Chapter 106 The Secret of the Gong Family
The long sword crossed the air with a graceful arc and flashed several times precisely in Gong Min’s sight. The tip of the sword seemed to have eyes. It touched the tips of all the darts with coherent rattle. Then the darts fell to the ground with tinkles.

“No!”

The man in black attacked in secret saw the scene, and immediately turned pale as if he saw a ghost. He ran away in a hurry without saying anything. But he had not stepped out a few steps, the white light flashed and disappeared. Then Su Li appeared like a ghost in front of him.

Su Li snorted. Before the man in black had reaction, she hit him on the neck with one hand. Then the man groaned and fell to the ground.

A bloody smell suddenly spread. Su Li couldn’t help frowning. She squatted down to have a check. But the black cloth on face of the man in black was dyed with blood.

“Am I late?”

Su Li felt surprised. She uncovered the black cloth and saw a strange and pale face. She broke apart the latter’s teeth and looked carefully. But she did not find the poison bag.

Gong Min and Feng Qingru supported each other and walked out. When they saw the dead body on the ground, they immediately collapsed and weakly sat down.

“Is he…is he dead? Ms. Li…he…”

Gong Min looked terrified. Even in the Gong Family in Yunjing, she had never seen a dead man. She did not have the opportunity to encounter such hideous things when she lived in the Qinghe Town with her grandma.

Su Li nodded slightly and murmured, “I was careless. The man had extremely strong poison in his body. I knocked him out, but triggered the fatal acupuncture point which killed him instantly. There must be a poison senior behind him.”

Poison, it was poison again!

Gong Min regained her composure and was full of hate, which was clear to see from her tender face. She had known who was behind the killer.

At this time, Wen Ruomin came out with a cane. She had experienced storms in her life. She looked a little pale. She bowed to Su Li far away and said, “Ms. Li, I am sorry. You must be frightened by the incident. Thanks to your excellent martial arts. Otherwise, the killer would have succeeded in the assassination today.”

Su Li threw the bloody veil on the face of the man in black. She stood up and clapped her hands. Then she said, “Never mind. It’s a piece of cake. But since something like this has happened, it’s not safe in the school anymore. How about sending Dean Gong to the Linli Building tonight?”

Wen Ruomin was still frightened and she was also shocked by Su Li’s ability. There was the College of Martials Arts in the Qinghe School and she knew it. But those martial arts lecturers were far less powerful than Mr. Li. She felt horrified at the thought of that speed and reaction. Ordinary warriors couldn’t do like that at all.

“It seems that if I want to know more about Ms. Li, I have to go to the Satrap’s Mansion.”

With this idea in mind, Wen Ruomin bowed to Su Li slightly and saluted, “Thanks for your timely assistance. Min, go and pack your baggage. We’ll go at once.”

Gong Min nodded repeatedly and Feng Qingru followed her to help. She had not spoken much since Su Li came for diagnosis. Although Gong Xiangjun was her mentor, she knew too little about her family background.

Su Li nodded slightly and blinked her eyes in meditation.

In this way, she saved Gong Xiangjun’s life and didn’t worry about Gong Min’s safety. Wu Yun could do nothing but vent her anger in Feng Qingru and her.

The Feng Family where Feng Qingru came from was eminent in Qinghe Town. But as the saying went, one with great power couldn’t defeat a local villain. Wu Yun couldn’t bring the forces she controlled in Yunjing. So, she could do nothing about Feng Qingru.

In this case, Wu Yun would certainly vent her anger to Su Li…

Thinking of this, Su Li could not help but feel a little helpless. She just got rid of Jin Cheng’ao who would be a disaster in the future and didn’t have time to rest. Troubles came one after another, which was really disturbing.

“Jin Cheng’ao maltreated him to death on the street in public in her previous life. In this life without Jin Cheng’ao, the scene will not happen, but…”

Su Li looked to the direction of Yunjing and looked worried.

Many people’s destiny trajectories in this life had been completely different under her intervention. Yan Ziye’s serious injury was an accident. There would be more things out of her control in the future. Could she really help him accomplish his previous goals…

Gong Min accidentally saw Su Li’s worry in her eyes.

Gong Min instantly felt confused. Would such a powerful girl like Ms. Li have trouble? What would get her in this world?

Gong Min was puzzled but didn’t dare to ask.

At midnight, the carriage of the Qinghe School arrived at the Linli Building. Maybe Wu Yun was too confident about the killer and did not notice that something went wrong. Or Wu Yun was afraid of Su Li’s ability. It was a quiet journey and no killer appeared.

Fang Yuan and others had made preparations for them. They had already cleared up a quiet room on the third floor for Gong Xiangjun and Gong Min to live in. It was not far for Su Li from the attic of the top floor to the quite room, which was very convenient.

The Linli Building was a winery, not an inn. The guest rooms were on the back of the first floor. Gong Min was moved when she saw the room that the people of the Linli Building had specially cleaned up. Her gratitude for Su Li was beyond words. She wanted to cry because even her families did not treat her so kindly like Su Li.

“What a miserable child. It’s lucky for you to meet such a good doctor as Ms. Li.” Wen Ruomin sighed and then left with the servant. She was going back to the school to take charge the routine matters.

After being busy for a while, the Linli Building was in silence again. It was late when Gong Min finished wiping her grandma’s body. But she wasn’t sleepy at all. She was so annoyed and had nowhere to vent her upset.

After sitting quietly beside her grandma for a moment, she gently opened the door and watched the Linli Building in the dark, as if she was influenced by endless dark with full of despair.

“Brother, if you were still here, could you tell me what to do?”

Gong Min whispered to herself and slowly went forward in the dark. Suddenly she saw a glimmer of light and it was not strong. But Gong Min seemed to see a glimmer of hope. She did not know what she thought and just went over without hesitation.

In the top attic, Su Li heard something and immediately put aside the Ao Sword Skills. Then she heard where the footsteps came from and instantly felt relieved. She stretched out her hand to take the veil on the wall and put it on.

Then Gong Min’s low voice came from outside, “Ms. Li, are you asleep?”

Gong Min felt nervous and didn’t know why she was not afraid of Ms. Li. She knew that Ms. Li’s martial arts were absolutely more powerful than the killer in the daytime. If she offended her at will, she would surely have no good results.

Then the door of the attic opened silently and automatically. Gong Min felt shocked and couldn’t help looking up. Then she saw in the gloomy candle light, Su Li with a veil on her face held a thin and simple book in her hand.

It was dimly lit inside the room, but Gong Min saw it clearly. She was impressed by the picturesque scene, as if the present scene was so beautiful that she needed to remember it forever.

But Ms. Li didn’t remove her veil, and that’s the only thing that Gong Min felt not so satisfied. She still didn’t know what Ms. Li look like.

“Miss Gong Min, it’s late. What do you want?”

Su Li’s voice was calm, but it made Gong Min feel cold. She said with an expression of grievance, “Ms. Li, I’m sorry to bother you. I…I can’t sleep.”

Su Li sighed slightly. It is true that in the martial arts circle, it’s taboo to disturb others’ practice. Therefore, Fang Yuan, Qu Qingning or other people would never disturb her at night.

But Gong Min was not in the martial arts circle…Well, there was no need for her to be angry with a child.

“In that case, come and sit down.”

Gong Min heard Su Li’s soft voice and felt relieved. She went over to sit opposite Su Li. She saw Su Li’s eyes that were not covered by the veil and could not help but feel safe.

Ms. Li, who had such beautiful eyes, must be a beautiful fairy. Compared with her, she was too ordinary.

Gong Min was in a daze and suddenly thought of that if she only talked to Su Li without worrying about anything, there was no need to suppress her upset.

With this in mind, Gong Min was firm, and then she suddenly said, “Ms. Li, would you like to hear a story?”

Su Li had a little interest. She looked up at Gong Min who looked serious, then she lowered her head. She said indifferently, “If you want to talk, then talk to me. I’ll listen. But I’m not sure if I’m going to help you. You must have a think.”

Gong Min felt happy and quickly said, “Thanks for your listening! I just feel a little harder on my own. It’s a great merit for me that you can help to cure my grandma. How can I dare to ask too much?”

Su Li gave a gentle hum and seemed completely unconcerned. But she was all ears. Gong Min’s eyes were gloomy and she gradually fell into her memories.

“The Gong family I remembered in my childhood was extremely warm. My father was severe but tender. My mother and brother were very fond of me. But everything had changed since my father married his second wife…”

In the cold night wind, the girl’s deep narration was like a melancholy ballad, which showed the tragedy of the world.

The sky was gradually grey at dawn in the east and it indicated that a new day had come.

In the top attic, Gong Min left with red eyes and a relieved smile. Finally, she did not have to hold everything in her heart. Although Ms. Li did not seem to be listening, she did not need to handle that all by her own.

After Gong Min disappeared completely outside the door, Su Li put down the file and fell into meditation.

Gong Min’s experience was very simple in her opinion. It was just that the Gong Family was disturbed by Wu Yun. Not only her mother was poisoned to death, but even her brother was convicted of so-called crimes and exiled in remote area. Gong Xiangjun was so angry that she left away from home with Gong Min. Then, the Gong Family became a safe haven for Wu Yun and her son.

Su Li experienced too much of these things in her previous life. In the martial arts circle, families were cruelly annihilated every day. She was used to it because she saw too much that relatives killed each other.

However, Gong Min’s narration helped her to solve the mystery that puzzled her in her previous life.

She did not know the specific reason why her disabled husband failed in previous life. Later, she had sneaked into Yunjing to investigate carefully. But she could not find out anything because the Wu Family destroyed too many clues.

However, in her careful and comprehensive investigation, she found something, as well as the doubtful points about the fall of the Gong Family.

Unlike other families that were slaughtered, the Gong Family was ruined by one person, a senior who was good at using sword in the martial arts circle. Among those dead people, there was a middle-aged woman who was died extremely miserably. Her face was distorted and her limbs were broken. She suffered extremely cruel torture before she died.

That mean was not commonly used in the martial arts circle, so she was very impressed. She had always suspected that it was her disabled husband who had hatred with that madam, so he took action personally. Now it seemed quite possible that it was the exiled First Master who had returned to take his revenge.

His mother, grandmother and Gong Min all died suddenly. That’s enough to drive the First Master crazy. He tortured Wu Yun to death and slaughtered the whole Gong Family, which had become a puppet for long.

Thinking of that, Su Li sighed slightly, “It’s really a tragedy in the world…”
