Yun Yi came to Lord Rui’s Mansion to report the latest situation of Su Li.

  “Why did Mrs. Meng of Ling General’s Mansion suddenly invite Li?”

  Dongfang Rui frowned and walked back and forth in the room.

  Yun Yi added, “Mrs. Meng is making a new snack. Because Miss Su Li has unparalleled cooking skills, she wants to ask her for help.”

  Then Dongfang Rui sneered, “At the end of the year, there are too many accounts in the Ling Family. Can Qiu Meng have leisure time? I guess she has other intention. However, Li is back to our family now. The Ling Family dare not do anything wrong to her. At that time, accompany Li to the Ling Mansion and ask other guards of the Yunge Sect for cooperation outside to protect her.”

  Su Li had just returned to his side, and he certainly did not want to let his daughter get married immediately.

  “Yes, Master.”

  Yun Yi bowed and smiled bitterly. Based on his cultivation, if he went with Su Li, it’s more likely that she protected them.

  “Never tell anyone about my other identity, including my father. Since you have passed my test, guards of the Yunge Sect will also belong to the Linli Building in the future. Understand?”

  Thinking of the order from the Miss, Yun Yi said nothing and retreated quietly. The reason why they knew the real role of Su Li was that they were recognized by the Miss, and they would not violate her command.

  Whenever he thought that Mr. Li was his owner, who was famous in the capital and had the same status with Childe Li, the Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult, Yun Yi couldn’t help marveling again and again.

  It was a gamble to follow the unknown owner after the hard practice of 20 years. Since he knew the status of the Miss in the auction house, he would wake up happily when sleeping. It was hard for ordinary people to understand the sense of honor and joy.

  The Miss must be the person who could achieve great things. If they followed such a dynamic leader, their life would be full of splendor!

  When Lord Rui met Yun Yi, Wu Bin was beside them; however, they did not find a shadow peeping on the wall covered by trees in Lord Rui’s Mansion.

  “Why does the force of Lord Rui’s Mansion expand so much? It’s unusual that even the servants are young masters of inborn fourth hurdle. This matter must be reported to the leader, so that we can feel at ease……”

  The shadow soon receded, and no one found that he had come. ……

  As soon as Yun Yi returned to the Affiliated School of the National Academy, he told Su Li the order of Lord Rui.

  “Father asked you to go with me, didn’t he?”

  Su Li gently raised her eyebrows. It was not dangerous to go to the Ling Mansion above board. If Ling Li had some other arrangements, she could also ask Yun Yi to help her. “Then you can follow me, and listen to me for every word and deed. Don’t be careless.”

  \r \r \r

  Yun Yi was astonished. Though Ling General’s Mansion was an important site of the imperial court and had a legendary figure, Ms. Gu, nobody could have a better cultivation than the Miss even General Ling Ping. Why did she look so cautious?

  With this idea, Yun Yi got on the carriage with Su Li to Ling General’s Mansion.

  Seeing the carriage of Lord Rui’s Mansion coming, the Ling Family’s servant who had been waiting early hurried to open the gate of the mansion. Ling General’s Mansion was very big, even with a special parking area. Yun Yi stopped the horse according to the servant’s directions and jumped to the ground immediately to welcome Su Li to get off.

  Exhaling a heavy breath gently, Su Li looked around. She had just seen the ruins of Ling General’s Mansion, so it made up for her regrets to see the real one.

  “Princess Li, this way please. Madam has been waiting for you since the morning in the hall.”

  A plump and gentle mammy saluted Su Li. Su Li came to her and said gently with a smile, “What is Mammy’s name?”

  Mammy was flattered suddenly and answered repeatedly, “Princess, I am Li Qing.”

  “You are Mammy Li.”

  While leading the way, Mammy Li nodded and thought that Princess Li was the kindest girl she had ever seen and that her gentle temper was similar to Madam’s. If she could be married to Ling Li, it was servants’ blessing.

  After a while, Su Li and Yun Yi came to the hall. Qiu Meng rushed to Su Li and shook her hands, “Su Li, I’m longing to see you day and night. You come finally.”

  Amazed by Qiu Meng’s enthusiasm, Su Li tried to take back her hands but failed. She could only nod and said, “It’s my first time to come to General’s Mansion. If I do something against the mansion’s rules, I wish to get Madam’s forgiveness.”

  “I invite you to help me. There are no rules for you. Follow me and try some snacks made by myself.”

  Qiu Meng held Su Li to backyard seemingly just for snacks. Su Li felt at ease and followed. Yun Yi followed, too.

  At the beginning, Miss Su Li was regarded as a gentle, polite, and knowledgeable person. Then she became “Mr. Li” who was smart, strong and mysterious.

  No matter which one she was, she could handle things easily and catch the initiative. It was quite interesting to see the scene that Miss Su Li was taken different places by Qiu Meng. Yun Yi smiled.

  At this moment in the East Courtyard of Ling Mansion, Ling Li sighed, “Second Brother, I’ve put on my clothes. I don’t need the tuinga, right?”

  Ling Ping gave the tuinga to Ling Xian and wanted to blame him. But he couldn’t help laughing out, and said, “Mother specially called me back from the barracks outside the city to look after you. If I cannot fulfill her order, I am going to be blamed. Xian, dress him quickly. Su Li has come.”

  Staring blankly, Ling Xian became fresh after hearing Ling Ping’s words. She picked off the tuinga of Ling Li whose long hair scattered at once like pouring black ink and hid his forehead and side face with deep shiny eyes.

  The playboy changed greatly like a sharp sword.

  Ling Ping was shocked suddenly. And a picture occurred in his mind.

  Three or four years ago, he was ambushed and was the only living person after seeing his lieutenants fall down one after another, but he was still struggling. The enemy still owned a squad of cavalry whose General was higher than him in cultivation and had not fought. He was tricked wantonly like a rat by enemies.

  The setting sun was like blood, and he was doomed to die.

  He ran into the cavalry with a thought of death. Just at that moment, a young man with scattered hair killed all the enemies with his sharp sword in a short time.

  He could still remember the smell of thick blood. And he wanted to step forward to have a look at the face of the young man. But the young man didn’t tend to get contact with him. Disappearing in the mountains, the young man showed him only that black hair and shining light of the sword.

  He was…… Brother Li?!

  Ling Ping was scared by his guess. How did he think of Brother Li? Brother Li plainly did not practice……

  Seeing Ling Ping’s facial changes, Ling Li suddenly thought that he once had to pick off his tuinga and hid behind his hair to save Second Brother because he didn’t wear his mask.

  Feeling bad and covering his face with hands, he turned around and pretended to say angrily, “Xian, what are you doing? My hair is scattered. Put it back. It’s really ugly.”

  “Calm down, Master. I do it right now.”

  Ling Xian replied timidly and bound Ling Li’s hair quickly. The expression of anger and his shouting made the image in Ling Ping’s mind ruined.

  Ling Ping kept scratching his head. He didn’t sleep well last night, and it was an illusion. Brother Li couldn’t be the mystery.

  Meanwhile in the backyard of Ling General’s Mansion.

  Su Li took a bite of the snack made by Qiu Meng. She was surprised at the taste. Even though it looked common, it smelled so special that it reminded her of the Peiyun Cake she ever tasted in the previous life.

  “How is it?”

  Facing Qiu Meng’s expectation, Su Li nodded and praised her, “The ingredients are so special that I never had such a taste before.”

  Qiu Meng saw the appreciation from Su Li’s eyes. This girl was different from others who flattered her as soon as they caught a chance. She was honest.

  Actually, she appreciated Su Li. Even if Su Li complimented her, she would also think Su Li was sweet.

  Qiu Meng sighed and spoke frankly, “To be honest, little Su Li, I cooked the snack under Old Lady’s guidance. In the past, the snack shop of the Gu Family was renowned around the city. Then the Old Lady joined the army, and the shop was closed without an inheritor.

  Su Li was quite interested in what Qiu Meng said. She knew the snacks of the Gu Family from Ms. Gu’s biography which said that the Gu Family was certainly a snack provider. But it was not written in detail. She never thought the snacks of the Gu Family were so famous.

  In the previous life, after the doom of the Ling Mansion, the snack house of the Gu Family was not owned by the Dongfang Family, but by the Wu Family. Was the Dongfang Family less powerful than the Wu Family?

  Su Li was puzzled, but Qiu Meng was full of nostalgia and took out a copy of the snack recipe for her.

  “I invite you to help me restore the flavor of the snacks. I heard that you have been fond of studying cooking and talented in it since you were young. The Old Lady is old and has no energy to study it. I also know that I am not suitable for cooking when I see what I cooked overnight.”

  Then Su Li said with a smile, “Madam, you are very talented. For common people, even if they are busy all night, what they cook may not taste more delicious than yours. You just have no time.”

  “Really?”

  Qiu Meng was deeply attracted, “But every time I spend time cooking, the taste is not so good.”

  Su Li nodded and said with a gentle smile, “You cook less, so you can’t master the amount of ingredients. There are some tips for cooking. If you like, I can teach you now.”
