Lianyi's question was too straightforward, leaving Yun Rubin at a loss for words. However, Du Lele, who had been silent, spoke up:
"Uncle Qiao, this is all just a misunderstanding. I have never made enemies with anyone since I entered the Inner Gate from the Outer Gate, so..."
Du Lele didn't make it very clear, but everyone knew the meaning. The only person who had been deliberately finding fault was Qiao Lianyi, and if something happened to her, people would naturally suspect her.
Lianyi glanced at the other person sharply, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and then she spoke:
"I admit that I did put a lot of obstacles in your way because of my senior brother, but I never wanted to ruin your cultivation, nor did I want to take your life. I just wanted you to give up. After all, I also have to consider my senior brother's face.
I just didn't expect that because of these things, you two would team up to set me up like this. Do you know how serious the accusation of harming a fellow disciple is? Even if it's not handled properly, even my father will be implicated?"
"Junior sister, I don't have any."
Yun Rubin had already sensed the Master's unfriendly gaze and immediately opened his mouth to explain, but Lian Yi didn't give him the chance:
"Moreover, you two picked a very good time, when my father was not around, and you couldn't even produce any decent evidence. Brother, do you think that as long as you open your mouth, I will listen to your arrangements and make a big thing into a small thing?
I admire you, but I'm not stupid. Do I have to bear the reputation of harming my fellow disciples just because I like you? What am I as a father of the sect? Protecting my own daughter? And then let you continue to act as victims in the sect and continue to smear me? "
Du Lele's face became more and more ugly, because Qiao Lianyi's words touched her heart. She just wanted to step on the other party to gain a good reputation for herself, and by the way, put the conflict between them in the open. In this way, once she had a problem, the first person everyone would think of would be Qiao Lianyi.
It's because the senior brother she admires doesn't love her, and she is the daughter of the sect master. It's not easy for her to trip others up. Even if she doesn't say it deliberately, there will be people who flatter her. In this way, she can be invincible, and she can not only gain the sympathy of Uncle Yun Rubin, but also make some ordinary disciples of the sect become her allies.
Originally everything was going smoothly. As long as Qiao Lianyi acted arrogant and unreasonable in front of everyone, and even made it clear that she wanted to deal with them, her goal would be achieved. Unfortunately, the other party did not follow the script.
Du Lele was already a little unsteady on his feet, and immediately spoke up to help Yun Rubin:
"Uncle Qiao, everything happened because of me. I am willing to go to the Cliff of Repentance to repent."
She was ready to retreat in order to advance.
"You are the victim now. If I let you go to the Cliff of Repentance, I don't know what the sect disciples will think of me and my father. A bully can't get away with it! It is the eldest brother who has to go to the Cliff of Repentance. After all, it was he who sued the sect without any evidence."
After Lian Yi finished speaking, Yun Rubin looked at her with disbelief, as if she had done something terribly wrong.
Lian Yi did not avoid the other person's sight, but looked straight into the other person's eyes, the disappointment and heartache in them overflowing:
"Brother, you have brought me up since our mother passed away. You taught me how to cultivate and how to behave in society. You have been by my side since I was little, and have accompanied me as I grew up. Most of the credit for my foundation building goes to you. I believe that we will continue like this, and finally ascend to the spiritual world hand in hand.
But this time your lover's cultivation level regressed, and you put the blame on me without knowing the truth. I explained that it was not me, but you didn't believe me, you didn't believe me! "
As Lianyi spoke, tears started streaming down her face. The elders in the hall all had different expressions on their faces, but no one interrupted her.
As cultivators, their senses are the most acute. They can feel that Lianyi is really aggrieved, and even feels as if she is heartbroken. It seems that she was seriously hurt by Yun Rubin this time.
Yun Rubin was already feeling a little regretful at this time. He should have been more cautious. He knew very well that it was indeed Lianyi who did the trick in Du Lele's cave, and his junior sister obeyed him and would admit her mistake as long as he said so. He just didn't know why the other party refused to admit it this time. Could it be that it really wasn't her who did it?
Yun Rubin simply ignored the oath to heaven that Lianyi had just made, and always thought that everything would develop according to her wishes.
In this moment of distraction, Lianyi had wiped away the tears in her eyes, bowed to everyone in the hall, and then said:
"Today, I, Qiao Lianyi, have severed my fellow discipleship with my senior brother Yun Rubin and am asking to leave Sect Master Qiao's sect and practice the Way of Mercilessness."
After saying that, he sat down on the ground and raised his hand to pat his dantian.
"ripple!"
“No!”
"Why is this girl so hot-tempered?"
The nine elders in the hall were all in the Nascent Soul stage, and Sect Master Qiao was also in the Nascent Soul stage. If they wanted to stop it, they should have been able to do it in time, but no one actually took action.
Sect Leader Qiao received a hint from his daughter, but the others thought Lian Yi was just pretending and might not really do it. Some people wanted to watch the fun, while others thought that Sect Leader Qiao would definitely take action, so there was no need to do anything unnecessary. As a result, Lian Yi lost all her cultivation in front of everyone.
The moment her cultivation was gone, Lianyi's face turned pale, but her real age was indeed only sixteen, so her appearance did not age, but she lost some of her immortal aura, and her body became weaker, becoming a mortal with a relatively pure body.
Yun Rubin and Du Lele were really stunned. One of them didn't react, and the other one reacted but didn't take action. Du Lele's cultivation level has now been reduced to the third level of Qi Refining. What can he do?
After Lianyi's cultivation was dissipated, her powerful soul summoned the surrounding wind spirit, which allowed her to draw the spirit into her body again in a moment. However, now was not a good time, she had to finish the rest of the play, so she suppressed the urge to draw the spirit into her body.
When Lianyi opened her eyes and turned to look at Yun Rubin, the admiration, helplessness, and heartache in her eyes disappeared, replaced by indifference:
"Master Yun, I have cultivated myself with your guidance. Today I am giving up my cultivation, which also means that we have ended our relationship. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. I wish you can get what you want and ascend to the spirit world soon."
After Lianyi finished speaking, she looked at Du Lele again, with no expression on her face. The jealousy, resentment, and indignation she had felt towards her were gone:
"Du Lele, I have already paid the price for the mistakes I made. From now on, we are even."
After saying that, he bowed.
What else could Du Lele say? Whatever she said at this time would be wrong. She just regressed in cultivation, but others had lost all their cultivation, and had exposed their mistakes, and even paid a greater price. If she continued to hold on to it, she would be ungrateful. Not to mention the elders, even the disciples of the sect would not stand on her side.
Du Lele could only bow awkwardly in return and keep his mouth shut to reduce his presence.
