Chapter 79 You know perfectly well what you did with Ye Li!
Master Qingyu could no longer answer Wen Yao; the blood had stained his ethereal face.
The stench of blood in his mouth grew stronger and stronger, to the point that he vomited blood with almost every cough.
Lu Ziting was frightened and scolded Wen Yao for still begging.
"Enough! Master is already sad enough, what more do you want!"
Hearing his annoyed tone, Wen Yao looked at him in disbelief. "You were once A-Li's fiancé, and you were with her for many years. Now that you know A-Li died because you turned a blind eye, you don't feel a single bit of guilt?"
"I……"
Lu Ziting was also in great pain when he learned that Ye Li had died on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, but as soon as he saw Wen Yao, he could recall the scene when he found Ye Li's undergarments in his room.
It's easy to imagine what happened between them involving such private items!
The mere thought of Ye Li, who appeared as pure and noble as a saint in front of him, secretly engaging in passionate lovemaking with Wen Yao filled him with uncontrollable rage.
And Wen Yao actually had the nerve to question him!
Anger and grief intertwined, causing him to blurt out, "Fiancé? I think you're the one who's her fiancé! You two have even done *that* kind of thing, so why didn't you save her!"
Wen Yao was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what he was talking about. He was both ashamed and furious. "Lu Ziting! You're slandering me!"
"I'm not making baseless accusations; I saw it with my own eyes..."
"Master!"
Su Ying'er interrupted the two arguing with a hoarse shout.
Master Qingyu's face was as pale as paper, and blood had stained his front.
Ignoring the argument, Wen Yao hurriedly sealed Qingyu Zhenren's reversed spiritual meridians and took out a small bottle, placing it under Qingyu Zhenren's mouth and nose.
When Master Qingyu opened his eyes, they were bloodshot. He called out to Su Ying'er, "A-Li."
Su Ying'er lay on his knees, her eyes brimming with tears, "Master, it's me, Ying'er. You don't only have Second Senior Sister, you also have me."
Qingyu Zhenren seemed not to hear, and murmured Ye Li's name.
"Ah Li, come here, your master will teach you swordsmanship."
Seeing that Master Qingyu was going mad, Su Ying'er cried out, "Master, we are all very sad about Senior Sister's death, but Ying'er has to say something she shouldn't: if Senior Sister hadn't associated with that evil spirit before, this tragedy wouldn't have happened!"
Wen Yao scolded, "Su Ying'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not lying! Fifth Senior Brother was poisoned by the Gu poison because he witnessed their interaction!"
"What did you say?"
Master Qingyu came to his senses, the turmoil still lingering in his eyes. Now, his cold glint was particularly chilling. "What exactly is going on with Xiao Wu's Gu poison?"
Su Ying'er brought out her previous excuse again.
With a sob in her voice, she said, "If I hadn't overheard my senior sister plotting with the masked man, how would I have known that my fifth senior brother was attacked at Moon White Lake in Kuangshagang?"
When this was brought up, Wen Yao was speechless.
At that time, Su Ying'er had not yet mastered the basics. She didn't even know what Moon White Lake or Mad Sand Ridge was, let alone what it was. Yet she could accurately describe all of this.
Wen Yao didn't want to doubt Ye Li, but all of this was truly puzzling.
Seeing that Master Qingyu was no longer as grief-stricken as before, Su Ying'er continued to sob, "And Senior Sister's final realization is also full of doubts! If she really perished together with that ghost-faced demon, why couldn't the Grand Elder lead people to search for her for several days? Even the missing disciples were found, but she and that demon vanished without a trace. If she deliberately used this method to escape, wouldn't Master have suffered for nothing!"
yes.
If she really died, then why did only her body disappear?
The grief on Qingyu Zhenren's face gradually subsided. He was indeed heartbroken that his beloved disciple, whom he had raised with his own hands, had died, but if she were to willingly fall into depravity, then Heaven would not tolerate her.
Even if she doesn't die, he will still clean house.
He suppressed the emptiness in his heart. "You just said that the disciples of the Misty Camphor Forest have been found?"
Lu Ziting replied, "Yes, but they're all dead. Only one person is alive, named Jiang Li."
"Bring her here. I will question her myself."
Hearing that they wanted to see Jiang Li, Wen Yao felt a pang of panic. He still hoped that after clearing A Li's name, she could return to the Lotus Sect. But if she heard that he was dead and they were still blaming her, how heartbroken she would be. Perhaps, she would never want them again.
"etc."
Wen Yao stopped him, saying, "Master, we have already asked...Junior Sister Jiang Li. If you have any questions, why don't you ask me directly, so that Master doesn't have to waste his energy asking questions?"
Lu Ziting sneered, "Are you afraid that Master will waste his energy, or are you afraid that Master will find out that you gave Junior Sister's Marrow Cleansing Pill to her!"
Wen Yao realized something, "You went to find her! Do you even know that she is...?"
"presumptuous!"
Master Qingyu's face was frosty. "The Marrow Cleansing Pill was prepared by me for Ying'er, and you actually gave it to someone else in secret!"
"She's no stranger! She—"
Wen Yao paused.
No, they still have misunderstandings about Ah Li, and it's not appropriate to let them know right now.
She is the person I admire.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yao's body slammed heavily into the pillar.
He fell to the ground, spitting blood.
Master Qingyu stopped and said coldly, "You actually gave the Marrow Cleansing Pill to an outer disciple you just met without permission."
"Pass down the order: Wen Yao disobeyed his master's command, his injuries are not to be treated, and he is to be imprisoned in a water dungeon for three days!"
Wen Yao struggled, "Master, I am willing to accept punishment, please let Jiang Li go!"
"Master! You can't make things difficult for Jiang Li, or you'll regret it!"
"..."
Master Qingyu took these words as a threat.
With a flick of his sleeve, he threw the teacup on the table to the ground, exclaiming, "How could I possibly have such an insolent and disrespectful disciple?"
"Master, please calm down."
Su Ying'er said understandingly, "It's alright. Although Sister Jiang Li has obtained a top-grade water spirit root, Ying'er will not hold a grudge against Third Senior Brother. Ying'er only hopes that Senior Brother and Master can be well. That is Ying'er's biggest wish."
Master Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly. "You're saying she washed away the dust and obtained a top-grade water spirit root?"
"Yes!" Lu Ziting said angrily, "That spirit should have belonged to Junior Sister Ying'er. I went to ask her to return it today, but she was extremely arrogant. In addition, Elder Song interfered, so I had no choice but to ask Master to make a decision."
"Let's forget about it."
Su Ying'er patted her chest, "That Elder Song looks so fierce, and his words seem to show no respect for Master. I don't want Master to have a conflict because of me."
Master Qingyu's eyes turned cold. "A mere outer sect elder has no right to interfere in the affairs of my Lotus Sect. Summon that disciple tomorrow, and I will have my own way of dealing with him."
-
The next morning, Ye Li received a message from Master Qingyu.
The disciple who came to deliver the message looked on with envy, "You just broke through to the highest grade of water spirit root yesterday, and today you were summoned by True Person Qingyu. It seems they're going to let you enter the Lotus Sect."
The Lotus Sect surpasses the other five sects and is the dream of all outer disciples.
But Ye Li knew perfectly well that Qingyu Zhenren was calling her at this time not because he valued her aptitude, but most likely because it was related to the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Lotus Gate
Ye Li knew she would return to the Lotus Gate one day, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Stepping into this place again, she had a feeling of being in another world.
Everything was so familiar, yet it felt utterly foreign to me.
Just as she was looking around, a rope flew over and bound her tightly.
