Li Yiru was too far away to stop her in time, and could only watch her sacrifice herself to save her.
After Ji Shiyan dispelled the evil spirit, he turned around and finally looked at her straight in the eye.
The female cultivator coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood, but her eyes were only on him, expecting his concern.
Ji Shiyan had a complicated expression, and the female cultivator's heart moved slightly. Senior brother was really handsome, and maybe she could really melt him with this move.
Thinking of this, a blush gradually appeared on her face.
But he opened his thin lips and spoke slowly, but his tone was full of coldness, "You deserve it."
Turning to another junior fellow apprentice, he said, "Take your senior sister to heal her wounds, and face the wall at the Cliff of Repentance for a month."
The female cultivator covered her shoulder, not caring about the pain, only feeling surprised, "Why! I saved my brother, why are you punishing me!"
Tears welled up in her eyes. Her face turned pale from the injury, her lips trembling slightly. Amidst her anger, there was a hint of panic. Could it be that my senior brother had seen through this?! Impossible!
She thought her plan was perfect. Her senior brother had his back to her and his spiritual consciousness was focused on the evil spirit, so how could he notice her little movements?
"You abuse your scheming regardless of the situation." Ji Shiyan's eyes were full of disappointment and disgust, "As an inner disciple of the Thousand Sword Sect, you threw the sect rules to the wind and only cared about your own selfish interests in a critical moment.
"You think I'll be grateful if you intentionally get hurt to block my attack? Have you ever thought about who will be held responsible if the evil spirit attacks again?"
Every word he said made sense, and Li Yirou felt ashamed when she heard it.
She was clearly capable of dealing with the evil spirit, but because she wanted to see how Ji Shiyan would handle the pursuit of the other female cultivators when she was not around, she hid in a corner and did not take any action. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Seeing that he knew everything, the female cultivator wanted to crawl into the ground, but without any evidence, she refused to admit it. "I just didn't think that much! Brother, you misunderstood!"
Ji Shiyan had a blank expression on his face. "Really? Anyway, I will never have the slightest interest in you." He then turned to the boy beside him and said coldly, "Take her back and punish her for two months."
The female cultivator blushed and turned pale, and after a few retorts, the punishment was increased. She even said in front of her junior brother that she was not interested in her!
Anger surfaced in her eyes, and she was so angry that tears streamed down her face. How could she fall for such a bastard who didn't know how to pity a woman!
She had already wanted to cover up the matter and pretend that nothing had happened, but he was still chasing the shark.
Ji Shiyan handled the matter ruthlessly, which surprised and unfamiliar Li Yiru.
In front of her, he was always gentle, but she thought he was the type of person who was simple and didn't understand other people's bad intentions, and who appeared cold on the surface but actually wouldn't reject others.
After dealing with the evil spirit, the crowd had long since dispersed, but Li Yirou's gaze remained unwavering, and even through the veil of the hood, it could still be felt.
The three people from Qiandao Sword Sect all looked in her direction. Ji Shiyan's eyes were sharp and displeased, but why did that figure in the distance look so familiar?
He thought he was hallucinating, and unconsciously walked towards her step by step. He used his spiritual sense to test her, and Li Yirou responded with a light touch.
Ji Shiyan lifted the white veil in front of her with his long fingers, and finally saw the person he had been thinking about day and night. Like spring breeze melting snow, his brows softened.
"Why did you come without telling me?" He was very surprised that he did not receive her communication talisman.
"I just settled down and came out. I didn't expect to meet you." She originally wanted to ask him to go to the Immortal Alliance together, but seeing that he was busy, she didn't plan to say anything more.
"Are there a lot of evil spirits?" She also worried. "Are you okay?"
Ji Shiyan said softly that there were none, but his expression was still worried. "There have been many incidents of people being injured. They possess others and then kill them. They devour the ordinary souls of those who died unjustly, which makes them stronger."
"Then do you still want to look for it? I can go with you." She was held by his big hand, and the two walked side by side.
"Not for now. Every time we cause a commotion, it will calm down in a day or two." He asked Li Yirou, "Are you tired? Should I take you to Hongyun Tower for spiritual food? Or do you want to rest?"
She didn't feel like eating either, and she hadn't checked out of the inn she was staying in yet. "I want to spend a day with you, and I just booked a room."
"Did you really just get here?" Ji Shiyan walked into the house suspiciously, stepped on the snow and fell into his arms, sniffing here and there.
Li Yirou put away her veil and said, "Not really. I just watched the excitement for a while."
Ji Shiyan's hand that was touching Taxue's fur suddenly stopped. She was very far away from him at that time. With her cultivation level that had just reached the foundation, she shouldn't have heard it.
But that was obviously not the case. Ji Shiyan placed the kitten on the couch, held her face with one hand and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
She was satisfied, but for some reason, she felt very sad... Li Yirou lowered her eyes and said nothing.
If they can't find a solution and can't be together, will they never be able to accompany each other as a couple?
Ji Shiyan might not like this girl, but would there be someone else he would be attracted to in the future? No matter who it was, it would definitely not be like her, as they had so many troubles. They could be together freely without having to worry about so many things...
Thinking of this, Li Yirou felt depressed. Why did she have so many circumstances? She didn't want to explain it to her master, dragging Ji Shiyan along, not being with him, but also monopolizing him.
She is so contradictory, weak and timid. When can she live a relaxed and free life?
Ji Shiyan patted her lightly to comfort her, thinking that she was upset because she saw someone setting him up, "Otherwise...if this happens again, I'll beat her up?"
...Li Yirou's depressed mood was suddenly dispelled by him. She looked up at him speechlessly, "Am I that fierce?"
"You're not fierce." Ji Shiyan smiled and touched her face. He thought to himself that although she wasn't fierce, if he had hesitated at all, she would definitely not give him any chance.
Fortunately, he is a man of great virtue. He knows very well that the most important thing for a man is purity.
"Are you experiencing a spiritual illusion?" Not only was it difficult for him to detect her spiritual awareness, but his detection range was even inferior to hers. He was clearly already at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, yet he still conjured up a scene of falling snow.
Li Yirou nodded casually, "It's like a lotus pond on a lake in summer."
A lotus pond?! Ji Shiyan was surprised. Shouldn't the spiritual platform scene be constantly expanding? Why did her spiritual platform, which had just been established, look like others in the middle or late stages of their foundation building?
"I really want to see..." He was very curious about how big the lotus pond was, but after he said that, he saw that Li Yiru felt sad again.
Ji Shiyan only realized at this time that she was feeling lost just now, probably because she couldn't be like others.
Lianci pinched her face and comforted her softly, "Don't let your imagination run wild. People only start looking for Taoist partners because their cultivation has stagnated."
"What if your cultivation stagnates?" Li Yiru was uneasy, and her mood was tinged with worry.
"Most people with only one spiritual root cannot make it past the middle stage of the Nascent Soul." He said with a smile, "And you can always keep me by your side when the time comes."
