Chapter 209
Apology
“So what?”
Su Li tilted her head, and her dark eyes met Wu Lirong’s eyes. Su Li seemed to see fire burning in these eyes, which was about to burn her entirely.
“Hahahaha…”
Wu Lirong suddenly laughed frantically, “Little bitch, are you angry? I heard that you’ve had a miserable childhood. You never know what family affection is. You were adopted by a vicious woman, and were beaten all day long.”
The smile on Su Li’s face slowly melted. She stood up without pinching Wu Lirong’s fingers, and allowed her to continue to speak. “You are miserable. So is your father. I tortured your mother to death. She didn’t say anything about you till death. I hated it, so, I cut open the belly of your mother and threw her internal organs away. Later, the loyal leader next to your father picked them up along the path and put them together to get a whole body.”
“You know what? Your father was crazy once. That day when he saw your mother’s body he was crazy. If Wu Bin didn’t persuade him to bury Su Yun and saved your father from the madness, your father would be now a complete lunatic, hahahaha…”
“I hate it! Why didn’t I find out earlier that you are a bitch left by Su Yun. Dongfang Rui managed to find you in the end. I hate it!!”
Wu Lirong screamed frantically. Her hair spread, which made her look like a ghost.
Su Li was emotionless and stomped Wu Lirong on her toes of the right foot. A hoarse scream rang again. Su Li ordered with a freezing voice, “Apologize.”
“Why?”
Crack!
All the toes of her left foot were broken. Wu Lirong was frothing at the mouth in pain and rolling his eyes, but she could still clearly hear the voice.
“Apologize to my mother, now, immediately.”
“Pooh!”
Wu Lirong smiled sullenly and spit at Su Li’s face. “You little bitch. Even if you crush all my toes, I won’t do any apology. It will never happen in my life.”
“Really?”
Su Li grabbed Wu Lirong’s right hand with one hand, shattering the entire palm just like crushing a chicken paw. More screams echoed in the adytum, but Wu Lirong still did not apologize.
Soon, Wu Lirong’s limbs hung softly. She bowed her head and gasped. No apology was heard eventually.
“Nice.”
Su Li wiped the blood on her face and smiled brightly. “You are a woman of perseverance, Mrs. Wu. However, if you can hold on, it is just what I want… I haven’t played enough yet.”
Wu Lirong looked up in horror with her pupils tightened. Her limbs were all broken… What else could Su Li do?
Next, Wu Lirong had seen something most memorable in her life.
Su Li raised her palm and a thick green flash appeared which was automatically dispersed into four parts and flew into the limbs of Wu Lirong. An itching feel came from Wu’s limbs which healed just in a few breaths.
It meant that she would go through the torture performed earlier again.
Maybe there would be a third time, a fourth time… As long as she didn’t give in, there would be a hundred times!
Could she make it in the end?
Wu Lirong looked pale with her lips trembled. “Are you… a human being or a ghost?”
Su Li answered by crushing the right thumb of her.
Ah ah ah ah ah!
Screams rang again in the adytum, and continued… until the next morning.
Fang Yuan stood in front of the door of the adytum and listened. He never dared to open the door to have a look. Even behind the door, he could feel the darkness inside Su Li’s heart. It would do him no good for opening the door.
In the adytum, Su Li panted slightly. She was pushing her limits in the wood starburst, but obviously, it was Wu Lirong who couldn’t hold it first.
“Let me die, please, Su Li. I am wrong… I want to apologize to your mother…”
Wu Lirong raised her head and begged weakly. She had given up already after her limbs were broken so many times.
Taking a deep breath, Su Li stood up, with a reverent light on his face. Her voice was still clear, “Just follow me. I, Wu Lirong.”
“I, Wu Lirong…”
“deserve no mercy for killing Su Yun.”
“deserve no mercy for killing Su Yun.”
“I’d like to repay the debt with my death today!”
“I’d like…” Wu Lirong’s eyes suddenly changed, and she stopped. After stomping on the kneecap of Wu, Su Li said, “Speak or we will resume the previous game.”
Wu Lirong shuddered violently, and said, “I’d like to repay the debt with my death today!”
“After death, I am willing to go to hell and suffer from 16 cruel tortures for hiding away for 16 years.”
“If there is an afterlife, I would be chickens and ducks in Su Yun’s mouth and cattle and horses ridden by Su Yun. And I would be a beast for next life and afterwards.”
Wu Lirong stopped. Su Li crushed the arm bone of Wu’s right arm with a palm, “Speak. Continue to speak. Don’t miss any word.”
“Ok. I, Wu Lirong, deserve no mercy for killing Su Yun.”
“I, Wu Lirong… killing Su Yun.”
“I, Wu Lirong…”
When Li Lirong repeated the seventh time, Su Li crushed her throat with one hand and finally let her die.
The bloody smell was thick in the adytum. Su Li took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “Mother, have you heard it? Wu Lirong has apologized to you and she will seek redemption for thousands of generations. I promise that my father will join you after he leads a happy life.”
Nothing but Su Li’s voice echoed across the silent stone room.
…
In the early morning of the second day, Su Li appeared in the Lord Rui’s Mansion. Dongfang Rui was overwhelmed by anxiety for the past two days. When he heard the return of Su Li, he immediately rushed to meet her.
“Where have you been?”
Su Li’s clothes were neat and tidy and she resumed her innocent smile. She did not seem to be in danger. Dongfang Rui was relieved and couldn’t help rushing to hug her tightly, saying, “I thought you’ve left me just like your mother did…”
Su Li patted Dongfang Rui’s back gently and laughed softly. “No way, dad… I will take good care of you and not let my mother worry.”
Dongfang Rui froze immediately.
Su Li… actually called him dad?
Dongfang Rui broke away from her arms violently, holding Su Li’s shoulders and looking at her in doubt.
Su Li couldn’t help laughing. After being deceived so many times, Dongfang Rui also learned to think and wondered if she was a fake.
“I am Su Li, not anyone else.”
Su Li gently pushed away Dongfang Rui. “Although I acknowledged your identity, I will not become Dongfang Li. My mother did not join the Dongfang Family and I would not join neither. If you can accept it, come to see me at the Affiliated School of the National Academy.”
Su Li walked past Dongfang Rui who was still in a daze, and slowly went away. Wu Bin could do nothing but saw her leaving.
Before Su Li leaving far away, Dongfang Rui came to reason. He quickly turned around and chased after Su Li. “Li, wait. Why not take the carriage…”
Su Li stopped, looked back and smiled. At that moment, tears welled up in Dongfang Rui’s eyes.
His heart was completely melted at this moment.
…
There was no feast in the Lord Rui’s Mansion. Lord Rui became a regular at the National Academy and he told everyone that Su Li had recognized him as her father. He was behaving like a child showing off his toys. Wu Bin, though dumbfounded, was also relieved by this.
Wu Lirong died, and Su Li recognized the Master as her father.
His Master who was leading a miserable life for 16 years finally had a pretty good ending.
Of course, they didn’t know that the real Wu Lirong had apologized and gone to hell after being tortured by Su Li for a whole day and night.
Su Yue, who was still busy at the Zhouyue Winery, heard the guests at the table talking about the recent situation of Su Li. She first looked slightly astonished, then her eyes softened. She did not expect that Su Li would forgive Dongfang Rui so easily. Did it also mean that she could…
After seeing the reaction of his wife, Xuan Jingzhou couldn’t help sighing softly. The twist and turn had to be undone, but Su Li was never a simple girl…
He did not talk to Su Yue about the incident of the Linli Building. Su Yue was suffering from her guilt. He would be responsible for the investigation himself.
Su Li was studying the prescription for Wen Tingshan in her room. She had met a senior of the longevity realm for the first time. While treating his wounds, she naturally wanted to test all aspects of the physical function of a practitioner of the longevity realm.
Suddenly, Mammy Li’s voice rang outside the door. “Miss, the Lord is here.”
“I am coming.”
Su Li put down the prescription and got up to reach the front hall. Mammy Li followed up happily. She was so happy to see that Su Li finally recognized Lord Rui… Only she knew what Su Li had been through all these years. Therefore, she knew that it was admirable that Su Li could let the bygones be bygones.
In the front hall, Dongfang Rui was looking around at the empty school. There were many booklets that Su Li had reviewed on the stand. He picked up one and looked at it carefully. What beautiful handwritings.
“Dad, why are you here again? You have come here more frequent than the playboys.”
Hearing Su Li’s tease, Dongfang Rui looked up and laughed loudly. “Why can’t I see my daughter? If you are willing to live in the Mansion, there will not be so much trouble for me.”
Su Li shook her head slightly. “The Affiliated School of the National Academy was entrusted to me by my master, and it also symbolizes the efforts of my senior fellow apprentice. I have decided on this matter, dad. No more persuasion.”
Dongfang Rui shook his head and sighed. “You share the same temperament with your mother. Since I can’t change your mind, I can only bring you the people.”
“What people?”
Su Li frowned and was guessing.
“People of the Yunge Sect.”
Dongfang Rui smiled and said, “After today, the Yunge Sect will be renamed Lige Sect. They were originally prepared for you and now of course they should be handed over to you.”
Su Li felt something and looked over the door. She saw the acquaintances slowly come over. They had repeatedly fought against her in the previous life. When they approached, they half knelt and greeted, “Miss!”
Five women and five men in their early twenties were seniors of inborn three hurdle.
The opponents of previous life became the subordinates of this life. How mysterious it was. Su Li glanced over these young faces and her eyes narrowed, “Get up.”
In the previous life, she fought against them for the first time. She killed three after being sieged by ten. She did not resent the ten people. It was Su Zipei who made them enemies. The whole thing was nothing but a tragedy.
“Dad, you don’t have to change the name.” Su Li smiled, “I like the name Yunge Sect.”
Dongfang Rui smiled and nodded, “Then Yunge Sect it is. Whatever you say.”
The ten people felt settled after hearing what their master was saying. Yunge Sect was their belief. If it was renamed, they would be slightly uncomfortable in their hearts. It would be better for Su Li not to change the name.
“It seems that the future master is easy to get along with just as the rumor goes…”
With the same thoughts in their minds, they smiled in unison.
