Chapter 133 Chu Wei Wants to Revive Li Yuehua
Lu Ziting carefully examined the character "璃" on the edge of the small garment, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.
Wen Yao pressed on, "How was it!"
He shook his head. "Although it looks very similar to Ye Li's embroidery, I still feel like something is off. I remember that Master has a corner of Ye Li's Taoist robe. We'll know once Master comes out and we compare them."
Wen Yao also guessed that this matter would be difficult to investigate. "Alright, let's wait for Master to come out before we talk about it."
His gaze fell on the few small garments in his palm, and his voice became hoarse, "If, really, someone is impersonating Ah Li, then I..."
Wen Yao didn't continue, but the thought of that possibility made Lu Ziting's heart clench.
Although he had feelings for Ying'er that day, he couldn't easily sever his decades-long relationship with A'Li.
The reason he gave up on Ye Li so quickly was because she was unfaithful to him.
But if it is, then someone is secretly sabotaging all of this...
That is, he misunderstood Ah Li, and misunderstood this woman who was so devoted to him.
He felt like he was struggling to breathe whenever he thought about that possibility.
If that's really the case, then Ah Li, Ah Li...
-
Time flies, and five days have passed since Ye Li woke up.
This means that she has been imprisoned by Chu Wei for five days.
During this period, apart from Chu Wei's two personal disciples bringing her some medicine and supplements, she couldn't even see a single person.
That day, Mu Chen and Mu Xi came to deliver medicine to her as usual. Ye Li finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Where is Sect Leader Chu? I want to see him."
Mu Chen and Mu Xi exchanged a glance and then shrugged in unison.
It means there's no chance.
Even Ye Li, with her good temper, couldn't hold back any longer and said coldly, "Does your master intend to lock me up for the rest of my life?!"
Mu Chen nodded seriously, "That's possible."
Mu Xi echoed, "Mhm."
Ye Li almost vomited blood when she saw how serious they were.
After they left, she began trying to break the barrier.
However, Chu Wei, as the sect leader, was definitely more powerful than her. Moreover, her soul had now developed a physical form and could no longer travel freely as before.
Just as Ye Li was considering the possibility of screaming for help, a soft laugh sounded from the doorway, "No wonder Chu Wei hasn't let me come lately, turns out he's keeping a mistress hidden away."
"who!"
A man dressed in a wide red robe leaned against the door, fanning himself with a fan. His affected mannerisms exuded an indescribable air of elegance.
Ye Li's brow twitched slightly. "Sect Leader Feng, what are you doing here?"
Feng Jingxuan tapped the handle of his fan against his palm and circled around her. "I wanted to ask you that too."
He chuckled mischievously, "Or is it that the old iron tree has blossomed, and after you've taken it, it's reluctant to let you go?"
The more he spoke, the less plausible it seemed, so Ye Li couldn't help but interrupt, "Sect Leader Chu and I have some misunderstandings; it's not what Sect Leader Feng thinks."
"Oh dear, isn't it all about misunderstandings between men and women?"
Feng Jingxuan strolled around the room. "However, locking the girl up is not a good idea."
He suddenly turned around and approached Ye Li, "How about this sect leader elopes with you?"
Just as Ye Li was feeling a little uncomfortable at this distance, his words diverted her attention: "Can you take me out?"
Feng Jingxuan's peach blossom eyes immediately lit up with a smile, "So it really was Chu Wei who locked you up?"
He straightened up, his expression ambiguous. "This is the first time I've seen Chu Wei so domineering. Little beauty, tell me, what did you do to offend him?"
Mingming Feng Jingxuan's tone was extremely relaxed, and his demeanor was utterly dashing, as if he were just asking casually.
But Ye Li felt a little more wary.
She hadn't forgotten that she had two suspects that day: Chu Wei and Feng Jingxuan.
Furthermore, after she injured the ghost mask that attacked her that day, she found the same kind of injury on the shoulders of both Feng Jingxuan and Chu Wei.
Before she could determine who the masked man was, Feng Jingxuan was still a suspect.
Thinking of this, Ye Li also sensed that Feng Jingxuan was somewhat suspicious.
As the sect leader, isn't he being overly interested in her, an outer disciple?
And today, he inexplicably appeared here, his words subtly probing why she was imprisoned here…
Was he genuinely curious, or did he have some ulterior motive?
Thinking of this, when Ye Li answered Feng Jingxuan, she once again used the excuse of "admiring" Chu Wei, and said lightly, "Just as Sect Master Feng said, I was too rash and offended Sect Master Chu. Being locked up here is my own fault."
Feng Jingxuan was stunned for two seconds, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, so that's how it is. Luckily I saved you from Chu Wei that day, otherwise I really wouldn't have heard such a funny story."
He laughed heartily, completely oblivious to the masked man's sinister and terrifying nature.
Seeing him like this made Ye Li somewhat uncertain again.
After laughing, Feng Jingxuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "But that old iron tree has never associated with women since his master died. You really are an exception."
Upon hearing him mention Chu Wei's master, Ye Li's eyes flickered slightly. When she looked up again, she appeared completely unaware. "Master?"
Feng Jingxuan tapped the dimple on his lips with her fan as if she had let something slip, "Oops, I let it slip."
He chuckled and said, "Little beauty, Chu Wei's master is a dangerous person who can't be mentioned. Don't tell anyone, or we'll both be punished."
The more he said this, the more Ye Li felt that he knew something. She paused, then asked casually, "As the sect leader of Kongshan Sect, Master Chu must also be highly respected. Is there anything you can't say?"
Feng Jingxuan smiled meaningfully, his folding fan covering his face as he whispered, "Naturally, it's because his master isn't a Daoist cultivator, but... an evil one."
Ye Li was taken aback, and subconsciously retorted, "How could that be? If she were truly an evil cultivator, why would Sect Master Chu take her as his master?"
"Good question."
Feng Jingxuan closed his folding fan and tapped the table like a storyteller striking a gavel. "That's because his master had been hiding his identity until a mission revealed his true nature. He joined forces with the demonic path and killed many elders of the Tianmen Sect."
Ye Li frowned.
So, that's why Li Yuehua was put on trial?
This is what happened after Li Yuehua went to the Golden Sand Illusionary Realm.
She always felt that Li Yuehua's death was so swift and tragic, it was not like the actions of the demonic path at all.
Just as Ye Li was deep in thought, Feng Jingxuan said with a smile that seemed to be mixed with a sigh, "It's a pity for Chu Wei. He even went so far as to break into prison. If it weren't for the sect leader's mercy, Chu Wei would probably be dead along with his master now."
"Prison break?"
Ye Li was quite surprised. This kind of unconventional behavior was completely unrelated to the serious and steady Chu Wei.
"You can't tell, can you?"
Feng Jingxuan blinked and said, "He did more than just this one crazy thing back then. He even wanted to bring his master back to life."
Upon hearing the words "resurrection," Ye Li's pupils dilated sharply. "What did you say?"
