Chapter 14 It wasn't me who killed you, it was the Lord!

"What are you doing!"

Lu Ziting, completely oblivious to Ye Li's serious injuries, frowned and asked, "Junior Sister has just entered the sect, why did you send her to the back mountain to gather herbs?"

Ye Li used her sword to support herself, barely managing to stay upright. "The back mountain is beneficial for cultivation, so why can't we go there?"

"Do you know that Junior Sister fell down the mountain and sprained her ankle? If I hadn't come back in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. If Junior Sister really can't walk anymore, Ye Li, how will you compensate her?"

Ye Li's gaze shifted from Lu Ziting's arms, which were tightly holding Su Ying'er, to his face, which was filled with suppressed anger. Despite being someone she had spent decades with, he felt incredibly unfamiliar to her.

Su Ying'er nestled in Lu Ziting's arms, clutching the fabric of his shirt, and said softly, "Senior Brother, I'm fine. I believe Second Senior Sister didn't torture me on purpose, so let's not blame her."

When Lu Ziting faced Su Ying'er, his expression softened. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

As Lu Ziting carried Su Ying'er away, Ye Li suddenly asked, "Senior Brother, do you remember that we're supposed to become Daoist partners next month?"

Lu Ziting turned his head, his expression unpleasant. "Of course."

"What do you mean by asking that? My relationship with my junior sister is completely open and honest. As her senior brother, shouldn't I care if she gets hurt? Or does it mean that if I become your Daoist partner, I have to abandon all my family and fellow disciples and just revolve around you?"

"Ye Li, you are being far too selfish."

"..."

Ye Li was stunned by the scolding. Selfish? Was she really selfish?

She had reflected on herself.

Over the years, she has always taken care of her junior brothers. Perhaps Lu Ziting's care for Su Ying'er was only out of camaraderie among fellow disciples.

Lu Ziting and she grew up together; she shouldn't think of him in a dirty way.

until……

She witnessed Lu Ziting give the twin swords to Su Ying'er.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that his anger was not because of her suspicion, but because she had guessed correctly.

-

At this moment, Ye Li coldly watched as Su Ying'er and Lu Ziting embraced and whispered sweet nothings to each other.

Only when Su Ying'er was panting heavily did Lu Ziting patiently help her straighten her loosened clothes.

Su Ying'er grabbed his hand, her eyes filled with seductive charm, "Senior Brother, you don't need to hold back, Ying'er is willing to give herself to you."

Lu Ziting's throat bobbed, and his voice suddenly went hoarse. "Ying'er, I haven't dissolved my engagement with Ye Li in person yet. It's not the act of a gentleman to ask for you at this time."

Su Ying'er shook his neck and said coquettishly, "We'll do it secretly, no one will find out."

The warm, soft body nestled in his arms, and she was so proactive, completely different from Ye Li, who always adhered to etiquette.

Lu Ziting couldn't resist kissing her delicate red lips again.

Su Ying'er responded immediately. The reason she was so eager was because she was afraid that something might go wrong in the future.

If it were just Bai Xiaosheng by himself, she was confident she could hold him off. But then there's Nie Hongye; what if she discovers their relationship...?

I might as well consummate our marriage today. That way, even if Lu Ziting finds out the truth and regrets it, it will be too late.

The two kissed passionately; the man who had once sworn a lifelong vow was now kissing another woman with the same lips that had uttered his promise.

Ye Li felt nauseous.

If it weren't for the fact that souls can't communicate with people, she would definitely call the entire sect to come and see what her so-called "upright and dignified" senior brother really looks like!

If he is truly as open and honest as he claims, then how did he manage to fall in love with Su Ying'er when he became her Daoist partner?

After several years of being together, Ye Li found their actions increasingly blatant and felt it was offensive. Just as she was about to avoid them, Lu Ziting restrained himself and pushed Su Ying'er away.

"No, Sakura, we really can't do this."

Su Ying'er's clothes were half off. She didn't expect Lu Ziting to stop at this moment. She said aggrievedly, "Senior brother, is it because you still think about Second Senior Sister and know that she will be back the day after tomorrow, that you don't want to have any physical intimacy with me?"

She pretended to stand up and looked back at him over her fair shoulder. "It's okay, Senior Brother. If you can't forget Second Senior Sister, I won't bother you. I'm willing to give you to Second Senior Sister."

This tactic of retreating to advance proved effective. Lu Ziting quickly pulled her into his arms again. "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Since I'm with you, I'll be devoted to you. If I'm holding you and thinking about someone else, what kind of person would I be?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Li's heart grew even colder, so he knew that what he was doing was wrong, and that he had only been pretending to be confused before.

Lu Ziting, unaware of the presence of a third party, earnestly promised, "Ying'er, don't worry, after the engagement is dissolved, your senior brother will be with you every night."

Su Ying'er blushed and nestled back into his arms. "What if we don't find Second Senior Sister by the day after tomorrow? Do I have to keep waiting?"

"this……"

Lu Ziting hesitated.

In fact, Ye Li had already been expelled from the Tianmen Sect, so he could have unilaterally dissolved the engagement.

But the thought of Ye Li covered in blood in his dream filled him with a strange sense of panic.

That kind of panic made him feel that he needed to see Ye Li to feel at ease.

Seeing that Lu Ziting didn't speak, Su Ying'er turned away and wept, "I knew you were just trying to comfort me."

With the beauty heartbroken, Lu Ziting had no time for anything else and immediately compromised, "How about this, regardless of whether you find Ye Li or not the day after tomorrow, we'll become Daoist partners and never be separated again, for all eternity, okay?"

Although Su Ying'er was anxious, she couldn't insist anymore since things had already gone this far, so she could only nod.

-

Late at night, Su Ying'er was taking a bath in the bathroom.

Ye Li took the opportunity to check if there was anything unusual in Su Ying'er's room.

Pale yellow bed curtains, ivory white bed, dressing table...

Ye Li looked through them one by one, and suddenly her gaze fixed on one of the wardrobes.

In the depths of her being, she sensed a familiar presence behind it.

Peeking through the cabinet door to investigate, this is...

Twin swords.

As Ye Li approached, the once quiet twin swords began to flash red, their tassels swaying like a puppy's tail.

It was clearly a sword, but Ye Li sensed that it was... happy?

Ye Li tried to reach for the twin swords, and the moment she touched the hilt, the female sword shone even brighter.

At the same time, she was surprised to find that her hand did not go through the sword, but instead gripped the hilt firmly.

She tried to pick it up, and the sword burst out of the cabinet.

"ah!"

A scream came from behind.

Su Ying'er stared in horror at the strangely floating twin swords and retreated repeatedly.

"who!"

"Who is it!"

The twin swords had been acting strangely multiple times, which had already made Su Ying'er uneasy. Now, seeing the swords emerge from the cabinet as if they had come to life, her fear was palpable.

Realizing that the sword originally belonged to Ye Li, Su Ying'er stammered, "Second...Second Senior Sister, are you a spirit? This sword was given to me by Senior Brother, please don't blame me."

Only the dead can manifest miracles.

Ye Li frowned. Now everyone in the Tianmen Sect believes that she has betrayed the sect. How does Su Ying'er know that she is already dead?

What does she have to do with her death?

Without further hesitation, Ye Li flicked her wrist and immediately raised her hand to stab Su Ying'er.

Su Ying'er screamed, "Ah! Help!"

With her life at stake, she stammered, "Every wrong has its perpetrator! It wasn't me, the Lord, who killed you! I just wanted to exchange something for something!"
