Chapter 94 Su Ying'er leads Ye Li to see what's hidden under the lake
What Su Ying'er held in her hand was none other than the Shadow Token!
How dare she take it out so openly? What is she trying to do?
Seeing Ye Li's strong reaction, Su Ying'er was somewhat surprised and tentatively asked, "Sister Jiang Li, have you seen this before?"
Ye Li composed herself and said, "No."
Fearing that Su Ying'er might see through her act, she countered, "This item doesn't look like something a Daoist cultivator would own. Could it be that you're colluding with demons?"
"Oh dear, Sister Jiang Li, you've misunderstood. How could I possibly have any dealings with evil spirits? This is..."
She lowered her voice, "It was dropped by Sect Leader Chu."
Is Chu in danger?
Aren't she and Chu Wei in cahoots? Why would she suddenly expose Chu Wei at this time?
Ye Li remained calm and said, "Since it belongs to Sect Master Chu, you should return it to him. Why are you giving it to me?"
Su Ying'er bit her lip, looking frightened. "Last night, when I went to pick flowers, I happened to meet Sect Leader Chu and saw him use a secret method to descend into Moon White Lake. I secretly followed him and saw him talking to someone under Moon White Lake. It seemed that his words were related to Fifth Senior Brother's Gu poison."
Ye Li saw it clearly last night: Su Ying'er went down first, and then Chu Wei went down alone. Her deliberate statement at this moment is quite intriguing.
"I also heard them say that the antidote to the Gu poison is under Moon White Lake. Master said that whoever can find the antidote can be accepted into the Lotus Sect."
At this point, Su Ying'er took Ye Li's hand, her face full of innocent charm, "Sister Jiang Li, I misspoke and offended you just now. I plan to give you this opportunity. As long as you take this token down, you can retrieve the antidote, and then Master will definitely accept you as his personal disciple."
In Su Ying'er's opinion, no outer disciple could resist the temptation of becoming a personal disciple of the Lotus Sect.
Entering the inner sect might be achievable through hard work, but becoming a personal disciple requires the approval of the sect leaders.
The Lotus Sect holds a position above the other five sects, making it the dream of all disciples. However, Master Qingyu hasn't accepted any personal disciples for many years, so it's just a dream for him.
With such a good opportunity, Su Ying'er felt that "Jiang Li" would definitely take the bait.
Ye Li looked at the token that had been shoved into her hand, unmoved. "Since Sect Leader Chu went, he should have already retrieved the antidote. Wouldn't it be redundant for me to go again? Here you go."
Seeing Ye Li about to leave, Su Ying'er panicked and blurted out, "He's not coming back..."
"What did you say?"
Ye Li's gaze instantly turned cold.
What does it mean that Chu Wei won't be coming back? Does it mean he won't return to the Heavenly Gate Sect, or...?
Su Ying'er snapped out of her daze and pretended to be clueless, saying, "Huh? I didn't say anything."
She walked towards Ye Li with an innocent expression, "Sister Jiang Li, believe me, as long as you go to Moon White Lake to retrieve the antidote for the Gu poison, you can become a personal disciple."
Ye Li sensed a hint of malice in this earnest persuasion.
It seems that Su Ying'er knows what lies beneath Moon White Lake.
And she did indeed need to go down and take a look.
Ye Li looked Su Ying'er up and down, then suddenly agreed, "Okay."
Su Ying'er's eyes lit up, and she was about to smile when she heard Ye Li say something.
"Since you're so considerate of Mo Hannian, let's go together."
"us?"
Su Ying'er's smile froze for a moment, and she bit her lip, saying, "But Ying'er is just a mortal. Going with us would only be a hindrance. It's better for you to go by yourself, Sister Jiang Li..."
"It's alright."
Ye Li interrupted her, "Although you have no cultivation, you can lead the way for me. Otherwise, if I can't find the place, wouldn't all your good intentions be wasted?"
Su Ying'er's heart skipped a beat at that meaningful tone, as if Ye Li had already seen through her scheme.
However, she immediately denied her guess.
Jiang Li is just an outer disciple; what could she possibly know?
Besides, she was very careful when she went to Moonlight Lake last night. She even looked around before going down, so it's impossible that anyone was following her.
Thinking of this, Su Ying'er felt relieved.
But should she go down with Ye Li?
Seeing Su Ying'er's eyes lingering on her, Ye Li said calmly, "If you don't want to, then forget it. Let's go back to Tianmen Sect first and then make some plans."
"Why!"
Seeing that Ye Li had already walked towards their group, Su Ying'er gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's go together!"
-
When Wen Yao learned that Ye Li was going to turn back, he anxiously tried to stop her, saying, "We don't know what's in Kuangshagang right now, it's too dangerous for you to go."
"It's alright, Senior Brother," Su Ying'er comforted her. "Moonlight Lake isn't far from here; we'll be right back."
Wen Yao: "Then I'll go with you."
Ye Li refused, "Their injuries can't be delayed. You take them out first."
She's right. These disciples are either injured or collapsed, and they won't last much longer.
Seeing that Ye Li was determined, Wen Yao had no choice but to agree.
Before Ye Li left, he couldn't help but take two steps forward, "Be careful, I'll wait for you at the exit."
Looking at Wen Yao's reluctant expression, Su Ying'er's delicate pink nails dug into her palms.
It hasn't been long, yet Wen Yao is already showing such concern for Jiang Li.
If this continues, where will she find refuge in the Heavenly Gate Sect?
We must make her disappear today!
-
A sandstorm is raging again at Kuangshagang, with yellow dust filling the air and making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Su Ying'er led the way, having to cover her face with her sleeves as she walked with difficulty, her delicate body swaying from side to side in the wind.
She looked at Ye Li behind her. Her figure was perfectly still in the wind, and her resolute expression was all too familiar to her.
Especially now that she can't open her eyes, she can't see Jiang Li's face clearly.
In a daze, she seemed to see Ye Li.
My heart skipped a beat.
Su Ying'er wanted to test him, so she smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Jiang Li, your third senior brother was so concerned about you just now. You two must have a very good relationship, right? You've only known each other for such a short time, and your third senior brother likes you so much. You're really amazing. Can you tell me why? You can also teach me."
Ye Li glanced at her and said, "You've only been at the Lotus Sect for a year, yet you've already managed to make them obey you so readily. I think you've learned quite well."
Su Ying'er said innocently, "I'm not very smart, it's just that my senior brothers dote on me."
"..."
In this unspoken atmosphere, the two walked towards Moon White Lake.
Moonlit Lake isn't far from here; we'll arrive soon.
Unlike the surrounding sandstorms, the surface of Moonlit Lake was incredibly calm, without even a tiny ripple.
It was beautiful, yet it exuded a lifeless atmosphere.
It's as if time has been frozen here.
“Sister Jiang Li, I have already taught you how to get in. I don’t have any spiritual power, so I won’t go down with you. I’ll wait for you on the shore.”
Ye Li glanced at Su Ying'er, "Didn't you say there was no danger down there? Let's go down together then."
"I……"
Before Su Ying'er could speak, Ye Li grabbed her shoulder and pulled her toward the stone tablet.
Su Ying'er panicked immediately, "Sister Jiang Li, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Ye Li sneered, "You think I can't see through your scheme? Since you had the guts to trick me into coming here, then come down with me."
