Chapter 219 Sticking Up For Soone
Uncle Li was sitting in the middle of the hall in Li Manor, sipping his tea, as if awaiting for sothing. A while later, a man clad in black ca in, and dropped down to one knee in front of Uncle Li. He said, “Sir, the carriage is ready.”
Upon hearing this, Green Bead and Madam Xie began to struggle and groan, which indicated their hopelessness.
Uncle Li glanced at them, his gaze as if staring at a pile of rotting at. He said, “Are all of the Li family mbers captured?”
The man in black hesitated, and then said, “There is one more…”
“Then what are you waiting for? Capture them all!”
The man in black spoke softly, “Earlier there was soone who crept in through the wall, but he ran off after peering in.”
Uncle Li glared at him coldly, “What the heck are you guys doing? Are the Zhan family’s Green Hornets idiots?”
The Green Hornets, the Zhan family’s ticulous personnel scattered across the globe, who specialise in espionage, stalking, obtaining intelligence, and any other secret tasks.
Although the Zhan family is large and successful, Daqi is just too vast. The Zhan family rigorously trained roughly three to four thousand Green Hornets, and scattered them across the land. It was like throwing noodles into a bowl of hot soup, it was practically invisible and insufficient.
These Green Hornet spies under Uncle Li’s command were manpower deployed into the major town of Tongan City, six hundred miles away.
Cheng’an City? The Zhan family’s influence did not stretch that far…
Although Cheng’an City is one of the important cities of the north, this statent refers to Daqi’s expansion up north, and refers to its status as a military site.
But as things beca peaceful, Cheng’an City inevitably beca awkward. Compared to its southern counterparts who had more economic activity, Cheng’an City lost its importance.
The Green Hornet lowered his head after the scolding. “By the ti we noticed, he already escaped. Furthermore, he’s a cultivator and probably a local. He’s familiar with the place, so we lost him.”
He then raised his head to face Uncle Li. “Sir, shall we take them away quickly?”
Madam Xie heard their conversation clearly, and a desire to escape rose in her heart.
She did not say anything, but she knew that she could no longer provoke the enemy’s patience with them. They must accumulate strength and strike at the right ti.
Madam Xie gripped Green Bead’s hand, and pinched her hard, then shook it slightly. Green Bead noticed, as quickly shut her mouth although she had nearly scread.
They’re the backbone of the Li family. If they maintain their composure, the others will follow suit.
Uncle Li glanced at them, and chuckled. He looked at the Green Hornet and said, “No need, soone will co, then we’ll wrap things up.”
The Green Hornet was surprised. “Soone’s coming?”
Uncle Li looked outside, and then smirked. “They’re already here.”
The Green Hornet turned to see that the doors to the Manor were pushed open. Two ladies and a boy walked in. The foremost lady wore a white flowing skirt, and looked as if she was gliding in. Her face was stunning, with make-up done. Her normally calm, serene face revealed a little warmth.
The girl behind had a pair of crystal-like eyes, and she wore an erald green handmaiden dress. She held a guqin in her arms. Although her attire indicated that she’s a handmaiden, her eyes showed spirit and energy, not at all like a servant’s.
Behind them, was a gorgeous-looking boy clad in a Spiritual Mountain Sect’s cultivator uniform. Uncle Li recognized and then laughed out loud, “So it’s you! What a coincidence!”
Xiaobao had called for reinforcents. He stood behind Liu Sui, like a fox riding on the tiger’s influence, he commanded, “Release my family!”
Green Bead recognized Xiaobao’s voice. She was overjoyed and cried out.
Uncle Li shifted his gaze to Liu Sui. He wasn’t certain of the reason behind her presence. He inquired warily, “Lady Sui, what brings you here?”
Liu Sui did not change her attire before coming, hence her simple dress. Apart from the make-up on her face, everything else about her appearance was simple and modest. No bright colours or patterns, nothing which indicated the usual fabulousness of an oiran, nor the legendary presence of a cultivator.
She made her way towards the middle of the hall and stood next to the Green Hornet. Ignoring him, she sat down on a chair and smiled. “I heard that soone was troubling the Li family, so I ca to take a look.”
Liu Sui spoke casually, like a neighbour coming for a visit.
Uncle Li frowned and said, “The Zhan family has nothing to do with the Phoenix Hibiscus Court. I advise you to leave while you still can, and not be an enemy of the Zhan family! This is the Zhan family’s token, have a look!” Uncle Li took out the family token, and threw it to Liu Sui.
He had used so strength with the throw, and it flew towards her at blinding speeds. If it connected with her, it would surely damage her beautiful face.
But Liu Sui only smiled and flicked her sleeve gently, and a gust of wind sent the token hurtling back to its sender.
The speed at which the token flew back tripled, which shocked Uncle Li. He imdiately released Flowing Sand Armour, gathering sand in front of him as a shield. The token connected with the shield and smashing sound could be heard. Several cracks appeared on the sand armour.
Uncle Li’s hands oozed fresh blood, and the hand that gripped the token couldn’t stop trembling.
Liu Sui smiled. “I don’t need to see the token. Furthermore, you’re right about how the Zhan family have nothing against the Phoenix Hibiscus Court. But whatever happens to the Li family concerns .”
Uncle Li glared at her. “Oh, you wanna defend the Li family?”
“Not really, just returning a favour. I wonder if the Zhan family would be willing to give a girl like so face?”
“Is this sothing about the Phoenix Hibiscus Court?”
“I’ve said it before, it’s a personal matter, nothing to do with the court.”
Uncle Li inhaled deeply. “I understand. If you insist, then you’ll have to bear the consequences!” Suddenly, Green Hornets clad in black appeared in the hall, surrounding them tightly.
Liu Sui acted as if she hadn’t noticed the Green Hornets. She nodded at Little Bell, and took the guqin from her arms. She sat cross-legged with the guqin laid out in front of her. She smiled and said, “Everyone is all about fighting and killing, let’s not hurt the harmony. Allow to play a song, if you think it’s nice, let them go. Sounds good?”
Uncle Li knew that she had agreed to a fight. If she fought with the guqin, it ant that it possessed terrifying magic.
But he possessed great experience in fighting, he had seen all sorts of fighting styles. Furthermore, there were innocent people in the hall, surely Liu Sui wouldn’t use so technique that would harm them too. Of course she would play so sort of psychedelic tune.
And Uncle Li’s own strength was psychedelic techniques!
Uncle Li smiled, and said confidently, “Bring it on!”
Liu Sui replied, “You can’t take back what you say!”
“Alright, let’s listen to the great Liu Sui’s song!”
