Chapter 159 Lu Ziting Angrily Slays Su Ying'er
The bloodstains on the hem of the garment had dried, revealing a dark, rusty color.
When the group saw the character "ē" above, their thoughts were drawn back to that day.
When Dahei returned carrying a piece of clothing in its mouth, they were celebrating Su Ying'er's upcoming becoming their junior sister.
Not only that, they also scoffed at Ye Li's "scheming" behavior, believing that she was fabricating stories out of thin air and saying countless hurtful things.
Moreover, Ye Li's ghost witnessed this scene...
For a moment, the cave was completely silent, with only the trembling breathing of the few people that could be heard.
Master Qingyu closed his eyes, pointed slightly with his hand, and several pieces of cloth floated up.
The character "ē" on the hem of the garment overlapped with the character on the clothing, making the previously inconspicuous difference immediately apparent.
Master Qingyu's gaze was deep as he slowly looked at Su Ying'er, "Do you know your crime?"
Although he didn't say it outright, everyone present understood what he meant.
Without thinking twice, Wen Yao stumbled to the floating fabric and ripped it off.
He looked at the left side of the garment, then at the right side of the small garment and handkerchief, comparing and examining each item one by one.
He muttered to himself, "This is fake, this is too...it's all fake, all fake..."
He seemed to have gone mad, the cloth in his hand fell to the ground, and all he could repeat was this one sentence.
Upon seeing this, Lu Ziting and Mo Hannian quickly stepped forward, picked it up, and began to compare it as well.
At first glance, they look almost the same.
However, upon closer inspection, the characters embroidered on the hem of Ye Li's clothes were noticeably sharper and more square, while the characters on the small silk handkerchiefs had more rounded edges.
Apart from that, everything else is exactly the same, which shows that the person who imitated it also put in a lot of effort.
The truth came out, and Lu Ziting's hand fell limply to his side, his voice hoarse, "Ah Li didn't betray me, she didn't..."
Ah Li did not betray him, so how painful must it have been for him to see him so intimate with Su Ying'er after Ah Li's death?
A muffled thud.
Lu Ziting's knees slammed heavily onto the ground. He knelt down, clutching his chest, his heart belatedly wracked with pain.
He actually doubted Ah Li, his childhood sweetheart...
What did he do...?
Seeing this, even Mo Hannian, who often used this incident to attack Ye Li's character, fell silent.
It turns out, everything was fake.
The abuse of Yuan Ce was fake, the coercion of him was fake, even the affair with Wen Yao was fake...
But the harm they caused to their senior sister was real...
Not only during her lifetime, but even after her death, she will be despised and her soul will be restless.
He is guilty.
The entire Lotus Gate is guilty.
Mo Hannian also knelt before the blood-stained cloth and bowed his head deeply.
Ye Li's eyes turned icy cold upon seeing this scene.
They were unmoved when she died in front of them, but now they're willing to kneel before this piece of cloth to repent. What's the use?
In the chaos, Su Ying'er was too frightened to speak. She hunched her shoulders tightly, her eyes were red and swollen and she kept crying, but she dared not make a sound or let anyone notice her.
She was afraid of facing their subsequent questioning, and even more afraid of the consequences that would follow.
The more she tried to hide, the less Ye Li would let her have her way.
She coldly reminded him, "Isn't it a bit premature to be sad now? Have you forgotten what caused this whole thing?"
Ye Li's words were like a bucket of cold water, waking them up, especially Lu Ziting, who immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Su Ying'er.
"It was you! You forged all of these things!"
Su Ying'er dared not admit it and continued to argue, "It wasn't me. I just saw how hard it was for my third senior brother to be in love and wanted to help him. I didn't forge it. I really didn't."
Seeing that she was still unrepentant, Master Qingyu's eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp. "Su Ying'er, if you don't tell the truth, I will send you to the Discipline Hall to be punished."
Ordination Hall...
She was just a mortal. If she were to enter those torture chambers and water dungeons, she would die within a day. At that point, she wouldn't even be able to stay in the Lotus Gate, let alone live!
Driven to the brink, Su Ying'er's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and she spoke in a trembling voice, "Ying'er... Ying'er only admires Senior Brother and hopes to be with him, so I did all this."
"Su Ying'er!"
Upon hearing her confession, Lu Ziting was enraged and thrust his sword closer to her, shouting, "It was you! It was you!"
When he repeated it a second time, his eyes widened in anger, his nostrils flared violently, and his roar seemed to vibrate the surrounding air.
He was not only furious that Su Ying'er had framed Ye Li, but also angry that she dared to scheme against him.
What he thought was mutual affection and uncontrollable feelings was actually all part of her scheme.
This vile and despicable mortal woman actually caused him to lose his beloved.
How could he possibly swallow this insult!
Lu Ziting nearly lost his mind, wishing he could immediately slay this stain on his life. "You bitch! You killed Ah Li, you'll pay with your life!"
Mo Hannian was shocked upon seeing this and shouted in a low voice, "Senior Brother!"
He tried to stop them, but he was standing too far away to block them.
Su Ying'er was powerless to stop it. Seeing the sword about to pierce down, she cried out, "Master, save me!"
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when she reached out towards Master Qingyu, she revealed the mark on her arm.
With a clang.
The sword in Lu Ziting's hand flew out.
His hands went numb, and he looked at Master Qingyu, who was stopping him, with resentment in his heart, "Why won't you let your disciple kill this poisonous woman!"
Master Qingyu's eyes turned cold. "Whether to kill my disciple or not is a decision only I can make. Lu Ziting, do you intend to be my master?"
Although his voice wasn't loud, he was clearly angry. Lu Ziting hurriedly apologized, "That's not what I meant. It's just that she killed A-Li, and I really can't bear to see her alive!"
Su Ying'er had already taken advantage of Lu Ziting's sword being knocked away and hid in Mo Hannian's arms. She was relieved to be alive and couldn't help but whisper, "But I only forged those clothes. I didn't ask you to ignore your senior sister."
"Iā¦ā¦"
Lu Ziting choked up.
Ye Li twitched her lips, and Su Ying'er did speak the truth.
Yes, Su Ying'er did indeed have a premeditated plan, but the ones who truly made the decision to leave her to die were themselves.
At this moment, Lu Ziting is using the righteous pretext of avenging her, but whether he is genuinely indignant on her behalf or eager to smear Su Ying'er and maintain his own gentlemanly reputation, only he knows.
Su Ying'er is despicable, so what good are they?
The atmosphere was quiet.
Seeing that Master Qingyu remained silent, Su Ying'er huddled in Mo Hannian's arms, trembling all over.
With the truth exposed, whether she can stay in the Lotus Sect or not depends entirely on Master Qingyu's decision.
No, if Master Qingyu really disregarded all sentimentality, then she would not only be expelled from the Lotus Sect, but perhaps she would not even be able to stay in the Heavenly Gate Sect!
Everything she has now will vanish into thin air!
