Lady Su’s Revenge
chapter-178

Qiu Meng transmitted the sound in silence. Hearing that, Mrs. Gu heaved a sigh of relief. She thanked Su Li again and said helplessly, “Meng was injured over ten years ago. At that time, Li was also injured. To secure Ling Li’s safety, I had to have the cheek to ask for Miss Su Li. Can you diagnose my grandson, Ling Li?”

For a long while, Su Li remained speechless. She understood Mrs. Gu’s concern and had to nod.

Su Li had diagnosed Ling Li’s ailment before, and she helped him practice to have the physique impervious to hundreds of poisons. Now, Ling Li was extremely healthy.

Su Li returned to her seat and looked at Ling Li. But Ling Li seemed to be absent-minded and didn’t hear Mrs. Gu’s words.

Ling Li was really lost in thought. He recalled the night 12 years ago. He was five years old then. When he was born, he already reached the acquired seventh hurdle. He was too young and wasn’t strong enough, so, he didn’t dare to practice too fast. Otherwise, his cultivation must be beyond that.

Although he hid his astounding cultivation at that time, the intelligence he showed was also eye-catching. The Eldest Brother and the Second Brother were both excellent. Ling Li’s humble father who was still alive then couldn’t help boasting to his colleagues.

Perhaps it was the excellence of the third son and the prosperous momentum of the Ling House that affected some people’s interests.

An assassin came to the Ling House.

All the men went out to battle for the country and the defensive force of the Ling House was the weakest that day. An assassin of the inborn realm invaded the Ling House silently and intended to kill Ling Li. But Ling Li dodged him with his cultivation and the assassin only chopped his legs.

If he was really a child who had no cultivation, that kind of force would let him lose his legs!

Ling Li screamed deliberately, which made the assassin failed. Hearing his screaming, Qiu Meng rushed into the room immediately. The assassin stabbed towards Qiu Meng’s heart with a sword. Ling Li grabbed the sword hastily and tried his best to offset the force of the sword, so, Qiu Meng’s heart pulse wasn’t hurt.

Ling Li was a little sad. Now, he still remembered the assassin’s surprised and sarcastic expression.

He thought for ten years that it was him who saved his mother. He never realized that the assassin used another way that he couldn’t perceive to kill his mother. If Su Li didn’t want to diagnose Qiu Meng, Ling Li didn’t dare to imagine what would happen.

“Li!”

Mrs. Gu called loudly, which interrupted Ling Li’s thought. Then Ling Li who was full of hatred realized where he was. But he already showed the cultivation of a warrior of the inborn realm unconsciously just now.

“I have offset the cultivation you showed just now. You owe me another one, Hierarch Ling.”

Su Li teased and transmitted the sound in silence. Hearing that, Ling Li was relieved, but he smiled helplessly at the same time.

He owed Su Li more.

Although Ling Li showed the hatred, there wasn’t the aura of aggressive without the extra cultivation. It didn’t seem to live up to Su Li’s image of a playboy. But it was normal considering the affection between family members.

Qiu Meng saw Ling Li’s expression and her eyes were full of tears. She thought that Ling Li was still kind and he still remembered what happened that year.

Qiu Meng never forgot that her life was saved by her little third son at that time. Otherwise, she would die that year.

Although Ling Li’s legs bled and he knew that it would be extremely painful to grab the sword with hands, he screamed to grab the sword and protect Qiu Meng.

Ling Li who was only five years old knew that he should protect his mother and defend his beloved one!

How could such a kind son be a playboy?!

Qiu Meng didn’t understand. She and her mother thought that Ling Li was still kind in heart. He abandoned himself just because of his disabled legs.

Therefore, the Ling House that ruled the family with a ferocity shut their eyes to Ling Li!

Otherwise, Ling Li would be tortured to death according to the rules of the Ling House at that time.

“Grandma, what did you say? My mind was wandering just now.”

Ling Li pretended to be a playboy again. Mrs. Gu who thought that he would pull himself together was quite angry. She walloped Ling Li with the pillow and really wanted to rush to hit him.

“You stupid boy! You are 17 years old. When can you change your image of a playboy? Don’t you want to marry an excellent girl from a respectable family?!”

Ling Li caught the pillow firmly, but he pretended to be hit and screamed. Qiu Meng laughed. Ling Qinglan struggled to restrain himself.

After a while, Mrs. Gu took a breath and said, “Well, if I really made a fuss with you, I would die a long time ago. Miss Su, don’t mind. Please diagnose him.”

Mrs. Gu was really worried. After all, Qiu Meng and Ling Li were hurt that year and Ling Li’s injury was severer than Qiu Meng. She was afraid that Ling Li was also hurt secretly.

Mrs. Gu battled for the country all her life. Her husband and grandson died in the battlefield, but she never regretted because they died for the country! If Qiu Meng and Ling Li died of the machination of a villain, she couldn’t bear that!

“Ah.” Su Li replied gently and put her hand on Ling Li’s pulse. Ling Li also calmed down.

Pit-a-pat!

Pit-a-pat!

It seemed that Ling Li’s pulse condition was unstable. It was because he was disabled! Actually, his pulse condition was stable and strong like the blazing sun which was full of vitality and energy!

Su Li curled her lips. Looking at Ling Li who smiled viciously to her, Su Li was a little annoyed. He… even didn’t guard against her. Neither his heart pulse nor his pineal was protected by genuine energy. How could he have this courage!

If Su Li wanted to kill him, she could do it now!

“Hierarch Ling is really careless…

Su Li transmitted the sound in silence with a little anger. Ling Li’s smile was weirder. He replied, “A sound in my heart tells me that even if people all over the world betrayed me, you wouldn’t. I seem to be very familiar with you. Su Li, do you know why?”

Su Li drew her hand slowly back and transmitted the sound in silence coldly, “Childe Ling is really the first playboy in the Yunjing City. Tell those sweet words to other girls, not me…”

“…You!”

Ling Li didn’t know what to say. He was about to retort, but Su Li smiled and said to Mrs. Gu, “Mrs. Gu, Third Chile Ling is healthy except the disabled legs.”

“Ho-ho… Good! Thank you, Miss Su.”

After Su Li cured the hidden injuries of Qiu Meng, Mrs. Gu trusted Su Li with her medical skills firmly and she was relieved immediately. But she didn’t ask Su Li whether she could cure Ling Li’s legs.

At that time, Qi Xianqing said that Ling Li’s legs were incurable, so, Mrs. Gu was disillusioned.

However, Su Li knew that even if Ling Li was really disabled and his legs couldn’t be cured in martial arts circle, there were many elixirs in the Real Spiritual Circle. Those elixirs could give ordinary people a second life, so, curing disabled legs was nothing difficult.

However, that kind of elixir was also precious in the Real Spiritual Circle. It was extremely difficult for people in secular world to get it.

Then Mrs. Gu asked Su Li to feel pulse for Ling Qinglan, but Ling Qinglan refused and said that he was very healthy. Mrs. Gu and Qiu Meng believed him and said nothing.

Ling Li felt strange and thought, “What does he do recently? He is quite mysterious. Feeling pulse in advance by Su Li is good for his health. How could he refuse?”

Su Li returned to her seat and said nothing. But she learnt something about Ling Qinglan’s poisoning.

Ling Qinglan used a large volume of ice toxin, but he behaved like a normal person. Did he eat that kind of elixir…?

Su Li glanced at Ling Li who pretended to be asleep. People around Ling Li were really not afraid of death, such as Ling Mo and Ling Qinglan.

Su Li was about to tell Ling Qinglan’s situation to Ling Li, but the carriage stopped suddenly.

Creak!

The curtain was uncovered. The servant of the Ling House said respectfully and enthusiastically, “Old Lady, here is the hunting ground.”

Sough…

A gust of wind came. Su Li looked around and saw the vast ground full of grass and trees. She could see the shadows of wild beasts in the forest from time to time with her eyesight.

People were prohibited from hunting in the hunting ground for the whole year. Lots of fatty beasts were waiting for young men in the Yunjing City to hunt!

The carriage of the Ling House was stopped in a position that was prepared for wealthy and prosperous families, so, there were few people there.

Su Li got off and saw “King of North” rather than Ling Ping on the carriage shed. Ling Ping was a general who mastered important military power. But his name wasn’t as deterrent as his father’s despite the fact that his father was dead.

Ordinary young talents entered the hunting ground from the west. Su Li and others were in the east. There was a river between the west and the east. The river wasn’t deep but nobody dared to stride over it because the Royal Guards were guarding there.

“Look! They are members of the Ling House!”

“Ah…great! I see Mrs. Gu!”

“Really! They are members of the Ling Family of the King of North.

“…”

Some people saw them and were in chaos immediately. Most people saw Mrs. Gu for the first time and were extremely excited. Mrs. Gu was old, but her prestige was known by men and women, old and young in the Dahan Country.

Mrs. Gu heard the noises. She turned around and waved to people happily. Then people in the west of the river screamed again. They shouted loudly that even people in the hunting ground could hear them.

“What happened? The hunting ground is several miles away from here, but why can we hear them?”

“Dude, you must attend the Autumn Hunting Contest for the first time, right?”

“Hey? How do you know…”

A relatively flat place was surrounded by the Royal Guards. There was a high platform in the central area and the seat on it was empty. It was the emperor’s seat. Other seats extended to both sides. Seats were arranged according to the official rank of the Dahan Country.

According to the official rank, Ling Ping only ranked the third-grade in the martial arts circle. However, the emperor didn’t really let members of the Ling Family sat on the third-grade seats based on their contributions. Their seats were arranged beside the Prime Minister Tang’s seats every year to prove that the emperor never forgot their contributions to the country.

The seats of the Ling Family didn’t change this year. It was spacious enough to accommodate about ten people. Compared with other families’ crowded seats, it could be seen that the emperor really valued them.

Su Li followed members of the Ling Family towards the seats. Some people talked about her and thought when the Ling Family gave birth to such a good-looking daughter.

Some people recognized Su Li and was quite surprised, but they didn’t dare to say too much.

Most people here were in important status. Su Li was just an ordinary girl who was born in an unknown family. Although Qi Xianqing was her patron, she was just an unimportant girl on this occasion.

After a short time, a large number of young men came to the hunting ground. The hunting ground was a sea of people. Su Li who sat on the Ling Family’s seat seldom saw such a grand scene.

Su Li ranked as a junior in the clan, so, she sat at the far side with Fatty Tang. Fatty Tang sat at the far left to avoid being seen by the spy of the Tang Family. Then he introduced the seats to Su Li. Tang Lei was so familiar with those unknown families. It’s not easy.

Su Li didn’t know whether it was a coincidence or not. The opposite of the Ling Family was the seats of General Wu’s Mansion.

Wu Xiuxiu was the apple of the Wu Family and she sat almost in the middle part with Wu Jin. She was at a tender age but had a beautiful figure. She had a lot of make-up on her delicate face. But she showed an angry expression, which made her not so attractive any more.

Because she saw Su Li who sat on the seat of the Ling Family at the first sight.

She hated Su Li very much.
