Lady Su's Revenge

Chapter 120 Secret Site Selection

The old village head’s hands were slightly trembling. These young boys looked only over twenty years old. Could they grab things from bandits?! Didn’t it mean that these servants of Su Li were even more horrible than bandits?

When he remembered that his son was still wondering how he could get a lot of money from Su Li, the old village head’s scalp could not help but tingle.

“Old village head?”

The old village head was shocked. When he looked up and saw Su Li’s gentle smile, he immediately waked up and continued finding suitable places for Su Li.

After two hours, the old village head wiped his dry eyes and drew the last place which made him feel uneasy after hesitating. He couldn’t help but remind her,

“I remembered that I had been to this place more than 40 years ago. After I went in, I couldn’t distinguish directions. I couldn’t find a way to go out and almost starved to death. I didn’t know how did I get out there finally. But thank god, I came out alive. I am also frightened when I just think of it. Ms. Su, if it is not necessary, you’d better give up the last place.”

Su Li’s eyes were lit, and she nodded and said with a smile, “Do not worry, old village head. I know what to do. The money is your remuneration. It is enough for you to buy a house and some servants near the town. You can spend your rest life in comfort.”

The old village head took the bag handed over by Su Li and felt it was light. He opened it and found that there were five bank notes rather than silver. The denomination of each bank note was one hundred taels.

Five hundred taels!

Su Li gave him five hundred taels just because he sat here and drew a few places! He earned only one hundred taels silver in his whole life...

Su Li didn’t talk to the old village head who sat at the table for a long time, and she just asked Mammy Li and Xiaowu to stay there. She made some preparations with Fang Yuan and other three persons. Then they went out immediately.

“Mammy Li, how long will Ms. Su and others be out?”

Xiaowu looked at the five people walking away and couldn’t help but ask. He didn’t know what Su Li was doing, and he did not dare to ask. As a servant, he knew what he shouldn’t do.

“I don’t know, either.” Mammy Li shook her head and smiled, “You’d better help your grandfather buy a house and prepare it for him rather than think about them. Otherwise, when your uncle and aunt come back, the money given by the Miss may not be left to your grandfather.”

“I’m going to have a look right away!”

Xiaowu realized immediately and came into the room.

...

After leaving the Dawang Village, Fang Yuan and others all removed their disguises. It was not comfortable to cover something on face.

“Where are we going first?”

Fang Yuan handed the maps to Su Li, and her eyes brightened. She directly pulled out the last map and said, “Here! If there is a suitable place along the road, we may as well have a look.”

Fang Yuan said sure enough in his heart. When he saw Su Li’s expression changing, he knew that she was very interested in the last dangerous place pointed by the old village head.

Giddyap! Giddyap! Giddyap!

Five horses ran amazingly fast, and the dust was blown off by them.

Yin Xuetong stared at the slim figure on the foremost horse and said, “If the secret base was built up, the Linli Building would have a place to cultivate forces and talents. Su Li, do you really want to establish a force which is comparable with the royal family of the Nanjiang Country and against them? If you do, isn’t it too long for you to prepare...”

Yin Xuetong was a high-ranking person in charge of the force of her family once. She clearly knew that cultivating a force with profound power required not only financial resources but also time...

Yin Xuetong put all doubts in her heart and did not ask. Because she knew that she might not get the answer even if she asked.

Besides... there was no other way for them except Su Li’s way.

...

Two days after, Su Li and other four people finally came to the towering peak that the old village head said. Because the mountain road was too steep, they could only tie their horses to trees at the foot of the mountain and go up the mountain on foot. Fortunately, all the five people had cultivation, so their speed didn’t drop off even they went up on foot.

However, they didn’t know whether the position given by the old village head was wrong or not. They were finding it all night long and had searched the entire hill, but did not see any place that matched the description of the old village head.

“What a strange thing! Did the old man make a mistake?”

Qu Qingning was depressed to have a toothache. Walking around in the woods all night, he was almost in a daze.

“It would be better to change a place. After over 40 years, the terrain may change. It is possible that the place where the old village head said is no longer here.”

Yin Xuetong could not help but suggest. Fang Yuan looked at Su Li and saw she looking at the map in a daze. Qu Qingning was about to disturb her, but he was stopped by Fang Yuan with his hands waved.

Qu Qingning curled his lips. He sat back to Yin Xuetong’s side. They were whispering while waiting for Su Li’s decision. Fang Yuan crossed arms and leaned against a tree to have a rest. He looked from time to time at Su Li who was thinking for one moment and then drew on the ground.

Another day passed.

Qu Qingning and Yin Xuetong didn’t have strength to whisper. They found some hay in the woods and put it on the ground to sleep on it. Fang Mu also wanted to sleep on the hay, but he was dismissed by them. Therefore, he could only find a crossed branch of a tree and lay on it alone.

Fang Yuan also felt tired. However, Su Li still sat in the original place and drew a lot of incomprehensible patterns on the ground. They were like arithmetic but also like sacred incantations of some minority witch clans.

“What are you doing...”

Fang Yuan asked in his mind. Finally, he closed his eyes and leaned against branches to have a rest. He wasn’t in the inborn realm and was still weaker than Su Li.

After he fell asleep for a while, a familiar whisper came to his ears.

“I haven’t used it for a long time and I have forgotten so many things. It takes me one day and a night. If he knows, he definitely will abuse me again...”

Fang Yuan instantly opened his eyes and happened to see Su Li smiling comfortably and brightly. Her smile was like a brighter light in front of him and made his mind pleased unconsciously. However, he immediately perceived that her smile seemed to mingle with slight reminiscence and... emotions of missing someone?

Who was he?

Fang Yuan felt nervous and began to doubt if he had another enemy except Ling Li.

“Fang Yuan, wake them up. Let’s go!”

Su Li’s order made Fang Yuan come to his sense. He immediately pretended to act like nothing had happened and picked up the scabbard on the side. Then he went to Qu Qingning and poked his face hard.

Qu Qingning woke up in a daze. He opened his eyes and saw Fang Yuan without any expression like a coffin plank. He secretly said unlucky to himself and woke up Yin Xuetong who was in sound sleep.

As for Fang Mu... Fang Yuan directly cut off the branches behind him. With the sound of freely falling body, Fang Mu screamed and woke up completely.

“Tut-tut, you are indeed his brother.” Qu Qingning chortled and said, “Fortunately, both Xuetong and I slept on the ground. Otherwise, the feeling of falling down is unpleasant.”

Fang Mu looked at Fang Yuan with a grievance. However, he saw that his eldest brother was sullen and in bad mood, so, he did not dare to say anything.

Five people walked on their way again. Su Li didn’t stop walking, and her target was the hillside. They reached the destination, a stark rock platform, after only seven or eight minutes.

“Have we passed here several times?” Qu Qingning squatted down. His fingers touched the new grass under his feet, and then he looked at the stark cliff. He looked strange and said, “Nothing is here. Look at the terrain, it doesn’t seem that there is a valley.”

Su Li stood before the cliff as if she was calculating something. Then she took a deep breath and hewed the cliff with enough strength in her hands.

“Boom!”

They immediately heard an earsplitting roar.

Fang Yuan was thinking that Su Li would hew down a lot of rocks. However, he saw that Su Li was pushed out rapidly and dropped to the cliff in the blink of an eye!

“Su Li!”

Qu Qingning and others screamed instantly. The accident was unexpected. They couldn’t help her at all.

Fang Yuan’s pupils shrank. He rushed to the side of the cliff and was about to jump off without demur. However, after he blinked his eyes, Su Li had come up from the cliff. She gently held Fang Yuan’s hands and stopped him from jumping down, “I am fine to jump down, but you may not. Don’t do anything stupid.”

Feeling the softness on his fingertips, Fang Yuan’s face became red. After hearing her words, he paused breath for a few seconds and had a drastic mood swing.

He must break through the inborn hurdle at the fastest speed!

“Su Li, are you okay?”

Seeing Su Li coming up, Yin Xuetong could not help but ask her. Su Li shook her head slightly and continued reckoning toward the cliff.

Qu Qingning sighed with emotions, “That is the situation that one is in the inborn realm. The body after practice is as light as a feather, so she doesn’t bruise after falling off. If we fell down, we almost would die...”

“A real live Young Master.” Yin Xuetong looked at Su Li’s back, and her eyes were shinning with worship.

Boom!

Su Li hewed the cliff again. The roar made them have headaches. Su Li was pushed out far away again. But she grasped the strength this time, so she did not fall off the cliff.

Fang Yuan no longer looked at Su Li. He sat down crossing his legs and took out the Ao Sword Skills to read. The other three persons did not have Fang Yuan’s tenacity to study the swordsmanship book in continuous roars. Therefore, they could only practice the martial arts in different places a little farther away and guarded the place.

Although there were very few people of the martial arts circle in the Dahan Country, everything should be very careful.

Su Li hewed the cliff constantly for the entire half day. Fang Yuan gradually discovered the law on the side. Su Li adjusted the angle and strength every time. She seemed to look for something. Besides, as Su Li adjusted herself constantly every time, the power coming back from the cliff became smaller and smaller...

Moonlight floated down through dense leaves. Su Li looked tired, but she was very excited inside. She had confirmed what the place was and had found the weakest point just now.

Without hesitation, she put her right palm on the cliff with strength focused on her palm. Then the cliff did not make an earsplitting roar finally. Instead, it made a sound of “boom” and was broken like a thin piece of paper.

At this moment, the scene in front of them shook many times like water wave. Then it became completely different in front of them. Fang Yuan looked shocked rarely and slowly stood up. He looked at the new scenery appearing suddenly and didn’t know what to say.

Tactical matrix...

What couldn’t Su Li do?
