The sound of the wind disappeared for a moment, and it fell into a terrible silence.
Ling Li met the girl's dark eyes, and his heart couldn't stop beating wildly. He was almost 80% sure of the identity of the woman in front of him, but when he saw Su Li's reaction, his hands and feet suddenly became cold.
Su Li's eyes were dark and confused for a moment. After a moment of silence, she suddenly made an inexplicable and self-deprecating comment, "Who is Xue'er? Is she... who is yours?"
Ling Li felt a thump in his heart, right? ! He wanted to see any trace of pretense on Su Li's face, but he was disappointed.
Su Li let out a series of low laughs, but his calm tone was filled with rage as strong as magma, "It turns out that I have done so much, but you think I am that Xue'er..."
Ling Li didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet. He coughed twice and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I just asked casually. If it's not the case, forget it."
Before he finished speaking, Ling Li saw the girl throwing something over. He subconsciously took it and opened his palms, his face immediately darkened. This is clearly the leader's token that he just sent.
Then, the girl's voice sounded, her tone calm and peaceful.
"I think Leader Ling must have had ulterior motives for sending this jade pendant. Now that you know I'm not her, I can't take this jade pendant. Leader Ling should rest early today and leave tomorrow."
When Su Li said this, she smiled lightly. She was no longer moody or rude, but instead waved her hand gracefully.
"We'll see you later, Ling Li."
Watching Su Li turn around without any nostalgia and slowly disappear down the valley path.
Ling Li was in a daze, suddenly feeling that he had lost something very important. He wanted to call Su Li to turn around, but after exhausting his brains, there was no reason to ask her to turn back.
She is just Xiaojiabiyu from Dasu Town, but she is in the precarious situation. She looks glamorous, but in fact she walks on the edge of a knife every step of the way... Why drag her into the water and put her in danger.
"Maybe I shouldn't think too much, my fate is over."
Ling Li glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and put it away silently.
The deep sigh slowly disappeared from the night.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Li came over early, and sure enough, she didn't see Ling Li and Ling Mo again. It was as if this month was just a dream, and now they woke up from the dream and left without leaving any traces.
"Su Li, I wonder if you are stupid, why did you return that jade token? That's a good thing!"
When Qu Qingning saw Su Li coming, he said with a pity on his face, "That's the Young Supreme of the Hidden Demon Sect. His personal jade token must be powerful enough to reach the sky. You were stupid and gave that jade pendant back!"
Su Li shook her head slightly, "Even if we take it, we won't need it, so it's better not to take it."
"What you said seems to make sense." Qu Qingning said, taking out a wooden sign and handing it to Su Li, "But Ling Li didn't think so. If you didn't accept the jade sign, he gave this wooden sign as a gift. Although the effect It’s not as powerful as the Jade Card, but it can still mobilize the Hidden Demon Cult members in Qinghe County.”
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly and hesitated for a moment. She took the wooden sign and put it close to her body. Without saying anything, she turned and left the valley.
Qu Qingning scratched his head and couldn't help but said to himself: "I really don't understand, what is going on with these two people?"
Three days later—
On the smooth official road, a luxurious carriage drove past.
Ling Li put on the jade bone mask again, and through the gap in the curtain, he could see that Ling Mo, who was driving the carriage, was wearing a bamboo hat and gray linen clothes, which was the standard dress of a coachman.
"Master, we will reach Yunjing City in two days."
Ling Li hummed absentmindedly and stroked his lips with his fingertips, as if some of the softness from that day still remained. He thought that he would stop thinking about it after he stopped thinking about it, but he found that even if he didn't think about it, a moody and slightly savage petite figure would appear in his mind from time to time.
"There are so many distracting thoughts, Su Li, Su Li, it only took you one month to replace Xue'er and become my new inner demon..."
There was another sigh in the carriage, and Ling Mo twitched his lips, revealing something strange. The young master seemed to be a little unusual since he left the valley. Could it be that he was infected by that crazy woman
In his short life of more than ten years, he had never had contact with a woman. In terms of his understanding of women, he was even worse than Ling Li. In his eyes, the moody Su Li became a real mad woman.
But it was said that Su Li completely returned to normal the day after Ling Li left. Her daily schedule was full and she was very busy. Compared to Ling Lilai, she knew more about what was about to happen in this life, and she was even more aware of the urgency of time, and she was not allowed to waste time in sorrow.
It is worth mentioning that when she was detoxifying Ling Li that day, she suffered a shock that caused several cracks in the bottleneck. Just because of these cracks, Su Li saved three months of hard training and broke through to the first level of innateness in advance. After cutting the marrow, the impurities are expelled from the body, and the bones in the body are as crystal clear as jade, just like fine chalcedony. You can see the pure and flawless blood flowing through the muscles and veins.
After washing away the dirt that overflowed from her body, Su Li found that her skin had become more delicate and fairer, as smooth as gelatin, cold and warm to the touch.
"Is it possible that this is the ice muscle and jade bone..."
A look of thought flashed across Su Li's eyes. According to legend, ice muscle and jade bones are the innate physique that every woman in the martial arts world pursues. With the addition of this physique, women will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when practicing Yin-type exercises, and there will be many benefits.
In her previous life, she stumbled and groped for innateness on her own. Of course, she never had such benefits. Now that she accidentally opened the Ice Muscle and Jade Bone, she still needs time to fully experience it.
After the breakthrough, Su Li gained new insights in cooking, cultivation, and medicine. This was a gift from heaven and earth. During this period, inspiration burst out constantly, and Su Li was extremely efficient no matter what he did.
She originally enjoyed it very much, but after a month she realized something was wrong. Because she has almost finished reading the books collected by Qi Xianqing.
Qi Xianqing also had a premonition that his departure would not be too short, so he left a lot of books for Su Li to read on his own. However, he misjudged Su Li's advance in Xuan Gong, and the book storage that was more than enough had already reached the bottom.
While I was thinking about it, Grandma Li suddenly hurried in from outside the door and said happily: "Miss, what a great thing!"
Su Li came back to her senses and was about to inquire in detail when another figure appeared behind Grandma Li. It was Su Huanli whom she had not seen for a long time.
"Li'er, are you okay living in Baiwei Building? I really wrong you." Su Huanli's tone was extremely affectionate and full of guilt, "My father came here today to give you a letter of admission."
"Enrollment?"
Su Li's beautiful eyes showed confusion, "Dad, what is the admission letter?"
"Look, I don't know when Mr. Qi will come back. I'm also afraid of delaying your studies. Why don't you go to the girls' school in Muyang Town first? It's the best girls' school in the nearby town! The teaching conditions are only better than those in Qinghe County. The female students are just a little bit behind."
"That's it." Su Li nodded, with a touch of emotion on his face, "I didn't expect that when dad is so busy, he would still take his daughter's affairs to heart. It's really hard work."
"Haha!" Su Huanli laughed when he heard this, "Don't be too busy thanking dad, your grandma suggested this! Maybe because she felt guilty for driving you out of the house last time, today she took the initiative to mention you to me , it really surprised me!”
"oh?"
Su Li's heart moved slightly. She knew that with the old woman's temperament, such an arrangement could never be a good intention. There must be a trap waiting for her.
"I'm afraid you'll delay Baiweilou, so I've specially prepared a faster carriage for you, and Zi Pei, the girl, will go with you, so you can take care of me."
Su Huanli looked like I have arranged everything for you. Obviously, he could not allow Su Li to refuse, and he did not know what kind of guarantee he got from Su Cui, so he worked so hard.
Su Li accepted the admission letter and nodded to thank Su Huanli. Su Huanli left happily. He didn't expect that this trip would be so easy, thanks to the fact that he got part of the land of the old house from his mother.
After Su Huanli left, Grandma Li walked into the house quietly, her face no longer happy, and she said worriedly: "Miss, since this is the old lady's order, I'm afraid there is fraud in it, so you have to be careful in everything."
Su Li glanced at Nanny Li and sneered in her heart. Even Nanny Li could easily see that Su Huanli would rather pretend to be confused. He was really her good father.
With this in mind, Su Li smiled and said: "It happens that I have almost read the books that Mr. left for me. It would be good to go to Muyang Women's School. Mom, don't think too much about it. She is a lady from a scholarly family. There won’t be anything dirty in this gathering place, so don’t worry.”
"is that so?"
Aunt Li looked confused. She had no education. When Su Li said this, she immediately believed it and murmured in a low voice: "I can't believe that the old lady actually found out about her conscience."
On the other side, Zhu Yan, who was raising a baby in Su's house, was also unhappy when she heard the news, and hurriedly went to see Su Cui.
"Mom! I can understand you arranging a girls' school for Zipei, but why are you arranging it for Erya?"
"Yes, grandma!" Su Zipei also supported her and said aggrievedly: "Grandma, didn't you say you wouldn't make Erya's life easy? Why did you still spend money to send her to a girls' school?"
Mrs. Su Cui smiled cheerfully, touched Su Zipei's little head, and said: "You guys, you don't look like our wives and young ladies at all. You have to learn to be calm when things happen. I've already taken care of the girls' school, naturally. I have my arrangements."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Su Cui's expression became solemn, "I didn't expect that in just half a year, that girl Erya would become a talented woman among the people of Dasu Town. As soon as I walked out, all I heard was the Su family The second young lady is unparalleled in talent and stunningly beautiful. Just because of her reputation, I can't touch him easily, otherwise it will have an impact on the Su family."
Su Zipei's eyes lit up, "That's why, grandma, you arranged for her to go to school. If she makes a fool of herself in the girls' school, it will be easy to handle!"
"Zipei is so smart!"
Mrs. Su Cui smiled even more happily, as if she had seen Su Li's embarrassing appearance after being pulled off the altar by her.
The next morning, the carriage going to the girls' school stopped early at the gate of Baiwei Building. Su Li took the "Da Han Tong Zi" with the cover dyed black and nothing else, so she got down and got into the carriage.
Su Zipei had been waiting in the carriage for a long time. When she saw Su Li coming in, she couldn't help but snorted coldly. When she saw the black cover in the latter's hand, she immediately sneered and said, "Second sister, why are you still using this Tongzi book? It's all stained black with ink. Why don't you throw it away and get another one."
As she spoke, she lifted up the bookcase beside her as if to show off. Inside was a brand-new and shiny copy of "Da Han Tong Zi", which was the latest edition she had just bought.
Su Li smiled and shook his head and said: "Thank you, Third Sister, for your concern. This book is enough for me. Although the cover is dark, the inside is not contaminated. No matter how good my sister's Tongzi cover is, I still can't finish it all night long."
"… you!"
Su Zipei's beautiful eyes widened with anger, and she scolded in a sharp voice: "Su Li, stop being so arrogant! This is the girls' school arranged by my grandma for me, and you are just a maid. When you go to the school later, remember to help me. Hold the bookcase, otherwise I won’t let you through the gate of the girls’ school!”
Su Li was silent when he heard the words, as if he was afraid and did not refute.
When Su Zipei saw this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Even if you are good at cooking and writing, you still haven't been fooled by me. Wait until you get to school to see how I can punish you!
