Chapter 16 No one is leaving until Ye Li is found today!
The other outer disciples dispersed into their respective groups, leaving only Sun Yun shamelessly behind.
So in the end, it turned out that Su Ying'er, Bai Xiaosheng, Nie Hongye and Sun Yun traveled together.
Ye Li followed behind them. The whole morning passed, and they searched the entire camphor forest, but they couldn't find any trace of her.
During the break, Su Ying'er propped her chin on her hand and looked at Nie Hongye with a smile, saying, "Senior Sister Hongye, thank you so much for helping us find Second Senior Sister. Let's stop here for today."
Nie Hongye glanced at her sideways, "Are you leading the team or am I? Let me tell you, if you don't find Ye Li today, nobody's leaving!"
"this……"
Seeing Su Ying'er's discomfiture, Ye Li inexplicably wanted to laugh.
It's true that every creature has its nemesis; no matter how many tricks Su Ying'er uses, they're useless against someone as stubborn as Nie Hongye.
only……
She looked around and realized that the camphor forest had not yet opened another entrance.
Although she had been inside a few times, she had no idea how to enter the space where the masked man was.
"I almost forgot!"
Bai Xiaosheng clapped his hands, "We have a magic weapon, we can just use the Spirit-Finding Disc to find people."
He looked at Su Ying'er, "Ying'er, quickly take out the Spirit-Searching Disc."
"Why didn't you say you had a magic weapon earlier!" Nie Hongye reached out her hand. "Give it to me."
Before Su Ying'er could react, the impatient Nie Hongye took away her storage pouch.
"etc-"
Su Ying'er had not yet cultivated a spiritual body, and her storage pouch had not yet recognized a master, so Nie Hongye easily took out the Spirit-Searching Disc.
Upon seeing the Spirit-Seeking Disc, Ye Li's eyes lit up.
With this, they can find her location!
Bai Xiaosheng put the wind chimes he had taken from Mo Hannian yesterday into the spirit-finding disk.
Golden incantations rose up, and the pointer on the compass began to turn.
The Spirit Searching Disc has been activated!
Several pairs of eyes, each with a different emotion, stared at the compass needle.
Nie Hongye's eyes nearly crossed as she pointed at the constantly spinning pointer, "Is it... lost?"
Bai Xiaosheng was also puzzled, "This Spirit-Seeking Compass is a high-level magic artifact that has never malfunctioned before, so how could it be like this?"
The pointer kept going round and round, as if something had gone wrong.
Only Ye Li knew that the compass wasn't broken, but rather that the entrance to the Misty Camphor Forest where she was located hadn't been opened yet, which was why the compass didn't have a fixed direction.
As everyone stared at the compass, Su Ying'er slapped her forehead. "Oh, I remember now! Master said that although this Spirit-Finding Compass can find people, if the other party doesn't want to be found, they will hide their tracks."
She tilted her head, looking innocent, "Could it be that Second Senior Sister knows we're here to see her and thinks we're being nosy, so she's deliberately trying to keep us from finding her?"
She clasped her hands together in front of the air, pleading, "Second Senior Sister, please, please let us see you even once?"
People traveled long distances to find her, only to be told they were meddling and even asked to meet her in person.
Bai Xiaosheng's previously positive expression turned somber. This ruthlessness was just like the cold and indifferent face Ye Li had shown when he knelt down to beg her.
Bai Xiaosheng lowered his hand that was holding the spirit-finding plate. "We've been searching all morning. Second Master... Ye Li, she probably doesn't want to see us. There's no point in us continuing to search."
He changed his tune, which shows that he no longer acknowledges her as his senior sister.
With Bai Xiaosheng, the only neutral party, defecting, Ye Li felt utterly desolate.
They had been together for over a decade, so why couldn't he trust her a little more and try to find her again?
Why was Su Ying'er's life robbed of just a few words?
Is she really such a failure that they won't even give her the slightest bit of trust?
Sun Yun interjected indignantly, "That Ye Li has been making a mess of Lotus Sect lately. She faked an accident to disrupt Junior Sister Ying'er's apprenticeship ceremony, then fled to avoid punishment, and even injured Junior Sister. Senior Sister Hongye, you mustn't be fooled!"
Nie Hongye, with her nostrils flared, said, "How could someone as smart as me be fooled?"
Bai Xiaosheng corroborated, "It's true, Ye Li is indeed different."
Nie Hongye snorted, "It's not your place to tell me what Ye Li is like. I have eyes, I can see for myself! If you don't want to look, then get lost, I'll find her myself!"
The resounding words were like a clear spring flowing into Ye Li's wounded heart, waking her from her self-pity.
Yes, they've been with her day and night for over a decade or two, how could they not know what kind of person she is?
They are the ones who wronged her, why should she blame herself!
Bai Xiaosheng was stung by Nie Hongye's words, and his face inexplicably burned.
Just as he was about to say something, a disciple ran over excitedly.
"Senior Sister Hongye! We've found traces of Ye Li in the back mountain!"
The back mountain?
"Take me there quickly!"
Nie Hongye took the lead, and Bai Xiaosheng followed.
Su Ying'er lagged a few steps behind, looking at the increasingly thick fog in the camphor forest, and raised the corners of her lips.
Ye Li realized that she had deliberately set up a diversionary tactic to get rid of them!
"No, come back quickly! The misty camphor forest is about to open!"
...
On the other side, Bai Xiaosheng was halfway there when he suddenly noticed that the compass needle in his hand had stopped spinning and was pointing right in the direction behind him.
Is it... Second Senior Sister?
Bai Xiaosheng called out to Nie Hongye, "Senior Sister Hongye, the compass has found its direction. You take Junior Sister to the back mountain, I'll go back and take a look!"
"Fourth Senior Brother!"
Su Ying'er wanted to chase after them, but Nie Hongye pulled her back, saying, "What are you doing, you mortal? Just wait here!"
-
Returning to the misty camphor forest, Ye Li couldn't hide her excitement; finally, someone was going to discover that she was dead!
She couldn't wait to follow Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng's steps were wary; he had clearly noticed that the misty camphor forest was different now.
He drew his sword and cautiously walked towards the direction of the compass needle.
Just as he was fully focused, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him and thrust a sword at him.
"who!"
Startled, Sun Yun raised his hands. "No, no, no, it's me, Senior Brother Bai. Senior Sister Hongye sent me to help you."
"So it's Brother Sun. I almost hurt you by mistake. I'm so sorry."
While the two were talking, Ye Li looked Sun Yun up and down and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
By the way, she redeemed Bai Xiaosheng's sword from this person a few months ago.
If he could tell the truth, then Su Ying'er's lies would fall apart.
Ye Li felt a surge of anticipation.
On the way, Sun Yun tried to curry favor by taking out a few items from his storage bag. “Senior Brother Bai, these are things I recently won back. I heard they were yours, so today I’m returning them to their rightful owner.”
Bai Xiaosheng took a look and saw that it was exactly what he had plundered from Ye Li.
He happily accepted it, saying, "Doesn't this make me owe Brother Sun a favor?"
Sun Yun pressed his advantage, saying, "How could I possibly accept Senior Brother Bai's favor? I acted impulsively and won your late mother's belongings. I haven't been able to face you for the past few months."
Bai Xiaosheng waved his hand magnanimously, "It's nothing. Besides, my junior sister redeemed this sword very quickly. It's all in the past. Brother Sun, you don't need to take it to heart."
"Yes, yes, yes." Sun Yun said halfway through, then suddenly realized something was wrong. He muttered, "Junior Sister? Wasn't it Ye Li who came to redeem her sword?"
