"Granduncle wants me to participate in this year's competition?”Su Wulei asked lightly.
As the only elder of the Direct Line, Su Li must have investigated these matters. Since he didn't say the reason for those people's disappearance, he must be worried about something or he couldn't find out.
She didn't ask. Everything had to wait until she was strong enough to influence the entire Su family before she could slowly investigate.
After accepting the memories of her original body, she had an indescribable feeling about her father, who shared the same blood as her.
"What does Young Miss mean?" Su Li nervously retracted his hands into his sleeves to hide his trembling.
" Wulei is also a direct descendant." " You're right!" Su Wulei's eyes flashed." From now on, the Su Family's resources will lean towards the Direct Line!"”
Her words were full of confidence. Now that she was a peak Martial Apprentice and cultivated all five elements at the same time, as long as the Sus 'Martial Elder did not make a move, she could easily crush the Sus' Martial Apprentice.
"Thank you for your help, Eldest Miss. I thank you on behalf of the direct descendants!”Su Li instantly trembled with excitement.
Although he had some confidence in persuading this cold young lady when he came, he did not expect her to agree so readily.
He also understood the meaning behind the words 'from hereon'. Could it be that Eldest Miss had already put aside her past prejudices and wanted to protect the direct descendants?
To be able to obtain the protection of an alchemist, even if the direct descendants left the Su family, they would definitely rise in the future!
Excited, Su Li knelt down and bowed deeply.
Su Wulei quickly reached out to help him up. Su Li was her elder, so she was unwilling to accept this bow.
"If Young Miss doesn't accept Su Li's bow, Su Li won't get up!”The old man's voice was slightly hoarse. With his cultivation as a martial artist, he forcefully bowed.
He was not bowing to a junior, nor was he bowing to her status. He was bowing to the savior of the Direct Line, the hope he had been waiting for!
It had been so many years. Only Su Li knew how bitter his heart was. The Grand Elder of the Direct Line was heavily injured and had been in seclusion for many years. He was the only one who supported the entire Direct Line. He worried about the livelihood of his descendants every day, and even delayed his own cultivation.
One by one, the elders of the direct line of descent around him mysteriously disappeared. Even the First Elder, who was Su Wulei's grandfather, had gone out to look for the family head that summer and never returned.
Su Li endured humiliation and countless times he bent down to compromise. Countless times, he was treated coldly by others. Even if someone hit him in the face, he would smile at them, just to save his old life that even he hated.
He knew that if he died, the Direct Line would no longer have an Elder and would no longer have the right to speak.
He pressed his face to the ground. At this moment, his old face was already covered in tears!
"Granduncle, if you don't get up, I won't participate in the competition anymore." Su Wulei was moved.”
Su Li wiped his tears and immediately got up in a panic. He cupped his fists at Su Wulei and said,""In the Su family, you're the eldest daughter of the Direct Line, but in the eyes of the Direct Line, you're the young master of the Su family. I hope that the eldest daughter can help the Direct Line.”
"Granduncle, you can't do this kind of ceremony in the future. You've protected my father's direct descendants for many years, and Wulei is extremely grateful. If Granduncle doesn't agree, you don't have to come again in the future.”
Su Wulei's words were cold, but Su Li could hear a trace of warmth in them.
Su Li wanted to cup his fists and bow again, but when he thought of Su Wulei's words just now, he held it in.
"Da…Wulei, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.”At this moment, Su Li only wanted to leave this place, walk out of the Su residence, walk into the snowstorm, run, and vent.
After venting his frustrations for so many years, he finally had hope, and it was the hope of a bright future.
From the moment Su Wulei displayed his talent, he had been worried that Su Wulei would hold a grudge against the Direct Line. Now, he had finally put down the heavy burden in his chest.
"Granduncle, you only need to leave the time and place. At that time, Wulei will naturally participate and definitely not disappoint Granduncle.”Su Wulei raised his head and stared at the old face. His black eyes were firm.
With her intelligence, how could she not see through Su Li's thoughts?
"The location is in the front courtyard of the Su residence. At that time, the geniuses of the Su family's branch family will return. There are still five days left.”Su Li stood up. At this moment, the excitement in his heart was finally suppressed a little, and his face was full of smiles.
Su Wulei looked at the old figure walking into the snow and slowly disappearing outside the door. It was so desolate.
"If you don't betray me, I won't let you down!”She murmured softly.
Since she had decided to accept this responsibility, she would do her best. Of course, she had to first improve her self-preservation ability and become an alchemist as soon as possible!
The small competition five days later was the first thing she did for the Direct Line. She absolutely couldn't make any mistakes. Su Wulei decided to relax as much as possible in the next few days and maintain his peak condition.
Nightcrypt didn't show up. Instead, she roasted a large chunk of meat. As soon as it entered her mouth, she realized that it wasn't because the meat was delicious, but rather because Nightcrypt's cooking skills were simply too good. When she ate the meat she had roasted, it was obvious who was better.
Shaking her head, she wiped away the memories of roasting meat with that damned man. She was ready to take a bath and change her clothes after eating and drinking her fill.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Su Wulei asked.
Su Li had just left. It was impossible for him to look for her again. She really could not think of anyone in the Su family who could look for her at this time.
"This lowly concubine Zheng shi requests an audience with Eldest Young Lady!”Madam Zheng stood outside the door and gritted her teeth. When she thought of her precious daughter's current miserable state and secretly hated Su Wulei, she had no choice but to lower her stance.
"Why are you looking for me?" Su Wulei's black eyes flashed sharply. Could it be that this vicious woman was up to something again?
"Madam Zheng…Madam Zheng has a favor to ask of you.”
With a thud, Madam Zheng knelt on the ground. She also knew that she and Su Wulei had reached a situation where one of them had to die. However, for her daughter, even if she had to put down her dignity and give up her life, it was worth it.
"When did you treat me as a young miss? Get lost!”Su Wulei's cold voice rang out. If you don't have anything to do, you'll be a thief.
Madam Zheng's eyes dimmed. She had long expected Su Wulei to be so resolute. She gritted her teeth and said,""Young miss, to be honest, Madam Zheng came today to ask young miss to refine pills.”
"Alchemy?" Su Wulei was somewhat puzzled.
"Eldest Young Miss, this lowly concubine knows how I treated Eldest Young Miss in the past…Now, this lowly concubine is regretful. As long as Eldest Young Miss is willing to refine a cauldron of healing pills for this lowly concubine, this lowly concubine and her daughter are willing to follow Eldest Young Miss from now on and are willing to listen to all orders!”
Madam Zheng buried her head in the snow, her mouth full of bitterness!
"You did it to save Su Qingqing?" Su Wulei sneered in his heart. She really knew how to think. Even if she could refine pills, there was no reason for her to save her mortal enemy.
A word of repentance could make her forgive everything she had done to her in the past? What was done was done. She, Su Wulei, had never been very broad-minded.
"If Eldest Young Lady is willing to save Qing Qing, this lowly concubine is willing to offer a precious treasure!”Madam Zheng trembled as she took out a rolled up sheepskin from her storage bag. Her eyes were filled with reluctance!#
