Chapter 97 Immortal Master

Although cold wind whistled outside, the warm room was as warm as the spring because of the fire of the stove.


Yan Hongxiu pushed the door open and rushed in with her maid Huan. When she came in, her shivering body because of the cold weather instantly stretched. She glanced at Su Li who was sitting beside the teacher’s desk and snorted while returning to her seat.


The other seats were still unoccupied. Yan Hongxiu was the first to come.


The remaining four people got into the warm room before long. Jin Ruolan was still the last one, but she arrived on time in any case.


The other people immediately looked at Jin Ruolan askance when she appeared. There was a hint of coldness in Yan Hongxiu’s eyes. The rumors about the Jin Family were widely spread. They had never thought Jin Ruolan dared to attend class in such a sensitive period.


Jin Ruolan felt bitter. She didn’t want to have class at all, but she had no choice but come when she thought of Su Li’s methods last time. Even though her family had ordered her not to go out arbitrarily, she sneaked away from the back door to attend the class.


“Since all people are here, let’s begin the class.” Su Li, who was seating and taking a nap beside the teacher’s desk, lightly said, “Today we…”


Su Li was very familiar with the details of the Dahan embroidery skills. Gong Min and other people were intoxicated by them, but Yan Hongxiu who had never shown any interest in embroidery started to be absent-minded.


“Su Li may not know what a mess the world outside the school has been. She comes from a humble family, but she can depend on her professional skills to live a comfortable life in the school. She is happy anyway.”


Yan Hongxiu thought about it and looked helpless, “Since that old guy of the Jin Family became the supervisor of officials, the situation of our family had been worse and worse every year. If only I could share daddy’s cares and burdens.”


“The Third Brother said that the archery master is about to come. I have never seen a master with such airs and graces, who hasn’t showed for several days. I want to know whether the master has three heads and six arms or whether he is the Immortal. The Third Brother praised the master so highly unexpectedly…”


Suddenly, Su Li’s severe voice rang in her ears.


“Yan Hongxiu, what did I just say? Repeat it.”


Yan Hongxiu was dumbfounded. She saw that the straight-faced Su Li and Gong Min and other people were all looking at her, which made her instantly flush.


“I…”


“Stand aside to listen. Next time, go out!”


Su Li said lightly, but Yan Hongxiu couldn’t help but shiver when she saw the scene of ice and snow outside the room. She didn’t dare to be absent-minded anymore.


After class, Su Li gave the embroidery homework and immediately turned away.


Yan Hongxiu couldn’t help but directly sit down when she saw Su Li leaving. She rubbed her painful legs and thought with tears rolling in her eyes, “Su Li! Su Li! How dare you to treat me like this…”


“Miss, are you all right?”


Huan ran to Yan Hongxiu and lifted her up. The former couldn’t help waving fists and said angrily, “Su Li is over the line too much! Miss, let’s find someone to beat her.”


Yan Hongxiu instantly turned tears into smiles. She couldn’t help but touch Huan’s nose and said, “I can’t do that! I will become a female general in the future, so I must be impartial. It is fair enough that I should be punished because of distraction in the class. How can we pick on Su Li?”


Huan looked at Yan Hongxiu in astonishment as if she hadn’t known the person in front of her.


The miss had never talked in this way. Can the temperament of the miss become so good after the class in a few days?


Su Li stayed at the library after finishing the class for half of the day. She went back to the courtyard late in the evening. She became “Mr. Li” after finishing the dinner and slowly went to the martial arts field of the girls’ school in the night.


At this moment, Yan Hongxiu in thin martial arts costume was standing and trembling in the cold wind. She bitterly stared at Yan Ziye and said in discontinuous words because of the cold weather, “Third… Brother! Will the master you mentioned come? It is… is almost midnight! Do you want to freeze Xiu to death?!”


Yan Ziye’s face was also pale with cold, but he dared not say that it was midnight that he and Ms. Li had agreed upon. Because he couldn’t hold back his respect for an inborn master, he came a little… a little earlier.


Suddenly, Yan Hongxiu saw a figure in white cloth appeared behind Yan Ziye’s back. She was so scared that she nearly screamed out and startled people of the school. Fortunately, Yan Ziye had timely covered her mouth.


“Third Childe, is she your sister Yan Hongxiu? She is indeed very beautiful.” Mr. Li’s voice rang in Yan Ziye’s ears. The voice was so strange that it was hard to know his gender.


But Yan Ziye felt the voice was pleasant after he had heard it for a long time. Maybe the excellence of the inborn master had already deified the person in front of him.


Yan Hongxiu was full of doubts. She finally knew that the unexpected effeminate and stealthy man wearing a bamboo hat was the archery master that the Third Brother had found for her. She couldn’t help but point at Su Li and said angrily,


“Third Brother, who is he? He is a stealthily evildoer at first glance. Look at the master you have found for me.”


Yan Ziye was so scared that he was in a cold sweat on his head. He couldn’t help but scold, “Shut up! You should respect your master!”


Yan Hongxiu had never seen that the Third Brother was so angry. Her eyes instantly reddened and she said, “Third Brother, why are you shouting at me…”


Yan Ziye finally found out what he had done when he calmed down. He secretly scolded himself for being foolish, but he didn’t know how to comfort and explain to her for the time being.


At this time, Su Li chuckled and said, “Never mind, Third Childe Yan. Ignorance can be forgiven. Your sister just makes a careless mistake. There is no need to get angry.”


“I am brusque.”


Yan Ziye blushed with shame. He thought that the tolerance of an inborn master was indeed far better than that of the common.


Yan Hongxiu was strong more or less. She didn’t cry out loud but lifted down the bow from her back and gave it to Su Li with some difficulty. Then she said, “Since you are the archery master that the Third Brother recommended, then show me something good! If not… No matter who you are, you will never be my master.”


“Fourth Sister!”


Yan Ziye was about to say something, but it turned into a sigh in the end. He was afraid that the Fourth Sister wouldn’t understand the excellence even if he had told her that Ms. Li was an inborn master. For the Yan Family, the womenfolk’s knowledge about the martial arts circle was far less than menfolk’s…


“Is this the bow that your father gave to you?”


Su Li fetched the bow with one hand and carefully watched it. Her eyes seemed to suddenly brighten up and she exclaimed in a low voice, “It is indeed a psychic bow… Satrap Yan must dote on you to the extent that he gives you a psychic bow.”


Yan Hongxiu’s face became slightly reddish after hearing the words. She turned her head and hummed. “I will not be happy even though you praise me.” she thought.


But Yan Ziye slightly sighed. He thought that their father was constraining the Fourth Sister to do things that were beyond her power. Yan Hongxiu couldn’t open the bow in her life if she couldn’t make a breakthrough and reach the inborn realm, not to mention three years.


This year was the last year. The Fourth Sister would have to stay at home and wait for a man to marry her after this year.


I would never allow the Fourth Sister to become a sacrifice of the family.


Yan Ziye’s eyes became cold. He held the fist said to Su Li, “Mr. Li, I will leave my sister to your hand. She has only one year left. Although the request went too far… I hope you can help us so that my sister could fulfill her agreement with our father by then!”


“Brother, what are you doing?!”


Yan Hongxiu felt very angry when she saw her brother behave in this way. She curled her lips and said angrily, “Isn’t it a simple bow? I certainly can open it in one year!”


Yan Ziye shook his head and stared at Su Li.


Su Li moved her bamboo hat. It seemed that she was considering the possibility of the proposal. Before long, she shook her head and said, “Third Childe Yan, you don’t need to do this.”


Yan Ziye’s body swayed and he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.


Ms. Li wouldn’t promise him as expected… The martial arts circle had always maintained mutual noninterference with the imperial court. His request went too far.


“Although the Linli Building isn’t a big winery, we always keep our promise. Since we have made a deal with you, we certainly could fulfill it. The only possibility that we can’t fulfill the promise is that the Linli Building no longer exists. Are you satisfied with that?”


Yan Ziye was stunned on the spot when he heard the words. Did Ms. Li know what she had said? Somehow, he felt that it was an unrealistic lie.


“The Linli Building?” Yan Hongxiu heard the key words and stared at Su Li with shining eyes and said, “You are the boss of the Linli Building, the Mr. Li?”


Su Li slightly nodded and suddenly stretched out her hand backwards in the air!


“Whoosh!”


Yan Hongxiu saw an arrow automatically fall from the arrow holder to the recommended master’s hand when she was astonishment. The recommended master said, “Miss Hongxiu, there isn’t much time left for us. I will show you how to use this bow tonight!”


Su Li took a deep breath slowly. Then she placed the arrow and slowly opened the slivery bow without any stagnation.


“Buzz!!”


Full draw! The bow made a clear buzz as if it was happy. And a fluorescent light, which was bright as starburst, gradually appeared on the arrow point. It became bigger and bigger in front of the brother and sister and was actually brighter than the moonlight in this moment!


Clanging!!


Arrows were shot out like the meteor passing in sky. Besides the vibration of the bow, no sound could be heard.


The starburst disappeared and Yan Hongxiu woke up. She couldn’t help running to the target. She found there was a hole with the size of a fist in the center of the target. And the arrow couldn’t be seen because it was penetrated into the ground so deep.


“What kind of the archery is it?”


Yan Hongxiu stood in the cold wind with an astonished look. She couldn’t help but pinch her arm.


“It hurts so much!”


Yan Hongxiu lightly exclaimed with a hiss. Then she raised her head and saw Su Li, who was holding the bow with one hand, standing beside Yan Ziye. Her clear eyes immediately shined with boundless radiance, which instantly burned away her scorn and doubts. There was nothing left but admiration in her heart.


“Is she an immortal? Has my brother…found an immortal master for me?”


Yan Hongxiu immediately ran to Su Li’s direction with enthusiasm.


Su Li stood on the spot. She also felt strange. Some unknown starbursts appeared automatically and was integrated into the arrow when she opened the bow and shot the arrow.


She used the same strength, but this arrow was far more powerful than her previous strength the other day…


Yan Ziye was extremely shocked and saw it enthusiastically.


It was the inborn realm!


Mr. Li was an immortal person. Even his father didn’t dare to show any disrespect before him.


Mastering the fate by virtue of his own strengthen was the life that he had wanted.


“Immortal master, you are remarkable!”


At this time, Yan Hongxiu walked to Su Li from the target and directly kneeled down. She obediently apologized to Su Li and said, “Immortal master, forgive your apprentice’s disrespect just now. I will assiduously practice the archery with you so as not to damage your reputation!”


Although Yan Hongxiu was unfamiliar with the martial arts circle, what she had seen must be the truth. The person who could make the light appear on the arrow point must be better than her father in cultivation. She finally understood the reason why the Third Brother was so humble before Mr. Li, and finally knew his cares and thought. It was ridiculous that she contradicted with such a person.


She could only hope that it was still not too late to apologize.


“I have no intention to have you as my apprentice.”


At this time, Su Li’s words made her feel so sad that her aglow face immediately turned to pale.
