“Ah Li is not a femme fatale who brought ruin to the country. No matter what the faults are, they are not Ah Li’s fault,” Wen Yu said, feeling flustered for some reason, and even having the illusion that she could not grasp Yan Li.
But Wen Yu wasn't the only one with this misconception.
In Yan Li's view, Wen Yu was too normal compared to those people, and didn't even resemble the sect leader who was aloof and indifferent to sect affairs in his impression.
He actually got involved in this kind of thing.
In major sects, injuries and deaths are a perfectly normal occurrence.
So he gets involved too.
Yan Li couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"Since it's not my fault, why are you stopping me here, Master?" Yan Li pulled away from Wen Yu's embrace once again.
"Is Master afraid that if I run away, he won't be able to explain to the others in the sect?"
The instant the hand seals were formed, spiritual energy separated the two. Though only half a step apart, their hearts felt as if they were separated by a vast distance.
“You all know perfectly well that I will influence them, yet you still choose to stand by and watch me struggle on the edge of life and death time and time again…”
She looked at Wen Yu with a mixture of doubt and sarcasm, and couldn't help but ask indifferently, "Is this interesting?"
Yan Li has always felt that it is a miracle that she has not gone crazy.
There was no intention to drag the whole world down with them.
Wen Yu's thoughts froze as he heard Yan Li's words. He frowned slightly and carefully recalled his memories of her.
Perhaps she didn't know that when she first entered the sect to find her master, he saw her at first glance in the crowd.
They also noticed something was wrong with her.
After realizing that she wanted to become his apprentice, he waited patiently, thinking that once he brought her back, he would naturally discover the crux of the problem in time.
To Wen Yu's surprise, just as he stood up to welcome his new disciple, his seemingly destined apprentice lowered his head and meekly chose one of the old men on the miscellaneous servants' peak.
He even belittled himself in front of everyone, saying that his innate talent was poor, that he only had a wood spirit root, and that apart from the miscellaneous servant peak, there was nowhere else he could go.
The elders of Zayi Peak hadn't received any apprentices for many years, so they were naturally overjoyed to finally find one who was willing.
At that moment, Wen Yu had only one thought in his mind:
Being a human being is the same.
How could she be so spineless?
He originally wanted to take her directly from the three elders, but just the look in his eyes was enough to make her want to run away.
Although the reason was unknown, Wen Yu secretly cast a spell on her.
Even if it's not exactly a solution, it allows me to sense when her life is in danger and go to her rescue.
This spell only worked when she almost poisoned herself to death last time, so how could it have repeatedly shown her struggling on the edge of life and death?
Putting aside him, just consider the three elders of the Miscellaneous Service Peak. Which one of them wasn't truly devoted to her? Upon learning that she lacked aptitude, they used spiritual herbs to make a soup to help her rebuild her bones and cleanse her marrow.
This has been going on for decades.
Each time, it would even consume half of the spiritual herbs on the miscellaneous servants' peak.
How could someone who has done this much simply stand by and watch?
Could it be...?
What else is there that he doesn't know?
In a mere instant, Wen Yu's mind stirred, and he directly dispersed the spiritual energy barrier between the two of them. He raised his finger, focused his mind, and grasped her hand.
After probing her heart meridian, they found nothing unusual about her, not even any signs of demonic possession.
But if he wasn't possessed by a demon, why would he be talking nonsense?
"I know that Ali is dissatisfied, but have I, and your three masters, ever stood by and watched coldly?" Wen Yu did not want to be blamed without being held accountable.
But Yan Li avoided the topic and gently reminded, "If Master doesn't go to save those people soon, they will all really die."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Someone will go to rescue you."
"So someone went to rescue them," Yan Li said, a strange emotion flickering in her eyes as she glanced at the few people on the miscellaneous servants' peak.
"What if I wanted them dead?"
Will my master stop me?
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu frowned subconsciously, "Why must Ali kill them? Aren't there any innocent people among them?"
"If any of them have ever bullied you, I can take the liberty of crippling their cultivation and banishing them from the mountain."
Yan Li was so angry at these remarks that she laughed.
When did major sects start paying attention to these things?
His cultivation was destroyed, and he was sent down the mountain.
This was actually said by the head of a major sect.
How absurd!
And she was utterly foolish.
It's a ridiculous joke to expect someone in a higher position to consider her situation and empathize with her.
In major sects, there is only profit.
Only interests are what truly endure and last.
"What if they all killed me?" Yan Li chuckled lightly, her voice not loud, not even a question, but rather light and casual, as if joking, looking at Wen Yu before her, she asked, word by word:
"Master, if they had all killed me, would you still think that what I did today was wrong?"
"You still feel that your disciple shouldn't repay evil with evil?"
If a mortal has any backbone, being killed three times should turn him from a saint into a god of death.
Wen Yu's pupils contracted slightly as she looked down at Yan Li in front of her, a crazy idea suddenly flooding her mind.
