Chapter 135 There Is Qinghu

“Eldest Brother, it’s really not what you think. I live very well now. This… is hurt by a thief.”

After Su Li explained it, Su Qingtan stood on the side blankly and did not expect that besides himself, the Second Sister and the entire Su Family had changed in more than one year.

Ling Qinglan had no time to talk to Su Qingtan and Yan Shixun, who were in a daze. He gently untied the gauze around the left arm of Su Li. A long scabby wound was showed.

Su Qingtan was stunned inside. The wound was long and deep. She must feel painful.

Su Li turned back and slightly bit her lips. Her eyes showed that she was thinking something. She was thinking whether there was any omission or not. At that time, although she cut herself by claw blades, she noticed the orientation of the hook. Even a coroner could not see any difference.

But the Ling Qinglan… should not be overlooked!

“Ling Qinglan is such a young inborn senior with the surname of ‘Ling’…”

Su Li thought back the seniors mentioned by Ling Li in the previous life. She matched them with Ling Qinglan one by one. Then, she found that one of them matched the youth in front of her. He was the military counselor of the Yinmo Cult. He was also the right- hand man of Childe Li like the Head of Shalou Cult. He was called Qinghu with the same given name of “Qing”.

However, she needed to sound out whether they were the same person. After all, Ling Qinglan was from the Supreme Judiciary.

Su Li thought of Su Qingtan again. She couldn’t help but feel sad. After the Eldest Brother came to Yunjing, he was bound to involve in disputes, but she did not expect that Su Qingtan had been involved before she left the Qinghe Province.

After some investigations, Ling Qinglan did not give any conclusion. He went out and continued to investigate with Yan Shixun, with Su Qingtan left.

“You are involved in this case. This time, just visit your relatives. Don’t intervene in it.”

Hearing Ling Qinglan’s order, Su Qingtan felt sad. This was the first case after he became the Officer of the Supreme Judiciary. But the Su Family was involved in it and his father was in the prison of the Satrap’s Mansion. It was inappropriate for him to continue to investigate it.

“It turns out that our father changed your name. Su Li, the name is better than before.”

“Yeah, Eldest Brother, all family members treat me well. Our mother gave birth to the Fifth Sister. She lives in my room…”

“…”

Mammy Li stood outside the door and saw them talking happily. She couldn’t help but secretly wipe her tears. It was great that the First Master came back. Although the miss had a lot of helpers in secret, she couldn’t order them openly and had to bear the sufferings from the First Madam and others. But it would be different when the First Master came back.

After chatting with Su Li for a long time and coaxing Su Li into sleeping, Su Qingtan became serious and asked Mammy Li to go to the next room. He said, “Mammy Li, tell me the life of the Second Sister in the past year or so. Don’t conceal anything!”

“First Master, the Second Miss has lived a miserable life in this year! She almost died several times…”

Mammy Li had preference to Su Li and immediately described what they had suffered. Everything was true. However, she also consciously concealed another important identity of Su Li.

The more Su Qingtan heard, the angrier he was. Although Mammy Li’s words were subjective, some of them could easily be proven by asking someone. An investigation was not needed. Besides, the Second Sister’s status was not low. Files about her were kept in the Tianya House. If he could not find out them in the end, he could still know by buying them.

“Bang!”

Mammy Li said that Mam. Su-Cui and Zhu Yan smeared Su Li together and almost asked the feudal office to put Su Li into a pig cage; however, Su Huanli turned a blind eye. After hearing what Mammy Li said, Su Qingtan smashed the table seriously. His eyes were red.

He didn’t understand why all the family members bullied the Second Sister and even wanted to kill her! The Second Sister was kind and innocent. Even if they treated her badly, she still cared about them. She tried to sound out the enemy regardless of the danger for their father. She was almost killed by the enemy.

“I was born in the Su Family and they are elders. I can’t do anything, but since I am back…” Su Qingtan blinked coldly. “Mam. Su-Cui, Zhu Yan and Su Zipei, you all can’t hurt her!”

…

Ling Qinglan went out of the town to investigate the case alone. Soon he appeared in the adytum of the Tianya House in another costume. The middle-aged guard also followed him.

After reading the files about Su Li handed to him, Ling Qinglan was relieved.

Su Li was very innocent. However, her sufferings in the past and the hatred of the Su Family to her were not explained. When Su Li was still called Su Erya, she was quite common. The Tianya House didn’t invest manpower and resources in collecting intelligence about such a common person.

“Su Li is innocent. In such a case, it is not good news that members of the Lianshi Cult appeared in the Qinghe Town.”

Ling Qinglan frowned and took the robe handed over by the middle-aged guard.

Although he reached the inborn realm, he was not healthy. He reached the realm because of countless treasures of Ling Li. Ling Li did it in order to fight against the ice toxin in his body. But the ice toxin grew every year…

He did not tell Ling Li the news.

Perhaps the price should be paid to get any talent in this world. He got the mind which was better than Ling Li’s at the expense of his health.

“The Owner of the Tianya House, there were traitors in the Qinghe Province before. Many files were lost. Among them, there were the files about the site of the Lianshi Cult. It is my fault. Please punish me!”

Looking at the middle-aged man who knelt on the ground and was shivering, Ling Qinglan was calm and indifferently said, “Have you punished. As for the grade, you decide it.”

After he dismissed the owner of the branch of the Tianya House, Ling Qinglan was in meditation for a long time. The middle-aged guard lightly placed the files about the Qinghe Town on the table and closed the door curtain to leave Ling Qinglan alone.

“Cough…”

After a time, a cough came from the room. The middle-aged guard immediately rushed in with a pill bottle, but he saw that Ling Qinglan was holding a file and smiling.

“The Linli Building? There is a mysterious power in the Qinghe Town. Even the Tianya House cannot get its information! Interesting, ha-ha, interesting, cough…”

Seeing Ling Qinglan cough again, the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and poured out a black pill with a full fragrance.

Ling Qinglan took and swallowed it. Then he stopped coughing and shook his head. He said, “It’s useless to be in bad health.”

The middle-aged guard slightly shook his head silently. He remembered that when the master had not broken through the inborn realm, he spat out blood every day. It seemed that he only had few days left. Now the situation was much better.

“Go, visit the Linli Building with me.”

When Ling Qinglan spoke, he had taken off his thick robe. He opened the door and went out.

…

At this moment in the Linli Building, Su Li was dressed up as the “Mr. Li” and was in a daze in the dark night.

If Ling Qinglan was Qinghu, he would be interested in the Linli Building after he went to the Tianya House. She was waiting and didn’t know how long she would wait.

Even Su Qingtan couldn’t violate the rules of the Qinghe Girls’ School, not to mention that he came from the Qinghe School. He could not discredit the school. Therefore, he moved out this afternoon. He just visited her frequently. So at night, Su Li was free.

“Su Li, Ling Qinglan came.”

Qu Qingning came up to inform Su Li. Su Li gently nodded and he immediately left to serve Ling Qinglan. After a while, Ling Qinglan came to the attic and sat opposite Su Li with a smile.

He finally knew the reason why the Tianya House couldn’t find anything. Along the road, only ordinary waiters were not disguised. Seniors were all somewhat disguised. He could saw it with his inborn vision.

Since they were all disguised, it was impossible to find out their origins. What’s more, the gender of “Mr. Li” was unknown. Although the Tianya House thought it was a woman, he could not believe it completely.

“I’m Ling Qinglan. I’m a shallow junior. I am here to pay a formal visit to Mr. Li.”

Ling Qinglan’s behavior was gentle and elegant. He always held his folding fan. He could be called as a nice childe.

Su Li smiled and cautiously said using Sound Acquaintance, “Childe Ling is modest. If the most outstanding detective of the Supreme Judiciary is shallow in knowledge, there is no talent in the world.”

“Ha-ha ha, Mr. Li is well informed.”

Although the identity was recognized, Ling Qinglan was not in panic but smiled and said, “I heard that there is a good winery in the Qinghe Town. Indeed, it is really good.”

In spite of the polite formula, Ling Qinglan was a little nervous. It seemed that it was not a human voice. He couldn’t tell the gender. It was not difficult for him to know with his knowledge that the person in front of him must use some means. He could communicate with others without using his voice.

Difficult!

Ling Qinglan felt that he met someone who was difficult to deal with for the second time. In the first time, he met Ling Li. At that time, his body was weak and he was not as calm as now.

“Mr. Li” was not an ordinary person!

Thinking about it, Ling Qinglan said, “Don’t you think that you violate some taboos?”

“Oh? What taboos?”

Su Li was calm. She said, “‘Li’ was from the name of the winery ‘Lin Li’. It has no other meanings. Does it offend someone?”

Ling Qinglan anxiously stared at Su Li, who was in a veil. He slightly gripped the chair and leaned forward. He whispered,

“‘Mr. Li’ reminds me of ‘Childe Li’, the Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult in Jianghu, who makes people frightened when they hear his name. Do… you have ulterior relationship with the hierarch?”

“Giggle…”

Su Li immediately laughed. Her quirky voice was horrible.

“If it is true, it is really big news in the martial arts circle.”

Su Li answered in a low voice and then said with a smile, “It’s a pity… Childe Ling knows if I have relationship with the hierarch or not best, don’t you?”

Ling Qinglan squinted immediately, but his expression did not change. He still smiled and said, “What are you talking about? How can I meet the superior?”

“Childe Ling Qinglan may not know the hierarch, but there is Qinghu.”

Su Li’s tone was cold and Ling Qinglan’s heart was violently beating. Did this person know his true identity?! Was it just a guess?

Although Ling Qinglan tried to keep his expression unchanged and even his breath was normal, he was actually deeply shocked.

“Cough…”

Then he slightly covered his mouth and coughed. He reluctantly responded, “Mr. Li is so good at joking. You really scare me.”
