"Of course it's worth it." Zhao Jinfan acted as if he would not say anything until she let go and spared his life.
"Okay, if you can tell me who killed her, I will spare your life." Li Yiru took back the magic sword, but the formation was still there and he could not escape.
"I just... suspected... at that time, after I hurt you..." Zhao Jinfan said slowly. Even though he was forced by Han Yuzhen to hurt her and swore not to tell anyone, he still wanted to see how she was.
When Li Yirou heard this, she sneered in her heart. She was just pretending to be sympathetic. She had already accepted Han Yuzhen's benefits, so why was she pretending to be regretful and innocent?
After being punished by the Law Enforcement Hall, he was not allowed to receive treatment and could only rely on himself to slowly recover. He also had to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes. When he came out after recovering, he didn't expect that Li Yiru had already become an inner sect disciple.
She had finished tempering her body long ago and had originally gone to the back mountain. Later, probably due to Han Yuzhen's restrictions, Li Yiruo rarely left the foundation-building cave.
Later one day, Zhao Jinfan heard that she had been to Wang Xiuling's place, so he thought of trying to stay there.
Unexpectedly, Chef Wang, who rarely left his house and whose food was delivered directly by the Deacon Hall, actually left the dining hall. He thought he was going to see Li Yirou, so he secretly followed him.
But Wang Xiuling went to the master's cave, so he returned to the dining hall to wait.
Wang Xiuling did not come back. He was practicing and recovering in the formation, but the person he met at night was the head of the sect, Lu Guanqing.
He was also puzzled. Why did the headmaster come here alone in the middle of the night when Chef Wang was not there?
But the next day, Wang Xiuling was found dead in the dining hall by her disciples...
After listening to his story, Li Yirou believed it 80%. She recalled that Aunt Xiuling had said she could hold on for a few months, but she died suddenly.
But unexpectedly, it was Lu Guanqing who killed her. What kind of grudge could there be between them? Aunt Xiuling barely even had any cultivation, so how could she have offended the headmaster?
"I dare not tell this secret to anyone, Senior Sister, please spare my life..." Zhao Jinfan deliberately coughed many times and covered his wound to show that he was seriously injured and in more pain than she was at that time. He hoped that she would let him go.
Li Yirou stared at him through the cloth without saying a word. He quickly added, "I swear, I won't tell anyone a word about what happened to you today or your cultivation level, or I'll die suddenly!"
"Also, you must not tell anyone else about the matter between the Sect Master and Wang Xiuling." Li Yiru frowned as she watched the black energy coming out of his body which had not yet disappeared. She had no intention of taking action, so why did he still look like he was about to die?
After the battle with Han Yuzhen, perhaps her soul was aroused, and her third eye would open from time to time to observe a person's fortune.
"How dare I!" Zhao Jinfan said this, and to reassure Li Yirou, he swore, "Senior Sister, please spare my life!"
As expected of a scoundrel, he was so shameless that Li Yirou actually admired him. If it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to kneel down and beg for mercy in such a undignified manner.
She put away her magic sword and set out on the road back to her sect.
Zhao Jinfan finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her from behind. He had never imagined that there would be a day like this where he would be pinned down and beaten by her, unable to fight back.
Hearing that Wang Xiuling was killed by Lu Guanqing, Li Yiru felt depressed and sad, but would she challenge another foundation-building cultivator for the sake of this little friendship?
Thinking of this, Li Yiru actually already had the answer in her heart: she wouldn't.
Wang Xiuling and she had been together for a period of time, and they had accompanied each other. She was a ray of light when she first came to Yijian Sect.
If...if they could get along for a few more years, she might really treat each other as family.
However, the time was short, and everything was just a disguise for her to find someone to rely on. Although there was some true love, it was not much in her heart.
She still had a balance in her heart, and friendship also required a similar exchange of equal value. Aunt Xiuling did her a favor, but was this favor heavy enough to compare with the favor of saving her life?
She didn't care about money or anything like that, as it was used to repay favors and favours. If she lost these external things, she could earn them back. But she couldn't risk her life on them.
Li Yiru only felt that she was hypocritical. While deceiving others, she almost deceived herself.
Aunt Xiuling really cares about her, but there is still a lot between her and her in her heart. Only by peeling off layer by layer of disguise can she see the true feelings.
But what could she do... If she were a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation building at this moment, she would definitely go and get the truth for her and avenge her.
If it wasn't for her own business, she wouldn't be so impulsive as to fight a battle she wasn't sure of winning.
Wait, if she reaches the late stage of foundation building, then go and avenge Wang Xiuling.
But Lu Guanqing seems to have a Jindan elder? It would be safer to cultivate to the Jindan level.
In her heart, if she had to rank them, she would be first, followed by Taxue, Duobao, and even several teammates, who were her life-and-death friends, and were more important than Wang Xiuling.
Aunt Xiuling, if you knew I was actually this kind of person, you would regret it and blame me. I'm sorry...
But she had been separated from him for many years, and time could dilute many feelings. Li Yirou put aside her guilt and joined the sect. The restrictions on her token had long since dissipated.
Taking advantage of Han Yuzhen's recent death and the fact that his status as an inner disciple had not yet been revoked, Li Yiru went to the library first. There was no lower part of the Five Elements Tai Chi Sword, not even the middle part, only the simple upper volume.
She suddenly remembered the Thousand Sword Sect that Li Yi had mentioned. It contained a lot of sword techniques, and Li Yitian was in that sect. She also gave him a communication talisman. Could it be that she could make use of it?
What’s even more coincidental is that the Thousand Sword Sect is in Qingyun City, and the Sun, Moon and Star Secret Realm is also nearby.
It's time for her to leave.
Li Yiru took out the communication talisman and sent a message to her senior sister, saying that she was waiting for her in the dining hall.
This place has probably been abandoned for a long time. Since Aunt Xiuling died, the dining hall has been completely out of use.
She looked at the burned-down hut, now replaced by growing vegetation. In the space, the note Aunt Xiuling had given her was still safely stored...
"Junior sister!" Lin Chunfang arrived after a long while. "Have you been waiting for a long time? The Sect Leader asked Senior Brother Qi Yu and me to ask some questions."
She looked at this place and remembered that it was here that her junior sister burned Chef Wang's body.
She thought her junior sister would break down and cry, but she was holding back her anger and was so sad that she vomited blood.
Hearing that it was the Sect Leader, Li Yirou's heart sank slightly, "Sect Leader?" She felt powerless.
She only remembered how the other party rushed over quickly when Han Yuzhen was killing people indiscriminately in the Baiguo Secret Realm.
Lin Chunfang thought that she had never seen the master before and was a little curious.
But it was just right, she had a lot of things to say but didn't know who to talk to, and now that Li Yiru was back, her desire to chat became stronger.
"Yes, the Sect Leader said that Master has a Soul-Suppressing Pearl that he borrowed from the sect, and the Sect Leader wants to get it back.
Asked me if my master had left me any clues before he left."
