Chapter 97 Immortal Master
Although cold wind whistled outside, the warm room was as warm as the spring because of the fire of the stove.
Yan Hongxiu pushed the door open and rushed in with her maid Huan. When she ca in, her shivering body because of the cold weather instantly stretched. She glanced at Su Li who was sitting beside the teacher’s desk and snorted while returning to her seat.
The other seats were still unoccupied. Yan Hongxiu was the first to co.
The remaining four people got into the warm room before long. Jin Ruolan was still the last one, but she arrived on ti in any case.
The other people imdiately looked at Jin Ruolan askance when she appeared. There was a hint of coldness in Yan Hongxiu’s eyes. The rumors about the Jin Family were widely spread. They had never thought Jin Ruolan dared to attend class in such a sensitive period.
Jin Ruolan felt bitter. She didn’t want to have class at all, but she had no choice but co when she thought of Su Li’s thods last ti. Even though her family had ordered her not to go out arbitrarily, she sneaked away from the back door to attend the class.
“Since all people are here, let’s begin the class.” Su Li, who was seating and taking a nap beside the teacher’s desk, lightly said, “Today we...”
Su Li was very familiar with the details of the Dahan embroidery skills. Gong Min and other people were intoxicated by them, but Yan Hongxiu who had never shown any interest in embroidery started to be absent-minded.
“Su Li may not know what a ss the world outside the school has been. She cos from a humble family, but she can depend on her professional skills to live a comfortable life in the school. She is happy anyway.”
Yan Hongxiu thought about it and looked helpless, “Since that old guy of the Jin Family beca the supervisor of officials, the situation of our family had been worse and worse every year. If only I could share daddy’s cares and burdens.”
“The Third Brother said that the archery master is about to co. I have never seen a master with such airs and graces, who hasn’t showed for several days. I want to know whether the master has three heads and six arms or whether he is the Immortal. The Third Brother praised the master so highly unexpectedly...”
Suddenly, Su Li’s severe voice rang in her ears.
“Yan Hongxiu, what did I just say? Repeat it.”
Yan Hongxiu was dumbfounded. She saw that the straight-faced Su Li and Gong Min and other people were all looking at her, which made her instantly flush.
“I...”
“Stand aside to listen. Next ti, go out!”
Su Li said lightly, but Yan Hongxiu couldn’t help but shiver when she saw the scene of ice and snow outside the room. She didn’t dare to be absent-minded anymore.
After class, Su Li gave the embroidery howork and imdiately turned away.
Yan Hongxiu couldn’t help but directly sit down when she saw Su Li leaving. She rubbed her painful legs and thought with tears rolling in her eyes, “Su Li! Su Li! How dare you to treat like this...”
“Miss, are you all right?”
Huan ran to Yan Hongxiu and lifted her up. The forr couldn’t help waving fists and said angrily, “Su Li is over the line too much! Miss, let’s find soone to beat her.”
Yan Hongxiu instantly turned tears into smiles. She couldn’t help but touch Huan’s nose and said, “I can’t do that! I will beco a female general in the future, so I must be impartial. It is fair enough that I should be punished because of distraction in the class. How can we pick on Su Li?”
Huan looked at Yan Hongxiu in astonishnt as if she hadn’t known the person in front of her.
The miss had never talked in this way. Can the temperant of the miss beco so good after the class in a few days?
Su Li stayed at the library after finishing the class for half of the day. She went back to the courtyard late in the evening. She beca “Mr. Li” after finishing the dinner and slowly went to the martial arts field of the girls’ school in the night.
At this mont, Yan Hongxiu in thin martial arts costu was standing and trembling in the cold wind. She bitterly stared at Yan Ziye and said in discontinuous words because of the cold weather, “Third... Brother! Will the master you ntioned co? It is... is almost midnight! Do you want to freeze Xiu to death?!”
Yan Ziye’s face was also pale with cold, but he dared not say that it was midnight that he and Ms. Li had agreed upon. Because he couldn’t hold back his respect for an inborn master, he ca a little... a little earlier.
Suddenly, Yan Hongxiu saw a figure in white cloth appeared behind Yan Ziye’s back. She was so scared that she nearly scread out and startled people of the school. Fortunately, Yan Ziye had tily covered her mouth.
“Third Childe, is she your sister Yan Hongxiu? She is indeed very beautiful.” Mr. Li’s voice rang in Yan Ziye’s ears. The voice was so strange that it was hard to know his gender.
But Yan Ziye felt the voice was pleasant after he had heard it for a long ti. Maybe the excellence of the inborn master had already deified the person in front of him.
Yan Hongxiu was full of doubts. She finally knew that the unexpected effeminate and stealthy man wearing a bamboo hat was the archery master that the Third Brother had found for her. She couldn’t help but point at Su Li and said angrily,
“Third Brother, who is he? He is a stealthily evildoer at first glance. Look at the master you have found for .”
Yan Ziye was so scared that he was in a cold sweat on his head. He couldn’t help but scold, “Shut up! You should respect your master!”
Yan Hongxiu had never seen that the Third Brother was so angry. Her eyes instantly reddened and she said, “Third Brother, why are you shouting at ...”
Yan Ziye finally found out what he had done when he cald down. He secretly scolded himself for being foolish, but he didn’t know how to comfort and explain to her for the ti being.
At this ti, Su Li chuckled and said, “Never mind, Third Childe Yan. Ignorance can be forgiven. Your sister just makes a careless mistake. There is no need to get angry.”
“I am brusque.”
Yan Ziye blushed with sha. He thought that the tolerance of an inborn master was indeed far better than that of the common.
Yan Hongxiu was strong more or less. She didn’t cry out loud but lifted down the bow from her back and gave it to Su Li with so difficulty. Then she said, “Since you are the archery master that the Third Brother recomnded, then show sothing good! If not... No matter who you are, you will never be my master.”
“Fourth Sister!”
Yan Ziye was about to say sothing, but it turned into a sigh in the end. He was afraid that the Fourth Sister wouldn’t understand the excellence even if he had told her that Ms. Li was an inborn master. For the Yan Family, the wonfolk’s knowledge about the martial arts circle was far less than nfolk’s...
“Is this the bow that your father gave to you?”
Su Li fetched the bow with one hand and carefully watched it. Her eyes seed to suddenly brighten up and she exclaid in a low voice, “It is indeed a psychic bow... Satrap Yan must dote on you to the extent that he gives you a psychic bow.”
Yan Hongxiu’s face beca slightly reddish after hearing the words. She turned her head and humd. “I will not be happy even though you praise .” she thought.
But Yan Ziye slightly sighed. He thought that their father was constraining the Fourth Sister to do things that were beyond her power. Yan Hongxiu couldn’t open the bow in her life if she couldn’t make a breakthrough and reach the inborn realm, not to ntion three years.
This year was the last year. The Fourth Sister would have to stay at ho and wait for a man to marry her after this year.
I would never allow the Fourth Sister to beco a sacrifice of the family.
Yan Ziye’s eyes beca cold. He held the fist said to Su Li, “Mr. Li, I will leave my sister to your hand. She has only one year left. Although the request went too far... I hope you can help us so that my sister could fulfill her agreent with our father by then!”
“Brother, what are you doing?!”
Yan Hongxiu felt very angry when she saw her brother behave in this way. She curled her lips and said angrily, “Isn’t it a simple bow? I certainly can open it in one year!”
Yan Ziye shook his head and stared at Su Li.
Su Li moved her bamboo hat. It seed that she was considering the possibility of the proposal. Before long, she shook her head and said, “Third Childe Yan, you don’t need to do this.”
Yan Ziye’s body swayed and he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Ms. Li wouldn’t promise him as expected... The martial arts circle had always maintained mutual noninterference with the imperial court. His request went too far.
“Although the Linli Building isn’t a big winery, we always keep our promise. Since we have made a deal with you, we certainly could fulfill it. The only possibility that we can’t fulfill the promise is that the Linli Building no longer exists. Are you satisfied with that?”
Yan Ziye was stunned on the spot when he heard the words. Did Ms. Li know what she had said? Sohow, he felt that it was an unrealistic lie.
“The Linli Building?” Yan Hongxiu heard the key words and stared at Su Li with shining eyes and said, “You are the boss of the Linli Building, the Mr. Li?”
Su Li slightly nodded and suddenly stretched out her hand backwards in the air!
“Whoosh!”
Yan Hongxiu saw an arrow automatically fall from the arrow holder to the recomnded master’s hand when she was astonishnt. The recomnded master said, “Miss Hongxiu, there isn’t much ti left for us. I will show you how to use this bow tonight!”
Su Li took a deep breath slowly. Then she placed the arrow and slowly opened the slivery bow without any stagnation.
“Buzz!!”
Full draw! The bow made a clear buzz as if it was happy. And a fluorescent light, which was bright as starburst, gradually appeared on the arrow point. It beca bigger and bigger in front of the brother and sister and was actually brighter than the moonlight in this mont!
Clanging!!
Arrows were shot out like the teor passing in sky. Besides the vibration of the bow, no sound could be heard.
The starburst disappeared and Yan Hongxiu woke up. She couldn’t help running to the target. She found there was a hole with the size of a fist in the center of the target. And the arrow couldn’t be seen because it was penetrated into the ground so deep.
“What kind of the archery is it?”
Yan Hongxiu stood in the cold wind with an astonished look. She couldn’t help but pinch her arm.
“It hurts so much!”
Yan Hongxiu lightly exclaid with a hiss. Then she raised her head and saw Su Li, who was holding the bow with one hand, standing beside Yan Ziye. Her clear eyes imdiately shined with boundless radiance, which instantly burned away her scorn and doubts. There was nothing left but admiration in her heart.
“Is she an immortal? Has my brother...found an immortal master for ?”
Yan Hongxiu imdiately ran to Su Li’s direction with enthusiasm.
Su Li stood on the spot. She also felt strange. So unknown starbursts appeared automatically and was integrated into the arrow when she opened the bow and shot the arrow.
She used the sa strength, but this arrow was far more powerful than her previous strength the other day...
Yan Ziye was extrely shocked and saw it enthusiastically.
It was the inborn realm!
Mr. Li was an immortal person. Even his father didn’t dare to show any disrespect before him.
Mastering the fate by virtue of his own strengthen was the life that he had wanted.
“Immortal master, you are remarkable!”
At this ti, Yan Hongxiu walked to Su Li from the target and directly kneeled down. She obediently apologized to Su Li and said, “Immortal master, forgive your apprentice’s disrespect just now. I will assiduously practice the archery with you so as not to damage your reputation!”
Although Yan Hongxiu was unfamiliar with the martial arts circle, what she had seen must be the truth. The person who could make the light appear on the arrow point must be better than her father in cultivation. She finally understood the reason why the Third Brother was so humble before Mr. Li, and finally knew his cares and thought. It was ridiculous that she contradicted with such a person.
She could only hope that it was still not too late to apologize.
“I have no intention to have you as my apprentice.”
At this ti, Su Li’s words made her feel so sad that her aglow face imdiately turned to pale.
