Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 432 - The envy

Chapter 432 The envy

The st.u.r.dy middle-aged man was shocked by the smile on Su Li’s face.

Before saying that, he had expected Su Li’s reaction. It might be anger, gloom, or nothing, but not a smile. She smiled, so happily, which seemed so real.

“Your Excellency… why are you smiling?”

He sounded out with a grunt, “You are thinking that I lied to you?”

“Quite the opposite.”

Su Li stopped smiling and said in a bland tone, “I believe what you said. If Chimo Circle invade Qingshui Circle and eliminate the holy sects one day, it may not be a bad thing.”

The st.u.r.dy middle-aged man was bewildered by Su Li’s words and didn’t know what to say.

Even the top men in Chimo Circle hesitated about attacking Qingshui Circle in many aspects, but now a pract.i.tioner from Qingshui Circle believed they could win?

Did he practice too much to be clear-minded? Or didn’t he understand the world because the world changed too fast?

“So, in order to save the consumption of flesh and blood, both circles agreed on that no one can break the s.p.a.ce?”

“Correct!”

“Why were you selected to guard the exit of the pa.s.sage?”

“There are six exits in total, and this is just one of them. Each side guarded three exits respectively and allowed no one to leave!”

“What about me?”

“You could leave certainly. I would be troubled greatly if you continued to stay here and destroy the s.p.a.ce.”

“…”

Looking at the two talking with each other, Su Yang sitting on the side could hardly contain his laughter.

“Blockhead, look at the alien top man. He has been hoodwinked by Su Jiuzhou! This guy from this obscure circle is so easy to be fooled, isn’t he?!”

“It’s Chimo Circle.”

Su Mu sullenly corrected him, and wondered why Su Yang was so sure that Su Jiuzhou lied about that. He didn’t think about what if she told the truth?

Even they were against the entire Qingshui Circle, Chimo Circle would not regard them as friends. In that hopeless situation, Su Jiuzhou might survive, but he and Su Yang would absolutely die.

An hour later, the st.u.r.dy middle-aged man said aloud to Su Li in a serious manner, “I am Han Jiu, a warrior of the seventh-grade realm, equivalent to a pract.i.tioner of Huashen Realm in your Qingshui Circle. As you said, the dispute between the two circles was neither right nor wrong, but a matter of victory or defeat. Although you are an alien enemy, I would like to make friends with you. May I have your name?”

Looking at Han Jiu with a smile, Su Li said, “I’m Su Jiuzhou. Perhaps I will use the name of Su Qingshui in the future.”

Han Jiu sensed her words meant more than what she said, but he didn’t figure it out and wasn’t entangled with it. After pouring two cups of wine, he picked up one and smiled, “Su Jiuzhou, now you are my friend! If we meet on the battlefield one day, I won’t show mercy to you!”

“I’m not sure whether I will be on the battlefield or not.”

After picking up the other wine cup, Su Li took a sip and spoke with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Su Yang could not help but extremely admire Su Li. Was this the so-called victory without a fighting? They were mortal enemies from different circles one second before, but now they could drink wine together!

After drinking the cup of wine, Han Jiu became cheerful and took Su Li to the exit by himself.

After seeing the three leave the s.p.a.ce, Han Jiu stood for a while in front of the vortex that had calmed down. Then, he returned to the camp and saw Bai Chen, who had his wounds dressed, sitting on the seat that Su Li took previously.

“Why?”

Bai Chen’s face was wrapped with white bandages and only his eyes were uncovered. But now his eyes were full of incomprehension and… gloom.

“As you heard, she’s not your enemy.”

Seeing the square stone piece in Bai Chen’s hand, Han Jiu sighed in his heart but did not change his expression. He walked to the table, sat down, and took out a square stone piece as well.

It was a communication stone in Chimo Circle, which was not different from the carrier rune in Qingshui Circle. However, only the top men in Chimo Circle could possess a communication stone, not like the carrier runes that were common in Qingshui Circle.

The communication stone in Bai Chen’s hand was from his master.

“But I think you’ve been cheated by her, Senior.”

Bai Chen spoke directly. Han Jiu couldn’t help but smile, “I know what you are thinking. Just based on Su Jiuzhou’s words, I trusted her and told her so many secrets. You certainly think that I’m the most stupid dumb a.s.s in the world, don’t you?”

“I…”

Bai Chen’s ears turned slightly red. He nodded stiffly and shook his head, “It’s not right! Senior, since you knew that, why did you…”

“Hahaha…”

Han Jiu smiled slightly, “There is an old saying that what you hear about may be false, but what you see is true. Although you eavesdropped on the conversation through the communication stone, you did not see Su Jiuzhou’s expression and the thing she brought.”

Bai Chen’s pupils were fixed and he saw that Han Jiu’s eyes were flas.h.i.+ng on his gentle face.

“The treasure tied in Su Jiuzhou’s waist looks familiar. If it’s that… she has enough reason to hate the holy sects in Qingshui Circle.”

Bai Chen might not understand what he heard, but he was relaxed. He believed that Senior Han would not lie to him on this kind of thing.

…

In an ordinary inn of a mortal city near Yuxu Sect, Qingshui Circle.

Su Yang was sitting at a greasy and dirty table. He looked at the wine and food for mortals on the table and raised his head. Seeing Su Li was drinking alone, he could not help but be a little confused.

After pa.s.sing through the vortex, they appeared at the entrance of this city. When he asked Su Li about her next plan, she said surprisingly that she wanted to try some delicacies for mortals.

Su Yang thought she was joking, but now…

Seeing that Su Li poured herself another cup of wine, drank it, and had some fried peanuts, Su Yang could not help but swallow his saliva.

Did it taste so good?

He had tasted secular food before. But compared with spiritual wine and delicacies, it was hard to swallow and it tasted worse than pig swill. Even the pigs raised in the sect were fed much better than mortals.

Seeing Su Li was enjoying the food, he was not sure that at this moment. He couldn’t help but pick up a piece of spiced beef slice and put it into his mouth. And then his mouth and nose were filled with a stench that only secular meat had.

“Ew… pooh!”

Su Yang bent down and puked everything he ate. He took out a few Qingxin Pills for detoxification and put them into his mouth.

Su Mu never touched his chopsticks. Seeing Su Yang’s flushed face, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why did you bother yourself?”

Perhaps Su Yang misheard. He heard that Su Mu gloated a little in his plain words.

Su Yang stuck out his tongue with a grimace, “It tastes so horrible. Senior, how could you eat it?”

Su Li glanced at him. Then she picked up a slice of beef and ate it up. She nodded with relish, “It tastes good. Don’t waste it if you don’t like it.”

“I…”

Su Yang defiantly glanced at Su Mu and found that Su Mu closed his eyes and wouldn’t give a try of the sliced beef. Undeterred by his experience before, he took a second slice.

“Pooh…”

Hearing Su Yang’s complaints by his side, Su Mu sensed the warmth of the light through the window. His flat lips curved slightly.

It’s a great feeling.

Did Su Jiuzhou often come to secular cities to relax?

He turned his head and saw the profile of Su Li, but became stunned.

If he didn’t misread, he saw… envy from her eyes?

What did she envy?

Following her sight, Su Mu saw that a family of three was standing behind a vegetable booth and hawking with satisfied smiles.

He couldn’t understand.

There’s no need to envy the life of the weak.

“Let’s go.”

Su Li suddenly got up, left a golden leaf on the table, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Su Mu did not dare to stay behind. He immediately pulled Su Yang, who was still gagging, and also disappeared.

“What’s it?”

At the vegetable booth, the farmer’s wife suddenly felt something in her hand. She opened her hand and found it was three silver leaves! She was overjoyed instantly. And then she looked around and put them away hurriedly.

G.o.d bless, they could celebrate the Spring Festival well this year.

…

During the flight on the spirit boat, Su Mu was still lost in thought. Su Li didn’t hide from them as she gave the silver leaves.

A pract.i.tioner with cultivation comparable to Yuanying Realm still had mercy for ordinary mortals?

What’s this?

Su Jiuzhou, the one they followed, was just an innocent and kind-hearted girl?

“I want to sneak in Yuxu Sect again. What can you do?”

A sudden voice transmission interrupted Su Mu’s woolgathering.

“Yuxu Sect?”

Su Yang couldn’t help but scratch his head and said, “Senior, you have powerful strength and you can go to Yuxu Sect aboveboard. You must be well-treated by them. Why will you sneak in?”

Su Li glanced at Su Yang. Su Yang immediately shrank his neck and stopped talking.

“Yuxu Sect covers the entire Jiuzhou Mountain Range.”

Su Mu said at this moment, “It’s easy to enter the Jiuzhou Mountain Range. We just need to open an entrance at a weak point of the big tactical matrix for protecting the Sect. Senior, if you want to have our advice, you should give us a specific direction.”

Su Li stared at and uttered two words slowly, “Tea Peak!”

“As what I thought!”

Su Mu exhaled a breath. He had been speculating Su Jiuzhou’s purpose of sneaking in the tea party. She was not interested the reward. For her power, they were nothing but a few tea leaves. The only possible target should be the Immortal Tea Plant itself!

“Senior, you want to steal the Immortal Tea Plant?”

When Su Yang just finished his words, his body whooshed up high into the air and stuck to the s.h.i.+eld of the spirit boat. He looked fierce and couldn’t come down.

Su Mu looked at him with pity and turned to Su Li, who just withdrew her hands. Su Mu frowned and a.n.a.lyzed, “The Immortal Tea Plant has become a spirit of gra.s.s and wood, and its mind is not lower than that of any pract.i.tioners. Spirits of gra.s.s and wood are born weak, but the Immortal Tea Plant has lived so long. It was at least 7,000 years since the foundation of Yuxu Sect. It is no worse than someone at the peak stage of Yuanying Realm! Senior, if you want to steal it without being seen, I’m afraid…”

“I knew what you said.”

Su Li looked at the outline of Jiuzhou Mountain Range that faintly floated in the distant nothingness, “The big tactical matrix for protecting Yuxu Sect is not as simple as you think. If I make a door on it, I will be detected immediately.”

Su Mu’s expression changed slightly, “The holy tactical matrix?”

“Correct!”

Su Li nodded unsurprisingly, “You have stayed in a holy sect. You should know that the strength of the founder of Yuxu Sect was not lower than any Grand Elder from any other holy sects. If he didn’t disappear… Well, it’s an old story. Tell me what you have in mind.”

“This…”

Su Mu’s thoughts were in a mess at this moment.

“Senior!”

Su Yang, who was still sticking to the s.h.i.+eld of the spirit boat, shouted with lights in his eyes, “I know how to get in!”
