Chapter 543 - My name was Guo Fengyou
Su Li twirled the teacup in her hand, and said in a leisurely tone, “Recently, I really have nothing to do. There is a rare thing that can arouse my interest. Besides, if I don’t join them, how can I meet the owner of Linli Building?”
Fang Yuan frowned habitually. This woman was so unpredictable that he couldn’t tell whether what she said was true.
However, his instinct told him that it might not be bad for this woman to join Linli Building.
“Well, for the time being, the purpose of us is the same. What do you think about sharing information before we find the Linli Building?”
Fang Yuan raised his head and looked directly at the woman in front of him. His eyes were naturally a bit cold, and they were hard to be clear as they used to be.
A touch of profound gentleness flashed through Su Li’s eyes. She gently put down the teacup and smiled sweetly, “As it should be.”
As she said, her hand pointed at random, and a black whirlpool appeared out of nowhere. Then it spit out an eye-catching youth in yellow clothes. As soon as he came out, he knelt beside the table and said in a panic,
“Spare my life! I will tell you everything!”
Su Li ignored him. She only smiled at Fang Yuan and said, “Just now, I went out for a stroll and found that this city is really messed up. There was a thief actually, so I caught him for questioning.”
The youth in yellow clothes glared at her. When did he steal?
He just got the order to monitor the exotic practitioners in the Yin and Yang Region, but before he entered this inn, he lost consciousness and didn’t know anything.
“That’s it.”
After experiencing the desert of extreme Yang, Fang Yuan relaxed his vigilance a lot and didn’t doubt what Su Li said. He immediately nodded and said, “Since you caught him, he should be interrogated by you. We just watch aside.”
“Good.”
Su Li leaned against the table and frowned slightly, “Young man, what is your name?”
The yellow-clothed young man was stunned. He didn’t look at her and stammered, “My... My surname is Li...”
“Young man.”
Su Li interrupted the yellow-clothed man quite amusingly, and said lightly, “I will give you another chance. If you lie again, don’t blame me for being cruel. You must know that in this cultivation circle, the soul-searching skill is general. I rarely show kindness, but you are unwilling to cooperate. What a pity...”
“My name is Guo Fengyou!”
The yellow-clothed man immediately knelt straight and shouted loudly, making Su Buwang almost laugh.
It was rare to see people who could be so justified and frank these days.
“The name is good.”
Su Li praised, “Little Boy Guo, do you know the force division of the cultivation city in the Yin and Yang Region? If the answer is satisfactory to me, I will let you go without any obstruction.”
Guo Fengyou’s eyes suddenly became bright when he heard the words, “Of course, I know. I was born in the Yin and Yang Region and have made a living in the city since I was a child. There are none of the great cultivation sects and other sects in this city that I don’t know!”
“Very well, it seems that I ask the right person.”
Su Li chuckled, “Then, you can go ahead.”
Guo Fengyou was stunned for a while. He knew the news of many forces and wanted to find out the details of these people through the questions he was asked, but the woman in front of him, who looked about the same age as him, was very cunning and let him freely speak unexpectedly.
“Things were getting pretty hot. Such a powerful person comes at the critical moment. She is bound to be for that...”
Guo Fengyou was very torn. Seeing Su Li’s eyes getting unkinder, he finally couldn’t hold it, and said with a sad face, “Juecheng City is very big, and there are desperadoes. It’s chaotic, but also orderly. Most practitioners are incorporated into the three major forces in the city.
I heard from my parents that about eight hundred years ago, the three major forces were Baichuan Mansion, Sanghun Building and Lieyang Villa. Later, nobody knew what had happened. Baichuan Mansion was suddenly taken over by another completely strange force. The force is now the first of the three major forces–Linli Building.”
When Su Li and Fang Yuan heard the two words from a stranger, their eyes flashed, and they were relieved.
The intelligence was true.
“The branch of Juecheng City is extremely narrow and long, stretching for hundreds of kilometers. The Linli Building has occupied 60% of it in just 800 years, and the remaining 40% has been divided equally by the Sanghun Building and Lieyang Villa. As for the other small forces, since a new force is established and an old force is destroyed almost every day, I’m too lazy to remember.”
“Eight hundred years ago...”
Fang Yuan frowned and recalled that at that time. When Qingshui Circle was in the chaos caused by the shattering of the Reincarnation Mirror, the fact that he and Ling Li killed the 100,000 talents was also learned by the top people of the sect. Then he was grounded and couldn’t know who came here to establish force at that time.
“It turns out that the Linli Building has been established for 800 years.”
Su Li thought for a while. Who would have been against the holy sects so persistently for her?
She glanced at Fang Yuan without a trace. With Fang Yuan’s temperament, he might do this. But...since he was here now, it shouldn’t be him.
Then...
Su Li’s eyes flashed coldly. Seeing it, Guo Fengyou was so frightened.
Ling Li couldn’t even take care of his son well. He made Su Buwang be displaced and suffer a lot... The Lord of Evil was really commanding.
“This...senior, may I leave now?”
Guo Fengyou’s cautious voice called Su Li back to reality.
“You only said these little things. And you want to leave now, don’t you?”
Su Li squinted and said with a smile, “Since you know everything, you should know the locations of the three forces, right?”
“Ah...”
Guo Fengyou said with somewhat embarrassment, “The other two forces are not difficult to find, but only Linli Building... This force has always been mysterious. Even the members of it can’t be seen, let alone the gate! Every time they act, they use spell to cover their faces and dress uniformly. They usually scatter in the city. Even a seller of sesame seed cake on the roadside may belong to Linli Building. How can I know?”
The more Su Li listened, the colder her eyes became.
Fang Yuan also frowned as he thought of a possibility that should never have existed.
Such an unsympathetic person... As soon as he got the memory, he immediately made a clean break with the Reincarnation Mirror.
But how similar was this force with the Yinmo Cult in the Reincarnation Mirror?
If it was true as he thought, it would be completely meaningless to come here this time, and it would expose the whereabouts to the Shengtian Shrine.
“It’s really troublesome.”
Su Li spoke softly and casually pointed at Guo Fengyou. Then the storage bag around his waist fell off automatically.
Guo Fengyou was dumbfounded and then was greatly frightened. He immediately stood up and was about to snatch it back, but he absolutely was not Su Li’s opponent, so he grabbed nothing with both hands.
“Young man, your cultivation is not high, and your mind is very simple. But you can live peacefully until now.”
Su Li squinted and smiled. She slowly opened the storage bag as if the soul mark on it didn’t exist, “Let me see which force you are from.”
“I’m done for!”
Guo Fengyou was in low spirits and slumped on the ground.
Ding! Dong!
Two jade tokens fell on the table. One was cyan and the other was white. The word “Linli” on the back was clearly visible.
Su Li raised her brows slightly, and said in a teasing tone, “Young man, it turns out that you are the member of the number one force–Linli Building. Sorry, I didn’t recognize you... Oh!”
There was a glimmer of smile in Su Li’s eyes, but she pretended to say confusedly, “It seems that I offend the Linli Building. Do I need to kill you?”
“No!”
Guo Fengyou squatted and covered his head. He shouted in fear, “Don’t kill me! I finally became an official disciple of Linli Building yesterday. My life is... Ah!”
Su Buwang unknowingly walked closer to him. With a helpless expression, Su Buwang pulled back his hand on Guo Fengyou’s shoulder and looked at Guo Fengyou, who was frightened and convulsed. He said helplessly, “Don’t shake anymore. Don’t you realize that my sister is teasing you? How can my sister, such a good person, kill innocent people indiscriminately?”
“I’m not a good person.”
Su Li retorted. Then she turned her head to look at Fang Yuan, who was pensive, and smiled, “Fellow Practitioner Fang, are you interested in performing a play with me?”
“Eh?”
Fang Yuan was shocked.
...
After a while.
“Brother Su, how do I look in this outfit?”
Su Li straightened the bun on her head and looked at Su Buwang. Her eyes were filled with gentleness that Su Buwang could not detect.
“Well...”
Su Buwang looked at the girl with a green dress in front of him. There was a pair of pure black eyes, which were as clear as water, above the translucent cyan veil. Below a slightly messy bun, the black hair was like a waterfall, dancing randomly. She was really like an adolescent girl, innocent and beautiful.
She looked much younger than him. Su Buwang couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth, “Sister, compared with Uncle Fang, you are more...”
But he didn’t dare to say more.
The beautiful sister, who suddenly appeared, not only had higher cultivation than that of Uncle Fang, but also had skills in keeping her beauty. She looked so much younger than the mature Uncle Fang.
Comparison between them...
Su Buwang sighed. Fang Yuan’s eyelids throbbed, and his tone was calm, “Will you go?”
With a jolt, Su Buwang hurriedly said, “Go! You should go ahead. Now you had the highest cultivation in the whole team. You are the master who can take the weak sister and brother through the extreme desert of Yang!”
Su Li covered her mouth and chuckled, “Well, Fellow Practitioner Fang, do be serious with him. You have to behave well. If you are exposed, we will fail.”
“I certainly know it.”
Fang Yuan nodded without any expression, but he was a little unwilling. However, his image was really not suitable for pretending to go to Linli Building for shelter. Fortunately, Buwang was here...
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan was silent for a moment, and couldn’t help but transmit his sound, “Miss, I’ll leave Buwang’s safety to you...”
Su Li’s pupils gleamed, and she smiled lightly, “I will take care of him.”
Su Buwang looked at them and scratched his head, “What are they transmitting the sound again?”
Guo Fengyou stood in front of the inn. While hearing the three people talking and laughing, he thought desperately in his mind.
“I just became an official disciple. Is it the time to betray the sect?”
...
“Here it is.”
Guo Fengyou obediently opened the door, and enthusiastically invited Fang Yuan and the others to enter the courtyard, while eloquently saying, “Senior, the Linli Building is definitely the best place for you to entrust the children! You can know it from me. If the Linli Building hadn’t adopted me as an unofficial disciple in the early years, I would have starved to death on the street. How can I live until today!”
Fang Yuan nodded lightly. While he looked back and saw two panic faces, his eyelids throbbed.
