Chapter 105 Su Ying'er is unaware that Jiang Li is not dead and takes credit for her.
"Senior Sister?"
Su Ying'er looked bewildered. "Fifth Senior Brother, have you hurt your brain? Senior Sister has been dead for a long time, hasn't she? Where are you going to find her?"
Mo Hannian said while putting on his shoes, "Jiang Li is Ye Li! She possessed her!"
"What?"
Su Ying'er looked bewildered, the suspicious details from before still vivid in her mind.
Why did Jiang Li understand Ye Li so well? Why did Wen Yao take such good care of her? Suddenly, all the questions seemed to have been answered.
But wasn't Ye Li's soul scattered by the Lord's Soul Devouring Furnace?
Even if she hadn't died then, the Soul-Devouring Furnace would activate once every seven days, so there was no way she could escape it. How could she possibly have survived?
Su Ying'er didn't believe that anyone could escape from the Lord's clutches; it must be that Mo Hannian had made a mistake.
Seeing Mo Hannian about to rush out, Su Ying'er hurriedly stopped him, "Fifth Senior Brother, don't be impulsive. That day, we searched the entire Moon White Lake with Senior Sister Nie Hongye, but we didn't find Sister Jiang Li at all. Besides, now that Kuangshagang has completely disappeared, where are you going to look for her?"
"Disappeared?"
Seeing that Mo Hannian remembered nothing, Su Ying'er told him about the collapse of Kuangshagang that day.
Finally, she blinked her eyes and said, "When Ying'er saw her fifth senior brother trapped underneath, she only had one thought in her mind: I must save him, even if it costs me my life."
Hearing Su Ying'er's words, Mo Hannian was moved. She was just a mortal, yet she was willing to give her life for him.
But……
Ye Li would do even more for him. What's more, she even helped him get rid of the Gu poison. Just thinking about this made his heart feel like it was being eroded by the Gu worms again, and he felt like a hundred claws were scratching at his heart.
Seeing that Mo Hannian's attention was completely off her, Su Ying'er took his arm and said, "Thank God, your poison has been cured. I'm willing to do anything to get you the antidote."
Upon hearing Su Ying'er's words, Mo Hannian froze. He turned around, his face filled with disbelief. "What did you say? You got the antidote?"
Su Ying'er had intended to test him, and when she heard that Mo Hannian had no idea how he had cured his Gu poison, she readily agreed.
"Yes, Fifth Senior Brother, if it weren't for helping you find the antidote, Ying'er wouldn't have..."
She raised her arm, looking aggrieved.
In reality, the wound was caused by an earthquake at Moonlit Lake, but at this moment she romanticized it as a sacrifice for Mo Hannian.
Mo Hannian stared at the shocking scars on her fair arms, speechless for a moment.
It turns out it was Ying'er.
He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Su Ying'er.
He has already failed his senior sister's love, so he must never repeat the same mistake.
He wanted to treat Su Ying'er well and make up for this regret.
Thinking of this, he lowered his voice a few decibels, "Ying'er, thank you for saving me and curing my Gu poison. From now on, I will treat you like my own sister."
Su Ying'er was overjoyed and called out sweetly, "Brother."
"Little sister."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Su Ying'er was extremely pleased with herself. She wasn't worried at all that her lie would be exposed, since Jiang Li was already dead and there was no way to verify it.
If anyone's to blame, it's her for insisting on taking it from her; she deserved to die a gruesome death!
The two siblings were very close, and no one noticed the extra shadow at the doorway.
Master Qingyu stood at the door, his usually aloof eyes now tinged with a deep, mysterious light.
-
Jiangjiawan is located in the scorching Yang Empire, where it remains evergreen all year round.
Knowing that Xie Sixing was in imminent danger, Ye Li did not return to Tianmen Sect, but went directly to Jiangjiawan.
This trip lasted three days.
Jiangjiawan is surrounded by mountains on all sides. As soon as Ye Li approached, she felt a refreshing spiritual energy.
Although there are many Taoist cultivators in this world, there is a difference between humans and immortals, and very few Taoist cultivators reside in the dwellings of mortals.
As for why the spiritual energy in Jiangjiawan is so abundant, it is probably because of the Soul Returning Mirror artifact.
Ye Li intended to go in and inquire, but as soon as she stepped into Jiangjiawan, someone struck up a conversation with her.
"Hey, isn't this Jiang Li?"
As soon as she finished speaking, seven or eight people surrounded her. "Hey! It's Jiang Li! I heard that you and your sister were selected to become immortals in the Heavenly Gate Sect. Did you come back for some mission?"
ginger……
Ginger pear.
It seems this is Jiang Li's hometown.
Ye Li, playing along, nodded. "Yes, I'm here on orders from the Heavenly Gate Sect to find a magical artifact. Do you know what the Soul Return Mirror is?"
Someone laughed and said, "Oh dear, how would we know? If there's any treasure, it's your family that has it. We ordinary folks have never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen one."
While at the outer gate, Ye Li learned some things about the Jiang family from Jiang Mengyao.
Everyone in Jiangjiawan has the surname Jiang. As for Jiang Mengyao's father, he was not only the richest merchant in Jiangjiawan, but also an imperial merchant, known as the Noble Merchant Jiang. The people called him Lord Jiang.
In this place teeming with mortals, the fact that Jiang Gong's family was able to awaken two spiritual roots at once suggests that the Soul Return Mirror might really be in her home.
With that in mind, Ye Li decided to go back and check on things first.
The Jiang family's residence is easy to find; it's the largest house.
As soon as Ye Li stood in front of the door, the servant at the door exclaimed in surprise, "Second Miss, you're back?"
Ye Li nodded. "I need to see Father Jiang. Please inform him for me."
The two servants looked at each other, neither of them making a move.
The one on the left was clearly more astute. "Second Miss has just returned. You should go see your mother. She's been eagerly awaiting your return."
Little girl...
Ye Li remembered that Jiang Mengyao had mentioned that Jiang Li was born to a concubine.
Since she used Jiang Li's body, she should fulfill her filial duties on her behalf.
So she nodded, "Then take me there."
The servant looked surprised when he heard Ye Li's words. Didn't the second young lady know the way since she grew up here?
Normally, these servants would never have bothered with this matter, but since Jiang Li is now a disciple of the Tianmen Sect, they couldn't be too negligent, so they reluctantly said, "Second Miss, this way please."
The Jiang family truly lived up to their reputation as wealthy merchants; along the way, even the plaques and pillars were gilded, displaying extreme luxury.
When they arrived at Jiang Li and her daughter's residence, the scene changed drastically. Weeds grew all around, the house was dilapidated, and there was even a smell of dust and decay.
Ye Li frowned, "Jiang Li... how come my mother lives in a place like this?"
When the servant heard Ye Li's question, he thought she was putting on airs. He rolled his eyes and said, "Our household is managed by the Madam. If you have any questions, you can't talk to a servant like me. You might as well ask the Madam directly. I'll take my leave."
After walking a distance, the servant muttered again, "He's already complaining about this and that as soon as he entered the Heavenly Gate Sect. Our young lady is going to enter the inner sect in the future, but she hasn't come back to show off her power. Instead, a concubine is acting all high and mighty."
Ye Li was a cultivator, and although he had traveled a long way before speaking, she still heard him.
Judging from the servants' attitude, Jiang Li and her mother are not having an easy time here.
Ye Li walked into the house and saw a young girl who looked like a maid running around inside.
Upon seeing Ye Li return, she was first overjoyed, then felt as if she had grasped a lifeline.
"Second Miss, it's so good to have you back! Please save our mother!"
