"Brother, it's really not what you think. I'm living a good life now. This... was injured by a thief."
After Su Li explained, Su Qingtan stood aside in confusion. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for more than a year, it was not only him who had changed greatly, but also his second sister and the entire Su family.
Ling Qinglan had no time to pay attention to Su Qingtan and Yan Shixun who were dazed on the side. He gently untied the gauze wrapped around Su Li's left arm, revealing long scabbed blood marks.
Su Qingtan's heart trembled as she saw such a long and deep wound, how painful it must be.
Su Li turned her head away and bit her lip lightly, but a flash of thought flashed through her eyes. She was recalling whether she had missed anything. Although she had scratched herself and cut herself at that time, she also noticed the direction of the hook. , even a coward wouldn’t be able to spot the clues.
But this Ling Qinglan... should not be underestimated!
"Such a young innate master, and his surname is Ling..."
Su Li recalled the masters around him that Ling Li had mentioned in his previous life. They all matched up and found a character that matched the young man in front of him. That is the strategist of the Yinmo Sect. Like the master of Shalou, he is Gongzili's right-hand man. He is also known as Qinghu, and his name also has the character "qing".
However, she still needs to test whether these two people are the same person. After all, Ling Qinglan is from Dali Temple.
Su Li thought of Su Qingtan again, and her heart sank. After her eldest brother entered Yunjing, he was bound to be involved in disputes, but she did not expect that before she left Qinghe County, Su Qingtan would see muddy water flowing in.
After some investigation, Ling Qinglan did not come to any conclusion and left Su Qingtan directly behind, while she and Yan Shixun went out to continue the investigation.
"You are involved in this case. You are here as a family visit. You are not allowed to interfere."
Hearing Ling Qinglan's instructions, Su Qingtan's eyes darkened. This was his first case after becoming the minister of Dali Temple, but the Su family was indeed involved. Even his father was still imprisoned in the county magistrate's prison. He was indeed not suitable to continue. Check it out.
"It turns out that Daddy also changed your name, Su Li. It sounds much better than before."
"Yes, brother, my family treats me very well. By the way, my mother also gave birth to a fifth sister, who is here with me..."
“…”
Aunt Li watched the two of them talking and laughing outside the door. She couldn't help but secretly wiped her tears. It was great to have the eldest young master back. Although the young lady has a lot of power secretly, she can't use it openly. The eldest lady and the others have to suffer the bullying they deserve. But with the eldest young master here, it's completely different.
After chatting with Su Li for a long time and coaxing Su Li to sleep, Su Qingtan turned cold, came to the door and called Nanny Li into the room next to her, "Nanny Li, tell me, this How the second sister has lived for more than a year, don’t hide anything!"
"Young Master, the second lady has been really suffering this year! She almost died several times..."
Nanny Li turned to Su Li in her heart and immediately vented her bitterness to Su Qingtan. Everything really happened. However, she also consciously concealed Su Li's other identity and did not mention it at all.
The more Su Qingtan listened, the darker her face became. Although Grandma Li's words are subjective, there are some things that don't need to be checked. You can know everything clearly by just asking. Moreover, the second sister is of high status now. Tianya Pavilion should have her file. If you really can't find it, go there. You will know after you buy it.
"boom!"
When she heard Aunt Li say that Su Cui and Zhu Yan had joined forces to slander Su Li, she almost sent Su Li to the government to dip a pig cage, but Su Huanli turned a blind eye. Su Qingtan slammed the table hard, her eyes turning red.
He didn't understand why the family was so targeting the second sister, and even wanted to put the second sister to death! The second sister is obviously so kind and innocent, but even if she is treated like this, she still thinks about her family. She even takes risks to test the enemy for her father's sake, and almost dies at the hands of the enemy.
"I was born in the Su family. They are the elders. I can't do anything, but now that I'm back..." Su Qingtan's eyes flashed coldly, "Mr. Su Cui, Zhu Yan, and Su Zipei, how could you touch the second sister's hair with your cultivation!"
…
However, it was said that Ling Qinglan went out of the city to investigate the case alone, and soon changed her clothes and appeared in the secret room of Tianya Pavilion, with a middle-aged guard by her side.
After reading the file about Su Li that was handed over, a look of deep thought flashed across Ling Qinglan's face.
Su Li's life experience is very innocent. As for the suffering she suffered in the past and why the Su family hates her, the reasons are unclear. When Su Li was still Su Erya, she was simply an insignificant person and not worth it. Tianya Pavilion spends manpower and material resources to collect intelligence.
"Since Su Li has no problem, it is not good news that someone from the Corpse Refining Sect really appears in Qinghe City."
Ling Qinglan frowned, then casually took the robe handed over by the middle-aged guard and put it on.
Although he is in the innate realm, his health is not good. Ling Li spent countless amounts of heaven and earth treasures to build this innate state in order to compete with the cold poison in his body. However, the cold poison is growing at a rate that increases every year. Increasingly…
He did not tell Ling Li this news.
Maybe there is a price to pay for any talent in this world. He got a brain that even Ling Li couldn't match, but he paid for it with his health.
"Master, there were traitors in the church before in Qinghe County. Although the people of Killing Building have purged them, many files have been lost because of this. Among them are the ones about the Corpse Refining Sect stronghold. My subordinates are not doing things well. Please punish me, Master!"
Looking at the middle-aged scribe kneeling on the ground shivering, Ling Qinglan reacted indifferently and said indifferently: "Go down and receive the punishment yourself. As for what level of punishment you receive, it is up to you."
After repelling the branch library owner, Ling Qinglan fell into deep thought for a long time. The middle-aged guard filled the table with files related to Qinghe City with gentle hands, then walked out and closed the door curtain, leaving Ling Qinglan alone.
"Ahem..."
I don't know how long it took, but there was a cough in the room. The middle-aged guard immediately rushed in nervously holding a pill bottle, only to see Ling Qinglan holding a file and laughing wantonly.
"Linliju? There is a mysterious force in Qinghe City that even Tianya Pavilion cannot investigate! Interesting, haha, interesting, cough cough..."
Seeing Ling Qinglan coughing again, the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and poured him a black pill that exuded a strong fragrance.
Ling Qinglan took a mouthful and swallowed it, and then calmed down her cough. She shook her head in annoyance and said: "This sick body is really useless."
The middle-aged guard shook his head slightly in silence, remembering that before his master could break through his innateness, he would vomit blood every day and almost count the days until he died. The situation now is much better.
"Come on, come with me to Linli Residence to have a look."
Ling Qinglan said hello, took off her thick robe, opened the door and walked out.
…
At this moment, Lili was in the middle. Su Li put on the clothes of "Mr. Li" and stared at the long dark night.
If Ling Qinglan was the green fox, she would definitely be interested in Linli Residence after going to Tianya Pavilion. She was waiting, and she knew she wouldn't wait long.
Even Su Qingtan couldn't violate the rules of Qinghe Girls' School. What's more, Su Qingtan was originally from Qinghe School, so she couldn't ruin the reputation of the school, so she moved out this afternoon and only came to visit very diligently. So at night, Su Li's time was quite free.
"Su Li, that Ling Qinglan is here."
Qu Qingning came up to inform, Su Li nodded slightly, and he immediately went down to greet him. Not long after, Ling Qinglan came to the attic and sat opposite Su Li with a smile on her face.
He finally understood why nothing could be found in the Tianya Pavilion. There were only ordinary waiters along the way who had not changed their appearance. Their faces with slightly auras were covered with a thin layer of disguise. With his innate vision, he could see it at a glance. .
They are all disguised faces, and no matter how much investigation, it is impossible to find out their backgrounds, not to mention whether the owner of Linli Residence, "Mr. Li", is a boy or a woman. Although Tianya Pavilion's judgment is that it is a woman, he cannot tell the truth. letter.
"I am Ling Qinglan. I am a late graduate and have met Mr. Li."
Ling Qinglan's movements are gentle and elegant, and she never leaves her hand with the folding fan. She can be called the best young master in the world.
Su Li smiled slightly, and for the sake of caution, she controlled "Yin Xiangji" and replied: "Master Ling is being humble. If the most outstanding crime-solving expert in Dali Temple is also a laggard, I am afraid that he can be called an outstanding person in this world." It’s all gone.”
"Hahaha, Mr. Li is indeed well-informed."
When her identity was revealed, Ling Qinglan did not panic at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "I heard someone said that there is an excellent winery in Qinghe City. When I came over to take a look, it turned out to be very good."
While saying polite words, Ling Qinglan's heart sank slightly. The voice just now didn't seem to be human. He couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. With his knowledge, it was not difficult to guess that the person in front of him must have used... What method can you use to communicate with others without using your own voice
Tricky!
The second time Ling Qinglan felt that the person in front of her was difficult. The first time she felt it was when she met Ling Li. Moreover, he was in poor health and mentally weak at that time, and was far less calm than he is now.
"Mr. Li" is indeed not an easy person to deal with!
Thinking like this, Ling Qinglan continued: "Sir, don't you think you have violated a taboo?"
"Oh? What's the taboo?"
Su Li's expression was indifferent, "'Li' is just a random word taken from the word "Li" in the winery. It has no other meaning. Is it possible that this will offend people?"
Ling Qinglan looked at Su Li, whose face was covered with a veil, with burning eyes. Her fingers slightly grasped the edge of the chair, leaned forward, and said in a low voice:
"'Mr. Li' reminds me of the feared Demon Cult leader 'Gongzi Li' in the world. Could it be that... 'Mr. Li' has some ulterior relationship with that leader?"
"Kekeke..."
Su Li suddenly laughed so hard that her branches trembled, and her weird and unarguable voice made people's hair stand on end.
"If this is true, it would be really big news in the martial arts world."
Su Li replied in a low voice, and then said with a smile: "What a pity... Shouldn't Mr. Ling know best whether the little girl has anything to do with the leader?"
Ling Qinglan's pupils immediately shrank for a moment, but her expression did not change. She still smiled and said: "What is Mr. Li talking about? Why can't I understand this? How can such a high-ranking leader be touched by me?"
"You can't touch Mr. Ling Qinglan, because there are still green foxes."
Su Li's tone was cold, and Ling Qinglan's heart shrank violently. Does this person know his true identity, or is he just guessing? !
Although Ling Qinglan tried her best to keep her expression unchanged and even her breathing normal, the shock in her mood still affected the only variable.
"Ahem..."
The next moment, he gently covered his mouth and coughed, and reluctantly responded: "Mr. Li is really good at making jokes. He really scared the young boy."
