Chapter 205 Not the Way You Think
“Miss, is that alright if nobody goes with you?”
Mammy Li worried, “It’s been unsafe in the city recently.”
Su Li smiled and said, “Relax. It’s daytime. Don’t all those terrible things happen at night? I’m going to the downtown. It is okay.”
The man in dark gloated. He thought that Su Li was too naive.
Su Li got off from the carriage of the Lord Rui’s Mansion when she arrived at the downtown street. She walked and appreciated all kinds of jewelry items, but did not buy anything. It seemed that nothing was attractive to her.
The man casually took a bamboo hat and wore it. He followed behind Su Li quietly, picked up the jewelry items that Su Li had touched and looked at them. He hesitated for a moment and bought one of those which was beautiful in his mind.
Women were troublesome.
“Well, I’ve heard that a new jewelry shop opened in the next street. It’s better to take a look. But there are not so many people in that street. Is that supposed to be dangerous?”
Su Li said to herself. She seemed hesitant and finally smiled, “It should be safe if I only take a look there.”
Su Li walked happily towards the less crowed alleyway on her left. Seeing this, the man turned murderous instantly. He caught the opportunity and followed without hesitation into the alley. He saw Su Li walking in front of him and quickly approached her.
At the same time, a flashing three-foot sword appeared under the man’s wide robe and was stabbed at Su Li fiercely.
Cracks!
A strange sound!
The moment the sword was stabbed, the man’s look changed instantly. He planned to retreat into the downtown immediately, but at this moment, there was a slight cracking sound behind him.
When?
The man in a bamboo hat was shocked, but he remained as cool as a cucumber. He turned around and fought with Su Li face-to-face.
Bang!
A huge and horrifying force came along the sword’s tip, and her long sword broke and became useless.
The man was holding a treasured sword.
Su Li’s face changed slightly. She let go of her strength by taking advantage of the power, stepped back for a few steps and rushed to the man empty-handed.
“What a fool!”
The man in the bamboo hat sneered. It was suicidal if someone rushed to him without a weapon in hands. His sword was aimed at Su Li’s heart without hesitation, and he moved his feet fast. The lightning speed was deadly.
Just then, the man in the bamboo hat suddenly changed his complexion. He stopped and stepped back frantically. He was covering his chest, and the numbness began to spread from his chest to his whole body.
He got poisoned.
But when?
Suddenly he thought of something and tremblingly took out a hairpin.
It was the hairpin.
Su Li chuckled softly, “You dared to pick up the items that a little girl had touched. Really impressive! Rest assured. The poison won’t kill you, but you cannot move in four hours. You will recover after a day and night. However…
Su Li blinked, “I guess you are a practitioner of the longevity realm? Are you seriously injured? Otherwise, I will suffer in the fight that just happened.”
Su Li reached out her hand and wiped the bloody wound on her right hand. With a green flash, the wound soon crusted and fell off. She recovered.
The man’s pupils shrank. He lifted his three-foot sword and put it down weakly. His voice was low and dumb, “Who are you?”
At this moment, he was anxious to go back and kill Wu Lirong first. This was not any ordinary woman who had the acquired eighth hurdle and only mastered some simple healing methods.
This was clearly a horrible female practitioner who mastered the wood star force of the spiritual circle and whose cultivation was as good as his.
Right now he was seriously injured, and his strength couldn’t be released. He was just a gift delivered to door.
The enemy had also mastered a variety of poison skills and did not honor any rules in the battle.
The man didn’t want to confront such a horrible enemy at all when he was in the sect, but he was unlucky in the secular world today.
Thud…
Su Li came face-to-face. The man in the bamboo hat was paralyzed and speechless. He could do nothing but watched Su Li approaching.
Picking up the man’s right arm with one hand, Su Li dragged him down the alley with an inch off the ground.
“Why don’t you kill me?”
The man in a bamboo hat transmitted the sound in silence with difficulty. Su Li smiled slightly and took the hairpin from him. She said, “Can’t I suddenly become interested in you?”
Su Li always tortured those killers first and interrogated them before killing in the previous life.
But the man was a master of the longevity realm from the spiritual circle. The hairpin indicated clearly that he was still thinking about another woman. Could a practitioner of the longevity realm engage in the killer business?
For all these reasons, Su Li suddenly became interested in this man. Maybe after clearing her thoughts, she could hire another free swordsman from the longevity realm for the Linli Building.
Quickly, Su Li arrived at the back door of the Linli Building with the puzzled man. It was Qu Qingning that opened the door and saw that Su Li came with a strange man.
Then, Xuan Jingzhou, who had been observing in the dark next door, was surprised at this scene. Why did Su Li come here?
“What are you doing, Su Li…”
Before Qu Qingning finished his talk, Su Li noticed that someone was spying on her. She came in directly. Qu Qingning realized that the man couldn’t move and was dragged all the way by Su Li.
Fang Yuan followed them to the top floor and was curious about this man. The man’s condition was much better than Luo Yichen’s. At that time, Luo Yichen was covered all over with blood.
Su Li took a cyan porcelain bottle from the table and fed some water on the man’s lips. It didn’t take long for the man to feel that he could open his mouth, but other parts of the face were still numb.
The bamboo hat was lifted up. It was a very ordinary man, and nothing was wrong after she applied the observation skills.
Did he play the trick?
Su Li frowned and speculated.
The man was dazzled by the sudden bright light, and he could see the scene inside the house, which immediately shocked him.
There were three Young Masters here, actually four plus Su Li.
The quantity of seniors was almost equal to that of his original sect. The Young Master was also extremely precious in the spiritual circle. Those who could communicate with the sky and earth before the age of twenty were geniuses. They could even have the chance to exist in the legendary realm.
Therefore, every Young Master was a seed that was carefully protected in the spiritual circle.
And now so many Young Masters gathered in such an inconspicuous winery in the secular world. In the spiritual circle, people might fight for them. Even an experienced and knowledgeable person like him was puzzled.
Su Li had been to the spiritual circle. Of course, she knew why the man was shocked, and she became more vigilant. The Ao Sword Skills must never be exposed. Otherwise, the force she just created would be destroyed by various forces of the spiritual circle.
Thinking about this, Su Li laughed loudly and said, “Mr. Killer, aren’t you going to say something?”
Killer?
Fang Yuan and others looked a little puzzled. This man was the killer who attacked Su Li. Then why did Su Li bring him to the Linli Building?
The man snorted, “Since you got me, please do whatever you like.”
“Really?”
Su Li raised her brows slightly, flipped her palm, took out the jade hairpin and squinted to say, “Imagine what will happen to the owner of this item.”
The man changed his expression and fell into a long silence.
No matter how Su Li inquired and provoked him, the man remained silent. It seemed that he was waiting to die.
Su Li knitted her eyebrows and ordered Qu Qingning and Fang Mu to take him to take a bath first. This man had not changed his clothes for a long time. He stank like a beggar. Why didn’t a practitioner of the longevity realm care about his appearance?
“Why me?”
Qu Qingning was angry obviously. He hated providing bath services to another man.
Fang Mu was also speechless. He had just arrived in Yunjing not long ago and been tasked with various ridiculous errands.
Su Li shook her head and said, “There are only four people here. You and Fang Mu are at the lowest cultivation degree. Any questions? Are you willing to give Yin Xuetong a task…”
The thought of Yin Xuetong helping other men take a bath gave Qu Qingning goose bumps. He picked up the man and ran towards the bathhouse.
Fang Mu looked at him and laughed loudly. Qingning was still as fun as before.
“Mu, you need to help.”
Su Li handed over a white porcelain bottle to him and said, “Apply the poison to that person every an hour. Keep it in mind.”
Fang Mu scratched his head and took it carefully lest he would also be infected with the poison of paralysis. He couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Su Li, the poison you have made can sustain four hours. Why are you so careful…”
Su Li shook her head and said thoughtfully, “That man is different.”
Hearing this, Fang Yuan was surprised.
Why was he different?
Su Li said no one survived the poison, whether it was an inborn or acquired senior. Was he…
“He is a practitioner of the longevity realm.”
Su Li didn’t hide the truth. Hearing what Su Li said, the two were surprised. Fang Mu grasped the white bottle and ran to the bathhouse immediately. He would poison the man every fifteen minutes.
One must be very careful in face of an enemy in the longevity realm.
There was always hot water in the bathhouse. Feeling suffocated, Qu Qingning arrived at the bathhouse, rolled up his sleeves and threw the man directly into the hot water.
Anyway, the acquired master couldn’t be burned. Su Li took it for granted that his cultivation was the lowest, which really irritated him.
Seeing the man who was still bubbling in the water, Qu Qingning smiled like a monster. He ran into the bath and whispered to the man evilly, “Son of bitch. I am afraid to confront her but I never fear to play a game with you. I may get a little bit tired but enjoy the trick.”
Various sounds were heard in the bathhouse.
Fang Mu stood beside and refused to look directly. He couldn’t imagine the face of Qu Qingning when the latter knew this person was a practitioner of the longevity realm.
After two hours, Qu Qingning put clothes on the murderous man whose eyes flashed with humiliation and who could not wait to suffocate Qu Qingning to death in the water right now.
Qu Qingning laughed loudly and felt comfortable after the task.
Seeing the man glaring, he pointed at the man’s nose and cursed, “What are you looking at? If you stare at me again, I will throw you into the water and continue the game.”
“What are you talking about, Qingning?”
It was Yin Xuetong. Qu Qingning was no longer complacent. He slowly looked back and saw Yin Xuetong was full of grievances and wailing, “I don’t expect you to be such a kind of a person. I will not speak to you.”
Qu Qingning became quite worried. He ignored the man beside him and quickly chased after the girl, “Xuetong, listen to me. It’s not the way you think.”
