Chapter 538 - After the War

After dawn, the sun was covered by thick clouds, and there was the patter of light rain.

In the Yuxu Mountain, a new bamboo building was built under the disappearing Tea Peak, which was quiet in the mountains and rivers.

Su Li stood under the eaves, with a quiet and focused expression, and reached out to receive a drop of rain. Her fingertips felt a little cold, as if it could penetrate her heart.

Standing behind her, Yan Ziye didn’t understand what was so good about this ordinary rain. It was always hard to guess the Master’s mind.

After secretly sighing, Yan Ziye coughed lightly and said in a low voice, “Master, the twenty-three sects have brought their people back to their sects. According to your order, they don’t join the Ni Sect temporarily.”

Su Li came to her sense and nodded softly, “The wall has ears. Even if I control the agents of holy sects, it will not take long for them to hear the reputation of Ni Sect. However, if there is room for it, I will have time to prepare.”

Yan Ziye looked worried, “Master, although the holy sects still don’t know your existence, they can’t sit back and watch the rise of a new holy sect. I am afraid that by then, a hard fight will be inevitable.”

Su Li smiled when she heard the words, making Yan Ziye’s mood much calmer in an instant.

“You were born in the Void Sword Sect, and you know that the relationship between the holy sects of the large regions is not very solid. Besides, the scramble for the Tianjiao List distracts them. Our pressure is not as great as you think.”

Yan Ziye nodded in agreement, “What you said is right. This period of time is enough for us to stabilize the interior, and even if the holy sects come to probe, it will not be easy for them to destroy us.”

“Uh huh.”

Su Li replied, “Yan has sent a letter. The letter says that the selection of talents from other large regions is already in full swing, and we must hurry up. Those who should participate before should still participate now, and don’t let people see the flaws.”

Then, she paused, and her tone was soft, “How are my Master and others?”

“Master Mo Qin is placed in the Nuanxin Pavilion, whose healing effect was the best in Yuxu Sect. She was just frightened, and it doesn’t matter. But Deputy Lord Li Hai...”

Yan Ziye scratched his head and said, “My nerves were tense at the time, and I didn’t know the relationship between him and Master Mo Qin. I hit him a little harder. I didn’t expect that Yuxu Sect’s deputy lord is so weak...”

Su Li couldn’t help laughing.

Perhaps because Yan Ziye had been by her side for a long time, he almost forgot that he was also a talent of holy sects.

During the six years since she entered the Chuangxing Path, Yan Ziye was idle. He practiced assisted by his own secret medicine, and his cultivation advanced rapidly. By the time she stopped practicing, he was already at the peak of Huashen Realm, and he would almost be in nature’s test. How could Li Hai in the early stage of Huashen Realm be his enemy?

“Go ahead and work. You have reached two realms in the past ten years, from Jindan Realm to Huashen Realm. Although the foundation is not damaged, the state of mind needs time to accumulate. It is time to settle. And you can make breakthroughs later.”

“I see.”

......

In the Nuanxin Pavilion, Li Hai suddenly opened his eyes, and the sharpness in his eyes flashed away. Mo Qin, who was guarding him, saw him wake up and immediately asked, “Li... Deputy Lord Li, how is your injury? Does your chest still hurt?”

Li Hai nodded and said dully, “If you can call my name again, I can get better sooner.”

Mo Qin’s face flushed, and she was slightly annoyed. She got up and walked outside. Li Hai immediately followed her after seeing this. Beixiao Liang and Qi Chen in the outer hall both smiled.

After the catastrophe of Yuxu Sect, the relationship between Master and Deputy Lord seemed to have opened a crack, which was a good thing.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice, do you know the situation of people who run away with us?”

Qi Chen’s expression was slightly restrained, and he transmitted the sound in a low voice.

Beixiao Liang shook his head, “I’ve been healing Deputy Lord Li all morning, and don’t go out. What did you hear?”

“Do you still remember the ice prison that imprisons Senior Sister Apprentice Mei before?”

Qi Chen’s voice was low, and Beixiao Liang’s complexion changed slightly. “The Lord of Sect, Old Ancestor and the holy girl are all imprisoned there. I heard that there are also the lord and elders of Zihan Sect...”

“Chen, what is the origin of this Ni Sect? Do you have a clue?”

Li Hai seemed not to catch up with Mo Qin. He returned to the house and sat next to Beixiao Liang, frowning slightly, “They seem to treat us very preferentially. They don’t restrict our movements at all and even let me live in Nuanxin Pavilion to heal my wounds, except to not allow us to leave the sect.”

Beixiao Liang and Qi Chen glanced at each other, and a thin figure appeared in their minds. In the Suiling Mysterious Realm, the kindness she released to them was still clear.

If they wanted to know the answer, they seemed to have to ask her.

Beixiao Liang thought in a daze, and suddenly heard Mo Qin’s scream outside the door.

Li Hai’s complexion changed, and he suddenly rushed out the door, followed by Beixiao Liang and Qi Chen.

In the Nuanxin Pavilion courtyard, Mo Qin stared blankly at Su Li who suddenly appeared in front of her.

She lowered her head to glance at the empty water bottle in her hand, and then saw the water stain on the black gauze of the delicate woman in front of her. The water was dripping down the edges of Su Li’s clothes, and a panic suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She was careless for a while, and even poured the water, which used to water the flowers, on the person with the highest status in the Jiuzhou Region. If this woman got angry, Li Hai and Beixiao Liang would...

“Qin!”

Li Hai flashed out of the house. When he saw the scene in front of him, his heart sank suddenly. The scene of the old ancestor vomiting blood and being in a coma last night could not stop appearing in his mind.

However, he withstood the pressure and walked to Mo Qin’s side. He firmly grasped Mo Qin’s cold hand and bowed his head. He said, “Senior, please forgive Mo Qin. She doesn’t mean it.”

At this time, Beixiao Liang and Qi Chen also followed. Seeing this scene, they were surprisingly not nervous.

Su Li glanced at them, and then looked at the flustered Master. She was silent for a moment. Then her indifferent and somewhat unkind face suddenly softened. She waved to disperse the water stain on her clothes and smiled,

“Don’t be nervous. Just come in and talk together.”

Both Mo Qin and Li Hai were shocked, and they couldn’t help but feel flattered right after that, but Beixiao Liang and Qi Chen felt normal. Now that they knew Su Li’s identity, they didn’t dare to take the initiative to speak.

“Thank...thank you Master.”

Mo Qin reluctantly responded, and then walked into the house, but she was worried. Although the face of the Lord of Jiuzhou Region in front of her was very gentle, unlike the cold and cruel face of last night, her palms still couldn’t stop sweating.

“Sit down as you like. Make yourself at home. I am here today to help you out.”

Su Li waved, and a special light flashed deep in her plain eyes.

After all, the truth was not like in Chuangxing Path. In the cold despair of the previous life, her master lit a candle of hope for her. Although the candle was still extinguished in the end, it became the last warmth in her heart in this life and didn’t make her completely cold.

“Unfortunately, it’s not yet time to tell them the truth.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Li’s eyes darkened. Bizhui knew her master’s situation. She wanted her master to come out of guilt, but Fate Ancestor’s details were related to deduction. The more she exposed, the more likely she would fall into the same trap again.

“A little impatience spoils great plans. Su Li, you need to be calmer at this time. Even if the Jiuzhou Region you have gotten is really occupied by others, no one will want to be an enemy of a character who is comparable to a Junior Emperor. But if you reveal any of the identities of the ‘daughter of luck’ and ‘body of evil ghost’, the entire Qingshui Circle will come to kill you! Don’t use the name Su Li for a long time.”

Black Lotus rarely transmitted the sound solemnly.

Su Li took a breath. Looking at the people sitting in turn in the room, she calmed down.

“I believe you have a lot of doubts, especially the two little guys Beixiao Liang and Qi Chen.”

As soon as Su Li said this, Mo Qin and Li Hai were startled. Their eyes turned away.

Beixiao Liang scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Senior Sister Apprentice, you have changed so much. Junior Fellow Apprentice and I dare not recognize you.”

“Senior Sister Apprentice?!”

Mo Qin shook her whole body, turned her head and stared at Su Li’s unfamiliar face. Her lips trembled, “Are you...Li?”

Li Hai frowned, trying to see a touch of familiarity from Su Li’s face, but he failed.

Su Li slightly pursed her lips and said in a calm tone, “Although my surname is also Su, it is a pity that I am not her. Elder Mo Qin, I respect you as the master of her, so I treat well the people who have a good relationship with you.”

After that, she turned her head, looked at Beixiao Liang, and smiled jokingly, “In the Suiling Mysterious Realm, I don’t want to reveal my identity, so I casually make up an identity as the senior sister apprentice. Now if you call it that way, the misunderstanding will be serious.”

Beixiao Liang scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, “I am abrupt.”

“No?”

The light in Mo Qin’s eyes dissipated, and she was full of loss. She should have given up long ago, but why did she always have hope?

“Although I am not her.”

Su Li’s eyes narrowed slightly, “I have quite a few former subordinates of her. I guess you all know Hua Yan. Others such as Yan Ziye and Ling Qinglan are all her former subordinates in the Reincarnation Mirror, so you can trust me.”

“Yan Ziye... Those are all the former talents of holy sects!”

Li Hai seemed to know more. He frowned and thought for a moment. then he raised his head and asked cautiously, “So, why do you unify the Jiuzhou Region by taking advantage of the power of Holy Girl Su?”

“Deputy Lord Li is worthy of being the future Lord of Yuxu Sect.”

Su Li smiled, and her eyes flashed, “How about we make a deal?”

She raised her eyebrows, and her eyes gleamed with a dangerous light, “You should understand that if you have any relationship with that person, you will be the opposite side of all the holy sects. And your relationship with that person is closer. If you are driven out of Jiuzhou Region, I don’t need to say too much about your end. Since I want to develop my force, I need more help.”

Li Hai frowned tightly. He naturally knew that what the woman in front of him said was true. Because of this, he even wanted to know whether it was worth staying in Ni Sect.

“What do you want to say?”

Su Li chuckled, and said in a serious tone, “How about you all come to help me? Especially you, Li Hai, you are a rare talent. Come to be the deputy lord of my Ni Sect. It will be also convenient for you to protect the people you want to protect, won’t it? Gradually, you will find that we are all the same.”
