The second senior sister of the Tianmen Sect, Ye Li, died.
On that very day, the entire sect ignored her pleas for help. They were celebrating the fact that the mortal girl Su Ying'er, wh...
Chapter 193 Su Ying'er also experienced the taste of being despised by everyone.
Upon hearing this, Su Ying'er, who had been trying to remain calm, instantly collapsed to the ground.
What she feared most at this moment was not the discovery of the three disciples' bodies, but the exposure of the Lord's Dark Realm!
If the Lord finds out, he will surely take her life!
The thought of this possibility made Su Ying'er's hands and feet turn cold, her whole body stiffen, and she couldn't utter any sweet words.
Seeing her like this, even Mo Hannian, who had originally wanted to speak up for him, sensed that something was wrong.
He turned Su Ying'er's shoulder, his expression serious. "Ying'er, is what they're saying true? Are the bodies of these three disciples really in your room?"
"I……"
Before Su Ying'er could speak up, Ye Li reminded her, "Yes, if we put them in the room, these three corpses will need a place to be placed. Where should we hide them so that they won't be discovered?"
"..."
Su Ying'er felt as if her throat was stuffed with cotton, unable to utter a word of defense, fearing that if she continued, Ye Li would reveal the secrets of the Dark Realm.
As the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Lu Ziting pointed to the third corpse, looking puzzled. "That's not right. Weren't there only two disciples who went missing that day? How come there are three corpses?"
Ye Li took out a disciple's token that symbolized his identity. "The third disciple is none other than Sun Yun, who has been missing from the outer sect for a long time."
"What?"
Upon hearing Sun Yun's name, the disciples began to discuss it animatedly.
"Didn't Sun Yun go down the mountain to go home?"
Several disciples who were familiar with Sun Yun said, "He disappeared without saying a word back then, which puzzled us all. We finally got into the Tianmen Sect as a disciple, so why would he give up so easily? It turns out he was killed by Su Ying'er!"
"That's not right. Su Ying'er has no grudge against Sun Yun, so why would she kill him?"
"..."
Every whisper from the audience filled Su Ying'er with immense panic, but whenever she tried to explain, Ye Li would look at her with a half-smile, as if she would reveal the secret of her room if she dared to deny it.
Su Ying'er's unusual silence made Master Qingyu frown.
However, like Mo Hannian, he did not believe that Su Ying'er would do such a thing as killing her fellow disciples, and thought that she was just cowardly and scared out of her wits.
“Ying’er, tell me the truth, and I will not let my disciple suffer injustice.”
But Su Ying'er, who was usually so eloquent, didn't dare to say a word, just like a mute.
Su Ying'er was hesitant to speak, fearing the consequences, and remained motionless with her shoulders hunched over.
Seeing her like this, Master Qingyu's gaze darkened. "Why don't you answer when I ask you another question?"
"Let me explain."
Ye Li broke the silence, "Sun Yun died because he saw something he shouldn't have. That day, Su Ying'er took advantage of Bai Xiaosheng's unpreparedness and used the Silver Lotus Bell bestowed by Master Qingyu to strike Bai Xiaosheng hard. Who knew that this scene would be witnessed by Sun Yun, who was traveling with him. Afterwards, Sun Yun was worried about his safety and went to Wen Yao."
As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar erupted below.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Wen Yao nodded, "That's right. When the fourth brother woke up that day, he said that Su Ying'er had hurt him. I had my doubts and wanted to ask Sun Yun for confirmation. The first time, Su Ying'er interrupted me, and the second time, he disappeared."
"He didn't disappear, he died."
Ye Li continued, "Like those two outer disciples, they were killed by Su Ying'er."
As each word penetrated his ears, Master Qingyu's expression turned icy cold, a layer of frost quietly covering his face. "What evidence do you have?"
"If Master Qingyu doesn't believe it, he only needs to examine the silver lotus bell in Su Ying'er's hand to find out the truth."
This kind of attack artifact can only be used once. After that, it is no different from an ordinary vessel.
Seeing Ye Li's confident expression, Master Qingyu knew that what she said was no exaggeration. A surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart, burning in his usually indifferent eyes. "Su Ying'er, bring out the magic weapon!"
"That magical artifact..."
Su Ying'er initially didn't want to take it.
Ye Li's words, "If you don't have it on you, we can search your room," startled him.
With trembling hands, she took the silver lotus bell out of her storage pouch.
"Here...here."
Mo Hannian's gaze fell on the magic artifact whose spiritual power had dissipated. His pupils contracted sharply in an instant, and he seemed to be frozen in place.
It turns out it was true! What Wen Yao said was all true!
In an instant, all his emotions were replaced by anger at being deceived. His eyes instantly became bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and he exuded a chilling aura of ferocity.
"It was you who hurt Fourth Senior Brother! It was you!"
The audience whispered among themselves, "My God! Su Ying'er is actually this kind of person."
"She seems innocent and lively on the surface, but she's actually so vicious behind the scenes."
"Having killed three people in a row, and even willing to kill one's own fellow disciples, one is truly unworthy of remaining in the Heavenly Gate Sect."
"What do you mean by keeping her in the Heavenly Gate Sect? She committed capital crimes and will definitely be sent to the Discipline Hall for punishment!"
The murmurs from the audience grew louder and louder. Facing those disdainful gazes, Su Ying'er's panic intensified, like a whirlpool slowly swallowing up everything that didn't belong to her.
How could this be? Isn't she the beloved junior sister? Aren't they all on good terms with her? Why aren't they speaking up for her, instead of saying these sarcastic things?
Will she be expelled from the Tianmen Sect?
Will I be expelled from the party?
She can't die, she doesn't want to die!
Su Ying'er was extremely tense, like a bowstring stretched to its limit. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white from the force, fine beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, and her eyes filled with panic and unease.
She never imagined that her future, which seemed so bright when she woke up this morning, would suddenly collapse in the blink of an eye.
Just as she was on edge, a furious shout rang out, "You vicious woman!"
Lu Ziting pointed at her nose and said, "I originally thought you were just a wicked person, but I never expected you to be so insidious and cruel to your fellow disciples! I will never marry a poisonous woman like you. Today I divorce you, and from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other!"
Seeing the twin swords still tied to her waist, he snatched them away, saying, "You are not worthy of these swords!"
His force was too great. Su Ying'er's legs were already weak from kneeling for too long, and she lost her balance and fell flat on her back.
"ah!"
At the last apprenticeship ceremony, Lu Ziting presented her with the Twin Swords in front of everyone and made a promise to her.
This time, however, she was abandoned by everyone, and even her twin swords were taken away!
Su Ying'er scrambled to her feet, her voice trembling with embarrassment. This time, she couldn't even cry anymore. She protested, "Senior Brother, you once said that no matter what happened in this life, you would never abandon me. Why are you treating me like this!"
Lu Ziting flicked his sleeves with a look of disgust, "You've fooled me! A gentleman is upright and honest, how could I associate with someone as lowly as you?"
"That's right, Senior Brother Lu is a well-known gentleman, how could he be deceived by you?"
"Brother Lu was right to divorce her."
Just as Lu Ziting had despised Ye Li and slandered her in every way, he now appeared righteous and dignified, clasping his hands in a fist salute to his disciples.
"Thank you, fellow disciples. I have always acted with integrity and will never be implicated by such a wicked woman."
If Su Ying'er had just tried to play the victim and get Lu Ziting to say a few words for her, Lu Ziting's current behavior finally brought her back to her senses.
She had always thought she was special, different from everyone else, but now she realized that she was no different from Ye Li!
