This was in the hall, and there were maids coming and going, but Li Xiangyu did not hide anything when she spoke.
However, when they heard the eldest lady's plan, not only her children but even her brother's expressions changed.
"Sister, absolutely not!" Li Shenhua frowned and tried to dissuade her. "I fought Su Yuechen last night. She's young and delicate, with a strange aura. Her bloodline even contains forbidden magic power, which is unfathomable. She's almost as powerful as mine. If you let her be adopted as your daughter, it would be like putting a hungry wolf next to your pillow. You won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight."
"Yes! Mother! That Su Yuechen has no respect for elders, is arrogant and domineering, and is simply insane!" Su Qingqing's face turned very embarrassed. She didn't want to be sisters with that despicable illegitimate daughter. "Mother, by letting her adopt you into your family, you're inviting a wolf into the house! Uncle and Grandpa are here, should we just kill that little bitch?"
Most people in the Su family saw the fight between Su Yuechen and Li Shenhua last night, including Su Qingqing of course. Seeing such terrifying strength, they felt not only envy and jealousy, but also an inexplicable resentment and unwillingness.
Why!
How could a mere maid's daughter be compared to a gifted son like her uncle?!
Such a genius that goes against common sense should be strangled in the cradle.
"Qingqing! This is the Su family. With so many eyes watching, who would dare to act rashly? You asked your uncle and grandfather to kill. If they succeed, it will be fine. But if they fail, it will immediately cause attacks from the other families." Li Xiangyu shook her head and whispered, "I have my own plans. There's no need for you to say anything."
Su Qingqing cried out in dissatisfaction: "Mother!"
Then he reached out and shook the long-haired young man next to him: "Brother, please persuade mother, she..."
"Alright, Qingqing, since mother dares to say so, it means she is confident. You don't have to give blind orders."
Next to her was the second son of the current lord, named Su Fu, who was a sibling of Su Qingqing from the same father and mother.
Su Fu then glanced at Li Shenhua beside him and advised, "Uncle, Mother never does anything without confidence, so you don't have to worry too much. Besides, after Su Yuechen was adopted, we have a legitimate relationship and a sense of righteousness. She wouldn't kill Mother in front of the Su and Li families. In the Yuehua Kingdom, privately killing a noble is already a serious crime, let alone matricide."
"In that case, as your brother, I won't try to persuade you any further, but you still need to be careful." Li Shenhua pulled out two jade pieces from his arms and stuffed them into Li Xiangyu's hands. "These are secret treasures used to save your life. They will be activated when you receive a fatal injury."
"Xiangyu."
Li Shenhua's father watched silently from the side, his expression unchanged, like a rock. It was only then that he spoke: "A daughter once married off is like spilled water. Now that you are a member of the Su family and have established yourself within the family, you have your own power and resources, but you should try to be more restrained in your behavior. If you act too domineeringly, you will attract more enemies than just Su Yuechen."
"As a father, I won't interfere with you in anything you do, but I also don't want to see anything happen to you. The Li family can help you once or twice, but we can't help you for the rest of your life."
He is the current head of the Li family. When he received his daughter's rescue signal, he did not hesitate and brought the masters of the clan here.
In front of this unmoved father, Li Xiangyu appeared very obedient. She nodded and said, "Father, your teachings are true. I will keep them in mind."
The head of the Li family nodded, then closed his eyes again, looking as if he was in a trance.
......
Inner area.
Xu Xianxian returned to the newly assigned large yard carrying a large pile of rare materials.
"Su Changyun is worthy of being the Su family's Grand Elder. He has a profound background and possesses so many precious treasures."
Xu Xianxian took out all the things and spread them on the table. From the various magical materials, she took out a young bamboo that was only as thick as her little finger.
This tiny bamboo is about the length of an arm, and is a deep blue throughout. It is divided into three sections: upper, middle, and lower. The color concentration of different sections is also different. The color becomes lighter as it goes up, almost to the point of being transparent, while the color becomes bluer and purple as it goes down.
If viewed from the perspective of a legendary creature, the entire blue bamboo is made up of star-like clusters of light.
"All these dozen secret treasures combined are not even one-tenth as valuable as this Star Blue Bamboo." Xu Xianxian sighed with emotion, rubbing her fingers over the damaged spots on the bamboo joints. "What a waste of natural resources! They didn't even use a special ice container to store it. No wonder... Su Changyun is not a Legendary Mage. He can't open his inner vision and can't discern the true nature of this Star Blue Bamboo at all."
She was also trying her luck and asked Su Changyun for some not-too-precious treasures and materials, but she didn't expect that she would get such a great bargain.
"But unfortunately, this thing can only be refined and used by the power of legendary creatures. It has the effect of enhancing authority. It is of no direct help to me now that my soul is severely damaged and my authority is exhausted."
Su Changyun didn't know the value of this thing and put it away randomly, but Xu Xianxian found it now and has no use for it at all.
It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. It is truly a worthless treasure.
A large amount of Dan Qi gushed out from her palm, and then gradually condensed into a solid state, wrapping the Star Blue Bamboo inside. "But this thing is very rare, I'd better keep it for now, just in case it comes in handy in the future!"
After placing the star blue bamboo, Xu Xianxian picked up the dragon-patterned purple jade and a jar of crystal clear green sap on the other side.
“Those two are the things that really work for me.”
Seeing these two things, Xu Xianxian's eyes were filled with undisguised joy.
These are amethyst chalcedony and the sap of the locust tree. Although they are not precious treasures, let alone comparable to the star blue bamboo, they are the most useful things to Xu Xianxian now.
Both of these items have the effect of repairing damage to the soul.
In fact, there are even more precious soul medicines in Su Changyun's treasure house, but in that situation, Xu Xianxian's suspicion has not been completely eliminated. If she takes the extremely precious secret medicine at the beginning, it will immediately arouse Su Changyun's suspicion, and then he will re-check and review it, and switch to other more direct soul detection magic.
In this way, her tricks on the Miroto Finger Plate might be exposed.
Xu Xianxian is not stupid. She understands that there are many ways to use the Su family. It will take more than a day or two to heal the trauma of the soul, so there is no need to rush.
"But having these two items is not bad. At least it can help me recover a lot of my true spirit."
She reached out and smashed the dragon-patterned purple jade, and the chalcedony flowing inside immediately dripped down, but under the guidance of her Dan Qi, it did not fall on the table, but was directly injected into the jar of green sap.
