Chapter 271 - Spiritual Realm
Chapter 271 Spiritual Realm
“Mom, Grandma, have some tea.”
In the central room, Qiu Meng and Mrs. Gu looked at Su Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and then took the tea. Their eyes flashed with love to her, especially Qiu Meng. She really liked Su Li.
“One is Ling Li, and the other is Su Li. I don’t know how to call you. Su Li, since you are willing to marry my grandson, we won’t treat you badly and you can have our family property.”
When she said, she took out a stack of shop deeds. It seemed that she would give some family property to Su Li completely.
Su Li was stunned. Then she waved her hand and said, “Grandma, I’ve just got married. How can I get it? If you really want to do so, you can give it to my husband.”
Hearing it, both Mrs. Gu and Qiu Meng were stunned, especially Qiu Meng, who was deeply moved.
The shop deeds that Mrs. Gu took out were valuable. They accounted for almost a quarter of Ling Family’s property. Even if they gave it to Lord Rui, it was attractive for him, but Su Li refused them without hesitation.
Su Li really liked her son.
Mrs. Gu was also satisfied. She was determined to give up a quarter of her family property to Ling Li and let Lord Rui be satisfied, but it was also a test.
If Su Li happily accepted it immediately, she would look down upon her, but from the moment Su Li refused them, she had really regarded Su Li as family.
“All right, stand up.”
Qiu Meng couldn’t help holding Su Li up. She held Su Li and said, “The breakfast is ready. Your grandma did it by herself. She hasn’t cooked for many years…”
Ling Li looked helplessly at Su Li being pulled away by his mother. Just one day after his marriage, his status at home wasn’t much better than that of ordinary servants.
“If Mom knows that it’s just a play between Su Li and me…”
Ling Li sighed secretly and didn’t dare to think about it.
“Li.”
After Qiu Meng and Su Li left, there were only two people in the room. The voice was from Mrs. Gu, Gu Yan. Ling Li turned his head and said, “What’s wrong, Grandma?”
Gu Yan was serious, and her voice sounded a little cold, with a hint of decisiveness at the young age. “Su Li is a nice girl, so you can’t let her down. In the past, because you were young and didn’t get married, I didn’t discipline you at all. But now you have a family… Our Ling Family cares about sincerity. If you dare to go brothels again, I won’t recognize you as my grandson!”
What Gu Yan said was so serious that Ling Li couldn’t help being a little moved.
Although what he did before on purpose often made Grandma angry, she never became so serious.
He grinned, turned his wheelchair to get close to Gu Yan, and said with a smile, “I’ll keep it in mind. Don’t be angry, Grandma. They went to have meals. Let’s go too.”
Seeing Ling Li’s response, Gu Yan clearly knew that he didn’t pay attention to her words. There was a trace of disappointment in her eyes. She shook her head and walked to the table, but she didn’t see that Ling Li was following her and was very serious.
Every word he said was true.
The breakfast of Ling Family was varied, and the four people had a good time together. Su Li acted naturally, without any flaw seen by Qiu Meng and Mrs. Gu.
Ling Li ate dishes silently but felt very bitter. These dishes were picked up by Su Li. He understood that Su Li was acting. As long as they were alone, she wouldn’t act like this. But he couldn’t help hoping. If everything had been true, it would have been better.
After supper, Su Li naturally followed Ling Li back to the East Courtyard. Ling Li had always been staying at home for more than half a year. It was said that he had changed his lechery for Su Li, so nobody found the difference.
When they returned to the East Courtyard, they happened to meet the maids cleaning up the room. Ling Li glanced over and planned to go to the study, but at a glance, he saw that a maid opened the soft cloth on the bed, took out a piece of white cloth dyed with a little red, and left in a hurry.
“What’s that?”
Ling Li was slightly shocked and thought of something quickly, but before he reacted, he found that his right arm was being held by someone and dragged to the other side. At the same time, Su Li whispered in his ear, “Honey, aren’t you going to show me the collection in the study today? What are you waiting for?”
When his right arm touched the soft part, Ling Li was a little confused and was dragged away by Su Li immediately. It made their maids envy very much, “Master and Mistress are always together. They’re affectionate…”
At this time, the so-called affectionate couple came to the study and immediately separated. The atmosphere was gradually embarrassing.
Ling Li frowned and couldn’t help asking, “That red… What happened?”
Although he hadn’t consummated the relationship in the past life and this life, he still knew the secret between men and women even if he hadn’t tried because of the developed information on the earth.
Last night, they hadn’t consummated the marriage. How could the cloth be red?!
Su Li, with a cold look, turned her back as if she was looking at the collection of books in the room. “Without it, how can others believe us? It’s just a little blood. Forget it.”
Ling Li was annoyed when he heard this. With a serious look, he stood up directly from the wheelchair and pulled Su Li’s right arm to tear open her sleeve. How powerful was a warrior of the inborn realm? Then Su Li’s right sleeve was broken completely, and a fresh was revealed. The wound should be made yesterday.
“Such a deep wound, don’t you deal with it?!”
Ling Li finally knew where the red came from. He was angry and distressed. When he was about to use genuine energy to cure her injury, he was forced away by Su Li. Her words were so cold like a knife.
“You don’t have to be so hypocritical! As I have said, we should not interfere with each other in addition to facing outsiders. You’re busy as Hierarch, so I will stop nagging and come back in the evening.”
After that, Su Li directly opened the tunnel mechanism in the room, jumped down and disappeared.
Ling Li stood alone on the edge of the tunnel. After a while, he raised his head. His handsome face became dignified, “Li was in the inborn ninth hurdle. Why hasn’t she healed herself after a night…”
Since they met, every word of Su Li made his heart ache, but he didn’t complain at all, and he was still worried about her safety. But no one knew his thoughts except himself.
In the Linli Building…
On the first day after Su Li’s marriage, the gate of the Linli Building was closed. It was actually out of business.
In the underground adytum, all key members of the Linli Building sat in a group, even including Wen Tingshan.
“Su Li is forced to marry into the Ling Mansion. This matter is urgent, and no one knows what Su Li thinks about. What shall we do in the future?”
Qu Qingning sighed and spoke out the confusion in everyone’s heart.
Fang Yuan looked up at him. He pondered, without any words.
“The Yinmo Cult killed my Junior Sister Apprentice. Su Li can’t be willing to marry into Ling Mansion. Now it’s just a temporary expedient. What are you worried about?”
Wen Tingshan gave a cold snort. Although he had the least contact with Su Li, he was confident that he knew her mind.
“Ling Li is Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult. Now Su Li has married him. We are worried about her safety and don’t know when we will see her again…”
Fang Mu said slowly. Both Yin Xuetong and Mei Ruohan were upset. As women, they could understand Su Li better. At this moment, she must be very uncomfortable, but she couldn’t tell Dongfang Rui about all this and could only bear it by herself.
“What are you talking about?”
Suddenly, the gate of the adytum was opened, and a figure in white appeared in front of all the people without any sign, which made others shocked.
“Su Li!”
“Su Li?!”
Fang Yuan trembled and looked back incredulously. On the morning of the first day after the marriage, Su Li came here above board?
“Why do you look so surprised?”
Su Li sat down expressionlessly, poured a cup of tea for herself, and said indifferently, “Marrying into Ling Family is just a temporary expedient. There is no possibility between Ling Li and me. I just use him this time.”
“But… but…”
Yin Xuetong stuttered while looking at the lower part of Su Li. Her face was red, and the implication was so obvious.
Su Li reacted calmly. She just slightly shook her head, “It is just for the cooperation. How can I consummate the marriage?”
Qu Qingning and others coughed twice as soon as they heard it. Although Su Li was open-minded and didn’t care about it, the men were embarrassed to hear such explicit words.
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt that the situation was more serious. Su Li made use of Ling Li’s love for her to stay in the Ling Mansion. But if it lasted for a long time, and they would get along with each other day and night, they maybe…
He clearly knew that Su Li liked Ling Li very much without that matter.
Thinking of it, he was a little relieved and changed the topic, “What should we do next?”
Su Li gently raised her eyebrows and tapped the table with her fingers. Then she looked at Wen Tingshan, who was silent, and said, “The urgent matter is to clear the worries behind us. How about the search for men of the Wanjian Sect?
Yin Xuetong shook her head and said disappointedly, “We have cooperated with the Yinmo Cult, but we still can’t find any clues about men of the Wanjian Sect. There is a great possibility that they have left.”
“Is it…”
Su Li didn’t show her attitude and thought of something, “They are not protected by the royal family, but can avoid the search of the Yinmo Cult and me. If they are still in Yunjing City, there is only one place to go…”
“Where can they go?”
Qu Qingning frowned. He tried his best but still couldn’t think of the place for them to hide. But Wen Tingshan suddenly changed his look at the moment, “You mean…”
Su Li sneered, “Spiritual Realm! The Spiritual Realm never paid attention to the worldly affairs. When did it begin to deal with sect disputes? Uncle Shan, it seemed that those who chased to kill you were more difficult to deal with than I thought.”
Fang Yuan and others were all confused. What was the Spiritual Realm? Was there such a place in Yunjing City?
