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 21 Bai Xiaosheng wakes up and personally identifies Su Ying'er!
Lu Ziting and the others immediately surrounded him, "Fourth Brother! You're awake!"
Everyone's face was beaming with joy, except for Su Ying'er, who remained motionless.
Her face was filled with terror as she staggered backward. How could this be? Bai Xiaosheng wasn't dead...
Ye Li coldly watched the flustered Su Ying'er. Once Bai Xiaosheng woke up, her true colors would be exposed.
On the bed, Bai Xiaosheng opened his eyes with difficulty. His gaze swept over Lu Ziting and the others before meeting that of Su Ying'er, who was huddled in the back.
His expression suddenly became agitated, and he was eager to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Fourth brother!"
Lu Ziting hurriedly channeled spiritual energy into him.
Ignoring his own health, Bai Xiaosheng pushed his hand away and pointed at Su Ying'er with all his might.
At this moment, everyone noticed something was wrong. Yuan Ce asked suspiciously, "Why is Fourth Senior Brother... staring at Junior Sister the whole time?"
Mo Hannian frowned. "Senior brother, is there something you want to say to junior sister?"
Bai Xiaosheng forced himself to sit up, pointed at Su Ying'er, and said, "It was...she who killed her..."
"Fourth Senior Brother!"
Just as Bai Xiaosheng was about to reveal the truth, Su Ying'er rushed to the bedside, crying out and drowning out his weak voice, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I only suffered minor injuries. Senior brother, you must get better, otherwise I... I can only go with you..."
She spoke while sobbing loudly.
Guided by her words, everyone assumed that Bai Xiaosheng was worried about her.
Lu Ziting said with emotion, "Fourth brother, thank you for protecting Ying'er. Don't worry, I will definitely report Ye Li's evil deeds to our master and avenge you. Just focus on recovering from your injuries."
Bai Xiaosheng froze for a few seconds, then he understood what was going on. He stared intently at Su Ying'er, wishing he could bite off a piece of her flesh.
Unfortunately, he was too badly injured to speak, and his head lolled to the side as he collapsed onto the bed.
Mo Hannian immediately checked his dantian. Although the spiritual energy was weak, he still had a breath left. "Fourth Senior Brother is still in danger. What should we do?"
After calming down, Lu Ziting thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and ask the third brother to come back."
Wen Yao of the Lotus Sect ranks third and is highly skilled in medicine. Even in the Heavenly Gate Sect, the number one sect for cultivating immortality, he is still one of the best. With him there, Bai Xiaosheng will definitely be saved.
Upon hearing Wen Yao's name, Mo Hannian and Yuan Ce exchanged a glance.
"Third Senior Brother, it's not because of Ye Li and you..." Mo Hannian glanced at Lu Ziting, "I'll go instead."
Ye Li frowned upon hearing this, because what was wrong with her?
Lu Ziting shook his head. "The third brother is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. You can't break his barrier. I'll go instead. You all stay here and take good care of the fourth brother."
Wen Yao was born into royalty, was gentle and kind, and had exceptional talent. He was the most worry-free among his fellow disciples.
But just six months ago, he suddenly disappeared.
According to Lu Ziting, Wen Yao went into seclusion to prepare for breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Ye Li was puzzled for a long time after hearing this. In the past, Wen Yao would come to say goodbye to her in person when he went into seclusion, but this time he left without saying goodbye at all.
It was a good thing that her junior was making progress, so she didn't think much of it.
Now it seems as if something happened that she was unaware of.
but……
Ye Li's eyes turned cold. Even if Wen Yao was in seclusion, he could still receive help requests. He was still one of those who ignored her pleas for help.

After Lu Ziting left, Su Ying'er looked at the unconscious Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, you should go and rest. I'll take care of Fourth Senior Brother."
Mo Hannian was aloof and not close to people, but when he was with Su Ying'er, he spoke very softly, "No need, you are still injured and you should rest. Yuan Ce and I are fine here."
"Yes, yes, junior sister, you should go and rest."
Bai Xiaosheng could wake up at any moment, so Su Ying'er dared not leave. She raised her handkerchief to wipe away her tears. "Fourth Senior Brother became like this because of me. I can only feel at ease when I see him. Fifth Senior Brother, you are not well. You should go back and rest first. Otherwise, if you get sick, I will feel even more guilty."
"I... cough cough cough..."
Mo Hannian started coughing as soon as he opened his mouth. His Gu poison had been flaring up from time to time these past few days, and he was indeed getting restless.
"Then I'll go back first. If Fourth Senior Brother wakes up, be sure to tell me."
"good."
Su Ying'er looked at Yuan Ce, "Sixth Senior Brother, why don't you escort Fifth Senior Brother? I'm worried about him going alone."
Hearing this, Ye Li finally understood what Su Ying'er was up to.
She's trying to get them all away so she can make her move on Bai Xiaosheng!
Fortunately, Mo Hannian refused, "No need, I'm not that weak yet. Let Yuan Ce stay and keep you company."
Mo Hannian spoke in a slightly cold tone, clearly the same tone Su Ying'er used to treat a cripple, which stung his pride.
Normally, Su Ying'er would have noticed, but right now she was focused on getting rid of them, so she not only didn't notice, but even intensified her words, "Fifth Senior Brother, don't push yourself! We all know your health condition. Now that Fourth Senior Brother has collapsed, if you collapse too, how will we all manage..."
That's enough.
Mo Hannian interrupted her abruptly, saying coldly, "Even if I die of illness, I won't cause trouble for others."
After saying that, he turned and left, clearly angry.
"Hey, that's not what I meant, Fifth Senior Brother..."
Su Ying'er didn't call out to him, feeling annoyed.
If she can't get Yuan Ce away, she has no way to make a move. If Wen Yao really cures Bai Xiaosheng, then everything will be exposed!
They will not only find out that she hurt Bai Xiaosheng, but they will also find out that Ye Li is already dead!
What should she do? What should she do?
Seeing the barely concealed anxiety on Su Ying'er's face, Ye Li knew exactly what she was thinking.
Actually, she also wanted to see what their expressions would be if they knew she was dead.
As time ticked by, Su Ying'er grew increasingly restless.
She would sometimes look at Yuan Ce, and sometimes look outside.
She drank cup after cup of tea until it was empty, then handed the teapot to Yuan Ce and said sweetly, "Sixth Senior Brother, the tea is gone. Could you please pour me some more?"
"Oh, okay."
Yuan Ce carried the pot out.
The opportunity has arrived!
Just as Su Ying'er reached the bedside to make her move, Yuan Ce returned, and she quickly withdrew her hand.
"Here you are, junior sister."
Yuan Ce, holding up the pot, asked, "Hey? What are you doing by Fourth Senior Brother's bedside?"
"I... I'll check if my senior brother is awake."
Su Ying'er's smile froze. "You poured the water so fast."
Yuan Ce thought Su Ying'er was praising him, and said smugly, "Of course, I'm in the late stage of Qi Refining. If you don't believe me, just watch, I can go even faster."
He grabbed the kettle again and ran off in a flash, quickly poured the water, and came back.
Su Ying'er gritted her teeth and praised, "Really amazing."
"That's nothing! I can be even faster!"
After going back and forth like this a few times, Ye Li could clearly see that Su Ying'er's laughter had taken on a sarcastic tone.
Wen Yao finally arrived when Yuan Ce returned from his last trip to fetch water.
Dressed in white, he looked more like a refined gentleman than a cultivator.
Upon seeing Wen Yao, Su Ying'er immediately shook off Yuan Ce and grabbed his arm, exclaiming, "Third Senior Brother, Ying'er missed you so much!"
Wen Yao smiled amiably, "Junior Sister Ying'er, it's been a long time."
He took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve. "This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill that I made for you during my seclusion. After you take it, you can wash away your original impure spiritual roots and start cultivating again."
Su Ying'er was overjoyed, "Third Senior Brother, you're so kind!"
Yuan Ce, ever impatient, exclaimed, "Third Senior Brother, hurry and go see Fourth Senior Brother! He's dying!"
Wen Yao noticed Bai Xiaosheng on the bed and immediately went to treat him.
Su Ying'er instinctively wanted to step forward, but Lu Ziting stopped her, saying, "Let's wait outside and not disturb Lao San's rescue."
