Yan Hongxiu bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Her father was a third-grade official in the Dahan Country. Her mother came from a family of scholars and merchants. She didn't have to worry about food and clothing since she was a child. She was constantly instilled with traditional ideas by her mother and sisters.
But her character still followed her father's. She had the same desire for martial arts as her Third Brother. She longed for the chivalrous and free Jianghu that her brother said!
If she couldn't pull the bow …
Would she really be willing to marry someone else's wife when she reached the age where she could take care of her husband and children and be trapped in a small world for the rest of her life?
No!
She was not willing!
Yan Hongxiu raised her head and her eyes became firm again. She said, "Immortal Master, please teach me the pithy formula!"
Su Li slightly pursed her lips and said coldly, "Have you really thought it through? You are too young. What you see and yearn for is not what you want. Even so, do you still want to continue? "
Yan Hongxiu still nodded and said, "I don't know whether it is right or not. But if I give up now, I will regret it later. In this case, I can't flinch! "
Then Yan Hongxiu stared at Su Li closely. Su Li's cold tone suddenly changed and became lively. She said, "It is rare that you have such awareness at such a young age. In this case, I will teach you the pithy formula now."
"Yes, Immortal Master!"
Yan Hongxiu nodded happily and finally returned to her usual smile.
Looking at the pretty girl holding the long bow in front of her, Su Li showed a meaningful smile.
The method of blood refinement was a commonly used method in the martial arts world to refine weapons, but not everyone could succeed in this method. Moreover, if one refined a Spiritual Weapon that was much higher than his cultivation, he was likely to suffer a backlash and die or be disabled.
However, Su Li believed that Yan Hongxiu could safely get through the danger. After all, under the torture of Jin Cheng 'ao in the previous life, Yan Hongxiu refined the spiritual bow with her heart blood. She completely mastered the spiritual bow in only three days and almost killed Jin Cheng' ao.
Unfortunately, she lost too much heart blood. Yan Hongxiu didn't shoot the last arrow and left first.
At that time, Su Li had speculated that the bow must be the ancestral heirloom of the Yan Family, and the snow vein in Yan Hongxiu's body was likely to be very suitable for the bow. Otherwise, even if she worked hard, it was impossible for her to completely master the killing weapon that was a big realm beyond her cultivation in just three days.
In this life, she asked Yan Hongxiu to choose a safer "method of blood refining". Although it was a little slow, Yan Hongxiu would be able to regain the brilliance of her previous life in time.
"You died prematurely in your previous life and didn't have the chance to shine in the martial arts world. Let me help you in this life. Consider it a return gift from the Yan Clan for helping me wipe out the Jin Clan …"
In the warm night breeze, white clothes fluttered, and various fates were silently changing in the silence.
…
Early the next morning, Su Li appeared in Wen Ruomin's yard.
"You want to go out and relax?"
Hearing Su Li's words, Wen Ruomin couldn't help but frown slightly. She couldn't help but worry, "The Qinghe Town is not peaceful these days. Your class is also delayed because of this. I don't object to you going out, but how are we going to solve the problem of safety? "
"Thank you for your concern, Dean."
Su Li seemed to have a well-thought-out plan and said softly, "I also know my situation. Yesterday, I have invited bodyguards from the Tianya House to go with me. Besides, there are also Xiaowu and Datian. I believe that there will be no problem."
"The bodyguards of the Tianya House are really powerful."
Wen Ruomin immediately felt relieved and smiled, "In the past six months, you spent all day here except going back home. You really should go out for a walk. It happens that Dean Gong has just recovered from her illness and is asking me to go to class. You can relax and don't worry about the schedule. "
"Dean …"
Su Li looked grateful and said, "It's really my luck to meet Dean Wen. Don't worry, Dean. I just want to go to the Qinghe River to relax. I believe that I will come back within a month. "
"That's good. The scenery of the Qinghe River is good. You should go and have a look."
Wen Ruomin smiled and took out an amulet from her arms and gave it to Su Li, "This is the amulet I asked from the temple. Take it and be careful on the way."
Su Li quickly retreated and felt flattered. She said, "How can I take it? Dean, keep it with you."
"Just take it." Wen Ruomin pretended to be unhappy and said, "Nothing will happen to me if I stay in the school. If you care about it, you can give it back to me when you come back. Take it with ease. "
Su Li hesitated for a moment and finally listened to Wen Ruomin. She put the amulet close to her body and was told to pay attention to the trifles on the way. Then she was let out of the yard.
In front of the school, Mammy Li was waiting beside the carriage with a small bag. Xiaowu and Datian were both excited and checked whether the food prepared for the horses was enough.
After a while, Su Li walked out of the school. When she saw Mammy Li and others waiting, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She finally saw Wen Ruomin's nagging ability. If she didn't say that the carriage was waiting in front of the school, she didn't know how long she would be pulled by Wen Ruomin.
However, she didn't feel tired of this level of verbosity. Instead, she felt a faint warmth lingering in her heart. If it were in the previous life, she wouldn't be shaken at all.
"Compared with the time when she was just reborn, she seems to be more and more like a normal person. Is it good or bad …"
Su Li sighed softly and sat in the carriage. Xiaowu immediately drove away from the school.
When the carriage left the Qinghe Town, Xiaowu was about to ask Su Li where the so-called "guards" were. Suddenly, he heard the sound of hooves behind him. In the blink of an eye, four horses followed. There were three men and one woman on the horses. All of them wore masks and their faces couldn't be seen clearly.
They didn't look like guards. They were more likely to be killers!
Xiaowu panicked and was about to turn around and escape. But he heard Su Li's voice from behind, "Don't panic. The four of them are all guards invited by me. You can continue to go as usual."
Xiaowu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words. He couldn't help but look at the horse walking in the front. The voice of the young man on the horse immediately came from behind the mask, "You go now. I will follow and protect you all the way."
Hearing the voice, Xiaowu was finally sure that they were not killers. Then, an unprecedented sense of security hit his whole body. With the protection of such four seemingly powerful people, it would be no problem for them to go back to their hometown!
After a whole day's journey, there was no official road in the end of the carriage. The mountain road between the slope was very rugged. After dark, they couldn't see the road clearly. The horses also couldn't bear it. So, they could only clear a relatively flat open space and temporarily rest for the night.
Xiaowu saw Fang Yuan and others easily moved the stones and cleared all the shrubs around quickly. He couldn't help but be speechless. As expected, they deserved to be the bodyguards of the Tianya House. The speed of clearing the camp was really professional.
Su Li sat on a stone and watched quietly. A faint fluorescent light flashed in her eyes. Whether it was Fang Yuan, Qu Qingning, Fang Mu or Yin Xuetong, they all had been on the battlefield and killed enemies. Setting up a camp was the basic skill of marching. They were naturally familiar with it.
Before it was completely dark, Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning had already set up all the tents. Yin Xuetong and Fang Mu also picked up bundles of firewood. After making a fire, the surrounding sight was suddenly illuminated. The fire was very warm on their faces.
Xiaowu took out the pot from the carriage and put it on the fire. He poured water into it. When the pot opened, he put in the dried jerky. Soon, the smell of meat floated out of the pot. He first filled a bowl for Su Li, and then walked to Fang Yuan with the bowl in his hand.
"Eldest Brother, you worked hard on the road. Here you are!"
Looking at Xiaowu's respectful expression with a trace of fear, Fang Yuan smiled slightly. He took the soup bowl and lifted half of his mask to drink. Su Li didn't allow him to show his real face. It was not a big deal to only show his mouth, right?
Qu Qingning and other two people immediately followed him and lifted their masks to drink.
Xiaowu was stunned to see this scene. Why didn't this group of people take off their masks even when eating? He also wanted to see what the four people looked like.
It was very peaceful at night, and there was only the crackling sound of burning firewood. After all, Xiaowu, Datian and Mammy Li were ordinary people. After a day of hard work and eating and drinking, they immediately felt sleepy. It didn't take long for them to get into the tent and sleep.
After making sure that the three people fell asleep, Fang Yuan and others took off their masks to breathe. Su Li picked up the burning firewood with a branch and asked, "How about the arrangement before we left?"
Qu Qingning glanced at the tent behind him and signaled Yin Xuetong to speak. Yin Xuetong organized her words and whispered, "Everything is arranged. The girl is very flustered. But Luo Yichen will come back soon. I believe that there will be no big trouble."
Su Li said "hmm" and narrowed her eyes slightly, "You are all from aristocratic families and have extraordinary backgrounds. Do you think … if the Linli Building wants to fight with forces like the royal family of the Nanjiang Country in the future, what are the chances of winning? "
The four people were shocked when they heard the words, and their expressions were different. Only Fang Yuan's expression didn't change. He had already seen all kinds of magic of Su Li. It was not the first time that he saw such an inexplicable ability to get secret information.
"Miss Su Li, you are not from the Nanjiang Country. How do you know that our enemy is the royal family?"
Fang Mu was still a little impulsive. In the face of Su Li's sudden question, he couldn't help but blurt out the question, "Did the eldest brother tell you? No, the eldest brother clearly told … "
Speaking of this, Fang Mu realized something and immediately stopped the second half of the sentence.
Su Li was very interested and asked, "What did he tell you? Fang Mu, it's not a good boy to say things halfway. What do you think? "
"Uh …"
Fang Mu subconsciously looked at Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. This boy … Did he deliberately trick him?
"You don't need to say it. I can guess what the explanation is." Su Li said with a smile, "It's nothing more than hiding something about the royal family from me. After all, even if I am powerful, I will never offend a country for no reason. If I know it, I will probably drive you away, right?"
Fang Mu's face suddenly turned pale, and Yin Xuetong was also worried. She looked at Su Li nervously with her beautiful eyes.
They didn't expect that the relationship with Su Li would be on the verge of breaking just after they went out for a day.
Qu Qingning smiled, and his eyes were rarely cold. He shrugged and said, "Since you have laid your cards on the table, Su Li, what do you think about the Nanjiang Country?"
"I don't have any idea." Su Li tilted her head and supported her arm on the stone. She propped up half of her cheek and said in a lazy tone as if she didn't pay attention to the serious atmosphere in front of her.
"You have people you want to deal with, and so do I. Moreover, the enemy's forces are so powerful that I can't face them alone. I can only build forces to fight against them. That's why I've never cared about your origins. It's not because I'm aware of it, but because this is a transaction in itself. "
As Su Li said, she drew on the ground with a branch and pointed to Fang Yuan, "You help me kill people, and then in return, I help you destroy the royal family of the Nanjiang Country. It is a fair deal, isn't it?"
The calm words passed through the hearts of the four people. Yin Xuetong and Fang Mu felt cold at the same time, as if they could smell the endless blood brewing under the words.
"No, it's not fair."
