Chapter 179 Sudden Appearance of Kurong Branch

Seen by Wu Xiuxiu, Su Li felt the former’s undisguised hatred for her and watched along the sight. She saw Wu Xiuxiu was absent-minded falsely and nodded with a smile immediately. Su Li was disappointed.

Before she did something to the Wu Family, the brother and sister rushed to make trouble for her. They really didn’t want to live.

Seeing the kind smile of Su Li, Wu Xiuxiu was surprised and immediately became angry. She felt that she was humiliated!

Bitch!

Did she think that after she had a relationship with the Ling Family, she was on an equal footing with her? She dared to say hello to her confidently?!

If today’s occasion was appropriate, she couldn’t wait to slap the arrogant bitch!

Wu Xiuxiu’s heart beat was fast and she suppressed her anger. Wu Jin found it quickly. He followed the sight of Wu Xiuxiu and saw Su Li. He looked calm but still smiled. He whispered to Wu Xiuxiu.

Wu Xiuxiu immediately became happy. She held the arms of Wu Jin and acted like a spoiled child. She still showed off to Su Li from time to time with her eyes.

Su Li frowned lightly. It was not suitable for her to investigate them with the psychic awareness in this occasion. Wu Jin turned back and did not let her see his lips. She didn’t know what the brother and sister said.

However, even if Wu Jin wanted to make trouble for her, he should weigh the situation of the Yunjing City. The matter of the Su Family had already attracted the attention of princes. If Wu Jin made trouble for her impulsively again, she didn’t have to take action by herself and the eldest son of the general would die.

“The First Prince is coming!”

The shrill voice of the eunuch with cultivation was clearly heard by people. Su Li looked up and saw that there was one more person on the high platform. The person was Dongfang Sheng, who was dressed in a golden robe. He was in high and vigorous spirits and his spirit was not as humble as he first met Qu Lu.

The voice was from Eunuch Feng. Su Li had met him in the waterside pavilion in the south of the town. It was unknown whether the emperor would come or not.

After Dongfang Sheng sat down, Eunuch Feng shouted again, “The Third Prince is coming!”

The scene of the porphyrogenite’s appearance was grand. The princes and princesses should be familiar with the high platform from an early age.

They all wore golden robes. Only Dongfang Lang’s decorative pattern was different. He walked briskly. It seemed that the wind was around his feet. He walked to the high platform calmly. He was like a gentleman whose cultivation was high. All the young talents were amazed.

Dongfang Sheng was gloomy for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, he greeted the Third Prince with a smile.

Then, the Fifth Prince Dongfang Yang appeared. Compared with Dongfang Lang, he was normal. But he was the most handsome prince. He was honoured as the most handsome man in the Yunjing City!

When Dongfang Yang appeared, his handsome face made many girls scream. The First Prince was angrier.

Even the Fifth Prince was more popular than him. If his father saw the scene, how could he live in the Eastern Palace and become the emperor?

Su Li watched the hypocritical princes with great interest. She thought that the acting skills of people in the royal family were excellent.

Dongfang Sheng and Dongfang Lang opposed each other secretly. But they immediately became close brothers in front of outsiders.

At this moment, Eunuch Feng shouted again, “The Seventh Prince is coming!”

Su Li was a little stunned and looked at the last prince. She was a little sad.

The Seventh Prince was Dongfang Wuxue!

Su Li calculated the time. Dongfang Wuxue was only 12 years old this year?

Then, a child who was about one meter in height slowly climbed to the high platform. He was not cute and handsome. He only had an ordinary appearance. His mother was not popular in the Imperial Palace, and his force was the weakest in the Imperial Palace.

“The Seventh Prince is coming…”

“The high platform is steep. Be careful.”

The three princes all smiled and cared about him, but no one helped him. Dongfang Wuxue was too young. The emperor was old and would abdicate soon. Nobody regarded him as a competitor.

Only Su Li knew that in the previous life, it was the Seventh Prince who looked normal that caught up from behind and became the next emperor of the Dahan Country!

Nobody knew the specific reasons.

After all the princes came, Eunuch Feng went to the high platform and announced the autumn hunting reward on behalf of the emperor.

It was normal that the emperor did not leave the Imperial Palace for many years. All the families did not feel strange. They secretly discussed which prince could live in the Eastern Palace. Recently, the emperor was worn out with age. His energy was not as good as before. It seemed that he wanted to set the crown prince.

Ling Li almost lay on the wheelchair. He was slumbering and the saliva was on his mouth. Other people around him all disliked him and turned their heads.

Ling Li was the shame among the young people in the Yunjing City!

Seeing that Ling Li was acting, Su Li smiled inside. Her focus was still on the princes.

All the princes must watch the autumn hunting every year. If they reached the age of eighteen, they must participate in the autumn hunting. They couldn’t be lazy and slack. The First Prince, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince were all over eighteen years old. After a while, only Dongfang Wuxue watched the play on the high platform.

“The nature knows that it is not easy for people to survive. This year the weather is good and people live well. The Autumn Hunting Contest is held on time! If a young talent has a good performance and wins the first prize, he can enter the Imperial Palace and talk with the emperor. What’s more, he could own the superior mental cultivation methods of Xuangong, Shenbing Hongyuan Sword and a treasure branch!”

Then, Eunuch Feng took out the book and the sword and put them on the high platform. The book immediately attracted much attention.

The secret method of Xuangong!

It was the key for the poor young men to become successful. Only when they got Xuangong could they break through the limitation of the laity and become a veritable warrior. If they reached the inborn realm, they could change their fates. They would get important positions in the imperial court and would even develop their own families!!

All the poor young men couldn’t resist the temptation.

Finally, Eunuch Feng put a branch from a withered tree on the high platform and said happily, “The branch was offered by a small country. It is not only invulnerable, but also hardly smelted by fire. The emperor chose it designedly and wanted to send it to someone who is destined to receive it.”

Hearing what he said, the audience was calm. It’s hard to attract people’s attention because the benefits were invisible. Three people on the seat of the Ling Family focused their attention on the branch.

The bark was like the feather and the grain was like a bird!

It was not from an unknown withered tree. It was clearly a branch from Kurong tree!

Ling Li’s feeling was complicated. Since Su Li made an agreement with him, he looked up a lot of precious ancient books to get the appearance of the Kurong tree. The Tianya House searched it hard, but they never got any clue of it. It was unexpected that the Kurong tree suddenly appeared in front of him today.

Someone wore out iron shoes in fruitless searching, and yet by a lucky chance he might find the lost thing without even looking for it.

The Second Brother’s cultivation was the highest among all, and his age did not exceed the limitation of the contest. In addition, Ling Qinglan would help the Second Brother. They could get the Kurong tree easily!

“Qinglan!”

He transmitted the sound in a low voice. Ling Qinglan was a little nervous and touched his chest unnoticeably. But he still transmitted the sound, “I know. I will do my best to help the Second Brother win the first prize!”

Hearing Ling Qinglan’s response, Ling Li grinned and pulled Ling Ping’s sleeve.

Ling Ping turned his head and was confused. He saw that Ling Li was not like a playboy. He was serious. Ling Ping was nervous. Ling Li said, “Second Brother, I didn’t ask you to do anything. But I must get that branch!”

Originally, Ling Ping wanted to relieve boredom. But now he changed his mind and was full of fighting will. He said in a low voice, “I will win it for you!”

Indeed, the Third Brother never asked him to do anything. Even if the Third Brother did not know the origin of the withered tree, he must try his best to get it!

What’s more, it seemed that the Third Brother recognized the branch.

After Ling Ping glanced at the people who did not care about that branch, he couldn’t help but curl his lips. People said that the Third Brother had neither learning nor skill. But today these scholars who had profound learning didn’t recognize the branch. Only the Third Brother recognized it!

They didn’t have the qualification to say that the Third Brother was a useless man!

He often heard that Ling Li was a playboy. Although he did not say anything, it did not mean that he was not angry. It was a good chance to vent his anger today!

“Mother, I will go with Qinglan.”

Ling Ping said and went to make preparations. Since it was autumn hunting, good horses and bows were necessary.

Su Li stood up and said with a smile. “Thanks for the care of the Old Lady. I also want to see it. It is a pity for me to come to the Autumn Hunting Contest but fail to take part in it.”

Su Li’s reason was irrefutable.

Mrs. Gu did not stop her, but said with a broad smile, “Go! Since you regard me as an example, you should have this awareness!”

In addition, she saw that Su Li reached the acquired eighth hurdle. As long as she didn’t encounter dozens of beasts at the same time, she would not be in danger. Also, the Northwest Hunting Ground was controlled. Therefore, it was impossible that all the beasts gathered together.

So there was no danger at all.

However, women were weak. So only a few female warriors dared to take part in it.

Ling Li watched Su Li leave and did not speak. She mastered the refining of the secret medicine. Her cultivation was close to his. Even if all the beasts in the hunting ground attacked her at the same time, she would win. What on earth did she want to do?

Did she want to get the branch of the Kurong tree and then make more requests?

“You are still looking. She is gone. If you really fall in love with her, don’t go out and fool around. Pay more attention to her.”

Qiu Meng patted Ling Li’s shoulder and reproached him. Ling Li came to his sense and smiled. He couldn’t say that he had a close relationship with Su Li and that he even had slept on Su Li’s bed.

The shrill voice of Eunuch Feng echoed at 7 a.m. The huge and heavy iron gate of the hunting ground finally opened slowly.

“The Autumn Hunting Contest begins now!”

Ten thousand steeds galloped instantly and the sound was loud!

Su Li’s horse was not good enough and she was in the last crowd. She randomly selected her horse in the racecourse outside the hunting ground. She was not ready to participate in the autumn hunting. That was because the Northwest Hunting Ground was too low for her to be interested in as Ling Li had thought.

However, Wu Jin had many bad ideas. Ling Qinglan might not have the chance to take actions. It was very hard to make sure that Ling Ping would not be set up.

Su Li also cared about Wu Xiuxiu’s smile. If she couldn’t get the Kurong tree, she would be very sad. It was easier to take actions secretly. She thought it through. Finally, she thought it would be better to take actions by herself. In this way, it couldn’t fail under any circumstances.

As horses ran, those in the high platform could not see the participants.

Su Li glanced at the departure direction of Ling Ping and Ling Qinglan. She hesitated for a moment and rode to another direction. The autumn hunting would last for three days. She must first ensure that she got sufficient prey to win the first prize.
