Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 280 - Meeting Jing Xin

Chapter 280 Meeting Jing Xin

The guests who had not left were frightened. Dongfang Yuyan responded in time and shouted, “Where is the guards?”

Rustle!!

Royal Guards who were hiding around the garden immediately appeared, which rea.s.sured the guests and calmed down the commotion.

Su Li glanced at an acquaintance.

Hu Dadan was in the Royal Guards. He was a former follower of Wu Bin.

“Commander Hu, take someone out to see what happened.”

Dongfang Yuyan hurriedly commanded. Hu Dadan didn’t dare to delay and immediately rushed out of the courtyard. Soon, he came back in panic, “Fourth Princess, somebody was dead…”

Dongfang Yuyan’s expression changed slightly and she went out with him. The guests behind her didn’t dare to go out of the protection of the Royal Guards and so, they followed closely.

Su Li pushed Ling Li’s wheelchair and arrived at last. When she saw the corpse lying on the ground, she recalled for a moment and remembered the ident.i.ty of the person. She was an ordinary Miss of a common aristocratic family.

But now she looked like a frail old woman, who was bloodless as if her blood was drunk by something.

Many Misses of aristocratic family turned their heads and hid in their husbands’ arms, s.h.i.+vering. Even Hu Dadan, who had seen a lot of ferocious scenes, had been frightened by such terrible death, let alone them.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Dongfang Yuyan pondered for a while and said decisively, “Contact the Supreme Judiciary and let them come to take over the case immediately! Commander Hu, please take the guests home carefully!”

It was reasonable for Dongfang Yuyan to worry because no one knew whether the murderer was still hiding around or not. Fortunately, the dead woman’s family was not powerful, so, it was easy to deal with. It would be complicated if some descendants of one or two powerful families died.

Maybe it might be as serious as the matter caused by the Master of the Ma Family last time.

“Fourth Princess, don’t worry. This is a mistake of the Royal Guards. I will never let it happen again!”

Hu Dadan nodded cautiously and ordered immediately. Under his careful arrangements, the guests left smoothly one couple by one couple. The Ling Family was specially taken care of by Hu Dadan because it’s high status, so, there were two teams escorting them away.

Ling Mo and Yun Yi didn’t refuse them, though they all knew that if the murderer was stronger than the two in the palanquin, the two teams couldn’t resist at all.

It was not dark yet, so, there were still pedestrians on the road from time to time, which seemed tranquil as before.

Although Ling Li wanted to ask Su Li about the zither and the music, he had to pay attention to the thing first. He transmitted the sound to her, “You are proficient in pharmacology. What’s your opinion about the corpse?”

Su Li glanced at Ling Li lightly and shook her head, without speaking.

Ling Li frowned and glanced at Su Li’s arm. He could see the scabby wound through the gauze by his eyesight.

He had an instinct that Su Li became very frugal… after she got married!

It was not to save money, but to save… genuine energy. The genuine energy could speed up the wound healing, but she would rather keep the wound to cure by itself. And the transmission of sound… It took little genuine energy to transmit the sound, which was negligible, but she only transmitted a short sentence in response to Dongfang Yang’s threat when Su Li and he went to the banquet.

Why?

He racked his brain and couldn’t figure out why Su Li saved her genuine energy so much. The hidden breath in Su Li’s body showed that she was obviously closer to the longevity realm than him…

Only Su Li knew that she was in a bad state. She now had no progress in practice. Therefore, every time she used her foundation, she would be closer to death. If not necessary, she didn’t want to waste the foundation.

The carriage returned to the Ling Mansion safely, and the captain of the Royal Guards saluted politely and took others away. Su Li and Ling Li were asked by Qiu Meng for a while before they returned to the East Courtyard.

After a rest, Yun Yi and Ling Mo guarded outside the study.

The smoke of the incense curled up in the room. Su Li brought a cup of tea in case of Qiu Meng’s inspection, then she sat down beside the bookshelf and said inexplicably, “Although the miracle-working doctor is my teacher, he is not a medical examiner. I only saw the corpse once. How can I have opinions? There are countless books in the Yinmo Cult, maybe there is a record of the evil martial art like this.”

Ling Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and he knew that Su Li was answering his questions on the carriage just now. Although the voice was still cold, he could feel some worries from her words.

It seemed that Li had clues!

Thinking it, Ling Li immediately asked Ling Mo to look for Ling Qinglan and asked him to look up the ancient books in the Yinmo Cult. At the same time, he also confirmed one thing.

Su Li was really saving her genuine energy!

Was it that rainy day that left her some sequelae?

Recalling the situation at that time, Ling Li felt distressed. He was only dealing with the contradiction with Su Li, and he ignored Li’s… serious injury!

Ling Li looked up at Su Li, who was still sitting with her back to him. He wanted to ask her, but he finally stopped because of the coldness that Su Li deliberately showed before. He knew that even if he asked, she wouldn’t answer.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Third Elder wanted to tell him something but hesitated before, which seemed that there was something concealing from him. But Third Elder had returned to the mountain to practice in isolation, so, he could only ask him after he came back.

Su Li beside the bookshelf looked down at the book in her hands, but thought about other things.

Ling Li’s eyes were so burning and undisguised. Of course, she felt.

But it was no use to confess to him.

It was better to complete all the things she wanted to do in the final days.

It was all her choice, and she didn’t want anyone to feel guilty. She could only say sorry in her heart to those who she failed. If there was a next life, she would repay them. As for the date of her death, she would conceal it as long as possible.

She had some judgments on the corpse today.

In the previous life, she was a She-Devil, who made people in the martial arts circle terrified. There was another emerging Devil named Xue Xie, who was equal to her.

Technically, she was the same as Xue Xie in the previous life. They killed innocent people for their own interests. Xue Xie liked drinking blood to promote her cultivation. She used human to refine elixirs. At that time, the martial arts circle called them the “Blood and Elixirs Evils”!

Although the name made her close to Xue Xie, she didn’t know her in fact. She just wanted to promote her cultivation to revenge, so, she was very careful, but Xue Xie was much more reckless than her. Soon, Xue Xie was killed by decent factions. Then there was only the “Elixirs Devil” in the martial arts circle, and no “Blood Devil” anymore.

As for today’s case, the time from the woman screamed to everyone went out was just several seconds. And her blood was drunk out and she died in such a short period of time.

Such action made her think of Xue Xie.

However, she was not sure, because Xue Xie had not been born at this time in the previous life, but there were too many things changed by her in this life. No one knew whether it had affected the birth of Blood Devil or not.

Ling Qinglan was confused when he took over the case. After he received Ling Li’s news, he immediately had the clue and started to investigate.

After a few days, it seemed that because of Supreme Judiciary, the murderer didn’t appear again, and the panic caused by the corpse was slightly relieved.

Yun Yi took a reply letter to Su Li in the evening.

The letter paper was very special, which looked like bark instead of paper and felt a little rough. And there was no mark on it.

Su Li took it and her eyes twinkled. This was the unique paper with wood grain in the Spiritual Realm. She was very familiar with it because she had learned how to make it in the previous life and used it to replace the resources of cultivation.

At the same time, Su Li had unfolded the letter paper and there were only a few words on it.

“See you in the Spiritual Realm from 23:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., from Jing Xin.”

After reading it, Su Li immediately got up and left the Ling Mansion from the underground path. People in the Ling Mansion were used to her existence, so, she was free to walk around and didn’t have trouble as before.

Su Li came to the stronghold of the Spiritual Realm by the cover of the Linli Building and no one found out. When she arrived at the door, she saw Qu Xiao come up respectfully and salute, “Senior, Great Master has been waiting on the top floor for a long time.”

Su Li nodded softly, “Please lead the way.”

“Senior, you don’t have to be so polite to me.”

After they finished talking, Qu Xiao didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly brought Su Li in. He was more respectful than before.

Although he reported the news of Su Li in time, only a few days later, Great Master came to Dahan Country in person, which made him immediately realize that Su Li was even more powerful than he imagined.

Su Li arrived the attic, and Qu Xiao left consciously.

Su Li’s heart beat faster. When she opened the door, the back of a woman in white was in sight. Realizing Su Li’s arrival, she turned around and showed her face.

The face was very ordinary, not beautiful and not ugly. It was just so inconspicuous in the crowd and wouldn’t caught any attention.

But this ordinary woman made Su Li feel extraordinary, as if she was in a fairyland, not in the secular world.

“You think of me at last.”

The woman said with a smile, and her first sentence revealed many things.

Su Li didn’t know why she immediately calmed down when she saw her. It was a kind of peace that only she could give her, which was the same as that in the previous life.

After heard what Jing Xin said, Su Li also chuckled, “Jing Xin, you still remember me.”

The relations.h.i.+p between Su Li and Jing Xin was complex. She was saved by Jing Xin in the previous life. She felt grateful and even wanted to follow her, but Jing Xin made her treat her like a friend. After getting along with her, they had the relations.h.i.+p between a teacher and a student as well as friends.

Therefore, Su Li called her by her name.

Jing Xin smiled because of seeing her old friend. But she suddenly seemed to find something and changed her expression. She couldn’t believe and asked, “You… you broke the bracelet?”
