Chapter 37 Wen Yao saw Ye Li
Ye Li, who was about to break through, was interrupted, but she was concerned about something else: could someone see her?!
She turned her head abruptly; it was Wen Yao.
He looked in her direction with a look of astonishment, "Ah Li?"
Ye Li probed, "You saw me?"
Wen Yao suddenly panicked and rushed towards her, crying, "Ah Li?!"
The next second, he passed through Ye Li's body.
Unaware of his surroundings, he called her name.
"Ah Li? Where are you?"
"You're back?"
"Please come out."
"..."
Ye Li noticed that he didn't linger when his gaze met hers, confirming that he had only glanced at her briefly.
She must have almost broken through to the next level just now, and her soul body changed, which is why he saw it.
She tried to recapture the feeling of spiritual energy entering her body, but she was completely out of sorts.
Ye Li was a little annoyed; she should have known better than to stop.
Meanwhile, Wen Yao was completely bewildered as he couldn't find her.
“Ah Li…”
"Was it my imagination? No, it can't be, I really saw it."
Wen Yao was certain that he had indeed seen Ye Li just now.
He saw Ye Li standing alone under the tree, gazing at every blade of grass and tree of the Lotus Gate.
But his eyes looked completely different from before.
Although Ah Li used to appear aloof, her eyes always held concern for her sect and fellow disciples.
She would worry about whether the cranes in the lotus pond were well-fed, urge Yuan Ce to practice his sword, take care of Mo Hannian's health, and even know exactly how to manage every herb in his medicinal field.
But just now, her eyes held none of the concern he was familiar with; instead, they held a detached scrutiny.
It was as if everything about the Lotus Gate had nothing to do with her.
how so?
This isn't Ah Li's gaze.
Just as Wen Yao was stunned, someone patted him on the shoulder.
He turned around in surprise, "Ah Li?!"
Mo Hannian frowned. "Who are you calling?"
Upon seeing Mo Hannian, Wen Yao's excited face turned to disappointment. "I thought it was A-Li."
"Ye Li?"
Mo Hannian subconsciously looked around, "She's back?"
He sneered, "Bai Xiaosheng said she was dead. I told you long ago, how could someone with the cultivation of a Nascent Soul stage die so easily?"
For some reason, when Wen Yao heard the word "death," it felt like a needle had pierced his heart.
He had been focused on saving Su Ying'er, and only now did he have time to think about Bai Xiaosheng's words, "Second Senior Sister is dead."
Was he delirious due to his lingering injuries, or did he actually see Ye Li's corpse...?
The mere thought of that possibility made Wen Yao feel as if he were being choked, with difficulty breathing.
Mo Hannian, unaware of Wen Yao's thoughts, frowned and urged him when he saw him standing still, "Junior Sister is still waiting for your pills. Don't waste your time on that self-directed and self-acted poisonous woman, Ye Li."
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but his arm was grabbed.
Wen Yao gripped his arm tightly and managed to squeeze out a few words, "Xiao Wu, what I just saw didn't seem to be A Li, but her ghost."
Mo Hannian was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
Wen Yao was also startled by his own guess, his voice hoarse, "I saw Ah Li standing under that tree. I wanted to pull her up, but I just passed right through her body. When I turned around, she was gone."
His voice grew increasingly tense, "Fifth Brother, do you think what Fourth Brother said might be true? Is Ah Li really already..."
"impossible!"
Mo Hannian let out a low roar, his emotions unusually agitated.
Even Wen Yao was startled, "Xiao Wu?"
"Third Senior Brother, I think you're hallucinating because you've been taking care of Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother too much lately. How could Ye Li be dead? Absolutely impossible! Unless I see her body with my own eyes, I absolutely refuse to believe it!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Wen Yao watched his retreating figure and sighed softly.
He could see clearly that after hearing that Ah Li might be in trouble, Mo Hannian's expression was not one of joy, but rather one of panic.
He felt the same way. Even if Ah Li made many mistakes, or even toyed with his feelings, he couldn't bear to see her really get into trouble.
Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and took out the wooden bird.
"Pass down the order: search the Mist Camphor Forest with all your might, and find Ah Li at all costs."
Recalling Sun Yun's description from that day, Wen Yao paused and added, "Pay special attention to the caves in the misty camphor forest."
Release the wooden bird.
Wen Yao looked up at the sky, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
In fact, what Bai Xiaosheng said had many similarities to what Sun Yun said that day.
Sun Yun also said that it was not Ye Li who injured Bai Xiaosheng.
Today, Bai Xiaosheng said that it was Su Ying'er who injured him.
Su Ying'er said that it was A Li who injured Bai Xiaosheng.
Who is lying?
Perhaps only by finding the cave they mentioned can the truth be revealed.
Wen Yao murmured to himself, "Ah Li, if you come back, I will never hold anything against you again. I can forgive your indecisiveness."
"Come back, Ah Li."
Ye Li, who was about to leave, stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.
She looked surprised. Was she indecisive?
Why would Wen Yao say that?
Thinking of that "farewell letter," Ye Li vaguely felt that there must be some connection between the two.
So she chose to follow Wen Yao.
-
During the day, Wen Yao took care of Su Ying'er, and at night, with Lu Ziting on guard, he returned to his own courtyard.
He stood in front of the medicinal herb field for a long time, then returned to his room, closed the bed curtains, took out an exquisite wooden box from his storage bag, and took something out.
Ye Li instinctively felt that this thing must be very important.
Upon closer inspection, her pupils dilated, and her face flushed with anger.
Inside was none other than her close-fitting bra!
"Wen Yao! Why are you in my clothes?!"
Wen Yao was unaware that the owner of the clothes was right in front of him. Seeing these private garments, his cheeks flushed slightly as he took them out one by one to examine them.
Ye Li was both shocked and furious, wishing she could tear Wen Yao to pieces.
She had thought Wen Yao was the most gentle and polite among her fellow disciples, yet he stole something from her!
Not just clothes.
There were also handkerchiefs and even half-used lip rouge, all intimate items used by men and women to express their feelings.
Upon seeing the lip rouge, Ye Li frowned.
She had never used lip rouge; it wasn't hers.
And that handkerchief, although it also had the character "Li" embroidered on it, she always felt that something was a little different.
She looked closely at the strapless dress, and sure enough, the character "璃" on it was not her handwriting.
She was only focused on being angry just now, but now it seems that these things are not hers, but rather something that someone deliberately forged in her handwriting.
Wen Yao muttered to himself, "Ah Li, did you really give me all this just to humiliate me?"
Ye Li gleaned a general idea from Wen Yao's mutterings.
It turned out that someone was exchanging gifts with Wen Yao under her name, making Wen Yao mistakenly believe that she had feelings for him.
Ye Li recalled that before Wen Yao went into seclusion, he would always seem to want to say something but then stop, and he would often recite poems that she couldn't understand.
I see.
And behind this, it's likely that Su Ying'er is involved.
First, she impersonated her and interacted with Wen Yao, and then, after he expressed his feelings, she wrote that letter.
As for the purpose...
Ye Li's eyes sharpened; she was deliberately trying to sow discord between them! To prevent Wen Yao from searching for her after her disappearance!
So, as early as half a year ago, no, even a year ago, Su Ying'er began to plan all of this!
What exactly is she trying to do?!
Ye Li felt it was necessary for her to go to the Mist Camphor Forest again to see what kind of conspiracy they were plotting.
