Chapter 218 - The Brother and Sister of the Wei Family
Chapter 218 The Brother and Sister of the Wei Family
On the next day, the emperor of Dahan Country, Dongfang Xiao, had an interview with princes from the two countries. According to the officials in the imperial court, the two princes took many novel gifts. The atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was harmonious and the emperor was very happy.
In particular, the little robot brought by the prince of Tianji Country could write. Although it could only write some greetings, it was really amazing.
The news quickly spread in Yunjing City. Su Li was in the Affiliated School. Mammy Li heard a lot and she told all she heard to Su Li. But she didn’t know that Su Li had already got more detailed intelligence from Qu Lu.
The trees were luxuriant outside, and the sandalwood smoke inside curled upwards. It was so quiet.
Su Li destroyed the files with one hand and squinted. She was lost in thought.
After finishing her cultivation in her previous life, she returned to Dahan Country and focused on revenge. Except for investigating the origin of her disabled husband, she didn’t care about other things. She didn’t make contact with Nanjiang Country or Tianji Country.
However, whether the two princes came for the Full Moon and Heart Strings or not, she must know the exact details of them, especially the exact details of the Wei Family… If she guessed correctly, the Wei Family was Fang Yuan and others’ enemy.
She wouldn’t mind collecting some interest for Fang Yuan and others during the Auction Fair approaching.
And the Wanjian Sect…
Su Li rubbed her glabella and couldn’t help but get a headache. Wen Tingshan studied an excellent disguise skill. He could disguise others and even an extremity warrior of the inborn realm couldn’t see though. It was convenient for the Linli Building.
But he couldn’t disguise himself. What’s more, disguise skill or Appearance Disguising Pills didn’t have any effects on his face.
There was a Wen Tingshan’s weakness held by the Wanjian Sect. His breaths were still in the sect. So, his whereabouts could be tracked with secret method. Although the secret method covered lots of things, it wouldn’t spend lots of time to investigate a man in Yunjing City if the Wanjian Sect and the Dongfang Family cooperated with each other. Because Wen Tingshan couldn’t disguise himself and it was his drawback.
She had set up a tactical matrix around Wen Tingshan’s room to prevent his breaths from leaking. However, it was a temporary expedient. She needed to think about another method to solve the matter.
After having breakfast, Su Li went out the yard and entered the real National Academy with the books that she borrowed from the National Book Tower.
The National Academy and the Affiliated School of the National Academy were separated by a wall. There was no guard and therefore she didn’t have to show her jade token. It was the time of morning class. She heard the cadence of reading sound and shouts from people who were practicing martial arts. Su Li gazed into the distance and she saw the young warriors who just started school sweating profusely in the martial arts field.
Then, she went to the National Book Tower. The avenue was desolate. At this time, except for the lectures who was resting in the National Academy, nobody went to the National Book Tower. After the old and arrogant gatekeeper checked her jade token, he let her pass as usual.
After she accepted Dongfang Rui as her father, the entire National Book Tower was open for her. She could even look through the Xuangong Mental Method which was treasured by the top class of the National Academy. She also could enter the study of the Dongfang Family in the Imperial Palace. There was the real precious martial arts of the Dongfang Family.
Although Su Li wanted to see it, she also feared the force behind Dongfang Xiao. It was unwise to rush to the study of the Dongfang Family. She didn’t think that after Dongfang Xiao knew her exact details, he would be lenient to her because she was his niece.
As soon as Su Li entered the National Book Tower, two men and one woman came.
The First Prince, Dongfang Sheng, led the way. He smiled with the dignity of the eldest prince and talked with other two people happily. When they came to the National Book Tower, he said with a smile,
“Brother Youran, this is the sacred place of our National Academy, National Book Tower!”
The man who was called brother by Dongfang Sheng was handsome but feminine. Although he smiled gently, he reminded people of the word “viper”.
He looked up and down and nodded with praise, “It is really a magnificent building. Brother Sheng, can you take me and my sister to have a look?”
This person was the Second Prince of Nanjiang Country, Wei Youran!
The girl who was charming and barbaric beside him was Wei Youran’s sister, Wei Zhenzhen. She was also the imperial heir of the empress.
“Of course!”
Wei Youran was polite. Dongfang Sheng felt happy and immediately led them to the National Book Tower.
Dongfang Sheng was the eldest son of the Dongfang Family and he was the most orthodox imperial heir. The old gatekeeper didn’t dare to neglect and he immediately let them pass. His attitude toward them was different from that he had towards Su Li.
The old gatekeeper’s performance made Dongfang Sheng joyful. If he could treat the brother and sister well, this was also his achievement that he could satisfy his father more or less.
In fact, he wanted to receive the prince of Tianji Country originally. After all, the prince of Tianji Country pleased the emperor much more than Nanjiang Country’s prince. Unfortunately, Tianji Country’s prince disappeared after they went out the Imperial Palace. He looked for him for a long time but he didn’t find him. In the end, he had to take the second best.
After they entered the National Book Tower, Wei Zhenzhen who walked in the back whispered with a low voice,
“It is not a magnificent building. It was just made of bricks and stones. It’s a place where the dead live. It’s really unlucky…”
Dongfang Sheng did not hear Wei Zhenzhen’s words. At this moment when he entered the National Book Tower, he saw Su Li who was going upstairs. His eyes brightened up and he chased her. He shouted, “Sister Li, please wait!”
Su Li frowned slightly. As soon as she noticed that someone was coming, she quickly went upstairs to hide. But she didn’t expect that she was found anyway. She could only go downstairs and gave a salute in front of Dongfang Sheng. She said politely, “Your Majesty.”
Su Li didn’t wear make-up today. She made her appearance commonplace with the method in Nothing Unusual. However, her skin was white and flawless. It was as soft as a baby’s face. Her delicate five sense organs set off a sense of dreamlike quality. She had the clean and comfortable temperament with several books in her arms.
Wei Youran looked at her several times. Every time he looked at her, he was more surprised.
Did such a clean and pretty girl like lotus exist in the world?
Wei Zhenzhen touched her face subconsciously and she was jealous. She didn’t want to admit that this girl’s skin was better than hers!
How did Su Li take care of her skin? She must get her method!
Dongfang Sheng smiled gently and pretended to say affectionately, “Sister Li, you don’t have to do that. You’re the daughter of Eighth Uncle and my younger cousin. If Eighth Uncle knows that you gave me such a big salute, he will scold me.”
Su Li chuckled and her crystal-clear eyes blinked. She said, “It was my fault. What’s the matter?”
Knowing that Su Li was joking, Dongfang Sheng was relaxed and quickly introduced them to each other.
However, he was still worried inside. The matter of the Hehuan Sect… would be exposed one day. How would the Eighth Lord treat him?
However, if he could give a good impression to Su Li before the Eighth Lord knew it, the Eighth Lord might forgive him. It was also the reason why he called Su Li.
“It turned out that you are Princess Li. I am Wei Youran from Nanjiang Country. She is my sister Wei Zhenzhen. Nice to meet you!” Wei Youran smiled and he was polite like a gentleman.
“You are so polite, Your Majesty.” Su Li replied with a gentle smile.
Then, Su Li was invited to visit the National Academy with them. On the surface, they talked happily and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Wei Zhenzhen asked Su Li about how she take care of her skin. After Su Li said “it was inborn”, Wei Zhenzhen clearly didn’t believe it. Her eyes were rolling all the time. No one knew what she was thinking.
Wei Youran made an apology to Su Li for Wei Zhenzhen. However, he didn’t know that Su Li had seen through their exact details.
Wei Youran reached the acquired ninth hurdle.
Wei Zhenzhen was an extremity warrior of the acquired realm.
The cultivation of the brother and sister definitely came first in Dahan Country! On the Autumn Hunting Contest, Su Li saw three princes’ cultivation. The Fifth Prince Dongfang Yang’s cultivation was the highest, which was the acquired seventh hurdle.
Dongfang Lang and Dongfang Sheng paid much attention to calculation. It delayed their practice. They reached the acquired sixth hurdle, but it was lower than Dongfang Yang’s cultivation.
People’s cultivation in Nanjiang Country was so much higher than that of Dahan Country?
However, if Wei Zhenzhen got the Full Moon and Heart Strings, she might dominate the martial arts circle and stabilize the situation…
Su Li was lost in thought secretly. Suddenly, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at Wei Youran coldly. She was familiar with the cold breaths of him. She recalled someone who she remembered deeply in her mind for a long time.
