After the storm, Su Li's life became calm, at least on the surface.
Of course, to the ordinary people in Yunjing City, the so-called disturbance is just the collapse of the old house wall, and nothing else.
Su Li announced that she would no longer give lectures. She was the only one in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and there were no other geniuses living there. This announcement caused quite an uproar. However, as Su Li was the princess and Prince Rui stood behind her, at least no one dared to refute it.
In this way, the Guoxuebang Mansion became a private residence, and Ling Li could not find an excuse to come in.
Su Li spent most of his time cultivating in his mansion and rarely went out. To outsiders, he looked like a woman waiting to be married.
Information about Linliju was delivered personally by Fang Yuan every night.
The day Su Li woke up, his feelings were exposed. Su Li neither agreed nor refused. He originally decided to let go and take a step further, but Su Li's changes during this period... scared him off!
That's right, just scare away!
If Su Li in the past could be said to be "cold on the outside and hot on the inside", with a cold mouth and a soft heart, the feeling Su Li gave him now was that he was cold from the inside out!
There was no longer any personal emotion in her indifferent eyes, as if nothing in the world would make her shake again, ethereal and ruthless, like the lonely fairy in the cold moon palace.
There was endless disappointment in Fang Yuan's eyes. Although Su Li didn't say it clearly, the look on her back gave him the answer.
She will never marry someone else in this life.
"Huh..."
In the night wind, Fang Yuan leaned against the door, gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes were bright and firm, and he smiled slightly.
"If you never marry, I will never marry you and stay with you!"
In this way, he was happy and satisfied.
At the same time, inside the Ling Mansion.
Ling Li sat in the wheelchair with a calm expression. Behind him, Ling Mo silently pushed the wheelchair to Qiu Meng's room. Then Qiu Meng came out and pushed Ling Li in, leaving him outside the door.
Ling Mo looked up at the sky. The moon and stars were sparse tonight. It seemed like the weather would be good tomorrow.
When he came back, it was all over.
Ling Mo sighed secretly in his heart. Ling Xian's death made him a little sad, but it was just sad.
Although she was the young master's right-hand man like him and grew up with him, the relationship between them was not close.
Because he instinctively hates women who are too scheming. Although he doesn't understand women, he knows that Ling Xian is not broad-minded. Over the years, Ling Xian has secretly eradicated many dissidents in the religion. Although such behavior has become less common in recent years, But it couldn't change his perception.
A few days ago, after he arrived at his destination, he knew that he had been deceived by Ling Xian with false information, so he immediately returned. Unfortunately, although Miss Su Li survived, it still led to a big mistake.
Thinking of this, Ling Mo couldn't help but sigh. If Ling Xian was still alive, maybe the young master could exchange her for forgiveness, but now that Ling Xian has been buried, the situation is complicated.
As long as the young master is the leader of the Hidden Demon Cult, there will be no possibility for him and Miss Su Li. But for the Ling family, it is impossible for the young master to give up his identity as the Hidden Demon Cult.
This is a dead end!
No one can solve it!
inside the house
"Li'er, tell me the truth, what happened between you and Su Li? Did you have a quarrel?"
quarrel
After hearing what his mother said, Ling Li was filled with anguish and pretended to be nonchalant. He shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, mother. I can handle it myself."
Looking like this made Qiu Meng's brows frown even more.
No matter how you say it, Ling Li is still her son. She has watched him grow up since he was a child. How can she not see that Ling Li is forcing a smile on his face.
In the past few months, she saw her son going out happily every day, and she thought that the marriage was about to happen. But recently, Su Li suddenly announced that he would close classes and not allow anyone to enter the house. In fact, he was resisting Ling Li!
Something must have happened, but if her son didn't tell her, she couldn't ask Su Li, right
Immediately, Qiu Meng could only say helplessly: "Son, since Su Li appeared, you have recently changed your ways and stopped going to those places of smoke and willows. Mother is very happy in her heart, but she doesn't want to see you hurt because of love. If Su Li really doesn't want to marry into the Ling family, you'd better forget about her as soon as possible."
Ling Li's whole body trembled slightly, and struggle flashed in his eyes.
Forget about her... is it possible
At this moment, Ling Mo's announcement came from outside the door.
"Madam, Master, Master Qinglan is here."
Qiu Meng frowned when he heard this and murmured: "It's so late, why is that kid here?"
Not long after, Ling Qinglan opened the door and saw Ling Li with a haggard expression. She couldn't help but flash her eyes and chuckled: "Aunt, I heard that my cousin is in a bad mood. I'll come and take a look after I finish working on the case."
Qiu Meng's eyes lit up, and he walked to Ling Qinglan and whispered: "You're here just in time. I talked to your brother, but he refused to start. You two are close in age. Maybe it would be more useful for you to tell him and take him back." Let’s go to the east courtyard.”
"Aunt, Qinglan knows."
Ling Qinglan nodded slightly and pushed Ling Li's wheelchair back to the east courtyard. Ling Mo closed the door and stood guard by the door.
Ling Qinglan shook her head slightly helplessly and sighed: "I already know the matter from Ling Mo. To put it bluntly, I'm not used to seeing no one around you."
Ling Li's expression was slightly cold, but his face was still calm, and he said in a deep voice: "It's so late, what are you doing here?"
Ling Qinglan was startled. Ling Li's reaction was much quieter than he expected. You must know that in the past few months, Ling Li had clearly shown a crush on Su Li. Now that something like this has happened, it shouldn't be that easy for him. lay down.
Looking at Ling Li's eyes as silent as dead water, Ling Qinglan's heart sank slightly, maybe it wasn't quiet...
"There's one thing I have to tell you. Su Qingtan...is out of seclusion."
Ling Qinglan's sudden words really shocked Ling Li, and even Ling Mo couldn't help but turn his head to look.
"After more than half a year of seclusion, Su Qingtan has broken through the innateness and stably controlled the Seven Feathers Xuan Gong. Now she is waiting outside the east courtyard gate."
Listening to Ling Qinglan's words, Ling Li frowned tightly, "How much does Su Qingtan know about Su Li's affairs?"
Ling Qinglan smiled when he heard this, "He has been out of seclusion for less than an hour, and I brought him here directly. How much do you think he knows?"
Ling Li's expression changed, and the light in his eyes flickered, but after just a moment, the light in his eyes dimmed.
Su Li is not an ordinary woman. She has a mind like a demon, and in some ways she is even more demonic than him. If he uses Su Qingtan to try to restore their relationship, it will only make Su Li further away from her.
Thinking of this, Ling Li sighed softly, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, "The Seven Feathers Mysterious Technique is an unparalleled trick of the Hidden Demon Sect. From the day you passed it on to him, Su Qingtan was destined not to leave the Hidden Demon Sect, otherwise Even I can't protect him, let him come in first."
Ling Qinglan looked slightly surprised, and then took a deep look at Ling Li, who had his eyes closed to rest.
Now that he has come to this point, does he still want to get back together
Outside the east courtyard, Su Qingtan's pale face, which had not seen the sun for many days, showed a bit of confusion and curiosity. This was the famous General Ling's Mansion. What was Ling Qinglan bringing him here for
"I have truly mastered the Seven Feathers Xuan Gong! My cultivation has surpassed the innate level. No matter who I meet, I have the strength to back it up!"
Su Qingtan was full of confidence. Half a year ago, he was just an ordinary person who was not even a master of martial arts. Now he has skipped the ninth level of acquired life, achieved innateness, and has been extraordinary ever since!
He is no longer the soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others!
From now on, he can also use his own power to protect his second sister, and promise his second sister a safe and happy life!
"Qingtan, come in."
When Ling Qinglan's voice came, Su Qingtan's body trembled slightly. After coming back to his senses, he walked into the east courtyard without hesitation. Compared with half a year ago, his attitude towards Ling Qinglan has changed drastically.
It can be said that Su Qingtan was almost forced by Ling Qinglan to join the Hidden Demon Cult at first, and he always had some resentment in his heart. But later, during the retreat, he learned from the middle-aged guard next to Ling Qinglan. Lots of secret information.
It turns out that his cultivation was obtained with Ling Qinglan's life!
If Ling Qinglan hadn't had another chance encounter later and escaped from death, Ling Qinglan would have died long ago, and Ling Qinglan's original purpose was to let herself take over his position in the Hidden Demon Sect.
Such trust, such sacrifice, although it was hidden selfishness, was indeed a great favor to Su Qingtan. How could he still resent it? All that was left in his heart was full of gratitude and admiration.
Not everyone has the courage to sacrifice his own life to help others, at least he can't do it. Ling Qinglan, who could do this, naturally won his respect.
squeak
Su Qingtan lowered her head and followed in, her heart beating like a drum. The atmosphere in the room was very depressing.
"Okay, Su Qingtan, this is the leader of our religion. Come and pay your respects first."
Ling Qinglan's soft words came, and Su Qingtan's spirits were lifted. It was an honor for him to meet the legendary "Gongzi Li" today.
He raised his head and saw the expressionless young man sitting in the wheelchair. His respectful expression immediately turned into shock, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"this… "
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Ling Qinglan, who smiled softly and said: "There is no need to doubt that Young Master Li is the third young master of the Ling family, Ling Li!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Qingtan's eyes widened and her heart pounded.
The most notorious trash in Yunjing City is actually the leader of the Hidden Demon Sect, who is feared in the martial arts world? !
This...this...how is this possible
"Subordinate... Su Qingtan... pay homage to the leader!"
Su Qingtan was in a daze and finished the salute in a daze. If it had been anyone else, Ling Li would have given him a cold lesson, but facing Su Qingtan, he only nodded lightly and let him go.
"Ling Mo, tell him what happened to Su Li in the past six months."
Su Qingtan was shocked when she heard the word "Su Li". The second sister actually got the attention of "Gongzili". What happened in the past six months? !
After waiting for half a cup of tea, he heard what Ling Mo said, his mouth opened slightly, and he fell completely into a daze.
He has only been practicing for more than half a year, why has everything changed? ! !
