Lady Su’s Revenge Chapter 203

Chapter 203 - Killing Someone

Chapter 203 Killing Someone

Wu Lirong covered her mouth immediately. She found that her neck was not cut, but still burning due to a red spot made by the sword. The force control was extremely precise. She believed the cultivation of this man was beyond her imagination!

However, despite his great cultivation, he had been hiding in the dark. He also changed dozens of accommodations in the past months. It seemed that he had been hunted by someone more horrible.

He happened to know the identity of Wu Lirong and asked her to help him find a woman named “Ning Qing”. In return, he would do something for her.

To test this offer, she asked this man to help her find a scapegoat. After all, knowing that she had made so many enemies these years, she didn’t want to somehow get murdered on the street one day.

She didn’t expect that the man managed to find a mammy who had the similar figure as hers. Then he played some trick and turned the mammy’s face into hers. At that moment, she immediately knew that she hit the jackpot.

At that night when Dongfang Rui assaulted the Wu Family, she happened to be outside and she ordered the scapegoat to stay in her room. It was a narrow escape! After she came back, she knew that his brother Wu Suijun had been sent to guard the border. She had no idea how his brother would react to this. Being afraid of getting back to the Wu Family in public, she could only resort to this man.

“You are running out of my patience. If you can’t help me, I will retake your life and find others who can help. Think clearly.”

The voice of the man came from the darkness. Wu Lirong shook her body and displayed fear on her charming face. Soon the fear was suppressed by a surging hatred.

“Sir! One more help, please. After this, I will maneuver all the resources at hand to help you find the woman. I know that you are also in trouble. If you look for someone else, how can you ensure that person could help you keep secrets like I do, right?”

The man in the darkness fell silent. After a long time, he said, “Do you want to die?”

Wu Lirong stepped back and leaned against the door. Looking at the sword still nailed to the door, she swallowed briefly, “I don’t want to die. But if I cannot accomplish the deal, I will not die in peace! Please help me. I will do everything I can to repay this favor if the deal is done!”

“Ho-Ho-Ho…”

The man made a low laugh. “Remember what you said today. I don’t care about your repayment. After helping me find Ning Qing, you can beat it as soon as possible.”

Wu Lirong breathed slightly and her face was gloomy.

This man was no better than Dongfang Rui. Why on earth did they belittle her?

What was wrong with her? Why did everyone love Su Yun and wish to marry her? Only she ended up marrying with a husband craving for nothing but fame and fortune!

When she was struggling inside, the man in the dark shouted impatiently, “What are you waiting for? Shoot it or beat it.”

Wu Lirong answered in a hurry, “Please help me kill someone!”

A flash of silver appeared in the man’s eyes hidden in the black robe. “Who is it? What’s the cultivation?”

“Please rest assured. This mission is just a piece of cake to you.” Wu Lirong resumed a sinister smile on her face, “She is called Su Li, who usually lives in the Affiliated School of the National Academy and she has reached the acquired eighth hurdle.”

The man nodded and said, “She seems to be famous, but it doesn’t matter to me. You will get what you want within three days. Remember what you’ve said.”

Wu Lirong was cheered by the promise and quickly thanked him. After she turned around, she reinstated hatred and vengeance in her eyes.

She thought secretly, “Dongfang Rui, since you did not want to marry me, I would make sure that you would live in pain forever.”

“Su Yun was dead. Su Li deserved the same fate too.”

After the class of the National Academy was over at dusk, a tall and thin middle-aged scholar walked to the front door of the National Academy holding a pile of books. The guard at the door immediately smiled and said, “Mr. Tao, long time no see. Are you going to the Mansion of the Third Prince?”

The man nodded and said politely, “Yes, the Third Prince has been busy with his homework. I need to see what I can do for him.”

The guard looked up to the scholar and said, “Take care, Mr. Tao. Goodbye.”

Seeing off the carriage, the old guard shook his head and sighed, “Scholars who are so dedicated like Mr. Tao are rarities now.”

“Aye!”

……

Inside the carriage, the man uncovered the sleeves on his right hand and glanced at the wound. A large piece of flesh had been cut with bones revealed outside. He covered the wound and looked out of the window with full of gloom.

“Sir, the Prince Mansion is here.”

The driver said. The man immediately got off the carriage and walked briskly. There was a manservant waiting at the door, who quickly came over to help the man with books.

“The Third Prince is waiting for you, sir.”

The middle-aged scholar sighed deeply and said, “Much obliged to the Third Prince.”

“It’s okay, please follow me.”

The manservant smiled and accompanied the scholar to walk inside the room. Dongfang Lang greeted the man with care, “Mr. Zi Sang, I’ve heard about the incident…Are you alright? I have arranged a doctor for you.”

Tao Zisang felt guilty. He uncovered the wound on his arm and answered, “I failed this time. I didn’t expect that the Hehuan Sect had detected our position, and prepared a lot of Visionary Powder. Although I controlled the puppet to successfully dodge the hidden weapon, I was still hurt by the Visionary Powder which had been blended into the rain and couldn’t be avoided at ease.”

It turned out that Tao Zisang, the teacher of the Third Prince and a lecturer at the National Academy, was actually the leader of the Lianshi Cult who engaged the night attack.

He was also known as the Elder of the Lianshi Cult. For the sake of the great cause of the Lianshi Cult, he had changed his identity and hided in Yunjing City for 19 years. Later he secured a job to serve as the teacher of the Third Prince 13 years ago.

It could be said fairly that everything that Dongfang Lang had learned was taught by Tao Zisang. Dongfang Lang was astonished at the sight of Tao Zisang’s wound and hurriedly arranged the doctor to cure Tao Zisang.

“Visionary Powder of the Hehuan Sect? Does it mean that my Eldest Brother has already known our plan?” Dongfang Lang frowned, “The Hehuan Sect has been wanted all over the country. How dare them!”

Tao Zisang shook his head and said, “It was not the previous member of the Hehuan Sect, but the new Elder of the Hehuan Sect. The agents told me that the Hehuan Sect would send more men for the Auction Fair. It seems that I have to ask for help from the cult too.”

He had to do so. Tao Zisang did not explain to the Third Prince how heavy the loss was. Only he knew that the entire team was lost that night and all puppets were gone. He even had no idea how he survived.

Perhaps the enemy made a mistake and thought he was dead…

However, he would not mention to anyone the shame. It was the overwhelming strength of the Hehuan Sect that caused his failure!

“If only I had obeyed Ling Qinglan and stayed put. Otherwise, there would be no such big losses.”

Dongfang Lang couldn’t help but sighed. Tao Zisang moved his lips and did not talk back. Although he did not agree with Ling Qinglan and always felt something was wrong about the man, he could not find a reason to challenge him this time.

“My Eldest Brother must be happy now?” Dongfang Lang stood up and snorted. “Mr. Tao, I will avenge you sooner or later!”

On the contrary, the First Prince Dongfang Sheng was almost driven crazy.

“Elder Dao, how can you be so reckless? Why did you raid the Wu Family without talking to me first? With this mess, how can I compete with my third brother and fifth brother in the future?!”

“Your Highness!”

Elder Dao screamed while covering the right shoulder that was still bleeding. “Don’t you remember that it was you who sought cooperation with the Hehuan Sect. I am not your lackey, Dongfang Sheng.”

“… You!”

Dongfang Sheng was staring at him. How rude this person was. Qu Lu at least pretended to be respectful to him. But Elder Dao even spared the formalities.

It seemed that Elder Dao noticed something wrong with his tone. He took a breath and slowed his tone, “I was solely responsible for the incident of the Wu Family. I will request reinforcements from the Hierarch. Don’t worry, Your Highness. I will go back to heal my wounds. Bye.”

Elder Dao got up and left. Being tested by countless battles in the martial arts circle, Elder Dao couldn’t get used to the life in Yunjing City where everything he tried to say must be weighted carefully.

“It is better to leave Yunjing City Branch to Qu Lu.”

After experiencing a rough start, Elder Dao was frustrated at the moment. He not only lost all his men but also ruined the relationship with the First Prince. If he went back like this… would he be thrown directly into the Poisonous Cave?

Elder Dao couldn’t help but shiver. He had to ponder how to report to the Hierarch.

“Ha ha ha ha…”

After checking the reports on his two brothers sent by Ma Jintian, Dongfang Yang couldn’t help but laugh. “My two brothers were so stubborn. After this incident, they still didn’t figure out what father is thinking? Success achieved by hook or by crook will only displease father.”

Ma Jintian smiled, nodded, and kept licking the boots, “You are a wise man, Your Highness. After the incident, the emperor will definitely think highly of you. The position of the Crown Prince will be yours.”

Dongfang Yang laughed even louder. He had not performed many feats. But fortunately, compared to his two idiot brothers, only he was the fittest candidate for the crown.

In the cold hall, Dongfang Wuxue sat on the wooden horse and stared blankly at the door. After a while, a middle-aged mammy came to him and said softly, “Your Highness, it is time to rest.”

Dongfang Wuxue pouted, “No. I am waiting for father and mother.”

The mammy still smiled, “Your Highness, your body is growing now and you need more sleep. Otherwise, you will become shorter. Your father and mother will not like it.”

Dongfang Wuxue stood up sadly, took the mammy’s hand and walked towards the bedroom. “If I sleep, father and mother will come, right?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“But you said that yesterday. Are you lying to me?”

“…”

After a while, Dongfang Wuxue fell asleep, breathing evenly. The mammy touched his forehead tenderly.

She said in her heart, “Your mother has fallen out of favor of the emperor and been neglected. With so many children under him, how could you expect that your father will to come to see you?”

“Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, you are destined to grow up with loneliness.”

At the same time, the Linli Building in Qinghe Town was about to close after a busy day.

Mei Ruohan was in the middle of accounts. Luo Yichen and Fang Mu went to the secluded site. Only she and Fang Ling were at the building tonight.

“Ruohan, I am going to sleep now. You should sleep early.”

“Alright, I will come as soon as I finish these accounts.”

Mei Ruohan nodded and smiled. Today was the day when the disciples of the Linli Building finished their training. After today, a number of diehard disciples would rise in the Linli Building. She and Heidan could have a rest and practice eventually.

Su Li did not intend to inform Mei Ruohan of the truth of the Linli Building. But Luo Yichen finally disclosed all the facts to her after her relentless efforts to inquire.

Mei Ruohan was unexpectedly decisive, and she chose to stay in the Linli Building.

Maybe she was a born adventurer…

Mei Ruohan was thinking about Luo Yichen with sweet happiness on her lips.
