The night was already very late, and they didn't eat much. Gu Taijun and Qiu Meng went to have a rest one after another. Ling Qinglan temporarily rested in Ling Mansion tonight, and when people could sleep, he immediately got up and came to Ling Li's courtyard.
At this moment, the lights in the study room in Ling Li's courtyard were still on. Looking at the yellowish light, Ling Qinglan smiled on her face and pushed the door open.
"You are such a rare visitor, Ling Qinglan, more than half a year has passed, have you finally remembered that you are a member of the Hidden Demon Sect?"
Ling Li was lying on the wheelchair and said with a half-smile.
Ling Qinglan's expression remained unchanged as she sat down opposite Ling Li at the table and said seriously: "Although I'm not here, the news from Tianya Pavilion has never stopped, and I have never forgotten my responsibilities."
Ling Xian walked in at this time and poured Ling Qinglan a cup of hot tea.
"Warm yourself up. It's so late at night. After all, I'm also your cousin in name. I should care about you."
Ling Li stretched out his hand and made a move. Ling Qinglan couldn't help but smile and said, "You are still the same as before. No matter what the situation is outside, you always look nonchalant."
As he said this, he picked up the tea and brought it to his mouth. Ling Li's words rang out at an inappropriate time, "You are still the same. You are silent when there is a problem with the cold poison, and you let Su Qingtan take over the pending cases of your Yi family. Do you really think that you are still the same?" You are the owner of the Tianya Pavilion, so you can hide the news and not report it to me?"
Ling Qinglan stopped and was silent for a moment. Finally, she took a sip of tea, raised her head and said seriously:
"I'm not escaping, I'm just accepting the facts calmly. Why don't I want to personally find out the enemy who destroyed the Yi family, but God doesn't open his eyes, so I can only entrust others. Su Qingtan is very smart. Although he cannot succeed Qinghu, he is enough to continue Help me investigate the case at Dali Temple."
Ling Li sighed softly, "If you had come here and said this a year ago, I would definitely agree with your approach, but now... No! You want to help me get the Full Moon, how can you just let it go? ? During this period, even if you think about vomiting blood, you still have to come up with a perfect plan to snatch the full moon away from the group of jackals, tigers and leopards! And... "
Ling Li threw out a piece of paper, and Ling Qinglan took it and opened it. On it was a strange-shaped branch with the word "Ku Rong" attached to it.
"Use all the power of the Tianya Pavilion and find this branch no matter the cost. Your mission will be completed."
After listening to this, Ling Qinglan looked neither happy nor sad. After a long time, he stood up and nodded slightly: "I know, you saved me once, I will help you fulfill both of your requirements."
Ling Li smiled evilly, looked at the calm Ling Qinglan steadily, and suddenly asked: "Yimo, who am I to you?"
Ling Qinglan's eyes changed, and her expression finally became solemn.
He hadn't heard anyone say this name in thirteen years. Sure enough, once time passed, everything would become unfamiliar.
At first, he looked down upon Ling Li and despised him.
After learning his true identity, he was surprised and admired.
After Ling Li found a way to help him break through his innate nature and save his life, he felt grateful. Finally, when he learned that he still couldn't escape his fate, he became indifferent.
Who is Ling Li
He really hadn't thought about it.
The study became quieter and quieter, and Ling Li's question seemed difficult to answer. Ling Qinglan was silent for a long time, and finally failed to give an answer.
"Give me time and I will give you the answer."
After leaving a few words, Ling Qinglan left without looking back.
Ling Xian couldn't bear to see it and whispered: "Master, are you really not going to tell him? What if..."
Ling Li supported his chin with one hand and smiled casually: "If I can't even trust this kid, why should I be the leader of the Demon Cult?"
…
The next day, Su Li went out early in the morning, but did not go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Ling Li arranged for people to follow her secretly to protect her. He kept following her, but suddenly he found that he had lost track of her.
"what happened?"
A young man dressed as a salesman looked confused and did not see an ordinary woman wearing coarse linen clothes passing by him.
The people in Sha Lou all practiced the same technique. Su Li could tell at a glance that the people who had been following her around and secretly protecting them were the people in Sha Lou, so she didn't chase them away. If it were anyone else, she would have killed them long ago.
Today, she did not go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Yesterday, she was reading in Su Qingtan's study. She suddenly realized that the plan that was originally planned to be implemented later must be brought forward.
The forces in Yunjing City are complicated and complex, and the structure of Qinghe City is not as simple as that of Qinghe City. You can know the general situation with a little exploration.
In Yunjing City, if there were no spy spies or traitors infiltrating the city, it would be like a blind man, unable to grasp the situation at all, just like now she has no way of knowing how many forces including the Corpse Refining Sect, Hehuan Sect and other forces have entered the city.
So, she went to Hongyan Tower today!
Passing by a clothes shop, Su Li appeared again and turned into a handsome young man. He walked towards Yanliu Lane.
There were very few wealthy young men in Yanliu Lane who came to drink wine during the day, and it was even rarer for Su Li to be as good-looking as Su Li. As soon as she appeared, many prostitutes were waving handkerchiefs by the window.
"Uncle, come and play~"
"Young Master, I am very capable. I will keep it for you to make you feel comfortable..."
"Master~"
Su Li had a smile on her face, but never glanced at the prostitutes, and walked straight into the Hong Yan Tower, which was in the best position. When the prostitutes saw it, they started to make a fuss and stamped their feet.
"I went to see Qu Hu again. Every one of these men is really good!"
As soon as he entered the building, the old madam with his face painted red and white came up to him with a smile on his face. He smiled so hard that he said, "This young master is very cool. I'm afraid this is the first time he comes to our Hongyan Building! Do you want a slave?" Can you help introduce the girl in the building?"
Su Li stepped back a few steps without leaving any trace, and said with a warm smile: "I heard that in your house, Miss Quluqu's piano skills are outstanding. I came here because of her fame. I hope my mother can arrange something for me."
When the madam heard this, her eyes suddenly shone, she patted Su Li's shoulder lightly, winked and said, "Oh! Lu'er is the top brand in our store, and this price..."
Su Li's smile remained unchanged, "Mom, just ask."
Upon hearing this, the madam immediately ran upstairs and shouted: "Lu'er, we are here to receive a guest! There is a young man who wants to listen to your piano music. This is a rare and elegant guest."
"I know, mom, I'm going to make preparations right now, and I'd like to ask the young master to stay for a while."
There was a soft sound from upstairs, which was chilling to the bones. Many young dandies who had been drinking in the building during the day couldn't help but feel their hearts shuddering when they heard this, and Su Li was filled with jealousy.
As expected, that bitch Qulu not only cares about money, but also looks, what a pick!
Someone like him who has no money and is ugly has no chance at all.
Su Li showed good self-control and sat quietly downstairs without looking at the other prostitutes. After a while, a pretty maid came downstairs and invited Su Li to come upstairs. Su Li thanked her. , took a few steps up, and saw stars in the little maid's eyes, wishing she could transform into a young lady to serve the young master.
Walking to the door, Su Li knocked gently, and a fresh and elegant voice came from inside the door. It was completely different from the soft and soft voice before, "Young Master is a true gentleman. I should play a song for you. Please do as you like." House."
Su Li curled her lips and opened the door. A faint fragrance entered her nose, and what she saw was an extremely elegantly decorated room, as if the people living here were literati, not prostitutes.
The maid quietly closed the door. Su Li walked inside and finally saw Qu Lu sitting in front of the piano.
When Qu Lu saw Su Li's handsome face, he couldn't help being surprised. He released his hands from the strings and said, "It's hard to believe that a man with such an elegant temperament and extraordinary temperament would be willing to come here just for Qu Lu's music." Yanliu Lane has soiled his identity."
Su Li held the table and sat down, facing Qu Lu, she also chuckled and said, "It's hard for me to believe that a woman with such a pure heart like Miss Qu Lu would commit herself here."
When Qu Lu heard this, a look of sadness appeared on her beautiful face, "I am a good girl, but I was raped by an adulterer. This is my fate. Qu Lu resisted, but in the end I was no match for them."
After Su Li listened, the smile on his face became even bigger, and his right hand moved out to touch the invisible air, as if he was intoxicated. Qu Lu looked confused, but saw Su Li suddenly say: "Hehuan Sect's Hua Xin Powder is really powerful, even if This young master almost let down his guard and revealed his origins."
As soon as these words came out, Qulu's face suddenly changed, his expression was fierce, and there was no trace of the sadness of a weak woman.
She put one hand on the piano and stared at Su Li's face with cold eyes like lightning, "Who are you?!"
Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
Su Li clapped her hands gently, and the strings in Qu Lu's hands broke immediately, making it difficult to make any sound. The weapon was destroyed, and her face finally turned completely pale. The person who came had a very high level of cultivation, and she was no match at all.
"Qu Lu of Hehuan Sect. In charge of Yunjing City's intelligence agency, Hong Yan Tower is actually under your control. Am I right?"
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly and said these words faintly.
Qu Lu seemed to have given up resistance and sighed: "Since you are here prepared, why do you need to ask more questions?"
Just as he was speaking, the fragrance in the room suddenly became much stronger. Qu Lu watched Su Li's changes closely, but saw that the latter's expression remained as usual and was not affected at all.
How can it be? !
Qu Lu was really panicking this time. When did the poison given by the sect become so useless
"Since I came prepared, how could I not be on guard against the extremely famous Huansheng San of Hehuan Sect." Su Li stood up, walked to Qu Lu, and said with a smile: "Master Qu Xiang has been in Yunjing for a few years. Years old, why are you still so immature?"
Qu Lu took a deep breath and managed to calm down, "Since the young master is not in a hurry to kill me, he must have something important to discuss. Why hide it? Just say what you have to say."
"Miss Qu is so spirited!"
Su Li praised and sat down again, "I also know that Miss Qu had no choice but to join the Hehuan Sect. Even coming to Yunjing City was forced by the sect. The red dust in your body is always warning you that your life is at stake. It’s not in your hands, is it?”
Qu Lu looked blank, "It turns out that the young master is a disciple of the same sect. If so, why bother testing me? I have already accepted my fate."
Although the words she just deceived Su Li were false, the second half of her words was true. She... After all, she was still no match for the behemoth of the Hehuan Sect.
"No, when did I say that I was one of those scum from the Hehuan Sect?" A look of disgust appeared on Su Li's face, "Miss Qu, please don't compare me to those sluts, it's really disgusting."
Not from the Hehuan Sect
There was a slight change in Qu Lu's dull expression, and then he was deeply shocked. How could he know so many secrets of the Hehuan Sect despite not being a member of the Hehuan Sect? !
"Every sect has moles from other forces. Miss Qu shouldn't be surprised by this."
Seeing that she had completely shocked Qu Lu, Su Li finally stopped teasing and said seriously: "I wonder if Miss Qu is interested in making a deal with me."
Qu Lu's heart shrank, she knew the topic was coming.
"What deal?"
Su Libi pointed out a finger and smiled brightly, "The first one is to lend me Miss Qu's intelligence agency in Yunjing City. In response, I will give you the antidote of Hongchen Powder so that you will no longer be controlled by the Hehuan Sect. .”
"What about the second one?"
Qu Lun's eyes were slightly excited, but he did not agree.
Su Li's smile faded, "Qulu, you are really smart."
