Chapter 49 The Son of the General
Chapter 49 The Son of the General
Back to the Jinyuan Court, Su Li treated the wounds on her arms firstly.
Although the antidote pills detoxified the poison, the wounds were opened because Su Li moved heavily and the blood stained a large part of her sleeves.
"Fortunately, there is no injury to the bones. Otherwise, it would be troublesome."
Su Li bound up her wounds without any expression, as if she could not feel the pain. But the cold sweat in her forehead betrayed her.
She carefully put on clean clothes and used special medicine to melt the blood on the stained clothes. Then she was completely relaxed.
She boiled a bucket of hot water and lay in it while avoiding her right arm getting wet. Then, she took a sigh of relief.
After a few moments of silence, she opened her eyes and mumbled to herself, "Blood Refining Hall…"
She heard the name many times in her previous life. It was one of the top five famous killer organizations in martial arts circle. She heard that its Lord was the top senior above the inborn hurdle.
However, the most famous killer organization was still the Xuelou Cult with zero-failure rate in assassinating. She heard that its Leader was very young, but his martial arts were as excellent as the Lord of the Blood Refining Hall.
Su Li only heard the legend of the Xuelou Cult in previous life. Because when she succeeded in practicing the Collection of Poison and started to go into Jianghu, the Xuelou Cult has been ruined by an unknown fraction. No one survived. The ruin of the Xuelou Cult became one of the biggest mysteries in martial arts circle.
An honest killer organization like this fraction couldn’t leave any clues to be found by others. So, when she heard the killer came from the Blood Refining Hall, she no longer wasted time to find information.
Who sent this killer to kill her on earth?
Holding her lower jaw, Zhu Yan’s figure was flashed in her mind. Undoubtedly, it was her adoptive mother that wanted to kill her most. This was not the first time she dispatched people to kill her. It was extremely normal for her to send someone to kill her again.
The second possibility was that the competitors who envied the business of the Baiwei Building. The range was too large, and Su Li had no way to know the real murderer.
There was an ultimate possibility…
Su Li tightened her lips and remembered a man who had enough reasons to kill her. Because she heard in her previous life that people who saw the true face of the Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult… were all dead.
At this moment, something happened in the secret base of the Blood Refining Hall outside the Dasu Town.
"The soul tablet of the killer No. 21 was out. It was instantly extinguished!"
"The only task he took was to assassinate Su Li. Su Li had no force at all, but she returned to the Su House safely. I have no idea about what happened."
"Recently, some spies saw the people of the Yinmo Cult around Dasu Town. We’d better not act rashly."
"The Yinmo Cult is so powerful that we have no quality to oppose it. Double the rewards and give them back. We quit this task!"
After drawing the conclusion, Zhu Yan quickly got double value of the silver that she gave. Seeing the ruthless eyes of the contact, Zhu Yan swallowed hard and did not ask her questions.
"Recently, the Dasu Town was chaotic. The Blood Refining Hall won’t take any task temporarily. Mrs. Zhu, goodbye." The contact said coldly and disappeared into the night.
Zhu Yan didn’t move. Looking at the heavy silver in her hand, she was not happy about it in her heart.
"Damn! Why it’s so hard to kill this girl?"
Zhu Yan’s emotion was uncertain. She could not let Su Li go to Yunjing with them. Otherwise, Su Li probably was recognized by her biological parents according to her temperament and appearance. If the jade pendant was exposed, she and her daughter would not get any benefit but would die without a burial place!
"There is still another year. If the Blood Refining Hall can’t kill her, I will save money to employ the killer of the Xuelou Cult!"
Zhu Yan grasped the silver firmly. The Xuelou Cult was known for their zero-failure rate in task. She wanted to employ the Xuelou Cult this time, but its price was too high, which was ten times of the price of Blood Refining Hall. She could not afford it at all.
Back to the residence, Zhu Yan put down the silver and kneaded the area between her eyebrows with full of melancholy on her face.
At this time, Su Zipei walked in happily, "Mother, I came up with a solution."
She certainly knew that her mother hired a killer to kill Su Li. After experiencing all kinds of humiliation many times, the 14-year-old girl was not afraid but happy. She hoped Su Li die immediately!
"Mother, I heard Miss Lin said that there is a very famous cheater in the South Street. This cheater is only sixteen or seventeen years old with white skin and excellent temperament. You can ask him to
Zhu Yan instantly became happy before Su Zipei finished her words.
"Good girl, you are really smarter than me. I’ll dispatch someone to make arrangements immediately!"
***
In a poor temple of the South Street, a group of little beggars in rags were preparing foods. These foods were the leftovers of the restaurants or the things fetched from the bucket of the kitchen waste at the back door of the rich family.
Among these little beggars, a boy with a dirty face was eating a hard bun and pickles, while his clothes were extremely clean. It was difficult for him to swallow the food. Compared with the leftovers, these two things were even worse. But these clean foods were bought by this young man from the town. Eating them wouldn’t get sick or cause diarrhea.
The rest little beggars secretly swallowed saliva when they saw the steamed bun in the young man’s hand. But no one robbed his food and they just looked at him with worship.
"What are you looking at? Are you guys want to starve to death? Eat quickly!"
Qu Qingning shouted and couldn’t help but sigh. He just fled to the town. Thanks to these beggars who saved his life. Anyway, he would not abandon them. He would help them have enough foods to eat and enough clothes to wear at least. He would teach them to survive on their own.
"Big brother, don’t worry. Although we deceived a lot of people, those families who are rich will not definitely notice us. I think we can deceive those…"
The young man just beat the little beggar on his head before he finished his words.
"Heidan, you are crazy about money! If we lie to the people in big family, we will be in jail next day and never come out!" Qu Qingning smiled and scolded. This little guy looked smart at ordinary times, and he might be too hungry to think things clearly at this moment.
He thought about going to those big families not to deceive but to steal. With his acquired fifth hurdle cultivation, it was easy for him to steal from one or two families. But his Poisonous Insect had been shivering, which indicated that there must be a hidden senior in the town!
Yes. He could only give up his martial arts and become a cheater.
Qu Qingning sighed helplessly. Suddenly his ears twitched slightly and then he looked at the outside of the poor temple. A maid in nice clothes came in and covered her nose, "Are you the South Street cheater? Who is the leader? Our lady wants to see him!"
Qu Qingning’s eyes immediately shone with hope. He stood up and walked out with the maid.
After a while, Qu Qingning came back excitedly. He laughed loudly, "Guys, we will be rich! After this task, let’s give up the old business and open a small shop. Then we shall never be hungry!"
Next morning, Heidan dressed in clean servant clothes drove a carriage with valuable decorations and stopped in front of the Su House.
When the guards of the Su House wondered, Heidan opened the curtain and Qu Qingning walked down from the back of Heidan with a folding fan in his hand. After cleaning himself and wearing nice clothes, his temperament was much better than Yang Wei.
He had a pair of brooding eyes and a prominent nose. However, the two guards were immediately stunned by his inexplicably cold smile, though he smiled a lot.
They never saw a childe with such outstanding temperament in Dasu Town!
"It’s an influential personage. Go and report, hurry up!!"
Qu Qingning walked in front of the door and looked at the gate of the Su House. The guard stood in front of him and suddenly felt suffocated. He got so much sweat on his back suddenly and he was almost fainted.
His momentum was so horrifying. This person… Where did the master come from?!
"Young master, our Master invite you to come!"
Another guard came out from the inside soon and said with a smile.
Heidan looked disdainful. He tossed his head back and said in a low voice, "I don’t expect that this little family is smart. My master wants to visit your Second Miss. If you don’t take good care of him, be careful your life!"
Hearing that, two guards suddenly had cold sweat dripped from their bodies. Where did the two men come from on earth? Why did a small servant have the courage to talk about killing?
"Why did you trouble these servants? Hei, let’s go in."
Qu Qingning swayed his folding fan and walked in with a smile. Heidan snorted and followed him. The two guards sighed with relief. When did they receive such personage like him?
In the room of Main Courtyard, the maids made tea and put it on the table. Su Huanli was puzzled and he did not know where they came from. So, he laughed loudly and asked,
"My worthy nephew, you’ve come from afar. Which family do you come from?"
Heidan looked cold and scolded before Su Huanli finished his words, "How dare you! My master comes from the royal family. How dare you call him your worthy nephew? Do you want to die?!"
Su Huanli was stunned with his eyes opening wide and his heart shaking.
Royal Family!!
He doubted it at the first thought in his mind. But Qu Qingning’s extraordinary temperament and smile every time made him feel honored, so he thought maybe it was true.
This kind of temperament could only be cultivated by people who was in high position for a long time. Even if he didn’t come from the royal family, he was not definitely a person of the common family. And… maybe he was a Young Lord!
"Head of the Su family, it is rather blunt to visit you without a notice in advance. However, when I heard in County Town that there was an amazing girl in the Su Family and I decided to have a look at that moment. Can you introduce her to me?"
Heidan took out a token from his arms and presented it to Su Huanli.
Su Huanli took it carefully and watched it for a long time. However, he only knew that it was precious but he just had no idea about where it came from.
Heidan held himself from bursting into laughter. It was a high-quality counterfeit that he bought from the black market. If it was not professionally authenticated, no one knew whether it was genuine or not. However, he pretended to be angry and pointed his finger at Su Huanli and ridiculed, "Bumpkin, you can’t even recognize this token? This is the token of the General Wu’s Mansion in Dahan Country! My master is the First Master of the in the General’s Mansion!"
After hearing that, Su Huanli was so scared that his hands trembled and he almost broke the token. He immediately gave it back and didn’t collect himself from shock.
God!
The eldest son of the General’s Mansion. That was definitely the richest and most powerful family!
If Su Li could marry him and live in the General’s Mansion, her position would be higher than that of Qingtan!!
Su Huan Li immediately called Li Yin and whispered, "Butler, call Erya here, quickly. Tell her to dress herself more beautifully than before!"
Li Yin burst into laughter. Even if she didn’t dress herself, she was also beautiful. But the two young men were suspicious.
Li Yin looked back at Qu Qingning but saw that the latter’s eyes sight suddenly turned from tenderness to indifference and his lips shivered slightly.
"I don’t expect there is a senior who mastered the martial arts of the acquired forth hurdle in the Su Family…"
Li Yin was so scared that he did not dare to doubt. The young man could enter the martial arts circle at such a young age, and could saw his cultivation at first sight, so he’s cultivation must be above the acquired forth hurdle. If this God’s favored one was not cultivated from the General’s Mansion, he wouldn’t believe it!
In Jinyuan Court, Su Li immediately became interested in the man after Li Yin told her everything he knew about him. Wu Jin actually came to the Su Family at this time. It was really rare. Was it earlier that he and Su Zipei’s romance began than the time that the Su Family moved to Yunjing in previous life?
With this idea, Su Li dressed up and went to the central room accompanied by Mammy Li. When she saw the young man who sat on the chair talking and laughing, she was suddenly stunned.
Who was he?
