Chapter 180 Su Ying'er: Jiang Li is Ye Li!
When Su Ying'er went in, Feng Jingxuan was already inside.
He knelt on the ground, his face no longer showing his usual carefree and unrestrained demeanor, but rather a solemn and serious expression.
The person kneeling in the direction he was standing was dressed in a black robe, his face obscured by a strange ghost mask.
Having not been summoned for a long time, Su Ying'er cautiously stepped forward to bow.
"Your Excellency."
The masked man didn't look at her, but she was used to it and quietly stood aside.
My heart pounded. Why did the Lord suddenly come?
Ye Li is already dead, so there's nothing more she can do.
To her surprise, Feng Jingxuan's next words shocked her.
“My lord, I have investigated these past few days. Jiang Li is none other than Ye Li, who was supposed to be dead. She is not dead at all.”
Su Ying'er: "What?!"
-
Emerging from the secret passage, Su Ying'er's beautiful face was contorted with rage, her hands gripping her handkerchief tightly, her eyes burning with hatred.
Jiang Li is actually Ye Li!
She's not dead!
Not only did she not die, she has been lurking among them all this time!
She should have known!
Who else knows each of their weaknesses so well and still opposes her at every turn!
Thinking that Ye Li was not dead, yet had been hiding in the shadows, using Jiang Li's identity to sow discord among them, not only alienating Jiang Li from everyone but also making Lu Ziting despise her in every way. Even though Lu Ziting was her rightful husband, he praised her endlessly!
It's all Ye Li's fault!
Su Ying'er lifted her skirt and rushed out. She wanted to tell her master and her fellow disciples how scheming Ye Li was!
But she stopped when she reached the entrance of the Lotus Cave.
No, that won't work.
The Ye Li of today is no longer the same person who was once despised. After she left, her fellow disciples all remembered her kindness. If she were to reveal the truth now, they wouldn't blame her; instead, they would bring her back, cherish her, and love her...
At that point, there will be even less room for her in the Lotus Sect!
She couldn't act impulsively; she had to find the right moment to let everyone see through Ye Li's false mask!
Thinking of the Lord's orders before she left, Su Ying'er's eyes flashed with malice.
Ye Li, Ye Li, what good is it if you come back to life?
It will still kill you!
"Junior Sister Ying'er, why aren't you resting yet at this late?"
Su Ying'er snapped out of her daze; it was a patrolling disciple passing by.
Wait, it's so late!
She jolted awake, "What time is it now?!"
Her voice was so shrill that the man was startled and took a step back before saying, "It will be midnight in an hour."
It’s over!
If she doesn't cultivate soon, she'll be drained dry by Shaluo Ru!
Time is of the essence; there's definitely no time to start cultivating now.
Su Ying'er quickly opened her storage pouch and stuffed all the pills they had given her over the past year into her mouth, swallowing them whole without even having time to chew them.
The bitter pill stuck in her throat, making her choke and roll her eyes back.
She didn't dare spend time looking for water; after swallowing it, she immediately regulated her breathing.
These pills were given to her by them when they used to dote on her, their junior sister, and many of them were of medium to high quality.
Soon, spiritual energy began to circulate in her dantian.
The feeling of abundant spiritual energy was very novel to Su Ying'er. Not only that, the spiritual energy even began to gather, and she could soon draw the energy into her body and enter the Qi Refining stage!
Once she enters the Qi Refining stage, she will be a complete spiritual cultivator!
Just as Su Ying'er was intensifying her cultivation, suddenly, her dantian, which had been full of spiritual energy, was instantly sucked away by an unknown force, leaving not a single drop.
"My spiritual power!"
When Shaluoru spoke earlier, Su Ying'er didn't have much of a feeling about it.
Because she had never had spiritual power, she couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose it.
But now, all the spiritual energy she had accumulated by consuming so many pills to draw qi into her body has just vanished!
She was unwilling to accept it!
It's all Jiang Li's fault... no! It's Ye Li's fault!
She said that Ye Li was being too kind and suddenly agreed to return the spirit beast to her. She must have sensed something was wrong with the spirit beast and was deliberately scheming against her!
Unfortunately, it's too late to find out now. Not only has her hard-earned spiritual power vanished, but no matter how much she cultivates in the future, she'll only be doing all the work for someone else!
Once it's light, someone will discover that the two disciples are missing. They were helping her look after the spirit beasts, and someone will definitely come to ask her about them. She needs to prepare in advance!
-
Early morning, outside the gate.
The disciples of the Disciple Residence all went to the North Peak to cultivate.
The spiritual energy of Tianmen Sect flows from bottom to top, becoming purer the higher one goes.
However, these ordinary outer disciples cannot go up there casually; they all go to the North Peak, where the spiritual energy is relatively abundant.
However, even this place isn't always accessible. During the day, it's where inner disciples attend classes, and they can only come here for breathing exercises and cultivation in the morning and evening.
Ye Li was among them; she found a secluded spot on the edge and began cultivating.
Although her soul cultivation had broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, it was not something she could use casually, so she planned to cultivate Jiang Li's water spirit root as well.
Ye Li was already very familiar with these cultivation techniques, and with the help of her top-grade water spiritual root, it wasn't long before her dantian showed faint signs of a breakthrough.
Those around Ye Li sensed the unusual fluctuations in spiritual energy and all looked at her.
"Oh my god, Junior Sister Jiang Li broke through on her first day of cultivation here? We're doomed, we can't live like this."
Sangsang, standing to the side, felt proud and said with her hands on her hips, "Of course! Little Pear has a top-grade water spirit root, so breaking through is just a matter of minutes."
The disciple wailed, "As expected, comparisons are odious."
"Alright, let's use this time to cultivate a little longer. The inner disciples will be here soon."
"..."
Ye Li was completely unaware of the outside world; she was focused on breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
When she successfully broke through and opened her eyes, the people around her had changed.
It turned out that it was time for the inner disciples' class, and since everyone saw that she was breaking through, no one called her.
Ye Li quietly got up, thinking of leaving first.
Suddenly, I sensed an unusual gaze.
She looked up and met Chu Wei's deep eyes.
It turned out that the person who was teaching swordsmanship to these inner disciples today was none other than Chu Wei.
Their eyes met, and Chu Wei frowned slightly.
He then instructed Mu Chen and Mu Xi to go and spar with Ye Li before walking over to her.
"Where have you been these past few days?"
Chu Wei was one of the few who knew that Ye Li could separate her soul from her body. Upon hearing that Ye Li had been unconscious for several days, he knew that she must have gone somewhere.
Ye Li didn't want to reveal Xie Sixing's matter, so she said vaguely, "I went to find a place to cultivate, and I didn't notice the change in time outside during my seclusion."
Chu Wei frowned, then nodded. "Let me know next time."
"Um."
We finally managed to fool them.
Before Ye Li could even breathe a sigh of relief, Xie Sixing's voice rang in her mind.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Taoist priest, you've gone astray! You can just spout lies like that. Or are you afraid people will find out that you and I are having an affair behind our backs?"
Is this how you use the word "having a leg"?
Besides, she wasn't lying; she really did go to cultivate.
Ye Li coughed lightly, "By the way, has Feng Jingxuan made any unusual moves these past few days?"
Chu Wei nodded, and to avoid being overheard, he leaned closer to Ye Li.
At the same time, the inner disciples behind them stared with eyes as wide as a bull's.
"Wait, am I seeing things? The cold-faced Yama King, Sect Master Chu, is actually chatting and laughing with a female disciple?"
"Are you blind? Where did you see Sect Leader Chu chatting and laughing?"
"It's amazing that you only talk and never laugh! You've been learning swordsmanship from Sect Master Chu for so long, have you ever talked to him this much?"
"Uh- Every time, before I can even speak, Sect Master Chu sends me flying."
"cut."
Just as the disciple was about to mock him again, he suddenly pointed at Ye Li and exclaimed, "Look, look! Didn't they kiss?"
"Where? Where!"
"..."
Where everyone's eyes met.
Ye Li was unaware that she had become the center of attention; her pupils dilated as Chu Wei spoke.
"What did you say? You found out..."
