Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 183 - Days Left to Him to Live

Chapter 183 Days Left to Him to Live

After Ling Ping and Ling Qinglan returned to the Ling Family, they were congratulated by two women of the Ling Family.

“Ping, well done! You didn’t disgrace our Ling Family!”

Mrs. Gu was relieved, and Qiu Meng was so excited that she was close to crying. She held Ling Ping’s arms tight.

Ling Ping grinned and did not talk about the a.s.sa.s.sination. He walked to Ling Li and gave the branch of Kurong tree to him without saying anything.

Ling Li looked at the branch in surprise and could not help but ask, “Second Brother, won’t you ask what this branch is for?”

Ling Ping laughed and said, “I will give you whatever you want. If you want to tell me, you will tell me later. But if you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask you. You and Qinglan… have grown up.”

Ling Li was moved and he really wanted to tell his brother everything he planned secretly. But before he told him, Mrs. Gu knocked Ling Ping’s head.

“You naughty boy, did you get dizzy with this success?! You are only 21. You should work hard at this age. Why do you have so many viewpoints that people will have at their 70s?!”

Ling Ping smiled embarra.s.sedly, and he dared not bicker with his grandma. So, he said, “Grandma, let’s go home. Later, we will be stuck in traffic.”

“You spoiled brat…”

Then, Mrs. Gu went home with the help of Qiu Meng. Her grandson won the first prize, and she was very happy for that. She walked with springy steps.

“Second Brother Ling, you are a model of our generation!”

Tang Lei was also infected by the atmosphere. He also fawned on Ling Ping behind him. Su Li walked beside them and smiled. Her efforts paid off.

When the carriage arrived at the Affiliated School of the National Academy, Su Li got off.

“Little Li, if you have time, come to our Ling House to talk with me. I heard that you are also good at cooking. I want to consult you about that.” Qiu Meng took Su Li’s hands and didn’t want to let her go. Su Li smiled softly and said, “Aunt Meng, when I have spare time, I will visit you.”

Su Li was helpless, because Qiu Meng asked Su Li to call her “Aunt Meng”. Su Li knew what the woman was thinking. But she had no reason to refuse.

Through the Autumn Hunting Contest, she did not see any people in the Prime Minister Tang’s Mansion but got closer with the people of the Ling House. It was really out of plan. However, it was surprising that Ling Li got the branch of the Kurong tree, but the Lijue Pill…

Su Li frowned and turned into the Affiliated School.

The herbs that his senior fellow apprentice left were close to running out due to the people of the Yinmo Cult.

It was in the Ling House.

Ling Li slowly took the branch of the Kurong tree to the courtyard. Ling Mo and Ling Xian had already waited here. When they saw Ling Li was confused, they stepped forward to push his wheelchair.

“Master, what is this?” When Ling Mo saw the thing in Ling Li’s hand, he couldn’t help but ask. He looked at it carefully and his expression changed immediately. He said, “Master, it is…”

“Right, this is the branch of the Kurong tree.”

Ling Li answered and put the branch on the table. He shook his body. Nine silver needles in his waist flew out and pinned to the wall.

“Hiss…”

He stood up constrainedly and took a deep breath. His legs were numb. The feeling was not good.

“Master, you have great cultivation. You don’t have to rely on the needles to pretend to be disabled. Why do you ask for trouble?” Ling Mo suppressed his laughter and couldn’t help but admonish.

Formerly, when master didn’t reach the inborn realm, he used the acupuncture to stop tendons and vessels. Those doctors all thought that his legs were really disabled. It was easy to use the needles, but his legs would be broken if he used needles over seven days.

Nowadays, Ling Li had reached the peak of the inborn realm. Although his cultivation would not be ruined by the nine needles, the sense of being numb was still there.

He tried his best to operate the genuine energy and then his legs were not numb soon. Ling Li shook his head and said, “It is preferable to be cautious. I’ll do what I should do. It is the prize of the Autumn Hunting Contest. Second Brother Ling won the first prize. I took it from him.”

Ling Xian was surprised and raised her eyebrows. She said, “It is so coincidental! Could it be that the Dongfang Family tempted us deliberately?”

“I also thought about that, but if the information of Kurong tree is leaked…” Ling Li took a deep breath and said coldly, “we need to have a check across the cult.”

Ling Xian and Ling Mo were all shocked. It was when the master just took over the cult that they had a check last time.

“Ling Xian, explore what Ling Qinglan is doing recently.”

Ling Xian bent down and gave a salute. She said, “Yes, master.”

…

At the same time, Ling Qinglan and Ling Ping came to the courtyard together. After they looked at each other, they laughed spontaneously and pleasantly.

“One who survives a great disaster is destined to good fortune for ever after!”

Ling Ping heavily patted Ling Qinglan’s scraggy shoulders and called him like Ling Li. He said, “Brother Lan, find Mr. Li and trust him. He must have methods to cure you.”

Ling Qinglan didn’t have many expectations in his heart, but he still said with a smile, “Wish your words will do some help.”

A friend in need was a friend indeed. Although Ling Qinglan was kind to grandma and mother, people may know a man’s exterior but not his heart. They seldom contacted with each other. He only thought that Ling Qinglan was a cousin who was “boring and not excellent”.

But today, he knew that Ling Qinglan was worthy of trust.

“Well, bring back these things.”

Ling Ping suddenly remembered something and gave the Hongyuan Sword and that pamphlet to Ling Qinglan. He said, “Without the help of Mr. Li, I couldn’t win the first prize. Gave the two things to Mr. Li.”

All the people in the Ling Family were upright and never gained extra advantage by unfair means. What Ling Ping did was in accordance with Ling Qinglan’s expectations. Ling Qinglan picked up the two things and didn’t see the contents in that ancient pamphlet. He said, “Second Brother, I must give them to him.”

“Good! You are tired today. How about staying and having a rest here?”

What Ling Ping said reminded Ling Qinglan of that he didn’t contact with Su Qingtan for three days. He waved his hands quickly and said, “No. A lot of matters in the Supreme Judiciary needed to be dealt with. I must go back hurriedly. I will come here in another day.”

“In this case, I will not insist.”

Ling Ping nodded and looked at the direction that Ling Qinglan quickly left. The boy did not say anything to Brother Li. He asked before that he wanted Ling Ping to say “sorry” to Brother Li for him.

He couldn’t help but scratch his head and said to himself, “When did these two conflict with each other?”

Ling Qinglan did not go to the courtyard of Ling Li because he was scared. He was like a fragile porcelain. He relied on the elixir that “Mr. Li” gave him. If Ling Li saw through it by accident, he might be furious and kill Su Qingtan with his sword.

Ling Qinglan went back to the Supreme Judiciary hurriedly, he explored the tactical matrix traces and found that n.o.body touched these traces. Su Qingtan was practicing and some ice in the adytum melted.

After Ling Qinglan covered the adytum with ice toxin, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He wore a clean clothes and took out a thin paper written with blood. He burnt the paper with some expectations.

n.o.body wanted to die…

That night, Ling Qinglan was sleepless. On the next morning, with two dark circles under his eyes, he walked to the address wrote on that paper alone in disguise.

In the morning, there were few people on the street. Occasionally, he could see one or two pedestrians. When he arrived at the alley that Su Li wrote on the paper, there was n.o.body.

It was just close to five o’clock in the morning. It was too early.

Ling Qinglan smiled constrainedly and instantly saw a tall and well-marked building.

Linli Building!

There was a Linli Building in the Yunjing City?

Ling Qinglan was stunned. The Tianya House didn’t notice it, because it was too remote. What’s more, there was no deliberate publicity. Therefore, it’s not as famous as it is in Qinghe Province.

Ling Qinglan hesitated for a moment at the door, but he still knocked on the door. When he knocked once, the door was opened with a sound “creak”.

An ordinary waiter who was not in disguise opened the door. Ling Qinglan thought that the Linli Building in the Yunjing City was different from the one in Qinghe Town, because the waiter didn’t really belong to the Linli Building.

“Come in, please. The shopkeeper told me that a guest would come. Go to the attic directly.”

“Thank you!”

Ling Qinglan nodded and thanked him. The waiter was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. It was strange that a childe in nice clothes actually thanked him.

Ling Qinglan did not see anyone on the way to upstairs. But it was normal that they hadn’t start today’s business. He looked around and saw the marked wine wooden sign. When he saw the prices on it, he took a deep breath.

The price of the wine was exaggerated!

The wine was 100,000 taels for one flagon?

Even if people loved wine deeply, they would not buy it.

Even if he had money, he would not spend it in this way.

When Ling Qinglan arrived at the attic, he saw the pavilion whose windows were opened. It was exactly the same as those in the Linli Building of Qinghe Province.

It was cold in the morning. The cold wind affected the ice toxin in Ling Qinglan’s body, which made his face pale.

At this time, he saw a flagon of wine and heard the voice of “Mr. Li”. “Drink it.”

Ling Qinglan looked up and found that Su Li sat at the table. At this moment, he thought Mr. Li was changed again. He was mysterious and terrified in the Qinghe Province when they first met. He was impressive and more mysterious in the Supreme Judiciary when they met again.

He met Mr. Li in the Northwest Hunting Ground for the third time.

Mr. Li appeared unexpectedly and killed all the killers! He adored Mr. Li and had a sense of friendliness to him. It seemed that “Mr. Li” was not a mysterious spectator. He paid attention to them and helped them secretly.

Ling Qinglan took a breath of relief with a smile and drank the wine. He did not worry about whether the wine was poisonous or not. But the wine was far spicier than he had imagined. He immediately coughed.

“Ha-ha-ha…”

Su Li’s hearty laughter echoed in the pavilion. Ling Qinglan smiled embarra.s.sed while he was coughing. It was really a disgrace.

What?

Soon, he felt warm inside. This warmth suppressed his ice toxin. Its speed was almost the same as that of the elixir he took.

This wine had such effect!

Ling Qinglan was amazed inside. He heard Su Li’s ridicule. Su Li said, “This wine is the raw wine of the Liehuo Spirits. It is worth more than 50,000 taels. And… are you going to stand and talk to me?”

Ling Qinglan suddenly came to his sense and sat primly opposite Su Li. He had been the Deputy Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult for nearly ten years. But he still felt nervous when he saw Su Li at this moment.

“Please accept these, Mr. Li.”

Ling Qinglan took out the Hongyuan Sword and that ancient pamphlet and put them on the table. He said, “I and Second Brother Ling both think that these two things belong to you. As for that branch, the Hierarch took it. Forgive me.”

“It doesn’t matter. Give me your hand and let me see how many days you will live?”

It seemed that Su Li didn’t care about him. She tapped at the table and Ling Qinglan stretched out one of his hands tamely. He had never been so tame even in front of Ling Li.

Or… was it a unique reaction to the doctor?
