Chapter 258 - 10,000 Years!

10,000 Years!

10,000 years of foundation!

Su Li felt that it was her illusion when she knew there had been 10,000 years of foundation. But no matter how many times she confirmed, it was true.

Within her prediction, she was cheated by that awareness.

Su Li’s eyes were shining brightly. According to that awareness, it couldn’t exceed 1,000 year at most. But now... it was horribly 10,000 years!

The reason of breaking the bracelet was false completely!

That awareness let her break the bracelet for ulterior purpose. Since it had happened, her regret was useless, and...

“10,000 years of foundation can be enough to support me to achieve my goal.”

Su Li mumbled. She watched a flash of light appeared in the horizon with her clear eyes. She crossed her legs to sit down and closed her eyes slowly.

If this scene was seen by someone who knew the details, he or she must prevent Su Li with fear and anger.

When the purple air came from the east, it was the perfect time to practice. But it’s bad for Su Li to practice now, because it would shorten her lifespan.

The pity was that now only Su Li knew this secret. As for that awareness, in order to realize its goal, it could never tell anybody.

When the sun rose, Su Li opened her eyes. She looked surprised in a short time.

She found that she had made much faster progress!

In only two hours of practice, the amount of her genuine energy increased a lot. If she kept practicing in isolation, she could get the top of the inborn ninth hurdle and break through the longevity realm.

And because she speeded up her practice, the speed of gathering into the Immortals’ Place also increased. Without accidence, ... she could break through the longevity realm in two months.

So fast!

What a horrifying speed!

Had anyone ever seen a 17-year girl in longevity realm?

Maybe no one ever heard that. Even people in the spiritual circle could not hear that.

Su Li was confused. When she touched her wrist, she was gloomy at once. Although it’s not clear, but she found that she lost one-year foundation just for... two-hour practice！

This meant that it would take her 12 years’ lifespan to practice for one day!

“10,000 years... are too short.”

Su Li looked calm but she sighed heavily.

From now on, her time stopped. How long would she live? It all depended on herself.

After a while, Mammy Li asked Su Li to have breakfast with Lord Rui.

Su Li didn’t have meals with Lord Rui for a long time. Lord Rui was extremely happy and he couldn’t help giving dessert to her by his chopsticks.

During the meal time, Su Li suddenly stopped to say, “Dad, let’s go to a place.”

“Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Lord Rui nodded without asking where she’d take him to. As a Lord without real power in the imperial court, he was usually free very much. And today he had nothing to do as usual.

Even if there were something for him to cope with, Dongfang Rui would ignore it and accompany Su Li. His sweet girl usually was indifferent. Though she loved him so much, their relationship was not close. He had no way to make her up.

Now, Su Li suddenly asked him to accompany her to go somewhere. How could he reject her?

“Thank you, dad.”

Su Li smiled. Dongfang Rui also smiled and nodded, but he felt uncomfortable, because he felt that she smiled ...grudgingly.

Wu Bin prepared the carriage as soon as he got the message. Yun Yi got on the horse and was going to leave. Suddenly, he doubted, “Where shall we go, Miss?”

“The osmanthus forest.”

Su Li inhaled slightly and answered slowly as if these words were very heavy. Yun Yi trembled and then whipped the horse to go without saying anything.

Dongfang Rui was confused sitting next to Su Li.

The osmanthus forest was where Yun was buried. Why did she go there since it’s not the time for worship?

A half day later, the three people reach the mountain top. Dongfang Rui understood finally.

Because another new tomb was built next to Su Yun’s!

“Who is that? How dare you! How could you set a tomb near Yun’s? ...”

Dongfang Rui was really angry. Yun Yi dragged his sleeve gently and suggested, “Master, look at the words on the tombstone. That’s permitted by Miss, or nobody dared to build a tomb here.”

“It was permitted by Li?”

Dongfang Rui was stunned and then he looked at the words on the tombstone. He was shocked and he couldn’t help trembling.

Then Su Li stepped to the tomb and kneeled to kowtow three times.

“Tomb of My Wife Su Yue!”

“Tomb of My Son Su Zhouyue!”

The tomb was built by Xuan Jingzhou. He clawed the hard stones first and then covered with mud. No one knew how sad he was when he heard that Su Yue was dead with a baby in her belly.

Su Li knelt for a long time without a word. Tears flowed down on the face of Xuan Jingzhou. Knowing that Su Li was safe, he chose to go to Jianghu and stay away from the sad place.

Rustling...

Dongfang Rui went to Su Li and stopped. He asked tremblingly with uncertainty, “Is this... Yun’s sister?”

Su Li was burning ghost money. She slowed down and nodded, “It’s my aunt. She died with her baby in her belly several days ago.”

Dongfang Rui was shocked. He said nothing and felt sad when he thought that Su Li was left along in the Su Family after Su Yue died.

No!

He frowned and soon he felt that something was wrong.

He didn’t know the death of Su Yue and her baby. Why was Su Li the first one to know the news? During these days, Su Yue suddenly died while Su Li was disappeared. What a coincidence!

“Li, tell me the truth. Is there any connection between you and the death of your aunt?”

Su Li stopped thoroughly and her eyes were filled with regret facing the tomb. After a while, she shook her head and continued burning ghost money for Su Yue without a word.

Her silence made Dongfang Rui confirm that Su Yue’s death was related to his daughter. He felt stressed out.

He knew that his daughter was mysterious all the time. Su Li never covered for her disappearance. He was not sightless, so, he could feel that.

“If you are unwilling to tell me, I won’t force you. But you must protect yourself. You’re the only descent of the Su Family. Don’t get into trouble at least for your mom, OK?”

Su Li heard the deep voice of Dongfang Rui. She was stiff and she threw the last piece of ghost money. Then, she turned around with a sweet smile, “I get it, dad. I won’t let you down.”

Dongfang Rui knew that Su Li understood his words. He was relieved and he said, “It’s getting late. Let’s come back on the Tomb Sweeping Day.”

“I want to be alone for a while. Dad, go down the mountain with Yun Yi. I’ll come soon.”

Dongfang Rui was used to Su Li’s requests. He nodded and then left with Yun Yi.

When they went far away, Su Li’s sweet smile faded away. She looked at the lush grass coldly. She said expressionlessly, “Are you waiting for me to ask you out?”

After a short time, the clump of grass really swayed. A man went out.

Su Li was surprised at this man when she knew who he was, “Why are you here?”

“I...”

Ling Li was in a daze. Seeing Su Li in white with hatred and distance in her eyes, he said bitterly, “I just want... to see our aunt.”

Su Li sneered, “Aunt? Why do you call her aunt? Hierarch Ling, you are really shameless. I didn’t expect that.”

Ling Li’s heart was in pain and felt sorry for her. She said the same words before but the meaning was completely different now.

But... what happened was not what he wanted!

Ling Xian was also killed by Su Li. Even though he wanted to pay by himself, he didn’t know what to do.

He thought so much and decided to worship Su Yue. But he didn’t expect that he would meet Su Li here.

“I have already known the ins and outs. Su Li, we...”

Su Li interrupted when Ling Li was talking to her, “The tomb of the Su Family isn’t worth your worship. Please leave.”

Ling Li’s expression changed. He bit his teeth, “Li, tell me, what can I do...”

“Leave!”

“Su Li...”

“Leave!!”

Su Li’s voice got hoarse. She stared at Ling Li without any love but hatred, “Ling Li, from now on, there is no relationship between you and me. Don’t let me see you around the tomb of the Su Family. Or I’ll fight with you!”

Then Su Li turned around and went firmly without any hesitation.

The eyes of Ling Li were bloodshot. He shouted with a tremble, “Su Li, you love me these days. I can feel that. You said that you would wait for me. Was that a lie?”

Su Li trembled slightly and then speeded up. Her cold voice came from the distance.

“Nothing is certain. I don’t blame anyone but the fate. I am not the right one. Find another girl. The past has gone like smoke. I... have forgotten.”

Forgotten?

Ling Li laughed sadly. It was himself who fell in love from the beginning to the end. Everything was not real. Only he... took it seriously.

On the foot of the mountain, Yun Yi saw Su Li coming with red eyes. Though that was not clear, he noticed.

“Miss cried. What a pity for Madam Su Yue...”

Yun Yi signed in his heart but he didn’t think much. He only knew that Su Yue died for saving Miss Su. However, he didn’t know that the murderer came from the Yinmo Cult.
