly, but he smiled secretly.
In the Affiliated School of the National Academy,
Su Li played the poisonous insect “Sound Acquaintance” with her right hand and cupped her chin with the right hand. She was in a trance.
She used up most of the rare herbs that were stored in the underground adytum and barely refined an antidote of the Lijue Pill. There were few herbs now. Su Li didn’t know when she could collect so many precious herbs and thought that she should use herbs sparingly when she practiced later.
During this time, her cultivation advanced rapidly. It all depended on the enough herbs that her senior fellow apprentice left. The adjuvant herbs she used were all superb, so she had reached the inborn seventh hurdle in just a few months!
Although her cultivation was much worse than the inborn peak ninth hurdle, her explosive power wasn’t worse than that of those in the inborn ninth hurdle with the help of the Ao Sword Skills. The only disadvantage was that she couldn’t use movements of the Ao Sword Skills persistently. If she was attacked by the power that was equal to killing the eight seniors in the inborn realm, she could only use three movements with the support of genuine energy.
However, Su Li was quite satisfied because the fighting capacity of the inborn ninth hurdle was enough for her to stand firm in Yunjing City.
Rustle!
At this moment, Su Li looked cautious suddenly. A shadow flashed into the room. Su Li saw a plain middle-aged person, but the person’s cultivation reached to the inborn realm.
The middle-aged person saw Su Li and half kneeled without saying anything. Then the person presented an invitation respectfully.
Su Li saw the person’s dressing style and showed an expression of dawning comprehension.
The person was from the Shalou Cult.
Killers from the Shalou Cult were plain in appearance and people could hardly perceive their identities. But they had a characteristic. Su Li’s husband in the previous life once said that every killer of the Shalou Cult had an unimpressive sign in his root of the ear, and that the sign could be seen only when the person practiced the exclusive secret eye method of the Shalou Cult.
Thinking of this, Su Li waved and the invitation flew into her hand. The middle-aged person said nothing and disappeared in the form of shadow immediately.
Su Li went to the underground adytum for safety’s sake and opened the letter. Then a map and a token fell into her hands. She opened the map and really saw a sign on it. The map was the appearance of Yunjing City. The marked place was actually a whole street?
Su Li raised her eyebrows and guessed that Ling Li asked her to cure Ling Qinglan. Why did he give her the map? She turned over the map and saw Ling Li’s handwriting. “I need to consult you about something. Let’s meet at the end of the street at dusk.”
Su Li burned the letter to ashes and there was a sparkle in her eyes. She wanted to know what Ling Li wanted to do.
...
The sun had already set.
The red clouds at dusk were like the fire that burned the half sky. People were gilded under the shine of the red clouds. Su Li’s white dress was shined into golden-red one. She walked along the unknown street. Her hair was like a waterfall, which was extremely beautiful and eye-catching.
The street was quite ordinary. There was the noise of vendors’ hawking, and common people came and went... But a juvenile who wore a jade mask stood near a vendor in the street and looked at Su Li quietly. The juvenile had waited for her for a long time.
Su Li saw Ling Li in the crowd. She smiled and thought of the scene when she saw him for the first time in this life. But even if they were predetermined by fate, she and Ling Li couldn’t...
Su Li’s smile faded. She walked towards Ling Li and asked coldly, “The hierarch stands in the street... Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by people of Dahan Country?”
Ling Li grinned slightly and replied calmly, “Does Miss Su know the place?”
Su Li raised her eyebrows and replied with an expression of nonchalance, “I would like to know the details.”
“So...”
Ling Li grabbed Su Li’s hand suddenly and rushed into the crowed under pedestrians’ shocked gaze. They were... more eye-catching.
Su Li’s fingertips trembled slightly when Ling Li touched her, but she showed an angry expression. She asked unbelievably, “Are you crazy?”
Ling Li wasn’t in a panic, but laughed and asked, “A true hermit lives in the city. Do you know the meaning of the sentence?”
Ah?
Su Li didn’t have time to think carefully. After a short while, she was pulled to the middle of the street which was the busiest place. There were people who played acrobatics, sold tea and made sugar-molded figures here.
Ling Li took a sugar-molded figure from a vendor and handed it to Su Li.
Su Li frowned. Before she asked, the craftsman stood up suddenly and saluted to Ling Li, “Your Excellency!”
Then, the craftsman started selling sugar-molded figures again as if that was only an ordinary greeting. Then... A butcher put down his knife and threw his head back, laughing, “Your Excellency!”
“Your Excellency!”
A man who played acrobatics jumped down with a monkey and saluted respectfully.
“Your Excellency!”
Whey they passed by a scholar and a bookseller near the bookstall, the scholar and the bookseller put down books in their hands simultaneously and turned around to salute.
“Your Excellency!”
Even when they passed by a pedestrian, the pedestrian would stop immediately and turn around to salute.
“Your Excellency!”
“Your Excellency!”
“Your Excellency!”
“Best wishes to Your Excellency!”
Ling Li who wore a jade mask smiled evilly and said, “You asked me if I was afraid of being discovered by others. Have you ever seen that a master is afraid when he goes to his own home? This... is my territory!”
The maple leaves on both sides of the street fell down like a flying red butterfly. Su Li took a deep breath. At this moment, she almost forgot to breathe. She had never seen that Ling Li was so high-spirited and vigorous!
Su Li followed Ling Li until they arrived at a mansion which was located in the remote corner of the street. She composed herself and various ideas occurred in her mind.
Moyin, the head office of the Yinmo Cult actually hid in a street of Yunjing City!
She heard in the previous life that the head office of the Yinmo Cult was called Moyin. But at that time, the Yinmo Cult had been ruined and the head office couldn’t be found.
The senior of the inborn realm of the Yinmo Cult could truly live like ordinary people... The head office of the Yinmo Cult had many seniors who mastered the Doctrine of Secular World, so the power couldn’t be underestimated.
Although the Doctrine of Secular World was difficult, one’s Xuangong would be progressed quickly if he had talent. Xuan Jingzhou and his wife were typical. They were less than forty, but their cultivation had reached the inborn supremacy.
However, the disciples of the head office, the essence of the evil cult, should actually be principled seniors of the Doctrine of Secular World. That was really surprising.
When Su Li was thinking, Ling Li had taken off his mask and prepared tea for Su Li personally.
“Miss Su, have some tea please.”
Ling Li motioned Su Li with his right hand to sit down and then sat opposite Su Li. He didn’t know how to speak. After all, he had an agreement with Su Li. Now, he hadn’t got the Full Moon and Heart Strings yet, but he wanted to ask Su Li to save Ling Qinglan first. It was really against their agreement...
At this time, Su Li said suddenly, “Mr. Li told me the details. Since Ling Qinglan won’t hold out till the day of the auction, and I have gotten the branch of the Kurong tree, I could detoxify the poison for him first. But...”
Ling Li was relieved at first. But when he heard “but”, he was nervous. He knew that Su Li wasn’t a girl who was willing to suffer losses.
“But what?”
Ling Qinglan couldn’t help walking out from the room and asked in a deep voice, “Miss Su, it is I that get poisoned. If Miss Su wants to punish, please punish me.”
Su Li turned to stare at Ling Qinglan, which made the latter tremble slightly. She said, “You ask my Eldest Brother to practice the strange practice method. I haven’t got even with you yet. Do you still want to help others?”
Hearing that, Ling Qinglan was stunned. Was the relationship between Su Li and that “Mr. Li” so intimated? He should tell Su Li the thing about Su Qingtan.
However, it was normal. Ling Qinglan couldn’t find other reasons to explain why he suppressed Su Qingtan’s devils inside with the ice toxin. After all, the ice toxin had no benefits except restraining the Qiyu Xuangong which was also evil.
Thinking of this, Ling Qinglan had to leave silently. He couldn’t make trouble for Ling Li again.
Ling Li asked angrily, “What do you want this time?”
He didn’t hesitate to expose the head office for her and treated her as a believable girl. But why did she treat him so coldly?
Did she still think that he mistook her for Ling Xue? Was she still angry?
Or last time... he accidentally kissed her.
“Your Excellency, did you remember that you owed me a favor on the way to the hunting ground a few days ago?”
Su Li smiled foxily and continued saying, “I know that you have a big household. So, you can’t return me with many benefits at a time. You must remember that you owe me two favors now. At some point in the future, you should do two things for me unconditionally without violating the teachings of the Yinmo Cult. As long as you promise, I will cure Ling Qinglan immediately.
Her request was the same as before!
Ling Li couldn’t think of the reason for the rebuttal. Su Li’s request was too vague, so he thought that she was plotting a sinister trick. But now, the most important thing was to detoxify Ling Qinglan’s toxin.
“Miss Su, are you serious?”
“I am serious!”
“Okay, that’s it! I, Ling Li, owe Miss Su Li two requests in this life. I won’t forget my promise until you tell me your requests!”
An hour later...
Ling Li scowled and looked at Su Li who cupped the ice crystal branch. He asked unbelievably, “Is that all?”
From beginning to end, Ling Li only saw Su Li put the branch of the Kurong tree on the location of Ling Qinglan’s pubic region. Then... there was nothing else.
Ling Li had a sense of suffering losses in business. If he had known that it was so easy to detoxify Ling Qinglan’s ice toxin, he wouldn’t have invited Su Li here. Now he actually owed her another favor!
But Ling Qinglan who was between them had no time to consider Ling Li’s feelings.
After Ling Qinglan saw that the dry branch produced ice crystals gradually during the hour, his eyes were moist. He felt that he was more relaxed and could feel clearly that the ice toxin that had troubled him over ten years was leaving away from his body at a rapid speed.
“Dad! Mom!”
“I can live again!”
“Believe me! I will find the real murderer of the case that year!”
“You saw that I just put the branch on Ling Qinglan’s abdomen. Do you think it is quite easy? If you do this, you can’t drive the ice toxin out of his body. It needs techniques and secret methods. One who has no real skills of the medical circle can’t do that.”
Su Li talked nonsense, which made Ling Li feel better.
In fact, the preparations for curing ice toxin had been finished when she was in the Linli Building. And now she could only finish the last step with the Kurong tree. The energy and medicinal materials Su Li had consumed were beyond Ling Li’s imagination.
However, Su Li didn’t tell Ling Li about those.
In this life, she just wanted to stand in the dark and watched Ling Li realize his wish quietly. She didn’t want to destroy the image of her husband in heart. Even if she knew that she couldn’t see that innocent juvenile any more, she didn’t want him to be... the man in the previous life.
He should be the crownless king who shined with radiance and spirit and shouldn’t be the husband of an ordinary and disfigured woman...
