Su Li and Su Qingtan turned around. The entire manor was so silent that you could hear a needle drop.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, and in front of the manor's gate, the crowded guests had different expressions, but they all unanimously moved out of the way, allowing Su Li to finally see who was coming.
I saw four sturdy men carrying a huge, brand-new black coffin and walking in with solid steps. The sound just now was the sound of the coffin falling to the ground.
Behind the coffin, followed a pair of richly dressed brother and sister. The boy was as gentle as jade, with smiling eyes, and the girl was charming and quirky. They were a pair of golden boys and girls.
However, the smiles of these two people placed behind the coffin will only make people feel cold and not feel any warmth.
"It's the young master's daughter of the Wu family!"
"Only the Wu family can deliver the coffin at the Ling family banquet!"
"This is a banquet hosted by His Majesty the Emperor. Isn't Young Master Wu a bit brave?"
"Hush! Silence!"
“…”
Su Qingtan and Wu Jin immediately blocked Su Li behind him. This man was not a playboy, but a talented student from the Chinese Academy of Martial Arts. Su Li's identity could not cure him, and he had heard Ling Qinglan say that this man was a woman. Huan, if he sees the second sister, there will definitely be unnecessary trouble!
Su Li gently put her hand on Su Qingtan's shoulder, revealing a pair of faint pupils, with a ray of red light flashing in the dark pupils.
Wu Jin!
In this life, I finally see you. I really don’t know how long you can live under my control in this life
Wu Jin didn't pay attention to Su Li's gaze. There were between a thousand and eight hundred people watching the show in front of the manor. There were so many eyes projected on him that he couldn't distinguish them all.
"Okay, let it go right here!"
Wu Jin gave an order, and four sturdy men immediately dropped the coffin. The coffin was extremely heavy and made a loud "bang" when it fell to the ground. After receiving the news, Ling Ping finally appeared in front of the lobby and saw the black wood. Coffin, his face finally turned completely gloomy.
"Wu Jin, do you really think that I won't dare to touch you as long as General Wu is protecting me?"
As Ling Ping spoke, an extremely tragic aura spread out from around him. It was the terrifying killing intent condensed from killing enemies on the battlefield!
The guests who were nearby were caught by the momentum, their faces turned pale in an instant, and they retreated far away. Su Li was also pulled by Su Qingtan and hid in the crowd, leaving a huge circle in the venue.
Wu Jin was the first to bear the brunt. His face was slightly pale, but he did not panic. Instead, he cupped his fists and said, "Brother Ling, why should you be angry? I thought about this gift for three full days before I came up with it. The coffin is the official, It’s wealth again! Both are things that bring fame and fortune. I congratulate my second brother on his promotion and fortune. Could it be that I am wrong?"
Before Wu Jin finished speaking, the girl hiding behind him immediately followed up and said: "Brother is absolutely right! Master Ling Er, my brother has good intentions. Even if you stand in front of His Majesty the Emperor, you can say it with reason. You Being so angry really chills my brother and I’s hearts!”
The clear and clear voice like an oriole, coupled with the girl's almost perfect and delicate face, actually made the atmosphere in the scene slightly relaxed. Many guests sighed secretly:
"Wu Xiuxiu! She really deserves the title of the most beautiful woman in front of Yunjing City!"
"It's a pity that another Su Li has come to Yunjing City. I heard that that person is really like a fairy. Although Wu Xiuxiu is beautiful, she is still an ordinary person and cannot be compared!"
Perhaps because the voice of the latter sentence was a little louder, Wu Xiuxiu suddenly turned her head and looked at the group of Binku who were whispering, her beautiful eyes full of gloom and anger.
Can you hear this
A group of guests shrank their necks and no longer dared to speak.
At this time, Ling Ping calmed down his momentum and his face returned to calmness, but his tone was still cold, "Master Wu, I accept it from my heart. Please take this coffin back, my Ling family can't use it."
Wu Jin clapped his hands after hearing this, with a face full of pity, and sighed: "What can we do? In order to give a gift to Brother Ling, I went to find out your height and measurements. This coffin is tailor-made for you. Others People...but no one can pretend to be."
As soon as these words came out, the place fell silent again, and many people were shocked. Wu Jin was clearly cursing Lingping to death on purpose! If they had encountered such a malicious congratulation, they would have become furious.
Ling Ping took a deep breath, expressionless, and pointed at the gate of the manor, "For Your Majesty's sake, I won't argue with you about the coffin. But if you dare to say anything offensive again, even if Your Majesty blames me, I will punish you." You kill me here!"
Wu Jin's pupils shrank and he laughed continuously: "Brother Ling, why should you be angry? Since you don't welcome me, I can just leave. But, this coffin..."
boom!
Before he finished speaking, Ling Ping struck out with a palm, and the wind from his palm blew along Wu Jin's face, causing pain, and finally fell on the coffin board. A solid wood coffin instantly turned into scattered sawdust, causing Wu Xiuxiu to scream in shock. Call.
Wu Jin covered his red right face and looked ugly.
Ling Ping smiled so brightly that his gleaming white teeth were revealed, "I taught you a lesson for your father with this slap. Remember it, so that you don't have to send your father a white-haired person to a black-haired person one day. It's so pitiful."
Wu Jin's eyes became more fierce when he heard this, but soon faded away, showing a smile and saying respectfully: "Thank you, Brother Ling, for your advice. Since Brother Ling does not welcome us brothers and sisters today, we will leave now."
After saying this, Wu Jin turned around and left.
"Brother, wait for me."
Wu Xiuxiu chased after her bitterly. Before leaving, she glanced at Su Li unexpectedly from the guests nearby. That face... was really prettier than hers!
Just looking at each other, Wu Xiuxiu panicked for no reason, as if there was a voice in her heart telling her that this was her number one enemy and must be eradicated as soon as possible!
"Wu Xiuxiu, your eldest brother has left. Is it possible that you want to stay and attend my banquet?"
Ling Ping's words suddenly came from behind her. Wu Xiuxiu trembled slightly. She didn't have time to think too much and immediately turned around and chased after Wu Jin who had already walked away.
The banquet returned to calm, but the atmosphere was not high. Everyone in the banquet was talking about the struggle between the Ling family and the Wu family. There was no hint of a blind date.
Furthermore, although the Ling family still has the support of Ling Ping, it is not as powerful as the Wu family, which is at its peak. After weighing the weight of the two families, there are many wealthy people who want to cling to the Ling family.
Ling Ping had never thought about getting married and having children, so he looked normal. After drinking with everyone for a while, he went to the inner hall, as if there were important guests there.
"It must be Lord Chen Gong."
Su Qingtan showed a regretful expression. Ling Qinglan was right, but she didn't say that he was qualified to go into the inner hall to meet his idol. This banquet was in vain.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. Since that gentleman is your idol, he is naturally of noble character. If fate comes in the future, we will have a chance to meet and talk."
Su Li comforted softly on the side, and Su Qingtan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Girl, don't you know who Mr. Chen Gong is? His appearance is noble, but he is by no means an easy person to get along with. I just want to see him from a distance. As for meeting him and talking to him, let’s forget it.”
Su Li responded without saying much, becoming more and more curious about who Chen Gong was.
The banquet broke up at midnight.
Su Qingtan went back home with regrets, but did not see Chen Gong coming out of the manor gate until the end.
Early the next morning, Su Li came to the Pangfu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There was still no one in the Pangfu. In fact, as a lecturer of the Pangfu, seeing such a situation, he ordered the Chinese Academy of Sciences to notify all the families, and even threatened them that if they didn't come, they would be killed. Those dandies were expelled from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but she didn't do that.
She is not that senior brother. There are not so many new medicines to experiment with, and the dandies are not coming. She is happy to be quiet, hiding in the alchemy room of the side house, refining medicine, and practicing. She is comfortable, so why bother herself.
"It's just that after so many days, haven't Fang Yuan and the others entered the city yet?"
Su Li frowned slightly. Adding up the time spent on the road, a month had passed. Fang Yuan and the others did not have the burden of the Su family's carriage, so they had to hurry up and get to Yunjing in such a short time. Why did it take so long
Although it was strange, Su Li was not too worried. She had already told the three of them about the Hehuan Sect. If it was still in the hands of the Hehuan Sect, it could only be due to fate, and no one else should be blamed.
After a day of meditation, Su Li returned home as usual. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the street with splendor, which was really pleasing to the eye.
"There seem to be fewer people on the streets today than in the past..."
Su Li opened the car curtain and took a look outside.
Suddenly!
The car body shook, and it accelerated instantly and drove into the dark alley next to it. Su Li had noticed it earlier, and immediately jumped out of the window, rolled around like a gourd, and before he could stand still -
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Six cold arrows shot from different directions, blocking all evasive angles in the blink of an eye.
Su Li's pupils shrank, and a dagger slipped out of his sleeve with a flick of his sleeve. He swung the sword to deflect three of the arrows, then immediately jumped away and fled deeper down the alley.
At the same time, the innate spiritual consciousness spread quietly like mercury, and the nine killers in the darkness immediately had nowhere to hide.
Nine acquired nine levels!
With her cultivation, it only took a moment to deal with these people, but she couldn't do that. She wasn't sure if there were other eyes watching this scene. If she really took action, it was very likely that her true identity would be exposed. That's the real danger.
The killer leader who was hiding in the street outside couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Su Li fleeing inside.
Although this yellow-haired girl has an acquired eighth-level cultivation, she has very little combat experience. She actually took the initiative to escape to a place with few people, which really saved them their worries.
Whoosh whoosh!
In his mind, the killer leader waved his hand, and the other eight killers immediately spread out and ran into the dark alley with murderous intent.
With his innate spiritual awareness, Su Li knew the terrain very well. He could always detect the arrival of killers and avoid them in advance. When he saw the nine killers scurrying around in the alley like headless flies, Su Li was not too happy.
She had just noticed that the structure of this alley was simple, with only eight exits in total. If these killers searched all over, she would definitely be discovered.
What should I do
Suddenly, another person appeared in Su Li's spiritual consciousness at the corner of the dark alley. There were no masked killers in black around him. This person looked to be over forty years old. He was dressed in a very shabby blue cloth, with a piece of the mask torn off at the corner of his clothes. On his face, it was obvious that he had just come in and was masked, so he was not the same person as the nine people.
"what happened?"
Su Li frowned slightly. She could clearly see that this person's cultivation level was at the peak of the day after tomorrow. It was impossible not to realize that this was a killing trap. How could he come into the alley and get into this muddy water by himself
Seeing that the man was getting closer and closer to her hiding place, Su Li only thought for a few breaths and took the initiative to breathe louder.
Sure enough, when the man heard this, his eyebrows lit up with joy and he immediately rushed towards Su Li.
Su Li's eyes were cold, and one hand quietly held the hilt of the dagger...
