Chapter 191 It's Time for Su Ying'er to Settle Things Down
Mo Hannian dodged awkwardly and growled at Lu Ziting, who had inexplicably attacked him, "Are you crazy!"
Lu Ziting's face turned ashen. He drew his sword and pointed it at Mo Hannian and Su Ying'er. "You still have the nerve to ask! Am I crazy? Am I crazy not to have seen that you two have been having an affair all along!"
These words stunned not only Mo Hannian, but also Su Ying'er.
Realizing what had happened, she cried out, "Senior Brother, how could you frame me like this? Ying'er only has eyes for you!"
Shut up, you bitch!
Lu Ziting gritted his teeth, "You abandoned me in the Golden Sands Illusionary Realm and fled alone, yet you risked your life for Mo Hannian's antidote and even offered up your spiritual power. Do you think I'd believe you two for not having an affair?!"
"..."
Su Ying'er opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word; she was now cornered.
If she claims she took the antidote, then she will have to endure Lu Ziting's suspicions.
If she said no, then Mo Hannian would never care whether she lived or died again.
For a moment, Su Ying'er was caught in a dilemma, unable to admit it or deny it.
Her distressed expression only fueled Lu Ziting's anger, causing the veins on his forehead to bulge with rage. "I actually gave up Ah Li for a fickle and shameless woman like you! I will never keep you by my side again. I'm divorcing you tomorrow!"
"Hey! Senior Brother!"
Su Ying'er didn't stop Lu Ziting; she eagerly pulled Mo Hannian, wanting him to help her.
But when she turned her head, Mo Hannian was looking at her with a complicated expression. "You... do you really like me?"
Su Ying'er was about to deny it, but then she thought that since Lu Ziting had already left, she might as well go along with it and admit it. In the future, Mo Hannian would definitely take better care of her.
Thinking of this, she lowered her head, looking as if she dared not face Mo Hannian. "Brother, Ying'er knows this is wrong, but Ying'er really can't control herself. But don't worry, I didn't mean anything by it. I just hope you can be safe and well."
Mo Hannian had lived in the Lotus Sect since childhood. He was stunned by Su Ying'er's sudden "confession". He took a step back to create distance and said, "Ying'er, I have always only regarded you as a younger sister. Besides, you have already married the senior brother, so you should be faithful to him."
He said with a determined look, "However, since this matter was caused by me, I will transfer spiritual energy to you starting tomorrow, so you won't have to work so hard."
Su Ying'er achieved her goal, and the corners of her lips quickly turned up, but when she looked up, she had a pitiful look on her face again. "No, I did all this for you willingly. I didn't tell you at first because I was afraid you would feel indebted to me, but I didn't expect you to find out anyway."
In the darkness of the night, her tear-filled eyes were incredibly moving.
Mo Hannian wanted to wipe away her tears, but realizing her "feelings" for him, he put his hand down.
"I cannot reciprocate your feelings, so let's make up for it here. It's getting late, you should get some rest."
Watching his retreating figure, Su Ying'er revealed a smug smile.

next day
The news that Su Ying'er sacrificed her future to cure Mo Hannian's poison quickly spread throughout the Lotus Sect.
Previously, everyone was discussing Su Ying'er's embarrassing wedding, but now that they hear about her selflessness, public opinion has changed.
"Have you heard? Junior Sister Ying'er cured Senior Brother Mo's Gu poison."
"I've heard about it too, and the price is that Junior Sister Ying'er will never be able to cultivate again. This kind of exchange is worse than death."
"That's right, Junior Sister Ying'er has truly given her all for the Lotus Sect."
"..."
These words naturally reached Master Qingyu's ears as well.
Therefore, he summoned Su Ying'er and Mo Hannian to Lotus Cave.
"What's being discussed outside is true."
Before Su Ying'er could speak, Mo Hannian said, "It really is Master, Junior Sister Ying'er..."
He glanced at Su Ying'er, then looked away, saying, "She has done so much for me."
On the high seat, Master Qingyu's indifferent brows relaxed slightly, and he then looked at Su Ying'er.
"Han Nian's Gu poison is also a knot in my heart. Your willingness to make such a sacrifice shows your noble character. And my Lotus Sect is only worthy of people with this kind of character."
Upon understanding Master Qingyu's implied meaning, Su Ying'er was instantly thrilled. "Does Master mean that Ying'er can rejoin the Lotus Sect?!"
Master Qingyu nodded. "It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Prepare yourself for tomorrow and seek a new master."
Su Ying'er was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Master! Ying'er will definitely be careful with her words and actions this time and will never make Master angry again!"
Upon hearing her address, Master Qingyu initially wanted to remind her that she hadn't yet formally become his disciple again and offered tea, but considering that she had already returned to his tutelage in just one day, he refrained from doing so and simply nodded slightly, "Alright, you may go and prepare."
Leaving Lotus Cave, Su Ying'er was overjoyed.
It was worth it for her to start spreading the news early in the morning. Not only could it prevent Lu Ziting from revealing the matter of divorcing his wife, but it also made Qingyu Zhenren aware of her contribution.
Su Ying'er looked down at the misty Tianmen Mountain and smirked, "Hmph, Ye Li, you think your little tricks can drive me out of the Lotus Sect? Dream on!"
-
The news that Su Ying'er sacrificed herself for others and was reinstated into the Lotus Sect by Master Qingyu also reached the outer sect.
Upon receiving this news, Ye Li hadn't done anything, but she had infuriated Sang Sang.
"Isn't Master Qingyu always known for upholding justice? How come he's so lenient with Su Ying'er! When it comes to punishment, he only gives a symbolic penalty, but when it comes to reward, he gives her an astronomical reward. She's really making herself look good!"
She cursed for a while, then turned around and saw Ye Li wiping her sword. She ran to her side and circled around her, saying, "Little Li, why aren't you angry at all? That Su Ying'er stole your spirit beast!"
Upon mentioning the spirit beast, Ye Li paused in wiping her sword.
Having gone through so much, she no longer gets angry or sad for anyone from the Lotus Sect.
However, she really didn't expect that Su Ying'er could connect the matter of forming a pact with Sha Luoru with the matter of Mo Hannian's detoxification.
This would make sense even if she had a few Gu worms.
It's no wonder that Su Ying'er managed to outmaneuver the Lotus Sect members in just one year, given her ability to turn the tide in such a desperate situation.
However...
Ye Li brushed the sword against her wrist, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
She is not the same person she used to be.
Faced with Sangsang's indignation, she calmly asked, "What time is the apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow?"
"It is the hour of Si (9-11 AM)."
"Many disciples will go to see it."
Sangsang tilted her head and said, "Probably. The news of Su Ying'er saving Mo Hannian has spread far and wide. When she becomes a disciple again, many disciples will definitely come to witness the ceremony."
Ye Li nodded, "That's good."
"That's good?"
Sangsang looked puzzled. "What's so good about it?"
Ye Li did not answer, but simply put the cleaned sword back into its sheath.
Of course, that would be great.
It begins where it ends.
Everything began with that apprenticeship banquet, and now everything will end at that same banquet.
Su Ying'er, it's time to put an end to this between us.
