Chapter 242 - Cheeky Hierarch Ling
Even Ling Mo who seldom showed his emotions felt angry.
Although Master had told him this situation last night, it... was so exaggerated.
“He is coming.”
Someone saw Ling Li and roared to the crowd. Many people felt frightened immediately, and then they made way for him unconsciously.
But there were still many young talents who never knew the means of Ling Li. They stood in front of the door with an aggressive expression.
All of them received good education and even went straight to the National Academy. So there were a lot of poor kids touting them.
These men read books of sages and men of virtue, so they looked down upon playboys.
Ling Li couldn’t help releasing his psychic awareness to scan the whole school of the National Academy. He saw that Su Li sat on her seat, and that she was absorbed in reading. It seemed that she knew nothing about what happened outside.
This girl had inborn cultivation and got psychic awareness. How couldn’t she know what was going on outside?
Ling Li had a scornful expression. This was just a small difficulty. It couldn’t stop him.
“Get in. If you prevent me, I will throw you to the street.”
Ling Mo heard the gnashing sound. The Leader of the Xuelou Cult who had great power nodded.
“Yes, Master!”
He pushed his wheelchair firmly to the Affiliated School of the National Academy. After a few steps, a young fair man stood in front of him. He pretended to be personable and said,
“You are Third Master Ling. I heard your name before. Princess Li is dignified. You can’t...”
In the middle of a sentence, this elegant young man was carried and thrown to the street by Ling Mo with one hand. All the people were frightened.
That was the third gifted scholar in the Affiliated School of the National Academy. He might become the prime minister!
Third Master Ling came!
Lawless!
“Ling Li, you are way out of line. Do you really think that we don’t dare to beat you?!”
A strong man stepped in front of the wheelchair. Based on his shape, it could be known that he was the student of the College of Martial Arts.
“Oh, it’s Chen Kuan. He is the first genius in the College of Martial Arts who reaches the acquired ninth hurdle! He comes to help Princess Li. He must win this time.”
Someone in the crowd said happily. As soon as the voice faded, Chen Kuan was thrown to the street just as the former elegant young man.
Most people were shocked instantly. Some playboys who had seen this scene before showed mockery to them.
“They didn’t find out how powerful Ling Li’s subordinates are and dared to challenge him recklessly. How stupid they are!”
“I didn’t expect that people who are in the National Academy are so foolish.”
Playboys and young talents stood oppositely. At the moment, all the playboys jeered at young talents, and the young talents glared at them with burning eyes.
These masters from big families weren’t scared away. They glared at the young talents without a sign of weakness and smiled,
“Seeing that you are so ignorant, I warn you that the servant of Third Master Ling is awesome.”
“I heard that he is a genius in practice. He once was a little beggar who was almost frozen to death. Ling Li saved him by chance. So, they grew up together, and since then, he has been only faithful to Third Master Ling.”
“The National Academy contacted with Ling Mo in secret and promised to give him a lot of benefits. He was even invited to be the chief apprentice of the National Academy. But he refused.”
“He is the closest servant of Third Master Ling. The Ling Family treats him very well. With rich resources accumulated, his cultivation must break through the inborn hurdle. Chen Kuan can’t defeat him.”
“Ha-ha, I am very happy to see that these arrogant people are defeated.”
“Chen Kuan is useless. He couldn’t defeat a servant.”
Young talents felt shameful. “When Ling Mo was young... It was a long time ago. Since they never contacted with Ling Li, how could they know that?”
But now, the two geniuses who represented the College of Literature and the College of Martial Arts lay on the ground. They didn’t dare to say something. They were afraid of annoying Ling Li and being beaten.
Then no one dared to prevent Ling Li. They followed him step by step and wanted to see the fun. Nothing could drive them away.
The wheelchair creaked.
When Ling Li just stepped into the Affiliated School of the National Academy and had no time to see Su Li, a sarcastic voice came,
“Third Master Ling, you are so awe-inspiring...”
Ling Li was a little bit angry, but in a while, he recovered himself. He said cheekily, “You flatter me, Lecturer Su. Can we start our lessons?”
Then the crowd following him for fun were shocked instantly.
Even an idiot could realize that Su Li was teasing him. They thought that Ling Li could be angry, but he accepted the praise unexpectedly?
Was this still the hot-tempered Third Master Ling who was easily doing something egoistically?
And... he was so cheeky!
All the playboys admired him. They thought that Ling Li was skilled in pursuing girls. He was really the first playboy in Yunjing City.
Su Li was a little bit angry. She kept silent and didn’t know how to answer. In just one day, he became cheekier. What’s wrong with him?
“Class begins!”
She glared at him. Then she took out a book and didn’t look at him.
Of course, she had never preparing lessons. Ling Li was as knowledgeable as her. She would never waste her time for these playboys and young talents in Yunjing City. She taught astronomy and geography, poetry and painting or anecdotes about martial arts circle recorded in ancient books.
But even so, it also made everyone present infatuated. All doubts about Su Li’s title of the “First Talented Woman in Yunjing City” were dispelled.
With her knowledge accumulated in previous life and continuous improvements in this life, Su Li’s knowledge was impressive.
Even Ling Li was shocked by Su Li’s knowledge. He had lived in this world for seventeen years and had read numerous ancient books. After taking charge of the Yinmo Cult, he had a broader vision. However, some contents mentioned by Su Li were unknown to him.
She couldn’t have such a large amount of knowledge in the Qinghe Province and the National Book Tower. Though she was also taught by Qi Xianqing, it didn’t make sense.
He had checked the background of Su Li. She just learnt to read in recent two years.
Suddenly Ling Li remembered the beautiful crying face under the flower lamp in Dasu Town two years ago and the table of local dishes in the courtyard of Dasu Town. He stared at Su Li, who was leisurely speaking, and gradually looked confused and lost.
Su Li, what was the secret about you?
“At that time, you were going to die because of serious injuries, but you tried your best to save me. You even gave me your first kiss to detoxify me. You spent all your money in adding a life-saving token to me... You obviously loved me!”
“But when I fall in love with you, you avoid me as if I am a snake or a scorpion!”
Why?!
This question was like a circle, constantly wandering in Ling Li’s mind. But he couldn’t get the answer.
...
Time passed by quickly, and as night fell, Ling Li’s carriage gradually disappeared in Wu Bin’s watchful sight.
Young talents and playboys also went back, but they couldn’t recover for a long time. They didn’t expect that Su Li’s lessons would be so... interesting!
At this moment, everyone would like to come to the Affiliated School of the National Academy for Su Li’s lessons even if Ling Li didn’t show. Su Li’s lesson was way more interesting than pedantic scholars in the National Academy!
“It’s said that the Beggars’ Chicken of the Baiwei Building was made by Princess Li. I didn’t care about it, but I’m going to have a taste today!”
“Let’s go!”
“Unfortunately, I heard that the adoptive father and mother of Princess Li are wicked. The princess is so kind. She hasn’t taken back the Baiwei Building yet. She may not feel good to see the money in her purse flowing into the Su Family!”
“I heard that when Princess Li was in the Su Family, First Master Su doted on her very much. Su Qingtan works in the Supreme Judiciary. Now he goes on a long journey for business. I think Princess Li must make a decision after her brother comes back.”
“Hey, you’re well informed. Do you like the princess too?”
The person who was asked was terrified hearing the words. He looked around in horror. When he found Ling Li was not there, he felt relieved immediately. He said with fear,
“I dare not. Even if the princess doesn’t belong to Master Ling, I couldn’t win her heart considering my origin. As long as I can quietly see that the princess is happy, I will be satisfied.”
This person did not know that Ling Li and Su Li heard all.
“Someone’s consciousness is worse than this childe’s.”
Su Li spoke casually. It made Ling Li, who had kept a smile, had a long face at once. With his cultivation, he could stay. Although the cultivation of Wu Bin was not too bad, it’s still not as good as that of Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult.
Seeing that Su Li didn’t call someone, he was a little happy. Unexpectedly, Su Li taunted him immediately!
“It proves my mother’s words. To pursue a girl, one should be cheeky. I finally know the feeling of showing excessive passion to someone cold.”
“What are you doing here? If you can’t tell me why, I will call Butler Wu.”
Su Li leaned against the window and looked at Ling Li for an answer, but she was slightly alienated.
When something was said often, people would be used to hearing it.
Su Li was used to being helplessness, and Ling Li was quickly used to being cheeky. He completely ignored the estrangement of the former and magically took out a mask and handed it to her.
“This is for you!”
Su Li stared at Ling Li’s mask, which was made of the same jade-bone material. However, the pattern of the mask was quite different from that of Ling Li, but it had the same charm.
