595 A Story for Spirit Medicine
“What happened next?”
Su Xiaolu could not help but ask.
“And then—”
A self-deprecating look appeared on Li Yu’s cold face. He continued, “After that, my enemy, who I’ve always been at odds with, came to see me. He pulled her into his arms, kissed her, and slept with her. At that time, he asked her to tell me personally that her appearance was just a meticulous plot of his. The woman I doted on with all my heart was just a woman with lips that were tasted by ten thousand people. She was a woman with a pair of arms that were slept on by ten thousand people. She changed her attitude and was very arrogant in front of me… They trampled on my pride and dignity.”
“I’ve always been proud. I was too embarrassed to reveal such an unbearable matter to the public, so even so, I didn’t tell anyone. She came to break off my engagement and married someone else. People thought that I suffered because my fate wasn’t good. People thought that I was pitiful and magnanimous. After all, I didn’t pursue the matter of her breaking off the engagement and even gave her a thousand taels of silver.”
After Li Yu finished speaking, he looked at Su Xiaolu. “Can my story be used in exchange for the medicine?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Li Yu. For a moment, Li Yu gave her a very familiar feeling. He was sinister and crazy.
In his cold face, there was darkness and decay.
“I’m afraid you haven’t finished your story.”
Gui You said in a deep voice as he stared at Li Yu.
Li Yu looked at Gui You and smiled sinisterly.
He nodded. “That’s right. Since I’ve been seen through, I’ll tell you everything.”
“When I found out that they had an illicit relationship, I was indeed very sad. However, how could I let go of the person who betrayed me so easily? That enemy of mine has been comparing himself to me since I was young. He’s the legitimate son, and so am I. When I was good, he couldn’t compare to me. When I was crippled, he still couldn’t compare to me. I only used a little trick, and he was replaced by a concubine’s son. His biological father accidentally broke his leg, and from then on, he lived worse than livestock. His concubine’s younger brother was much smarter than him. He had accumulated a lot of hatred for him since he was young, but he wouldn’t do it on the surface. On the surface, he did it beautifully, but there were thousands of ways to insult him in secret. That woman, I deceived her in the same way. It’s quite funny. She’s so good at pretending, but she actually fell for it. Unfortunately, she’s like me. She was cheated of all her money and that man sold her to the military camp. As for me, even if I can only sit here, I can still control the Li Family. No one can shake my status.”
“The world has changed. I know that I will stand up again. I’m someone who will take back what’s mine even if I have to pursue him for the rest of my life. If it’s not mine, I don’t want it. The people describe me in many ways. They say I’m cold and heartless, as terrifying as a ghost.”
Li Yu looked at Gui You and did not avoid his gaze.
He was a dark and calculative person.
Gui You glanced at Li Yu and remained silent.
Su Xiaolu walked up to Li Yu and said, “Give me your hand.”
Li Yu stretched out his hand. His muscles and bones were well-defined, and his fingers were long and slender. He looked very clean and beautiful.
Su Xiaolu took his pulse. Li Yu did have some martial arts foundation, and it was not bad.
“Your martial arts are not bad. You shouldn’t be injured to this extent after falling off the horse.”
Su Xiaolu asked the question in her heart.
Li Yu nodded. “Yes, it wasn’t this serious back then. I was drugged. Before I fainted, I saw her hit me with a rock.”
That woman was extremely ruthless to him, so when he took revenge, he did not show mercy. She made him wish he was dead, so he made her feel the same.
Her looks and methods could allow her to lead a good life in the brothel, but she was sold to the lowest inferior-class military camp and became the lowest slave. She wouldn’t die for a while and would only live a life worse than death.
If she had the courage to commit suicide, she would suffer less. However, even if she had the courage, she did not have the chance.
Su Xiaolu took out two pills and handed them to Li Yu. She said, “These two pills are worth 2,000 taels. They can treat your hidden injuries. Go to another place and meditate. You can obtain superpowers.”
Li Yu took the medicine and ate it in front of Su Xiaolu.
He looked at Su Xiaolu in confusion. “An ability like yours? This is an additional benefit. Why did you tell me?”
“You’ll find out sooner or later. Also, I like you.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. If she were Li Yu, she would have done the same. She might have done it even more ruthlessly than him.
Li Yu took out a banknote and gave 2,000 taels to Su Xiaolu. “Thank you.”
He could already feel a powerful force repairing his injured body. This feeling was indescribable, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was reborn. It was as if all the filth in him had been washed away.
“There’s no need to thank me. If Young Master Li recovers another day, just walk around the streets.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and said. With that, she wrapped Li Yu in water and sent him out the door.
Li Yu was from a well-known family in Yulin. His matter was probably well-known here.
A crippled person who couldn’t stand up was getting better. Was there any better publicity than this?
When Li Yu arrived outside, he looked at the tightly shut inn and replied in a deep voice, “I’ve agreed. I’ll definitely keep my word another day.”
“Yu’er, how was it? What happened inside just now?”
Li Zhengang asked with concern.
The Li Family did not lack money, but this thousands of taels was not a small sum. What if the spiritual herb was fake?
Li Yu said calmly, “The medicine is real. The two of them are very satisfied with my story. A few thousand taels were exchanged for the elixirs. We’ll know in five days. Let’s go back.”
Li Zhengang was relieved to hear that. This son of his was brave and resourceful. If he said it was useful, then it was really useful.
The Li family only stayed for half an hour. Once they left, the people who were still watching immediately scrambled to enter the inn.
“Line up one by one. Everyone only has one chance. You can’t repeat it.”
Su Xiaolu’s voice came from the house.
People automatically lined up.
The water gushed out like a living thing, trapping the person inside. The moment the door closed, it emitted cold air.
Not long after, the person inside came out dejectedly and sighed. “What I said was so exciting, why can’t I do it? Sigh, it seems like I’m not so lucky. What spirit herb? It must be fake. I can’t even see it. Pui— Aiyo—”
He had just spurned it when a foot made of water kicked him. That person cried out and did not dare to say anything else. He ran away in fear.
This made the crowd alarmed. The people inside were people they couldn’t afford to offend. Even if they couldn’t obtain anything, they couldn’t afford to discuss it.
One by one, they entered the room and came out again.
Some people really wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they had just queued up when they were kicked out by the foot made of water. This method of establishing their might made those with ulterior motives not dare to act rashly. No matter how the gods inside distinguished them, they could not fake it.
