The Barren Mountain Villa was the first decision Ling Li made from the day he took over as the leader of the church. It has been nearly ten years now. The scale of the Barren Mountain Villa has also been expanded several times, and many people have been emptied. There is a mountain in the middle, connected by exquisite mechanisms, which is called the source of talents for the Hidden Demon Sect.
After turning another corner, the entrance to the courtyard was clearly in sight. Ling Li took out the jade bone mask from his arms and put it on.
Even within the Hidden Demon Cult, only a few high-level officials know his true identity.
"Hail, Master!"
"Hail, Master!"
As soon as he arrived at the door, two black figures immediately appeared from both sides and knelt down. Su Li followed Ling Li and took a look at their identities. They were elite killers who killed the building.
Ling Li began to take Su Li to see various methods used by the Hidden Demon Cult to cultivate talents. With Ling Li's identity at the front, Su Li would naturally have a smooth journey.
There are only two sets of standards for testing talents. Loyalty is the premise, one is talent, and the other is will. This is similar to the secret land where she lives. However, after all, the Hidden Demon Cult has a long history and a variety of methods. Take a look at it along the way. It actually benefited her a lot, and she was going to move some of her means to her home in Lili when she got back.
No outsider has ever come in to the Barren Mountain Villa. Su Li is clearly not a member of the sect in what he is wearing at this moment. Seeing how attentive his leader is, they all look at Su Li strangely. Some of them even communicate with each other with high level of cultivation and gossip. Again and again.
"Could it be that she is... the future wife of the leader
"Then what should the saint do?"
"Well... I heard that as long as you are sufficiently detached, you can eavesdrop on the sound transmission."
"Hiss... It's better for us to avoid offending the leader's private matters."
Immediately afterwards no one dared to send a message.
Ling Li's cultivation level has not yet reached the realm of immortality, so he is not yet capable of intercepting other people's transmissions and eavesdropping. At this moment, he has brought Su Li to a beautifully decorated stone room deep in the courtyard. As the leader of the sect, Ling Li naturally has a separate residence in each stronghold in the sect.
The two sat down, and Ling Li personally made a cup of tea for Su Li. Whether it was in the past life or in this life, he never left out the wine, tea and food.
The fragrance of tea lingered, and Su Li watched Ling Li's coherent and smooth movements quietly. He still liked to play with the art of tea as in his previous life, but the only things he could play with in his previous life were wild tea leaves that he personally picked from the mountains, but in this life, they are carefully cultivated by tea farmers. Excellent tea.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Ling Li calmed down for a moment and finally spoke. Although he tried his best to remain calm, Su Li still saw that he was a little weird.
Indeed, Ling Li today was different from usual, too enthusiastic. Every secret place of sect power is more secretive than the chief helm. He actually brought me here without saying a word. What does this mean
Could it be that he wants me to join the Hidden Demon Cult, or...
Su Li frowned slightly, "You couldn't have lost Man Yuexian's heart, right?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Ling Li's eyes widened and he almost spit out a mouthful of tea. Although he held it back, he still choked and coughed non-stop. The courage he had just mustered up was completely destroyed by Su Li.
Seeing his huge reaction, Su Li's expression was full of surprise, "I just said it casually, didn't I really lose it?"
What a casual statement!
Ling Li's heart was so congested that he wanted to vomit blood. Without saying anything, he took out the glass bottle from his sleeve and put it on the table. The heart of the full moon is so important, and it is even more important for Su.
He always carefully kept the things Li needed close to him.
"Take it and Ling Qinglan's account will be settled!"
Su Li took the glass bottle that still had body temperature, her heart slightly rippled, but she quickly suppressed it, put it away calmly, and said: "Thank you for your help last time with Prince Rui's Mansion. After all, you still owe me I make an unconditional request, and everything will be settled between us."
Listening to such a cold transactional tone, Ling Li lowered his eyes and said in a complicated tone: "Do you have to make the relationship between us so clear?"
"Then what does Master Ling want?"
Su Li lowered her eyes with a calm expression, but her heartbeat speeded up by half a beat unconsciously, and a strange emotion grew in her heart.
"I… "
Ling Li said a word, and the rest of it seemed like a stone was stuck in his throat.
talk!
Ling Li, if you don’t tell me now, then when!
can not say!
If you are rejected, where will you put your face? !
Two consciousnesses seemed to appear in his mind, constantly entangled. Ling Li pursed his lips, and his hands hidden under the table slowly squeezed his knees, but he could no longer say a word.
A hint of obscure self-deprecation flashed across Su Li's face.
In this life, what are you still expecting
"Master Ling, since I have got the things, I will not disturb Master Qingxiu. Su Li will leave now." Su Li said in a calm voice, put down the tea cup gently, turned around and left without hesitation.
But at this moment, Ling Li suddenly raised his head, and a calm and firm voice suddenly sounded from the room.
"Su Li! Are you willing... to be my leader's wife?"
…
Wu Binchu stood in front of the door of the Guoxue Mansion and looked at the direction Su Li left in the morning, feeling slightly worried. It's been a long time, and even a Man-Han banquet is familiar to me. Why hasn't the lady come back yet
Although the third young master of the Ling family is a bastard, he will definitely not dare to mess around when Mrs. Qiu is at home. What is delaying her
It was not yet the end of class, and the road in front of the Guoxue Pangfu was empty, with only a few or two pedestrians. Suddenly Wu Bin's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the man in a bamboo hat walking straight towards the Guoxue Pangfu.
"Stop! This is the important place of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. All the rest of us are waiting to get out!"
The guard at the door immediately scolded the man in the bamboo hat, and the man in the bamboo hat raised his eyes a little, revealing his face. Wu Bin saw a slight change in his expression behind him, and quickly asked people to step back, and welcomed the man in the bamboo hat into the Guoxue side mansion.
Entering the school in the front room, the man in the bamboo hat took off his hat, revealing a young face. He was the fourth prince of Tianji Kingdom, Tantai Yu.
"After the auction retreated, all the forces had withdrawn from Yunjing City. Unexpectedly, Prince Tantai was still there."
Wu Bin said respectfully, with a somewhat guarded expression. The prince of Tianji Kingdom has a distinguished status, so he must be treated with caution, but how did he come to the place where the young lady lives, and how did the young lady get involved with the prince of Tianji Kingdom
Tantai Yu looked at Wu Bin's defensive expression and immediately smiled and said, "Butler Wu, don't be nervous. I came here today to say goodbye to Su Li."
Wu Bin hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and asked: "May I ask, Your Highness, you and the young lady..."
Tantai Yu shook his head and said, "Since she didn't say anything, I can't deny her intention. If you want to know, just ask her in person."
Speaking of this, Tantai Yu sighed and laughed at himself: "It seems that she doesn't want to see me again, so... this sword is just
I'd like to thank Butler Wu for passing it on. "
Tantai Yu stretched out his hand, and Wu Bin noticed the sword in his hand, and couldn't help but look surprised. It was the cold wind sword worth tens of millions at the auction!
"this… "
Wu Bin showed hesitation. If he rashly accepted something that the lady was willing to accept, it would be a sin.
"Don't worry, this is just a meeting gift I gave her, it has no other meaning."
Tantai Yu explained with a smile, put the long sword gently on the table, and was about to leave. His figure actually felt a bit desolate.
Wu Bin looked unbearable and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, wait a minute! It's not that the lady doesn't want to see you today, but she went to the Ling Mansion as a guest early in the morning to prepare snacks with the Ling family's wife. If you really want to see the lady, why not come again? And so on."
Tantai Yu paused slightly and turned around with a hint of gratitude on his face, "Thank you, Butler Wu, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"Your Majesty, you are so serious!"
Wu Bin quickly sent someone down to make tea. Looking at Tantai Yu's gentle and humble demeanor, he couldn't help but feel a little more thoughtful.
Tantai Yu has a good appearance, treats others with respect and courtesy, and has a cultivation level of at least the third level of Xiantian. Moreover, his performance in the court that day was also very outstanding. Such a person might be the emperor of Tianji Kingdom in the future!
The master is reluctant to let go of the young lady, but the young lady is now seventeen years old and must look for a good husband.
The water in Yunjing City is too chaotic, and the only person who is worthy of the young lady is General Ling Ping of the Ling family. However, General Ling Ping seems to be unmarried and is a bit older. Tantai Yu is only nineteen years old, only two years older than the young lady, which is just right!
Even if the young lady is not willing yet, he must first pay attention to the young lady.
…
In the barren mountain courtyard, Su Li stopped by the door, with her back to Ling Li. Her body became stiff and she couldn't move forward no matter what.
Ling Li... what did he say just now
Wow!
Ling Li quickly walked around the table and accidentally hit the tea cup, falling to the ground and smashing it to pieces. However, he didn't care at all and walked up to behind Su Li. His expression was more focused and serious than ever before, and his voice was low and hoarse.
"Su Li, our Ling family has been loyal for generations, but each one died more miserably than the last. There must be a traitor behind it! I once swore that I would never talk about my children's affair unless the murderer was found, but you let me... break it. I swore an oath.”
"I have also thought about confessing to you again when my great revenge is avenged, but I am afraid that you will be another woman by then. Just thinking about it makes me unbearable! So, let me be selfish Once, I told you in advance, are you... willing to wait for me? When my great revenge is avenged, I will marry you as my wife, and you will be the only one in this life! "
"Back in Dasu Town, you didn't want to listen to my explanation, but now I will tell you. I have carried memories of my past life since I was born. I came from a place called Earth. At that time, I was the king of killers! Ling Xue … She was my biological sister in my previous life, but she later killed me with her own hands, and I don’t understand why until my death, so this matter became an obsession in my heart.”
"You know how to cook earthly food, and you know how to brew earthly wine, so there was a misunderstanding. I never meant to make you angry at the beginning!"
"My mother said that if I want to pursue you, I must be honest with you. You already know all my background. If you want to know more, I will not hold anything back from you! You...are willing Will you be my future wife?"
At the end of the sentence, Ling Li's voice couldn't help but tremble. He stared at Su Li's face that slowly turned around. When he saw the expression on her face, the blood in his heart suddenly went cold.
"I don't want to."
