"Li Yirou, right? Please take a seat." The disciple on duty received her, but then heard Li Yirou say, "Excuse me, Senior Sister, can I go see Wen Siqing first?"
Since she was free anyway, she wanted to go and see what she looked like now.
"Okay. She said she wanted to apologize to you, so we allowed her to see you." The Law Enforcement Hall seemed to be really strict. Li Yirou followed her and walked into the confinement room.
This is not a dungeon, but a small cave carved out of the cliff to imprison the disciples.
It was a bit like the cave in Wuji Palace, except that it was extremely simple and desolate, and the wind was very strong. The suffocating feeling of climbing Qingyun Mountain came over her again, and Li Yiru endured the discomfort.
Moreover, the formation was activated, and the spiritual energy was maintained at a small but not thin state. In this way, the disciples who were imprisoned for making mistakes could practice a little, but the speed of practice would be as slow as that of ten years.
But in Li Yiru's opinion, this place was like the secret realm where she was trapped before.
It takes ten years to sharpen a sword. The results of training inside must be very solid. The key is to train your mind. It can be more lonely and isolated inside than outside, and it is not easy to endure.
Once you get out and combine it with life and death training, you will definitely be able to soar to the sky.
If Wen Siqing could see through it, this would not be considered a punishment.
At this time, Li Yiru vaguely heard the sound of wind chimes, ding-dong-dong, but it seemed a little dry, not as crisp and pleasant as in summer. It calmed people's minds and dissipated a lot of their impetuous hearts.
It seemed to be the sound of a wind chime tree. She suddenly remembered the test question given to her by Ancestor Tiancun. Could it be that planting wind chime trees was to make criminals feel at ease and repent?
Are we going to all the trouble to plant trees just for these people who have made mistakes to help them reform? It should be more than that.
"This is the room. You can go in. Don't worry, there is a protective formation." The sister on duty sent her to the door, opened the cave door, and told her to come out and find her in the hall later.
Li Yiru stepped in, and the change in light made her vision suddenly dark. After two seconds, she saw that there was only a beam of light shining on a small table, and the rest of the place was pitch black.
When Wen Siqing saw someone coming in, he looked up and saw Li Yiru, who was covered with a cloth and dressed in black.
At this moment, she was the disciple who had made a mistake and was dressed in white clothes. She had never felt the rough fabric before, and the wind here made her feel cold.
"You're here." Wen Siqing looked much more haggard, as if he had transformed from a bright sunflower into a withered dried flower in just a few days.
Li Yiru didn't respond, but she felt in her heart that she had almost killed herself, but seeing her like this, she actually thought of letting it go. Was she too kind?
Excessive kindness, without a strong heart to support it, will become weakness. Li Yirou didn't know if she was just the latter, she didn't want to be the latter.
Wen Siqing smiled bitterly, "I want to know, do you like Yi Tian?"
She really cares about Li Yitian. Li Yiru originally wanted to say "I like you" to annoy her, but seeing her expression, she really couldn't say such a false statement. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
"I just think it's ridiculous. No one was fighting with me, but I just went crazy!" Wen Siqing was emotional. "I'm unworthy of being an inner sect disciple. Not only did I fail to protect my fellow disciples, but I even tried to murder them over a trivial matter. I feel so sorry for my father!"
Wen Siqing seemed to realize that she had no interest in Li Yitian? It seemed that she had said this since Ji Shiyan and she got off the spiritual boat together.
But when she talked about her relatives, Li Yiru was a little touched. Although she had never experienced it, she and the original owner had inevitably fantasized about it.
The original owner expected a strict father and a kind mother, while Li Yirou imagined a strict and capable but nagging mother, and a kind, humorous and capable father. However, her life ultimately lacked both.
Wen Siqing's father must have taught and raised her very seriously and protected her well, which may have caused her to always want to rely on others.
"So?" Although Li Yirou lacked this part of emotion, when she calmed down, she would think that her parents in the previous world were irresponsible and might make her life more difficult.
It’s okay to be alone.
She was standing, Wen Siqing was a little taller than her, Li Yirou looked up at her slightly, but her behavior made Wen Siqing feel that Li Yirou didn't care about anyone at all, she just did her own thing, even though her spiritual roots were so poor, she only cared about herself.
She didn't care whether anyone loved her or not, but countless people took the initiative to notice her, and she effortlessly got what Wen Siqing had worked so hard for.
Why am I obsessed with being loved and cared for by others?
"I'm sorry, I just want to say that I shouldn't have done this. I almost killed you." Wen Siqing's face was pale and she had lost a lot of weight. Her small face seemed to have only a pair of empty eyes. No one knew what was trapping her in her heart.
"If you help me arrange an outer disciple, then we'll be even." She turned to leave, but she left a sentence, "I've never liked Li Yitian."
As expected, Wen Siqing finally got an answer, "I hope you will accept my apology."
The cave door was closed again, and her world fell into silence again.
Li Yirou thought that Wen Siqing was just saying sorry to her, but unexpectedly, he asked the Law Enforcement Hall to give her a magic weapon-level treasure.
"Wen Siqing hopes you can forgive her. This is the magic weapon Heart Protection Bell, which can withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator." Li Yiru took the small golden bell, which was indeed useful to her.
"Elder Song said she should be severely punished and imprisoned for eight years. If you are unwilling to forgive, we can increase her sentence by one to two years. If you forgive her, we can reduce her sentence by one year. If she actively compensates, we can reduce her sentence by another year. She will still need to be imprisoned for at least six years."
The senior sister continued her businesslike manner, "Are you willing to accept compensation and forgiveness? Or do you want her to punish you more severely?"
Li Yirou nodded, "I understand and accept it."
That treasure was useful to her.
"Okay, just write down your name and you can go back." The senior sister took out a piece of paper with Wen Siqing's crimes recorded, and Li Yiru signed her name.
Passing by the library, he borrowed a jade slip about spiritual plants and treasures, and a book about the Wind and Frost Sword Technique mentioned by Lu Xin. It was said that it was also created by an early cultivator of the Five Elements spiritual roots, and was also suitable for learning by those with mixed spiritual roots.
Afterwards, she returned to the cave to rest. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and stretched her body, which had become stiff from running around all day. It was still comfortable in the room, neither too cold nor too hot.
The high-level skills were running autonomously, concentrating her meridians, and her cultivation level had also improved slightly. But even so, she seemed to become tired just by sitting in the spirit boat.
There are more than 7 months left until the fifth day of May. I need to slow down my cultivation and cannot deliberately condense my meridians to improve my cultivation.
