Lady Su's Revenge

Chapter 446 Get out!

“Mom, why are you here?”

Seeing the woman, Su Dieyin’s solemn expression eased down immediately. She squatted in front of the woman and said in a warm voice, “I can handle the things at home, Mom. Don’t worry about that.”

“Still hiding it from me?”

The woman shook her head and with her eyes widely opened, “Your Uncle Guang has told me. Is Su Jiuzhou that important? You have secured your position of the head of the branch with difficulty. If Su Dingxian...”

“I promised her and of course I must keep that.”

Su Dieyin was serious. She said gently, “Even if she had not come to the second branch, I will repay her favor, because she had saved Xianyun and the other two. I am not the cold-blooded old fox of the main branch.”

Hearing that, the woman became more helpless, “How dare you say this? You...”

“Rest assured, Mom. I can handle it.”

Su Dieyin held the woman’s hand gently and spoke in a soft tone, “Trust me.”

The woman’s gaze also softened, and her eyes seemed to be wet, “Of course I trust you.”

“Even if you made a wrong decision, I would be with you, Die’er.”

The latter sentence was spoken in the woman’s heart. Everyone tried to cheat the other in normal days, and only the study was suffused with a faint warmth now.

...

Su Li came to the main hall in the manor. She dismissed all the maids who were supposed to serve her, and sat alone on the bed with a pensive look in her eyes.

She had perfectly mixed herself into the second branch of the Su Family and gained the trust of Su Dieyin.

The first step went perfectly. But she had no plan about how to implement the second step yet, especially because that the matter in the Black Stone Forest was mixed up with this.

“Based on my current strength, I don’t know if I could defeat a practitioner of Huashen Realm. But I am sure that I can survive in a fight with them.”

Su Li checked her pubic region and saw a golden elixir with a strange glow slowly rotating on the eighteenth-grade black lotus.

In this realm of cultivation, the elixir could be divided into three levels, namely, one pattern, two patterns, and three patterns.

The more patterns were on the surface of an elixir, the higher potential to break through into Huashen Realm a practitioner one would have. The difference of the combat power between the three levels was immense. If a practitioner of Jindan Realm with one pattern fought against another practitioner of the same cultivation realm with three patterns, he or she would be defeated within a move.

Su Li stared at the golden elixir in her pubic region and a trace of distress flashed in her eyes.

She was not sure if it resulted in the various strangeness caused by the body of evil ghost. Her golden elixir could not be categorized in any of these three levels. The entire surface of the golden elixir was covered with dense black lotus patterns. Even the golden elixir almost became black. If she hadn’t looked closely, she wouldn’t have noticed the black lotus patterns.

The strangeness made it difficult to estimate her real power before she fought with a practitioner of Huashen Realm.

“The eighteenth-grade black lotus, the golden elixir covered by black Lotus pattern, the Black Lotus Ring, and a lotus-shaped mark on my face.”

Su Li moved her gaze away from her pubic region. Her low but serious murmur echoed in the small space around her, “It seems that the Ghost Clan really likes the black lotus.”

In the following two days, Su Li received the practice resources sent by Su Dieyin one after another. All of them were excellent and rare materials for re-cultivation and had a subtle healing effect on repairing the damaged foundation.

Su Li took a glance at them and put them aside.

After she completed the test of the Star Path, the breakthrough from Zhuji Realm to Jindan Realm would be achieved without any extra effort. The rewards she received from the Star Path were coalesced to the extreme and had helped her break through directly to the middle stage of Jindan Realm. To get to the peak stage of Jindan Realm, immense resources would be required. Even the resources in the Cang Lei’s Cave were insufficient, let alone the things sent by Su Dieyin.

“Geeze, could Su Dieyin have possibly recognized your identity? Why is she so nice to you?”

Black Lotus rambled while he was putting the resources away. These kinds of stuff were sent to be used up. If they were just kept in the universe ring, it would leave an evidence to others to accuse Su Li. So, Su Li had instructed Black Lotus to stow everything into the Black Lotus Ring no matter what Su Dieyin sent.

Just after Black Lotus put everything away, a sound of messy footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall, mixed with the panicked voice of her maid.

“Lady, something bad happened. There are some people coming to make a trouble.”

Seeing the maid who stumbled and ran in from the door, Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly. She remembered this maid’s name.

“Ya’er, what’s wrong?”

Hearing Su Li called her name, Ya’er constrained her inner disgust, and said in fear, “It’s Lord Su He who suddenly broke into the manor just now. Please hide quickly, Lady! She is coming to the main hall.”

Su Li did not move at the words. She just stared at Ya’er, which made Ya’er extremely nervous.

Ya’er had originally expected that Su Li, who had lost her cultivation, would change her look, no matter how calm she would be. But she didn’t expect this woman... had no reaction.

“I would like to escape...”

Su Li sighed in a low voice. Ya’er seemed to have sensed it. She looked back and found that a woman in red with a cold expression appeared at the hall door, whose icy cold eyes were fixed on Su Li as if her gaze alone could freeze Su Li into an ice sculpture.

Ya’er suddenly realized that Su Li was resigned to her fate.

“Who are you?”

Su Li asked calmly, but there was a hint of fear in her eyes that couldn’t be hidden.

Su He sensed that. She curled up her mouth into a sneer and did not hide the killing intent in her eyes. Her chilly voice echoed in the hall, “You are Su Jiuzhou? You have an adorable appearance, which makes you easily seduce men. You are just a coquette who has taken over the courtyard of Brother Songyue. Su Dieyin is getting more and more confused and even let a useless loser move into the courtyard. The head of the second branch should be changed.”

Su Li seemed to be annoyed and shouted in anger, “Stop your nonsense! I...”

“You what?!”

Su He glared with her almond-shaped eyes and a harsh light shone from her eyes, which interrupted Su Li. She sneered, “You have three breaths of time to get out from here! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“This is my courtyard!”

Su Li screamed with anger on her face.

Su He teased her, “Your courtyard? Su Dieyin told you that? According to the rules of the second branch of the Su Family, any disciples can challenge the owner of the courtyard to become the new owner. I’m challenging you now. Do you accept my challenge?”

“You!” Su Li was choked. Her hands clasped tightly together as if her nails sank into the flesh.

“Oh... I see.”

Su He revealed an expression of being suddenly enlightened and covered her mouth. She laughed, “I forgot. You are Su Jiuzhou, who is famous in the main branch of the Su Family and was recruited as an inherit disciple by Su Dieyin. But you become a piece of rubbish now, even weaker than a disciple of Lianqi Realm.”

Her eyes were cold when she said this, “Rubbish! Piss off! Are you waiting for me to throw you out of here?”

Before she finished her words, a male voice full of anger rang out from the door.

“I’d like to see how you’re going to do it!”

Hearing this voice, Su He, who was arrogant a moment ago, immediately changed her look and stretched to Su Li without saying a word.

Su Li looked gloomy, shocked, and angry.

At that moment, a shadow blocked between them at lightning speed.

Bang.

Su He was kicked away like a ball until she hit the palace wall. She covered her chest and looked at the large footprint on her chest with a very terrible and shocked look on her face. She screamed, “Su Xianyun, you’ve become stronger... How is that possible?!”

“Hoho... Su He, never judge the strength of our eldest senior fellow apprentice! The fact that you hooked up with Su Songyue doesn’t make you invincible in the world or give you guts to bully anyone.”

Another person came slowly from the door and sneered.

“Su Zheng!”

Once Su He saw him, she was just like a cat that was stepped on the tail by someone. Her eyes were full of extreme humiliation and deep fear. No one knew what Su Zheng had done to her once.

Su Xianyun did not care about the conversation between them. He just looked at Su Li, who had become silent since he entered the hall. After a long time, he apologized, “Sorry, we...”

“It’s not your fault. It’s my choice.”

Su Li’s tone sounded relaxed with a hint of bitterness. But that made Su Xianyun admire her more.

At last, Su Wenbing also walked through the door as silently as usual. But Su Li felt that he was somewhat different.

He seemed to be struggling with something.

Stared at Su Wenbing for a while, Su Li turned her gaze to Su He who had already been cornered by Su Zheng, “Who is she?”

Looking at Su He, Su Xianyun said in a cold tone, “There are all kinds of fish in the sea. Her name is Su He. She does not have any solid background. But this woman has learned some seduction techniques and got the fancy of the male disciples in the second branch. And now, she is dating with a favored inherit disciple of the Fourth Elder, which explains why she is extremely arrogant.”

Su Li’s gaze froze slightly, “Which side does the Fourth Elder belong to?”

Su Xianyun hesitated for a moment with an awkward look. Then he whispered, “He is on the master’s side. The master didn’t know this would happen, so it’s inappropriate for her to be present before everything is figured out.”

“You don’t have to explain this to me.”

Su Li smiled, “I understand the master’s difficulties. Don’t you think there is something wrong with this woman? Since she could get the fancy of the male disciples, it means she is not stupid. But she came to me to look for trouble at this time, no matter how I will end, her end is determined.”

Su Xianyun didn’t give a second thought before, but he broke out in a cold sweat as he heard Su Li’s analysis.

Su He... a female disciple with no background, had involved herself in the conflict between different cliques. It was easy to guess her end.

“Somebody must have given her instructions secretly, but she was not a fool. If the one gave her instructions was not powerful enough, she would not have put herself in a deadly situation. Su Songyue is on the side of our Master, and he has no reason to look for trouble with Su Jiuzhou. Could it be possible that he was egged by the side of the First Elder, or...”

Su Xianyun found it was more and more serious when he thought over it. He had a lot of things to tell Su Li, but at that moment he had to left with Su He in a hurry.

Before they left, Su Wenbing, who was silent all the time, was about to speak but stopped on a second thought. He spoke nothing at last and left.

Sitting quietly in the hall and watching the empty courtyard, Su Li was lost in deep thoughts.

Ya’er, who had watched what happened, held her breath. She was afraid that her identification would be discovered by Su Li and she would end up like Su He.

“Get out, I’m tired.”

With a slight sigh, Su Li turned around and walked into the deep palace.

Ya’er sighed with a relief and left the palace with her head lowing. After being outside, she found that her back was wet.

“I should have stayed out of all this...”

Ya’er got a pale face and a feeling of regret. But she felt more helpless, because she was born in such a family and didn’t have other choices.
