Chapter 242 - Cheeky Hierarch Ling
Lady Su's Revenge
In the next day, Ling Li came to the Affiliated School of the National Academy by carriage. It was crowded inside and outside. He felt extremely angry.
Even Ling Mo who seldom showed his emotions felt angry.
Although Master had told him this situation last night, it... was so exaggerated.
âHe is coming.â
Someone saw Ling Li and roared to the crowd. Many people felt frightened immediately, and then they made way for him unconsciously.
But there were still many young talents who never knew the means of Ling Li. They stood in front of the door with an aggressive expression.
All of them received good education and even went straight to the National Academy. So there were a lot of poor kids touting them.
These men read books of sages and men of virtue, so they looked down upon playboys.
Ling Li couldnât help releasing his psychic awareness to scan the whole school of the National Academy. He saw that Su Li sat on her seat, and that she was absorbed in reading. It seemed that she knew nothing about what happened outside.
This girl had inborn cultivation and got psychic awareness. How couldnât she know what was going on outside?
Ling Li had a scornful expression. This was just a small difficulty. It couldnât stop him.
âGet in. If you prevent me, I will throw you to the street.â
Ling Mo heard the gnashing sound. The Leader of the Xuelou Cult who had great power nodded.
âYes, Master!â
He pushed his wheelchair firmly to the Affiliated School of the National Academy. After a few steps, a young fair man stood in front of him. He pretended to be personable and said,
âYou are Third Master Ling. I heard your name before. Princess Li is dignified. You canât...â
In the middle of a sentence, this elegant young man was carried and thrown to the street by Ling Mo with one hand. All the people were frightened.
That was the third gifted scholar in the Affiliated School of the National Academy. He might become the prime minister!
Third Master Ling came!
Lawless!
âLing Li, you are way out of line. Do you really think that we donât dare to beat you?!â
A strong man stepped in front of the wheelchair. Based on his shape, it could be known that he was the student of the College of Martial Arts.
âOh, itâs Chen Kuan. He is the first genius in the College of Martial Arts who reaches the acquired ninth hurdle! He comes to help Princess Li. He must win this time.â
Someone in the crowd said happily. As soon as the voice faded, Chen Kuan was thrown to the street just as the former elegant young man.
Most people were shocked instantly. Some playboys who had seen this scene before showed mockery to them.
âThey didnât find out how powerful Ling Liâs subordinates are and dared to challenge him recklessly. How stupid they are!â
âI didnât expect that people who are in the National Academy are so foolish.â
Playboys and young talents stood oppositely. At the moment, all the playboys jeered at young talents, and the young talents glared at them with burning eyes.
These masters from big families werenât scared away. They glared at the young talents without a sign of weakness and smiled,
âSeeing that you are so ignorant, I warn you that the servant of Third Master Ling is awesome.â
âI heard that he is a genius in practice. He once was a little beggar who was almost frozen to death. Ling Li saved him by chance. So, they grew up together, and since then, he has been only faithful to Third Master Ling.â
âThe National Academy contacted with Ling Mo in secret and promised to give him a lot of benefits. He was even invited to be the chief apprentice of the National Academy. But he refused.â
âHe is the closest servant of Third Master Ling. The Ling Family treats him very well. With rich resources accumulated, his cultivation must break through the inborn hurdle. Chen Kuan canât defeat him.â
âHa-ha, I am very happy to see that these arrogant people are defeated.â
âChen Kuan is useless. He couldnât defeat a servant.â
Young talents felt shameful. âWhen Ling Mo was young... It was a long time ago. Since they never contacted with Ling Li, how could they know that?â
But now, the two geniuses who represented the College of Literature and the College of Martial Arts lay on the ground. They didnât dare to say something. They were afraid of annoying Ling Li and being beaten.
Then no one dared to prevent Ling Li. They followed him step by step and wanted to see the fun. Nothing could drive them away.
The wheelchair creaked.
When Ling Li just stepped into the Affiliated School of the National Academy and had no time to see Su Li, a sarcastic voice came,
âThird Master Ling, you are so awe-inspiring...â
Ling Li was a little bit angry, but in a while, he recovered himself. He said cheekily, âYou flatter me, Lecturer Su. Can we start our lessons?â
Then the crowd following him for fun were shocked instantly.
Even an idiot could realize that Su Li was teasing him. They thought that Ling Li could be angry, but he accepted the praise unexpectedly?
Was this still the hot-tempered Third Master Ling who was easily doing something egoistically?
And... he was so cheeky!
All the playboys admired him. They thought that Ling Li was skilled in pursuing girls. He was really the first playboy in Yunjing City.
Su Li was a little bit angry. She kept silent and didnât know how to answer. In just one day, he became cheekier. Whatâs wrong with him?
âClass begins!â
She glared at him. Then she took out a book and didnât look at him.
Of course, she had never preparing lessons. Ling Li was as knowledgeable as her. She would never waste her time for these playboys and young talents in Yunjing City. She taught astronomy and geography, poetry and painting or anecdotes about martial arts circle recorded in ancient books.
But even so, it also made everyone present infatuated. All doubts about Su Liâs title of the âFirst Talented Woman in Yunjing Cityâ were dispelled.
With her knowledge accumulated in previous life and continuous improvements in this life, Su Liâs knowledge was impressive.
Even Ling Li was shocked by Su Liâs knowledge. He had lived in this world for seventeen years and had read numerous ancient books. After taking charge of the Yinmo Cult, he had a broader vision. However, some contents mentioned by Su Li were unknown to him.
She couldnât have such a large amount of knowledge in the Qinghe Province and the National Book Tower. Though she was also taught by Qi Xianqing, it didnât make sense.
He had checked the background of Su Li. She just learnt to read in recent two years.
Suddenly Ling Li remembered the beautiful crying face under the flower lamp in Dasu Town two years ago and the table of local dishes in the courtyard of Dasu Town. He stared at Su Li, who was leisurely speaking, and gradually looked confused and lost.
Su Li, what was the secret about you?
âAt that time, you were going to die because of serious injuries, but you tried your best to save me. You even gave me your first kiss to detoxify me. You spent all your money in adding a life-saving token to me... You obviously loved me!â
âBut when I fall in love with you, you avoid me as if I am a snake or a scorpion!â
Why?!
This question was like a circle, constantly wandering in Ling Liâs mind. But he couldnât get the answer.
...
Time passed by quickly, and as night fell, Ling Liâs carriage gradually disappeared in Wu Binâs watchful sight.
Young talents and playboys also went back, but they couldnât recover for a long time. They didnât expect that Su Liâs lessons would be so... interesting!
At this moment, everyone would like to come to the Affiliated School of the National Academy for Su Liâs lessons even if Ling Li didnât show. Su Liâs lesson was way more interesting than pedantic scholars in the National Academy!
âItâs said that the Beggarsâ Chicken of the Baiwei Building was made by Princess Li. I didnât care about it, but Iâm going to have a taste today!â
âLetâs go!â
âUnfortunately, I heard that the adoptive father and mother of Princess Li are wicked. The princess is so kind. She hasnât taken back the Baiwei Building yet. She may not feel good to see the money in her purse flowing into the Su Family!â
âI heard that when Princess Li was in the Su Family, First Master Su doted on her very much. Su Qingtan works in the Supreme Judiciary. Now he goes on a long journey for business. I think Princess Li must make a decision after her brother comes back.â
âHey, youâre well informed. Do you like the princess too?â
The person who was asked was terrified hearing the words. He looked around in horror. When he found Ling Li was not there, he felt relieved immediately. He said with fear,
âI dare not. Even if the princess doesnât belong to Master Ling, I couldnât win her heart considering my origin. As long as I can quietly see that the princess is happy, I will be satisfied.â
This person did not know that Ling Li and Su Li heard all.
âSomeoneâs consciousness is worse than this childeâs.â
Su Li spoke casually. It made Ling Li, who had kept a smile, had a long face at once. With his cultivation, he could stay. Although the cultivation of Wu Bin was not too bad, itâs still not as good as that of Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult.
Seeing that Su Li didnât call someone, he was a little happy. Unexpectedly, Su Li taunted him immediately!
âIt proves my motherâs words. To pursue a girl, one should be cheeky. I finally know the feeling of showing excessive passion to someone cold.â
âWhat are you doing here? If you canât tell me why, I will call Butler Wu.â
Su Li leaned against the window and looked at Ling Li for an answer, but she was slightly alienated.
When something was said often, people would be used to hearing it.
Su Li was used to being helplessness, and Ling Li was quickly used to being cheeky. He completely ignored the estrangement of the former and magically took out a mask and handed it to her.
âThis is for you!â
Su Li stared at Ling Liâs mask, which was made of the same jade-bone material. However, the pattern of the mask was quite different from that of Ling Li, but it had the same charm.
