Chapter 90 Mo Hannian recognizes Ye Li and confronts her.

Ye Li looked up and met Mo Hannian's familiar, cold gaze, exactly the same as when he used to look at her.

he……

"Look over there! Isn't that Senior Brother Lu?!"

Looking over, everyone saw two people, one lying down and one standing, on a relatively low sand dune in the distance.

Su Ying'er, who was standing, was frantically swinging Lu Ziting's sword, but she still couldn't stop the sandworms from attacking.

After Wen Yao and several inner disciples rescued them, both of them were covered in wounds from sandworm bites. Their tattered clothes were stained with blood and sandworm slime, a rather colorful sight.

The disciples unconsciously stepped back.

"Senior Brother, wake up! If something happens to you, Ying'er won't be able to survive either..."

Ye Li understood from Su Ying'er's cries.

Su Ying'er couldn't hold on any longer and fell into the swarm of insects. Hearing her pitiful cries, Lu Ziting, who had been hesitant, finally rushed over.

But by then, Su Ying'er had already been carried hundreds of meters away by the rioting sandworms.

By the time Lu Ziting found her, the two of them were already in the very center of the insect swarm and had no way to escape.

If it weren't for finding an opening and Lu Ziting using his body to shield Su Ying'er, Su Ying'er, who had no spirit body, would have long since turned into a lump of minced meat.

While Wen Yao was doing his best to save Lu Ziting, Su Ying'er knelt beside him and cried pitifully, "Senior Brother, you are the first disciple of the Lotus Sect, with a bright future ahead of you, how could you be so foolish!"

"Senior brother, open your eyes and look at me..."

Her crying was so sincere and moving.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, someone couldn't bear it and comforted her, "Junior Sister, don't be too sad. Senior Brother is at the Golden Core stage, he'll be fine."

"Yes, you two have such a good relationship, your senior brother wouldn't bear to abandon you."

Faced with these words of comfort, Su Ying'er sobbed for a while, then turned her gaze to Ye Li.

"The eldest brother said that it was Sister Jiang Li who insisted on leaving first. If she had waited for us, the eldest brother wouldn't have fallen into a coma."

Mo Hannian's voice was cold, "That's right, if it weren't for some people being afraid of death and disregarding their fellow disciples, we could have left together without any casualties."

Despite being so heartbroken that her body was trembling slightly, Su Ying'er still shook her head and tried her best to speak up for Ye Li, "Fifth Senior Brother, please don't say that. Sister Jiang Li probably didn't mean to kill us. Please don't blame Sister Jiang Li."

"..."

Su Ying'er used this trick often when facing Ye Li. As long as she said it in a humble and conciliatory way, the people around her would immediately condemn Ye Li on her behalf.

Then she can stop everyone, not only without having to say a word, but also gain a reputation for kindness and virtue.

A flash of hatred crossed Su Ying'er's eyes.

If it weren't for Jiang Li coaxing everyone to abandon them, she wouldn't have suffered so much, and Brother Ziting wouldn't have been seriously injured.

Such selfishness deserves a lesson!

Just as Su Ying'er was waiting for everyone to help her criticize "Jiang Li", none of the surrounding disciples spoke up. Instead, the gazes they gave her were filled with something unspeakable.

However, Su Ying'er has always been well-liked, and with Lu Ziting's fate still uncertain, no one dared to say anything.

Sangsang, however, had no such concerns and muttered, "You're really overthinking it. Who would blame their savior? We were just a hair's breadth away from death."

As she spoke, she pressed the pad of her little finger, "If we had waited for you to come back, we would have been eaten and defecate by the sandworms long ago. Besides, if you hadn't run around in the middle of the night, we wouldn't have been delayed for so long."

"shut up!"

Mo Hannian interrupted Sangsang sharply, "How dare you, a mere disciple, offend your junior sister? Apologize to her now!"

Sangsang shrank back, clearly somewhat afraid of the direct disciple.

"I'm sorry..."

Just as he was about to back down, someone blocked his way.

Ye Li looked at Mo Hannian, "Can't a disciple with a formal title tell the truth? Or is it that, apart from direct disciples, we don't even have the right to live?"

Sangsang quietly chimed in, "That's right, that's right."

"you!"

Just as Mo Hannian was about to say something, his clothes were tugged.

"Fifth Senior Brother, don't argue over Ying'er."

Su Ying'er looked at Ye Li with red eyes, her voice trembling, "Sister Jiang Li, you misunderstood me. I wasn't running around randomly. I just saw some pretty flowers blooming across the street, so I picked some for everyone."

As she spoke, she took out a bouquet of flowers from her storage pouch.

The petals are layered upon layered, the outer layer resembling an orange-red hue dyed by the setting sun, while the red becomes purer the further inward one goes.

As she said, she was exceptionally beautiful.

In the past, Su Ying'er often gave these little things to her fellow disciples: feathers from magical beasts, wreaths made of spiritual herbs, or small purses she sewed herself.

Everyone who received it praised her for being skillful, innocent, and lively, and they liked her even more as their junior sister.

Su Ying'er thought she would hear the same praise as before, but she forgot one thing.

Everyone present had just escaped death.

Hearing that she had run around recklessly for some flowers and plants, and almost caused their deaths, everyone's face showed barely suppressed disgust.

Some were more polite and said tactfully, "I don't like flowers, so Junior Sister Ying'er should keep them for herself."

"I can't even lift my arm, so I'm not in the mood to appreciate the flowers."

As for the injured disciples, they simply said irritably, "We almost lost our lives, what good are these flowers?"

"Picking flowers in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Are you sick? Do you think you're a flower fairy?"

"Who says otherwise? How dare you talk about Junior Sister Jiang Li? If it weren't for Jiang Li, we would all be dead. She would have died just like Lu Ziting, with no one to save her."

"That's right, we should thank Junior Sister Jiang Li for still being able to speak!"

"..."

With everyone chiming in, Su Ying'er immediately became the target of everyone's criticism.

As if she couldn't bear it, she took two shaky steps back, tears immediately welling up in her eyes.

She shook her head helplessly, "Ying'er didn't mean it, Ying'er just wanted to make everyone happy, I really didn't mean it."

"Is that so, Su Ying'er? You really didn't do it on purpose?"

Ye Li stared at Su Ying'er, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Are you sure you left last night just to pick flowers?"

Those clear, cold eyes, black and white, stared straight at Su Ying'er.

In that instant, she felt that all the schemes in her heart were laid bare under such a gaze.

Her heart trembled. Why would Jiang Li ask her that? Did she know that she had gone to Moon White Lake?

Just as Su Ying'er was too nervous to speak, Mo Hannian protected her.

"Junior Sister, there's no need to be afraid."

After comforting Su Ying'er, Mo Hannian glared at Ye Li with hatred, "You don't need to apologize to anyone. At least you didn't do it on purpose. But some people, with malicious intent, harm their fellow disciples who are with them day and night. They are the ones who truly deserve to die!"

Hearing the deep hatred in his voice, Ye Li guessed that he had already recognized her.

Although he didn't know why, his attitude was clear: he hated her, and he hated even more that she wasn't dead.

Ah, good, this is the junior brother she has doted on for years.

This is how he repaid her!

Su Ying'er was very happy that Mo Hannian stood up for her, but his attitude of wanting to devour "Jiang Li" alive left her somewhat confused.

He and Jiang Li don't seem to have much contact, so why is he so agitated?
