In the dim night, a beautiful woman in plain white clothes came into Ling Qinglan's eyes. She looked a little nervous and her eyes were extremely bright. She was looking at him with a very strange look.
Ling Qinglan raised his eyebrows and walked to her. He said softly, "It's late at night. It's not peaceful in Yunjing City. What are you doing here alone?"
Then, the beautiful woman didn't answer. She just looked at him blankly. It seemed that she was stunned.
Ling Qinglan felt more and more strange. He looked at her carefully and his expression changed slightly. He recognized her. Wasn't she the former top girl of the Hongyan House, Qu Lu?
Usually, Qu Lu was seductive with heavy makeup in the brothel. But now she changed her face. He almost didn't recognize her. However, after the Auction Fair, the woman's identity had been exposed. She was the Xiangzhu of the Hehuan Sect. Why did she suddenly appear here tonight?
Thinking of this, Ling Qinglan smiled and tentatively said, "Why do you come here so late at night?"
Qu Lu was slightly shocked. But when she thought of the warning of the Linli Building, her heart sank slightly. She took a deep breath and said nervously, "Yi Mo."
"… You!"
Ling Qinglan's expression changed dramatically. He knocked Qu Lu out and took her to the East Courtyard of the Ling Mansion.
After a breeze, there were two more people in the East Courtyard. Ling Mo saw Ling Qinglan holding a woman. He couldn't help but feel strange. Ling Li also frowned and asked.
"Don't get me wrong. This woman actually knows my real identity, so I brought her back."
Ling Qinglan explained and put Qu Lu down. There was a trace of doubt in his heart. This woman clearly had the cultivation of the acquired ninth hurdle. If she wanted to escape from him, although it was not troublesome, it would take some effort.
But just now, the woman didn't struggle at all, as if she knew that he wouldn't hurt her. Could it be —
"Is she an old friend …"
Ling Qinglan's eyes changed. He stared at Qu Lu's face, but he couldn't find any connection between her and him.
"You can interrogate this person. Since she can recognize you, maybe she knows more detailed information about the destruction of the Yi Family." Ling Li said lightly. He stood up and said, "I have to prepare the Wudao Stone. This study is for you temporarily. Ling Mo, let's go. "
Ling Li left the study without saying anything. Ling Qinglan was stunned for a moment. He shook his head and laughed. After Su Li's affair, Ling Li was more decisive than before.
"Cough, cough …"
Qu Lu, who was lying on the rattan chair, coughed and opened her eyes blankly. She saw that she was in the same room with Ling Qinglan and there was no one else. She was relieved and looked at Ling Qinglan's face with a trace of nostalgia and fascination.
Ling Qinglan snorted uncomfortably and said indifferently, "Miss, there are only you and me here. You don't have to play dumb. Tell me, who told you my real name?"
Qu Lu trembled and was surprised. But when she heard Ling Qinglan's question, tears appeared in her eyes. She murmured, "Mo, you are really Mo. Do you remember you have an elder sister? "
Sister?
When Ling Qinglan heard this, he was shocked, but he was still unmoved on the surface. He shouted coldly, "Nonsense! I'm the only son in the Yi family. How can I have an elder sister? If you still talk nonsense, don't blame me for being merciless and torturing you! "
Hearing Ling Qinglan's cold words, Qu Lu was completely panicked. Was it because the tragedy of that year had such a great impact on him that he completely forgot her?
"No, Mo … how could he forget me? I am your Sister Xue! "
Qu Lu couldn't believe it. She couldn't help but step forward and hug Ling Qinglan's back. Her tears were like broken beads. She said, "Did you … forget the agreement by the lake on that snowy night …"
As soon as she finished her words, Qu Lu felt that her shoulders were suddenly pinched. She looked up blankly and found that Ling Qinglan had turned around and looked at her with surprise. His cold expression had long melted and was as soft as spring water.
"Sister Xue, it's really you!"
Qu Lu stared at Ling Qinglan blankly. After a long time, she finally burst into laughter. She wiped her tears and said with grievance, "Little brother, I haven't seen you for so many years. You even want to test your elder sister."
Ling Qinglan was ashamed and said, "I don't want to. But now the situation in Yunjing City is unclear. I can only do this. Only you and I know the agreement between you and me. Even if you are not Sister Xue, you must be someone very close to her. So, I can feel relieved to recognize you."
Qu Lu touched her face and sighed softly, "There is a reason why I look like this. No wonder you don't dare to recognize me."
"Sister Xue, why do you have a relationship with the people of the Hehuan Sect?"
Ling Qinglan frowned and couldn't help but ask.
Qu Lu stared at Ling Qinglan, who was already good-looking. She immediately smiled slightly.
She told him everything about her experience in the Hehuan Sect. As for her encounter with Mr. Li, she didn't mention anything.
"Damn it! The old witch Ye Tian is so vicious. She learned the secret skill to kill others and treat you like this?! I'm going to get even with her! "
Ling Qinglan's eyes were red and he was furious. He couldn't wait to rush to the nest of the Hehuan Sect and kill Ye Tian.
Qu Lu quickly held Ling Qinglan and comforted him, "Don't! Although the Yinmo Cult is powerful, the Hehuan Sect is also a big sect. If you rashly kill the Hehuan Sect, you will expose yourself and give the royal family a chance. Besides, the Hongchen Powder in my body has been detoxified. I have escaped from the Hongyan House. In the future, the people of the Hehuan Sect will not find me. "
The gentle voice of his sister was like the murmur of a brook. It soothed Ling Qinglan's violent mood. He took a deep breath and calmed down. His eyes flashed with wisdom.
"Sister Xue, it is said that the Hongchen Powder is incurable. How did you get rid of the control of the Hehuan Sect?"
Ling Qinglan was puzzled. Although he no longer doubted Qu Lu's identity, how could his sister suddenly escape after being trapped in the Hehuan Sect for nine years with her ability?
Hearing that, Qu Lu was slightly shocked. She unconsciously thought of Su Li's order.
"Although the Linli Building cooperates with the Yinmo Cult, we have some unpleasantness recently. Our relationship is not the same as before. If you dare to reveal any information about the Linli Building, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
Mr. Li had always been mysterious. If he was ruthless, what would he do?
Qu Lu thought of the first time she met Su Li. Every time she made a move secretly and every time she probed, she was defeated. She couldn't help but shudder. Such a person was usually kind. But if she violated the agreement, the Mr. Li would be ruthless. The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Sister Xue, what are you thinking? Why are you sweating?"
Ling Qinglan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat for Qu Lu. Qu Lu came back to herself with fear. She forced a smile and whispered,
"Xiaomo, although I want to tell you everything, I have an agreement with the person who saved me. I can't reveal any information about him. I can only tell you that I seized the opportunity at the auction at the end of last year and successfully escaped from the sight of the Hehuan Sect. Then we can meet. "
Ling Qinglan frowned. Qu Lu's words were very straightforward. It was not appropriate for him to continue to ask. The mysterious person who helped him secretly could find out his real identity and the identity of the Yinmo Cult. It was extremely difficult.
"Sister Xue, you are tired. Let me help you to have a rest. I will arrange your identity well."
They left the study and came to the courtyard where Ling Qinglan lived. Qu Lu smiled slightly and reached out to smooth Ling Qinglan's eyebrows. She said softly, "You don't have to worry about me. I have endured for nine years. Now I will be more careful when I meet you. The senior taught me the secret skill of disguise. I will disguise myself and follow you."
Then, Qu Lu didn't say anything more. She turned around and walked into the room.
Ling Qinglan's heart sank. Who was helping Sister Xue? The person even taught her the secret skill of disguise, which was rare in the martial arts circle.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Qinglan subconsciously thought of a person.
Could it be him?
Ling Qinglan slightly pursed his lips. His life was saved by him. Now, if his sister came back because of him, he really didn't know how to repay such a great kindness.
Even if he could detoxify the Hongchen Powder, he must pay a big price …
After thinking about it, Ling Qinglan shook his head and sighed.
Everything was his guess. Since Sister Xue didn't want to say it, he couldn't force her. It was lucky that she came back safely. There was no need to get to the bottom of it.
…
After the disturbance of Qu Lu, a few days later, Su Li received a message from Fang Yuan every day. She was more and more awestruck.
She had cooperated with the Yinmo Cult. The two forces worked together to find the Wanjian Sect, but they didn't find any trace!
"It's impossible. Unless … the Wanjian Sect has cooperated with the local forces in Yunjing City and hid in a place that we can't find."
Fang Yuan analyzed in a low voice. Obviously, he also noticed the abnormality.
"If so, don't waste your effort." Su Li's eyes flashed. She thought for a moment and suddenly said, "You go to contact someone."
What?
Fang Yuan was stunned and raised his head in surprise. Did Su Li have a backup plan in the dark?
On the second day, Fang Yuan, who disguised himself, sat on the second floor of an unknown teahouse. He slowly drank tea and silently counted the time. After a while, a man in bamboo hat suddenly sat down in front of him. Without saying anything, he picked up the wine and drank it. Then he tapped the table with his fingers.
"Hearty!"
Fang Yuan smiled and replied, "It's to drink together."
The man in bamboo hat immediately lowered his head and whispered, "Protector Fang, I pay my respects."
"Is there anything unusual in the royal family?"
Fang Yuan came straight to the point. Obviously, he trusted the man in bamboo hat very much. If he lifted the bamboo hat, he would find that the man was Dongfang He, who was captured at the auction that day!
Several months later, the effect of the secret skill on Dongfang He didn't weaken, but became more powerful. He was completely loyal to Su Li and even had more members to inquire for information for Su Li.
All the shameful information in the Xisan Institute of the Imperial Palace was passed to Su Li through Dongfang He.
Hearing Fang Yuan's question, Dongfang He immediately told him in detail what happened recently.
