Chapter 620 What Was the Relationship Between You and Her
Hearing this familiar voice, Xue Zhen was shocked. The first thing that she saw was the golden lightning mark between that person’s eyebrows. The mark made the feminine youth’s face even more enchanting.
“Senior Fellow Apprentice Chen? You…come back!”
Xue Zhen pretended to be calm, but she couldn’t help but retreat, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, this is the Mount of Holy Girl. If you don’t get the permission, you can’t come here.”
The lightning mark between the youth’s eyebrows flashed. He narrowed his eyes with a smile, “The Mount of Holy Girl? Junior Sister Apprentice, I’ve told you that you should wait for me to become the holy boy and you would be the steward of my Mount of Holy Boy. Do you forget about that?”
“Chen Qing, the First Elder asked me to come here… Don’t come near me!!”
Xue Zhen backed away in a panic until she hit the wall behind her back. She stopped and sternly reproached, “You are not qualified to be a holy boy! We are just fellow practitioners. Why should I wait for you?”
“Hahaha…”
Chen Qing laughed when he heard this, “Xue Zhen, you’ve never talked to me like this before.”
As he said, Chen Qing grabbed Xue Zhen’s neck. His face gradually approached hers. Dangerous light flashed through his cold eyes. “You are bold when you become Su Qingshui’s subordinate.”
Xue Zhen’s face reddened all over for she was almost choked to death. But she couldn’t prise Chen Qing’s fingers.
A new handyman who was cleaning the medicine field not far away couldn’t stand it anymore. He was about to drop his hoe, but was stopped by another handyman next to him. “Newcomer, do you want to be killed? How dare you want to stop Senior Fellow Apprentice Chen? He is a personal disciple of the Grand Elder, and he will not bear any responsibilities, if you are killed by him.”
The new handyman was stunned. He immediately retreated when he heard the words, but he still did not want to be resigned to stand by.
“Steward Xue Zhen is a rare good steward. We can’t do nothing…”
“Where is the holy girl?”
“She is practicing in isolation. If someone inform the holy girl, maybe Xue Zhen will be saved.”
When the new handyman heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened. Then he threw off his hoe and ran into the side hall.
“Ling San! Ling San! A disaster is imminent…”
Ling Li opened his eyes and frowned. He saw what was happening outside the hall, but Su Jiuzhou was practicing in isolation. If he interrupted her… But if he took action, his identity would be exposed, and it would be impossible for him to be Su Jiuzhou’s side and meet her condition.
“Ling San, you can’t fold your hands and see Xue Zhen die. Xue Zhen gave you the chance that you can be the attendant of the holy girl. If she hadn’t helped you, you would still have been a little handyman. People should be grateful to the one who helps them!”
The new handyman tried hard to persuade Ling Li who saw that Chen Qing was yanking Xue Zhen’s hair hard in his divine awareness. He finally sighed,
“Fine.”
Then Chen Qing suddenly stopped smiling and his action, standing still.
Xue Zhen easily broke free from his hands in doubt. She got up and backed up a few steps. Then she quickly backed away until she retreated to the door of the main hall.
Squeak—
The door of the main hall suddenly opened automatically. The robe with thunder pattern made Su Li seem slender and noble in the rising purple light.
Behind her, Ling Li silently followed, looking at her back. Light flashed through his eyes.
“Your Highness!”
Xue Zhen lowered her head and said apologetically in terror, “I’m sorry to interrupted your practice. It’s my fault…”
“You really interrupted me.”
Xue Zhen suddenly trembled, biting her lips tightly to prevent her grievance from showing. Su Li twitched her mouth and patted Xue Zhen on the shoulder lightly, “If Ling San hadn’t transmitted the sound to me, would you have followed this waste of space? Why didn’t you use the carrier rune I gave you?”
“Ah?”
Xue Zhen was stunned, “You are practicing. I…”
“When you encounter this kind of thing next time…”
Su Li walked to Chen Qing, who was unable to move. She suddenly changed her tone and smiled, “There would be no next time.”
Chen Qing was frightened, and he quickly transmitted the sound, “Su Qingshui, what are you doing?! I’m the personal disciple of Grand Elder Hua. I have practiced…”
Su Li turned around, waving her sleeve gently!
Chen Qing’s whole body trembled in an instant, and the sound of breaking could be heard from his body. Moreover, his pubic region was broken. Then he fell off the cliff with screams.
Xue Zhen watched this scene blankly, and tears were dripping down her cheeks unknowingly.
Only this time, they were not tears of grievance, but gratitude, joy, and relief.
Her Highness…
—
In the hall, Su Li leaned on the soft couch, propping her cheek with one hand and closing her eyes to rest. Ling Li sat quietly on the chair beside the soft couch.
Xue Zhen brought some pastries and spiritual fruits, putting them down on the tea table beside her. She couldn’t help taking a peek at Su Li’s side face, and then a trace of blush appeared on her face.
“Her Highness is really beautiful.”
Xue Zhen said in her heart, “It would be great if I could serve the holy girl forever.”
“Xue Zhen, you are talking nonsense.”
Xue Zhen lost in thought. Seeing Su Li wave her hand, she came to her senses and left in a panic, almost falling at the door.
When Xue Zhen disappeared at the door,
Ling Li frowned and couldn’t help asking, “Have you already ended your practice a long time ago?”
“So what?”
Su Li picked up a piece of cake and tasted it with a smile, “Do you want to blame me for not taking action earlier?”
Ling Li snorted coldly, without answering.
Su Li chuckled softly, “I just want to see if the Lord of Evil is really as cold-blooded as the rumors.”
“Grand Elder Su, I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
Ling Li’s words dripped with coldness. “But does my character have something to do with you, Grand Elder Su?”
“Naturally, it is related to me.”
“Really? About what?”
“Lord of Evil, you’ve not qualified to know that yet.”
Ling Li put on a long face, holding back the anger in his heart, and he fell silent.
For the sake of the Reincarnation Mirror, he had to tolerate it!
The hall was silent. After two hours, the pastries on the tea table were eaten by Su Li, but she was still sitting on the soft couch, without any other movements.
“What are you doing?”
Ling Li finally couldn’t help asking. Su Li glanced at him and said gently, “Wait.”
“Wait for…Grand Elder Hua?”
Ling Li was puzzled, “You know if you disable Chen Qing, Grand Elder Hua will come to get even with you for that. So, why do you still do that? Aren’t you afraid that he will affect your plan to sneak into Fenglei Holy Sect?”
“I just need a chance.”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She smiled like a demon, staring at Ling Li, “Chen Qing can be my good chance. Why don’t I use him?”
Ling Li didn’t understand the deep meaning of her words and mocked her coldly, “It turns out that Xue Zhen is just your pawn.”
“Yes, a pawn.”
Su Li remained her smile, but her eyes became cold, “But she indeed gets out of the abyss of misery, doesn’t she? You are also a pawn. Compared to you, she is much luckier.”
“Su Jiuzhou, shut up!”
Ling Li stared at Su Li with his red eyes.
Su Li’s words were like a knife, stabbing at his chest.
Since he was born, he had been a pawn of the Lord of Shengtian Shrine. Only he understood the pain for his mistakes and the chances he missed for the past two thousand years.
Su Jiuzhou couldn’t understand it at all!
Light of remorse flashed through Su Li’s eyes. But she made a cold snort on the surface. Then she turned her head and stopped talking.
“Uh, I come untimely.”
Perceiving a change of the atmosphere in the main hall, Xue Zhen said cautiously, “Your Highness, the First Elder wants to see you.”
“Oh? Finally, it comes!”
Light flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She got up and stepped down the soft couch. Ling Li looked at her back and took a deep breath. Finally, he got up and followed.
“Your Highness, I’m sorry. Because of me, you are in trouble.”
Xue Zhen bowed her head guiltily.
Su Li patted her on the shoulder, “Take good care of the mount. I will be back soon.”
Before Xue Zhen could respond, Su Li flied away.
Xue Zhen nodded blankly, looking at Ling Li who was flying behind Su Li. She muttered, “Isn’t Ling San a handyman disciple? Why does he follow the holy girl to see the First Elder?”
In the Elder House, the embattled Elder Zheng was wandering outside the door of the Elder Doctor.
“First Elder, are you looking for me?”
Su Li walked over calmly. Ling Li lowered his head and followed behind her.
“Finally, you turn up!”
Elder Zheng glanced at Ling Li quizzically, but he didn’t think much about him. He took Su Li into the study and asked in surprise and annoyance, “Chen Qing… The bones of his whole body are broken, and he loses his cultivation completely. You… You will be in a big trouble!”
“He broke into my mount without permission. According to the sect’s discipline, even if I kill him, I won’t be found guilty.”
Su Li looked straightforward and confident, making Elder Zheng feel angry but amused.
After all, the young people often did things regardless of the consequences.
“Well, do you know who the backer of Chen Qing is? It is Grand Elder Hua. There are only two Grand Elders in Fenglei Holy Sect. They are Grand Elder Hua and Grand Elder Nan respectively. This time the personal disciple of Grand Elder Hua was crippled by you. How could he not be angry? The reason why he hasn’t looked for you up to now is precisely because Chen Qing’s action is unjustifiable and Grand Elder Hua is stopped by Grand Elder Nan.”
It suddenly clicked. No wonder she waited so long but no one came over. It turned out that Grand Elder Hua was stopped by Grand Elder Nan.
Seeing that Su Li caught on, Elder Zheng couldn’t help but give a wry smile. He thought Su Li pretended to be obtuse.
“However, you don’t have to worry too much. Grand Elder Nan is always at odds with Grand Elder Hua. If it were not for the ancestral discipline, they would not be able to live together peacefully. Chen Qing has always been lawless, and even I couldn’t discipline him. Grand Elder Nan has hated him a long time ago. She must be happy since you disabled Chen Qing, and she will help you settle this matter.”
At this point, Elder Zheng frowned, “The matter of Divine Thunders is the only troublesome thing.”
Su Li was originally directed at the Divine Thunder, so she raised her brows slightly and asked, “Troublesome? Does Grand Elder Hua have the Divine Thunders?”
“Just one of the two.”
Elder Zheng smiled bitterly, “Fenglei Holy Sect has two Divine Thunders. Grand Elder Nan owns the Divine Thunder of Fire and Grand Elder Hua owns the Divine Thunder of Metal. Things are getting pretty hot…”
Su Li frowned and was about to speak, but suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the study. As the wind died away, Grand Elder Nan appeared, and she grabbed Su Li’s hand.
“Follow me to see the Divine Thunder!”
As she said, she took Su Li to jump into the void and disappeared. Elder Zheng was stunned.
“What…”
When Elder Zheng came to his senses and saw Ling Li, he couldn’t help but gossip, “You… What’s the relationship between you and Su Qingshui?”
Ling Li, “…”
