When Su Li and Su Qingtan turned around, the whole manor was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.
"Clang!"
There was a heavy sound. In front of the gate of the manor, the crowded guests had different expressions, but they all made way for them. Su Li finally saw who it was.
She saw four sturdy men carrying a brand-new huge black coffin. They walked in firmly. The sound just now was the sound of the coffin falling to the ground.
Behind the coffin, there was a brother and sister in luxurious clothes. The boy was as gentle as jade with a smile on his face. The girl was extremely beautiful and mischievous. They were a perfect couple.
However, the smiles of the two people behind the coffin would only make people feel cold and not warm at all.
"It's the childe and daughter of the Wu Family!"
"Only the Wu Family sends the coffin at the banquet of the Ling Family!"
"This is a banquet hosted by His Majesty the Emperor. Isn't Young Master Wu a little too bold?"
"Hush! Be quiet! "
"…"
Su Qingtan and Wu Jin immediately stood in front of Su Li. This person was not a playboy, but a talented student of the College of Martial Arts of the National Academy. Su Li's identity couldn't control him. Besides, Su Qingtan once heard from Ling Qinglan that this person was not happy without women. If he saw the Second Sister, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble!
Su Li gently put her hands on Su Qingtan's shoulder. She showed a pair of faint eyes, and a red light flashed in her dark pupils.
Wu Jin!
In this life, I finally see you. I really don't know how long you can live under my means in this life.
Wu Jin didn't notice Su Li's gaze. There were at least eight hundred people watching the show in front of the manor. There were too many people looking at him. He couldn't distinguish all of them.
"Well, put it down here!"
Wu Jin gave an order. The four sturdy men immediately threw the coffin down. The coffin was extremely heavy. It fell to the ground with a loud bang. Ling Ping who got the news finally appeared in front of the lobby. When he saw the black wooden coffin, his face was completely gloomy.
"Wu Jin, do you really think that I dare not to hurt you with the protection of General Wu?"
With Ling Ping's words, an extremely fierce pneuma spread from him. That was the horrible killing intent condensed from killing enemies on the battlefield!
The guests nearby were frightened by the momentum. Their faces turned pale in an instant and they retreated far away. Su Li was also pulled into the crowd by Su Qingtan, and there was a large empty circle in the field.
Wu Jin was the first to bear the brunt. His face was slightly pale, but he did not panic. Instead, he clasped his hands and said, "Second Brother Ling, why are you angry? This gift is something that I thought about for a full three days before I came up with. Coffins, coffins, were official positions and wealth! Both are things of fame and fortune. Is it wrong for me to congratulate Second Brother on his promotion and wealth? "
Before Wu Jin finished his words, the girl hiding behind him immediately said, "Brother is right! Second Young Master Ling, my brother has good intentions. Even if he were to stand in front of the Emperor, he would still be able to reason with him. You're so angry, it's really disappointing for me and my brother! "
The clear and melodious voice that was like that of an oriole, coupled with the young girl's almost perfect and tender appearance, actually caused the atmosphere to slightly ease up. Many guests sighed in their hearts,
"Wu Xiuxiu! She really deserves the title of the former first beauty in Yunjing City! "
"It's a pity that there is another Su Li in Yunjing City. I heard that she is really a fairy. Although Wu Xiuxiu is beautiful, she is still an ordinary person. She can't be compared with her!"
Maybe the voice of the last sentence was a little loud, Wu Xiuxiu suddenly turned her head and looked at the group of guests who were whispering. Her beautiful eyes were full of gloominess and anger.
How could she hear that?
A group of guests shrank their necks and no longer dared to speak.
At this time, Ling Ping restrained his momentum and his face became calm. But his tone was still cold, "Master Wu, I appreciate your kindness. Please take this coffin back. Our Ling Family can't use it. "
Wu Jin heard it and clapped his hands. He was full of pity and sighed, "What can we do? In order to send a gift to Second Brother Ling, I specially inquired about your height and size. This coffin is tailor-made for you. Other people … can't fit it. "
As soon as he said that, the field was quiet again. Many people were shocked. Wu Jin clearly cursed Ling Ping to die on purpose! If they were to encounter such a congratulatory message that was filled with malice, they would have flown into a rage long ago.
Ling Ping took a deep breath and pointed at the gate of the manor expressionlessly, "For the sake of His Majesty, I won't care about the coffin with you. But if you dare to offend him again, even if His Majesty blames me, I will kill you here! "
Wu Jin's pupils shrank and he laughed repeatedly, "Second Brother Ling, don't be angry. Since I am not welcome, I will leave. But, this coffin … "
Boom!
Before Wu Jin finished his words, Ling Ping struck with his palm. The wind from the palm scraped along Wu Jin's face. Wu Jin was in pain. Finally, the palm fell on the coffin. The coffin made of solid wood instantly became scattered sawdust. Wu Xiuxiu screamed.
Wu Jin covered his red right face and looked terrible.
Ling Ping smiled and showed his shining white teeth. He said, "This slap is for your father to teach you a lesson. Remember it well. Otherwise, your father will die before you one day. It's so pitiful." Ling Ping said.
Wu Jin's eyes became fiercer when he heard that, but he soon calmed down. He smiled and said respectfully, "Second Brother Ling, thank you for your advice. Since you don't welcome us today, we will leave now."
Then, Wu Jin turned around and left.
"Brother, wait for me."
Wu Xiuxiu chased after him with hatred. Before leaving, she glanced at the guests next to her and saw Su Li behind Su Qingtan. Her face … was really more beautiful than hers!
They just looked at each other, but Wu Xiuxiu panicked for no reason. It seemed that there was a voice in her heart telling her that Su Li was her top enemy and must be eradicated as soon as possible!
"Wu Xiuxiu, your eldest brother has left. Do you want to stay to attend my banquet?"
Ling Ping's words suddenly came from behind. Wu Xiuxiu trembled slightly. She didn't have time to think too much and immediately turned around to chase Wu Jin who had gone far away.
The banquet returned to peace, but the atmosphere was not good. Everyone at the banquet was talking about the struggle between the Ling Family and the Wu Family. There was no meaning of a blind date.
In addition, although the Ling Family was supported by Ling Ping, it was not as powerful as the Wu Family. After weighing the weight of the two families, many young ladies suddenly didn't want to play up to the Ling Family.
Ling Ping had never thought about getting married and having children, so his expression was normal. After drinking with everyone for a while, he went to the inner hall, as if there were important guests there.
"It must be Lord Chen Gong."
Su Qingtan showed a regretful expression. What Ling Qinglan said was right, but he didn't say that he was not qualified to go into the inner hall to meet his idol. He came to the banquet in vain.
"Eldest Brother, don't be discouraged. Since that lord is your idol, he must be noble. If there is a chance in the future, there will be a chance to meet and talk with him. "
Su Li comforted him softly. Su Qingtan couldn't help but laugh, "You little girl, don't you know who Lord Chen Gong is? He is noble, but he is not a person who is easy to get along with. I just want to see him from a distance. As for talking with him, forget it. "
Su Li responded and didn't say much. She was more and more curious about who Chen Gong was.
In the middle of the night, the banquet was over.
Su Qingtan went back with regret. In the end, he didn't see Chen Gong coming out of the gate of the manor.
The next morning, Su Li came to the Affiliated School of the National Academy. There was still no one in the Affiliated School. In fact, as a lecturer of the Affiliated School, she could order the National Academy to inform the families and even threaten that if they didn't come, she would expel those playboys from the National Academy. But she didn't do that.
She was not the senior fellow apprentice. She didn't have so many new medicines to experiment. If those playboys didn't come, she was happy to be quiet. She could hide in the alchemy room of the Affiliated School to refine medicine and practice. It couldn't be more comfortable. Why did she ask for trouble?
"But, so many days have passed. Haven't Fang Yuan and others entered the city yet?"
Su Li frowned slightly. Adding up the time spent on the road, it had been a month. Fang Yuan and others didn't have the burden of the carriage of the Su Family. It didn't take them much time to come to Yunjing. Why did it take so long?
Although it was strange, Su Li didn't worry too much. She had told the three of them about the Hehuan Sect. If they still died in the hands of the Hehuan Sect, they could only blame themselves.
After a day's practice, Su Li went back as usual. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the street, which was splendid and pleasing to the eye.
"It seems that there are fewer people on the street today …"
Su Li lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
Suddenly!
The carriage shook and instantly sped up into the dark alley next to it. Su Li noticed it earlier and immediately jumped out of the window. She rolled a few times like a gourd. Before she could stand firm —
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Six arrows were shot from different directions. In the blink of an eye, all the dodging angles were blocked.
Su Li's pupils shrank slightly. She shook her sleeves and a dagger slipped out. She waved the dagger to block three of the arrows. Then she immediately jumped away and fled deeper into the alley.
At the same time, the inborn psychic awareness quietly flowed like mercury. The nine killers in the dark immediately had no place to hide.
Nine people in the acquired ninth hurdle!
With her cultivation, she could deal with these people in an instant, but she couldn't do that. She wasn't sure if there were other eyes watching this scene. If she really made a move, it was very likely that she would expose herself, and that would be truly dangerous.
The head of the killers hiding at the street corner outside saw Su Li escape inside and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Although this silly girl had the cultivation of the acquired eighth hurdle, she had little experience in fighting. She actually took the initiative to escape to a place with few people. It really saved them a lot of trouble. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Thinking of this, the head of the killers waved his hand. The other eight killers immediately moved and rushed into the dark alley with awe-inspiring killing intent.
With the inborn psychic awareness, Su Li knew the terrain very well. She could always detect the killers coming and avoid them in advance. Seeing the nine killers scurrying in the alley like headless flies, Su Li was not very happy.
She had already noticed that the structure of the alley was simple. There were only eight exits. If the killers searched everywhere, she would definitely be found.
What should she do?
Suddenly, Su Li saw another person appear at the corner of the dark alley in her psychic awareness. There were no black-masked killers around. This person looked more than forty years old. He wore a blue cloth which was very shabby. A corner of the cloth was torn off and covered his face. Obviously, he just came in with a mask and was not with the nine people.
"What's the matter?"
Su Li frowned slightly. She clearly saw that this person's cultivation reached the peak of the acquired realm. It was impossible that he didn't know that this was a killing trap. How could he come into the alley and get involved in this mess?
Seeing that the person was getting closer and closer to her hiding place, Su Li only thought for a few seconds and took the initiative to breathe heavily.
Sure enough, the person was happy after hearing that and immediately rushed to Su Li.
