Chapter 222 Kicking Over

“Ha-ha-ha-ha…”

They looked at each other for a moment. But it seemed that they looked at each other for a century. Wei Youran finally looked away and smiled genially.

Ma Jintian was relieved. If Wei Youran really cared about nothing and killed Ling Li, the consequences would be unthinkable. Fortunately, he did not misjudge Wei Youran’s thought.

At this time, Wei Youran suddenly walked towards Ling Li. He waved his folding fan and looked Ling Li up and down, walking around the wheelchair. He laughed and said, “It turns out that the third son of the King of North had useless legs. But… everyone in the Ling Family is so valiant. How can you, such a good-for-nothing, be one of them? I want to verify it!”

Wei Youran sneered and suddenly kicked the wheelchair fiercely!

“Brother Youran!”

Ma Jintian exclaimed. But he was happy in his heart. Finally there was someone who could teach Ling Li a lesson for him. The kick helped him vent his spleen on Ling Li.

Ling Li looked scared. He held the wheelchair tightly. However, Wei Youran was in the acquired eighth hurdle. He had great strength. He kicked Ling Li with the wheelchair downstairs at one blow. Ling Li was rolling to the auction platform in the middle of the room.

“Ah-ah-ah!”

Bang!!

The screams echoed in the auction house. The wheelchair knocked against the last step heavily. Ling Li was thrown out directly and fell on the hard-stone ground. His clothes were torn, and his skin was scratched. A sound of “boom” occurred behind him. It turned out that the wheelchair knocked on the stone wall on the auction platform and lost a wheel.

“Gasp…”

Ling Li moved his body in agony. His face contorted. Wei Youran kicked too fiercely. If his head knocked on the platform, he would die definitely since his external identity was a good-for-nothing.

He tried to support his upper body and sit up. However, since he was a good-for-nothing, his strength could not exceed half of a normal person’s. Besides, his lower body was sealed by himself and couldn’t put forth his strength. Therefore, he could not get up even if he exerted himself.

After attempting twice, Ling Li gave up and lay on his stomach. He was motionless like a dead dog.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha…”

Hearing the laughter of Ma Jintian and Wei Youran, Ling Li sighed. He thought, “Well… Wei Youran, if you could get out of Yunjing City alive, there was not necessary for me to be the Hierarch.”

But at this moment, Ling Li felt that the light in front of him was dim. Someone stopped in front of him. He could only see the person’s feet. It was not Ling Xian or Ling Qinglan.

He tried his best to look up. But suddenly, he was carried in that person’s arms.

Ling Li was stunned. Now he could finally turn his head. He saw a pair of cold and black eyes. It was her… Su Li.

“Princess, let me do it…”

Yun Yi couldn’t help but remind her. The Miss was distinguished. How could she be so close to such a playboy?

Su Li shook her head. She carried Ling Li in her arms and walked to the wheelchair. Then she put down him gently. Although the wheelchair lost a wheel, and the soft cushion in the wheelchair fall out, he could still sit in it.

Ling Li sat down. Before he came to his sense, he saw that Su Li took out a personal handkerchief and wiped the dirt and blood on his hands. Her movements were soft and proficient, as if she had repeated these movements ten thousand times. Even Ling Xian was not a patch on her.

He pretended to tense his face roguishly. He stared at Su Li’s drooping eyes, as if something came alive in his heart.

He could no longer cheat himself this time.

His hatred or the state power was less important than her, wasn’t it?

He had been the Hierarch of a great cult. He was always dictatorial and decisive. Why did he become timid and why was he swayed by considerations of gain and loss when he faced Su Li?!

Revenge and beauty!

He wanted both!

Su Li’s expression was serious and focused. In the previous life, most of the time, her disabled husband was quiet and gentle. But he was also depressed and mad more than once. He fell on the ground from a rough wooden chair, like a drowned mouse. Every time she would hold him like this and quietly wiped his wounds, regardless of reasons.

“Although I’m not your wife in this life, at least… let me wipe it again for you, Ling Li.” Su Li thought.

Suddenly, someone asked with bewilderment and interrupted their thoughts.

“Princess… Princess Li?”

Su Li stopped her movements and raised her head. She looked indifferent but also a bit of angry. When seeing Wei Youran walk closely to her, she was neither haughty nor humble. She said, “Second Prince of the Nanjiang Country, a gentleman will not do what you did. Even if Childe Ling of the Ling Family is ignorant, and you hate to see him, you should not bully him regardless of his life… It’s too excessive.”

Wei Youran was in a daze slightly. He thought of Su Li’s humble and gentle expression two days before. But today, she was dominant and indifferent. He was actually taught a lesson by a woman. The affection for Su Li in his heart faded. His eyebrows slightly drooped. A sense of pressure pressed on towards Su Li.

“You are only a princess. You even give orders to a prince of the neighboring country. How dare you?”

As soon as Yun Yi saw it, he stood in front of Su Li and waved his hand to scatter the sense of pressure. He looked coldly at Wei Youran, Wei Youran’s sister and Ma Jintian. He only knew that Su Li was his master. He didn’t care whether the opposition was a prince or an emperor.

When Wei Youran saw that there should be a servant of the inborn realm beside Su Li, his expression changed slightly, and he stopped putting pressure on Su Li. He glanced at Ma Jintian and snorted. Then he left with his sister.

Now he realized that he was treated as cannon fodder by Ma Jintian.

Ma Jintian smiled disapprovingly even if he and Wei Youran became enemies. His stratagem was above board. “Wei Youran was willing to be taken in. But he blamed me because he was taught a lesson by Su Li. He is really stingy.” Ma Jintian thought.

Su Li just became the princess and couldn’t wait to take the opportunity to show the royal power. She was just a common woman. He used to think highly of this woman. It was really…

Thinking of that, Ma Jintian perfunctorily held a fist salute and asked for leave. And then he left with a smile. Time was nearly up. He didn’t want to be watched for fun by others.

“Let’s go, too.”

Su Li took a deep breath and was about to leave with Yun Yi.

Ling Li instantly came to his sense. He was about to stop her.

But at this moment, Ling Xian ran up to him with a flustered look. Tears streamed down her exquisite face. She looked anxious and self-condemned. She said, “Master, I am late!”

Su Li glanced at Ling Xian and then left without hesitation. But Ling Li was still staring at her back.

Ling Xian quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped Ling Li’s wounds. But when she saw Ling Li holding a handkerchief tightly in his hands, her expression suddenly changed. Whose was it?

It was hers!

Ling Xian raised her head suddenly and saw Su Li’s receding figure. A sense of hatred flashed through her eyes.

Damn you, Su Li!

Arriving at the VIP room on the third floor, Su Li looked up at the nameplate of the Lord Rui’s Mansion. She slightly narrowed her eyes and then walked in. The auction house was the property of the Dongfang Family. Therefore, the room for Dongfang Rui was very luxurious. All furniture and ornaments were worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Under the entire transparent wall polished with glass, there were two benches with hides spread on them. Su Li sat down. It was soft. The servants of the Lord Rui’s Mansion lined up behind her. If Su Li gave an order, they would do it immediately.

“Get out except Yun Yi.”

Su Li said. Everyone respectfully answered yes and left quietly. Yun Yi looked at Su Li’s perfect profile. A sense of tenderness flashed through his drooping eyes.

It was a good thing that the master could trust him and get close to him.

There were melons and other fruits offered by mini-states on the table. Su Li picked one up and tasted it. Then she put it down and picked up the list of auctioned items beside the fruit plate. She took in the auction order of everything in a glance.

Su Li glanced down the bottom of the list and saw the five words “Full Moon and Heart Strings” with an indifferent expression. After glancing at other auctioned items, she put the list down gently. She looked serious and was thinking of something.

Dongfang Rui was the boss of the Auction Fair. Naturally he could not participate in it. However, her surname was still Su, so, she could exploit an advantage to participate in the Auction Fair. Dongfang Rui had been dormant over the years. Relying on the auction house and the winery industry, he had amassed a fortune. Nowadays, he handed all the fortune over to her and let her squander.

However, even if the money could buy the Full Moon and Heart Strings, she would never do it. Whoever bought the Full Moon and Heart Strings today would be the target of people. Anyone who wanted to buy it should think over whether he could withstand people’s attacks or not.

The Linli Building was small and could not be exposed in public. Besides, the identity of being a member of the Lord Rui’s Mansion was sensitive. Therefore, she could not get it by virtue of those two forces. However, she still believed that the Full Moon and Heart Strings would be in her bag.

Su Li’s eyes brightened.

The forces in Yunjing City just began to be in chaos, and she could take advantage of that.

…

In the VIP room of the Ling Family, Ling Li took Ling Xian’s handkerchief to wipe off the blood on his arms. Su Li’s handkerchief was put away by him. He was unwilling to make it dirty. Ling Qinglan looked sullen. Ma Jintian and Wei Youran should dare to move openly at the auction house. They were audacious in the extreme!

“How about the investigation of the forces arrangement of the Nanjiang Country?”

Ling Li squinted at guests around the world who were entering in succession from the glass wall. Ling Xian nodded worriedly. She hesitated for a moment and said, “But, if we fight with them, our force will be exposed to the royal family. Master…”

Ling Li waved his hand to interrupt Ling Xian. He chuckled in a low voice and said, “How can I give Dongfang Xiao the chance? We may as well learn from Mr. Li this time. The Lijue Pill of the Lianshi Cult is too annoying.”

Ling Qinglan’s eyes brightened up. He understood the meaning of Ling Li’s words. He smiled and said, “I’m going to arrange it.”

Ling Li nodded slightly but then he shook his head and said, “It is not urgent. You can do it after the Auction Fair. The first priority is to get the Full Moon and Heart Strings. Up to now, your life is borrowed.”

Hearing that, Ling Qinglan sat down composedly.

Ling Li was right. He would get even with the Lianshi Cult. But it was more important for him to repay Su Li’s and Mr. Li’s gratitude. Even if people all over the world coveted the Full Moon and Heart Strings, he would try his best to carry off it!

Ling Xian stood around them. Her eyes slightly shined. She whispered, “We have arranged enough people early. No matter who finally bought the medicine named Full Moon and Heart Strings, it will fall into our hands through the channels of the auction house.”

Ling Qinglan shook his head and said, “Don’t underestimate people all over the world. There are too many forces involved in this time.”

Although the Hehuan Sect and the Lianshi Cult were fooled by Mr. Li before, those were the ninth-grade sects, which were in the same level as the Yinmo Cult after all. If they underestimated those people, they would suffer losses.

“Ask Ling Mo to be careful.”

Ling Li said with gloomy eyes. Then, the bell rang heavily in the auction house.

Bong! Bong! Bong!

Time was up. The Auction Fair started!
