The Barren Mountain Yard was the first decision made by Ling Li on the day he took over as Hierarch. It had been nearly ten years. The size of the Barren Mountain Yard had also been expanded several times. Several hillsides had been hollowed out, which were connected by delicate mechanisms. It was the source of talents for the Yinmo Cult.
After another turn, the entrance of the yard was in sight. Ling Li took out the jade-bone mask from his arms and put it on.
Even in the Yinmo Cult, only a few high-level people knew his real identity.
"Greetings to the Hierarch!"
"Greetings to the Hierarch!"
As soon as they arrived at the door, two black figures flashed out from both sides and knelt down. Su Li followed Ling Li and found that they were the elite killers of the Shalou Cult.
Ling Li began to show Su Li various means of cultivating talents of the Yinmo Cult. With Ling Li's identity, Su Li was naturally unimpeded.
There were only two standards to test talents. One was loyalty. One was talent, and the other was will. It was similar to the secluded place of the Linli Building. However, the Yinmo Cult had a long history and many means. She benefited a lot from watching them. She was going to move some means to the Linli Building when she went back.
No outsider had ever come to the Barren Mountain Yard. At this moment, Su Li was obviously not a member of the cult. Seeing that their Hierarch was so attentive, they couldn't help but look at Su Li strangely. Some people with high cultivation even transmitted the sound to each other and gossiped.
"Is she … the future Madam Hierarch?
"What should we do with the holy girl?"
"Well … I heard that as long as one's cultivation is high enough, the transmission of sound can be eavesdropped."
"Hiss … It's the private affairs of the Hierarch. We'd better not offend him."
Then no one dared to transmit the sound.
Ling Li's cultivation hadn't reached the longevity realm. Naturally, he didn't have the ability to cut off others' transmission of sound. At this moment, he had taken Su Li to a beautifully decorated stone room in the depth of the yard. As the Hierarch, Ling Li naturally had a separate residence in each stronghold of the cult.
They sat down, and Ling Li made a cup of tea for Su Li personally. No matter in the previous life or this life, he never neglected wine, tea and food.
Su Li quietly looked at Ling Li's coherent and smooth movements. He still liked to play with tea as in the previous life. But in the previous life, he could only play with the wild tea that he picked in the mountain by himself. In this life, he could play with the best tea carefully cultivated by the tea farmers.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Ling Li calmed down for a moment and finally spoke. Although he tried to keep calm, Su Li still saw that he was a little weird.
Indeed, Ling Li was different from usual today. He was too enthusiastic. Every sect's secret place was even more secretive than the headquarters, but he actually brought him here without saying anything. What was the meaning of this?
Did he want me to join the Yinmo Cult or …
Su Li frowned slightly, "Did you lose the Full Moon and Heart Strings?"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Ling Li's eyes widened and he almost spat out a mouthful of tea. Although he held back, he still choked and coughed. The courage that he had just summoned up was defeated by Su Li.
Seeing that his reaction was so big, Su Li was full of surprise, "I just said it casually. Did I really lose it?"
Casually said it!
Ling Li was so upset that he wanted to vomit blood. Without saying anything, he took out the glass bottle from his sleeve and put it on the table. The Full Moon and Heart Strings was so important and what Su Li needed, so he always kept it close to him.
"Take it. Ling Qinglan's account is settled!"
Su Li took the glass bottle which was still warm. Her heart slightly rippled, but she quickly suppressed it. She calmly put it away and said, "Thank you for your help in the Lord Rui's Mansion last time. In this way, you still owe me an unconditional request. Then we are even."
Hearing such a cold trading tone, Ling Li became serious and said in a complicated tone, "Do you have to calculate the relationship between us so clearly?"
"What does Hierarch Ling want?"
Su Li lowered her eyes and looked indifferent, but her heartbeat sped up unconsciously. A strange emotion grew in her heart.
"I …"
Ling Li said a word, but the rest of the words seemed to be blocked by a stone in his throat.
Say it!
Ling Li, if not now, when will you say it!
He couldn't say it!
If he was refused, he would be ashamed!
There seemed to be two consciousnesses in his mind, and they were constantly entangled. Ling Li tightened his lips and slowly squeezed his knees with his hands hidden under the table, but he could no longer say a word.
Su Li's face flashed a touch of obscure self-mockery.
In this life, what were you still looking forward to?
"Hierarch Ling, since I have got the thing, I will not disturb your cultivation. I will leave now." Su Li's voice was calm. She gently put down the teacup and turned to leave without hesitation.
But at this moment, Ling Li suddenly raised his head, and a calm and firm voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"Su Li! Are you willing … to be my wife? "
…
In the Affiliated School of the National Academy, Wu Bin stood in front of the door and looked at the direction where Su Li left in the morning. He was a little worried. Most of the day had passed. Even the Manchu and Han Imperial Feast should have been ready. Why didn't Miss come back?
Although the Third Childe of the Ling Family was a bastard, he certainly didn't dare to act recklessly with Madam Qiu at home. What on earth delayed her?
At this moment, it was not the time for the class to end. The road in front of the Affiliated School of the National Academy was empty. There were only two or three pedestrians. Suddenly, Wu Bin stared at the man in the bamboo hat who walked straight to the Affiliated School of the National Academy.
"Stop! This is the important place of the National Academy. Irrelevant people leave! "
The guard at the door immediately scolded. The man in the bamboo hat looked up a little and showed his face. Wu Bin's expression changed slightly. He quickly asked the guard to leave and led the man in the bamboo hat into the Affiliated School of the National Academy.
After entering the front room, the man in the bamboo hat took off the bamboo hat and showed a young face. He was the Fourth Prince of Tianji Country, Tantai Yu.
"After the Auction Fair, all forces have withdrawn from Yunjing City. I didn't expect that Prince Tantai is still here."
Wu Bin said respectfully with a little vigilance. The Prince of Tianji Country was distinguished, so he must be treated carefully. But why did he come to the place where Miss lived? How did Miss have a relationship with the Prince of Tianji Country?
Tantai Yu looked at Wu Bin's vigilant look and immediately smiled. He said, "Butler Wu, don't be nervous. I come here today to say goodbye to Su Li."
Wu Bin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, may I ask why you and Miss …"
Tantai Yu shook his head and said, "Since she didn't say it, I can't disobey her. If you want to know, ask her yourself."
Speaking of this, Tantai Yu sighed and said with self-mockery, "It seems that she doesn't want to see me again. Well … Butler Wu, please give me this sword."
Tantai Yu stretched out his hand. Wu Bin noticed the sword in his hand. He couldn't help but be surprised. It was the Hanfeng Sword which was worth ten million yuan at the Auction Fair!
"This …"
Wu Bin hesitated. If he rashly accepted the thing that Miss was willing to accept, it would be a sin.
"Don't worry. This thing is just a gift for our first meeting. There is no other meaning."
Tantai Yu explained with a smile. He gently put the long sword on the table and was about to leave. His figure was a little bit desolate.
Wu Bin couldn't bear it and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, please wait! It's not that Miss doesn't want to see you today. She went to the Ling Mansion as a guest early in the morning and made snacks with Madam Ling. If you really want to see Miss, it's better to wait here. "
Tantai Yu slightly stopped and turned around with a little more gratitude on his face. He said, "Thank you, Butler Wu. Otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"Your Highness, you are too kind!"
Wu Bin quickly asked someone to make tea. Looking at Tantai Yu's gentle and humble manner, he couldn't help but think a little more.
Tantai Yu's appearance was superior, he treated people respectfully, and his cultivation was at least above the inborn third hurdle. Moreover, his performance in the imperial court that day was also very outstanding. Such a person might be the future emperor of Tianji Country!
Master was reluctant to part with Miss. But Miss was now seventeen years old. She had to find a good husband.
The situation in Yunjing City was too complicated. Only General Ling Ping of the Ling Family could match Miss. But General Ling Ping didn't seem to marry and he was a little old. Tantai Yu was only nineteen years old. He was only two years older than Miss. It was just right!
Even if Miss was not willing now, he had to help Miss pay attention first.
…
In the yard on the barren mountain, Su Li stopped at the door with her back to Ling Li. Her body became stiff and she couldn't move.
Ling Li … What did he say just now?
Crash!
Ling Li quickly bypassed the table and accidentally hit the teacup. It fell to the ground and broke into pieces. But he didn't care about it. He walked behind Su Li with unprecedented concentration and seriousness. His voice was low and hoarse.
"Su Li, the Ling Family has been loyal for generations, but they died miserably. There must be a villain behind them! I once vowed that if I didn't find the murderer in this life, I would never have a love affair. But you made me … break the oath. "
"I also thought that when I get my revenge, I will confess to you. But I am afraid that you will be someone else's wife at that time. I can't bear it just thinking about it! So, let me be selfish once. I tell you in advance, are you … willing to wait for me? When I get my revenge, I will marry you. I will only love you in this life! "
"At that time in the Dasu Town, you didn't want to listen to my explanation. Now I will tell you. I was born with the memory of my previous life. I came from a place called the earth. At that time, I was the King of Killers! Ling Xue … was my biological sister in the previous life. But she killed me later. I didn't know why until I died. It became my obsession. "
"You can cook dishes and brew wine from the earth. So, there was a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to annoy you at that time!"
"My mother said that if I want to pursue you, I have to be honest with you. You already know all about my background. If you want to know more, I won't hold anything back from you! Are you willing to be my wife in the future? "
In the end, Ling Li's voice couldn't help but tremble. He stared at Su Li who slowly turned around. When he saw the expression on her face, his blood suddenly cooled down.
