Chapter 36 Senior Sister is dead!

When Su Ying'er heard that there was only one incense stick's time left, her face stiffened.

Ye Li took in Su Ying'er's restless state, and at this point, she was no longer in a hurry.

They even wondered how Bai Xiaosheng would react when he told them about her death.

Will they applaud and cheer that she died a good death, or will they pretend to feel sorry for her?

"Fourth brother!"

Lu Ziting's excited voice interrupted Ye Li's speculation.

Bai Xiaosheng came out of the room.

His face was pale from the sunlight, and he looked thinner. Having just faced death, he was much more composed.

They were all fellow disciples who had grown up together since childhood, and they were all very happy to see him wake up.

They all rushed forward, asking, "How are you? Is anything bothering you?"

Bai Xiaosheng remained silent, his gaze sweeping across the crowd before settling on Su Ying'er.

Su Ying'er felt flustered, but she didn't show it on her face. She stepped forward with concern and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, you're finally awake. You have no idea how worried Ying'er was about you."

"Worried about me? You're more worried that I'm not dead!"

His voice, hoarse from not speaking for a long time, was filled with intense hatred: "Since you couldn't kill me last time, today is your death day!"

Bai Xiaosheng used ten times the spiritual power to attack Su Ying'er.

"ah!"

Su Ying'er turned pale with fright, "Help!"

This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard. If Lu Ziting hadn't reacted quickly enough to deflect Bai Xiaosheng's deadly attack, Su Ying'er would be dead by now.

Mo Hannian quickly checked Su Ying'er for injuries, then turned around and angrily rebuked, "Fourth Senior Brother, are you crazy? This is our junior sister!"

"What junior sister! She's a vicious woman!"

Bai Xiaosheng's eyes were bloodshot. "I'm going to kill her to avenge my second senior sister!"

After saying that, he raised his sword and stabbed at Su Ying'er.

"Help!"

Bai Xiaosheng came on strong, and the pent-up frustration from not being able to speak before completely erupted at this moment, and the others couldn't stop him for a while.

Just as the sword was about to pierce Su Ying'er's chest, Lu Ziting hurriedly stepped in front of her, shouting, "Fourth Brother! What are you doing!"

"I'm going to kill that bitch! If it weren't for her, Second Senior Sister wouldn't have died!"

"..."

The fact that she had died was revealed just like that, and Ye Li closed her eyes.

There is a kind of pain, and a kind of relief.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Wen Yao, who had been holding Bai Xiaosheng back, let go of his hand, his voice trembling, "Say it again! What happened to A-Li!"

Even protecting Su Ying'er, Lu Ziting disregarded everything else and said in a deep voice, "Fourth Brother, this kind of joke is not to be taken lightly!"

"I'm not joking, I saw it with my own eyes! You'll know the truth once I kill this wicked woman!"

"Su Ying'er! Prepare to die!"

Taking advantage of the group's shock, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly stabbed at Su Ying'er.

From Ye Li's perspective, Su Ying'er could have easily dodged the sword strike, but instead of dodging, she went straight for it.

"ah!"

With a piercing scream, blood gushed from Su Ying'er's chest, and her body collapsed limply.

"Ying'er!"

Lu Ziting screamed in agony.

Wen Yao immediately rushed over and pressed several acupoints on Su Ying'er's body, "Junior Sister, don't move!"

Su Ying'er shook her head weakly, her voice barely audible, "It's my fault... I failed to protect Fourth Senior Brother, leaving him severely injured and delirious. I deserve no regret in dying, but please, Third Senior Brother, you must heal Fourth Senior Brother. Only then will Ying'er die without regrets..."

Large swathes of blood stained Su Ying'er's pink dress. Her face was deathly pale with pain, yet her words remained as kind as ever.

This instantly dispelled any doubts that had just arisen in their minds.

How could such a kind and gentle junior sister be the murderer?

Lu Ziting felt so heartbroken he could hardly breathe. "Don't talk nonsense. This isn't your fault; it's Ye Li's fault."

Seeing her twist the truth like this, Bai Xiaosheng was furious. Pointing at Su Ying'er, he shouted, "You're lying! You're the one who injured me, and you even killed my senior sister! I'm going to kill you!"

"Get out of my way!"

Mo Hannian shoved Bai Xiaosheng away violently, "Junior Sister is a mortal, how could she hurt you? On the contrary, you not only fabricated the lie that Ye Li is dead, but you also tried to kill Junior Sister! What are your intentions?!"

Bai Xiao trembled with anger, "I'm not lying! Second Senior Sister was murdered the day she gave us the help-seeking talisman. If you don't believe me, come with me to the Mist Camphor Forest right now!"

He tried to drag Mo Hannian along to see it, but was immediately shaken off.

Mo Hannian didn't believe it at all. "If Ye Li was murdered that day, were the people who came back to pack her things ghosts? Bai Xiaosheng, I think you've really lost your mind!"

"No, that's not how it is. It wasn't Senior Sister who came back that day, it was Su Ying'er, yes, it was her!"

Bai Xiaosheng was so anxious that he couldn't speak coherently, "Su Ying'er admitted it that day, that she was the one who impersonated Senior Sister!"

"If you already knew, why didn't you say so that day?"

"I'm because..."

"Enough!"

Lu Ziting scooped up the unconscious Su Ying'er in his arms and said hatefully, "I don't believe a single word you said."

"Bai Xiaosheng, you have hurt my beloved today. I have no junior brother like you!"

"Guards! Send Bai Xiaosheng to the back mountain for confinement! He will be dealt with by Master upon his return!"

"you……"

Bai Xiaosheng looked at his fellow disciples, with whom he had spent every day, in disbelief; not one of them believed him.

The scene before him felt strangely familiar.

At that time, everyone was pointing fingers at Ye Li, while he was the one on the other side accusing Ye Li.

It was Su Ying'er who secretly took Yuan Ce out to play and was punished by her senior sister. He went with his fellow disciples to question her.

It was because Senior Sister was angry that Su Ying'er had poured out Mo Hannian's medicine that they all blamed her for making a mountain out of a molehill.

He had lost count; so many similar scenes had occurred over the past year.

Bai Xiaosheng's eyes were sore and swollen.

So that's how isolated and helpless my senior was back then.

Guilt extinguished Bai Xiaosheng's anger, and he calmed down.

"Sooner or later, you will all see Su Ying'er's true colors! You will regret how you treated your senior sister before!"

"..."

Bai Xiaosheng's words did not cause any ripples.

They were all checking on Su Ying'er's injuries. Wen Yao was treating her, Lu Ziting was channeling spiritual energy, and Mo Hannian was applying medicine. They were all extremely busy.

Only Ye Li noticed that Su Ying'er, who was "unconscious" on the bed, slightly curled the corners of her lips.

Therefore, Su Ying'er deliberately allowed Bai Xiaosheng to stab her just now.

Yes, if she were standing properly in front of them, they might calmly consider what Bai Xiaosheng said. But she was seriously injured, and they lost their rationality, only believing her as the "weak one" and her "last words".

Su Ying'er was far more difficult to deal with than she had imagined; Bai Xiaosheng's denunciation had not shaken her in the slightest.

It seems I can only rely on myself.

Once she breaks through to the Golden Core stage, she will be able to touch physical objects, and she will no longer be in such a passive position. She can personally present the evidence to them.

However, enlightenment is obviously much more difficult than cultivation.

She wants to let go, but what is she letting go of?

Ye Li looked up and quietly gazed at the waterside pavilions and terraces of the Lotus Gate.

She used to spend every day around this place and with her fellow disciples. She felt that the Lotus Sect couldn't do without her; if she left, the place would fall into chaos.

But now...

She looked around and saw that the sky and the land of the Lotus Gate were the same, and even the people of the Lotus Gate were the same.

In fact, the Lotus Sect doesn't need her at all.

She doesn't need this place either.

The feeling of tightness in my chest suddenly eased, and a warm current spread throughout my body.

A faint red light flashed between Ye Li's brows. Just as she was trying to grasp this feeling, a surprised voice sounded behind her.

"Ah Li?"
