Chapter 282 A Bird Without Feet
Living for three days in Lord Rui’s Mansion, Su Li seemed to recover a little from a trance either under the meticulous care of Dongfang Rui or the company of Ling Li.
During these days, Ling Li didn’t stop investigating where Su Li had been that night. But nothing could be found.
Ling Li had no choice but stop the investigation temporarily. His second brother had gone to the battle. Half of his troops had been to the battlefield of Nanjiang Country. The rest troops in Yunjing City were not enough. So, Ling Li couldn’t get relaxed.
After living in Lord Rui’s Mansion for half a month, Su Li returned to the Ling Mansion with Ling Li.
In this half month, many people in Yunjing City died because their blood had been sucked out. No criminal had been caught by the Supreme Judiciary. The emperor lost his temper. He appointed Chen Gong, who worked in the Ministry of Penalty, investigate the case and arrest the criminal with the Supreme Judiciary. Ling Qinglan was quite busy with the case. Ling Li had no time for hanging out, because he was the only director of the war in Nanjiang Country.
As time went by quietly, Su Li thoroughly calm down, and she no longer felt upset for Jing Xin’s words.
She had read Yin Xuetong’s message and trusted the decision of Fang Yuan and others. After she left, Fang Yuan’s cultivation was enough to handle anything even without Wen Tingshan’s help.
Six months past, and it was early autumn. The rain was falling in Yunjing City and few people were outside, which making the city extremely quiet and peaceful.
The air with the rain and mist was cold. Su Li sat on the front porch of the study, watching the rain flowing down along the eaves. Her eyes blinked and she looked clever and clear.
During these days, she thought a lot, and remembered a lot. Even the memory for the outside world was gradually recovered because that she broken the bracelet.
At this moment, she didn’t mind that it was true or false. Jing Xin didn’t know much, but the tips she had given to her were enough.
Although the neverland was not real, but it could be used for reference. The Jiuzhou Region was probably like the Spiritual Circle, a place for all top sects to practice. While the Yuxu Sect was one of them, but the strength of this sect remained unknown.
However, a sect that had such a treasure like the Realm of Reincarnation must have a strong background.
The younger generation of the Jiuzhou Region all gathered in the Realm of Reincarnation. It was a virtual world, but the people in it were true and the relationships among people were naturally real!
The Life Ring was a treasure with life-saving effect.
She had confirmed the drawback of the ring. It was obvious that the ring could save the soul.
Except for the awareness in Mei Ruohan’s head, everyone who had entered the Realm of Reincarnation should lose their memory. They seemed to enter into the Realm of Reincarnation with their newborn souls that needed protection. And those so-called sects in the Jiuzhou Region would watch for her, the true master of the Reincarnation Mirror. So… she can’t kill anyone in the neverland unless they broke their life rings.
Su Li thought and a shining light flashed in her eyes, as if it cut the air in front of her.
It was possible that Ling Xian and even Zhu Yan did not die, and they just returned to the outside world.
At the same time, Su Li recalled Mei Ruohan again. Her eyes showed complicated feelings for a moment, and soon turned cold.
Mei Ruohan who had no memory of her previous life in the Reincarnation Mirror, did not hurt her. But the awareness in her mind almost destroyed Su Li and must be erased.
Even if she didn’t take action, Jing Xin might not let her go. Maybe that awareness had been erased. Whether Jing Xin was still fighting with the spirits of the nothingness, she couldn’t know and even couldn’t find her.
“Did all younger generation enter here…”
Su Li murmured. She didn’t know how old the younger generation is in that world. Jing Xin said that she had followed her for 900 years and her true age was at least 900 years old. These “young souls” came into the Reincarnation Mirror were powerful enough to transform to be people at any ages.
“According to Jing Xin, no wonder that Su Zipei, who had taken my fortune and luck, became the queen in the previous life. The whole world is around her. The more I killed, the much more misfortune I would get. And then I died in misery in the end.”
“With the help of Jing Xin in this life, and as the master of the Reincarnation Mirror, I gathered fortune and luck naturally and successful without too much obstacles along the way.”
Su Li found the answers one by one and her thought became clearer… Suddenly, she thought of a problem which suffocated her.
Ling Li… if he was also transformed by someone outside, would he still remember her when he went out?
Would he still remember that once he had a wife in the virtual world?
Or, all things were illusory. When she vanished, everything between Ling Li and her would… die out, totally?
Thinking of this, Su Li turned pale. She felt extremely uncomfortable with the blood spraying out of her throat and then she had a blackout and fell down.
Ling Li heard the sound and saw the scene outside room with his psychic awareness. His face suddenly changed and his mind went blank. He had no time to think other things. He just rushed to the door, picked up Su Li and rushed into the room. The door closed suddenly!
Tang Lei, who had just walked to the gate of the yard, saw the last scene. He was totally surprised. He couldn’t help rubbing his eyes and saw the closed study. He murmured,
“Is it the side effect on eyes of losing weight? Did I just see Brother Li standing up?”
With a hint of doubt, Tang Lei approached and was about to open the door of the study. Ling Mo suddenly appeared like a ghost and scared Tang Lei to death.
“Master said that no one can be near the study now. Master Tang, you come at the wrong time, please go.”
Hearing Ling Mo’s cold words, Tang Lei didn’t lose his temper. He was used to the attitude of Brother Li’s servant, but…
“Why does Brother Li have to stay in the study during the daytime?”
Tang Lei looked weird and suddenly a very ridiculous thought arose in his mind. His dark face blushed. He knew that the thought was ridiculous, but it was possible to happen to Brother Li.
“Who did Brother Li hold and go into the study? Did you just see, Ling Mo?”
Tang Lei suddenly asked. Ling Mo was serious and said in the same tone, “No, the study door has been closed since the morning.”
“Sure, I was wrong…”
Tang Lei murmured and thought that he didn’t see Su Li in the wing-room. He suddenly sniggered with a lewd voice, “It has been almost four hours since this morning. I never expected that Brother Li’s ability is the same as mine!”
Ling Mo’s face darkened. Tang Lei was really bold. If his words were heard by Mistress, the result…
Thinking of Mistress, Ling Mo looked a bit worried. He glanced at the study and finally dragged Tang Lei who wanted to peep away. Now the two in the house couldn’t be interrupted.
At this moment, Ling Li was healing Su Li’s wounds with his genuine energy on a big soft bed in the inner room.
The soft bed in this room was originally used for Ling Li’s rest. After they got married, the bed was immediately replaced by Qiu Meng with a double one.
After a while, Su Li woke up and felt the constant warmth of genuine energy coming from her back. Her body stiffened and then she felt frightened.
Fortunately, in order to slow down the consumption of the operation of cultivation in her body, she sealed the 99% of the cultivation. Otherwise, with her genuine energy of longevity realm in her body, once Ling Li transformed his to her, Ling Li would be badly hurt in a moment.
In just half a year, Su Li had easily promoted to the longevity realm with her foundation. If she didn’t reduce the speed of practice to cut consumption, her promotion would be several times faster. While Ling Li’s cultivation was still at the peak of the inborn realm. And he was just one step to the longevity realm. But no one knew when he could step over.
Perceived that Su Li was awake, Ling Li was relieved, but he didn’t dare to relax. He asked with concern, “How do you feel, Li? Why…”
Ling Li stopped because he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He frowned for a moment and couldn’t help laughing bitterly because he called her “Li” again.
In order not to annoy Su Li, he hadn’t called Su Li like this for more than half a year.
Su Li was shocked and remembered the thoughts before she passed out. She was silent for a moment. She got up, and walked to leave. Suddenly she saw that the wheelchair was still in front of the desk.
She stopped.
At the same time, the disappointment on Ling Li’s face turned into a shock, because he saw Su Li suddenly turning around and smiling at him.
“There is nothing wrong with my body, so, don’t be so impulsive in the future. The Ling Family couldn’t compete with the royal family.”
Su Li’s tone was so light that there was no emotion in it.
But Ling Li felt the long-lost warmth and it seemed that the ice in his mind for more than half a year finally showed signs to melt.
Li… was finally willing to let the enmity go?
Or did he think too much?
He became upset again.
Footsteps rang out, and Ling Li suddenly woke up and looked up. He only saw that there was no trace of Su Li at the door, and he could not help smiling bitterly.
It was not easy to give up the hate for the truth that his follower killed her aunt, but now he had a hope at least.
“Why did Li vomit blood for no reason? When I healed her, there seemed no problem in her body, and her blackout was just because of emotions. But now everything was okay and what could irritate her to vomit blood?”
Thought for a moment, Ling Li then had a lot of doubts. But it was the same as before, and he couldn’t get the answer. So, he could only put everything in his heart and wait for Su Li to change her mind.
After clearing his thought, Ling Li shook his head slightly, got up and went to the outside room of the study. And his eyes immediately fixed on the tea cup with hot tea on the table.
Now, Qiu Meng would not come to the East Courtyard suddenly. This cup of tea was…
Ling Li squinted and his lips curled up. He looked around, but didn’t see the beautiful figure who always liked to watch the rain under the eaves.
