Chapter 182 exposes Su Ying'er's connection to the sorcerer.
Su Ying'er was powerless to do anything to those two disciples, but the Mirage Pheasant was a spirit beast, and even though it was suppressed by the contract, it still had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage, far surpassing those two disciples.
As soon as Ye Li finished speaking, Mo Hannian, who had been looking determined, was stunned.
However, he didn't suspect Su Ying'er. Instead, he thought of the pheasant from before, which was notoriously difficult to control, and it was only through his master's intervention that they were able to form a bond. Perhaps the spirit beast was too wild and untamed, and it might have ambushed the two disciples.
Seeing that Mo Hannian was silent, Ye Li stared at Su Ying'er's panicked face and said, "Since they disappeared while guarding the spirit beasts, we can ask the spirit beasts to find out the truth."
"no!"
Su Ying'er's voice was shrill and piercing as she excitedly blocked their way, shouting, "You can't go!"
Seeing her like this, Mo Hannian became a little suspicious. "Ying'er, what's wrong?"
Su Ying'er met Mo Hannian's questioning gaze and realized that she had been too excited, but the thought that the spirit beast in the backyard was not a pheasant but a Shaluo made her scalp tingle.
If it were a normal person, they might help her cover up the lie, but Shaluo is crazy and unpredictable, and would not cooperate with her at all!
Moreover, since Sha Luoru was the true culprit who poisoned Mo Hannian, she was even more afraid that Mo Hannian would discover some flaw. If that happened, she would lose her only senior brother who stood by her side, and that situation absolutely could not be allowed to occur!
Thinking of this, she forced out a few tears, grabbed Mo Hannian's arm, and said pitifully, "Fifth Senior Brother, a spirit beast isn't a demon beast, how could it harm people? It's already pitiful enough that it's forced to stay in the Heavenly Gate Sect. If we doubt it and torture it, wouldn't that be bullying the weak?"
After hearing Su Ying'er's reason, Mo Hannian frowned and said patiently, "I know you have a lot of sympathy, but it's just a spirit beast. You don't need to take it too seriously."
Su Ying'er wanted to stop her, "No..."
"Yes, Junior Sister Ying'er."
Ye Li interrupted Su Ying'er, a smile playing on her lips, but her eyes remained devoid of warmth. "If it really is the pheasant causing trouble, then not only is the entire Tianmen Sect in danger, but you are in danger as well, not to mention..."
Her voice suddenly turned cold, "Your spirit beast harmed those two disciples. By interfering like this, aren't you becoming an accomplice!"
Upon hearing the word "accomplice," Su Ying'er's face paled, clearly feeling guilty.
"that is!"
Elder Song was already impatient. "We only said we wanted to ask the pheasant a question, not kill it, pluck its feathers, or make chicken soup. What are you dawdling about? Get out of the way!"
Su Ying'er hurriedly followed, "Elder Song!"
"Elder Song, wait a minute!"
She tried to stop him, but Mo Hannian pulled her back. "Alright, Ying'er, it's just asking a few questions. If you keep acting like this, not only Elder Song, but I'll start to think this is related to you."
Su Ying'er's back stiffened, and she forced a smile. "How could that be? Since brother thinks it's necessary to ask the spirit beast, then... ask."

backyard
As soon as Ye Li entered, she saw the "pheasant" on the recliner.
In just one day, Su Ying'er had transformed this place into a room that was practically identical to a private room.
Not only are there recliners and coffee tables, but fruits and snacks are also placed around them.
Seeing this, the disciples all looked astonished. "This chicken is too leisurely! It's not a spirit beast anymore, it's more like a master than its master!"
Su Ying'er forced herself to explain, "He... although he is a spirit beast, since I have formed a bond with him, I have to be responsible for him. All things are equal."
Regardless of whether anyone believed her or not, she quickly walked up to Shaluo Ru, making a threatening gesture with her eyes while gently saying, "Pheasant, Elder Song has something to ask you, you must tell the truth."
She emphasized the word "truthfully" very heavily.
Whether she can stay in the Lotus Gate depends on whether Shaluo is willing to cooperate with her!
As she spoke, Elder Song behind her couldn't wait any longer and strode forward.
"Alright, alright, I'll ask him!"
Elder Song pointed at the pheasant, "I'm asking you, do you know where those two disciples who were guarding you went yesterday! If you dare to hide it, I'll pluck your feathers and make you into a roast chicken!"
Shaluo's eyes, sharp as chicken eyes, gleamed with a cold light. "You're courting death!"
He suddenly attacked Elder Song, but Elder Song was no match for him in his current chicken form. He was slapped to the ground by Elder Song.
"You pheasant! What do you want!"
Shaluo had never suffered such humiliation and was furious. "I'll kill you!"
He was about to use the Gu worms when Su Ying'er grabbed him tightly, her body trembling. "No! This is Elder Song! If you keep doing this, you'll be expelled from the Lotus Sect! Then you'll have nothing left!"
Her words, seemingly meant to offer advice, were in fact a subtle warning.
If Shaluo is driven out, then he will have no one to form a pact with, let alone regain his human form.
Although Shaluo was crazy, he wasn't stupid. He gritted his teeth until sparks were flying from his beak before he could barely endure it.
"You old hag, I'll kill you sooner or later!"
Elder Song was equally enraged by his arrogance. "Well, you really are untamed! The disappearance of those two disciples must be related to you. Guards, take him back to the outer sect and torture him severely!"
No!
When Su Ying'er heard that Sha Luoru was going to be taken away, she broke out in a cold sweat and quickly blocked Sha Luoru, pleading with Elder Song.
"Elder, he's just a bit short-tempered, but he doesn't mean any harm. Please, Elder, forgive him!"
As she spoke, she tugged at Mo Hannian's sleeve, "Brother, say something!"
Mo Hannian frowned. "Ying'er, I think there is indeed something wrong with your spirit beast. Why don't you let Elder Song take it back and ask him about it?"
Su Ying'er dared not let Sha Luoru go with Elder Song. If he exposed her and said a few more unfounded things, she would be completely finished!
Thinking of this, Su Ying'er disregarded her image and threatened, "This spirit beast belongs to the Lotus Sect. If Elder Song wants to take it away, shouldn't he ask Qingyu Zhenren first?"
Elder Song: "You dare threaten me!"
Su Ying'er curtsied, "Ying'er wouldn't dare, but there's no evidence right now. Elder Song just says my spirit beast harmed someone and wants to take it away. I'm afraid I can't comply!"
"you!"
Elder Song choked up. Indeed, there was no evidence yet, and if Su Ying'er forcibly stopped her, she really couldn't do anything about it.
Meanwhile, in a corner that no one paid attention to, Ye Li, who had been searching everywhere since she came in, finally made a new discovery.
She pointed to the box on the table. "What's this?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Shaluo suddenly looked up, "It's you?!"
He was already extremely jealous of Ye Li, and now she dared to touch his treasure!
"Don't move! I'll kill you if you move again!"
Don't move?
How could that be!
Ye Li opened the box directly, and inside it was a dense swarm of insects!
