Chapter 138 Lu Ziting suspects Su Ying'er wants Ye Li dead

Lu Ziting was startled, feeling as if his temple had been struck heavily by a hammer.

If Ying'er didn't want to bump into Jiang Li, then it was... Ye Li!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Li's gaze lingered on him briefly before shifting away, and she smirked, "Back then, you were all so indignant. I thought you really cared about Ye Li's life and would make Su Ying'er pay the price. Now it seems that it was all just talk."

Although Master Qingyu angrily ordered Su Ying'er to move to the inner sect that day, no one mentioned it again afterward.

After all, "Jiang Li" is not Ye Li. At most, it was just a matter of almost injuring an outer disciple. Even the punishment for Su Ying'er was raised high but put down lightly.

But Jiang Li was right. Although it wasn't Ye Li who fell, Su Ying'er mistook her for Ye Li when she bumped into her.

She bumped into Ye Li as well.

Was she really doing it on purpose...?

Lu Ziting's heart trembled at the thought of that possibility, and he unconsciously raised his voice, "No! Impossible! Ying'er is so kind, she would never do such a vicious thing! The situation was critical at the time, and it's possible that Ying'er wasn't paying attention for a moment. Why do you have to keep bringing it up?"

Ye Li didn't argue with him, but just smiled sarcastically, "That really must have been difficult for Su Ying'er. With such a delicate body, it's a miracle that she could still unleash such great strength and accurately knock me down."

"you!"

Lu Ziting wanted to say something more, but Ye Li was too lazy to listen to his flimsy explanations anymore, and turned to follow the group from the Sky Mountain Gate.

Unable to vent his anger, Lu Ziting returned home with a grim expression that lingered for a long time.

Seeing this, Su Ying'er immediately stood up and asked with concern, "Senior Brother, what's wrong? You look unhappy."

"It's not Jiang Li! She..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Ziting seemed to remember something. He looked at Su Ying'er's pale face, which was slightly tanned from the sun, and suddenly couldn't finish his sentence.

Not only that, but his gaze towards Su Ying'er also held a hint of suspicion.

Ying'er was always delicate and frail, unable to lift heavy objects, but that day, she managed to knock Jiang Li, a Qi Refining stage disciple, off the formation, showing that she used all her strength.

At that time, they all believed that Ye Li had possessed Jiang Li, so as long as she fell out of the formation, she would be doomed.

No, she's already fallen.

If Jiang Li is really Ye Li, she would already be dead inside the formation.

Is Ying'er really that ruthless?

Seeing that Lu Ziting remained silent, Su Ying'er had a bad feeling. She tugged at his sleeve and said softly, "Senior Brother, why aren't you saying anything? You can tell Ying'er anything."

Lu Ziting looked at Su Ying'er with a complicated expression. "Ying'er, did you really accidentally knock Jiang Li down that day?"

Su Ying'er didn't expect Lu Ziting to bring up the old matter again. A fleeting look of panic crossed her eyes, but she quickly filled them with tears, her eyes glistening. "Senior Brother, don't you believe Ying'er? In your eyes, is Ying'er such a vicious woman?"

“No, that’s not what I meant, it’s just…” Lu Ziting hesitated, “You clearly bumped into Jiang Li that day, but when Master asked you afterwards, you said that you were pulled down. I really can’t understand why you would lie.”

"Ying'er is... too scared."

Su Ying'er's head drooped to her chest, her neck hunched, looking as pitiful as an abandoned little animal. Her voice trembled as she said, "Senior Brother is such an outstanding person, but Ying'er has nothing and can't do anything. I know I shouldn't be jealous of Senior Sister, but Senior Sister has had you for so many years for nothing, and I'm really scared. If Senior Sister comes back, you won't want me anymore."

At this point, she raised her tear-streaked face and said, "I admired my senior brother too much and always got stuck on things. Isn't that kind of Ying'er annoying?"

No man doesn't love a woman who admires and adores him, especially a delicate beauty like Su Ying'er.

Lu Ziting's doubts vanished instantly, and he hurriedly pulled Ke Ren into his arms. "How could Senior Brother dislike you? You are the woman I want to spend my life with. From now on, you are not allowed to have any more wild thoughts or do anything foolish."

"Um."

Su Ying'er nestled in Lu Ziting's arms, her heart just beginning to settle, when Lu Ziting's next words sent her into her throat.

Lu Ziting sighed, "I'm talking about you too. I felt the same way. Because I saw a few of Ye Li's things at Wen Yao's place, I felt that she had betrayed me. Even though there were so many suspicious points, I still believed her."

Su Ying'er was unaware that Wen Yao had taken out those private items for Lu Ziting to identify. Upon hearing the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.

She looked up from Lu Ziting's embrace and asked cautiously, "Suspicious points? Wasn't this matter already settled? How can there still be suspicious points?"

Lu Ziting didn't notice her unusual behavior and naturally told her what Wen Yao had said before.

Finally, he sighed, "If I really misunderstood Ah Li, then I really am, sigh..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the deep sorrow and longing in his words struck Su Ying'er like a thunderclap.

How could this be? Why would Wen Yao take those things out?!

The reason she so brazenly used this method to sow discord that day was because she was certain that Wen Yao, as a prince, was well-educated, reasonable, and gentle, and would never seek confirmation from Ye Li, much less have the nerve to bring out those things.

But she never expected that Wen Yao would completely tear off his mask just to find out the truth.

This is obviously extremely disadvantageous for Su Ying'er, not to mention how much they will regret and pity Ye Li after they realize they misunderstood her.

Just take Wen Yao's "relationship" with Ye Li as an example. Ye Li's instigation played a significant role in it. If this matter comes to light, they will definitely find out that she was the one who interfered.

At that time, where will she have a place in the Tianmen Sect?

Seeing Su Ying'er's face growing paler and paler, and even starting to tremble, Lu Ziting asked in confusion, "Ying'er, what's wrong?"

"I……"

She tried to suppress her fear and said stiffly, "I think what you said is right, Senior Brother, but I don't know how to verify it."

Su Ying'er was just saying it casually, but Lu Ziting took it seriously and patted her head, "Don't worry, Master has a corner of A-Li's Taoist robe. When Master comes out, we'll know by comparing them."

"What?!"

Su Ying'er was shocked. Seeing the doubt on Lu Ziting's face, she pinched her fingers tightly to calm herself down. "What I mean is, that's great. I really... can't wait to know the truth."

"..."

However, after Lu Ziting turned around, a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

What should she do? What should she do?

She's already been caught lying several times, and if they investigate further, she'll definitely be exposed.

What should she do?
