Chapter 145 Ye Li Uses a Little Trick to Find Out Su Ying'er's Secrets

Chu Wei said in a low voice, "Because of this sword bone, I have been invulnerable to swords and spears since I was a child. Because of this ability, I was sold many times. The last time, they made me pretend to be a strange beast and keep me in a cage for people to play with. That's when my master appeared. She said she would buy me for 10,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Ye Li was slightly surprised, "So generous?"

No wonder Chu Wei remembered Li Yuehua's kindness.

Chu Wei shook his head, and when he spoke again, there was a barely perceptible smile in his tone, "She didn't even have ten spirit stones. As soon as that person opened the cage, she took me and fled."

Ye Li couldn't help but chuckle, "That's really something, always taking the unconventional path."

“I asked my master why she saved me. She said I had a strong constitution and could take a beating. If I encountered someone I couldn’t beat, she could leave me behind to clean up the mess.”

Chu Wei's smile faded slightly. "That's just how my master is. Although she's unruly, she's kind-hearted. So, I absolutely don't believe she would harm her fellow disciples. For so many years, I've been investigating the truth of that day."

“Until yesterday, I discovered that my master is still in this world.” He suddenly looked at Ye Li as he said this, “and he’s right beside me.”

That sharp gaze made Ye Li's spine stiffen.

Just as she thought Chu Wei had discovered something, the candlelight in the room suddenly went out.

The next second, Ye Li felt everything around her vibrate.

"Sect Master Chu?"

Ye Li subconsciously called out Chu Wei's name, but received no response.

When the lights came on again, she was shocked to find that she was no longer in the bedroom.

But she clearly didn't move. Could it be that the house was moving?

Ye Li looked around.

This time it was a study, and again there was no exit.

Just as she was about to look around, she suddenly heard a trembling voice.

Is anyone there? Is anyone home?

Ye Li peeked out through the gap in the bookshelf and saw that it was none other than Su Ying'er, with Lu Ziting lying on the ground, half-conscious.

It's truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

Judging from her panicked appearance, she must have entered the room by accident, just like her.

But she seemed much more frightened, and kept pleading, "I really didn't come in on purpose this time, it has nothing to do with me."

After Su Ying'er entered, she didn't dare to look closely and had no idea that there were other people there, unintentionally revealing that she had been to this mansion.

Ye Li had always been suspicious of Su Ying'er's background, but Su Ying'er was cunning and cautious and never revealed any flaws.

This is a good opportunity.

Outside, Su Ying'er was unaware that she was being watched. She was holding Lu Ziting's unconscious body and looking around in fear.

Just as she was feeling apprehensive, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind her.

“Su, Ying, and Er, you have trespassed here. Do you know your crime?”

Su Ying'er was already on edge when she heard this, and her knees buckled, causing her to kneel on the ground.

"Ying'er, I know my crime! Please don't kill me!"

Seeing that she was only focused on begging for mercy, Ye Li thought for a few seconds, then used her inner strength again, and said in a deliberately low, hoarse voice, "Do you remember what I told you when you came here last time?"

This is indeed a risky statement, but such an opportunity is too good to pass up.

If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to trick her, and miss this chance, Su Ying'er won't be so obedient.

Fortunately, upon hearing the question, Su Ying'er didn't notice anything strange and nodded hurriedly, "I remember, I remember. When I accidentally wandered into this place before, the Venerable Lord not only didn't kill me, but also guided me and branded me with a birthmark, allowing me, a mere mortal, to enter the Heavenly Gate Sect. Ying'er is extremely grateful!"

Ye Li suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

Su Ying'er's entry into the Tianmen Sect was indeed premeditated.

First, she deliberately used the moon mark to attract Qingyu Zhenren's attention, making him think that Su Ying'er and Li Yuehua had a close relationship, and then made an exception to accept her as his personal disciple!

After clarifying the situation, Ye Li's voice deepened, "Then, have you done what I asked you to do?"

Su Ying'er was taken aback upon hearing this. She raised her lowered head slightly, her expression showing a hint of surprise and probing. "You mean, the matter of sowing discord between Ye Li and the Lotus Sect, and sending her to the Misty Camphor Forest? Didn't Ying'er already take care of that?"

Sensing Su Ying'er's suspicion, Ye Li immediately rebuked, "How dare you! How dare you question me!"

Su Ying'er's initial suspicion vanished instantly, and she knelt on the ground again, filled with fear and unease. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not question you."

Although she managed to keep Su Ying'er calm, Ye Li knew that if she continued to ask questions, she would definitely be exposed.

So she didn't speak again. Just as she was about to return to her body, Su Ying'er suddenly kowtowed in the direction of her voice.

"Please, Your Majesty, let me out! I still have parents and siblings; I really can't die!"

Ye Li was somewhat surprised. Parents and sisters?

Su Ying'er's parents were both murdered, leaving her homeless, which is why she was brought back by Master Qingyu, right?

This is one of the reasons why Lu Ziting and the others felt sorry for her.

A year ago, when Su Ying'er first entered the Lotus Sect, Lu Ziting and his fellow disciples did not actually welcome her.

After all, they had all gone through numerous trials and tribulations to enter the Lotus Gate, while Su Ying'er was not only brought back directly by True Person Qingyu, but was also just a mortal. They were all unhappy about this.

Not only that, Yuan Ce and the others were unhappy because Ye Li had to be distracted taking care of her, and they even went to make trouble for her.

However, upon learning that Su Ying'er's parents and relatives had just died tragically, and that she herself was also in poor health due to injuries, she could no longer be too harsh on her.

With Su Ying'er's methods, they quickly went from being resistant to feeling sorry for her.

Even Ye Li initially felt sorry for her misfortune and took extra care of her.

Upon hearing that her family was not only unharmed but also living well in this world, Ye Li's gaze suddenly became meaningful.

If his fellow disciples knew that the junior sister they had spent the whole night comforting and doing everything they could to make her happy had been lying to them all along, what would they think?

However, before exposing her, we must not alert her; we should wait until we find her family before making any further plans.

Just then, the once quiet study became dark again.

This time, Ye Li was prepared and immediately took out a magical artifact for illumination to observe.

Therefore, runes were discovered on the ground.

The strange patterns flickered a few times, and the surroundings changed once again.

Having found the key, Ye Li immediately gathered spiritual power in her palm and struck the ground.

The immense turbulence brought the shifting room to a halt.

Half of it is a study, and the other half is a kitchen.

It was as if they were stuck together, and at the same time, the runes of the formation emitted an eerie light.

"ah!"

Upon seeing this, Su Ying'er cried out in alarm. She knew that if she didn't go to the next room soon, she would be torn to pieces in these two rooms. She immediately lifted her skirt and ran towards the kitchen.

She was running so fast that she completely forgot about Lu Ziting.

She didn't even notice that Lu Ziting, who should have had his eyes closed, was staring intently at her back.
