2078 Mr. Su
At this point, the force that was stolen from her had exceeded the capacity a normal true god could tolerate. If not for her very rich amount of force in her body, she would’ve died from exhaustion.
However, the terrifying thing was… everything had not ended! There seemed to be a bottomless pit in the tomb that kept stealing her force!
Chu Liuyue closed her eyes. While she adjusted the aura, she kept thinking. What exactly is hidden inside?
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
The heartbeat sounds were as though right next to her ear.
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and opened her eyes again.
Below her palm, the originally dim area of the symbols engraved on the tomb was lighting up slowly. Clearly, that was because it absorbed her force!
Chu Liuyue’s lips suddenly curled up and smiled helplessly. “If I knew earlier, I should’ve come after I snatched the remaining holy weapons…”
If Mr. Su’s five holy weapons were all with her, she might not be suffering so much. But at this point, she could only think about it.
Chu Liuyue closed her eyes. The crowd outside probably all thinks that I’m accepting Tang Ke’s legacy. Who would’ve thought that I’m experiencing such a thing?
She completely understood that the Senior Tang Ke did this to lure her over!
There was probably no legacy. Now, she just hoped that she could go out unscathed!
“I wonder what relationship this Mr. Su has with him, to make him spend so much effort…” Chu Liuyue murmured in a low voice.
Ka!
A crisp breaking sound suddenly was heard.
Chu Liuyue was dazed and immediately turned around. The last darkened area on the symbols was finally completely covered by the light!
Whir!
In no time, light shone everywhere!
Chu Liuyue felt a tremendous amount of force suddenly rushing out of the tomb and going straight for her!
She was taken aback and immediately moved back!
This time, as the unknown suppression around her body finally dissipated, she moved back by quite a distance!
Chu Liuyue didn’t expect she could successfully retreat, and she looked at her palm in shock. S-separated?! That tomb—
She instinctively looked over and saw light gathering rapidly on the tomb. Then, it slowly formed a translucent figure!
It looked like a woman in her twenties.
She was dressed in a turquoise dress and had a slim figure. Her hair casually extended to her ankles, with only a silver hairpin with a red ruby.
Her five features were intricate and looked very beautiful. When she looked over, her eyes were like spring water—warm and gentle.
At first glance, one could tell that she was a very gentle woman.
She took a step forward, placed her hands on her stomach, and curtsied to Chu Liuyue. “Su Li thanks this lady for saving my life.”
Her voice was light and airy.
However, Chu Liuyue widened her eyes slightly. T-this…
“Mr. Su?!” asked Chu Liuyue in disbelief.
Su Li smiled, and two small dimples appeared beside her lips. “I wouldn’t dare. I will never forget your benevolence.”
She really is Mr. Su!
Chu Liuyue was as though struck by lightning. She gazed dazedly at the woman before her, while her heart was overwhelmed! Su Li! The rumored influential and outstandingly talented Mr. Su who could tie with Tang Ke is actually a woman!
…
Chu Liuyue spent a lot of effort to appease her overwhelmed heart.
She opened her mouth and did not know what to say.
In the many different rumors, nobody said that Mr. Su was actually a girl!
Everything happened too suddenly, and even Chu Liuyue was stunned.
All along, she thought that this Mr. Su was an old man or a strong middle-aged man… Yet, the beautiful and gentle woman before her was worlds apart from that thought!
“May I know your name?” Seeing that Chu Liuyue did not speak, Su Li thought that her sudden appearance frightened her. Thus, she spoke gently.
The other party saved her, so she should at least know her name.
Chu Liuyue then slowly found some of her rationality. “…Shangguan Yue.”
“Oh, so you’re Ms. Shangguan.” Su Li smiled and turned her gaze to look at the Celestial Shield beside Chu Liuyue.
Emotions instantly flashed across her eyes. “Ms. Shangguan, you came from Peach Blossom Dock?”
Chu Liuyue followed her vision.
With the Celestial Shield around, it was very normal for Su Li to guess this.
She tidied her thoughts and said, “Yes.”
“It seems like Peach Blossom Dock is now yours, Ms. Shangguan.”
Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment. “Mr. Su, how did you know?”
Su Li covered her lips and smiled. “The Celestial Shield has already recognized you as its owner, so Peach Blossom Dock is definitely in your reach.”
Chu Liuyue had long guessed that Peach Blossom Dock had some connection to the Celestial Shield. Hearing Su Li say this, she instantly confirmed her thoughts.
The battle between Su Li and Tang Ke back then was in Peach Blossom Dock, and her tomb was engraved with half the symbols on the Celestial Shield. It was very normal for her to know all of these things.
...
Chu Liuyue nodded. “Mr. Su, you’re indeed intelligent.”
Su Li laughed again. “Ms. Shangguan, you’re being too much of a stranger by calling me that.”
Chu Liuyue shook her head and smiled. “You’re a senior, and everyone addresses you as Mr. Su. I’m also used to addressing you as such.”
Even though the Su Li before her was magnanimous, gentle, serene, and calm, she didn’t forget that half of the ten holy weapons were made by her!
Such a person was definitely worthy of such an address.
Su Li’s gaze flickered as if she had immersed herself in a distant memory. After some time, she smiled slightly and sighed. “Back then, I disguised as a man to walk around the God Residence Realm, so—”
Hence, everyone misunderstood her true identity.
Chu Liuyue nodded in understanding.
Actually, she had already guessed this point.
Back then, Su Li battling Tang Ke itself was already shocking enough. If everyone knew that she was a woman, it would create more uproar.
As Su Li spoke, she looked guilty. “Speaking of which, just now… I didn’t want to forcefully absorb your force. Ms. Shangguan, please forgive me if I have offended you.”
...
Speaking of this, Chu Liuyue naturally had many doubts. “Mr. Su, you mean…”
She didn’t do all of that?
As if seeing through Chu Liuyue’s doubts, Su Li sighed softly and turned to look at the tomb. “Ms. Shangguan, do you know who set up the tomb?”
Chu Liuyue hesitated for a moment. “…Senior Tang Ke?”
Su Li nodded, and faint sorrow surfaced in her eyes. “In actual fact, he set up both the tombs. After the battle back then, my soul dispersed, but he lived. It was because of him that my soul is intact, and I hibernated till now.”
