Chapter 9 Bai Xiaosheng sees through Su Ying'er's lies
Master Qingyu frowned. "What happened to those things?"
Bai Xiaosheng shuddered at the gaze of his master.
He took those things and gambled them all with the outer disciples, losing them all to them. If his master finds out that he is neglecting his duties, he will definitely be severely punished by his master, and he might even be expelled from the sect.
Besides, given how heartless and ruthless Ye Li was before, why should he care about her?
Bai Xiaosheng's honesty vanished, and he decisively shook his head, "Nothing much, those things were taken by Second Senior Sister."
Despite being disappointed countless times, Ye Li's chest would still ache each time.
Actually, she didn't care about those things. In fact, a few months ago, when Bai Xiaosheng lost his sword, she spent all her savings to secretly redeem it.
What pained her most was the indifference of her junior brothers.
Yuan Ce and Mo Hannian resented her because she was too strict, but what about Bai Xiaosheng?
Or perhaps, in their eyes, she had long been superfluous...
Bai Xiaosheng's words completely confirmed Ye Li's "crime." Qingyu Zhenren swept his whisk and said coldly, "From this day forward, Ye Li is no longer a disciple of Tianmen Sect. If Ye Li dares to step into Tianmen Sect again, there is no need to report to me. I will kill him immediately."
These four short words, each one like a sharp blade, pierced Ye Li's heart.
There was no verification.
The cause has not been determined.
Without even sending anyone to look for her, Master Qingyu issued this order based solely on Su Ying'er's one-sided account.
In an instant, all hope vanished.
Ye Li didn't even know what she was insisting on.
Perhaps, disappearing like this in seven days would be cleaner...
Master Qingyu turned and left, and the disciples from various sects followed suit.
Just as Ye Li was feeling disheartened, a middle-aged disciple with an ordinary appearance in the crowd kept turning back to look at the nameless cottage.
Everyone was walking out, so the man's action of looking back was particularly abrupt.
Ye Li noticed his unremarkable appearance and frowned.
This person...
It's that Taoist cultivator from the cave!
No wonder he looked familiar that day; it turns out he was a disciple of the Heavenly Gate Sect!
If you are a disciple of the Tianmen Sect, why did you become the servant of that masked man?
What does this have to do with her death?
Ye Li felt there must be some connection between them, so she immediately followed.
-
After leaving the crowd, the middle-aged Daoist cultivator headed towards the direction of the Water Cloud Sect.
He did not go to the inner disciples' residence, but went to the backyard.
This is the residence of the outer disciples responsible for cleaning and sweeping. However, the outer disciples who can live in Shuiyun Sect receive much better treatment than the cleaning and sweeping disciples at the foot of the mountain.
During this time, other disciples in the backyard met him and greeted him, "Senior Brother Huang Guang."
Huang Guang hunched his shoulders and bowed respectfully, showing no trace of the sinister intent he displayed while talking to the masked man.
Huang Guang returned to his residence. Before closing the door, he glanced around to make sure no one was there before finally closing it.
However, he can only detect people, not ghosts.
Unseen by him, the cold-faced woman floated in mid-air, staring intently at him.
Huang Guang was completely unaware. He took out a black disc and infused it with spiritual power.
A moment later, a hoarse voice rang out, "How did things go?"
The familiar voice, like a demonic claw, gripped Ye Li's heart tightly. She looked at Huang Guang warily.
"Master Qingyu has given up searching for Ye Li, and no one will affect you."
"well done."
The masked man's voice was tinged with madness, "No one will bother us anymore."
The already unpleasant voice became even more shrill with excitement, sending chills down Ye Li's spine.
us?
Is he talking about Huang Guang, or... her?
It was as if she was shrouded in a fog, and no matter how hard she tried to clear it, she couldn't see the end.
In order to find out more information, Ye Li followed Huang Guang.
Huang Guang hid the disc and went out to sweep and clean, behaving just like any other disciple.
As dusk approached and the disciples returned to their rooms to rest, Ye Li had no choice but to return to the Lotus Sect to make further plans.
Lotus Gate Water Pavilion
As soon as Ye Li entered, she saw a strange scene: Su Ying'er was tugging at Bai Xiaosheng's sleeve, crying and explaining something, looking very pitiful.
Bai Xiaosheng, on the other hand, had a cold and stern expression, devoid of his usual doting manner.
It turned out that after Ye Li left, Bai Xiaosheng felt it was too strange for Su Ying'er to insist that she saw Ye Li packing her luggage, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was around to ask her if she had seen it wrong.
Su Ying'er had a guilty conscience and was not about to give in. She said aggrievedly, "The elders of Shuiyun Sect don't believe me, so doesn't Fourth Senior Brother believe me either? Ying'er isn't as clever as Second Senior Sister, who has a way to attract everyone's attention. Ying'er only has a sincere heart for Master and Senior Brother. Heaven and earth can bear witness, Ying'er would never lie to you."
If it were anything else, Bai Xiaosheng would definitely believe Su Ying'er's story, and might even feel guilty for misunderstanding his junior sister. But he knew perfectly well what had happened; he was the one who took the things.
Hearing Su Ying'er's words now is quite intriguing.
Bai Xiaosheng had initially only suspected that Su Ying'er had lied about the luggage, but now he even began to doubt whether Su Ying'er had actually met Ye Li.
He was quick-witted and knew that asking like that wouldn't get him an answer, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Junior Sister, I misunderstood you."
Su Ying'er had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Bai Xiaosheng say, "By the way, Dahei will definitely be able to see through Second Senior Sister's Fire Lotus Technique. Why don't I go and tell Master to release Dahei so that it can identify it?"
"etc!"
Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng was about to leave, Su Ying'er panicked completely.
Everything today was her own doing, from the fire lotus on the ground to the abrasions on her shoulder, it was all her own masterpiece.
She doesn't know fire magic; she burns things with talismans. At first glance, it might fool people, but if you look closely, you might be discovered.
Su Ying'er was in a state of confusion and grabbed Bai Xiaosheng, preventing him from leaving.
And so, the scene that Ye Li saw when she came in occurred: Su Ying'er pleading desperately with Bai Xiaosheng.
"Fourth Senior Brother, please don't go. Actually, I... I didn't see Second Senior Sister..."
Ye Li was quite surprised to hear Su Ying'er's words. Was Su Ying'er about to reveal her true colors?
Bai Xiaosheng, who was trying to trick her, was equally stunned. "You didn't see it? Then why did you say you saw Second Senior Sister in front of Master, and say those things? Are you deliberately framing Second Senior Sister?"
No, no, no.
Su Ying'er panicked and tried her best to explain, "What I mean is that I didn't see Second Senior Sister's face clearly. She was wearing a veil at the time, and her figure was no different from Second Senior Sister's, so I thought it was her."
Bai Xiaosheng wasn't as easily fooled as Yuan Ce and Mo Hannian, and immediately raised a question, "Didn't you say that your second senior sister said a lot of rebellious things to you? Couldn't you recognize your second senior sister's voice?"
"I……"
Su Ying'er was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and she stammered, unable to give a coherent answer.
Bai Xiaosheng stared at her for a while, his ever-smiling face turning serious. "Junior Sister, if you don't tell the truth, then I'll have to take you to confront Master."
"No!"
If her master finds out she's lying, then all the good reputation she's just earned will be ruined.
Then the entire sect will know that she would stop at nothing to frame Ye Li!
How could she possibly stay there any longer!
