Lady Su’s Revenge-Chapter 575 - Just You?
Half a year later…
The battle of the Immortal Layers came to the end. The winners on the First Immortal Layer would come back. There was even more bustling in the Shengxian City, where a large number of practitioners gathered to see the top talents of Qingshui Circle.
In the Tianyake Attic.
Xiaosi told Xie Wei, “Head, our attic has been almost set on fire for twenty-three times, night-raided thirty-five times and stolen two hundred and forty-four times! Fortunately, we have made preparations, so they didn’t succeed!”
Xiaosi straightened his back and said proudly.
Xie Wei rubbed his eyebrowshelplessly.
During this time, the frequency was much higher than the previous.
“Waiter, check in!”
In the lobby raised a hoarse voice, and Xiaosi went out, “I’m sorry, Senior. We have no rooms…”
Xie Wei didn’t pay attention to the outside. He frowned and suddenly felt something wrong.
It was so quiet outside!
He got up, opened the door and walked out. He saw that Xiaosi was explaining with sweat. Obviously, he couldn’t handle that.
Opposite to him was standing a white-haired old man in a black baggy robe whose complexion was not good.
He stepped forward and laughed, “Senior, please forgive us if the Tianyake Atticand Xiaosi offended you unintentionally. What can I do for you?”
The white-haired old man turned his head and looked at Xie Wei with a pair of grey eyes.
“Areyou the head of Tianxing Valley here?”
Looking at the old man, he had an illusion that he was monitored by the old ancestor of the sects. He stopped breathing for a second and smiled reluctantly, “Senior, it seems that you have something to tell me. Please come into the inner hall for details!”
The white-haired old man snorted, “Ok!”
Xie Wei walked inside. He took a deep breath and transmitted the sound to Xiaosi.
“Get some Guchun tea!”
Hearing this, Xiaosi changed his complexion and felt nervous, “That is all spirits…”
“Hurry up!”
Although the inner hall was not large and its decoration was plain, it looked quite decent.
They sat down and Xiaosi served the tea. After observing the white-haired old man, Xie Wei finally inquired timidly, “Tianxing Valley is a very old name. We don’t use it since the Qingshui Calendar was adopted. Do you…”
The old man sipped the tea and recalled something.
“Although the name has changed, the tea for entertainment tastes same. It is really memorable.”
Hearing this, Xie Wei was shocked. His hands in the sleeves shivered and his expression changed.
Did he really live from the All Spirits Calendarto now?
How old was he?!
After drinking a cup of tea slowly, the white-haired old man put down the tea cup. He glanced at that shocked Xie Wei and snorted coldly, “Silly boy, do you think you can deceive me by your petty tricks? You are a disciple of Tianxing Valley and I don’t have such a bad temper now, or you won’t have an opportunity to talk with me!”
“Senior, please forgive me!”
Xie Wei sweated heavily and constantly made palm and fist salutes, “I didn’t mean to offend you.”
“Humph, it’s better to realize your mistakes.”
The white-haired old man knocked the tabletop with his knuckles, “Probably you may know my identity through the intelligence group of Tianxing Valley.”
At this momentXie Wei felt it was not so difficult to communicate with this strange old man. He eased his mind, smiled sincerely.
“There was a taboo place—the thatched cottage of Ghost Town—unexpectedly collapsed before the Tianjiao Battle one year ago. I have sent someone to investigate and then checked a lot of information…”
Speaking of this, Xie Wei stopped for a second and then asked carefully, “Are you…Ye Che, Senior Ye?”
The white-haired old man stroked his beard and guffawed, “The intelligenceof Tianxing Valley deserves its reputation.”
He clearly admitted it with that reply.
Xie Wei gave a gasp of surprise. The Ghost Clan 40,000 years ago could live now. What secrets were in that thatched cottage?
“I came here only for what happened in the past that caused the annihilation of Ghost Clan? Can you tell me about it?”
Xie Wei came straight to the point. He felt awkward.
“Senior, you also know the rules of Tianxing Valley …”
“I have no money.”
Ye Che interrupted him with a calm face, “Doesn’t Tianxing Valley accept information exchange? How about making a deal that you ask me three questions and then answer two of mine?”
It was the reply that Xie Wei wanted. He gave a smile.
“Deal!”
…
After a long time, Ye Che came out of Tianyake Attic. He looked up at Shengxian Mountain in a distance, and left the attic calmly.
In the house, lost in his thought, Xie Wei sat at the table. The tea was already cool.
“Head?”
Xiaosi asked cautiously. Xie Wei came to his sense and sighed softly, “I want Ye Che’s information to help me become for the Head of the whole Tianyake Attic. I didn’t expect that Su Jiuzhou was among the Ghost Clan!”
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Ghost Clan and Shengtian Shrine have been at daggers drawn for a long time! This time… there will be a bloody battle between them.”
Xiaosi scratched his head, “Don’t we need to remind Shengtian Shrine?”
Xie Wei gave him a quizzical look, “The intelligence was disclosed to the Ghost Clan via me. It will be stupid if I remind Shengtian Shrine of that now.”
“It seems to make sense.”
Xiaosi suddenly saw the light and then worried, “So we have to choose one side to support? Su Jiuzhou, that female practitioner… Can she make it?”
“She must make it!”
It seemed that Xie Wei overcame some psychological obstacle. He said with a determined tone, “When necessary, I will help her!”
Speaking of this, he looked up. Then he was teleported onto Mysterious Realm of Tianjiao.
“Show me your means.”
…
It was a full year after a few days. Many practitioners came to join the fun outside the Black Stone Square.
At the high noon, the calm vortex began to expand and spat out constantly glorious light with swish sound. The light turned into several figures.
“They are coming!”
“Here they are!”
“Only the top talents of the first Immortal Layer are eligible to exit here!”
“Are they the top talents? They are horrible. Just glancing at they will suffocate me!”
There was a hubbub of voices among the practitioners waiting outside. Some stared at the vortex as if they were waiting for somebody.
Finally, after the light was spat out, Su Li and the other three figures showed up on the square. This moment, the hustle and bustle were about to explode this place!
“The three dark horses!”
“So amazing! They are not well-known, but they are all among the top 100 of the Tianjiao List. I don’t know if they can continue to create a miracle in the battle of Shengxian Mountain.”
“Maybe the top 10 of the Tianjiao List will be defeated by them. In this year, Tianjiao List was determined by Tianxing Valley. They are more in name than in reality.”
Someone just finished the words and suddenly was too scared to continue.
Swish, swish, swish!
After the vortex spat out the last glorious light, there appeared thirty figures. When the light scattered, Lu Xuan and the others showed up one after another.
“They are the top 30 of the Tianjiao List!!”
“The most powerful practitioners of Qingshui Circle must be some of them!”
“It is lucky to see the great powerhouses in future. I have no regrets in my life!”
“The ten most glorious beams of light are the top 10 of the Tianjiao List!”
Su Li glanced over the crowd and slightly nodded to greet, and then her eyes fixed on the ten most glorious beams of lightin front.
The glorious light dispersed—
The familiar slender body in dark black robe finally appeared.
Both looked at each other with their cold eyes.
Their eyes were like a deep pool which had no riffles on its surface.
And no one could see the bottom.
It seemed that the time was frozen.
At this moment, she was so calm. The love and hatred were hidden deep in her heart like the good wine in the cellar.
Ling Li did not move his eyes and he felt strange.
He didn’t know why he did not avoid her eyes. Perhaps it was the feeling of familiarity that suddenly came from his soul; maybe, it was the black lotus mark beside her eye that amazed him.
“Did you kill my younger brother?”
A cold voice suddenly broke the quiet. Su Li turned her eyes to the man in black clothes who walked towards Ling Qinglan slowly.
Ling Qinglan looked at this acquaintance, “Zhao Qianyuan?”
Zhao Qianyuan wore a serious face. He could feel the indifference from Ling Qinglan’s words and then he said angrily, “I will not let you leave Shengxian Mountain alive!”
Hearing this, Ling Qinglan recalled that Zhao Qianyuan did not dare to say anything in front of him at that time. He couldn’t help but shake his head and smiled, “I hope you will not regret.”
“Ridiculous!”
Zhao Qianyuan snorted and he was reluctant to continue this quarrel. He flicked his sleeves and left.
“The people in the holy sects all knew what happened between the brothers. Zhao Qianyuan is so happy that you killed Zhao Qianlin.”
Yan Ziye ridiculed, “Especially after the Grand Elder of the Han Sect died, he is more eager to kill Zhao Qianlin. Now he talked tough with you just to save his face.”
“Let’s go.”
Su Li was about to leave.
Ling Li felt something weird and he wanted to ask about it. But he didn’t do that because of his identity at this moment.
“Fellow Practitioner Su, please wait a minute!”
Suddenly, there came Ling Xian’s hypocritical and affected voice.
Su Li stopped to give her a puzzled look, “What?”
Ling Xian walked to Su Li slowly with a friendly smile, “Sister, you look so young. You are famous after the battles of the Immortal Layers. Would you please be my friend?”
“Be your friend?”
Su Li beamed. Ling Li couldn’t tell what kind of smile it was, but he felt it wasn’t a joyful expression.
Seeing Su Li was happy, Ling Xian was about to continue to praise her, but saw—
Su Li’s delicate and warm face suddenly turned ice-cold.
“It’s such a pity that you are not qualified to be my friend.”
