Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Coming Back
“Look, your Second Sister also agrees!”

Su Huanli heard it, and his eyes brightened up. He wasn't angry anymore and immediately pulled Su Li to go out.

Su Qingtan was helpless. He pointed at Su Li for a long time, but he did not say anything. Finally, he could only say with concern, “Be careful on the road.”

“I see, Eldest Brother.”

Su Li smiled sweetly. She followed Su Huanli to get on the carriage and left. After they left, Su Qingtan looked a little gloomy. He must check out the matter of the killer. Otherwise, he would always be stared at by the secret eyes and feel uncomfortable.

Su Huanli took Su Li and finally came to the most prosperous Zhongtan Street in Yunjing City. This road was the main road of Yunjing City. It connected the gates of Yunjing City and the imperial city. The street was the most popular place in Yunjing City. The imperial court's team of the sacrificial rites also passed through here every year. The rent was an astronomical figure for the Su Family. They couldn't afford the rent, not to mention purchase.

“Dad, do you buy a shop on this street?”

Su Li couldn't help but ask. Su Huanli's face trembled. He smiled and said, “You naughty girl, don't talk at random. Our Su Family can't afford to buy a shop on the Zhongtan Street.”

While they talked, the carriage drove to the alley on the side of the Zhongtan Street. Then it drove through the alley to a second-class street, the Houtan Street. There were not many other shops on the street except many inns, restaurants and wine workshops.

Moreover, because of the terrain, if people stood on the second floor of a shop on the Houtan Street and looked at the Zhongtan Street, people could still see the good scenery of the Zhongtan Street as long as there was no high-rise blocking out the sight.

Su Huanli pointed at the empty two-story shop with windows on three sides on the corner of the street and said, “Look! The best position of the whole Houtan Street is over there. Your grandmother and I consider that the Baiwei Building should have a good position. Therefore, we decide to rent this restaurant for three months first for trial. It is not too late to buy it after we make enough silver.”

Su Li's eyes brightened up. She did not expect that Su Huanli was fairly brainy in doing business. He chose such a good position.

“Dad, how much is the rent of this shop for one month?”

Su Huanli's expression was serious. He said, “Ten thousand taels per month! Li, you have to work hard to earn the monthly rent back. Otherwise, I will lose too much money.”

Even when Su Huanli said so, his face was alight with excitement. Based on the taste of the Beggars' Chicken and the natural advantages of the restaurant's location, the business could not be bad.

“I will do my best.”

Su Li entered the shop and was busy in designing the kitchen's boilers and adjusting the layout. The day unconsciously passed. Under her adjustment, the ordinary decoration of the restaurant with no special highlight became fresh and elegant and made an impression by embellishing bonsai and ornaments.

“Good! That's my daughter. You are good at doing business. Hha…”

Su Huanli looked at the room and laughed. Now only the plaque and kitchen of the restaurant hadn't been done yet. After both of them were done, he would pick an auspicious day and open a business!

Su Li went to the second floor. When she glanced at a diagonally opposite restaurant's name, she could not help but be surprised.

Yiwei Building!

The name was almost the same as the Baiwei Building. Besides, it was suppressed by the name of the Baiwei Building. When the Baiwei Building opened, they would be a pin against an awl and bound to be in trouble.

She saw it but she did not remind Su Huanli. It didn't matter to her that the Su Family earned more or less, did it?

In the next two days, Su Li returned to normal life. She practiced hard every day at the Affiliated School. The elixirs in the Affiliated School were enough. Her cultivation changed almost every day. In just a few days, her cultivation jumped from the inborn third hurdle to inborn fifth hurdle!

That's partly because she had accumulated much in the inborn third hurdle. But the speed was indeed shocking. It overturned the saying that the practice became slow after one broke through the inborn hurdle.

When Su Li tried to break through the inborn sixth hurdle, Fang Yuan and other two persons finally arrived in Yunjing City. They shook off people of the Tianya House and bought a yard as their temporary residence rather than finding Su Li immediately.

Shortly afterwards, the news that the three persons entering the city had passed to Ling Li's ears.

“It's been ten days late. Besides, they disappeared immediately after entering the city.” Ling Li said and gently stroked his chin. He slightly curled up his mouth because Su Li finally used the wooden token left by him.

However, it was not necessarily a good thing that she moved her secret forces into the city at one fell swoop.

Thinking of the news from the Tianya House these days, he furrowed his brows. The forces in Yunjing City were more and more miscellaneous.

“Master, two days ago, Su Li encountered assassination and was rescued by Chen Gong finally. People sent by us did not come forward.” Ling Mo said. His hidden meaning was that the group of killers actually could not hurt Su Li.

Ling Li slightly answered “Huh” and asked, “What's the cultivation demonstrated by her?”

Ling Mo glanced at Ling Xian, who listened to them quietly on the side, and said, “Acquired eighth hurdle.”

As soon as he said, Ling Xian's eyes became softer. However, it was not seen by Ling Mo and Ling Li.

Ling Li heard it and smiled. She had already been in the peak of the acquired hurdle more than half a year ago. She could also refine elixirs and let her cultivation jump two hurdles in the inborn realm. If Su Li hadn't broken through the inborn hurdle after such a long time… that would have been a joke.

However, Ling Li was uncertain about the hurdle of Su Li's cultivation. He estimated that her cultivation had at least been in the inborn third hurdle. Ling Mo and Ling Xian had practiced with him since childhood, but they were just in the inborn fourth hurdle.

“Besides, the Baiwei Building of the Su Family is about to open.”

Ling Mo reminded him. Ling Li smiled and said, “It seems that I need my Second Brother to be a shield.”

Su Li's name was spread all over Yunjing. Fang Yuan and other two persons didn't take much time but got all information about Su Li. They could not help but be speechless. They lived a hard life on the road, but Su Li enjoyed herself.

They made a simple dinner to eat and slept comfortably. On the second day, they finally recovered energy and began to find a new address for the Linli Building. They walked around all the streets.

For the new address of the Linli Building, Su Li had already made a requirement. It should not be close to the Imperial City within ten li. Therefore, with the Yunjing City as the center, all places within a circumference of ten li could not be selected.

That's because the underground soil of the Yunjing City within ten li was extremely hard white stone and it was too difficult to dig out an underground space. The wine of the Linli Building was unique, so they were not afraid that other wineries would follow suit. Even if the Linli Building was slightly remote, it didn't matter. The bibulous people would find the door.

There were a lot of shops that met Su Li's requirements. After they walked around for a long time, they selected for a little while. Finally, there were ten shops left for Su Li to decide.

At midnight, a dart was shot on the edge of Su Li's bed. Su Li opened her eyes. She took the dart down and opened the scrip fastened on it. There was the word “Fang” impressively on the scrip.

Putting on black clothes, Su Li listened for a while at the door of Su Qingtan. After she was sure that he had fallen asleep, she flew to the roof like an elf in the night and flew straight to the direction of the dart. She didn't spend a long time on finding Fang Yuan who hid in the dark place of the lane.

Fang Yuan hadn't seen Su Li for a long time. He was slightly flustered and stood up. When he was about to speak, his mouth was covered by Su Li's fingertips. A sound was transmitted from the latter.

“Yunjing City is not the same as the Qinghe Town. It is dangerous in the night. Don't speak. Take me to your yard first.”

Fang Yuan calmed down and nodded slightly. Then he showed up and led the way.

After half of five minutes, Su Li took off the black hood and sized up the yard. She praised, “It is good. This yard is secluded. It is a good place to stay.”

Qu Qingning and Yin Xuetong heard the sound and walked out to greet them. They were very happy to see Su Li. Although they all had clever minds and good cultivation, they were in a state of disunity and couldn't form combat forces if they didn't have the backbone, Su Li.

“Go in to expatiate.”

Su Li reached out her hands and used her psychic awareness to probe the surroundings. Then she took them to go in the yard trustingly. There were too many seniors in Yunjing City. The inborn fifth hurdle was at most upper-class, so she must be careful.

In the study, four persons sat face to face. Yin Xuetong carefully took out pieces of paper which were thin, crumpled and yellowish from a wooden box. She said, “Fortunately, we went in time. After we had used some means to obtain them, we encountered officers and soldiers tracing us on the next day. Lin Xiang has been dead in the exiled team.”

When Su Li saw so much thin paper, she could not help but look serious. She picked up one piece and scrutinized it.

“There is one more thing meriting attention.”

Qu Qingning added, and his expression was strange. He said, “The person named Lin Yanxing disappeared. When we went there, we didn't see him. He seemed to evaporate directly from the team. If he was alive, we couldn't find him. If he died, we couldn't find his corpse. It is really weird.”

When Su Li glanced at the words “Hongchen Powder” on the thin paper, her eyes brightened up a lot. She flatly said,

“There is no need to care about Lin Yanxing. He has a natural aptitude. It is not surprising that he was taken away by people in the martial arts circle. Those sects disdain the profane vendettas. Therefore, it is quite possible that Lin Yanxing will avenge by himself. However, Yan Hongxiu has the psychic bow, and I also gave Yan Ziye a chance. It is uncertain whether Lin Yanxing can win the brother and sister or not.”

Fang Yuan heard it and was at ease. It was not unexpected for him. Su Li always liked to arrange everything well, as if she had foresight. Even if accidents occurred, she would think of remedies soon. This was her personality charm.

“Well, don't mention those.” Su Li put away the thin paper next to the skin. Then she said, “You entered the city today. Have you found a location for the Linli Building?”

“Of course, we have!”

Qu Qingning immediately became complacent. He took out the map of the Yunjing City from his arms and spread it on the table. The map was marked with ten red circles which were the last ten places finally chosen by them.

Su Li slightly squinted at it and pointed at one of them without hesitation.

Yin Xuetong moved closer to look at it and felt strange in her heart. The shop was eliminated by them before. First, the land was fairly expensive; second, the shop was in a lane. Hardly anyone could notice it. Why did Su Li like it?

“Do as I say.”

Su Li remarked the position, which she had decided to choose long before. The reason why she asked Fang Yuan and others to find good positions was just deceiving the public, especially deceiving a shop.

“This time, three of you should build the underground adytum personally and do not let craftsmen notice it. Besides, you need to guard against the next-door shop watching. The next-door shop is also a winery, which is opened by a couple in the inborn realm. You have to be careful.”

Su Li cautioned them. Fang Yuan's and others' pupils narrowed slightly. Two inborn seniors opened a small winery. Were you kidding us?

“Or else we…” Qu Qingning rubbed his hands together and said with a forced smile, “Or else we change a place?”

He was indeed flustered to establish the Linli Building with full of secrets next to the shop of two inborn seniors.

Su Li smiled slightly and said, “How can I do that? I would like to have them join us. Do we have any chance if we choose another place? That's the deal. Three of you should start early. My current identity is quite sensitive. It's inadvisable to show my face frequently.”

Fang Yuan nodded and said, “Don't worry. We won't bother you too much.”

He had gathered up the threads of the third hurdle of the Ao Sword Skills. Presumably after a few months, he would surpass Luo Yichen and become the second inborn senior of the Linli Building.

At this moment, he did not know that Luo Yichen had gotten some inspirations from the Ao Sword Skills in the Dawang Village and had become an inborn senior.

At night, Su Li quietly returned to the Su House. Fortunately, she did not meet any person working at night.

The opening affairs of the Baiwei Building and the Linli Building were in progress like a raging fire. Thanks to Su Qingtan, Su Li didn't need to help on both sides. She still commuted between the Su House and the National Academy every day.

Finally, half a month later, the Linli Building opened on July 11th, an auspicious day.
