When Ling Ping and Ling Qinglan returned to the Ling family's seat, they naturally received congratulations from the two women of the Ling family.
"Ping'er, good job! You didn't disgrace my Ling family!"
The ancient Taijun was very relieved. Qiu Meng burst into tears with excitement and hugged Ling Ping's arm tightly.
Ling Ping grinned and did not mention the assassination. Instead, he walked up to Ling Li and threw the dead branch to him without saying a word.
Ling Li stared blankly at the thing in his hand and couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, why don't you ask what this branch is for?"
Ling Ping laughed and said: "What brother Li wants, how can I not give him a gift? If you want to say something, you will tell me. If you don't want to say it, my brother will not ask more questions. You and Qinglan... both He has grown up."
Ling Li looked moved, and there was an impulse in his heart, wanting to reveal everything he had secretly planned over the years, but before this impulse could turn into action, Ling Ping was hit on the head by the ancient Taijun. .
"You kid, you got carried away when you got a leader?! You are only twenty-one years old, and it is the age to work hard to make progress. How can you come up with so many old and eighty-year-old arguments!"
Ling Ping smiled coquettishly. He didn't dare to argue with grandma, "Grandma, let's go home. If we don't leave early, the road will be very congested."
"You kid..."
After laughing and cursing, the ancient Taijun returned home with the support of Qiu Meng. Her grandson was the leader. She couldn't tell how happy she was in her heart, and her steps were much brisker.
"Brother Ling, you are truly a role model for our generation!"
Tang Lei was also infected by the atmosphere and kept flattering Ling Ping as he walked behind. Su Li walked aside with a faint smile on her face. This way, she was worthy of her end.
The carriage was delivered to Guoxue Pangfu, and Su Li got off.
"Xiao Li'er, if you have time, you might as well come to Ling Mansion and chat with me. I heard that you are also very good at cooking. I want to ask you for advice." Qiu Meng held Su Li's hand and refused to let go. Su Li smiled softly, "Aunt Meng, you're welcome. I'll come and bother you when you have time."
Su Li felt helpless. Qiu Meng insisted on calling her "Aunt Meng." She knew exactly what this woman had in mind, but it was just a title, but there was no reason to refuse.
During the autumn hunting trip, no one from Tang Xiangfu was seen, but the relationship with Lingfu became too close, which was really unplanned. However, it is an unexpected blessing to get the branches of the withered tree, but it is the Lijue Pill...
Su Li frowned, turned around and entered the side house.
The medicinal materials left for her by her senior brother were probably going to be used up, and the people from the Hidden Demon Cult would really cause trouble for her.
Ling Mansion.
Ling Li slowly returned to the courtyard with the branches of the withered tree. Ling Mo and Ling Xian had been waiting here. Seeing Ling Li's frown, the two looked at each other and immediately stepped forward to push the wheelchair.
"Master, what is this?" Ling Mo couldn't help but ask when he saw the thing in Ling Li's hand. He took a closer look and his expression immediately changed, "Master, could it be..."
"Yes, these are the branches of the withered tree."
Ling Li replied and put the branch on the table. His whole body was shocked. The nine silver needles that were pierced into his waist immediately flew out and were nailed to the wall, three-quarters of the way into the wood.
"Hiss..."
Reluctantly standing up, Ling Li took a breath, his legs were so numb and he felt so sore.
"Master, you are so advanced now that you don't need to rely on acupuncture to maintain the illusion, so why bother asking for trouble." Ling Mo suppressed his laughter and couldn't help but persuade.
In the past, when the young master's cultivation was not yet innate, he relied on acupuncture to cut off the muscles and veins, making the doctors think that his legs were really useless. It's just that the acupuncture method is convenient to use, but if it lasts for more than seven days, the legs will really become useless.
Now that Ling Li's cultivation has reached its innate perfection, although the nine needles will not destroy his cultivation, he still cannot avoid the numbness in his legs caused by the unsmooth muscles and meridians.
He tried to stand up and circulate his true energy for a while. The numbness quickly subsided. Ling Li shook his head and said: "Be careful and sail the ten thousand year ship. You still have to do what you need to do. The reward of this year's Autumn Hunting Conference is this thing. If Brother Ling wins the title, I will come over."
Ling Xian's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said, "Such a coincidence? Could it be that the Dongfang family is deliberately testing this."
"I have thought about it, but if even the withered tree is leaked..." Ling Li took a deep breath, his eyes cold, "Then the sect will definitely need to be 'cleaned'."
Ling Xian and Ling Mo both felt shocked when they heard this. The last time the Hidden Demon Sect was purged was when the young master just took over the sect.
"And Ling Qinglan, Ling Xian, you should go check it out recently and see what he is up to."
Ling Xian cast a blessing and said, "Yes, young master."
…
At the same time, Ling Qinglan and Ling Ping came to Ling Ping's yard together. The two looked at each other, and then they laughed out loud in unison, and their voices were very happy.
"If one survives, there will be future fortunes!"
Ling Ping slapped Ling Qinglan's rather thin shoulder heavily, and changed his address to Ling Li, "Brother Lan, don't worry and go see Mr. Na Li, he will definitely have a way to cure you."
Ling Qinglan didn't have much hope in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "Then I'll take the good advice from my second brother."
It is easiest to see the true feelings at the moment of life and death. Although Ling Qinglan is good to her grandma and mother, she knows people but not her heart. He has too little contact with Ling Qinglan, and his impression of Ling Qinglan is just that of a "weak cousin with a dull temper". ".
But today's experience obviously allowed him to see Ling Qinglan clearly and let him know that this is a good brother who is truly worthy of entrusting his life.
"By the way, take all these things."
Ling Ping suddenly remembered something, handed the Hongyuan Sword and the booklet to Ling Qinglan, and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Na Li's help this time, I wouldn't be able to get the leader. You can hand these two to Mr. Li. "
The Ling family has always been upright and unwilling to take advantage of others. Ling Ping's behavior was expected by Ling Qinglan. He smiled and put away the two things without looking at the contents of the ancient book. "Second brother, I will definitely bring arrive."
"Okay! You are tired today, why don't you just rest here?"
Ling Ping suggested. Ling Qinglan remembered that she had not taken care of Su Qingtan for three days, and quickly waved her hands and said, "No, there are still a lot of things that have not been dealt with in Dali Temple. I have to go back quickly. I will come to stay for a while."
"In this case, I won't keep you."
Ling Ping nodded and looked at the direction in which Ling Qinglan left quickly. This boy did not go to talk to Li Di. He had previously entrusted him to say "I'm sorry" to Li Di.
He couldn't help but scratch his head and said to himself: "When did these two silly boys have a conflict?"
Ling Qinglan did not go to Ling Li's yard because he did not dare. His current state was like broken porcelain, relying entirely on the pill given by "Mr. Li" to maintain his form. If Ling Li accidentally saw something, he was not sure what Ling Li would do in his rage. Will Su Qingtan be killed with one sword
Hurrying back to Dali Temple, Ling Qinglan checked the traces of the formation and found that no one had touched it. Su Qingtan was still practicing in meditation, but the ice in the secret room had partially melted away.
After re-decorating the secret room with cold poison, Ling Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, changed into clean clothes, found the piece of tissue paper with blood characters from the dirty clothes and burned it to ashes, a faint look of expectation flashed in her eyes.
If you can avoid death, who would want to die...
That night, Ling Qinglan was completely sleepless. In the morning, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, he put on a disguise and walked alone to the address written on the tissue paper.
Pedestrians were very deserted in the morning, and you could occasionally see one or two pedestrians. When you walked to the tissue paper alley, you couldn't see half a person.
It's not even Mao hour (five o'clock in the morning) yet, so it's really too early.
Ling Qinglan smiled bitterly and suddenly saw a high-rise building protruding from the bungalow.
Liliju!
There is actually a Liliju in Yunjing City
A look of surprise appeared in Ling Qinglan's eyes. Tianya Pavilion had not found this place because the alleys here were too remote. In addition, Linli Residence did not deliberately promote it, so it was far less famous than in Qinghe County.
Standing at the door of Linli Residence, Ling Qinglan hesitated for a moment and then knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, he only knocked once and the door opened with a creak.
The person who opened the door was an ordinary waiter. Ling Qinglan saw no trace of disguise. It seemed that Linliju in Yunjing City was different from the one in Qinghe City. At least this waiter did not really belong to Linliju.
"Come in, sir, the shopkeeper has given the order. There will be a guest coming this morning. You can just go to the top floor."
"Thank you!"
Ling Qinglan nodded and thanked, and the waiter was immediately flattered. It was strange that a young man dressed so luxuriously would say thank you to a pariah like him.
On the way upstairs, Ling Qinglan didn't see a single person, but it wasn't business hours yet so it was normal for there to be no one around. Looking around, he saw the extremely eye-catching wooden sign for drinks at a glance, and the price on it made him take a deep breath.
Not only has the price of wine increased, it has also increased dramatically!
One hundred thousand taels of wine
No matter how obsessed with wine tasting is a good wine drinker, it’s impossible to buy it, right
Even if he had money, he wouldn't spend it like this.
Going up to the top floor, what Ling Qinglan saw was still the pavilion with windows on all sides. The layout was exactly the same as that in Qinghe County.
The cold wind blew in the early morning, and the cold poison in Ling Qinglan's body was drawn away, causing her face to turn pale and weak.
But at this moment, a pot of wine suddenly appeared in front of him, and the voice of "Mr. Li" sounded at the right time, "Drink and see."
Ling Qinglan looked up and realized that Su Li had appeared at the table. At this moment, his perception of Su Li was different. The first meeting in Qinghe County gave him a frightening and mysterious impression; the second time they met, In Dali Temple, Mr. Li's image in his mind was more mysterious and profound.
The third time, Northwest Hunting Ground.
Mr. Li appears from nowhere and kills everything! While he admired them, he also felt a sense of closeness to Mr. Li. It seemed that this mysterious "Mr. Li" was not just a mysterious guest watching indifferently, but was vaguely paying attention to them and helping them.
With a sigh of relief, Ling Qinglan raised his head and took a sip of wine, without worrying about whether the wine was poisonous. However, the spiciness of the wine was far beyond his imagination, which immediately made him cough violently.
"Hahaha… "
Su Li's hearty laughter echoed in the pavilion. Ling Qinglan coughed and smiled. This time she was really embarrassed in front of "Mr. Li".
Um
Soon, he found that the drink in his stomach actually caused a wave of warmth, suppressing the cold poison in his body, and the speed was not much slower than the pill he had taken.
This wine has such an effect!
Ling Qinglan marveled in her heart, and Su Li's teasing voice came to her ears, "This wine is the puree of strong fire wine, and its value is more than 50,000 taels. By the way...are you going to stand chatting with me all the time?"
Ling Qinglan suddenly woke up and sat down opposite Su Li with some restraint. He had been the deputy leader of the Hidden Demon Sect for nearly ten years, but now he felt like he was restrained when facing Su Li.
"Please accept these two things, Mr. Li."
Ling Qinglan took out the Hongyuan Sword and the ancient booklet and put them on the table, "Second Brother Ling and I both felt that these two things should belong to Mr. Li. As for the dead tree branch, the teacher asked him to bring it over and asked Mr. Li to Haihan.”
"It's okay, just hold out your hand and I'll see how many days you have left to live."
Su Li didn't seem to care. She knocked on the table, and Ling Qinglan stretched out her wrist as instructed. She couldn't be more obedient. Even in front of Ling Li, he had never shown such an obedient expression.
Maybe... this can be considered a benefit unique to doctors
