Lianyi's move of retreating to advance was something she had thought of when she was at the Cliff of Regret. After all, she was in a passive position now, and she didn't want to be stepped on to get to the top, so she had to withdraw as soon as possible, and it would be best to cut the Gordian knot.
Not only can it win back her reputation, but it can also prevent her father from being embarrassed, and it also gives her a legitimate excuse to disperse her cultivation. When she switches to practicing wind-based skills in the future, she will have an extra trump card. After all, the difference between wood spiritual roots and wind spiritual roots is very large. Perhaps only Yun Rubing knows this at present.
Qiao Qianshan flashed and came to Lianyi. He said nothing, but fed her a pill, and then said:
"Lianyi, you are too impulsive."
Lianyi said nothing, just shook her head.
Sect Master Qiao turned to Elder Xiao of the Law Enforcement Hall and said:
"Elder Xiao, I'll leave the rest to you. I believe you will handle it impartially. I'll take Lianyi back first."
After saying this, he held Lianyi's hand and disappeared in the hall.
Elder Xiao coughed lightly, exchanged a few words with the beautiful and charming Elder Shang beside him, and then said:
"Without any evidence, sect disciple Yun Rubin framed Qiao Lianyi based on nothing more than a little speculation, and was sentenced to face the wall at the cliff for five years.
Du Lele's cultivation level regressed not because of Qiao Lianyi, but because there was a loophole in the foundation-building cave, which caused his foundation-building to fail. As compensation, he was given 1,000 low-grade spirit stones, a foundation-building pill, and free use of the foundation-building cave once.
Do you two have any objections?"
"Disciple has no objection."
Yun Rubin lowered his eyes and saluted, trying his best not to let others see that he looked unusual, but unfortunately everyone in the hall was a shrewd man. Although his tone was calm and he looked resigned to his fate, the unwillingness in his eyes did not escape everyone's perception.
The elders all had a new understanding of Yun Rubin. They all felt that the sect leader did not know people well and chose such a senior disciple after careful selection, which was a failure. Fortunately, they did not choose this person in the first place.
In comparison, Du Lele's situation was much calmer. After all, she was the victim, and from what happened today, she was the only beneficiary.
Qiao Lianyi's cultivation was gone, and there was a gap between the two of them. She would no longer be a stumbling block between her and Uncle Master Yun Rubin. With the spirit stones she obtained, she would be able to recover her cultivation as soon as possible. With the use of foundation-building pills and a free cave, she believed that she would be able to rebuild her foundation in a year at most.
"Disciple has no objection."
Du Lele bowed and then obediently left the hall. Immediately, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall took her to the Affairs Hall to receive compensation.
But Yun Rubin was not so lucky. Elder Xiao waved his sleeves and sent Yun Rubin, who was in the Jindan stage, directly to the Cliff of Repentance, and placed a restriction on him. He could not step out of the Cliff before the time limit came.
After all the relevant people had left, Elder Shang spoke:
"That Du Lele is not a good person. With his own strength, he has alienated the brothers and sisters who grew up together. He also provoked the master-disciple relationship between Yun Rubin and Qianshan. Now Qianshan wants to kill Yun Rubin."
"Tsk tsk, you know what, it's really like this, he's like nothing happened, even with the compensation he was able to build his foundation smoothly."
"Find an opportunity to expel her from the sect?"
"Elder Xiao, you are from the Law Enforcement Hall. What excuse do you think is appropriate to expel someone from the sect?"
Elder Shang narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Haha, indeed. There is no suitable reason now. Those little disciples will definitely stand up for her."
Elder Xiao shook his head.
"What's so difficult about this? There are many smart people in this world. Once today's incident gets out, there will naturally be people who understand. Sometimes ignoring something is more useful than tripping someone up."
Elder Shang said with a smile.
Before she achieved enlightenment, she was a maidservant of a wealthy lady and had seen many such scenes.
With the tacit consent of the elders, after everyone left the meeting hall, communication talismans flew throughout the sect. In less than an hour, the previously uproarious incident of Qiao Lianyi murdering her fellow disciples had a big reversal, and the person who had the last laugh was Du Lele.
"I didn't expect that Uncle Yun was so infatuated that he even gave up his own sister for the woman he loved?"
"I think he wanted to benefit his sweetheart and was just taking advantage of the situation. Who asked Qiao Lianyi to bully his sweetheart?"
“Although Qiao Lianyi is the daughter of the sect master, she basically never left the sect master peak before she established her foundation, and she never bullied us. It was only because Du Lele had an encounter with Uncle Yun after he entered the inner sect that she tormented Du Lele, but no one was killed.”
"Now that you mention it, I've realized that Du Lele failed in building his foundation, and his cultivation level would only remain at the tenth level of Qi Refining. How could he regress for no reason? Don't you think so?"
"Don't make blind guesses. Qiao Lianyi even swore an oath to the heavens. The fact that the thunderbolt didn't kill her proves that she didn't do it. I suspect that this was a trick played by Du Lele."
"You have a point, I guess."
There are no real fools among the disciples who can enter the sect to practice. After everyone got together to analyze the situation, they finally came to the conclusion that they should stay away from Du Lele in the future. They neither wanted to be her stepping stone nor did they want to be used by her. Didn’t they see that even the daughter of the sect master was forced to give up her own cultivation?
Du Lele was absorbing spirit stones in her cave at this time. She wanted to recover her cultivation as quickly as possible and then build her foundation as soon as possible. After that, she would accept the sect's mission and leave for a while. After everything settled down, she would return to the sect with a higher cultivation level. She believed that no one would mention this matter again by then. For this reason, she planned to give up the opportunity to enter the Yuntian Secret Realm.
The idea was good, but when she successfully re-established her foundation a year later and received the sect's mission, she couldn't even find a fellow disciple to form a temporary team with. She clearly felt everyone's alienation. She inquired for a long time before she found out the reason. For this, she hated Qiao Lianyi even more and regretted not seizing her luck.
Lianyi on the other side was brought back to the cave by Qiao Qianshan. After the effects of the medicine were neutralized, she opened her eyes and looked at her father with admiration in her eyes.
"Lianyi, why didn't you let me take action in the hall?"
"Dad, don't be anxious. Just listen to me slowly."
Lian Yi smiled weakly, and then continued:
"Before that, please test my spiritual roots again."
Qiao Qianshan didn't react for a moment as to what his daughter meant, but seeing that she insisted, he wiped his storage ring and took out a round disk.
Lianyi took a deep breath and gently placed her hand on the sphere in the center of the disc. Then the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth around the disc lit up, and finally all went out. Then purple, green and white flashed on the sphere under Lianyi's hand. Finally, the green color dominated the entire sphere, and even formed a green light column, spreading out of the cave.
Qiao Qianshan's expression changed, he pinched his fingers, opened a barrier, blocked the beam of light in the cave, and said in great surprise:
"Lianyi, you have wind spiritual roots!"
"Yes, Daddy!"
"Before that"
