Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 418 Two idiots

In a wing room, Su Yousheng frowned when she was thinking about what to do next. Suddenly, Yu’er voice came in from outside the door, “Miss, Su Jiuzhou requests to see you.”

Su Jiuzhou?

Su Yousheng was slightly stunned to hear it. Her status was the highest in the young generation of the Seventh Branch, so she was aware of even the smallest movement in the family. She knew exactly who Su Jiuzhou was.

“Su Yuanhai picked her. Why does she come to visit me?”

Although Su Yousheng was confused, she said anyway, “Let her in.”

The door creaked open.

The door was gently pushed open. A petite figure strode the door sill and turned around to close the door.

Seeing the back of the visitor, Su Yousheng, who was distracted, suddenly stared at the person.

Su Jiuzhou?! Or…

As Su Yousheng was wondering, Su Li turned around with a smile, “It’s been two years. How are you doing, Fifth Sister?”

“It’s you, old sister!”

Su Yousheng said with excitement and suddenly realized something. She deployed a barrier to isolate the sound as her face changed slightly. Then she asked nervously, “Sis, will you tell me more about Su Jiuzhou?”

Sensing Su Yousheng’s momentary outburst of pneuma in Yuanying Realm, Su Li raised her eyebrows thoughtfully and said, “You should have guessed that I am Su Jiuzhou whom they are talking about.”

Su Yousheng was almost choked and said sharply, “No! It’s too risky, for lots of people, who are familiar with you, will go to the tea party for immortals at Yuxu Sect. What if your real identity is exposed, the consequences…”

“Yousheng, if I hadn’t taken the initiative to reveal my identity two years ago, could you recognize me back then?”

Su Li smiled, and her gentle voice brought Su Yousheng peace in her mind for a moment and the ability to think reasonably.

Yes, Su Li had a body of reincarnation. No one could indeed recognize her if she didn’t expose herself on her own.

Thinking of this, Su Yousheng smiled bitterly, “Sister, the best plan for you now is keeping your head down carefully and restoring your cultivation. Only two years passed, there is no rush…”

As she was persuading, she surmised how things happened and ended. Her sister had been practicing in Ni Sect, but she couldn’t figure out how she managed to sneak into the tea party for immortals by using Su Yuanhai.

Others might not know, but she was clear that Su Yuanhai always had a sectarian bias. It didn’t make sense that he suddenly took a disciple from an affiliated sect to attend the tea party.

Su Li quietly stared at Su Yousheng for quite a while, which made the latter feel creepy, and then she said slowly, “Yousheng, your cultivation is not lower than Su Yuanhai’s, or even slightly higher, isn’t it?”

Su Yousheng was shocked slightly, but she did not intend to hide it from Su Li. She felt embarrassed, scratching her head, “Sister, how do you know that? I had acquired a book of the law of concealing pneuma…”

Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped. Did the trace of the pneuma, which she used to deploy the barrier of sound isolation before, give the sister an index of her cultivation?

So, the current cultivation level of her sister…

As she was thinking, Su Yousheng quietly looked at Su Li and found that Su Li was still the same as two years ago, like a mortal who had not yet begun to practice.

She heard from Yu’er that Su Jiuzhou had come to the peak stage of Jindan Realm. Could…

Su Yousheng deduced a lot in a flash, she, who had reached Yuanying Realm with an age of one thousand years, was certainly not stupid.

“It’s an excellent hiding method, no wonder the whole Seventh Branch has not known your real cultivation level.”

Seeing that Su Yousheng was thinking deeply, Su Li realized that Su Yousheng must have deduced something, but she did not mind. She continued, “I didn’t notice when you burst out the pneuma last time. In this way, it would be more convenient. Remember what I said two years ago?”

Su Yousheng looked at Su Li in a daze. Even if she knew that her sister was cautious and hid from her for the sake of security, she still felt sad and bitter for collecting practicing resources for Su Li over the years. She even stole the treasury of the Su Family.

Su Li shook her head with a smile, and her voice was sincere, “I was wrong this time. But do not go to the treasury in the future. Despite your magical treasure, you cannot prevent people from detecting it. No risk, ok?”

Su Yousheng flushed at the words.

It turned out that her sister knew everything, so there was no need to feel aggrieved.

After Su Yousheng took a deep breath, the bitterness in her heart dispersed and a smile came back to her face, “I’ve certainly kept your words in my mind and I will take charge of the Su Family one day, which will be at your disposal!

…

On the first day of March, Su Yuanhai took Su Li and the other two persons to the Head Branch of the Su Family, and they checked in the guest house without any problems. Soon after settling in, Su Li saw Su Yuanhai leave the guest room with a gloomy face. He properly had been summoned by the head of the Head Branch.

“The second Tianyou Lotus should be ripe. I missed the first one in my previous life, and I should not miss the second time.”

Su Li muttered secretly, sitting cross-legged on the ground, feigning boredom, and drawing circles. But her psychic awareness spread out and seeped into the ground.

The psychic awareness that others practiced was extremely difficult to penetrate walls made of earth and sense the presence, even their psychic awareness was transmuted to the divine awareness. Su Li found hers was different.

She could not feel the obstruction, as if both the ground and the walls were illusory.

Su Li speculated that this mutation was mostly caused by the body of evil ghost. Since Black Lotus had been sleeping for two years to absorb the soul stones that she gave him, she had no one else to ask.

As the detection was in process, Su Li sensed that the spiritual power underground was converging into one place. She was about to send more psychic awareness deeper, but she realized two gazes on her suddenly.

“Su Jiuzhou.”

All psychic awareness instantly returned as she heard her name. She raised her head and found two young people standing in the doorway. She smiled and asked after a glance, “Su Fengchun? Su Meng?”

Su Fengchun did not look good, but he still nodded.

Su Meng spoke coldly, “As a disciple from an affiliated sect, you didn’t kneel when seeing us and dared to call me by my name, don’t you feel wrong?”

“Wrong?”

Su Li raised her eyebrows, for she had no interest in these two, who even were not the best among practitioners of Jindan Realm. But sometimes, there were always so many people who had never known the word “fear”.

“Take the time to go practicing instead of showing off here. If you are eliminated tomorrow, you will be hoisted by your own petard.”

With this answer, Su Li moved her gaze from Su Meng, who was furious, to Su Fengchun and said directly, “You have broken through to the peak stage of Jindan Realm, but I am afraid that you are not in the first twenty-one among the disciples of the Su Family. The tea party for immortals was an important event. Every branch of the Su Family would send three disciples to participate in the competition, which originally was considered to be some kind of protection for the weaker branches, but you two had ruined it. Do you know how many heads of branches wish to kill you now? Hm?

Su Fengchun’s face, which originally was gloomy, turned instantly pale as paper with sweat on his forehead; while Su Meng, who wanted to get angry, felt the blood running cold.

“How could…”

They hadn’t think about this at all. Su Li just hit the nail on the head, so they felt the crisis at once.

If the other five heads of branches took them to vent their anger, would Su Yuanhai help them? Even if he would… Could he?

Su Li waved her hand and sighed, “Go back and think about how to keep yourselves alive instead of looking for trouble here. I don’t understand your guys’ logic.”

Su Fengchun and Su Meng were confused and left with their minds being absent.

At the moment the Head Branch changed the rules, they felt something wrong and seemed to be ensnared, but they never thought the situation would be so serious.

“The Head never mentioned this to us. Was he already disappointed in us? And did he give me up?”

Su Fengchun and Su Meng coincidentally thought in a bad direction. The more they thought, the worse they felt, so that they ignored the trap in Su Li’s words.

The difference in strength between the peak stages of Jindan Realm was not so big.

“If the Head Branch of the Su Family could find twenty-one practitioners at the ultimate stage of Jindan Realm, he would have driven Yuxu Sect off from the first sect position long ago.”

Su Li grinned, for these two were still so young that they could be fooled just by her words.

It’s good to be stupid. They can save her troubles.

In the evening, Su Yuanhai returned to the guest house, took a look at Su Fengchun and Su Meng’s room, which was still lit. He did not bother, and turned his head towards Su Li’s room. Before he reached the door, he heard a voice in his head.

“Come in directly, and the door is open.”

Su Yuanhai did not show any difference and went into the room as Su Li instructed.

Su Fengchun and Su Meng got more discouraged as they saw this. Su Fengchun began to regret, and even vaguely began to hate Su Meng. If it were not his “excellent” idea, it would not bring him into such an embarrassing situation.

At this moment, Su Yuanhai was reporting the situation in Su Li’s room.

“Master, things are getting much better than I thought.”

Su Yuanhai was relaxed, “This time, the Head Branch suddenly changed the rules, which also affects the interests of other branches. After some arguments, the Head Branch had to make a concession and would adopt a random lottery system tomorrow. Four teams from the Head Branch, three teams from the second and third branches, plus four teams from the rest branches. There would be fourteen teams in total. The battles would happen in a group of two teams. The winner will stay, and the loser will leave!”

Su Li lowered her head at the words, “That is to say, one can defeat a weak team easily if he is lucky.”

“That’s true!”

Su Li was pondering.

The foundation of the first three branches and the last four branches was different so much. The extra disciples selected to compete were mostly from the second tier. If the last four branches couldn’t win, they couldn’t complain about it either.

In general, the last four branches were at a disadvantage situation.

“The whole Su Family was not united, and the rift between them was deepened this time, which was useful for me. In that case, those two brats scored a lucky hit and did me a favor.

Su Li stopped thinking about the internal selection, which she didn’t care about so much. Her priority was Tianyou Lotus!

“Stay here tonight and stop anyone looking for me. Besides, I need a security route map for the Head Branch.”

Su Li instructed so many things, and Su Yuanhai obeyed without any questions. He left after handing over the security route map.

After getting the map, Su Li took off the Heavy Soul Robe, so her spirit and physical body were freed immediately. The Grand Elder should be at Huashen Realm. She had to treat him carefully.

The night grew darker, so she didn’t hesitate. A black figure leaped out to the detected place along the security route.
