C84 (2/2)

She was actually so dismissive of him?

”What if This King wants you to be unable to break the case within six hours?”

Su Li frowned, not being able to solve the case within six hours was equivalent to letting her die …

”Then I'll marry you!”

At the very least, he would be able to live first and then slowly torture him, causing his Fifth Prince's Mansion to become chaotic.

Mo Lianjin laughed. The hand that was holding her wrist suddenly tightened and returned the autopsy knife that they just robbed back to her.

Su Li originally wanted to stab him in the back, but in the end, she still let Changsheng put the blade away.

The two of them walked a few steps. At first, Su Li felt awkward, but now he slowly got used to it.

His thick hands were callused, and a little itchy as he rubbed them.

His skin was as cold as ever, without the slightest trace of warmth.

She couldn't help but be curious. How did he manage to survive the border trial? There were wars all year round, whether it was the covetous eyes of the great powers or the provocations of the small tribes nearby.

No wonder his hands were so rough, the muscles on his body so tight …

Cough … Everything was fine. Why would she want to go up there?

Su Li's face instantly flushed red. She glanced at him for a moment and finally heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that he had not noticed her embarrassed look.

”Last night's fire at the Yi Village …”

”It's not This King.”

”Even if you set up this trap to the limit, it would only shake a portion of the people to question the right of the gods. But if you take the wrong step, the abyss will be right in front of you. Is it worth it?”

”This King does not seek values, but does not seek regrets.”

Su Li wanted to say more, but the light fragrance of sandalwood assaulted his nostrils.

The fragrance permeated the air, as if it could pierce through a person's skin and directly seep into their soul.

Mo Lianjin stopped walking and let go of Su Li's hand.

The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, looking into the distance.

There was a pure white palanquin in the middle, and it emitted a solemn and divine aura. No one dared to look at it, and no one dared to defile it.

The carriage was filled with daoists. They were all wearing green robes and had expressionless faces.

As the light muslin fluttered, Su Li saw the person seated inside.

He was wearing white clothes and his expression was indifferent. Under the illumination of the sunlight, the red lotus on his forehead was dazzling and radiant.

It was the Imperial Advisor!

However, all she saw was that one glance, and the veil fell again.

The carriage didn't pass in front of the two, instead, it turned and headed out of the palace.

Su Li regained his senses first and looked at Mo Lianjin.

He happened to see the killing intent that flashed past his eyes.

She felt an inexplicable chill in her heart, so she quickly walked a few steps away from him.

Just now when he held her hand, she had almost forgotten that he was never a good person.

On the way out of the palace, Mo Lianjin didn't say a word, his expression was as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier.

Su Li wanted to ask several times what exactly the grudge he had against the State Grandmaster was, but when he thought about how his curiosity had killed the cat, he swallowed his words back.

When they arrived at the palace gate, it was so quiet outside that even a pin drop could be heard.

The Imperial Advisor's carriage stopped right in front of the crowd. The curtain was not raised, and only one Daoist was currently reading the letter in his hand.

”A calamity has come from the sky, evil spirits are committing murder, Lord National Advisor cannot bear to see you suffer …”

She wanted to continue listening, but Mo Lianjin grabbed her and pushed her into the carriage beside.

”Aren't you afraid of your ears getting contaminated even if you play tricks on us?”

Su Li glared at him but did not say a word.

He was right, he was indeed playing tricks on them!

Greenwood drove the carriage very quickly and arrived at the magistrate court in a short while.

The two of them got off the carriage and walked in.

Song Lai and Wang Quanan were present, but they had heavy expressions.

Su Li asked as soon as he opened his mouth …
