Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 232 - Change


Chapter 232 Change

Qu Lu bowed her head and said without hesitation, “I have been enslaved by the Hehuan Sect for ten years. Nowadays, I have no valuable stuff except controlling the Hongyan House. If you want it, I’m willing to hand its intelligence system over to you.”

Su Li was waiting for her last sentence. She nodded slightly and said, “Yin Xuetong will deal with it with you. In exchange, I can help you find out the whereabouts of your younger brother.”

Qu Lu nodded gently and showed a relieved smile. She said, “Thank you, Mr. Li.”

She was actually afraid that Mr. Li would forcibly let her stay here like the Hehuan Sect. Fortunately, he didn’t mention it. Now it was already the best result that she could hand the Hongyan House over in exchange for finding out the whereabouts of her brother.

She also thought that she might take control of the intelligence system of the Hongyan House after leaving the Hehuan Sect. However, an intelligence system without strength support was like an attic built on a pile of sand. It could not live through any challenges. Perhaps, on the next day that she controlled the Hongyan House, it would be destroyed by the Yinmo Cult. She rejected such an unrealistic thought when it occurred to her.

Su Li nodded and asked Qu Lu to leave. She thought to let Qu Lu stay here. However, it was obvious that Qu Lu was in the shadow of any forces because of the Hehuan Sect and she longed for freedom. It was not appropriate to let Qu Lu stay here now. What’s more, it was not late to ask Qu Lu’s opinion after she controlled the Hongyan House.

Qu Lu got up and gave a salute. She turned around and was going to leave. Suddenly she stopped and turned around. She said, “I have been separated from my younger brother for more than ten years. You are young, so, you may not know. But I still want to ask you.”

Su Li’s eyes brightened up. She said gently, “Go ahead. I have agreed to make a deal with you. It’s fine for you to ask me a question.”

“Sir, do you know what happened to the Yi Family fourteen years ago?”

Su Li was a bit shocked. She thought of Ling Qinglan subconsciously.

Tears welled up in Qu Lu’s eyes. She began to say what happened in those years, “I used to be the adopted daughter of the Yi Family. That year, I went to other places to look for my biological parents under the help of the Yi Family’s guards. When I came back, the entire Yi Family was exterminated. I asked around and only knew that my brother was still alive. But before I found him, I was captured by the Hehuan Sect.”

“What’s your brother’s name?” Su Li asked. Her eyes shined.

Qu Lu’s expression changed a little bit. She gritted her teeth and said, “My real name is… Yi Xue! My brother is the eldest son of the Yi Family. His name is Yi Mo!”

Yi Mo… Was he Ling Qinglan?

Su Li ruminated for a moment. But she didn’t tell Qu Lu about the clue. If Ling Qinglan wasn’t Yi Mo, wouldn’t she make Qu Lu be happy for nothing?

“I see. I will let people of the Linli Building pay attention and ask for it. You can rest assured and wait for notification.”

When Qu Lu heard what Su Li said, a sense of disappointment flashed through her eyes. But she quickly cheered herself up. She had looked for her brother secretly for ten years but didn’t have any useful information. If Mr. Li really knew it, that would be a strange thing.

However, Mr. Li was always infinitely resourceful in her heart. Maybe he would find her brother soon. She had waited for so many years. Nowadays, she would get rid of the Hongchen Powder soon. She could wait for another ten years!

After Qu Lu left, Yin Xuetong knocked on the door with a ledger. She excitedly said, “Su Li, since the bottle of Liehuo Spirits was auctioned at the auction house, orders are booming. We made eighty million taels in this morning!”

Based on the operation of the machine, there was plenty of raw wine of Liehuo Spirits in the cellar. But Yin Xuetong’s business sense was derived from Su Li. She said to those merchants that brewing raw wine of Liehuo Spirits was extremely difficult. They could only brew eight jars of raw wine in three months.

In this way, all the merchants immediately scrambled for bidding. Finally, they closed the deal with the price of ten million taels for a jar of raw wine, which was not much lower than the price of the Liehuo Spirits at the auction house.

Yin Xuetong’s eyes shined. She was like a little miser. Su Li looked at her and couldn’t help but laugh. Su Li said, “Silver is only useful in the secular world. Qu Lu has promised that she will give us the intelligence system of the Hongyan House. The money is more than sufficient for you to reorganize the intelligence system.”

Yin Xuetong was slightly in a daze and then nodded seriously. An intelligence system of a force was equivalent to the eyes of it. It was a very important part of the organization. Although the intelligence system of the Hongyan House was quite perfect, they needed substitutes for original people in it. That naturally required a lot of money.

It turned out that Su Li auctioned the Liehuo Spirits because of this.

Yin Xuetong came to realize it. She quietly stuck out her tongue. Su Li’s plan was closely linked and very accurate. “She is indeed the marvelous woman whom I admire.” Yin Xuetong thought.

“By the way, what happened to those people of the Dongfang Family?” Su Li asked suddenly and rubbed her glabella.

Yin Xuetong nodded with a weird expression and answered, “They all came to themselves and left before dawn. You… What did you do to them?”

She clearly remembered that before those people were impounded in the adytum, they would die rather than betray. They were all desperados and loyal to the Dongfang Family. But after Su Li entered the adytum for only an hour, their attitudes changed completely. Their eyes were full of fanatical beliefs, and they even called her “Protector Yin”.

Su Li’s means was really powerful.

Su Li took a sip of wine and held up her right cheek with her hand. She looked indifferent and said, “I didn’t do anything except a little change.”

Yin Xuetong couldn’t understand. But it involved Su Li’s means, so, she didn’t dare to ask more. She could only go to work.

At the moment, people of the Yinmo Cult who had returned home also received the information that people of the Dongfang Family had safely left from the Linli Building. Ling Li frowned and murmured, “Mr. Li, what do you want to do?”

Ling Qinglan looked at the sky. A sense of doubt flashed through his eyes. But he always trusted Mr. Li.

“Mr. Li has released goodwill to us all the time. I believe that he had his own motive in doing it this time. But our information is poor, so, we cannot understand it.” Ling Qinglan said.

“One more message.”

Ling Mo said while going into the courtyard from the outside. He looked exhausted, but his eyes shined. He said, “The Hehuan Sect and the Lianshi Cult fought in the barren mountains in the north of the city. There were great losses at both sides! Only Hua Rui escaped. However, the others did not kill each other. Instead, they were killed by an unknown force. The scene was cleaned. We didn’t find any corpses.”

Ling Li and Ling Qinglan were both slightly shocked. Ling Li gently stroked his chin and showed a wicked smile, which was inconsistent with his clothes of a playboy. He said, “It seems that when we were dealing with the Wei Family, the Linli Building was also busy.”

Only the Yinmo Cult, the Dongfang Family and the Linli Building had the ability to do it in the entire Yunjing City. All the people sent by the Dongfang Family had been arrested by the Linli Building. No prizes for guessing who would do it.

“Mr. Li’s means is great.”

Ling Qinglan figured out the reason. His eyes brightened. He said, “In this case, there will be a tangled war among the Hehuan Sect, the Lianshi Cult and the Wei Family of Nanjiang Country.”

“That’s right! Although they have suffered heavy losses during the Auction Fair, there will be someone who can’t bear it. As long as one person takes action, things will be easy.”

Ling Li said while his eyes fell on Ling Mo. Ling Mo’s mouth slightly twitched, and he nodded. He was poker-faced and said, “Master, I know what to do.”

Ling Qinglan chuckled and said, “You are the Leader of the Xuelou Cult. This kind of unpresentable and dirty work naturally will be assigned to you.”

Then, the laughter of the two men sounded in the courtyard. Ling Mo was upset in his heart. He just returned to Yunjing City for a short time. But now, he had to leave for work again.

Ling Qinglan touched his nose and looked at Ling Li with a snicker. He said, “I remember that you told aunt that Ling Mo went out to collect beautiful women in the world for you last time, and you were almost spanked. What excuse will you use this time?”

“Should you dare to mention it?!”

Ling Li was annoyed immediately. He said, “If you hadn’t figured out such an unreasonable reason and told my mother, wouldn’t I have been chased in the yard? This time, I will say…”

Ling Li scratched his head. He was distressed. He would rather battle with the Lord of the Lianshi Cult for three hundred rounds than cope with his mother. As soon as he thought of those questions that Qiu Meng usually asked, he felt awkward.

“Master, you can say that you are interested in antiques recently, so, you ask Ling Mo to inquire about the information. How about it?” Ling Xian, who stood beside them and hadn’t spoken, suddenly said. When Ling Li heard that, his eyes brightened up. He smiled and said, “Good! I will say that. Ling Mo, set off at once!”

Ling Mo was sober but couldn’t help but sigh at the moment. Master would also be afraid. There was always one thing to conquer another.

At the moment, in the Imperial Garden of the Palace, a middle-aged man in black lowered his head and slavishly followed Dongfang Xiao. He said with respect, “Master, there were a number of forces in the Auction Fair. I get some useful information. People of the Lianshi Cult was separated into four part. Although many of them were killed, they kept the Full Moon and Heart Strings. Hua Rui, Deputy Hierarch of the Hehuan Sect, came back empty-handed. At the moment, he may be on his way back to the Hehuan Sect.”

Dongfang Xiao reached out to pick up a winter sweet. His eyes opened slightly and brightened, as if he was admiring the scenery of winter sweet. But he slowly asked, “Did you get some information of the Yinmo Cult?”

“Yes!”

The middle-aged man in black said categorically. Dongfang Xiao really became interested in it. He turned around and stared at the middle-aged man. He said, “Go ahead!”

“The action of the Yinmo Cult was still as invisible as usual. But this time, it met the Hehuan Sect and they fought! However, …”

The middle-aged man in black said, “It’s a pity that the man with the jade-bone mask didn’t fight. I only saw someone of the Yinmo Cult fought. He instantly handled an extremity warrior of the inborn realm. His cultivation was really high! I was afraid to reveal my traces and could not return to report the message. So, I had to hide myself away from them. Later, I did not see people of the Yinmo Cult again. It seemed that they just frightened others and declared their dominance over Yunjing City. They did not do some excessive things.”

“Dongfang He, you really cherish your life.”

Dongfang Xiao said and gave a little chuckle. The middle-aged man in black immediately looked scared. He knelt down hurriedly and shouted firmly, “I don’t dare! I was just afraid that I couldn’t get the message back to the palace. I will never chicken out!”

“Well, get up. It’s just a joke. You are easy to be startled.” Dongfang Xiao said and waved his hand. He felt bored, but a sense of seriousness flashed through his eyes.

The strength of the Yinmo Cult was really as powerful as it was said in the rumors.
