Chapter 18 It was Ye Li who helped him redeem his sword!
Bai Xiaosheng didn't even bother to ask any more questions, and shook his head, "It's nothing, I must have misheard. Let's go upstairs first."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Ye Li felt relieved.
She wanted to see the light of day again, but she didn't want to take two more innocent lives.
Looking down at her transparent body, she curled her lips into a smile. One of these wandering ghosts was enough.
Upon hearing that he could walk, Sun Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead and relaxed.
On the way back, he casually remarked, "You scared me to death. I was really afraid you would risk your life for Ye Li because of a sword."
This time, Bai Xiaosheng clearly heard Ye Li's name and stopped in his tracks. "Ye Li?"
Sun Yun, unaware of the details, nodded. "That's right, wasn't it Ye Li who helped you redeem your sword?"
"How could it be my second senior sister? It was clearly my junior sister who gave me the sword."
"ah?"
Sun Yun was stunned by the question, "It's Ye Li, right? Could it be... that after Senior Sister Ye Li redeemed her, she had Junior Sister Ying'er give it to you?"
No, that's impossible.
Even if Ye Li asked Su Ying'er to pass it on, she wouldn't leave without saying a word.
The smile on Bai Xiaosheng's face gradually disappeared, and an unbelievable guess slowly grew in his mind.
He suddenly grabbed Sun Yun by the collar, his expression unusually serious. "Explain yourself clearly. Who came to find you? What happened that day?"
He practically shouted the last few words, as if that would mask the panic in his heart.
Sun Yun was having difficulty breathing and spoke haltingly, “Not long after you lost your sword to me that day, Senior Sister Ye Li came. I thought she was here for revenge and was terrified, but she said… she came to redeem your sword.”
The truth came to light unexpectedly.
Ye Li stared coldly at Bai Xiaosheng, wanting to see if he would make excuses for Su Ying'er this time.
Bai Xiaosheng's reaction surprised her. He seemed to have suffered a blow, releasing Sun Yun with a dazed look in his eyes, muttering, "It really is Second Senior Sister, how could it be Second Senior Sister..."
Three months ago.
Bai Xiaosheng lost his sword and asked Ye Li to lend him some spirit stones to redeem it.
He even knelt down to beg for his mother's belongings.
Seeing his disheveled state, Ye Li remained unmoved and coldly said, "Since you gambled with your sword, you must bear the consequences of losing it. Not only will I not help you, but I will also tell everyone in the Lotus Sect that no one is allowed to give you a single spirit stone!"
"If you dare to steal or borrow, I will report it to Master and have him punish you severely!"
Bai Xiaosheng got up from the ground without saying a word and left, but he was filled with hatred.
Why is it that Ye Li can buy Yuan Ce elixirs to improve his cultivation and buy Mo Hannian a bottle of Immortal Dew Drink for a high-grade spirit stone, but refuses to give him a single spirit stone to redeem his deceased mother's belongings?
It's not just this matter.
Over the years, Ye Li has focused most of her attention on Yuan Ce and Mo Hannian.
She wasn't bad to him, but it wasn't nearly enough.
He had wondered if as long as he cultivated diligently, he could gain his senior sister's favor and receive those elixirs and care.
But he was wrong. No matter how hard he tried to break through, he could only earn a few words of praise from his senior sister.
It was from that time that he stopped working hard and began to refuse to cultivate, just like Yuan Ce.
At first, Ye Li would come to question and supervise him, but after a while, she stopped coming. She said calmly, "Cultivation is your own business. If you insist on falling into depravity, I can't help you."
how so?
She wasn't like that with Yuan Ce at all.
He was also her junior brother, so why couldn't she take care of him a little more?
Bai Xiaosheng was unwilling to accept this, so he began to go even further astray, engaging in cockfighting and gambling.
Only when he gambles will Ye Li's attention be fully on him, and only then will he feel his senior sister's care.
At this moment, his self-deception came to an end.
She didn't care about him at all; he wasn't in her heart.
She cared for him less than her junior sister, who had only been there for a year.
It was around that time that Bai Xiaosheng became completely disappointed in Ye Li.
When he followed everyone else in favoring his junior sister, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
Now you've finally experienced this feeling too.
But……
He had already successfully taken his revenge, but Sun Yun told him that he had misunderstood everything.
-
Bai Xiaosheng's voice was hoarse, "How many spirit stones did Senior Sister use to redeem her?"
"Fifty high-grade spirit stones."
Bai Xiaosheng was stunned. "So many?"
The master refused to be tainted by worldly things, and the entire sect only had ten high-grade spirit stones per month.
Fifty coins would take the entire sect five months to earn, even if they didn't eat or drink.
"Where did you get so much money, senior sister?"
Sun Yun whispered, "It seems, it seems like they sold a piano."
Qin (a type of zither)...
Bai Xiaosheng suddenly remembered that Ye Li had a guqin, which was a gift from her master when she first started learning the craft. Once, when her master asked her to play it, she hesitated and said that she had lost the guqin.
Because of this incident, Ye Li was punished by her master.
He was quite gloating at the time, thinking that this was retribution for Ye Li not helping him.
He even went to watch Ye Li being whipped.
Ordinary whips only cause physical pain, but the whips of the Discipline Hall strike the very soul.
The mark left behind takes a year to fade, and during that time, every time one uses spiritual power, one feels a dull ache.
Even though her senior sister endured such torment, she still didn't tell the truth.
All of this was for...him.
Bai Xiaosheng felt dizzy and his heart ached as he recalled the past.
It's not that his senior sister doesn't care about him; it's that he misunderstood her...
"Senior sister, I'm so sorry, senior sister..."
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng's heartbroken expression, Ye Li felt no joy whatsoever.
Even if Bai Xiaosheng knew the truth, would all the past hurts simply disappear?
Besides, what good are apologies to a dead person?
Bai Xiaosheng was deeply affected and fell into a state of inner demons. His forehead turned dark, and he showed signs of going mad.
"Senior Brother Bai?"
Sun Yun noticed Bai Xiaosheng's unusual behavior and waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Senior Brother Bai, Junior Sister is still waiting for us upstairs, let's go up quickly."
Upon hearing Su Ying'er's name, Bai Xiaosheng finally regained his senses.
Oh, right!
The culprit who caused him to misunderstand his senior sister was none other than Su Ying'er. Moreover, she had been preventing them from finding their second senior sister.
Their intentions are despicable!
He gritted his teeth, "I must find my second senior sister and apologize to her in person!"
Bai Xiaosheng took out the compass again, focused his mind, and heard Ye Li's clear voice as she taught him the techniques.
A pure heart is like water; pure water is the heart.
A gentle breeze stirred, yet the waters remained calm.
When one enters a state of deep meditation, the poisonous dragon vanishes!
He closed his eyes and used only his ears to sense the compass's direction as the surrounding darkness gradually dissipated.
Sun Yun pointed down in surprise, "Senior Brother Bai, there's a fire over there!"
Bai Xiaosheng opened his eyes and saw the entrance that Sun Yun had mentioned. At the same time, he also felt a familiar aura.
"Second Senior Sister must be inside!"
"Let's go in quickly!"
Ye Li warned sternly, "No, don't go in, it's dangerous inside."
Sun Yun and Bai Xiaosheng were completely unaware of what was happening and hurried toward the light.
