Yan Hongxiu bit her lower lip tightly, lowering her head and feeling shaken. Her father is a third-rank official of Dahan Kingdom, and her mother comes from a scholarly family and a merchant family. He had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and his mother and sisters constantly instilled traditional ideas into him.
But her character still followed her father's after all. Like her third brother, she had a martial heart and longed for the world where she was heroic and free and free as her brother said!
If you can't draw this bow...
Will she really be willing to marry someone else when she is old enough to take care of her husband and raise her children, and be trapped in a small and narrow world for the rest of her life
No!
She will never give in!
Raising his head, Yan Hongxiu's gaze regained its determination, "Master Immortal, please teach me the formula!"
Su Li pursed her lips slightly, and her voice became colder: "Have you really thought about it? You are too young, and not everything you see and long for is what you want. Even so, do you still want to continue?"
Yan Hongxiu still nodded, "I don't know if this is right, but if I give up now, I will definitely regret it later. In this case, I can't back down!"
After saying this, Yan Hongxiu stared at Su Li closely, but saw that the latter's cold tone suddenly changed and returned to briskness, "It's rare for you to have such awareness at such a young age. In this case, I will teach you the formula now."
"Yes, Master Immortal!"
Yan Hongxiu nodded happily, her face finally returning to its usual smile.
Looking at the pretty girl holding a long bow in front of her, Su Li showed a meaningful smile.
The blood refining method is a commonly used method in the martial arts world to refining weapons, but not everyone can succeed with this method, and if you are refining a spiritual weapon that is much higher than your own cultivation level, you are likely to suffer backlash. , either dead or disabled.
However, she believed that Yan Hongxiu could survive the danger safely. After all, in her previous life, under the torture of Jin Chengao, this woman used her blood to refine the spiritual bow. In just three days, she completely mastered the spiritual bow and almost killed Jin Chengao.
Unfortunately, too much blood was lost, and Yan Hongxiu failed to make up for the last arrow, so he left first.
At that time, Su Li had speculated that this spiritual bow must be an ancestral inheritance of the Yan family, and the snow veins on Yan Hongxiu's body were probably very suitable for the spiritual bow. Otherwise, even with all the hard work, it would not be possible to make it in just three days. Completely master a killing weapon that is beyond one's own level of cultivation.
In this life, she asked Yan Hongxiu to choose the safer "blood refining method". Although the speed was a little slower, given time, Yan Hongxiu would definitely be able to regain the edge of his previous life.
"You died prematurely in your previous life and failed to shine in the martial arts world. Let me help you in this life. It can be regarded as a reward for your Yan family to wipe out the Jin family for me..."
In the warm night wind, white clothes are fluttering, and all kinds of fate are changing silently in the silence.
…
Early the next morning, Su Li's figure appeared in Wen Ruoli's yard.
"You want to go out for a walk?"
When Wen Ruoxi heard Su Li's words, she couldn't help but frown slightly, and couldn't help but worry: "Qinghe City has not been peaceful these days, and your classes have been delayed because of this, so you have a little free time. I don't object to you going out, but How to solve the security problem?”
"Thank you, Dean, for your concern."
Su Li looked confident and said harmoniously: "I also know my situation. I invited bodyguards from Tianya Pavilion to accompany me yesterday, and there are also Xiaowu Datian and others. I believe everything will be fine."
"The bodyguards at Tianya Pavilion are really powerful."
When Wen Ruoxi heard this, she immediately relaxed and a smile appeared on her face, "In the past six months, apart from going home, you have spent the whole day in the library. You should indeed go out for a walk. It happened that Dean Gong had just recovered from his illness and was visiting me. I'm busy going to class, so you can relax and relax without worrying about your schedule."
"Dean..."
A look of gratitude appeared on Su Li's face, "You are really lucky to meet Dean Wen. Dean, don't worry, I just went to Qinghe River to relax. I believe I will be back within a month."
"That's good. The scenery of Qinghe River is pretty good. You should go and see it."
Wen Ruoli chuckled and took out an amulet from her arms and gave it to Su Li, "This is the amulet I asked for from the temple. Take it and be safe on the road."
Su Li quickly retreated and said flattered, "How can this be done? Dean, just keep it to yourself."
"Just take it if you are told." Wen Ruoxi pretended to be unhappy, "What can happen if I stay in the academy? If you feel concerned, just return it to me when you come back. Take it with peace of mind."
Su Li hesitated for a moment, but finally listened to Wen Ruoxi's words, put the amulet close to her body, and was told about the trivial things to pay attention to on the way before being released from the yard.
In front of the school, Grandma Li was waiting by the carriage with a small bag. Xiao Wu and Da Tian were both excited, while checking whether there was enough food and grass for the horses.
Not long after, Su Li walked out of the school and saw Grandma Li and others waiting. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She had seen Wen Ruoxi's nagging skills. If she hadn't said that the carriage was waiting in front of the school, , I don’t know how long I will be pulled and ordered.
However, she did not feel bored by this level of verbosity. Instead, she felt a faint warmth lingering in her heart. If she had put it in her previous life, she would not have been shaken at all.
"Compared to when he was first reborn, he seems to be becoming more and more like a normal person. Is this good or bad..."
Su Li sighed softly, got on the carriage, and Xiao Wu immediately drove away from the school.
The carriage left Qinghe City, and Xiao Wu was about to ask Su Li where the so-called "guards" were when he saw the sound of horse hooves suddenly coming from behind him. In the blink of an eye, four horses followed him. There were three men and one woman on the horse, all of whom were wearing masks and couldn't see clearly. face.
This doesn't look like a guard at all, but more likely a killer!
Xiao Wu looked panicked and was about to turn around and run away when he heard Su Li's voice coming from behind, "Don't panic. The four of them are my escorts. Just continue on your way as usual."
Xiao Wu couldn't help but be startled when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look at the horse walking in the front. The young man's voice immediately came out from behind the mask, "You are now, and I will follow and protect you all the way."
Seeing him speaking out, Xiao Wu was finally sure that he was not a killer, and then an unprecedented sense of security hit his body. With four such powerful-looking people protecting him, there would definitely be no problem for them to return to their hometown!
After a whole day of driving, the official road was no longer behind the carriage. The mountain road between the dirt slopes was very rugged. It was difficult to see the road after dark, and the horses couldn't bear it. They could only clear a relatively flat open space. Take a night's rest for now.
Xiao Wu watched Fang Yuan and others move the stones easily and clear all the surrounding shrubs with ease. He couldn't help but secretly marveled. He was indeed a bodyguard of the Tianya Pavilion. The speed at which they cleared the camp was really professional.
Su Li sat on a stone and watched quietly, with a faint fluorescent light flowing in his eyes. Whether it was Fang Yuan, Qu Qingning, Fang Mu, or Yin Xuetong, they had all been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. Setting up camp was nothing more than marching. They are naturally very familiar with the basic skills.
It's not completely dark yet, Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning have already set up the tents, and Yin Xuetong and Fang Mu have also picked up bundles of firewood. After lighting the fire, the surrounding vision is suddenly lit up, and the firelight warms their faces. Very.
Xiao Wu took out the pot from the carriage and placed it on the fire, poured in water, and when it started to boil, put in the dried meat. Soon the aroma of meat wafted out of the pot. He first served a bowl to Su Li, and then walked up to Fang Yuan with the bowl in his hand.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work on the road, here you go!"
Seeing Xiao Wu's respectful expression with a hint of fear, Fang Yuan smiled slightly, took the soup bowl, lifted half of his mask and drank. Su Li didn't allow him to show his true face, so just showing his mouth was nothing, right
Qu Qingning and the other three immediately imitated the same, lifted up their masks and started drinking.
Xiao Wu stared at this scene dumbfounded. Why did these people not even take off their masks to eat? He also wanted to see what these four people looked like.
It was peaceful in the dark night, with only the crackling sound of burning firewood. After all, Xiao Wu, Da Tian and Grandma Li were ordinary people. After a hard day's work, after eating and drinking, they immediately felt so sleepy that their eyelids trembled. It didn't take long before they got into the tent and undressed to sleep.
After making sure that the three of them were asleep, Fang Yuan and others took off their masks to get some air. Su Li picked up the burning firewood with a branch, "How were the arrangements before we left?"
Qu Qingning glanced at the tent behind him and motioned to Yin Xuetong to speak. Yin Xuetong organized some words and whispered: "Everything has been explained. That girl is very panicked, but Luo Yichen is coming back soon, so I believe it won't happen." Something went terribly wrong."
Su Li said "hmm" and narrowed his eyes slightly, "You all come from aristocratic families with extraordinary backgrounds. Do you think... if Linliju wants to go to war with forces like the royal family of Southern Xinjiang in the future, what are the chances of winning?"
The four people were shocked when they heard this, with different expressions. Fang Yuan was the only one who didn't change his expression. He had already seen all kinds of magical things about Su Li, and this was not the first time he had seen Su Li's inexplicable ability to obtain secret information.
"Miss Su Li, you are not from the Southern Border Kingdom, how do you know that our enemy is the royal family?"
Fang Mu was still a little impulsive. Faced with Su Li's sudden question, he couldn't help but blurt out the question, "Could it be that eldest brother told you? No, eldest brother clearly told you..."
At this point, Fang Mu realized something and immediately stopped the second half of the sentence.
Su Li asked with great interest: "What did you tell me? Fang Mu, you are not a good boy even if you talk half of the story, what do you think?"
"Well… "
Fang Mu subconsciously looked at Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, this kid... is he sincerely trying to trick him
"You don't need to tell me, I can guess what the explanation is." Su Li said with a smile: "It's nothing more than hiding the royal family from me. After all, no matter how powerful I am, I will never offend a country for no reason. If If I find out, I will probably drive you away, right?"
Fang Mu's face suddenly turned pale, and Yin Xuetong's heart was also clenched, and she looked at Su Li nervously with her beautiful eyes.
They didn't expect that just one day after leaving home, their relationship with Su Li was on the verge of collapse.
Qu Qingning chuckled, with a rare coldness in his eyes. He shrugged and said, "Now that we have all shown our cards, Su Li, what are your thoughts on Southern Xinjiang?"
"I don't have any ideas." Su Li tilted her head, supported her arm on the stone, and held up half of her cheek. She spoke in a lazy tone as if she didn't pay attention to the serious atmosphere in front of her.
"You have people you have to deal with, and so do I. Moreover, the enemy forces are too powerful to face alone, and can only build forces to fight against them. So I never care about your origins, not because I knew it, but it was a deal in itself.”
Su Li said, scratching the branch on the ground and pointing at Fang Yuan, "You help me kill people, and in return, I will help you destroy the royal family of the Southern Border Kingdom. It's a fair deal, isn't it?"
The calm words passed through the hearts of the four people. Yin Xuetong and Fang Mu felt a chill in their hearts at the same time, as if they could smell the endless blood brewing under the words.
"No, that's not fair."
Fang Yuan's eyes were burning, looking at the girl who seemed not to care about heaven and earth, "But you have never mentioned your revenge, your hatred! How can we talk about fairness? Who is your enemy?"
