Lakes, buildings and boats.
It was still the place where they last met, but the difference was that there was a disguised Fang Yuan beside Su Li, who was now standing outside the boathouse, side by side with Ling Mo.
In the boathouse, Ling Li looked at the young man in green with a natural expression on the side of the chessboard. His heart was slightly shuddered, and then he chuckled and broke the calm first: "Mr. Li invited me here, it can't be just to play chess, right?"
Su Li's narrow eyes flashed with a hint of hidden complexity. She picked up a chess piece between her fingertips and said absently, "Of course not. Leader Ling is busy with his affairs. How can I dare to disturb you?"
Ling Li frowned lightly, tapped the side of the chessboard with his fingers, raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Li, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
"I haven't seen him for many days, and Master Ling's temper seems to be even more irritable."
Su Li commented slowly, his smile gradually becoming colder, "I am sure that Master Ling can guess the purpose of coming here today. I asked Master Ling to give me an explanation for the attack on Su Li by your middle and high-level leaders a few days ago. .”
Ling Li's breathing stagnated slightly and his expression changed.
Sure enough, he came to seek justice for her!
Su Li was obviously his woman, but now it was a strange man's turn to seek justice for her!
How ironic? !
His face turned slightly ugly, and he said coldly: "Su Li once said that you don't have a deep relationship with her. I will handle this matter myself. It seems that it is not your turn as an outsider to interfere, right?"
"The leader's words are wrong."
Su Li narrowed his eyes slightly and put his hands between his knees until his fingertips turned white. He pretended to be relaxed and said in a relaxed tone: "The leader doesn't know something. If you kill Su Li, even though I have some cooperation with Su Li, But I won’t stand up for her, but the Su Yue you killed was my beloved."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Li's expression changed instantly.
Su Yue, Su Li's aunt turned out to be from Linliju!
"Su Yue is the pinnacle of Xiantian, and I am the most powerful one. Not only that, her husband is also mine, and he is also a master of the eighth level of Xiantian. After Su Yue's death, his husband also disappeared."
"You let me, Liliju, lose two innate combat powers at once. How will this account be calculated?"
Su Li said two sentences in a row, which shocked Ling Li and became completely speechless.
In this case, after Li'er's aunt died and her uncle also left her,... would she be wronged again
Ling Li exhaled a breath of turbid air, nodded and lowered his eyes, a look of pain appeared.
If he could have noticed Ling Xian's strange behavior earlier, all this would not have become such a mess! It was the bitter fruit of his negligence. No matter how much Su Li blamed him or hated him... it was never an exaggeration!
The moment he raised his head, Ling Li's expression returned to normal, and he slowly said: "In this matter, I, the Hidden Demon Sect, have admitted failure. What compensation does Mr. Li want?"
A trace of surprise flashed between Su Li's eyebrows. Ling Li had always been hostile to her identity. Today, there would be some twists and turns in Japan. She didn't expect that he would be so easy to talk to.
"The leader is really cheerful. This matter is about my face. If I don't ask for compensation, it will be seen as weak. I don't have many requests, only two. First, I originally wanted the leader to hand over the murderer, but later After my investigation, I found out that the murderer does not need to hand over the crime. I will be compensated with one hundred martial arts stones."
As soon as these words came out, the third elder standing behind Ling Li immediately frowned.
One hundred martial arts stones are too many.
You must know that the Full Moon String Heart auctioned in Yunjing City is only worth ten martial arts stones, and this "Mr. Li" asked for a hundred, which is basically like a lion's mouth.
Sure enough, Ling Li couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"One hundred martial arts stones are too many. Even if I, the Hidden Demon Sect, take out so many at once, it will shake the foundation. I can only give you fifty at most. This is the limit of what I can do."
Su Li's eyes flashed and he nodded gently: "I don't know much about the wealth of your true spiritual world forces, so... fifty pieces is just fifty pieces."
Seeing that Su Li agreed, Ling Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but doubts arose in his heart.
Your true spirit world... Is this "Mr. Li" not from the true spirit world? Are there other cultivation worlds besides the true spirit world? The details of this person are a mystery and have never been found out. However, his words may also be used to create doubts, so they should not be taken lightly.
Thinking of this, Ling Li put aside his distracting thoughts and continued: "What is your second request, sir?"
The corners of Su Li's mouth raised and she smiled mysteriously: "The second request is not so much a request as I want to cooperate with the leader again."
"cooperate?"
Ling Li was confused. Now that he and Linliju had no common interests, what else could they cooperate with
"I remember that your Hidden Demon Sect had always been at odds with Wanjiange in the True Spirit Realm, right?"
Su Li spoke bluntly, her eyes burning.
The relationship between the Hidden Demon Sect and Wanjiange was what she heard from Ling Li himself, and then confirmed by Wen Tingshan, and now it has become a tool in her hands to spread suspicion.
Ling Li's body trembled slightly, and he said with deep meaning: "Mr. Li really has great supernatural powers, he even knows all the news about the real spirit world."
Su Li smiled softly and said nonchalantly: "This matter was not a secret in the real spirit world decades ago. It is not too difficult for me to know. And I also know that there has been a team of Wanjiange in the past few months. A lot of people are staying in Yunjing City, but their hiding skills are very good, and no clues have been revealed until now."
"It seems that the cooperation you are proposing is inseparable from Wanjiange?"
There was doubt in Ling Li's tone, but more of it was affirmation.
Su Li nodded and said: "To be honest, I, Linliju, have some grievances with Wanjiange. If I don't find those rats, I will have no peace for a day. Why don't you and I work together to investigate and find them out as soon as possible? It’s a worry that has been settled.”
"Such cooperation is something we, the Hidden Demon Sect, naturally want. But..." Ling Li's eyes flickered, "After you have uncovered the people from Wanjiang Pavilion, what do you want to do, sir?"
Su Li did not hesitate and replied with a smile: "It would be great if you can capture him alive, but if you are unable to do so, then you can only... life or death."
Ling Li took a deep look at Su Li who had a slight smile on his face. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Such cooperation is something we, the Hidden Demon Sect, naturally cannot ask for. Later I will send Qinghu to contact you and share it with you." intelligence."
"That's very good. Now that the matter is settled, I won't stay any longer and say goodbye." Su Li stood up, clasped his fists, smiled, turned around and left without any hesitation.
Ling Li frowned as he watched Su Li leave.
He originally thought that Mr. Li was here to ask for forgiveness, but after they actually met, the so-called apology was just an apology.
After a cutscene, I was afraid that even if he had reduced the number of martial arts stones to ten, Mr. Li would have agreed. The real purpose was for Wanjiang Pavilion!
"Leader, since Mr. Li is also hostile to Wanjiange, we might be able to cooperate with him and kill the real spirit world!"
The third elder's voice suddenly sounded, his eyes bright, "This Mr. Li is extremely extraordinary. Even when I face him, I feel a slight sense of danger. If nothing goes wrong, this person's cultivation level must have reached The level of immortality can only be broken through in the true spiritual world, and he is also inextricably linked to the true spiritual world."
Ling Li's thoughts turned sharply when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said slowly: "Based on this person's words alone, it's hard to say anything. Wanjiange has been in internal chaos over the years, and now a small group of people has appeared in Yunjing City inexplicably. Linliju is in a hurry If we start to deal with them, it’s hard to tell the relationship between them and Wanjiange.”
The third elder's expression changed slightly, "You mean..."
Ling Li waved his hand to stop the third elder from continuing, "This matter is just my guess. We have to wait until we find the person from Wanjiange Pavilion to tell us."
"The leader is wise."
The third elder bowed his head and complimented, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although his cultivation was at a high level, he was still far behind the leader in terms of quick thinking. Plus Ling Qinglan, why worry about the Hidden Demon Sect not being able to regain its former prosperity
"The ancestors have found the right successor..."
After thinking about it, the third elder thought about Su Li again. Now he didn't know that Su Li, who was almost killed by Ling Xian that day, met the masked woman in Tang Mansion.
At that time, he thought that the woman was just an ordinary person. Later, when he met her in the alley, he realized that Su Li was very good at concealment, and her cultivation level was not far behind that of the leader.
With the same decisiveness in killing and quick thinking, if such a strange woman marries the leader, she will definitely create a good story. Unfortunately…
The third elder shook his head and sighed secretly, it was too late to say anything now.
…
Yinmo Cult and Linliju, two secret forces in Yunjing City have joined forces. Yunjing City looks calm on the surface, but in fact it is already turbulent. Spies from the two forces are everywhere, searching for the whereabouts of the people of Wanjiange. , even Su Qingtan also participated and was responsible for the exploration of a small area.
Ling Qinglan was extremely busy, not only because of the Hidden Demon Cult, but also with trivial matters in Dali Temple. She had to be busy until late at night every day before returning home.
On the one hand, it was because he could not stand the repeated persuasion of the ancient Taijun, and on the other hand, it was also for the sake of the Hidden Demon Sect. He now lives back in the Ling Mansion and does not need to care about the third prince.
After the incident at the auction house, the eldest prince and the third prince fell out of favor almost at the same time. They were imprisoned in Xisan by Dongfang Xiao and were not allowed to go out. They all relied on their brothers to support them. Now the most prestigious one in the royal family has become the fifth prince.
That night, Ling Qinglan's affairs came to an end and she returned to Ling Mansion alone.
The night was as cold as water, and the cold streets looked bright under the moonlight. Ling Qinglan's figure stretched out. As he walked through the last corner, the gate of Ling Mansion came into view. The lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate were not extinguished.
Ling Qinglan's heart warmed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He knew that this was the lamp specially left for him by his aunt Qiu Meng.

A slight sound came into his ears, which seemed extremely harsh in the quiet night. Ling Qinglan looked slightly stern and wary, and immediately turned around to look.
