At this moment, Gu Xingyuan suddenly had an idea and his eyes lit up.

He picked up the clay figurine on the ground and said to Shen Rong, "Third Junior Brother, let's go and persuade Xiao Qi to come back first, and then take this clay figurine to beg Master. Master may be moved when he thinks of the past!"

Shen Rong shook his head calmly.

"Second Senior Brother, have you forgotten?" Shen Rong smiled bitterly, "Fan Li is no longer the Fan Li of the past. She has cultivated the Way of Mercilessness."

Just the first step of persuading Fan Li to come back is already as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Gu Xingyuan said stubbornly: "So what? How do you know if you don't try?!"

Shen Rong looked at him quietly, "Second Brother, things have come to this point, let's just forget it."

Gu Xingyuan said angrily: "How can we let it go! I don't agree! Xiao Qi must come back and be with us!"

"I know you never like her. Fine, if you don't go, I'll go by myself!"

Shen Rong hesitated to speak.

Gu Xingyuan walked outside angrily.

Unexpectedly, Shen Rong suddenly yelled and called him.

"Second Brother, don't you understand yet?!"

Gu Xingyuan stopped but did not look back. His fists were clenched, and his back revealed stubbornness and desolation.

Only Shen Rong's voice came from behind, and his words seemed to be trying hard to restrain something, and there was a hint of instability.

"Fan Li did this on purpose! This was all her plan from the beginning to the end!"

Gu Xingyuan turned around in shock and asked in astonishment: "Plot? What do you mean?"

Shen Rong's eyes were rarely red, and seeing his eyes, Gu Xingyuan was slightly startled.

Shen Rong turned his head to the side, his jaw was taut, and the moment he closed his eyes, his expression returned to his usual cold and harsh expression.

"Fan Li wanted to leave Xuanji Peak, so she deliberately pushed Junior Sister into the water and reported it to Master... We all fell into her trap."

Gu Xingyuan murmured in disbelief: "How is it possible..."

Shen Rong walked forward and looked him straight in the eyes, "Didn't you notice that Fan Li was very abnormal yesterday?"

Gu Xingyuan followed his words and thought about it carefully.

Yes, Fan Li is very abnormal.

She took the initiative to admit last night that she pushed her junior sister into the water, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to report it to the master.

But now he ran away without taking anything, so impatient and without any reluctance to leave.

Did she really want to get rid of them?

Gu Xingyuan felt a pain in his heart.

"Second Brother, don't try to persuade her. It's useless. This is what she wants. She won't come back."

Shen Rong didn't want to say it too directly, but he really couldn't stand Gu Xingyuan's self-deceiving look.

Even though the real answer was right in front of him, Gu Xingyuan still couldn't believe that Fan Li did it on purpose.

"I don't believe it. I just want to hear her admit it herself!"

Gu Xingyuan held the clay figure and rushed down the mountain like a gust of wind.

Shen Rong stood motionless in front of Fan Li's cave for a long time, looking decadent and confused.

On the other side, Gu Xingyuan searched almost the entire Tianji Sect but could not find Fan Li.

I searched until night, when I accidentally heard a disciple named Wang Xin say that Fan Li had been to Lingxiao Peak.

He then rushed to Lingxiao Peak and learned the whereabouts of Fan Li from Zhou Ming.

But it’s not all good news.

It turned out that after Fan Li was driven out of Xuanji Peak, he did not go to Wangyue Peak where the inner disciples gathered.

She left in a hurry without even finding a place to stay, and her whereabouts are unknown.

Fan Li has no master now, so naturally he doesn't have to report to his master wherever he goes.

She was free, and she could leave by just saying hello to the inner sect elders. As long as she didn't tell anyone, no one would know her whereabouts.

Fan Li said goodbye to Zhou Ming before leaving, but Zhou Ming didn't know where she went.

Fan Li only said that she would be back before the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference.

When Zhou Ming learned that she was expelled from Xuanji Peak, he congratulated her.

Fan Li was very happy and not sad at all.

Zhou Ming didn't ask her how she did it, he couldn't wait to invite her to Lingxiao Peak.

Xiaoyao Sanren also came forward and said that he could take her in. Fan Li thanked them for their kindness, declined politely, and then flew down the mountain on her sword without looking back.

Zhou Ming felt it was a pity that he couldn't let Fan Li stay in Lingxiao Peak.

He really admires Fan Li.

He thought that Fan Li, after learning Xiaoyao Sanren's shapeshifting technique, would be willing to stay at Lingxiao Peak and be their junior sister.

Those guys in Xuanji Peak who don't know how lucky they are are really enviable.

Therefore, when he met Gu Xingyuan, Zhou Ming did not give him a good look.

"Why did she say goodbye to you before she left, but not to us?!" Gu Xingyuan looked unhappy.

When did Xiao Qi get such a good relationship with the people at Ling Xiao Peak?

Gu Xingyuan did not go for training last time, and did not know that Fan Li became friends with Zhou Ming and others in Lingyu Secret Realm.

Zhou Ming took a sip of tea leisurely and said slowly: "She is no longer from Xuanji Peak, why does she have to report to you wherever she goes?"

"In other words, it is her freedom to go wherever she wants and it is her right to say goodbye to whomever she wants. You have no right to interfere."

Zhou Ming's tone was light, but it made Gu Xingyuan feel suffocated.

Gu Xingyuan was speechless, his face turned blue and purple, and he felt extremely uneasy standing in front of the two men.

He didn't even know when Xiaoqi made a new friend. Was it because he really didn't care enough about Xiaoqi?

Wang Fa sat next to Zhou Ming, blew a sip of tea leaves in the cup, and said quietly: "Come to think of it, Junior Sister Fan brought us a lot of gifts when she came back from outside this time. Senior Brother Gu, do you have any?"

Fan Li actually brought them gifts? !

Gu Xingyuan was jealous to the point of going crazy, but he still managed to keep a straight face and said calmly, "Of course!"

In fact, there is none at all.

If it were in the past, Gu Xingyuan would have thought that Fan Li had forgotten, but the situation was different now. He knew his own limitations, and Fan Li probably had never even thought about it.

Wang Fa seemed not to notice Gu Xingyuan's bloodshot pupils. He deliberately placed the gift on the stone table and said:

"Mysterious crystals, Qingling grass, spiritual sandalwood... they are all good things. Junior Sister Fan is really generous. I'm sure the gift she gave to you, Senior Brother Gu, must be better than these."

"It's a pity that Wushuang is still in seclusion. I don't know what gifts she prepared for Wushuang. It's not easy for us to open them and take a look. Sigh."

Zhou Ming naturally saw that Wang Fa was deliberately provoking the other party, and he also cooperated: "Wushuang and Junior Sister Fan are the best friends, so the gift must be good."

Gu Xingyuan stared at the things on the stone table, his eyes were filled with devastation, and he pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty.

Before that, he will also have a share of these gifts!

Fan Li was going too far. He actually gave such a good thing to an outsider!

Gu Xingyuan originally thought that Fan Li had a very bad reputation in the Tianji Sect and would not have any friends if he left them.

Before this, when he couldn't find Fan Li, he even imagined her huddled in a corner, alone and pitiful.

But in fact, he was wrong again, and the slap in the face came unexpectedly.

At this moment, Gu Xingyuan finally realized an extremely cruel reality: they were no longer the only ones in Fan Li's world.

She has her own friends too.

This should be something to be happy and relieved about.

However, the price of this is that Xiao Qi is getting further and further away from them...

Seeing Wang Fa bragging about how close Fan Li was to them without any reservation, Gu Xingyuan's heart was bleeding.

He couldn't stay there any longer, so he found an excuse and fled.

Zhou Ming snorted coldly and didn't want to say a word.

Wang Fa also restrained his cynical smile and said sarcastically: "There will be a time when you will regret it to the point of vomiting blood."

Late at night, Gu Xingyuan returned to Fan Li's cave in dejection. As soon as he entered the door, he was overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol.

Gu Xingyuan was slightly startled, thinking that it was Fan Li who came back.

He cried with joy and blurted out "Xiao Qi".

However, before he could finish his words, he discovered that the person in the room was not Fan Li, but Shen Rong.

Why is Third Junior Brother here? Has he never left?

Shen Rong was leaning over the desk. When he heard the noise, he raised his head dazedly and squinted his eyes to look.

Then he laughed foolishly.

"Xiao Qi, you're back."

Gu Xingyuan's heart sank to the bottom, and then a wave of resentment rushed to his head.

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Shen Rong called him "Xiao Qi".

Gu Xingyuan strode forward, grabbed Shen Rong by the collar, and shouted angrily: "Xiao Qi is gone, what's the point of you shouting now?!"
