The frost in the early morning of spring was very thick. Both sides of the street were covered with white, and it would not fade until the sun rose.
In the room where Su Li lived in the Affiliated School of the National Academy, the charcoal crackled, and wisps of heat rose from the holes of the heater, making the room as warm as spring.
Su Li wore a thin coat and reclined on the soft couch by the window. A pair of clear eyes stared at the old booklet in her hand. She was extremely fascinated.
When the first ray of morning light came in through the window, Su Li squinted her beautiful eyes and put down the booklet in her hand.
"I didn't expect that after breaking the ring, my understanding has been improved so much. In just two days, I have comprehended the fourth hurdle of Ao Sword Skills, and I am not far from the fifth hurdle."
She couldn't think of the disadvantages of breaking the ring, and the consciousness in Mei Ruohan's mind would not tell her. So, it was useless to think about how to use the foundation after breaking the ring.
She had made some discoveries after studying these days.
The speed of practice had become faster!
And it was not just a little bit faster. If she wanted, she could break through to the longevity realm in another month!
Her current state was more suitable to say "conversion" than to practice. Converting the foundation into cultivation was certainly faster than absorbing the spiritual power from the outside world.
Of course, the more and faster she practiced, the closer she would be to death. If she couldn't grasp this point well, it would be useless to have a higher cultivation.
The second point was the improvement of the understanding.
Su Li's eyes flickered slightly. She had obtained Ao Sword Skills from Jin Cheng 'ao for a long time, but she always lingered in the fourth hurdle and couldn't enter the fifth hurdle. Although she had some achievements in swordsmanship in the previous life, her talent was still not good enough to comprehend such a wonderful book as Ao Sword Skills.
But these defects disappeared after the ring was broken!
It seemed that her innate understanding was so enchanting and beyond the cognition.
"Fortunately, I comprehend Ao Sword Skills based on my understanding and didn't consume the foundation. Otherwise, no matter how much foundation I have, I can't stand the consumption."
Su Li sighed softly. If a warrior only had the strength of genuine energy without the means to fight against the enemy, he was simply a waste!
A Xiantian second stage martial artist who only knew how to practice, if he were to encounter a Xiantian first stage martial artist who had gone through hundreds of battles, then he might not even be able to last one move. Cultivation was one aspect, and martial techniques were another. Only by possessing both could one become an expert of the same level!
"My cultivation is now stuck at the peak of the inborn realm. I don't know how much foundation will be consumed to break through to the longevity realm. Now it's not the right time, and I don't have to rush to break through. It's better to spend all my time on Martial Arts. With my terrifying comprehension, I may be able to compete with the longevity realm!"
While Su Li was thinking, Mammy Li's joyful voice came from outside the door.
"Young Miss, the Young Master is here!"
Young Master?
Su Li was stunned, and then the indifference on her face became gentle, "Is it my eldest brother?"
"That's right. Young Master Qingtan just came back last night and came this morning!"
Mammy Li's voice came again. A smile appeared on Su Li's face, "Let Eldest Brother wait for a while. I will change my clothes now."
"Sigh!"
Mammy Li responded and quickly went to reply.
Soon after, Su Li changed her clothes and came to the front room. Then she saw Mammy Li and Su Qingtan chatting casually.
"Mammy, if you didn't take the risk to find me two years ago, I wouldn't know that my Second Sister had suffered so much. Now the bitterness is over and the happiness is coming."
"What the Young Master said is right!"
Su Qingtan sighed with emotion. Su Li's origin did not affect his love for Su Li, which began to sprout a long time ago. Now that he knew that Su Li was not related to him by blood, he didn't know what his feelings for Su Li were.
"Eldest Brother!"
A clear and melodious voice suddenly came, which was as sweet as clear spring water. Su Qingtan's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and saw Su Li in plain white clothes walking towards him. Her temperament was more ethereal than before, and her skirt was fluttering like a fairy descending to the world.
Su Qingtan was stunned for a while. He hadn't seen his Second Sister for more than half a year. Although her beautiful face was covered by the secret skill of Nothing Unusual, it was still intoxicating.
"Eldest Brother, what are you looking at?"
The voice was getting closer. Su Qingtan came to his sense and smiled bitterly, "Second Sister, with your appearance now, I'm afraid that many people will come to propose marriage to you."
Su Li squinted her eyes and chuckled, "Eldest Brother, what are you talking about? No one comes and no one dares to come."
Hearing this, Su Qingtan was stunned again. In his impression, his Second Sister would never say such overbearing words.
She became confident and calm. She was no longer a weak girl who had to ask for his opinion.
If he compared Su Li to a frightened deer in the past, now she became an elegant white swan, noble and cool.
Thinking of Su Li's current identity, Su Qingtan's expression was slightly stiff. He forced a smile and said, "Second Sister, you seem to have changed a lot in the past half a year."
"People always change."
Su Li pretended to sigh and immediately hugged Su Qingtan's arm. She said seriously, "But no matter how I change, you are my Eldest Brother!"
Su Qingtan was slightly stunned. He was stunned for a moment, but a silly smile appeared on his face. He nodded heavily.
"I will always be your Eldest Brother!"
At the same time, the strangeness in Su Qingtan's heart faded away. At the same time, he felt a little ashamed. For a moment, he thought that Su Li would alienate him because of her identity.
Sure enough, he thought too much. No matter how his Second Sister's temperament changed, as long as she didn't change in front of him, it was enough.
After thinking it through, Su Qingtan opened his mind and played with Su Li for a day. He didn't leave until the evening. Ling Qinglan only gave him one day to rest, and he spent all his time on Su Li.
"Eldest Brother, be careful on the way."
Su Qingtan's carriage drove away from the Affiliated School of the National Academy. Su Li's gentle and cordial expression faded away. She returned to the room. Fang Yuan, who was hiding behind the screen, appeared in a flash. He frowned and said,
"Su Qingtan got involved in the Yinmo Cult. Shall we get him out?"
With the Hongyan House as an intelligence agent, the Linli Building knew the situation in Yunjing City like the palm of its hand. Although everything was calm now, the Yinmo Cult … would eventually attack the royal family. If Su Qingtan got involved, he would definitely be in danger.
Su Li's eyes were slightly gloomy. All kinds of thoughts flashed through her eyes. Then she shook her head and said, "No. Qiyu Xuangong is the secret of the Yinmo Cult. Eldest Brother has practiced it, so he is the core figure of the Yinmo Cult. Even if Ling Li is willing to let him go, the elders of the Yinmo Cult will not agree."
"It turns out that there is such a secret."
Fang Yuan's heart sank and he stopped talking. Compared with Su Li, his vision was still too narrow.
Su Li worried about many things at this time, but Su Qingtan was not. The current situation was stable. With the help of Ling Qinglan, Su Qingtan was now an inborn senior. His temperament and life-saving ability had been greatly improved. It was not so easy for him to be killed.
What she cared about most at the moment was the Wanjian Sect.
Since the Auction House, the people of the Wanjian Sect had disappeared. Wen Tingshan came back from the Qinghe Province. It was unreasonable that there was no movement for such a long time.
There were only two possibilities in this situation. The first possibility was that the people of the Wanjian Sect had left and stopped chasing Wen Tingshan. But for the position of the head of the Wanjian Sect, they would not easily give up.
Then there was only the second possibility. They were delayed by something. Maybe someone was facing a breakthrough, or maybe they were facing greater interests.
"There are few forces in Yunjing City who can help to cover their tracks so well!"
Su Li's eyes flashed. She said, "Help me to make an appointment with Ling Li as' Mr. Li '. The time is tomorrow!"
"See him?!"
Fang Yuan was slightly shocked and his face became pale. He couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to see him?"
Su Li turned around. Her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made Fang Yuan inexplicably frightened.
"I just …"
Fang Yuan wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by Su Li's cold voice.
"The Wanjian Sect is a great threat. If we can't find him, the Linli Building will not be peaceful. The Yinmo Cult and the Wanjian Sect used to have a bad relationship in the spiritual circle. It is a win-win situation to cooperate with the Yinmo Cult. And … "
Speaking of this, Su Li's eyes were complicated, and her expression was still cold. She said, "Because of my affairs, the Linli Building should also respond. This is the best time for me to get rid of the relationship with 'Mr. Li'!"
Fang Yuan frowned when he heard it, and then he stretched his eyebrows. There was an obscure surprise on his cold face.
Although he still didn't know what Su Li wanted to do after hearing these words, it was the first time that Su Li explained the purpose of the action to him, so he was naturally happy.
Soon after, Fang Yuan left in the night.
Su Li looked at the dim night sky and stood in the cold wind for a moment. Then she returned to the room and continued to study the Ao Sword Skills.
Soon, the news of the Linli Building came to the Ling Mansion.
"Li's affairs happened seven days ago, and the Linli Building responded. Did Mr. Li make an appointment?"
Ling Li received the news and frowned deeply. This matter was full of strangeness.
It was too strange. If Mr. Li intended to stand up for Su Li, he should not be so slow. But if he didn't have a deep relationship with Su Li, he should not get involved in this kind of thing, so as to avoid trouble.
Ling Qinglan, who came to deliver the news, also looked dignified. He said in a deep voice, "Before, we had always been in a cooperative relationship with the Linli Building. We even established a preliminary friendship with the Linli Building because of the Full Moon and Heart Strings incident. Now we rely on the Linli Building for a lot of elixirs and poisons. If Mr. Li cuts off the supply, our actions are bound to be affected."
Ling Li closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows. Then he opened his eyes again, and his eyes were shining.
"Tomorrow, I will be well prepared. No matter what Mr. Li does, I will take it!"
