Chapter 76 Su Ying'er: Why does Jiang Li look so much like Ye Li?
outer gate
Ye Li's courtyard was crowded with disciples who came to offer their congratulations.
With such a top-grade water elemental root, he's destined for greatness; anyone who can even remotely connect with him is trying to get his face known.
One said he swept the floor with her, another said he cultivated with her.
Among them was Sangsang, who was squeezed into a curve. She looked at Ye Li from afar and felt that they were now a poor boy and a rich girl.
It's out of reach, completely out of reach.
The disciples who squeezed to the front row presented their congratulatory gifts, saying, "Congratulations, Junior Sister Jiang Li!"
"We saw long ago that Junior Sister Jiang Li was extraordinary, and it was only a matter of time before she became a personal disciple."
"When you become an inner disciple, don't forget us!"
"What inner sect? With Junior Sister Jiang Li's talent, she should definitely enter the Lotus Sect."
"..."
"Trying to enter my Lotus Sect with stolen spiritual roots? That's a pipe dream!"
His cold tone sounded particularly jarring amidst the congratulations.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Ziting standing at the back of the crowd with his hands behind his back, and Su Ying'er with red eyes beside him.
The disciples looked puzzled and began to discuss among themselves.
"What brings Senior Brother Lu here?"
"I don't know. What do you mean by 'stolen spiritual root'?"
Su Ying'er tugged at Lu Ziting's sleeve, "Senior Brother, Sister Jiang Li probably didn't mean to steal my Marrow Cleansing Pill. There are so many people here, let's talk about it privately."
"What? Jiang Li stole Junior Sister Ying'er's Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
"I was wondering before! Where did she, an outer disciple, get the Marrow Cleansing Pill? She actually stole it from Ying'er!"
The people around her were talking amongst themselves, all casting suspicious and disdainful glances at Ye Li.
Ye Li felt that this scene was extremely familiar.
Su Ying'er is like that; on the surface, she appears kind and innocent, but in reality, she is most adept at manipulating people's hearts.
Actually, when Su Ying'er first came to Lotus Sect a year ago, Ye Li also developed a liking for this sweet-looking junior sister.
She specially took her to the mountain peak with the most abundant spiritual energy to draw in the energy, hoping that she could draw the energy into her body as soon as possible.
However, Su Ying'er returned limping, her eyes red, saying, "I twisted my ankle by accident, it has nothing to do with you, Senior Sister. You didn't mean to torment me."
Later, Su Ying'er learned swordsmanship with Yuan Ce. After being injured, she immediately spoke up for her, saying, "It's not your fault, Senior Sister. You just forgot that Ying'er is a mortal; you didn't mean to make things difficult for her."
Gradually, in the eyes of those fellow disciples who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, she became a vicious senior sister who was jealous of her junior sister's favor, and even in death she was despised by them.
Thinking of this, Ye Li's eyes turned cold.
In the past, she lost her mind under the tutelage of Master Qingyu.
She considers herself a senior sister and has an obligation to take care of her junior brothers.
She thought that if she did well enough, they would understand her.
It wasn't until she died once that she understood that it wasn't that they didn't understand, but that they didn't deserve it!
So when Su Ying'er pretended to pull Ye Li to a secluded place, she forcefully shook off her hand.
"ah!"
A soft cry escaped her lips.
Su Ying'er staggered two steps, looking frail and boneless.
Lu Ziting hurriedly helped her up, then looked at Ye Li with anger in his eyes, "You stole Ying'er's Marrow Cleansing Pill. Ying'er was being considerate of you and didn't want to expose you in front of everyone, yet you are so ungrateful!"
Ye Li stood on the steps, coldly glancing at them. "You say I stole the Marrow Cleansing Pill? Then I'd like to ask you, when did I go and steal it, and how did I manage to steal it right under the noses of you direct disciples?"
"this……"
Lu Ziting was speechless for a moment.
The disciples also realized what was happening.
Yes, Jiang Li was just an outer disciple. Before she underwent the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she wasn't even at the Qi Refining stage. The Lotus Inner Sect not only had a gate restriction, but also had Golden Core stage disciples like Lu Ziting. How did Jiang Li manage to break in and snatch the Marrow Cleansing Pill?
Facing the suspicious gazes of the crowd, Su Ying'er's lips trembled slightly, wanting to explain but unable to.
She originally planned to first use public opinion to catch Jiang Li off guard, and then have Lu Ziting privately threaten her to hand over her spiritual root.
But she didn't expect that Jiang Li, an outer disciple, would dare to question them to their faces, and she was caught off guard.
Just as she was about to speak, Lu Ziting couldn't hold back any longer and retorted, "Isn't it because you bewitched Wen Yao and tricked him into giving you the Marrow Cleansing Pill!"
Ye Li suddenly realized, "So you also knew that Wen Yao gave me the Marrow Cleansing Pill? Then were you all just trying to smear me by saying that I stole it?"
"you!"
Lu Ziting never expected that "Jiang Li" would take someone else's things and still be so self-righteous. He angrily flung his sleeve and said, "Shameless!"
Seeing that things were about to go wrong, Su Ying'er said gently, "Sister Jiang Li, you've misunderstood. The reason why Senior Brother is in such a hurry is because this Marrow Cleansing Pill is Senior Sister's keepsake."
Her eyes glistened with tears, her face filled with longing for Ye Li. "When my senior sister was here, she cared about me a lot. She knew I didn't have any spiritual roots, so she got me this Marrow Cleansing Pill. She said her greatest wish was to give me a water spiritual root."
She spoke with great emotion, and tears streamed down her face as she became deeply moved.
Ye Li twitched her lips. If she weren't the one in question, she would have believed it too.
Su Ying'er suddenly knelt down, looking up at her and pleading, "Sister Jiang Li, if it were anything else, I could give it to you without a problem, but this spiritual root is a keepsake that my senior sister gave me. It represents her love for me, how can I give it up!"
"That's the only thing my senior sister left me!"
Su Ying'er clutched Ye Li's clothes and cried her heart out, while Lu Ziting's eyes also reddened.
The disciples present were all deeply moved and couldn't help but condemn Jiang Li, the culprit.
"Since Ye Li gave the Marrow Cleansing Pill to Junior Sister Ying'er, it must be because she is in heaven and wants to help Junior Sister Ying'er fulfill her wish. Jiang Li has gone too far."
"That's right, this top-grade water spirit root was clearly left by Ye Li for Su Ying'er, how dare Jiang Li steal it?"
"Support Junior Sister Ying'er in getting her spiritual root back!"
Half the crowd was filled with jealousy, and the other half with a sense of justice; the volume of their condemnation grew louder and louder.
"Return your spiritual root!"
"Give back your spiritual root!"
Su Ying'er's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile, but when she looked up, she put on a pitiful expression again. "Sister Jiang Li, please, don't let my senior sister's spirit be disturbed. Please return my spiritual root to me."
With so many people supporting her, she's confident of victory; "Jiang Li" simply can't compete with her.
To Su Ying'er's surprise, Jiang Li not only didn't agree, but instead smiled.
She looked down at her, her eyes filled with deep sarcasm. "Are you so reluctant to part with Ye Li? I heard that after her death, you immediately went around the sect saying that she colluded with evil spirits and deserved to die. I didn't see you having much affection for her then. Or did your feelings suddenly become strong after you saw the Marrow Cleansing Pill, especially after you learned that I had cleansed my marrow and obtained a top-grade water spiritual root?"
He used to despise Ye Li, but as soon as he heard that Jiang Li had developed a water spirit root, he started using Ye Li's name to ask for the spirit root again, which was really quite unseemly.
The way everyone looked at Su Ying'er became subtle, clearly feeling that this junior sister was not as naive as she appeared.
Su Ying'er's face turned pale and then red, and she glared at Ye Li with hatred.
How dare you ruin her plans!
The moment she glared at Ye Li, the familiar look on her face sent a chill down her spine.
Wait, this Jiang Li... how come she looks so much like Ye Li?
