Chapter 67 Ah Li, I'm willing to marry you!

Ye Li frowned; Wen Yao was even more perceptive than she had imagined.

However, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Lotus Sect anymore, so she couldn't admit it and said indifferently, "I don't know what you're talking about."

When she denied it, Wen Yao felt as if her heart had been clenched, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze.

Ah Li's unwillingness to acknowledge him stems from her unwillingness to forgive him.

He truly doesn't deserve her forgiveness.

She died such a tragic death that even her body could not find peace after death.

And the culprits behind all of this are him and them.

If he hadn't held back because of his ridiculous pride, Ah Li wouldn't have died.

She has every right to blame him.

Wen Yao's tone was bitter. He wanted to raise his hand to touch her face, but restrained himself and left it there.

“Ah Li, I know you hate me, and I hate myself too, for not protecting you. You can ignore me, but can I help you get a checkup? There can be rejection reactions from possession, and I'm afraid you'll get hurt.”

As he spoke, he tried to touch her.

Ye Li took two steps back, her expression cold.

"Can't you understand me? I've already said, I'm not Ye Li. I don't know you at all and have no connection with you. Please don't come looking for me again."

As soon as I turned around, someone hugged me tightly from behind.

Ye Li tried to break free, but Wen Yao was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, which was not something Jiang Li, who was in the Qi Refining stage, could contend with.

If she used her own spiritual power, she would be completely exposed.

He had one hand on her shoulder and the other on her waist, their bodies completely touching.

This unfamiliar intimacy made Ye Li extremely uncomfortable, and she shouted sharply, "Wen Yao! Let go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, hot tears fell onto her neck.

Wen Yao is crying?

He was of noble birth, gentle in his manner, and never showed his emotions.

At this moment, he not only hugged a junior sister from the outer sect without any regard for others, but also shed tears.

Wen Yao held the person he had lost and found tightly, "A Li, don't be afraid. No matter what you become, my feelings for you will never change. I won't mind that you have mixed spiritual roots in this body. I can marry you, I can help you cultivate, and I can forget everything from before."

"Ah Li, please give me a chance to make it up to you."

It was the time when the outer disciples went out to gather herbs and cultivate. When they saw Wen Yao, one of his personal disciples, running to the outer sect and holding onto "Jiang Li" tightly, they were all dumbfounded.

Ye Li's ears turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Wen Yao, you may not care about your reputation, but I do! Let go of me!"

But Wen Yao had finally won Ye Li back, so how could he possibly let her go?

He feared that if he let go, Ye Li would disappear again, and he would never be able to find her again.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Ye Li stopped talking and directly drew her sword to stab.

Wen Yao couldn't dodge in time, and his arm was slashed, the blood instantly soaking his white clothes.

He stood there stunned, his face full of astonishment and confusion.

He couldn't believe that Ah Li had actually hurt him.

Mingming, Ah Li used to take such good care of him and feel sorry for him, and she wouldn't even let him lift a finger to tend the medicinal herb fields.

How could she possibly stab him with a sword?

The pain in my heart is a hundred times worse than the pain in my arm.

So much so that his voice was weak, "You hurt me."

Seeing Wen Yao's deeply affected expression, Ye Li found it all laughable.

She wasn't this half-dead even after her limbs were broken and her inner core was removed, so what's with his hypocritical act?

She said coldly, "You offended me in public, do you expect me to be polite to you?"

"But I..."

Wen Yao wanted to express his feelings, but facing the gazes of the disciples who were watching the spectacle, he could only suppress the emotions overflowing in his chest.

His voice lowered a few decibels, "Han Nian's poison has spread throughout his body. If we can't find the Heartbreak Grass within a month, he won't survive. Don't you want to see him one last time?"

He thought that Ah Li had always been concerned about Mo Hannian's health when they were at the Lotus Gate, and that she would definitely go back to the Lotus Gate with him when she heard that Mo Hannian's life was in danger.

He leaned forward, already prepared for her to walk with him.

Ye Li remained motionless, her face showing no emotion whatsoever.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Wen Yao was stunned.

What's the connection?

He tried to discern any pretense in Ye Li's expression, but there was none; she showed no sign of worry.

She truly didn't care about Mo Hannian's life or death.

How could this be? Could it be that she isn't Ah Li?

"If there's nothing else, I need to go to Kongshan Gate to sweep and clean. Farewell."

"..."

Wen Yao's firm belief began to waver.

So much so that when Ye Li left, he only opened his mouth but didn't utter a sound.

-

Mo Hannian only has one month left.

It was both reasonable and unexpected.

Ye Li had considered that Mo Hannian's body would soon give out due to his current lifestyle, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

After all, the last time I saw him in the camphor forest, he wasn't this badly injured.

She had already made up her mind to ignore everything about Mo Hannian, but when she heard that his life was coming to an end, she still felt a strange mix of emotions.

After all, he's been raising his junior brother for so many years. Even raising a cat or dog would create feelings, let alone a person.

That's precisely why Mo Hannian's actions chilled her to the bone.

Thinking of the sword Mo Hannian stabbed into her chest, Ye Li's eyes turned cold.

He aimed that sword at her to kill her.

She had taken care of him for many years, but he only believed Su Ying'er's one-sided story and accused her of colluding with evil spirits. Even when she was attacked from all sides, he dealt her a fatal blow.

Even if she still had any lingering feelings for Mo Hannian, they were all severed by his sword.

Mo Hannian is Mo Hannian, and she is herself.

Whether he lives or dies is none of his business.

Ye Li stopped in her tracks.

She was standing in front of the gate of Kongshan. There were two strangely shaped artificial mountains in front of the gate. At first glance, they looked like stones, but upon closer inspection, they were made of soil.

Earth, without the Qi clan.

As long as she didn't find out who the masked man was, it felt like a knife was hanging over her head.

Right now, the most likely candidate to be the masked man is Chu Wei.

Ye Li was assigned to water the flowerbeds. While drawing water from the well, her gaze swept over the courtyards of Kongshanmen.

Unlike the ethereal atmosphere of the Lotus Gate, this place exudes a simple and rustic charm.

She glanced at the largest room and asked the outer disciple planting flower seedlings nearby, "Senior brother, this room looks more spacious than the others, what's it for?"

"Oh, you mean this place? This is Sect Master Chu's courtyard."

Could there be any clues at Chu Wei's residence?

Seeing that Ye Li was staring intently, he reminded her, "Sect Master Chu's residence is never open to outsiders. He can be quite frightening when he gets angry. You must not go and provoke him."

Ye Li seemed to understand something, then politely said, "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother. I'll remember it."

Yeah, right.

As night fell, after Ye Li fell asleep in her room, her soul left her body and headed straight for the Empty Mountain Sect.

They were blocked by a barrier as soon as they arrived at Chu Wei's courtyard.

Chu Wei's cultivation level was higher than hers, and she tried but could not break through.

Now that she has reached the Nascent Soul Realm, her soul has spiritual veins, unlike before when she could freely travel to different places.

The Tianmen Sect has a mountain-guarding formation, and each inner sect has disciples guarding it. Why would Chu Wei go to the trouble of setting up a barrier here?

Could it be that there's something here that's not meant to be seen by others?

Just then, I heard footsteps behind me.

Chu Wei has returned.

He didn't notice Ye Li in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, he opened the barrier.

Ye Li's eyes lit up, and she quickly followed him inside.

I slipped inside just a second before the barrier closed.
