Chapter 187 - Baishou Feast

Chapter 187 Baishou Feast

Su Li still kept calm, but Ling Li could feel clearly from Su Li’s back that she was a little sad. That kind of sadness only lasted for a moment, so Ling Li thought that it was his illusion.

Ling Li was quite puzzled. He didn’t know what’s wrong with him and why he had a dim eyesight just now.

“Mr. Li told me to leave the branch to you. Put it near my Eldest Brother. Remember not to touch the ice crystal. Otherwise, you will be bitten by the extreme frost. This is the quintessence of the ice toxin stored in your body for more than ten years. You should be careful.”

Then Su Li handed the ice crystal branch to Ling Qinglan. Ling Qinglan took it carefully and said seriously, “Miss Su, thank you so much. I will do as Mr. Li enjoins me!”

Ling Qinglan wiped his tears and refreshed as if he became another person. The sound of cracking came from his body faintly.

His cultivation had been suppressed by the ice toxin for too long. And now, the ice toxin was driven out of his body. His cultivation was bound to advance rapidly!

After saying goodbye to Ling Li and Ling Qinglan, Su Li returned to the Affiliated School of the National Academy. Mammy Li had already prepared the dinner for her. Su Li went to her study after dinner and found that there was a roll of file on the table.

The mark on the file showed that… it was sent by Qu Lu.

Su Li focused her eyes on it and opened the seal.

Su Zipei’s words and actions in daily life were recorded in the file. Su Zipei had been on intimate terms with many masters from rich and influential families in recent days. Su Li didn’t know who taught her the methods of communicating with those who were in the upper level of Yunjing City. She was actually so popular and was a little famous. But… she was popular as a bitch.

“Even so, she is quite great!”

Seeing this, Su Li felt strange. Many girls from unknown families were more beautiful than Su Zipei, but few could attract masters from rich families. Zhu Yan didn’t have that kind of methods and insight. The only possibility was that Su Zipei was supported by a capable person.

But Su Zipei had no value. Who on earth helped her?

Su Li raised her eyebrows slightly. Even Qu Lu couldn’t find the person, so the person’s stealth was higher than the intelligence system of the Hehuan Sect. She should be cautious!

“The Baishou Feast will be held two days later.”

Su Li crumbled the file and showed a determined expression. If Su Zipei really had an ulterior motive, she would give herself away the day after tomorrow.

That was because everyone would celebrate the Baishou Feast!

Young talents killed countless beasts in the Autumn Hunting Contest. If the carcasses of beasts were exposed to the wilderness and decayed, it would be quite wasteful.

Common people had little food to eat in the famine year. The aim of the Autumn Hunting Contest was to celebrate the harvest. If food was wasted, the Dahan Country would be a corrupt country where the portals of the rich reeked of flesh and wine while frozen bodies lay by the roadside.

Thus, the Baishou Feast would be held every year after the Autumn Hunting Contest.

After three days’ hunting, the Royal Guards would collect all the carcasses of beasts and carried them to the Imperial Kitchen to cook. Then the Baishou Feast which favored all the people would be held in the largest Shenwu Square of Yunjing City in the name of the winner of the Autumn Hunting Contest.

Every citizen of Yunjing City had the qualification to get one or two jin of meat to enjoy at home. Even people who just lived in Yunjing City temporarily had the chance to eat. It was really a festival that everyone should celebrate.

Common people in Yunjing City even called the day “meat-eating day” because of the tradition. The name was simple and straight.

The day of the Baishou Feast came quickly amid expectation of common people in Yunjing City.

Many Royal Guards came to the Shenwu Square to keep order before the dawn. Long tables were set in order in the square, but there had been no meat yet. The street outside the Royal Guards were crowded with common people who came to get meat. It was not chaotic because the road was divided by the Royal Guards. If one dared to jump the queue, he would be thrown to the end by the Royal Guards.

“Let’s eat meat! Let’s eat meat!”

A child who wore patched clothes said happily near his parents. His laughter moved people around him. The Shenwu Square was full of warmth.

The sun rose from the east gradually.

Large numbers of maids and eunuchs came with trays of delicious meat at 7 a.m. They put meat on long tables. Meat was roasted or stewed for broth or braised based on its quality. Every dish was delicious and scented, which made common people drool.

After meat was put on all the long tables, the leader of the Royal Guards shouted amid everyone’s expectation, “In the first round, thousands of people enter into the square! There are enough preys this year, so everyone can get three jin of meat!”

The Royal Guards allowed people to come in as the leader stopped talking. Thousands of people rushed into the square immediately. And hundreds of scales had already be placed at the entrance of the square.

No one dared to take more meat. Legs of people who took more meat and escaped in past years were broken. Considering the severe consequences, everyone obeyed the rule. Everything seemed very harmonious.

Su Li also stood in the queue. She glanced at large numbers of people in the queue and took a jade token from her arms. She handed the jade token to the solider who checked, and the solider let her go inside immediately after seeing it.

“Look, she is a member of the National Academy!”

“Is she a student of the Girls’ College of Martial Arts? It is wonderful to participate in the autumn hunting!”

Many people talked outside and were full of envy. “I will strive to be admitted by the National Academy next year!”

As long as one had preys in the Autumn Hunting Contest, he could enter into the Baishou Building which was specially built for the Baishou Feast!

Although Su Li only had two pairs of ears, she also got the opportunity.

Su Li put her jade token away and bypassed long tables. She stopped in front of the seven-story building. This was the Baishou Building.

She walked into the first floor and heard the hubbub of the crowd.

She glanced at the crowd and saw no acquaintance, so she sat near a table and enjoyed the meat. The cooking skill of the cook of the Imperial Kitchen wasn’t as good as hers. But their styles of cooking were different, so the meat tasted quite special. Su Li enjoyed the meat and forgot that she could go to the top story based on her identity.

For many young talents who had the opportunity to enter into the Baishou Building, they wouldn’t forget their real aim because of the meat. Most people in the first floor were ordinary. They couldn’t even go to the second floor. They ganged up and recruited people to form a faction. They even looked at Su Li who enjoyed eating and drinking with a despised expression.

People in this floor were in a low level, so they didn’t know Su Li. In addition, Su Li enjoyed eating and didn’t look up.

She stopped suddenly because she perceived that another person was beside her.

She looked up and saw that Ling Li looked at her with a sly smile. He was really a playboy. Su Li glanced at him with no expression and… continued to eat.

Ling Li was unhappy because he was ignored by Su Li. He said coldly and bluntly, “Hey! Seeing me is your honor. Are you such an impolite girl?!”

(He came to say hello to Su Li, so he thought Su Li should at least consider his feelings.)

Su Li smiled and looked up. She said politely, “Thanks for Childe Ling’s attention. I am just an ordinary girl and don’t have the qualification to speak to you, so Childe Ling should go to upstairs quickly.”

If there were no other people here, she was bound to say, “I don’t have time to talk with you. Don’t bother me!”

Ling Li was quite angry. But a voice came into his ears before he could say something.

“Second Sister, you are here. I have looked for you for a long time. I heard that you hunted two ears of a rabbit at the hunting ground. It’s really amazing!”

Su Zipei who was in a luxurious water-blue dress appeared suddenly. She held a playboy’s arm and smiled. The playboy’s steps were really exaggerated. She succeeded in imitating the charm of the misses from rich families.

Su Li looked up and wiped her greasy fingertips. She replied with a smile, “It turns out to be Third Sister. I am quite surprised that you can come here.”

She hadn’t seen Su Zipei for a long time. Zipei hadn’t been a virgin, but Su Li wasn’t surprised because she had guessed that after getting that file.

Su Li’s tone was quite normal, but Su Zipei became angry instantly.

For Su Zipei, Su Li’s words meant that she depended on men to get the opportunity to enter into the Baishou Building. She thought that Su Li was laughing at her.

Su Zipei touched the half jade hung on her waist and calmed herself down quickly. She turned to look at Ling Li and refuted Su Li boldly, “I forgot to tell you that I got the opportunity all by myself. You just hunted two ears of a rabbit and actually entered into the building. I don’t believe that you could get the opportunity without the ‘help’ of others. In addition…”

“Why do you find a master with a disability of legs? Are you only worthy of such a useless man?”

Su Zipei held the young man’s arm more tightly and made no attempt to disguise her sarcasm. She didn’t notice that the man near her was extremely shocked.

Su Li covered up her mouth and smiled. She shook her head and said, “Childe, I persuade you to leave quickly.”

The young playboy trembled and ditched Su Zipei’s hands violently. He escaped without saying a word as if someone was running after him and was about to kill him.

Su Zipei stood there with a stunned expression. She didn’t understand why Childe Wang ran away!

At this moment, Ling Li cursed loudly. The curse echoed in the first floor, “Innocent ugly girl, do you know whom you are speaking to?”

All the people in the first floor focused their eyes on them.

Su Zipei had never experienced this kind of situation and turned pale with sudden fear. But when she heard “ugly girl”, she was extremely angry and cursed in a shrill voice, “Ugly? Am I ugly? You, a disabled man, have no qualification to curse me!”

Oh…

Seeing that Su Zipei dared to curse Ling Li, the crowd was in chaos.

After all, Su Zipei was just a humble girl who was over-disguised. She showed her ugliness just now like a shrew. Su Li stood nearby and showed an innocent expression. Actually, she didn’t sympathize Su Zipei at all.

It was a good opportunity for Su Li!

She could get more information from the quarrel between Su Zipei and Ling Li.

“Well!” Ling Li laughed suddenly and clapped his hands. He replied coldly, “I haven’t heard ‘disabled’ for a long time. You said twice just now. If I don’t consider your sister’s sense of decency, I will break your legs and let you know the feeling of disability…”

Ling Li looked at Su Zipei with a terrible expression!

Su Zipei couldn’t help trembling. She heard people’s talking and finally knew whom the man was. But she would rather not know.

“Who on earth is this girl? She should curse the first playboy of Yunjing City!”

“She seems to be Su Li’s sister from Master Ling’s words. Su Li is so polite and intelligent, but she should have such a humble and impolite sister.”

“No matter how much Master Ling likes Su Li, he should have his own limit of endurance. Su Zipei provokes him today. It is hard to guess what will happen…”

Master Ling!

The first playboy in Yunjing City!

Su Zipei was stunned. The person behind her reminded her not to provoke Ling Li, but she should curse him just now. She didn’t understand why Ling Li appeared in the first floor and stayed there with Su Li!

“Ah!!”

People around them discussed more and more loudly. Su Zipei was really frightened. She ran towards the outside crazily with all her might and disappeared instantly.

“Ha-ha…”

The crowd laughed, but Su Li couldn’t laugh. She ran after Su Zipei worriedly. Although she had never been on good terms with Su Zipei, she shouldn’t let those people know.

Seeing that Su Li disappeared in the distance, Ling Li smiled slyly. He waved to Ling Mo who stood near the entrance and enjoined Ling Mo in a low voice, “The jade on Su Zipei’s waist is very extraordinary. Go to steal it.”

He must punish Su Zipei who offended him. Otherwise, he couldn’t show that he was the first playboy in Yunjing City.

In addition, Su Li had been bullied by members of the Su Family in these years. He should seek revenge for her to some extent.
