Chapter 188 Mo Hannian: The person who cured his poison was not Su Ying'er
Ye Li curled her lips, "You should say that to Mo Hannian."
“I do need to tell him, but before that, I want to know what happened that day, Ah Li…”
Wen Yao's Adam's apple bobbed as if he was trying to swallow some unspeakable emotion. "After A-Li died...did she see anything about Xiao Sheng?"
The thought of Ye Li being by their side after her death, listening to those cruel words, caused his already broken heart to ache once more.
But he couldn't run away. The only meaning of his life was to get justice for Ah Li. He couldn't let Ah Li die and still have to bear these accusations that didn't belong to her.
Ye Li's gaze lingered on him for a moment as she considered his options.
Although she knew it was a Gu worm, she was just an outer disciple, so it was inconvenient for her to do anything, but Wen Yao was different.
She thought for a moment and said, "I've seen it."
Then she told Wen Yao everything that had happened after Bai Xiaosheng entered the Mist Camphor Forest that day.
This includes how Su Ying'er severely injured Bai Xiaosheng with the Silver Lotus Cudgel, and how she repeatedly tried to kill him to silence him after he returned to the Lotus Sect.
Although Wen Yao had suspected all of this, he was still deeply shocked when he actually heard what Su Ying'er had done. His lips trembled, and it took him a long time to finally speak, "It really is her..."
And yet, he turned a blind eye to Ah Li's death in order to help such a person refine pills.
He was wrong...
Completely wrong, terribly wrong...
What face does he have left to live in this world?
In that instant, he completely lost the will to live and only wanted to follow Ye Li in death, to repay everything with his life.
But if he were to meet Ah Li in the afterlife, and Ah Li asked him if he had avenged her, how would he answer?
No, he wants to get justice for Ah Li!
Across from her, Ye Li, unaware that Wen Yao had already faced death, dropped another bombshell: "Sun Yun was silenced by Su Ying'er because he witnessed all of this."
"What?"
Wen Yao couldn't believe it. "Sun Yun was also killed by her? Didn't Sun Yun leave a letter and go down the mountain?"
"He did not go down the mountain; his body is placed with the two missing disciples."
Hearing that Su Ying'er was so ruthless, Wen Yao felt a chill run down his spine.
Su Ying'er is far more vicious than he imagined, to have treated her fellow disciples so cruelly, and not even sparing Bai Xiaosheng, who had always cared for her.
He gritted his teeth, "So, Han Nian's Gu poison wasn't cured by her."
"good."
Ye Li: "There is no cure for Gu poison. The only way is to fight poison with poison. The reason Mo Hannian was able to cure the poison is because the person who administered the Gu poison died."
Having heard what had just happened, and then hearing about Su Ying'er's false claim of credit, Wen Yao no longer felt much. He turned to Ye Li, his tone pleading.
"Could you please ask Junior Sister Jiang Li to come with me to find Han Nian?"
Ye Li was somewhat surprised, "Me?"
“Yes, Mo Hannian now has complete faith in Su Ying’er. I think that since you can see A-Li’s ghost, he will believe you more.”

Ziyuju
As soon as Ye Li entered, she smelled a strong incense. All the furnishings inside had been changed to white, making it seem as if she had entered a mourning hall.
Wen Yao hadn't been to Mo Hannian's place for a long time, and he was momentarily stunned when he saw the interior layout, before shaking his head.
The person is gone, and anything we do now is in vain.
Mo Hannian was copying scriptures when he saw them, and he frowned.
However, one must bathe and burn incense before copying scriptures and must not speak.
He waited until he finished copying the entire scroll before coldly saying, "Since when can just any Tom, Dick, or Harry come to the Lotus Sect?"
His words were harsh, clearly indicating that he still harbored resentment towards Ye Li for making things difficult for Su Ying'er.
But Ye Li was no longer the senior sister who would secretly grieve over a junior brother's words. Hearing his words, she didn't even bother to look at him, and retorted indifferently, "Yes, a nobody who has been a disciple of the sect for more than ten years and is still only at the Qi Refining stage should indeed not be here."
Mo Hannian's face instantly darkened, the humiliation of his defeat against Ye Li last time flooding his mind.
When he spoke again, his voice was filled with anger, "Third Senior Brother, did you bring her here just to humiliate me?!"
Wen Yao first bowed to the offering table before saying, "No, we've come to tell you the truth."
...
moment.
"Impossible! Ying'er is kind-hearted by nature, how could she possibly have killed three people in a row!"
Mo Hannian was extremely agitated. He pointed at Ye Li and said, "Is she slandering Ying'er? Third Senior Brother, you would rather believe a morally corrupt outer disciple than your own junior sister!"
His reaction was exactly what Wen Yao expected. He didn't get angry, but instead asked, "Then why would you rather believe a junior sister you've only known for a year than believe the fourth brother who grew up with us?"
"I-"
Mo Hannian was speechless.
Yes, that day Bai Xiaosheng angrily stabbed Su Ying'er, saying that his senior sister was dead and that Su Ying'er had killed her. But none of them believed him. Instead, they reported to their master and sent him to the prison in the Discipline Hall.
Mingming, his senior sister and Bai Xiaosheng are the family they grew up with. Why doesn't he trust them and instead trust Su Ying'er?
"Because Ying'er saved my life!"
Mo Hannian's face was gloomy. "I admit that my senior sister did a lot for me, but the one who truly risked her life to cure me was Ying'er. Without her, I would still be a cripple. No, at that time, my Gu poison was already terminal. If Ying'er hadn't found the antidote, I would already be dead! Why wouldn't I trust her!"
Wen Yao looked into his eyes, "What if I told you that the one who cured you wasn't Su Ying'er at all?"
The air fell silent instantly.
Mo Hannian immediately retorted, "Impossible! Ying'er risked her life to save me, how could it not be her!"
He grabbed Wen Yao by the collar. "When you went down there that day, Moonlight Lake had already collapsed. You didn't know anything, so what makes you say it wasn't her!"
A calm voice rang out, "Because the one who truly detoxified you is me."
One sentence froze the two men in their standoff.
Mo Hannian turned his head stiffly, "It's you?"
Ye Li glanced at him. "But don't misunderstand, I didn't help you detoxify on purpose. I only killed that sorcerer to protect myself. It was because he died that your poison was cured. If it were my intention, I would have preferred you to die from the poison."
"Jiang Li!"
Mo Hannian was somewhat moved when he heard the first part, but when he heard Ye Li's later words, he was immediately enraged.
He said angrily, "I saw long ago that you harbored ill intentions towards the Lotus Sect. I don't believe a single word you said!"
"So you don't believe in this either?" Wen Yao took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out the insects inside. "Do you still recognize this?"
Mo Hannian frowned. "Aren't these the insects Ying'er feeds to the chickens? What are you doing with them?"
"This is not some kind of worm for feeding chickens, but a Gu worm."
Wen Yao said slowly and deliberately, "And Su Ying'er is not only not your savior, she is also in cahoots with the people who harmed you and wants to kill you."
