Chapter 485 Jiuli Region
“Uncle Lan?”
Su Dieyin got up to greet Ling Qinglan and evacuated the servants who were standing aside. Since that day she used Ao Sword Skills to kill Jin Zhentian, she had keenly sensed that Uncle Lan’s emotions were not quite right. So, she was not surprised that Ling Qinglan came to find her alone.
Seeing Su Dieyin evacuating the servants, Ling Qinglan looked a little relaxed. He walked into the courtyard and waved a Sound-proof Matrix.
“It seems that you have already known what I’m here for.”Su Dieyin nodded slightly, and tried to ask, “Is it related to my Ao Sword Skills?”
“Where did you get this practice method?”
Ling Qinglan frowned and nodded. He asked that with a solemn tone.
“It is the inheritance that my father left to me when I was young. But I was too young at the time and I only remembered the general skills. Until I was adopted by my mother and started practicing, I was able to unlock the inheritance seal and knew what happened to my father back then.”
As Su Dieyin recounted, gratitude appeared on her beautiful face, “Su Family would definitely not avenge for me. If it weren’t because of Su Jiuzhou, I would never avenge my parents’ murder.”
After hearing that, Ling Qinglan suddenly became a little confused. Ao Sword Skills must be Su Li’s, but it didn’t seem that Su Dieyin was lying according to her expression.
When did Ao Sword Skills belong to Jin Cheng’ao, Su Dieyin’s father?Was it possible that Jin Cheng’ao was Su Li’s heir and Su Jiuzhou…was fake?!
Ling Qinglan’s eyes shrank. He thought of the various contacts he had with Su Jiuzhou before. Su Jiuzhou was too familiar with Su Li, and she definitely had an unusual relationship with Su Li.
Which one was real?
Ling Qinglan was completely puzzled. If he went to ask Su Jiuzhou, he would inevitably be suspicious that he was interrogating her. Although what she did was to take revenge for Su Li, it also seemed that she wanted to unify Jiuzhou Region for her own selfish interests!
“Su Jiuzhou, are you an enemy or a friend…”
Ling Qinglan sighed. He restrained the complex emotions in his eyes and left sadly in Su Dieyin’s puzzled gaze.
Jiuli Region was controlled by the holy sect Tianyin Tribe. Practitioners in this region were mostly good at spells and poisons. The practice methods that they practiced were mostly uncanny methods. Even if the region was controlled by a holy sect, the evil practitioners were also rampant. It was not as peaceful as Jiuzhou Region.
Therefore, just a few days after Su Li arrived, she witnessed several cases that practitioners were killed by spells and robbed of treasures. Their deaths were extremely miserable.
Because Su Li was alone and a female practitioner, she was bothered by some other practitioners. But the cultivations of these practitioners who survived by robbery were not very good. After Su Li accidentally exploded several evil practitioners’ heads, no one looked for trouble anymore.
Guiding by the map, Su Li came to a cultivation city called “Baishi”. As soon as she entered the city, she saw that all vendors on both sides of the street sold jade materials and shouted constantly.
Su Li strolled around and saw that there were many stalls selling Mushui spiritual jades. Although their purity was extremely low, this scene was absolutely impossible seen in other cultivation cities.
“This girl, are you curious that the quality of jades in Baishi City has skyrocketed recently?”
When a kind-faced stall owner saw Su Li’s slightly immature face show surprise, he couldn’t help but smile and said, “It’s true that the spirit mine not far outside Baishi City has already been dug up. But when the bottom was reached, many rare jade materials were found in the spirit mine. This is why Baishi City is prosperous now.”
Su Li’s eyebrows were curved. Her thickly curled eyelashes trembled, and a simple smile appeared on her face. Anyone who looked at her would think her as an unsophisticated female disciple of a sect.
“Senior, why did you explain it to me? I can’t buy things from your stall.”
As she said, she pointed at the things on the stall with a look of disgust.
The stall owner’s look became stiff. He thought that this little girl was really forthright and didn’t save his face at all. But he had been at the bottom of the cultivation circle for hundreds of years, so he did not show what he thought on his face. He immediately smiled and replied calmly,
“Since your clothing and apparel are all extraordinary, you must be of extraordinary origin. I explained it to you, because I just want to do something good for you. You don’t need to mind that.”
“That’s it.”
Su Li showed a suddenly enlightened expression, and then immediately snorted. She held her arms across her chest and said, “My parents asked me to come out for a lot of experience and to buy some high-purity Mushui spiritual jades by the way. But I think the purity of Mushui spiritual jades on those stalls are low. It seems that I can only return empty-handed.”
Hearing that, the stall owner was stunned and then overjoyed immediately.
He was about to continue to sound her out, but never thought that this girl was unsuspecting and said her intentions directly to him.
Then it was easy to do!
He rubbed his hands and said with a smile, “Little fellow practitioner, although I have poor cultivation skills, I have been running the jade business for hundreds of years. I also have a way to get Mushui spiritual jades! But can you tell me if your parents are nearby?”
Su Li’s eyes suddenly brightened. She happily asked, “Really?”
“Of course.”
The stall owner nodded repeatedly, “Since I know that you are from a famous family, how dare I deceive you?”
“It is great!”
Su Li showed an arrogant look, “My master is busy with business and he will come to this city in two days. I can do this small matter like buying spiritual jades alone. You take me to buy spiritual jades first and you will definitely benefit a lot from this.”
With that, she wiped the universe ring with her fingertips and threw him a celestial stone.
The stall owner was surprised and delighted instantly. He immediately put the celestial stone into his universe ring, for fear that others would see it.
“Thank you for your generosity, little fellow practitioner. Please follow me!”
After saying that, he put away the stall and walked across the street market to the depths of an alley.
Su Li narrowed her eyes imperceptibly. And then she immediately returned to her innocent appearance and followed him lively.
Sensing the steps behind him, the stall owner showed a smile on his kind face, but it was a little gloomier than the smile just now.
As they went deeper, the alley became narrower and darker. About ten minutes later, the stall owner walked to the end of the alley. He suddenly turned around and looked at Su Li maliciously.
Su Li still smiled and looked around.
“We arrived so quickly? Why didn’t I see the entrance?”
“Hahaha…”
Hearing such stupid questions, the stall owner couldn’t help laughing out loud. His expression was no longer kind, but full of ruthlessness, “Little girl, don’t blame me for destroying you! You should blame your master for not teaching you to guard against strangers!”
After speaking, he quickly stretched out to grab Su Li’s head with five fingers changing into a talon!
The little girl in Jindan Realm was easily to be killed by him whose cultivation was in the early stage of Yuanying Realm.
Su Li was about to stop him casually, and asked where was the Mushui spiritual jades forcibly. Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped her movement. She showed a panic on her harmless face.
Seeing this, the stall owner had no sympathy at all. Instead, his speed was faster!
At this moment, a cold shout suddenly sounded behind Su Li. At the same time, a white streamer flew quickly and rightly blocked the sharp talon of the stall owner.
After the streamer light dissipated, its original appearance showed. It was an ancient mirror, a protective treasure.
Because his plan was interrupted, the stall owner’s eyes became gloomy. He looked behind Su Li.
He saw a chubby and honest young man approaching with a grin. The young man said in a mature tone, “Old guy, the rules of Baishi City are not decorations. Since I saw that, you can’t do bad things today!”
Speaking of this, the honest young man smiled and showed two small canine teeth. The stall owner suddenly changed his look drastically when he saw the young man’s face.
“How could it be this little ancestor!”
“Damn it. My big benefit!”
He struggled in his heart. He glanced at Su Li, who had a dazed look and was too simple to know what was going on. And then he glanced at the honest young man who was approaching.
“That’s all. Little girl, you have a good fortune!”
The stall owner snorted and flew away.
At the moment he was about to leave, a terrifying black light suddenly flashed in Su Li’s clear eyes.
The stall owner only felt his neck cold, so he didn’t care and left directly.
“Tsk-tsk!”
Black Lotus watched the stall owner leave, and muttered, “My master of course has a good fortune, but you won’t survive three days.”
After the honest young man saw the stall owner completely disappeared in his sight, the smile on his face immediately changed into fear. He patted his chest with fear, “Fortunately, I have some reputation. Run! If he comes back, I can’t defeat him.”
While saying that, the honest young man started to run. Su Li smiled thoughtfully, and followed him.
A moment later, in an inn for practitioners.
After drinking three bowls of tea in a row, the honest young man let out a long breath, as if he had all his fears let out. He put down the bowl and saw Su Li staring at him. Then he blushed and touched his cheeks, “Why are you looking at me? Even though I saved your life, you wouldn’t fall in love with me at first sight, right?”
Seeing he was easy to be shy, Su Li couldn’t help laughing.
The honest young man also seemed to feel that he was too rude. He scratched his head in a weird manner, and said in embarrassment, “Er… I have liked talking nonsense since I was a child. Don’t mind that.”
Su Li nodded and thought secretly.
This honest young man’s cultivation was not beyond the peak of Jindan Realm, which was far worse than the stall owner. But the stall owner would rather give up his benefits after seeing him. Obviously… the background of this young man was not simple.
Thinking of this, Su Li said with a smile, “My name is Su Jiuzhou. Thank you for your help just now. May I have your name?”
“Hahaha, my name is Xuan An!”
The honest young man stretched out his teacup and said, “I can’t stand the bad behaviors of those people, and I always want to take a hand in when I saw those. If I hadn’t had a good father and mother, I would have been killed many times.”
When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and said with a stern face, “Well! I forgot to ask you how you were deceived by that evil practitioner. This is fatal!”
Su Li sighed softly when she heard that. She said with a hint of aggrieved tone, “I don’t have much experience because I have gone down the mountain for the first time. I wanted to do something for my master, but I almost screwed it up. Alas…”
This sentence seemed to evoke Xuan An’s memory. He immediately waved his hand and comforted Su Li, “Hey! It’s nothing. The world is sinister and full of conspiracy and tricks. You are pure-minded and naturally easy to be fooled. Just be careful in the future and you will never make the same mistake again.”
Su Li nodded, “Thank you for enlightening me, Senior Fellow Apprentice. I feel much better now.”
Hearing Su Li calling him senior fellow apprentice, Xuan An was stunned for a moment, and then he almost laughed from ear to ear.
He was the youngest in the sect and had never been called senior fellow apprentice!
Seeing his reaction, Su Li couldn’t help but smile.
It was not necessary to go to Tianyake Attic to get the information about Jiuli Region.
