Chapter 72: The Tablet Dropped

It seemed like she could forget about finding that secret technique in the ancestral hall today. If she let the demonic energy spread out here, the Li family would definitely discover her secret!

Seeing that Li Ling was in a hurry to leave, the patriarch thought that she was in a hurry to go back and refine the pill, so he instructed her again before letting her leave.

As soon as Kong Rui returned to the courtyard, she saw Chao Bai standing at the door like a stone and looking out quietly.

She walked up to Chao Bai and saw that his face was still pale. She immediately felt helpless. “Why are you here?”

“I’ll wait for you.” Chao Bai stared at Kong Rui. His gaze seemed to penetrate her body and look straight into her soul.

Kong Rui sighed slightly. “Let’s go! Let’s go in and talk!”

However, she had just taken two steps when Chao Bai grabbed her wrist.

Kong Rui was startled and turned to look at Chao Bai. “What are you doing?”

“What’s wrong?” Chao Bai asked at the same time.

Chao Bai was staring at her nervously. Kong Rui didn’t expect this fellow to be even more observant than those old fellows. She glanced around before saying, “Let’s go in first!”

She grabbed Chao Bai’s hand and quickly pulled him into the room.

The servants already went to rest. Now, they were the only ones in the room.

Chao Bai asked again, “The demonic energy in your body has been restless. What did you do?”

“Do you have a way to suppress the demonic energy?” Kong Rui asked.

Since Chao Bai said that he could remove the mark on Kong Rui’s body, he definitely knew how to suppress the demonic energy!

Chao Bai instantly fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, “I know how to suppress the demonic energy, but you will have to endure a lot of pain.”

Kong Rui didn’t hesitate and immediately said, “I can tolerate it!”

As Chao Bai looked at Kong Rui’s determined gaze, he frowned deeply. “What exactly are you going to do? You’re willing to abandon your body and suffer such pain?”

Kong Rui didn’t want to say anything else. “I want to refine this Spirit Qi Pill, but the demonic energy in my body is constantly devouring the Spirit Qi Pill. Help me think of a way.”

In the current situation, even if he might have a grudge against the Demon Abyss, she could only choose to trust him.

Chao Bai seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said, “Alright! I’ll help you! But you can’t touch that wooden box again!”

Kong Rui thought for a moment before saying, “Alright! I won’t touch it anymore!”

As Kong Rui spoke, she secretly added in her heart, “I won’t touch it for the time being.”

Chao Bai was satisfied with Kong Rui’s promise.

“Find a place. I’ll help you suppress the demonic energy before you refine this pill.” Chao Bai looked around the room they were in. “This place won’t do. You need a more hidden place.”

Kong Rui frowned. She couldn’t think of anything more suitable at the moment.

At that moment, she felt a tightening around her waist.

She looked down and saw Chao Bai’s hand wrapped around her waist.

Before Kong Rui could say anything, a ball of white mist suddenly surrounded her body.

As Kong Rui watched the changing scenery under her feet, she suddenly realized where the hidden place that Chao Bai mentioned was…

In the Li family’s courtyard, the Second Elder was about to leave the residence for a secret meeting with his mistress when he suddenly felt the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuation. He looked around, but the spiritual energy fluctuation disappeared again.

The Second Elder frowned and thought that he was hallucinating. He quickly opened the side door and got out.

The Second Elder thought to himself, “The tigress at home has just fallen asleep. I can’t let her discover that I went out.”

That spiritual power fluctuation just now might have been caused by his own nervousness!

The patriarch stood in the middle of the ancestral hall and looked at the tablets of his ancestors. He couldn’t help but feel proud.

“The Li family is finally able to hold its head up in the empire! Ancestors, please bless Ling’er to win first place in this spirit beast competition!”

Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed from the Li family’s ancestral tablet. A tablet suddenly leaned forward and fell to the ground.

The patriarch was startled and rushed over to pick up the tablet.

It was Li Ling’s grandfather’s tablet.

The patriarch froze, then he wiped it and placed the tablet back.

He muttered to himself, “Don’t worry, Li Ling definitely won’t let you down! Our family will also provide her with the greatest support! The day our family can hold our heads high has finally arrived!”
