Chapter 207 An Old Friend

The two sat down. Wen Tingshan stretched out his wrist for diagnosis.

Su Li touched Wen Tingshan’s pulse with her fingertips. She could perceive the status of the whole body of Wen Tingshan. She was shocked by the formidable internal injuries of the man.

There were five broken ribs and almost 40% of tendons and vessels were devastated. Internal organs were damaged and bleeding. The situation was terrible.

In addition, there were more than a dozen of different breaths remaining in the tendons and vessels, which meant that Wen Tingshan had fought against at least over 10 enemies at his level or higher. Anyway, he managed to escape.

With such serious injuries, he could still try to assassinate Su Li, and got an upper hand in frontal confrontation. This was Wen Tingshan? In his heyday, Su Li might be defeated with one stroke if they two had a fight…

Su Li faintly thought that she had kept an amazing killer.

“I hope you are not frightened by this.”

A stiff and ugly smile appeared on the face of Wen Tingshan, “When you entered the agreement with me, you should know about it. The elders of Wanjian Sect are not easy to deal with. It is really hard for me to escape.”

Wanjian Sect?

People of the Wanjian Sect was hunting him down. Wasn’t he from Wanjian Sect?

Su Li’s expression remained unchanged, but her mind was slightly upset. Wen Tingshan seemed to make a mistake. He was a senior but also a big trouble for her…

Su Li looked up and said, “Seniors of the longevity realm have very strong self-healing abilities. Your external injuries have healed for a long time but you still get serious internal injuries. Your body is really in a mess. Any warriors of the inborn realm may vomit blood and die immediately. It is unwise for overstretch your genuine energy of longevity realm. You need to rest in bed. I will treat you in a regular way…”

Su Li took out a piece of paper to write down the prescription while whispering. The alert and vigilance in Wen Tingshan’s eyes slowly faded away. At this moment, Su Li really became a doctor with a concentrated and sacred expression.

She was a perfect combination of the poisoner and the pharmacist, just like the existence of a half-faced angel and a half-faced demon, revealing a strong evil spirit. However, her angelic appearance made him hardly believe that she was a poisoning master.

What a contradiction…

Wen Tingshan sighed deeply, and Su Li also put down the pen and paper with a smile on her face. Su Li said, “Then you have to undergo a difficult time for healing.”

When Wen Tingshan saw the complicated treatment plan on the table, he couldn’t help but smiled bitterly. Then he suddenly remembered something and shook his head, “I had agreed with Wu Lirong that I will bring your… to her in three days…”

“My head?”

Su Li smiled softly, “I get nothing else but a lot of heads here. I can lend you one. Then again, I have never met the enemy who killed my mother. I would like to ask you to make an introduction.”

Su Li sounded like an old friend, but Wen Tingshan knew it was more murderous than shouting for revenge.

He could understand the mood of Su Li who sought her vengeance on the one who killed her monther. But what did she mean the head that she could lend him?

After nearly seven minutes, Wen Tingshan changed into his original clothes, put on his hat and stood in the stone room. A large number of coffins were lying in the stone room. He finally understood what Su Li meant by saying “a lot of heads”.

Su Li pointed to the newly added 20 coffins and said, “Here are the corpse puppets robbed from the Lianshi Cult. Do what you like to do with them. Since you can feign the death of Wu Lirong, it should be easy for you to change a corpse’s face, right?”

Wen Tingshan nodded at the corpse puppets…

He also heard the name of the Lianshi Cult, which was the top force in the martial arts circle. Even such force was robbed by Su Li……

All of the 20 corpse puppets were fine corpse puppets over the inborn level. Wen Tingshan could imagine what a great loss to Lianshi Cult.

Yin Xuetong came in. Seeing the grim face of Wen Tingshan, she said, “Hi, Protector Shan.”

Wen Tingshan was in a daze and then he nodded gently. He didn’t know why there was a strange feeling in his heart. When he was called “senior fellow apprentice” by thousands of disciples in Wanjian Sect, there was no such feeling in his heart.

“Su Li, most of the 20 corpse puppets had been injured by hidden weapons and their faces need to be refined and repaired. Only No.14 and No.16 could be used for appearance disguise.”

Yin Xuetong opened a booklet and said that she had a detailed record of the forces in Linli Building. She had been surprised when she saw Su Li refining the corpse puppets, and thought such refining skill was too scary.

After the night in the Wu Family, Yin Xuetong immediately changed her opinion about Su Li. With her ability and profound knowledge, Su Li easily drove a wedge between Lianshi Cult and Hehuan Sect. How wise she was.

“Then No.16 it is.” Su Li sat down and asked casually, “Well, where is Qu Qingning?”

When he heard the name Qu Qingning, Wen Tingshan’s eyes were even brighter than a light bulb. He looked like a wolf, staring at Yin Xuetong. The latter was trembled and said with a smile embarrassedly, “Qingning said he was going to take shelter.”

What had he done?

Su Li looked confused. She really didn’t know what Qu Qingning was doing. But it was probably not a good thing judging from the anger of Wen Tingshan.

Knowing Qu Qingning had hidden away, Wen Tingshan snorted, and said in a deep voice, “He is lucky. Otherwise, I will kick his ass even if you won’t let me.”

Qu Qingning, who had escaped the city at this moment, was lying on the crooked-neck tree on the mountain beside the official road. He looked sullen. Yin Xuetong told him that Wen Tingshan was actually a senior of longevity realm and surrendered already. He was scared to death and took refuge without a hesitation.

If he had known that Wen Tingshan was a senior of longevity realm, he would not offend him anyway. Fang Mu knew it well, but did not alert him while watching him playing games.

“Without money in pocket, I can only go to the mountains to hunt. Then I will think about how to go back……”

Qu Qingning scratched his head, and failed to find out a solution. He jumped off the crooked-neck tree, and was about to venture into the deep forest.

A long caravan appeared on the official road. Qu Qingning tried hard to identify the flag on the caravan.

“It turned out to be the cloth guild under the embroidery workshop of the Yunjing City. But shouldn’t it enter the city once every half a month? It came to the city less than ten days ago. Why does it come again……”

With the help of Qu Lu, they were well-informed, and knew about the channels of various forces into Yunjing City. The cloth guild shortened the shipping time. In this case, people of the martial arts circle must mixed themselves in the team and entered the city.

“Well, what’s the rush? There were still two months before December 8 of the lunar calendar!”

Qu Qingning muttered and suddenly saw an acquaintance.

A young manservant kept his head down and followed the team. He seemed to be tired with his head down. He looked up and accidentally exposed his face.

Lin Yanxing.

Wasn’t he Lin Yanxing?

Qu Qingning was so shocked that his eyes were about to stare out. How long had it been since Lin Yanxing was exiled last year? Not only was this young man rescued on the way to exile, but he was able to heal so soon that he could move?

Lin Yanxing suddenly felt something. He turned his head and saw a crooked-neck tree shaking in the wind. A sense of doubt appeared on his face, and then someone seemed to tell him something. He immediately lowered his head and followed the caravan again.

Qu Qingning hid behind the tree, swallowed his saliva and sweated all over.

Lin Yanxing not only healed, but his cultivation improved so fast that he could notice someone’s peep.

“Who has the healing skills comparable to Su Li’s? It is difficult to rebuild the order in the city after purging the Wu Family, and it seems that we have some ruthless companies here……”

As he muttered, Qu Qingning watched the team leaving out of sight. Suddenly, his eyes slightly brightened. If he told Su Li about this, he might be pardoned for his wrong actions on Wen Tingshan.

“Haha, Lin Yanxing, you are really my savior!” Qu Qingning was so excited that he immediately returned back.

…

Wen Tingshan left the Lili Building silently. He put on his hat, and carried a ball-shaped object wrapped in rags, passed through the alleyway, returned to the original bungalow in which he was hiding. He was waiting.

He didn’t need to do anything. Wu Lirong would definitely come within three days.

In the past three days, Wu Lirong had been secretly monitoring the Affiliated School of the National Academy. Since Su Li went out in the morning two days ago, she had never returned. At this moment, troops of Lord Rui’s Mansion had been sent to start a quiet search in the city. The news was blocked but she couldn’t contain her inner excitement.

It was the hitman.

Surely, Su Li had no chance to resist facing such a hitman. As long as she went to the house again, maybe she could see Su Li’s bloody head.

But she was afraid to.

At least not now. Although the senior knew that she had died by fraud, he did not know that she had lost the ability to dispatch the manpower of the Wu Mansion. If her secret was exposed, she might be killed by that person.

She could still feel the horrors of the past few days. Wu Lirong’s eyes flashed with fear and viciousness. She had to find a way to deal with it.

It was the third day. Lord Rui’s Mansion had alarmed the city guards to expand the search scope. Wu Lirong was afraid that Wen Tingshan would run away and turn against her. Although she was not fully prepared, she went to the bungalow anyway.

As soon as she opened the door, Wu Lirong smelled blood. Her pupils shrank, and she saw Wen Tingshan still sitting in his original position, with a head wrapped in a white cloth beside him. She came closely with joy and wanted to confirm but was rejected by Wen Tingshan.

“Wait.”

Wu Lirong’s expression was stiff. “Sir, why……”

Wen Tingshan looked cold. Although he surrendered to Su Li, Wen Tingshan still wanted to confirm something.

“I have done two tasks for you. When will you send someone to help me find Ning Qing?”

Wu Lirong had already prepared and responded without panic, “Rest assured. In the three days when you were busy in killing Su Li, I had sent someone to investigate. Now, all the people named Ning Qing in the entire Yunjing City were brought back to the Wu Mansion. As long as you show me the head, I will bring them over to you immediately.”

Wen Tingshan’s eyes flickered. He looked hesitant, “Are you serious?”
