Lady Su’s Revenge

Su Li and Su Qingtan turned around, and the entire manor was silent. The sound of a falling pin could be heard.

“Bang!”

With a bang, expressions of guests in the crowed space in front of the manor gate were different, but the guests all got out of the way. Therefore, Su Li could see who was coming.

Four bruisers carried a huge black and shiny coffin and walked in solidly. The bang was the sound of the landing coffin.

A brother and sister followed behind the coffin. The young man was gentle and was wearing a smile. The young girl was exceedingly beautiful and looked quick-witted. They looked like the golden boy and jade girl.

However, they both laughed behind the coffin, which made people feel cold. It didn’t make people feel any warmth.

“They are the son and daughter of the Wu Family!”

“Only the Wu Family dares to send a coffin at the feast of the Ling Family!”

“This is the feast hosted by the emperor. First Master Wu does have the nerve!”

“Hiss! Keep quiet!”

“…”

It was Wu Jin. Su Qingtan immediately stood in front of Su Li. Wu Jin was not a dude, but a talented student of the College of Martial Arts in the National Academy. Su Li couldn’t control him based on her identity. Besides, Su Qingtan heard from Ling Qinglan that the person was a lecher. If he saw the Second Sister, it would definitely cause an unnecessary trouble!

Su Li leaned gently on Su Qingtan’s shoulder. She blinked her black eyes. It showed that she was meditating.

Wu Jin!

Su Li thought that she finally saw him in this life and didn’t know when he would be killed by her in this life.

Wu Jin did not pay attention to Su Li’s gaze. There were eight hundred even one thousand people who watched a drama in front of the manor. Therefore, too many people looked at him, and he could not distinguish all of them.

“OK. Put it down here!”

Wu Jin gave an order and the four bruisers immediately threw the coffin. The coffin was extremely heavy. It fell onto the ground and made a loud sound. Ling Ping got the news and appeared in front of the lobby. When he saw the black wood coffin, he looked very sullen.

“Wu Jin, do you really think that I dare not punish you because General Wu protects you?”

Ling Ping said angrily and then a burst of anger spread. The anger was the intention to kill which formed on the battlefield when he killed the enemy.

The guests who were close to him were shocked by his anger and looked pale in an instant. They backed far away from him in fear. Su Li was also dragged into the crowd by Su Qingtan. Then a spacious space occurred.

Wu Jin stood in the breach. He looked pale, but he was not flustered. Instead, he gave a fist and palm salute and said, “Why are you so angry? I spent three days in thinking of the gift. “Guancai” (coffin) implied the official position (Guan) and wealth (Cai)! It stands for fame and fortune. I use it to congratulate you on your promotion. Am I wrong?”

Then the young girl hiding behind him immediately said, “What my brother said is right! Second Master Ling, my brother’s intention is good. Even the emperor will think my brother is right. Your fierce anger made my brother and I feel disappointed!”

Her clear voice as an oriole and perfect delicate face actually made the atmosphere less tense. Many of the guests praised her inwardly when they saw the scene.

“Wu Xiuxiu! She deserves the title of the former most beautiful girl in Yunjing City!”

“Unfortunately, Su Li came to Yunjing City. I heard that Su Li is really a fairy. Although Wu Xiuxiu is beautiful, she is just an ordinary person. Therefore, she is no match for Su Li!”

Perhaps the last sentence was uttered in a higher voice. Wu Xiuxiu instantly turned back and looked at the group of guests who were whispering. She looked quite sullen and annoyed.

Could this be heard?

The guests shrank their necks and didn’t dare to speak.

At this time, Ling Ping restrained his anger and looked calm. But he said in a cold voice, “I am aware of your kindness. Please take the coffin back. Our Ling Family doesn’t need it.”

Wu Jin clapped his hands when hearing what Ling Ping said. He sighed with a regretful expression, “What can I do? In order to give you the coffin, I inquired about your height and size. The coffin is tailored for you. It is not suitable for others.”

People became quiet again. Many of them felt astounded because Wu Jin clearly cursed Ling Ping to death! If they encountered such a malicious congratulation, they could have stamped with fury.

Ling Ping took a deep breath and looked expressionless. Then he pointed at the gate of the manor and said, “I don’t fuss about the coffin with you for the emperor’s sake. But if you dare to say something offensive. Even if the emperor blames me, I’m going to kill you here!”

Wu Jin’s eyes narrowed. He laughed and said, “Don’t be angry. Since you don’t welcome me, I will leave. However, the coffin…”

Bang!

Then Ling Ping waved his palm in the air, and the wind blew against Wu Jin’s face, which made the latter feel the pain. Finally, the wind fell onto the coffin, and the coffin made of solid wood instantly became scattered sawdust. This scene made Wu Xiuxiu scream.

Wu Jin covered his reddish right face and looked pale.

Ling Ping smiled and revealed his white teeth. He said, “The slap is used to teach you a lesson for your father. Remember the slap. Don’t let you father experience the tragedy of losing young loved ones. It is very pitiful.”

Wu Jin looked even fiercer when hearing Ling Ping’s words. But the expression disappeared very quickly. He smiled and said respectably, “Thank you for your advice. Today, since you do not welcome us, we will leave.”

Then Wu Jin turned away.

“Brother, wait for me.”

Wu Xiuxiu caught up with her brother with hatred. Before she left, she glanced at the guests and saw Su Li behind Su Qingtan coincidentally. Su Li’s face… was really more beautiful than hers!

In just a glance, Wu Xiuxiu couldn’t help but feel panic. It seemed that there was a voice inside telling her that the person was her top enemy and must be eradicated as soon as possible!

“Wu Xiuxiu, your Eldest Brother has left. Will you stay to attend my feast?”

Suddenly, Ling Ping’s words came from behind. Wu Xiuxiu’s body trembled. Since she didn’t have time to think too much, she immediately turned back and chased Wu Jin, who had already gone.

The feast returned to normal, but the atmosphere was no longer lively. Everyone in the feast talked about the struggle between the Ling Family and Wu Family. The feast was not a matchmaking event at all.

In addition, although the Ling Family had Ling Ping as a backbone, it couldn’t compete with the flourishing Wu Family at all. After carefully considering the situation of the two families, many daughters from prestigious families instantly had no intention of playing up to the Ling Family.

Ling Ping had never thought about getting married and having children, and his expression was normal. After drinking with people for a while, he went to the inner hall, as if there were important guests.

“It must be Lord Chen Gong.”

Su Qingtan looked disappointed. Ling Qinglan were right, but he did not say that Su Qingtan had no right to go into the inner hall to meet his idol. He attended the feast in vain.

“Eldest Brother, don’t be discouraged. Since the lord is your idol, he must have a noble character. If you are predestined to meet in the future, you will meet and talk with each other.”

Su Li comforted her brother in a gentle voice. Su Qingtan couldn’t help but laugh when hearing Su Li’s words, “You naughty girl, you don’t know who Lord Chen Gong is, do you? He is a noble person, but it’s difficult to get along with him. I just want to see him far away. As for talking to him, forget it.”

Su Li responded and didn’t say much. She became more and more curious about who Chen Gong was.

The feast ended in the middle of the night.

Su Qingtan returned home with regret and did not see Chen Gong come out of the gate of the manor.

The next morning, Su Li came to the Affiliated School of the National Academy while there was still no one in the Affiliated School. In fact, as a lecturer in the Affiliated School, she could order the National Academy to inform the families of driving the dudes out of the academy if they didn’t show up. But she didn’t.

She was not the senior fellow apprentice and didn’t have so many new drugs experimented. When those dudes didn’t come, she could enjoy peace and quiet. She could hide in the Alchemy Room of the Affiliated School to refine spiritual medicine and cultivate vital energy. How comfortable she was! There was no need for her to ask for trouble.

“So many days passed. Why haven’t Fang Yuan and others entered the town?”

Su Li slightly frowned. Plus the time spent on the road, it had been a month. Fang Yuan and others didn’t have the encumbrance of the carriage of the Su Family. At top speed, it couldn’t take them too much time to come to Yunjing. Why hadn’t they arrived?

Although it was strange, Su Li did not worry too much. She had told Fang Yuan and two others about the Hehuan Sect. If they were still killed by the Hehuan Sect, it was their destiny. They shouldn’t blame others.

After a day of meditation, Su Li went home as usual. The sunset glow was shining brilliantly on the street and it was really enjoyable.

“There are less people on the street…”

Su Li lifted the curtain and looked out.

Instantly!

The carriage shook and it speeded up and drove into a dark alley. Su Li had noticed it earlier and immediately jumped out of the window. She rolled on the ground for a while and hadn’t stand stably.

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

Six arrow shots from hiding came from different directions and all the angles of dodge were unavailable in a blink of an eye.

Su Li narrowed her eyes and a dagger slipped from her sleeve. She waved the dagger to shield off three of them. Then she immediately jumped out and fled deeper down the alley.

At the same time, the inborn psychic awareness scattered quietly like mercury, and the nine killers in the dark immediately had nowhere to hide.

Nine seniors in the acquired ninth hurdle!

With her cultivation, it was very easy for her to kill them, but she couldn’t do this. She was not sure if there was someone else watching the scene. If she killed them personally, she could expose her exact details. That was really dangerous.

The head of the killers hiding outside the street saw Su Li flee into the alley and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

Although the little silly girl had the cultivation of the acquired eighth hurdle, she had little experience of meeting an enemy attack. She took the initiative to escape to a place with few people and it helped them a lot.

Whiz!

With this in mind, the head of the killers waved his hand. The other eight killers immediately took action and scurried in the dark alley. They were ready to kill.

Under the inborn psychic awareness, Su Li knew the terrain very well. Every time she detected the arrival of the killers, she avoided them in advance. She saw the nine killers run like chaotic flies in the alley, but she didn’t feel happy.

She noticed that the alley had a simple structure with only eight exits. If a group of killers searched carefully, they were sure to find her.

What could she do?

Suddenly, in Su Li’s psychic awareness, another person appeared in the corner of the dark alley. There were no masked killers in black around. The person looked more than forty years old. The blue cloth gown was very shabby. A piece of his gown was torn off and covered on his face. It was obvious that he just came in the dark alley and masked himself. He was not a member of the nine people.

“What happened?”

Su Li slightly frowned and clearly saw that the person’s cultivation reached the peak of the acquired hurdle. It was impossible that he didn’t notice the danger here. Why did he go into the alley and put himself in danger?

Seeing that the person was getting closer and closer to her hiding place, Su Li only thought for a moment, and then she took the initiative to breathe loudly.

Sure enough, the person heard the breath and looked happy. He immediately came to Su Li.

Su Li looked cold, and quietly held the hilt of the dagger…
