Chapter 198: The Murderer

Chapter 198 The Murderer

Shaking her head, Qu Lu stopped thinking the image of the Hierarch. She was an unimportant person. It was useless to think too much.

“Mr. Li, although I was deprived of the command, I still know the personnel alteration situation of the Hehuan Sect. The previous plan does not need to be changed too much.”

Qu Lu said with gleaming eyes. She was nervous. The Hehuan Sect had done harm to her for many years. She really hoped that Su Li would continue to implement the plan and let the Hehuan Sect to suffer heavy losses!

Tap-tap-tap…

Su Li tapped the table with her fingers. It was certain that Qu Lu hated the Hehuan Sect so much. Otherwise, the Hehuan Sect would not have had the big news that shocked the martial arts circle in the previous life.

The young woman who sat in front of Su Li and looked a bit nervous exchanged her life for harming Ye Tian severely and almost ruining the Hehuan Sect!

Although she failed to ruin it, Qu Lu left an indelible mark in the martial arts circle. She also made the Hongchen Powder of the Hehuan Sect become a big joke in the martial arts circle.

Qu Lu was nervous. Su Li finally said, “We will certainly carry out the plan. However, it needs to be changed a little bit.”

Qu Lu was slightly in a daze. In her view, the plan was perfect, and there was no need to change.

“Do you know the personnel alteration situation about entering Yunjing recently?”

Since Su Li did not mention the changes of the plan, Qu Lu did not ask that. She took the scroll out of the sleeves and said, “Recently, the warriors entering Yunjing City obviously become more. The largest number of warriors entering Yunjing is from a small force called Yunge Sect rather than the Hehuan Sect or the Lianshi Cult. Perhaps it comes for the Auction Fair.”

Su Li’s eyes brightened up. Qu Lu continued to say,

“In addition to the personnel alteration, there is another alteration. I’m really concerned about it. Eighth Lord, Dongfang Rui, used to live in seclusion but comes alive recently. He even made a great disturbance because of his affairs related to the Su Family. I took it to heart, so I sent someone to monitor the mansion. Then I found that people in the mansion seem to be… reorganizing the troops these two days!”

Qu Lu took a deep breath. Her voice became lower and lower. She said, “Eighth Lord’s personal butler called Wu Bin is the former leader of the Royal Guards. He has high prestige among the Royal Guards. I suspect that Eighth Lord wants to…”

“Rebel?” Su Li said breezily. But Qu Lu’s face slightly changed. She asked, “Do you also think so?”

“No.”

All kinds of thoughts passed through in Su Li’s mind. The doubts left in the previous life seemed to be figured out by Qu Lu’s words. Su Li asked, “Before that, has Lord Rui been to the Imperial Palace?”

“How do you know?” Qu Lu was surprised. She whispered, “Eighth Lord has been to the Imperial Palace indeed three days ago. That day is the second day after the banquet.”

“That’s right.”

Su Li picked up the writing brush and a piece of paper on the table. She wrote the words “Yunge Sect” first. And then she wrote “Dongfang Rui”. Next, she wrote the emperor’s name, Dongfang Xiao.

Qu Lu felt nervous. Writing the name of the emperor without authorization was a felony. Mr. Li really didn’t care it.

In the end, Su Li wrote the word “Su”, which represented Su Zipei. Because Qu Lu was here, she could not write the full name.

In the previous life, she looked for opportunities to kill Su Zipei more than once but always suffered defeat on the verge of victory. It was because there were people around Su Zipei protecting her. Their cultivation was not higher than hers, but they cooperated very well. The defense was airtight, which made she be overcautious every time. More and more people came to help them over time. She could only retreat.

Later, she investigated them in many ways. However, she found that the Royal Guards and the Wu Family didn’t have such people. They were from another force. Before Qu Lu said “Yunge Sect”, she still thought that those people were elite forces trained by Su Zipei. Now she finally understood.

Those people… were very likely to be from the “Yunge Sect”!

Nowadays, all princes were fighting in secret. They thought that Dongfang Xiao was old and useless. Each of them wanted to ascend the throne soon. It seemed that no one cared that Dongfang Xiao was still the emperor. If Su Li hadn’t seen the force belonging to Dongfang Xiao with her own eyes in the previous life, she would have also thought so. Now… she clearly knew that the dominant force in Yunjing City was always the Dongfang Family rather than the Yinmo Cult or any other sects!

All incidents which deserved to be noticed and happened in Yunjing City would be collected and analyzed by the Dongfang Family, not to mention the matter that her mother “Su Yun” was attacked in that year. Even if the Dongfang Family didn’t meddle in this kind of important matter, they would observe in secret.

Dongfang Rui seemed to know it clearly. He visited Dongfang Xiao because of the appointment between himself and Su Li. Besides, he seemed to get the answer.

Thinking of it, Su Li looked serious. She tore the paper up and raised her head. She said, “Qu Lu, go back first and wait for my notification. Lord Rui will not attack the Imperial Palace. But no matter whom he will attack, it will cause much confusion. There will be an opportunity at that time. Before that, keep a close watch on the movements of the Hehuan Sect. If it’s in emergency, I will notice you personally!”

Qu Lu took a deep breath. Her eyes brightened up. It seemed that Mr. Li’s ambition was greater than what she thought!

However, the more the situation was chaotic, the more opportunities she would have! At that time, she would take her revenge on the member of the Hehuan Sect!

“Yes, Mr. Li. I will merit your trust!”

Su Li said “hum” slightly. She turned her palm over, and a white bottle appeared in her palm. She said, “In addition, take this bottle of elixirs first.”

“Are these…”

Thinking of the previous agreement between her and Su Li, Qu Lu couldn’t help but tremble and be excited.

Su Li shook her head and smiled. She said, “No, these elixirs are just for health care.”

These were not the antidotes of the Hongchen Powder.

A sense of disappointment flashed through Qu Lu’s eyes. She hesitated for a moment and then nodded. She took over the bottle and couldn’t help but ask, “I am not injured. Why should I take these?”

“Didn’t the Hongchen Powder hurt you? It’s poison.” Su Li had a faint smile on her face and said, “You are afraid of new poison since the original poison in your body has not been gone. However, I always like to convince others by kindness or generosity, except enemies. I will only poison my enemies to end their lives.”

Qu Lu heard it and had a reddish face. Sure enough, Su Li knew her thoughts.

“Even if you can’t feel it, the Hongchen Powder has stayed in your body for eight years. How can it not harm you?” Su Li said and glanced at Qu Lu. Qu Lu immediately felt that Su Li gained an insight into her mind. Her face became redder.

“If you want to detoxify it, you must have a sufficiently strong physique first. Otherwise, when I detoxify it for you, the Hongchen Powder will break out at that moment. You can’t hold it down and will die on the spot! Won’t I break my promise?”

Su Li patted Qu Lu’s shoulder and said gently, “After the Auction Fair, the Hehuan Sect will disappear in Yunjing City. At that time, you will be completely detoxified, and you can decide if you’ll stay or not.”

After Qu Lu saw Su Li’s sincere and limpid eyes, her heart beat faster. She had never seen such good-looking eyes. Her eyes shone, as if there was nimbus.

At the moment, Qu Lu had an intuition. The intuition came from the goodwill of Su Li. It made her involuntarily believe that she didn’t encounter a swindler like Ye Tian this time.

After a time, Qu Lu left under the cover of night. The cold wind blew through the window of the attic and blew Su Li’s hair on her forehead. Her eyes flashed with anger and were covered up by her hair.

Her biological father seemed to be less sensible. She would be angry if he sought revenge for her mother without telling her.

…

Dongfang Rui was still busy in the study early the next morning. His eyes were bloodshot since he had not slept for several days. Wu Bin looked distressed but did not persuade him. It was because he knew that no matter what he said, Master would not listen to him.

On that day, Dongfang Rui came back from the Imperial Palace. He looked different. In the face of Wu Bin’s inquiry, Dongfang Rui only said, “Call up all members of the Yunge Sect! Only slaughtering the Wu Family can totally vent my anger!”

Then, they made these movements.

The Yunge Sect was created by Dongfang Rui personally. Since that day when Su Yun disappeared, he secretly trained this small force. His purpose was very simple. After he found Su Yun, he would ask all members of the Yunge Sect to protect her closely. He didn’t expect she would be harmed.

After finding Su Yun’s corpse, Dongfang Rui was depressed for a while. But he trained the Yunge Sect severely. The purpose changed from protecting Su Yun to protecting his child in the future.

Now, the Yunge Sect obviously had a new purpose.

Just then, a manservant suddenly came in and ran to Wu Bin. He moved close to Wu Bin’s ear and said something. Wu Bin was surprised. He bent and said in Dongfang Rui’s ear, “Master, Miss is here. She wants to see you.”

Dongfang Rui was in a daze and then happy. He used to be indifferent these days. He put down the file and went out. But he stopped at the door and then walked back. He felt anxious and said, “Hurry on. Take clean clothes for me and prepare bath water!”

He hadn’t taken a shower for a few days. How could he see his daughter with such a slovenly look?

Wu Bin did not know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly arranged people to prepare for Dongfang Rui’s washing and dressing. Dongfang Rui urged constantly. All things were prepared less than half of fifteen minutes.

Su Li sat in the room and sipped her tea. The table was filled with various kinds of royal tea and desserts in the blink of an eye.

Dongfang Rui came in a hurry. When he saw Su Li, his eyes brightened up. But while seeing the intact desserts, he finally calmed down. He went in and said slowly, “Li… Su Li, what can I… do for you? No matter what you say, I will try my best to do it.”

He stuttered. His tone was quite humble. He didn’t look like a lord. Although he quickly cleaned up and dressed up, Su Li found that he was so gaunt at a glance.

Su Li was silent for a moment. Then her tone was not chilled. She said, “I’m fine. But did you forget to tell me something?”

Dongfang Rui was shocked. He looked at Wu Bin, who just came in. Wu Bin felt strange. Lord and Miss had been talking smoothly. Why did they suddenly look at him?

Su Li said, “Don’t have any doubt, Butler Wu. I know the movements in the mansion. Someone told me that you wanted to rebel. But I know you won’t. Have you known the murderer who killed my mom?”

Dongfang Rui was silent. The movements of the mansion… were even known by Su Li. He did all things in secret. How could she discover easily? He sent people to monitor the Wu Family. The Wu Family was normal. They didn’t prepare to fight.

“Tell me. What are you worried about?”

Su Li suddenly smiled. But Wu Bin felt nervous when seeing her smile. She asked, “You are worried that I will be foolish to seek revenge alone, aren’t you? Or, you have forgotten the agreement between you and me, haven’t you?”

“Of course… not.”

Dongfang Rui felt bitter. He was just worried that Su Li would be involved in trouble unreasonably like her mother if he told her. But now Su Li came here, and he had to tell her. Otherwise, he believed that Su Li would not admit him forever.

He took a deep breath and finally said, “It’s the Wu Family!”

Su Li’s eyes brightened up. She asked, “Which Wu Family? Is it the General Wu’s Mansion? Wu Jin, Wu Xiuxiu…”

Suddenly, she thought of a name. Her eyes were gloomy instantly. She shouted, “Wu Lirong?!”
