Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 110 - The Small Banquet

Chapter 110 The Small Banquet

Just as usual, Su Li returned to the courtyard of the school from the Linli Building. Then she sat in meditation all night long. When she got up, Mammy Li already prepared steaming hot breakfast for her. She didn’t need to take food after entering into the inborn realm and she could keep her body work merely by virtue of absorbing the nimbus of the universe. However, she was fond of delicacies and would have a small bowl of refres.h.i.+ng millet porridge every morning.

The suns.h.i.+ne was casted into the room through the window. It was a nice and cloudless day. Su Li’s eyes brightened from time to time when she heard the chirm from the woods outside the window.

She had been waiting all these days.

Wu Yun was so vicious that she was unlikely to give up after a failed attack. Su Li guessed that she would probably start a more violent revenge. But there was no sign of her revenge for all these days, which made Su Li a little uneasy.

After all, instead of Wu Yun’s means of handling things, Su Li had only seen her dead body in the previous life. But it could be concluded that she certainly wasn’t a woman like Zhu Yan that could be easily dealt with from the fact that she could take control of the Gong Family of Yunjing.

When Su Li was deep in thought, Xiaowu hurriedly walked into the courtyard and gave her an invitation and said, “Lady, it is from the College of Martial Arts.”

Su Li got rid of the distractions. She reached out her hands and took the invitation. She was more and more surprised as she read it.

The letter was mainly about a peerless genius in the College of Martial Arts. He had acquired the ninth hurdle when he was only 17, which was even two years earlier than Jin Cheng’ao. He broke the school’s record at one stroke. Therefore, the College of Martial Arts specially held a small feast for him and had invited all the lecturers and outstanding students of the Qinghe School to attend.

Su Li put down the invitation and muttered to herself.

In the ordinary course of events, such people were qualified to attract a few cults of martial arts circle. Then the young genius would become famous. She couldn’t think of such a person no matter how hard she searched the memory of her pervious life.

He either didn’t appear at the Qinghe Town or died in a very young age, and in his previous life, he probably didn’t have the reputation as this life.

Su Li was interested in that talent. The Linli Building was in the primary stage of development, so all talented people were welcomed to join her.

“Lady, the people of the College of Martial Arts have always looked down upon the people of the College of Literature. Are we still going there?”

Xiaowu couldn’t help but ask when he saw Su Li was indecisive. Su Li came to her sense and said with a smile, “Although I don’t know the details of the celebration, we should go and see since the school have trained a genius. Go and change a clean-cut suit, then go with me. If you don’t have any such clothes, ask Mammy Li for some money to buy it.”

Xiaowu was delighted after hearing that and he immediately went to change his clothes. Every man cherished a dream of martial arts. Although he couldn’t get in touch with the things that belong to that level in this life, it was still good to feast his eyes on it.

In the evening, Su Li left for the College of Martial Arts in her carriage. It was her first time to the martial arts field with her true ident.i.ty.

Although it was a small banquet, there were a great many people here because the reputation of the so-called genius. The boy and girl branch schools of the College of Literature had more than one hundred people. There were even more people of the College of Martial Arts. So, three or four hundred people in total would come.

There weren’t enough room in the regular courtyard for so many people. In order to solve this problem, the College of Martial Arts finally decided that they would give a banquet in the martial arts field, which could accommodate one thousand people to practice martial arts at the same time. Therefore, it was more than sufficient for a banquet of three or four hundred people.

Many people were already in the martial arts field when Su Li and Xiaowu came. The administrators who kept watching outside the field were stunned when they saw Su Li’s token and instantly understood.

It turned out that she was that talented lecturer who was only 16. Unfortunately, she was in the College of Literature, or there certainly would be a fierce compet.i.tion between these two talented people.

“Lecturer Su, a lecturer can go in with a servant. Please come in.”

The administrator didn’t stop Xiaowu who followed Su Li and welcomed them in with a smile.

At that moment, the martial arts field had been greatly changed. The shelves used for placing weapons and the targets used for practicing archery were all replaced with rows of banquet tables. Almost more than a half of the martial arts field was occupied.

Although Su Li had operated the Nothing Unusual, she immediately attracted many young talents because of her extremely fine features. Some of them even went to talk with her directly.

But they were deeply shocked when they saw Su Li brought a servant with her. Each student in the Qinghe School was either rich or n.o.ble, so personal privilege had no use here. Even the satrap’s daughter didn’t bring a maid, but this miss who seemed to be younger than her even brought a servant…

“She is Lecturer Su!”

Someone already realized Su Li’s ident.i.ty. The young talents immediately stopped trying to flirt with Su Li and felt embarra.s.sed. If they were labeled as indecent men for hara.s.sing female lecturers because of this…they didn’t want to be dismissed by the Qinghe School.

Xiaowu followed Su Li carefully and watched the scene with excitement.

There was so much dim sum that he had never seen before. The man who came here were gentle and cultivated and the girls who were superb both at disposition and ability were all from respectable families. Some of them might be the pillars of Qinghe Town or even Dahan Country in the future. He never thought that a small potato like him could have the honor to see them. It was Su Li who brought all these to him!

Xiaowu felt that the wisest decision that he had ever made was to be Su Li’s servant, so that he could see a completely different view from his past life.

“Su Li, you’re here!”

Feng Qingru were standing with Wen Ruomin. She caught a sight of Su Li and instantly ran to her. She held Su Li’s hands and said with a smile, “Follow me, I’d like to introduce a person to you.”

When she finished the words, she brought Su Li to Wen Ruomin before Su Li said anything. As she got closer, Su Li saw a pretty handsome young person in fancy clothes was laughing and talking with Wen Ruomin and some old deans. He seemed to be a good talker.

“Su Li, you are here.”

Wen Ruomin pulled Su Li’s hands with a smile and pointed at the young person in fancy clothes and said, “I’d like to introduce him to you. This is Lin Yanxing. He is both the protagonist of the banquet and the peerless genius of the College of Martial Arts. He is more than qualified to be a special-cla.s.s lecturer in virtue of his great potential in martial arts. As a matter of fact, he has nearly the same talent as you.”

Lin Yanxing gave a fist and palm salute and said before Su Li said anything, “Grandma Wen, you overpraised me. I just take some advantage of the talent and practice with strength. How can I compare with Lecturer Su who has pure heart and spirit?”

Su Li slightly smiled and said, “Childe Lin, you are too modest.”

However, she didn’t look at Lin Yanxing for a while because she was attracted by the girl who were standing behind Lin Yanxing. It seemed that she had seen this face before.

Lin Yanxing perceived Su Li was absent-minded. He slightly stopped smiling and looked at whom Su Li was seeing. He instantly said with a smile,

“Lecturer Su seems to be interested in my distant cousin. Let me introduce her to you. This is my distant cousin Lin Xiang. In fact, she lives in the town not far from Lecturer Su’s hometown. It must be destiny that brings you two together.”

The fact that Su Li came from the Dasu Town was not secret but well-known to all. After all, many people had read Satrap Yan’s personal letter.

Su Li slightly nodded and her eyes blinked when she heard what Lin Yanxing said. She recalled that she happened to meet Lin Xiang once at the birthday banquet of the Yang Family.

“Ho ho…we old people will leave you young people to talk.” Wen Ruomin and other people left with a smile when they saw the young people begin their conversation. There were only five people left before long.

Lin Xiang saw Su Li with mixed emotions and she looked slightly pale. She had antic.i.p.ated that she would run against Su Li, but it was a completely different feeling when they truly met.

Fortunately, the thing that she and Su Zipei had tried to trap Su Li was only kept to themselves. Su Li didn’t know that it was her who brought the aphrodisiac to her, or she certainly wouldn’t stand here.

“Lin Xiang, why do you look so pale? Are you OK?”

Lin Yanxing was so sharp-eyed that he noticed that something was wrong. So, he asked with a smile. But Lin Xiang just felt cold in her heart and immediately shook her head and said, “I am alright. I only feel a little cold.”

Her cousin was the First Master of the Lin Family. She finally could get in touch with him and had the opportunity to enlarge her view. How could she go back just because she saw Su Li? If she did so, wouldn’t that be clear that she was hiding something?

“That is ok if you have no trouble.”

Lin Yanxing replied coldly. He looked soft when he turned to Su Li. He chuckled, “I heard that Lecturer Su has not only marvelous embroidery skills but your own style in advanced embroidery skills. I am usually rapt in practicing martial arts, but I am very curious about the embroidery. Lecturer Su, would you like to sit with me and give me an introduction of it?”

Su Li looked at the direction where Lin Yanxing pointed. Clearly, it was the most conspicuous seat on the right of the seat of honor.

“Nope.”

Su Li shook her head with a smile and declined, “Today, you are the protagonist, so, there is nothing wrong that you sit on the seat of honor. But it will be improper if I take the east seat of it. If you are interested in embroidery, you may attend my lecture. Since I still have something to talk with the daughter of Yan Family, I’d better go.”

Su Li slightly rose with a bow and walked away. Lin Yanxing was so embarra.s.sed that he didn’t know what to do with his hand stretched out and his smile faded away slowly.

Lin Xiang immediately took the opportunity and angrily said, “Yanxing, that Su Li cannot tell good from bad. Who does she think she is? She merely has good luck…”

“Shut up!”

Lin Yanxing reproached her in a low voice then he returned to be cold, “Just remember who you are. Don’t say that again. If someone else hear that, you will never enter the Qinghe School even I’d like to help you.”

Lin Xiang was so scared that she didn’t dared to say anything. At the same time, she hurriedly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one had noticed her.

“People have almost all come. Follow me and let’s start the banquet. You just stand behind me and don’t sit in case someone may think you are rude.”

Lin Yanxing instructed Lin Xiang in a low voice and then didn’t looked at her at all. If it’s not because she had helped him with that method, he certainly wouldn’t take her here. It just lowered his position for no reason.

Lin Xiang promised in a low voice and obediently stood behind him. Tears welled up in her eyes and envy growing fast as weeds and her heart was filled with it in no time.

Why?

At all events, she was the First Miss of collateral line of the Lin Family! That b.i.t.c.h was just born in a small family and no one had ever cared about her before and she was almost be drowned in a pig cage.

Why everything had changed when she came to Qinghe City?

Her cousin, who was versed in both literature and martial arts, talked to her coldly, but he was so gentle to Su Li that he wouldn’t even say a harsh word to her.

She could do nothing but stand behind her cousin like a maid when the banquet began, while Su Li could drink and laugh with those high officials and n.o.ble lords?!

Why? Why?

Lin Xiang asked in her heart in madness over and over again and she pitched her knuckle so much that it became colorless. Her ears were filled with laughter and noises, but she knew that’s none of her business. She was only a pitiful creature who was trying vainly to be in that circle. However, Su Li was already in a high position and was looking at her with contempt.

Yan Hongxiu, Feng Qingru and Su Li sat together in the banquet. They formed a so pretty scene that many people couldn’t help but look at them again and again.

Su Li had stayed in the Yan Family for three days after she pretended to be badly injured. She and Yan Hongxiu’s relations.h.i.+p was greatly improved during that period. They didn’t oppose each other so much like before. Yan Hongxiu had grown up in the past few months because of the frequent accidents. She always carried the silvery bow on her back and gave people the impression of a capable and vigorous heroine.

“Su Li, the maid behind Childe Lin is shaking. Is she scared?” Yan Hongxiu came closer and whispered, “She can’t even bear such scene. It seems that Lin Family’s maid is not so good.”

Su Li smiled but said nothing when she heard it. There was a hint of speculation pa.s.sed through her eyes. The strange reaction of Lin Xiang reminded her that she hadn’t found the initiator who had tried to poison her in the Yang Family.

A group of people in the Linli Building were sick of doing nothing. Maybe she should let them find out the truth.
