Chapter 85 Mo Hannian's Suspicion Arises Upon Meeting "Jiang Li"

As Ye Li walked, she listened to Sang Sang gossip.

Sang Sang said that ever since she discovered her top-grade spiritual root, Jiang Mengyao has been smashing things in the house every day and often cursing her, acting like a madwoman.

Not only that, during the days Wen Yao was imprisoned in the water dungeon, she dressed up in her finest clothes every day to deliver medicine.

As soon as Wen Yao saw her, he asked if Jiang Li had sent her, and inquired whether "Jiang Li" had been harassed by Qingyu Zhenren, which infuriated her.

Ye Li is no longer moved by such things. She really can't feel any goodwill towards people who accuse her of being unfaithful without even knowing her character.

Sangsang talked for a long time, but Ye Li didn't respond.

She quietly descended, linking arms with Ye Li.

Oh dear, she was indeed too weak.

Xiaoli is so amazing now, she'll definitely look down on her.

"Did Jiang Mengyao bully you?"

Turning her head, she saw Ye Li staring at her, though her face didn't show much expression...

But it doesn't matter! She definitely cares about her!

Sangsang was pleased and continued to hold her arm, saying indignantly, "Don't even mention it, that Jiang Mengyao..."

"Senior sister, what are you doing hiding here?"

Before Sang Sang could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a gloomy voice.

Mo Hannian had somehow joined the ranks of the outer disciples.

He ran so fast that the wind blew his straw hat over his face, and his gloomy eyes were fixed on Ye Li's back.

Sangsang's eyes widened in shock when she saw the black lines on his face.

Ye Li also noticed that it seemed his Gu poison had already invaded his heart and lungs.

She effortlessly broke free from Mo Hannian's grasp, turned to face him, and said calmly, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

Mo Hannian's pupils dilated slightly when he saw Ye Li's completely unfamiliar face.

How could it not be Ye Li?

He had clearly seen his senior sister's back just now; her eyes and her gait were exactly the same.

How could she not be?

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Su Ying'er and Lu Ziting followed.

"Fifth Senior Brother, what are you doing here? Are you alright after walking so fast?"

Seeing that Mo Hannian didn't respond at all and was staring straight at the person opposite him, Su Ying'er looked over with a puzzled expression.

It's ginger pear!

Upon seeing the culprit who stole her spiritual root and marrow cleansing pill, a hint of resentment flashed in Su Ying'er's eyes.

Then, in a light voice, she said, "Fifth Senior Brother, you haven't met Sister Jiang Li yet. This is the Jiang Li we told you about before."

Ginger and pear...

Ye Li...

How can their names be so similar? Could she be the reincarnation of my senior sister?

No, Ye Li's body has disappeared without a trace. Even her master said that Ye Li escaped with her body and disappeared along with Ghost Face. She didn't die at all.

Could it be that she used some kind of human skin mask?

Without a second thought, Mo Hannian reached out to Ye Li.

Before he could touch Ye Li, his wrist was grabbed.

It's Wen Yao.

He glanced at Ye Li with restraint, suppressing his longing, and said, "Xiao Wu, this is Junior Sister Jiang Li. We've all met her before. Stop making a fuss."

If Wen Yao hadn't stopped him, things would have been fine, but his intervention only fueled Mo Hannian's suspicions.

Wen Yao was clearly deeply in love with Ye Li and had been longing for her for many years, so how could he fall in love with Jiang Li as soon as he saw her, and even give her the Marrow Cleansing Pill?

Seeing that the surrounding disciples were all looking over, Mo Hannian didn't make a sound and said stiffly, "Sorry, I made a mistake."

While saying this, his eyes were fixed on Ye Li, making her extremely uncomfortable.

However, Mo Hannian said he had admitted his mistake, so he probably didn't suspect anything. Besides, even if he did suspect something, it wouldn't matter, because she was definitely Jiang Li now, and no matter how he looked at her, he couldn't find any flaws.

Kuangshagang

When the Tianmen Sect group arrived, the entrance was not yet open, but there were already quite a few Daoist cultivators outside.

Besides the Tianmen Sect, other sects also came, and even the Medicine King Valley sent people.

In addition, there are a number of independent cultivators from minor sects.

It is clear that the appearance of the mythical beast caused quite a stir.

Seeing so many people, Su Ying'er felt nervous and tugged at Lu Ziting's sleeve.

"Senior Brother, there are so many people looking for spirit beasts. What if the spirit beasts are stolen?"

Seeing the unease on her pretty face and the timid fingers clutching his clothes, Lu Ziting felt a strong urge to protect her.

He held her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. If you don't trust others, don't you trust your senior brother? Besides, a hundred people from the Heavenly Gate Sect have come. They will definitely be able to help you bring the spirit beast back."

Su Ying'er was relieved and smiled sweetly, "Senior Brother is so kind."

She looked at the other disciples, gave a graceful bow, and said, "Then Ying'er thanks all my fellow disciples in advance."

The implication was clear: he already considered the spirit beast his own, and anyone who caught it would have to hand it over.

Disciples from both the inner and outer sects dared not challenge a direct disciple, and among the direct disciples, the Lotus Sect held the highest esteem. Everyone knew that Master Qingyu doted on this young disciple, so for the time being, no one dared to directly refuse.

Just as everyone was looking at each other in bewilderment, someone spat out a curse.

"Pah!"

Nie Hongye pointed at Su Ying'er and started cursing, "You think you can make us work like slaves for you with just a thank you? Do you think everyone in the world is a sucker like Ye Li?!"

Ye Li, suddenly struck by a blow to her heart: "..."

Su Ying'er's eyes immediately reddened. "Sister Hongye, I misspoke. I am not as outstanding as my fellow disciples. I am just a mortal without spiritual roots. If I didn't have a spirit beast, I probably wouldn't be able to stay in the sect. That's why I was a little anxious. I apologize to everyone."

It has to be said that Su Ying'er has a talent for playing the victim.

Her beautiful face was filled with sorrow, her eyes brimming with tears, and she bowed gracefully.

As expected, her pitiful appearance once again garnered sympathy from many.

"Junior Sister Ying'er, don't be sad. We all know you're not that kind of person."

"Yes, and besides, Master Qingyu said that whoever catches a spirit beast will be given a generous reward, so it's not like they're working for free."

"That's right, Senior Sister Nie's words were too harsh. Didn't you see that Junior Sister Ying'er was crying?"

"Shut up, all of you!"

Nie Hongye shouted angrily.

She wasn't buying Su Ying'er's act at all, pointing her finger at her and saying, "If you're bad at cooking, practice more! If you're not good enough, go home! Nobody's going to put up with you!"

Su Ying'er was stunned by the scolding, and looked at Lu Ziting with teary eyes, "Senior Brother..."

Seeing his beloved being bullied, Lu Ziting frowned and said, "Ying'er is just a weak woman, why are you forcing her like this? If you're unwilling to help, then..."

"Then let's each use our own methods and catch our own."

Lu Ziting wanted to say that he wouldn't let Nie Hongye help, but before he could finish speaking, Ye Li naturally chimed in, giving Lu Ziting no chance to regret it.

She looked at Su Ying'er, whose face was stiff, and said, "Besides, everyone knows that Junior Sister Su is kind and lovely, so naturally she wouldn't force anyone, right?"

Other close associates, who also didn't want to benefit others, echoed, "Indeed, let's do it that way then."

Seeing that the situation was settled, Su Ying'er almost bit her teeth to pieces.

It's all Nie Hongye's fault for meddling!

Just as someone was about to say something about saving the situation, someone pointed into the distance and exclaimed, "The entrance has opened!"

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed towards the entrance, and Ye Li was no exception.

Su Ying'er watched Ye Li and Nie Hongye's retreating figures. "Fine, since you dare to come, I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

Let you taste the effects of Mo Hannian's Gu poison!
