The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 195 - 199 The Happy Life of the Second Generation Heir (10)
Chapter 195: Chapter 199 The Happy Life of the Second Generation Heir (10)
No one expected that twenty years later, the matter would still be brought up.
What is swallowed cannot be spit out, and even though the Sect Leader was absent, they dared not directly betray him.
Bai Ziruo smiled, held out his palm flatly, and levitated Yan Lingxi, who was kneeling on the ground with her head down, through the air, "I hope, Lingxi, you can appreciate the heartfelt concerns of us elders."
"How about this, I still have a pair of Dual Swords that I acquired years ago. They are light and sharp, most suitable for a woman to use."
"Lingxi, I give them to you now. With your cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can use them."
The other two elders present, who had kept silent since Su Li arrived, also silently took out a golden Ruyi and a sparkling mirror from their storage space.
Yan Lingxi did not reach out to take them. If she accepted these things, wouldn’t she be tacitly approving their shameless act of taking her father’s possessions?
"Lingxi?"
Seeing that Yan Lingxi did not move for a long time, Bai Ziruo raised his voice, displeased with a hint of authority. As he spoke, Yan Lingxi’s lips, tightly clenched, slowly began to bleed.
"What, bullying a child in front of me?" As soon as Su Li spoke, Bai Ziruo, who had a cold expression a moment ago, grunted and sat down abruptly, clutching his chest.
"Immortal Su, do not go too far. Today, you have injured two elders of the Immortal Sword Sect. Does the Joy Sect want to make an enemy of us?"
Su Li snorted twice, waved Yan Lingxi over, and then turned to look at the other two elders from the Immortal Sword Sect who had spoken.
"So what if I bully you? The weak have no right to speak." Just as they did to Yan Lingxi, she now did to them.
Isn’t it all about overpowering others? Who is nobler than who?
"Yan Chengyu promised me back then that he would gift me a Blood Lotus he had collected. Today, I have come to retrieve that item."
Su Li hadn’t mentioned other possessions of Yan Chengyu, and he wouldn’t pry them out of the possessors’ hands unless it was the Blood Lotus...
Although she no longer coveted it, at the time Yan Chengyu had promised it to her, it became hers.
It doesn’t matter whose pocket it’s in now, she wants it handed over.
Blood Lotus?
Such a precious item was naturally seized by the Master of the sect. Even if they were defeated, they couldn’t conjure another Blood Lotus.
Bai Ziruo was considering how to reply, but then Yan Lingxi, who had been very compliant on the ground, suddenly looked up and said loudly, "I know where it is."
A flash of resentment darted across Yan Lingxi’s eyes as she quickly and firmly said to Su Li, "Daoist Lord, I know where the Blood Lotus is."
Bai Ziruo: "Lingxi, don’t talk nonsense."
Ignoring the warning gazes of Bai Ziruo and several other sect elders, Yan Lingxi said directly,
"The Blood Lotus is with Zhou Ziyou."
"Yan Lingxi..." The elders of the Immortal Sword Sect stared at Yan Lingxi with murderous eyes, and had it not been for the fear of Su Li’s power, they would have silenced her the moment she spoke.
Su Li nonchalantly patted Xu Qingchuan, who had been obediently listening to their conversation, and asked indifferently, "And who is Zhou Ziyou?"
Taking pleasure in her response, Yan Lingxi said, "Zhou Ziyou is the chief disciple under the Master, who is currently at the sect and has not accompanied the Master to Kunlun Mountain."
Zhou Ziyou was also her former fiancé, now betrothed to the Master’s granddaughter.
"Then take me to meet this chief disciple of the Sect Leader, and the Blood Lotus... I will retrieve it myself."
Bai Ziruo and others could not stop them in time and could only watch helplessly as Yan Lingxi took this sinister god to search for Zhou Ziyou, the soon-to-be Sect Leader’s son-in-law and a rare outstanding disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect.
When Yan Lingxi brought Su Li to find him, Zhou Ziyou was in his cave dwelling, studying the notes his master had left him for breaking through to the Golden Core Stage.
He was preparing to use the Blood Lotus as a medicinal catalyst in three days to break through the barrier of the Late-stage Foundation Establishment and achieve a Golden Core.
He had been meticulously preparing for ten years for this, just to ensure nothing went wrong.
The Blood Lotus was a rare medicinal ingredient that was crucial for enhancing cultivation because it would not leave any lingering problems.
What he didn’t expect was that the duck on the chopping block could still fly away.
Zhou Ziyou was intently reading the notes when the Array outside his cave dwelling was triggered. Before he could get up to check, someone he never expected boldly appeared before him. freewёbnoνel.com
"Yan Lingxi?"
Zhou Ziyou looked at his former fiancée with a sidelong glance, furious, "What are you doing here?"
Yan Lingxi’s face bore a mocking smile, "You should be asking me why I could break the Array you set up outside."
Only then did Zhou Ziyou belatedly realize his oversight. The Array he set up was not something that Yan Lingxi, at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, could break so easily.
"You..."
Before he could retort, Su Li waved a beautifully embroidered handkerchief in her hand, her voice filled with disdain echoing into the cave, "Zhou Ziyou, tell him to hurry out."
"Who is it?" Zhou Ziyou was terrified, "Are you conspiring with outsiders?"
Yan Lingxi turned to leave, laughing heartily, "You’re overthinking it."
No matter how Zhou Ziyou speculated wildly, he still had to go out to face them, but before he did, he stealthily tore up a piece of Communication Token Paper.
What Zhou Ziyou could never have imagined was that, besides a strange woman and Xiao Tong, all the elders of their sect were standing outside his cave dwelling, confronting the strange woman.
Compared to their silent first encounter, a faint smile began to appear on Yan Lingxi’s face now.
After coming out from Zhou Ziyou’s cave dwelling, she automatically walked behind Su Li, standing respectfully, clearly ready to follow Su Li’s lead.
No matter how much Bai Ziruo and others tried to signal with their eyes or secretly transmitted threatening messages, she remained resolutely unswayed.
"I’m here to take my Blood Lotus."
Zhou Ziyou’s face instantly turned pale, forcing a smile as he said, "The senior is joking."
"Whether I’m joking or not, you’ll know if you ask your master since you just sent him a message."
Zhou Ziyou immediately broke out in a cold sweat, unknowingly revealing his actions right under their watch.
"Just tell your master that monopolizing what belongs to someone else for so long, the rightful owner has come to claim it. It’s better to give it back willingly, to avoid causing disharmony."
Su Li was in no hurry to act, leisurely enjoying the splendid expressions of the others. Her gaze swept over each face again and again, savoring the moment.
She felt like a major villain in a TV drama, the kind that makes people’s teeth itch with hatred.
But this feeling, she truly loved it.
She loved that they hated her to the core but could not touch her, and could only silently endure.
Just keep enduring....
