The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1447 - 1459: Seeking Immortality (24)

After leaving those people, everyone in the Su Family’s carriage breathed a sigh of relief.

Only no one noticed Old Mrs. Su’s suddenly grim expression.

Earlier, she had been so impacted by the sudden change of events that she didn’t notice any peculiarities. It wasn’t until she calmed down that she perceived many irregularities.

Not to mention Tang Xianxian, she has always been useless.

As for Su Li, Old Mrs. Su considered herself quite familiar with this granddaughter.

They have always been very close, and given that the Tang Family had no backing, if she acquired the Tang family’s immortal fate, there was no way she wouldn’t share this with her.

Before, she hadn’t noticed, thinking it was good to let her and her mother cool off and realize how much better their previous days were.

But now, thinking back on each event, she trembled with fear; everything seemed to be executed step by step, as if pre-planned.

First, Tang Xianxian uncharacteristically sought out Xiu Yu, demanding documents.

She was unaware—Xianxian has always avoided Xiu Yu like a mouse would a cat; without someone egging her on, she wouldn’t have dared.

Then the two left hastily, stealthily, without a word, returning to the Tang Family Mansion.

Even if they took everything from the Cai Zhi Courtyard, it wouldn’t amount to much when converted to money.

After that, from Nangong Castle came news of the castle lord’s assassination, and in the Imperial City, the ancestral lines of the Four Great Families were schemed against and poisoned. The Tang family bought over a dozen good-looking children and adopted little beggars from the East City slum.... And soon after, the Tang Family Mansion mysteriously vanished before everyone’s eyes.

If not for a purpose, Old Mrs. Su would not for a moment believe it.

Tying all these together, Old Mrs. Su’s heart chilled, the more she thought, the more terrifying it became.

The suddenly emerged Tang family member must have long contacted Tang Xianxian and Su Li.

Only this could explain their inexplicable and bold actions....

If it were just Tang Xianxian and Su Li, she was confident she could control them, but adding a long-dormant Tang family member, Old Mrs. Su was panicked and deeply afraid.

Tang Xianxian and her granddaughter, two sickly children, were not to be feared—simple-minded, easily swayed to share their immortal fate with the Su Family with a few soft words.

But now... Old Mrs. Su could not be sure. She even had a premonition that the Su family was about to face great disaster.

Seeing Tang Xianxian and her granddaughter silently conspiring, Old Mrs. Su feared the worst: the two truly bearing a grudge against Xiu Yu and the Su Family.

Su XiuYu had indeed gone too far with them.

If only... she had limited her son, made him restrain himself a bit.

If she had been a bit more ruthless, directly dealing with Ye Zhiru, none of this would have happened.

She had gone this far, and just because she felt sorry for her son and relaxed a bit...

Now... regretting was too late.

Old Mrs. Su pondered all sorts of remedial measures heavily, but by the time she got off the carriage, her mind was still a tangled mess.

Moreover, more serious trouble awaited them than she had imagined.

The imposing guards who came from the Imperial City to fetch people heard all kinds of things about the Tang family’s immortal fate as soon as they arrived at Lin City.

They said they came to summon someone, but seeing their intimidating manner, everyone knew, this was more of an arrest and escort.

Only, they never thought, with their heads full of plans, they’d have nowhere to apply them.

Couldn’t even get a glimpse of a shadow, summon? Summon my foot.

Unwilling to give up, they inquired once again, but instead of going to the Tang Family Mansion, they turned a corner and headed directly to the Su Family.

--------

Outside, it was chaotic because of Su Li’s brilliant move, but it didn’t affect the peaceful times inside the residence.

Seeing Su Li’s exposed move, Uncle Deaf was flabbergasted.

Su Li had to explain to him: "This is an array, deduced from the ancient inheritance books."

Uncle Deaf stammered, "The Tang family’s so-called immortal fate... is, is it real?"

Su Li: "It is."

The Tang family’s ancient heritage book was indeed left by a cultivator, but the so-called immortal fate was unrelated; she wasn’t lying.

Upon hearing Su Li’s answer, for several days, Uncle Deaf sat dazed at the main entrance, silently watching the world outside.

The array merely concealed the Tang Family, making it impossible for outsiders to see; from inside looking out, nothing changed, and they could see clearly what was happening outside just by opening the door.

For Uncle Deaf, who suddenly turned into a hearing and speaking, well-looking man, Tang Xianxian accepted well, her attention captured by a basket full of adorable little children.

She seemed to have found the meaning of life, spending her days surrounded by these little ones.

Besides the twelve children bought from the Human Tooth Line, and the ten brought back from the beggars’ nest, there were a total of twenty-two, instantly bringing life to the once-cold Tang family mansion.

After being cleaned up, the neatly lined-up children stood before Su Li, their faces filled with admiration and excitement.

The oldest among them was ten, the youngest not yet five, having experienced many hardships early in life, they were more mature than those sheltered under their parents’ wings.

Having witnessed Su Li’s feats firsthand, they understood the fortunate opportunity before them.

From beginning to end, regardless of how they were arranged, each was quietly obedient.

Even the smallest boy, didn’t cry or fuss, doing whatever he was told.

Fairy Sister must have heard their prayers and came to help them.

And Fairy Sister’s mother, so gentle, just like their own mothers.

Even though Su Li already knew these children’s appearances were top-tier, when dressed adorably by Tang Xianxian in modified short jackets, gazing with their big eyes, Su Li’s hard heart softened into mush.

No matter what species, young ones are adorable, let alone such top-tier looking cubs.

Those with a Xuanyin Body surely wouldn’t look bad.

Finding so many children with special bodies in such a small town, Su Li still found unbelievable.

Even in ancient times teeming with Spiritual Energy, such special Spiritual Bodies weren’t common.

Su Li speculated that perhaps this place had some special quality to nurture so many Xuanyin Bodies.

Regardless of the reason, this physique was most suitable for cultivating Mist Xiang Dao.

Indeed, Su Li intended to pass on her teachings.

With the immortal traces in the Xilin Dynasty vanished, those top families had become frantic for a bit of immortal fate, driven by the pursuit of immortality and eternal life, willing to go to any lengths.

But Su Li wanted them, the more they desired, the less they could obtain.

Yet they would have to watch others achieve it.
