The guests who hadn't left were shocked. Dongfang Yuyan reacted in time and shouted, "Where are the guards?!"
Swish! Swish!
The Royal Guards hiding around the garden immediately showed up. The heavy cavalry brought people a strong sense of security and immediately calmed down the commotion.
Su Li glanced around and saw an acquaintance.
Hu Dadan of the Royal Guards, the former subordinate of Wu Bin.
"Commander Hu, take people outside to see what happened."
Dongfang Yuyan hurriedly ordered. Hu Dadan didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed out of the courtyard. After a while, he came back with an ugly face, "Fourth Princess, something happened …"
Dongfang Yuyan's face changed slightly and she followed him out. The guests behind her didn't dare to leave the protection range of the Royal Guards and followed her closely.
Su Li pushed Ling Li's wheelchair and came last. At a glance, she saw the corpse lying on the ground. She thought for a moment and remembered the identity of this person. She was a Miss from an ordinary aristocratic family.
However, the face of this Miss now looked more like an old woman. Her whole body was pale, as if her blood had been sucked dry by something.
Many Misses from aristocratic families turned their heads and hid in their husbands' arms, shivering. Such a horrible death made even Hu Dadan, who had seen a lot of ferocious things in these years, couldn't help but feel cold.
Dongfang Yuyan realized the seriousness of the situation. She meditated for a while and said decisively, "Contact the Supreme Judiciary and let them come to take over the case immediately! In addition, Commander Hu, please escort the guests at my banquet home. Don't make any mistakes! "
Dongfang Yuyan's worry was reasonable. No one knew whether the murderer was still hiding around. It was easy to deal with the family of the dead woman who was not powerful. But if one or two powerful juniors of the family died, it would be really a big deal.
Maybe it would cause a storm like the childe of the Ma Family last time.
"Fourth Princess, don't worry. This is the fault of the Royal Guards. I will not let the same thing happen again!"
Hu Dadan solemnly nodded his head and immediately gave the order. One by one, the couples left under his meticulous arrangements. The Ling family's status was respected, so they naturally received special attention from Hu Dadan. He assigned two small teams to escort them away.
Ling Mo and Yun Yi naturally wouldn't say anything, although they all knew that if the hidden murderer was really more powerful than the two people in the sedan chair, the two pairs of guards couldn't stop him at all.
The sky wasn't dark yet, and there were pedestrians walking on the road from time to time. It seemed calm and peaceful, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Although Ling Li wanted to ask about the music, he had to focus on it first because of what had happened. He transmitted the sound, "You are proficient in pharmacology. What do you think about the corpse?"
Su Li glanced at Ling Li lightly and shook her head. She didn't speak.
Ling Li frowned slightly and glanced at Su Li's arm. With his eyesight, he could vaguely see the scab wound through the gauze.
He had an intuition that Su Li became extremely … thrifty after marriage!
What she saved was not money, but genuine energy. It was clear that genuine energy could speed up the healing of wounds, but she would rather keep the wounds to heal themselves. And the transmission of sound … The transmission of sound consumed very little genuine energy, almost negligible. But when Su Li went to the banquet with him, she only transmitted a short message when Dongfang Yang forced her.
Why was that?
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out why the genuine energy was saved. The hidden pneuma in Su Li's body was obviously closer to the longevity realm than his …
Only Su Li knew that she was in a state of only using strength. Every time she used her strength, she would be one step closer to death. If it wasn't necessary, she didn't want to waste a bit of foundation.
The carriage returned to the Ling Mansion safely. The captain of the Royal Guards who escorted them said some polite words and left. Su Li and Ling Mo were caught by Qiu Meng for a while, and then they returned to the East Courtyard to restore peace.
After a rest, Yun Yi and Ling Mo kept watch outside the study.
Su Li brought a cup of tea to prevent Qiu Meng from checking. Then she sat next to the bookshelf and said inexplicably, "Although I learned from the miracle-working doctor, the miracle-working doctor is not a coroner. I just took a look at him. What can I think? However, there are countless books in your cult. Maybe there are records of evil martial arts similar to this. "
Ling Li raised his eyebrows slightly and realized that Su Li was answering his question on the carriage. Although her voice was still cold, he heard some worry in her words.
It seemed that Li had a guess in her heart!
Thinking of this, Ling Li immediately asked Ling Mo to call Ling Qinglan and asked him to consult the classics in the cult. At the same time, he was more convinced of one thing.
Su Li was indeed saving the use of genuine energy!
Could it be that the rain that day had left behind some sort of aftereffect?
Recalling the situation at that time, Ling Li was shocked. He only cared about dealing with the contradiction between him and Su Li, but he ignored a very important point. That day, Li … was seriously injured!
Ling Li looked up at Su Li, who still had her back to him. He wanted to ask several times, but he was finally dispelled by Su Li's deliberate indifference. He knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get an answer.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the Third Elder wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. It seemed that there was something hidden from him. But at this moment, the Third Elder had returned to the mountain to practice in isolation. He could only ask after the Third Elder came out.
Next to the bookshelf, Su Li looked down at the book in her hand, but her thoughts drifted far away.
Ling Li's eyes were so bright that he didn't hide it. She naturally felt it.
However, what was the use of confessing?
She simply took advantage of the last time to finish all the things she wanted to do.
Everything was her choice. She didn't want to make anyone feel guilty. She could only say sorry to the person she let down in her heart. If there was another life, she would repay him. As for the time of her death, she would hide it as long as she could.
The corpse found today really made her guess.
In the previous life, she was a female devil, who made people in the martial arts circle tremble with fear. There was another emerging devil who was as famous as her, named Xue Xie.
Strictly speaking, she was no different from Xue Xie in the previous life. They both killed innocent people for their own interests. Xue Xie liked to devour human blood to improve her cultivation, and she used human as medicine to refine elixirs. At that time, the martial arts circle gave them a title, "Evil Duo of Blood and Elixir"!
Although this title brought her relationship with Xue Xie closer, in fact, she didn't know Xue Xie at all. She only wanted to improve her cultivation and revenge, so she was very careful. Xue Xie was much more unscrupulous than her. Before long, she was besieged and killed by the righteous sects. After that, there was only "Elixir Demon" in the martial arts circle, but no "Blood Demon".
Today's murder happened. From the scream to the people going out to check, it only took a few seconds. The woman's blood was sucked dry and she died.
This action naturally made him think of Xue Xie.
However, at this time in the previous life, Xue Xie hadn't been born, so she was not sure. But in this life, she had changed too many things. No one knew whether the butterfly effect had affected the process of the birth of Blood Demon.
Ling Qinglan just received the case and was confused. After receiving the news from Ling Li, he immediately had a direction and began to investigate.
After a few days, it seemed that because of the intervention of the Supreme Judiciary, the murderer didn't appear again. The panic caused by the corpse was slightly relieved.
In the evening, Yun Yi took a letter and sent it to Su Li.
The letter paper was very special. The material was not like paper, but like bark. It felt a little rough and there was no mark on it.
Su Li took it and her eyes flashed. She was no stranger to the unique wood grain paper of the Spiritual Realm. In the previous life, she also learned the craft of making this paper and exchanged it for cultivation resources.
While recalling, Su Li had already unfolded the letter. There were only a few numbers on it.
"In the middle of the night, let's talk in the Spiritual Realm — Jing Xin."
After reading it, Su Li immediately got up and left the Ling Mansion from the secret passage. After many days, the Ling Mansion had been used to her existence. It was much more convenient for her to move. She didn't need to be as troublesome as before.
This time, Su Li came to the stronghold of the Spiritual Realm from the Linli Building without alarming anyone. When she just arrived at the door, she saw Qu Xiao greeting her respectfully. He saluted and said, "Senior, Great Lord has been waiting for you on the top floor for a long time."
Su Li nodded gently, "Please lead the way."
"Senior, you are welcome."
Qu Xiao said politely. He didn't dare to neglect and quickly led Su Li in. At this moment, he was much more respectful than before.
Although he reported Su Li's news without delay, Great Lord came to Dahan Country in person after a few days, which made him immediately realize that Su Li's identity was more terrible than he imagined.
After sending Su Li to the attic on the top floor, Qu Xiao left consciously.
Su Li's heart beat slightly faster. She stepped forward and opened the door. A woman in white with her back to her immediately came into view. Sensing Su Li's coming, she turned around and showed a face.
This face could be said to be extremely ordinary without any beauty. But it was not ugly. It could only be said to be ordinary and inconspicuous. If she was put into the crowd, she would be immediately drowned by people and couldn't make any waves.
However, such an ordinary woman with no sense of existence at this moment gave Su Li the feeling that she was faintly integrated into the nothingness, as if she was not in the mortal world but standing in the fairy land.
"You finally think of me."
The woman smiled slightly, and the first sentence revealed a lot of things.
Su Li didn't know why. After seeing Jing Xin, she immediately calmed down. It was a sense of peace that no one could give her. This feeling was exactly the same as in the previous life.
Hearing Jing Xin's words, Su Li also chuckled, "Jing Xin, you still remember me."
The relationship between her and Jing Xin was unclear. In the previous life, she was saved by Jing Xin. She was so grateful and even wanted to follow her. But Jing Xin asked her to treat her as a friend. Later, after getting along with her, she and Jing Xin became more like a teacher and a friend.
Therefore, Su Li directly called Jing Xin by her name.
