Chapter 171 - Reaction

It was night. Dongfang Sheng and Wu Jin were in the First Prince’s Mansion.

Crack!

Dongfang Sheng was full of anger and threw the files to Wu Jin’s face violently. Then, the files fell onto the ground.

“This is the good tactic you mentioned? Um?!”

Dongfang Sheng was going crazy and pointed to Wu Jin. His finger was close to getting to the nostril of the latter. He said, “At first you said that this tactic was flawless. Now everyone in Yunjing City know that the Hehuan Sect should be responsible for the case. How can I explain it to the people of the Hehuan Sect?”

Wu Jin felt embarrassed. He slowly bent down and picked up the files. He was suddenly savage, and after he got up, he restored equilibrium. He said in a low voice, “First Prince, there is no need to panic. I have remedies.”

“What remedies? Childe Wu, can you tell me?”

Before Wu Jin finished his words, a sweet female voice came from outside. But the emotion in this voice was different from that of the past. It was angry.

Dongfang Sheng was nervous and he raised his head to look outside. As expected, he saw that Qu Lu angrily came with the people of the Hehuan Sect. Wu Jin was serious. As soon as he spoke of the Hehuan Sect, the people of the Hehuan Sect arrived.

Qu Lu moved closer with some seniors. She smiled, but her eyes were cold, which kept others away. She gave a salute and said, “I am here to meet the First Prince.”

Dongfang Sheng smiled reluctantly and quickly came over to support Qu Lu, “Why do you come here today? I have mixed feelings of surprise and joy.”

Qu Lu fell back secretly and smiled. She said, “In my opinion, you are more scared.”

Dongfang Sheng’s look slightly changed and he didn’t say anything for a long time. He didn’t expect that Qu Lu would let him lose face. She even didn’t pretend to be harmonious.

“Lady Qu, please pay attention to your words and deeds. This is the First Prince of the Dahan Country, the future crown prince even the emperor of the Dahan Country!” Wu Jin defended Dongfang Sheng. The seniors of the Hehuan Sect behind Qu Lu instantly sneered.

Qu Lu walked lightly and came in front of Dongfang Sheng. She smiled and said, “I don’t want to make a punitive expedition against you. But according to the attitude of Childe Wu, it seems that I made a mistake. Why?”

Dongfang Sheng’s face changed dramatically and he turned back and said, “Wu Jin, shut up!”

Wu Jin was angry and clenched his hands in the sleeves. He suppressed his anger. The scene was very wonderful.

Seeing Wu Jin hold back his anger, Dongfang Sheng sighed with relief.

As far as he knew, the Third Prince had cooperated with the Lianshi Cult. If he lost the help of the Hehuan Sect, it was unlikely for him to get the position of the crown prince.

“First Prince, before you used the Deadly Powder, you promised me that you would never reveal the existence of the Hehuan Sect. But now, what is your explanation?”

Qu Lu looked furious and her tone was full of oppression. No one could expect that she was playing the trick of a thief crying “Stop thief!”

“I am unthoughtful.”

Dongfang Sheng held back his anger and sincerely said, “I didn’t expect that Chen Gong had the means to detect the Deadly Powder and also had relationship with the martial arts circle.”

“You mean that it is the fault of our Hehuan Sect’s Deadly Powder?”

Qu Lu’s eyes were cold, and Dongfang Sheng was scared and quickly waved his hand. He said, “No, no, no. I didn’t mean that.”

Wu Jin stood on the side and was expressionless. He clearly knew the intention of the Hehuan Sect. But at this moment, he had no idea to remind Dongfang Sheng.

Seeing the First Prince was tolerant, the people of the Hehuan Sect were a little proud. They didn’t want to cut off contact with the First Prince. Now they achieved their objective.

Qu Lu covered her mouth and chuckled. She restored her coquetry and said, “Since you are sincere, I’ll give you a chance. However, the former agreement between you and me should be changed.”

The First Prince was shocked and finally realized that the Hehuan Sect’s purpose was different from what he thought. But now he was weak, so he couldn’t go back on his words.

“How do you want to change it?”

Taking a deep breath, the First Prince asked. He was ready to be exploited.

After an hour, Qu Lu and the people of the Hehuan Sect left swaggeringly. The First Prince was angry and soon the sound of breaking things was heard in the house.

It was getting late. Wu Jin left but his eyes were wandering.

Many forces wanted to win, and he would not only rely on one force!

...

When Su Li and Su Huanli returned home, Mammy Li greeted them joyfully. But they did not see Su Qingtan.

When they got off from the carriage, Su Huanli did not look at Su Li and left in a hurry. He was extremely tired and just wanted to take a good sleep. He didn’t have any energy to manage other things.

After Mammy Li got the news, she prepared lots of delicious food for Su Li. She said, “Miss, life in the prison must be hard. You lost a lot of weight.”

Su Li smiled and did not answer. She lived there in the first day and last night. In the rest of days, she lived in the house of Chen Gong. She didn’t suffer a lot.

“Mammy, where is the Eldest Brother?”

After eating a mouthful of food, Su Li put down the chopsticks and asked.

“Ouch, I just waited for you and didn’t notice him.” Mammy Li patted her thigh and felt weird. She exclaimed, “In fact, the First Master does not return from the Supreme Judiciary these days. It seems that he is busy.”

“Really?”

In the mind of Su Li, Ling Qinglan’s image appeared. She nodded slightly and said, “If so, I will ask for it tomorrow. He doesn’t say anything and doesn’t go home. I am worried.”

“Hey! Miss, you have to take care of yourself first. The First Master must have something to do.”

Mammy Li couldn’t help but warn her. Although she knew some secrets of Su Li, she subconsciously regarded Su Li as a kind girl who only thought for others. This was the inherent mode in which they got along with each other. It couldn’t be changed easily.

Su Li responded with a grin and said, “Mammy, go to bed early.”

“Hey!”

The night was silent.

On the next morning, Su Li came to the Supreme Judiciary by carriage. She had already resumed the identity of the lecturer. After she stated her intention, the guards at the door did not dare to stop her. They let Su Li in hurriedly.

When Su Li was close to Ling Qinglan’s office, she sniffed and frowned unconsciously. She felt that the air was chill.

With Ling Qinglan’s injury, it shouldn’t be so serious.

“Your unexpected visit really makes me feel overwhelmingly flattered.”

When Su Li was thinking, Ling Qinglan, who was taking a folding fan, walked out from the study. It could be seen that his face was ruddy and he was smiling. He didn’t look like a person whose illness was deeply rooted in his system.

Su Li stopped thinking and said to Ling Qinglan softly, “Su Li is here to meet Lord Ling. I want to know why my Eldest Brother doesn’t go home for many days. He doesn’t say anything and I am worried.”

Ling Qinglan smiled warmly, “I see. Don’t worry. It is true that there is an urgent case in the Supreme Judiciary. We need someone to collect evidence. Su Qingtan is uneasy because of your case. I am afraid that he may make some mistakes with impulsiveness. So I dispatched him to go out. But I forgot to give a message to your family.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I see. Thank you.”

Su Li understood and said gratefully, but she also had a hint of vigilance inside.

Ling Qinglan, you were lying!

Since she let Fang Yuan contact Qu Lu, the shortcomings of intelligence disappeared. The Supreme Judiciary was also the force observed by Qu Lu. Recently, there was no urgent case in the Supreme Judiciary and there was no case that needed someone to collect evidence in other places!

Her sight quietly crossed Ling Qinglan and fell to the study behind him. She cared about that chill.

Thinking of this, Su Li smiled, “I have never come to the Supreme Judiciary before. Can you take me to the study to have a seat?”

Ling Qinglan’s smile vanished and he patted the fan. He said, “Miss Su Li is born with beauty, and it’s hard for me to refuse your request. But the Supreme Judiciary is the place to handle cases. There are many files in the study. They are all secrets. I am strong in will but weak in power. You can’t go there.”

“Ah, I just said casually. You don’t have to care.” Su Li repeatedly waved her hands and apologized, “Now I have got the news of the Eldest Brother. I am leaving now. Goodbye.”

Ling Qinglan said “hmm”. He did not forget to smile and say, “Be careful on the road.”

Su Li turned back and immediately became serious. The study of Ling Qinglan was definitely weird. But it was daytime. And Ling Qinglan was an inborn senior and lived in the Supreme Judiciary. If she wanted to explore the study, she should give the matter further thought and think about it later.

After Ling Qinglan saw Su Li leave, his smile almost disappeared with that of Su Li at the same time. His instinct told him that it was not easy to deal with Su Li.

He didn’t care about her in the Qinghe Province. But in the case of Baiwei Building, she also changed danger into safety somehow. He had to feel strange.

“Ling Li suddenly sat in on the case. It might relate to her...”

Ling Qinglan whispered to himself. He was very clear about the disposition of Ling Li. He was a person with a strong sense of purpose. If Ling Qinglan had not showed his wisdom and intelligence, Ling Li would not have saved him.

When he didn’t know Ling Li, he disdained him a lot. But he thought about it later. At that time, Ling Li also thought Ling Qinglan was garbage...

“Unfortunately, I have to control Su Qingtan, or I will definitely ask him what benefits he will get from Su Li.”

With a sigh, Ling Qinglan walked back to the study. Su Qingtan was at a critical juncture. He could not leave him.

Atishoo!

In the Ling House, Ling Li sniffed and felt very strange. Who was talking about him?

“Ling Xian, what are Ling Qinglan doing recently? I haven’t seen him for many days.”

Ling Xian smiled and said, “Master Qinglan always behaves in that way. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. He will definitely come over to visit the Old Lady and madam. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the annual autumn hunting.”

Ling Li’s eyes brightened up and he said, “Last year, my cultivation was at a critical moment, so I didn’t join in the fun. I have to see who the unfortunate person is this year.”

Ling Xian’s beautiful eyes were shining.

Many people died in the autumn hunting every year.
