Chapter 128 Ye Li has been by their side ever since her death.

However, Ye Li doesn't care what Qingyu Zhenren is thinking right now.

What she wanted was for Elder Song not to be implicated in today's events.

She looked around at the group and said, "The reason for today's events is that Master Qingyu and the Lotus Sect judged me to be a possessor without distinguishing right from wrong, and forcibly brought me here. Do you agree?"

Mo Hannian moved his lips as if he wanted to refute, but the facts were right in front of him, and he had no reason to refute them.

Ye Li nodded, "If you don't speak, I'll take that as your agreement. So when Elder Song destroyed the formation with the Thunder Pearl, it was because he didn't want his disciple to die unjustly. Therefore, the Lotus Sect must bear the full responsibility for the destruction of the Heavenly Fate Hall, and you are not allowed to cause trouble for the outer sect afterwards."

Regardless of the circumstances, destroying the Heavenly Gate Sect's sacred ground is a sin. Even if Elder Song meant well, the fact that she destroyed the patriarch's formation along with that wisp of divine consciousness without even a word is ultimately a troublesome matter.

If you can shift the blame, then do so.

Elder Song was satisfied with this condition.

The Lotus Sect has always been a revered entity, and it is clearly unacceptable for them to bear such a stain now.

Su Ying'er couldn't help but say in a timid voice with a nasal tone, "It was clearly Elder Song who did it, so why blame it on our Lotus Sect..."

"good!"

Mo Hannian said sternly, "If you say we misunderstood you, we'll accept that, but we absolutely refuse to accept the fact that the Heavenly Mandate Hall was destroyed!"

Mo Hannian now seems to be Su Ying'er's yes-man, agreeing with whatever Su Ying'er says without hesitation, which surprised Ye Li.

She sensed that something else must have happened during her time away from Tianmen Sect, which made him not only not have any disagreements with Su Ying'er for lying to them about going to Moon White Lake, but also make him protect Su Ying'er even more.

However, this is not the time to talk about this. Faced with Mo Hannian's sophistry, Ye Li simply nodded, "What you said is right. It wasn't you who made me fall, it was Su Ying'er, right? Then if you are willing to hand over Su Ying'er and let us deal with her as we see fit, you won't have to bear the blame."

Su Ying'er turned pale with fright and kept hiding behind Mo Hannian, "Brother, Ying'er is so scared."

After comforting Su Ying'er, Mo Hannian said angrily, "You're dreaming! We would never hand over our junior sister to a place like the outer sect!"

Ye Li had anticipated this. "So you're saying you won't admit your crimes or hand over the people, and you want to bully others by relying on the reputation of the Lotus Sect and the status of True Person Qingyu?"

"you!"

Just as Mo Hannian's expression had darkened to the point of being dripping with anger, and he was about to take action, Master Qingyu suddenly spoke up.

"I grant your permission."

"Master!"

Mo Hannian wanted to say something more, but Qingyu Zhenren glanced at him, so he had no choice but to retreat unwillingly.

Master Qingyu stepped forward slowly, staring intently into Ye Li's eyes, and said without hesitation, "I can take responsibility for everything in the Heavenly Fate Hall."

Ye Li felt uncomfortable under that gaze that seemed to peel away her skin, so she looked away and gave a perfunctory bow, saying, "Then thank you very much, Master Qingyu."

However, just as Ye Li was about to leave with Elder Song, she was blocked by an unknown force, and at the same time, Qingyu Zhenren's voice, as sharp as a cold wind, rang out from behind her.

"But I have another question to ask."

Ye Li felt a chill run down her spine for no reason. She didn't turn around, but simply tilted her head to the side. "Master Qingyu knows everything. Is there anything you need to ask me, an outer disciple?"

"Since you say you are not Ye Li, then why have you been standing up for Ye Li all this time, including just now?"

Master Qingyu was clearly not as easily fooled as his fellow disciples; he keenly perceived the crux of the problem.

Ye Li froze.

At the same time, Qingyu Zhenren's voice grew closer and closer, and the shadow on the ground almost overlapped with hers, like an invisible mountain pressing down on her.

“As an outer disciple, you have no connection with Ye Li, yet you get incredibly excited every time Ye Li is mentioned. Not only that, you also harbor hostility towards everyone in the Lotus Sect.”

Master Qingyu stared at Ye Li's tense profile, his tone unreadable, "Ordinary disciples all aspire to join the Lotus Sect, but you are not. In fact, you seem to dislike everyone in the Lotus Sect. Before the Marrow Cleansing Pill incident, you had never even been to the Lotus Sect. If you are not Ye Li, why would you act this way?"

Ye Li clenched her fists at her sides. She had been dragged down by them for half her life and lost her life. How could she not feel disgusted?

If she were Ye Li, everything would be understandable; but if she were just an outer disciple who had only recently joined the Heavenly Gate Sect, then all of this would be somewhat illogical.

Sure enough, after being analyzed by Master Qingyu, they all sensed that something was amiss.

Especially Wen Yao, who was still grieving, stumbled over, wanting to get closer but not daring to. With red eyes, he looked at Ye Li's back and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you really A Li? I beg you, tell me."

Seeing that Ye Li hadn't turned around, Mo Hannian said sternly, "Speak! What kind of shady business do you have with Ye Li! Are you a human or a ghost!"

Master Qingyu slightly raised his hand to stop them, then said calmly, "You should know where Ye Li is, right? Or have you reached some kind of agreement?"

"..."

That's hilarious.

As soon as she shows even the slightest flaw, they feel like they've turned the tables. They don't feel guilty about her death, but instead question her with righteous indignation. When they find the right opportunity, they'll plunge her back into the abyss of self-inflicted suffering.

They wanted solace in their conscience.

But she refused to give them to them!

Therefore, when faced with their questions, Ye Li no longer avoided them, but took a deep breath and slowly turned around.

"You ask me why I stand up for Ye Li, and why I hate you all?"

At this moment, the setting sun, like blood, fell on her cheeks, revealing a sense of desolation and loneliness.

She looked at these people she had once considered family, but in the end they all became knives aimed at her.

If we're talking about hatred, she hated the masked man ten parts, but she hated them twelve parts!

At this moment, Ye Li no longer concealed her true emotions. Her hatred was completely undisguised, piercing the hearts of each of them and causing a strange pain to well up in everyone's hearts.

Mo Hannian suppressed his anger and said coldly, "If you know, why don't you hurry up and tell me! What exactly is your relationship with Ye Li!"

Ye Li twitched her lips. "We don't have any connection, but I saw Ye Li's vengeful spirit, her eyes wide open in death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

It was the time when night and day were fading away, and the distance was hidden in darkness, leaving only the dim light in front of them.

Mo Hannian shivered violently and scolded, "Stop playing tricks! If you don't tell me, I'll make sure you never have to say another word."

Ye Li ignored his anger and instead laughed, but the laugh was tinged with a sinister edge. "Haven't you seen it? After Ye Li died, her ghost has been right beside you all."
