On the side of the street, in an ordinary secular restaurant.
The middle-aged man in linen stared blankly at the woman in red sitting by the window on the second floor with half of her face exposed.
That face … was so familiar!
He would never forget it.
However, the owner of this face should have long been scared out of his wits!
In shock, the middle-aged man in linen had no time to shock the world. He disappeared in a flash and landed in front of the window on the second floor.
"It's a practitioner. Run!"
"Ah!"
"…"
The bustling second floor was immediately scared away by him. In the blink of an eye, it was empty. The woman in red was scared stiff. She looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her and didn't dare to move.
The middle-aged man in linen stared at the woman in red and was speechless for a long time.
He saw the fear and panic in the woman's eyes, which didn't seem to be fake.
It was not her. She just looked like her.
If that person was really reincarnated … The middle-aged man in linen recalled the origin of that person he had inquired about. He shook his head and was about to leave.
How could there be an afterlife if the natural law didn't tolerate it?
The middle-aged man in linen took two steps and suddenly felt something was wrong.
No, the dishes on the table …
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly turned around. He walked to the table and sat down. He was so familiar with the dishes on the table.
Beggar's Chicken, Osmanthus Cake, and 100g of Heart-burning Liquor.
He had tasted these dishes more than once in the secular world after returning to Qingshui Circle. But without exception, he vomited after one mouthful … They were not as delicious as before.
Could it be a coincidence?
The middle-aged man in linen was silent for a long time. He looked at the woman sitting across the table and trembled slightly. He hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Who are you?"
"I …"
The woman in red just said a word. The middle-aged man in linen suddenly frowned and tore her ear.
Crash!
A thin mask fell from her face.
When the mask fell, the woman in red revealed her true face. The fear on her face disappeared instantly and became gloomy.
"Su Jiuzhou?!"
The middle-aged man in linen recognized her at a glance when he saw the woman's face. He showed a rare astonishment on his indifferent face, "It's you?"
Su Li sneered and said sarcastically, "Doesn't your Su Family want to kill me? Why are you so surprised to find me? Now that I'm seriously injured, since I was unlucky enough to be discovered by you, if you want to kill me or cut me into pieces, it's up to you. "
The middle-aged man in linen sighed slightly and tried to make his voice gentle, "Su Dieyin asked me to come to you."
"House owner?"
Su Li was surprised and seemed to have figured out a lot in an instant. She said in a respectful voice, "It turns out that I misunderstood you. If you are on the side of the First Elder, you will kill me immediately after seeing through my identity. You will not talk to me calmly."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and looked at the mask in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help asking, "Where did you get this mask from?"
Su Li's eyes flashed. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's just a mask made of rice and flour. If you like it, I can make one for you."
"Then this face …"
"What's wrong with this face?" Su Li asked in confusion.
Seeing that she really didn't know anything, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and finally said, "This face is very similar to an old friend of mine. Have you seen her somewhere?"
Hearing this, Su Li's narrow and long eyes flashed a vague arc, but she said helplessly, "Senior, I just wanted to escape. I just made this mask casually. I don't have any reference. I'm afraid it's just a coincidence."
The middle-aged man in linen was stunned and looked at the food on the table.
Was there really such a coincidence in the world?
"I haven't thanked you for coming to find me. May I know your name, so that I can remember your name and … repay you in the future!"
Su Li said softly, and her tone was slightly heavier when she said the last four words.
The middle-aged man in linen didn't care. His last name had been exposed, and it was meaningless to keep hiding.
"My last name is Ling."
"Senior Ling."
Su Li called, and her eyes were full of light.
Ling Qinglan? Or Ling Mo? Or … Ling Ping?
She stared at the face of the middle-aged man in linen, but she couldn't find anyone who matched the features in her memory.
At this moment, there was only one thing that could be confirmed. The middle-aged man in linen was also a member of the Reincarnation Mirror.
"I'll take you back."
The middle-aged man in linen quickly came out of the dilemma. With his experience and state of mind, he wouldn't waste time on this matter if it wasn't related to Su Li.
"Back?"
Su Li raised her eyebrows, "Senior, I just escaped from there. Do you want me to go back?"
Perhaps because of the mask, the middle-aged man in linen didn't get angry in the face of her questioning. He just said seriously, "If Su Dieyin doesn't care about you, I will protect you."
Even if it was fake and irrelevant, as long as it was similar to that woman, he would try his best to make it up to her. Whether it was Ling Li or him, they owed her too much, and … they could never repay it.
Su Li's eyes changed slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "I met you by chance, and I believe that there is no free lunch in the world … Why?"
Perhaps Su Li's persistence let the middle-aged man in linen see more memories. He twitched his mouth and tried to show a smile, but he found that he couldn't.
After his efforts were in vain, he shook his head, waved his sleeves to roll up Su Li, and rose into the nothingness, leaving an unnoticeable sigh.
Half a day later, the middle-aged man in linen returned to Su Li's mother's yard. He immediately sensed the tense atmosphere, and even faintly smelled a trace of blood.
His face changed slightly, and he quickly flashed into the yard.
Su Li's eyes flashed, and she followed him, spreading out her divine awareness silently.
After entering Jindan Realm, her psychic awareness had transformed into divine awareness, which covered a wider range and was more inconspicuous. Even people in Huashen Realm couldn't sense it.
In other words, people like Su Dingchuan and Su Chenke couldn't detect her spying at all.
Before stepping into the yard, Su Li saw Su Chenke's face in her divine awareness, and her eyes instantly turned cold. This person … she would recognize him even if he turned into ashes!
There were three Grand Elders who supported the prosperity of the Su Family.
This person was the second eldest. In the childhood memory that she retrieved, it was this person who advocated to provide her flesh and blood to the talents of the Su Family for eating, and he himself did it more than once …
Later, when she went to Yuxu Sect, this person showed strong killing intent and hostility to her more than once. Now thinking about it, he should be afraid that she would kill him when she grew up.
Only when Su Li was really dead could he be at ease.
"Now, you should be quite at ease …"
Su Li's lips curved imperceptibly, and she slowly walked into the yard. As soon as she appeared, all the eyes in the yard immediately focused on her.
Su Li glanced around, and her eyes paused slightly on Su Dingchuan and Su Dingxian. She skipped Su Chenke and finally fell on Su Dieyin.
When Su Dieyin saw Su Jiuzhou, she was full of surprise. She hurriedly leaned over and grasped Su Li's hands tightly, "Jiuzhou, it's really great that you are fine."
Su Li felt that something was stuffed in her hands. She nodded calmly and said with shame, "Master, I made you worry. I noticed that someone wanted to kill me, so I escaped in advance. Master, please don't blame me. "
Su Dieyin trusted Su Li very much. She had already guessed it in her heart. Now that it was confirmed, she didn't doubt what Su Li said at all. She nodded and sighed, "How can I blame you? If you really died in the hands of the villains, I …"
Before she finished her words, Su Dingxian suddenly interrupted her loudly, "Nonsense! Su Dieyin, if you want to make up a lie, there should be a limit! When did I send someone to kill Su Jiuzhou? Don't slander me! "
Su Dieyin comforted Su Jiuzhou and raised her head with a sneer, "I just said that the villains were chasing after her. Is it really good for First Elder to admit it in such a hurry?"
"… You!"
Su Dingxian's chest heaved violently when he heard the words, and his lungs were about to explode. It was the first time that he was made a scapegoat for no reason, and he couldn't even clear his name.
Indeed, he wanted to do something secretly to make Su Jiuzhou a real waste. However, before he could carry out all of this, he received a secret report from Ya 'er. But later, Ya' er died, and the palace was destroyed. Until now, he couldn't find any evidence to prove that everything he did was based on evidence.
"What's wrong? Isn't First Elder usually very talkative? Why are you so reticent when it comes to dealing with Bao Gongting?"
Seeing this, Su Dieyin thought that Su Dingchuan had a guilty conscience, so she sneered mercilessly.
Su Li stood behind her and blinked.
How could Su Dingxian be defeated before she made a move? This was unacceptable.
She turned her head and saw Su Xianyun with a pale face. She immediately moved over and whispered, "A lot of things seem to have happened after I left …"
Su Xianyun covered his chest and couldn't help coughing twice. Then he transmitted the sound to Su Li about what happened in the past few days.
"… After Uncle Guang went to find you, the Grand Elder of Su Family seemed to fancy Uncle Guang's strength and had been inquiring about Uncle Guang's origin. Master refused to tell him, which caused the Grand Elder's dissatisfaction and left. It didn't take long for Su Dingxian's people to come!
Because of you, Su Dingxian had a big quarrel with Master. Finally, they had a fight. Master's grandmother was almost killed by a slap. I was injured at that time. Later, the Grand Elder came back and stopped the fight. The two sides are in a stalemate. "
Su Xianyun smiled bitterly. Su Li glanced at Su Zheng again and found that he was staring at Su Wenbing fiercely, as if he was looking at his mortal enemy.
On the other hand, Su Wenbing was expressionless, as if he had completely forgotten Su Dieyin's hundreds of years of kindness. He was really ruthless.
The middle-aged man in linen came to the wheelchair of Su Dieyin's mother. Although Su Dieyin's mother looked calm, it could be seen that she was greatly frightened.
The middle-aged man's face darkened, but Su Dieyin's mother hurriedly pulled his sleeve and shook her head pleadingly.
The eyes of the middle-aged man in linen softened. He clenched his fist for a moment and finally released it. He stood beside the wheelchair without saying anything.
Seeing this scene, Su Li was lost in thought.
What was he afraid of?
"Alright, let's all quiet down. I understand now. Are you Su Jiuzhou? "
At this time, Su Chenke, who had been silent since the return of the middle-aged man in linen, suddenly opened his mouth and stared at Su Li.
