Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 131 - Making up For Regrets


Chapter 131 Making up For Regrets

Eighteen years ago, a talented girl Su Yun was born into a poor family in the Qinghe Town. Although Su Yun’s family members were poor peasants for successive three generations, her father and mother tried their best to let her go to school. They thought the best result was that she could read as many words as possible and got married with a good husband. To their surprise, Su Yun showed a great talent in literature and was enrolled by Wen Ruomin, a new dean of the girls’ school.

The teacher and student relation was naturally not the normal one in the school. It was more of an intimate connection between the master and apprentice in the martial arts circle. Wen Ruomin regarded Su Yun as her biological daughter and taught her carefully. Su Yun didn’t let Wen Ruomin down. Su Yun successfully passed the initial test and went to the Traditional Chinese Culture Academy in Yunjing at the age of sixteen. One year later, she would become a female official of the Dahan Country.

Su Yun’s parents and Wen Ruomin were very happy. One year later, Su Yun was famous for her talent in Yunjing. Many young talents in Yunjing were crazy about her and wanted to marry her. Although Wen Ruomin was worried that Su Yun didn’t know those young talents well, she believed that Su Yun could choose a good husband at the thought of her intelligence. Since then, Su Yun would become both a madam of a rich and powerful family in Yunjing and one of few female officials in the imperial court.

But two years later, Wen Ruomin was dumbfounded when she saw Su Yun flee to the Qinghe Town and finally die in her arms.

“I didn’t know what she experienced in Yunjing in the two years and why she was chased. But I deeply regretted that I encouraged her to pursue the official career and become a female official in those years. Sometimes I think about it. If I hadn’t let her go to Yunjing in those years, she couldn’t have be killed at the age of eighteen. I didn’t even know who killed her…”

Wen Ruomin shed tears in front of Su Li. Seeing the scene, Su Li was expressionless in a veil. Only her eyes brightened up from time to time.

Su Yun and Su Li shared the same surname. What a coincidence!

Too many people had the surname of Su in the world and in the Qinghe Province, the name was quite popular. Three out of ten had the surname. Su Yun was a beautiful but unfortunate girl. Her life was very miserable. But Su Li had gone through too much misery in her previous life and what Wen Ruomin said didn’t make her feel any waves of emotions.

However, Su Li pretended to comfort Wen Ruomin, “Destiny can’t be ruled. Miss Su Yun in heaven will not blame you. It has passed for many years. Don’t blame yourself.”

Wen Ruomin wiped her tears and said with embarrassment, “Don’t laugh at me. I talk too much, but actually I want to say…”

Then she seemed to have a bone in the throat. Wen Ruomin hesitated for a while and finally said, “Su Li also encounters great danger! Satrap Yan said that you had powerful cultivation and even he was not as powerful as you. Can you… protect the girl secretly?”

Wen Ruomin earnestly begged Ms. Li. Then she held her fists and said, “You might turn up your nose at strength of my family. If you promise to help me, I could surely try my best to help you if you have any demand in the future!”

Su Li felt confused and didn’t understand why Wen Ruomin earnestly begged someone to help her. Even if Wen Ruomin wanted to make up for the regrets many years ago, Su Li didn’t understand.

That’s because she probably would not make up for any regret in her life. There was hatred… She usually took revenge on the spot.

“Dean Wen, although I’m very moved by what you said,” Su Li regrettably said, “I recently encounter some problems in my practice method and it is not suitable for me to take action. Otherwise, I will definitely help you personally.”

“Well?”

Wen Ruomin felt disappointed. Su Li said in a sincere tone and Wen Ruomin did not doubt what Su Li said. Otherwise, considering Ms. Li’s identity, she could directly refuse her and needn’t make up an unlucky excuse.

“However, I can assign someone to secretly protect Miss Su Li. Although his cultivation is not as powerful as mine, he is also a senior. Even Satrap Yan won’t compete with him within ten movements of martial arts. What do you think?”

Su Li said again. Wen Ruomin immediately turned from disappointment to joy and hurriedly said, “That’s really great. Ms. Li, what you said scares me to death! I believe that considering your moral quality, you will not do things perfunctorily. The culprit asked to meet in a ruined temple in the mountains outside the town from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. tomorrow. I’ll go back and wait for good news.

“Dean Wen, please!”

After sending away Wen Ruomin, Su Li returned to the underground adytum. And then Fang Yuan and others immediately came to her.

“Letting us protect you?”

Qu Qingning felt strange when hearing what she said. Was there a stranger request in the world than this?

“There will be many people around the ruined temple tomorrow and you must not take it lightly.”

Fang Yuan frowned and analyzed, “Xuetong and Xiaomu still have low cultivation, so they should stay in the Linli Building. Qu Qingning and I should go there. As for contact with Satrap Yan…”

Qu Qingning and Fang Yuan looked at each other and didn’t know any candidate.

Both of them had recently made great progress in cultivation, but they had not yet reached the peak of the acquired realm. If they met with Satrap Yan, they could be easily seen through.

“Where is Luo Yichen?” Su Li raised her eyebrows and said.

In the martial arts field in the backyard of the Linli Building,

Mei Ruohan sat at a small table to do the accounts. Luo Yichen’s upper body was naked and the hot sweat dripped down along his perfect shape to the ground. He punched a wooden pole and felt peaceful. He looked happy and it seemed that he was satisfied with the present situation.

At this moment, the head of Heidan suddenly popped out of the door. He shouted, “Big Brother Luo, bosses are looking for you!”

Mei Ruohan was looking at Luo Yichen and was in a daze. Heidan’s voice suddenly woke her up. She bowed her head like a frightened deer in fear and pretended to do the accounts. Luo Yichen looked back at the scene and couldn’t help smiling. When he turned his head again, he had become calm. His eyes brightened up.

“Lead the way.”

Would the woman finally assign a task to him after more than a month? He hadn’t fulfilled any duty since he recovered. He hoped that he didn’t let her down in this task. At least he could prove his value in the Linli Building.

Every time when he saw Qu Qingning and others were as busy as bees, he was sick of idleness. Luo Yichen would naturally feel uncomfortable. It seemed that he had not been fully trusted by the girl. But he was too taciturn to volunteer to ask for a task like Qu Qingning.

Luo Yichen got dressed and followed Heidan all the way to the door of the adytum. His eyes slightly turned. He had lived here for two months, but he didn’t know that there was an adytum in the Linli Building!

“Big Brother Luo, Boss Li lets you in. It means that she has fully trusted you. Don’t let her down.”

Heidan smirked and pushed open the door of the adytum to indicate that Luo Yichen could go in.

Luo Yichen just hummed. He proudly walked in the adytum. Although he couldn’t tell Qu Qingning and others his origin, he wouldn’t return kindness with ingratitude!

“Ah, you are here.”

Seeing Luo Yichen come in, Qu Qingning immediately bent his arm round Luo Yichen’s shoulder in an intimate way and said, “You have been here for a long time, but unfortunately there have been no decent tasks recently. Now there is a task for you!”

“What’s it?”

Luo Yichen couldn’t help but ask, and he immediately looked at Su Li, who was sitting in the middle of the adytum. Then he couldn’t help but open his thin lips and looked shocked.

She did not wear a veil!

She looked even younger than me!

She… was still a little beautiful, although she was not as cute as Ruohan…

For a moment, Luo Yichen’s mind was full of infinite thoughts. But he didn’t know much about the Qinghe Town, and he did not know other identities of Su Li.

“There will be a confrontation in a ruined temple in the mountains outside the Qinghe Town from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. tomorrow. You are more familiar with that place than any of us.”

Luo Yichen nodded when hearing what Su Li said. He lived there for nearly a half year and was surely familiar with the place.

Su Li clasped her hands and leaned against the back of the chair. She smiled slightly and said, “Your task is to contact the people of the Satrap’s Mansion and the Qinghe Girls’ School as a protector from the Linli Building tomorrow, and then secretly protect a female lecturer, a negotiator of the Qinghe Girls’ School against culprits, with soldiers. Got it?”

Luo Yichen pondered and said, “Am I going to contact the people of the Satrap’s Mansion?”

He was a fugitive. Was it too bold for him to contact the people of the feudal office?

“Rest assured!”

Qu Qingning smirked and made a circle with his fingers, and then he said, “With the help of an Appearance Disguising Pill, younger sister Ruohan will not recognize you.”

Luo Yichen looked kinder. He had forgotten that the girl had outstanding skills in medicine. It was easy for her to get appearance disguising pills.

Su Li took out a green porcelain bottle and threw it to Luo Yichen. She didn’t look lazy and warned in a stern voice, “Guys, be careful tomorrow. Inborn seniors may intervene in this matter. In this case, protect your life first. I won’t want to see casualties of the Linli Building with new improvements.”

Everyone felt scared when hearing what Su Li’s said, and then they nodded slightly.

Luo Yichen pinched the porcelain bottle in his hand, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

At ordinary times, he only got along with Qu Qingning, who was easy-going. Fang Yuan and Fang Mu regarded him as crap instead of a useful man. Even the lowest waiters of the Linli Building had subtle criticism to him and just didn’t say anything in front of him. Mei Ruohan heard much criticism about him, but she would rather be wronged than mention it to him.

It seemed that the Linli Building would have a collective action. He could finally show off his cultivation and truly win the respect of Fang Yuan and others of the Linli Building.

Thinking of this, Luo Yichen looked forward to the arrival of the next day.

Fang Yuan and others noticed that Luo Yichen was full of excitement, and didn’t figure out the reason why he behaved in this way. Did Luo Yichen really want to work with utter devotion for the Linli Building?

They did that for revenge. But what’s the purpose of Luo Yichen?

On the second day, the Qinghe Town was busy as usual, and the ordinary people lived a normal life. They did not realize that the satrap of the Qinghe Province was facing an unprecedented crisis today.

“Ziye, count the soldiers again.”

Yan Shixun gave an order, and looked serious. He was somewhat upset and always felt that things would not be as simple as he had thought. The enemies deliberately exposed their position, and they could dispatch soldiers to ambush them in advance. But if it was so easy, was Wu Yun such a person?

“Daddy, I have checked it five times. All of them are picked soldiers in the mansion. The news is also tightly blocked. There can be no traitors.”

Yan Ziye wore a spiffy suit and Yan Hongxiu followed behind him. She was dressed in the same suit of the martial arts circle.

Yan Shixun saw Yan Hongxiu and immediately frowned. He said, “Hongxiu, what are you doing here? Go back and accompany your mother!”

Hongxiu immediately curled her lips and said, “No! I have to go there! The Third Brother can go there. Why can’t I go? I can pull the bow open halfway, and its deterrence is not worse than yours!”

Hongxiu pointed to the silver bow behind her and said angrily.

“What did you say?” Yan Shixun’s eyes widened, as if he saw the sun coming out from the west.
