Chapter 158 Su Ying'er Betrayed by Everyone and Acts Like a Madwoman

Master Qingyu finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that, in a place unknown to others, Su Ying'er had been secretly helping Ye Li and Wen Yao to have an affair.

Moreover, all of this could very well have been orchestrated by Su Ying'er herself.

If that's true, it's clear how cunning this person is.

A disciple who plots against his senior sister and sows discord should absolutely not remain in the Lotus Sect according to the sect rules.

Su Ying'er knew that the situation was hopeless. Just as she was panicking, Lu Ziting knelt down as well, but not to plead for her. Instead, he told her the truth of what happened that day.

"I have something to report to my master."

Previously, out of consideration for his reputation as a gentleman, and because such a matter of forging someone else's handwriting was too shameful, Lu Ziting had kept quiet about it.

But at this moment, he finally came to his senses and was determined to clear Ah Li's name. He suppressed his shame and said, "Actually, the letter of heartlessness that Wen Yao received was written by me."

"What?!"

Wen Yao was stunned and exclaimed, "What did you say? That letter was clearly in A-Li's handwriting, how could it be written by you!"

Seeing the truth crash down on her like a collapsing house, Su Ying'er burst into tears. This time, she really cried. Forgetting about being pitiful or a beautiful woman shedding tears, she cried with a ferocious expression, tumbling and crawling towards Lu Ziting.

"No, Senior Brother, didn't we agree that this matter is a secret? You can't tell anyone, you can't!"

Lu Ziting already had a rift with her, and her crazy-woman-like appearance only made him more disgusted.

He pushed her away without hesitation and continued, "That day, Su Ying'er said she discovered that Wen Yao and Ye Li had a close relationship and led me to see it. When I found those filthy things, I wanted to confront Wen Yao immediately, but Su Ying'er said that once this matter became public, everyone would know that my fiancée was having an affair with someone else, and the entire Tianmen Sect would laugh at me. It would be better to tell them to break up first and then talk about it later."

Before Lu Ziting could finish speaking, Wen Yao gritted his teeth and said, "So, you wrote that letter?"

With things having come to this point, Lu Ziting nodded with difficulty, "Yes."

"Lu Ziting!"

Wen Yao rushed over, grabbed his collar, his eyes bloodshot, and roared, "Are you even a man? Instead of confronting me about this, you resort to such despicable means!"

Caught off guard by the punch, Lu Ziting was filled with rage and retaliated with a punch of his own, "You knew perfectly well that A-Li was my fiancée, yet you secretly seduced her. Is this the demeanor of a prince of the Snow Kingdom?!"

"It was my despicable act, but weren't you also infatuated with someone else? If it weren't for your letter, how could I have turned a blind eye to Ah Li's death!"

"..."

The two disciples, once revered and admired, are now fighting like street thugs.

Seeing the two of them rolling around in a mess, Master Qingyu frowned and said in a voice as if it were accompanied by wind and snow, "What kind of behavior is this! Stop it right now!"

Seeing that the two of them were only focused on fighting and wouldn't even listen to their master's words, Master Qingyu flicked his sleeve, and the surging spiritual power completely separated the two, sending them crashing into the stone wall on either side.

Master Qingyu said sternly, "Those who cultivate the Dao should have clear minds and walk the righteous path, but you harbor filth in your hearts and have even harmed your fellow disciples. What is your punishment!"

Wen Yao had already suffered a lot of torture in the water dungeon recently, and this blow from Qingyu Zhenren caused him to vomit blood continuously.

But he completely disregarded his own health, staggered towards Master Qingyu, knelt on the ground, and held up what he was holding.

"Please, Master, compare them. If these things do not belong to A-Li, then this disciple... is willing to atone with my death!"

He almost vomited blood when he said the last four words.

No one doubts the weight of these words.

Master Qingyu accepted it.

Su Ying'er's heart was in her throat when she saw this scene.

She looked at Mo Hannian with pleading eyes, hoping he would stop her.

But Mo Hannian only moved his lips, then fell silent again.

It's obvious that after all this, even Mo Hannian, the only one who firmly believed in her, has turned against her.

At this moment, they were no longer on her side. If it was confirmed that the words embroidered on it were not Ye Li's, then she would have completely lost the hearts of the people in the Lotus Sect.

Not only that, but they also have to be despised by everyone, just like Ye Li back then...

No, she'll be in a worse situation. She has no cultivation, and she doesn't have their years of relationship.

If she were expelled from the Lotus Gate, she would have to go back to living the life of an ordinary person!

What should she do? What should she do?

The cave was silent; everyone was waiting for Master Qingyu to make his move.

The only response they received was silence.

As Qingyu Zhenren remained silent for longer and longer, Ye Li realized something.

The item was clearly on him, but he hesitated to take it out because he had ulterior motives.

Because once it's confirmed, Su Ying'er can no longer keep this Lotus Gate.

Ye Li knew that Qingyu Zhenren prided himself on being aloof and arrogant, and she also knew that he was cold-hearted and indifferent.

Even though she had grown up under his wing, he did not hesitate at all when he expelled her from the sect.

At that time, they hadn't even misunderstood her yet. Just because she disobeyed her master's orders, he could expel her from the sect without hesitation.

But now, even though Su Ying'er has done such a thing, he hesitates.

Ye Li not only thought of herself, but also of Li Yuehua.

Even if it's a Daoist partner, he can still betray his own family for the sake of his so-called righteousness.

In the past, one could say he was impartial and incorruptible.

But if Master Qingyu were to make an exception for Su Ying'er, then all of this would seem ridiculous.

She didn't speak, but simply looked at Master Qingyu silently.

Just as Ye Li had thought, Master Qingyu did indeed hesitate.

During these days, he meditates in the Zongyuan Shrine, but his heart has never truly found peace.

Sometimes I see Ye Li being tortured to death, and sometimes I see Jiang Li's words: "Her soul has always been with you."

Whenever he thought of this, he felt his meridians were flowing backward, and he was vaguely showing signs of going into qi deviation.

For the first time in hundreds of years, he questioned whether the Way of Heaven he had always adhered to was correct.

If this is true, why would he lose his beloved and his most promising disciple as a result?

If he continues to insist, he will lose Ying'er as well.

Master Qingyu slowly looked at Su Ying'er, who was slumped on the ground. Her face was pale, and her gaze was pleading.

Seeing this, Master Qingyu's expression darkened.

Even without comparison, he already knew the answer.

He couldn't hide his disappointment. Although he used to think that Su Ying'er's character was far inferior to Yuehua's, she was still an innocent and lively girl.

But gradually, he discovered that Su Ying'er was not as innocent as she appeared on the surface, but rather harbored a despicable and vicious heart.

If he forgives Su Ying'er, wouldn't that ruin Qingyu Zhenren's reputation?

Thinking of this, Master Qingyu raised his hand, which was as flawless as bone jade. A flash of white light appeared, and the piece of clothing that Dahei had taken back that day appeared in his palm.
