Chapter 70 This time it's her turn to steal Su Ying'er's things.

Ye Li looked around to make sure no one was watching before whispering, "Why didn't you say anything before speaking? What if someone heard us?"

Xie Sixing sensed her guilty conscience and laughed, "What, are you afraid that people will hear about your private dealings with this evil spirit, which will affect your reputation?"

What else?

Ye Li has always been well-behaved and law-abiding, but now she's involved with him. If word gets out, she'll never be able to face anyone again.

However, he deliberately spoke in a vague tone, as if they had some shady relationship.

"Thank you, Sixing!"

Hearing Ye Li grit her teeth, Xie Sixing laughed with great pleasure.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. Don't be nervous. Nobody else can hear me."

Is that amazing?

Hearing this, Ye Li relaxed a little. "By the way, what did you just say?"

"I said, didn't you want the Marrow Cleansing Pill? Why don't you just steal it from that Su Ying'er?"

Ye Li stood firm with righteous indignation, "How could a righteous person do such petty and despicable things!"

That is incorrect.

Xie Sixing said in a serious tone, "From what you've said, Su Ying'er is colluding with Ghost Face and is a person with malicious intentions. If such a person were to gain cultivation, wouldn't she become a menace to the region?"

Indeed, Su Ying'er is currently just a mere mortal, yet she has already turned the Lotus Sect upside down. If she were to gain cultivation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing that Ye Li had taken it to heart, Xie Sixing coaxed her gently, "So, when you took her Marrow Cleansing Pill, it was a good deed done on behalf of Heaven. How can that be considered stealing?"

Something felt off, yet it also made a strange sense of logic.

Ye Li's attitude was not as resistant as at the beginning. She hesitated and said, "But, marrow cleansing is not a small matter. If she loses her marrow cleansing pill, I will have a marrow cleansing pill. Then everyone will know that I stole it."

Xie Sixing clicked his tongue, "It's all because there are too few people in the Tianmen Sect who do bad things, making it difficult for others to even think about doing something bad."

Ye Li: "..."

As they were talking, Ye Li suddenly sensed someone around her.

"who!"

Wen Yao came out from behind the tree and looked at her intently.

When did he arrive? Did he hear what she was saying to Xie Sixing just now?

Ye Li's voice suddenly turned cold, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing her guarded and resistant demeanor, Wen Yao felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He said in a hoarse voice, "I heard everything."

Did you hear that?

Ye Li immediately became alert, and quickly recalled whether she had revealed her and Xie Sixing's identities.

“I heard Jiang Mengyao make sarcastic remarks to you.”

It turned out that Wen Yao was also present when Ye Li registered. He felt his heart bleed as he listened to his senior sister, whose cultivation was once unparalleled, being ridiculed by outer disciples for not even being at the Qi Refining stage.

How could his Ah Li have fallen into such a state...

But for some reason, he felt more sorry for Ye Li now.

He ignored her indifference and stepped forward, saying, "Your body needs a Marrow Cleansing Pill to cultivate, and only I can help you."

"No need."

Ye Li left after saying that.

"Hey, don't be lazy. He's practically offered himself up, so why not take advantage of it?"

Xie Sixing's sudden interruption startled Ye Li.

Did I ask you?

She gritted her teeth and said in a voice only she and Xie Sixing could hear, "I have decided to sever all ties with the Lotus Sect. I cannot accept their things."

"Young Taoist priest, you're being too old-fashioned. If they had suffered a loss and you had gained an advantage, then breaking off the relationship would be fine. But now you're the one who's lost out, and they've gained an advantage. Are you going to break off the relationship now?"

"Huo Huo, what's your name?"

Huo Huo: "What a vengeful spirit!"

Ah Jin: "Yes, Mother, it's not too late to break off the relationship after you've gotten everything you're owed."

Ye Li: That seems to make some sense.

So Ye Li, who had already taken a few steps, turned around and went back. "Uh, actually, it's okay to use it."

Ye Li's ears burned as she said this; she had never been so embarrassed in her entire life.

To avoid embarrassment, she immediately changed the subject, "However, the Marrow Cleansing Pill isn't with Su Ying'er."

Wen Yao didn't think much of it. Seeing that Ye Li had changed her mind, he said gently, "Junior Sister has always been understanding. Besides, you need the Marrow Cleansing Pill more than she does now. She will definitely give it up."

Su Ying'er had finally obtained the Marrow Cleansing Pill; asking her to hand it over would be tantamount to cutting off her flesh.

Ye Li curled her lips slightly, "Okay, then I'll wait."

-

Just as Ye Li had guessed, Su Ying'er was stunned when she heard Wen Yao ask her for the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

"What...? Third Senior Brother, you're going to give the Marrow Cleansing Pill to an outer disciple?"

She couldn't refuse directly, so she said tactfully, "Third Senior Brother, this Marrow Cleansing Pill is a medicinal material that Master personally requested from the pharmacy. If he finds out that it was given to someone else, he might blame us."

"If Master blames me, I will personally accept the punishment and will definitely not implicate you."

"this……"

Su Ying'er thought Wen Yao had really lost his mind. Just because Jiang Li looked a bit like Ye Li, he actually wanted to give her the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Did Jiang Li have some kind of bewitching magic?

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Wen Yao frowned. "You're unwilling? Do you still remember what conditions the pharmacy made when they gave us the medicinal herbs?"

On that day, in order to obtain the medicinal materials for making the Marrow Cleansing Pill for Su Ying'er, Master Qingyu "borrowed" Ye Li for three months.

In order to recoup its costs, Ye Li was so busy during those three months that she didn't even have time to sleep.

They ventured into various dangerous places to gather medicinal herbs, and upon returning, they had to use their spiritual power to feed several rare herbs, often leaving them covered in wounds.

Therefore, it's more accurate to say that Ye Li obtained these medicinal herbs in exchange for them, rather than Qingyu Zhenren requesting them back.

I'll return it to Ah Li no matter what.

Seeing that Wen Yao seemed to be questioning her, Su Ying'er's eyes immediately reddened. "Third Senior Brother, you've misunderstood me. I know how hard it is to obtain this Marrow Cleansing Pill, which is why I'm reluctant to give it to others. If Senior Sister knew that she had worked so hard for so long, only to give it to an outsider in the end, how heartbroken she would be."

Wen Yao blurted out, "Jiang Li, she is..."

He hesitated before speaking.

Since Ah Li refuses to acknowledge him, wouldn't it make Ah Li resent him even more if he revealed it?

Su Ying'er tentatively asked, "What is Sister Jiang Li?"

Wen Yao paused for a moment, then said, "She is my fiancée, and I have decided to marry her. Don't worry, if you give me the Marrow Cleansing Pill today, I will definitely return it to you in the future."

"..."

In the end, Wen Yao still took the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Su Ying'er's heart was bleeding when she handed it over, but she couldn't refuse.

Unlike Jiang Li, she originally had no spiritual root. After the marrow cleansing, she still needed to use the Spirit Forging Pill to reshape her spiritual root.

The best alchemist in the Tianmen Sect is Wen Yao. If you offend him, even if she holds onto the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it won't make a difference.

She could only say aggrievedly, "Since Senior Brother admires Sister Jiang Li, then Ying'er is willing to give up to her. I only hope that Third Senior Brother can get what he wants."

"Thank you, junior sister. I knew you were understanding and wouldn't refuse."

Su Ying'er nearly tore the handkerchief to shreds in her hands, her smile incredibly stiff. "Third Senior Brother, you flatter me."

After Wen Yao left, her smile vanished without a trace, and she angrily threw off her handkerchief.

Anyone who dares to take her things will pay the price!

She paced around the room.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on the ground.

Press the button, and a secret passage will appear.

Unbeknownst to anyone, there was a secret passage within the Tianmen Sect!

Su Ying'er walked down the steps with practiced ease.
