Song Xixi's eyes immediately turned red after being yelled at, but she didn't dare to say much. She lowered her head and kept her lips tightly closed.

Under the table, his hands clenched the corners of his clothes, and tears welled up in his eyes.

This was the first time she was scolded by Master Yunmeng since she returned to Tianji Sect.

I feel so aggrieved.

In the past, Shen Rong would definitely comfort her immediately at this time, but now he didn't even give her a glance.

Shen Rong lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Song Xixi paused for a moment and glanced at her second senior brother who was sitting opposite her.

Gu Xingyuan sat upright, looking at his master with a hesitant look on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but Master Yunmeng's expression was so terrifying that he timidly lowered his head.

He also didn't pay any attention to Song Xixi.

Song Xixi bit her lip, her nails almost digging into her flesh, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

She couldn't tolerate everyone's attention being on Fan Li.

Think positively.

Fan Li, the scourge, has been driven out of Xuanji Peak. They are still thinking about her for a short time, but Song Xixi believes that time can dilute everything.

Soon, Xuanji Peak was her world, and she was the most favored junior sister.

The table was filled with delicious wine and delicacies. This meal was to make up for the New Year's Eve dinner, but the atmosphere was not as good as before.

In the past, people had to sit next to each other at this big round table, but it didn’t feel crowded at all. But now there are a lot fewer people, and although the seats are more spacious, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

Even the delicacies on the table dimmed.

Master Yunmeng did not move his chopsticks, and no one else dared to move either.

The air seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, making it chilly to breathe.

Shen Rong secretly communicated with Gu Xingyuan.

——Have you found Mo Chuan?

Gu Xingyuan on the opposite side shook his head slightly with an unpleasant look on his face.

Mo Chuan disappeared at a very coincidental time, on the day Fan Li was driven out of Xuanji Peak.

It happened that day that Shen Rong and Gu Xingyuan both missed Fan Li.

Mo Chuan used illusion on them.

They were trapped in an illusion without knowing it, and only when the illusion disappeared did they suddenly realize it.

But it was too late.

The two of them deeply regretted agreeing to let Mo Chuan go up the mountain. This man made a big mistake and caused them to lose Fan Li.

Shen Rong secretly swore that if he met the other person again, he would cut him into pieces to vent his hatred!

He'd better run away.

The other side.

Su Muqing, Han Shouyu and Lin Zichen have rushed back without stopping.

Three people flew on swords, with Su Muqing in the lead, and a bright crescent moon behind them.

Lin Zichen caught up with Su Muqing and said happily: "Big Brother, what you said is indeed true. I feel much better after redeeming my sins. Now I can face Xiao Qi calmly!"

As he spoke, he rubbed his knees and grinned.

"Hiss... My knees are almost skinned. I can finally have a good rest."

Lin Zichen's way of atonement was to walk around the temple, bowing his head with every step, and kowtow three hundred times a day, one to atone for his sins, and the other to pray for Fan Li.

In the past six months, he has been working hard in all weather conditions without any laziness. He believes that his sincerity is enough to move God and cleanse his sins.

All the masters in the temple say so.

"Look, I see Xuanji Peak!"

Han Shouyu caught up with them from behind, walked side by side with them, and pointed to a place not far away and said.

Su Muqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Master has come out of retreat, and they are waiting for us to eat."

Lin Zichen and Han Shouyu were immediately delighted when they heard this.

They came back late, I hope Master won't blame them.

Han Shouyu clenched his fists and said, "I will apologize to Xiaoqi this time."

Lin Zichen also said: "Me too!"

Su Muqing knew that the two were sincerely repentant, and he was very relieved. He smiled and said, "Okay, go down quickly, don't keep Master waiting."

After saying that, the three of them accelerated and flew towards Xuanji Peak.

After a while, the three of them landed steadily under the ancient peach tree.

After a long time, seeing Su Muqing again, Song Xixi couldn't help but stand up and subconsciously wanted to go forward to greet him.

On second thought, she felt that he was too proactive, so she suppressed her joy and stood there looking at him stupidly.

Su Muqing noticed Song Xixi's sad and weary gaze, but he frowned slightly and pretended not to see it.

Then, led by him, three people stepped forward to pay their respects to Master Yunmeng.

"Greetings, Master. I am late. I hope you will forgive me."

Lin Zichen said sweetly: "Master has come out of seclusion, and his cultivation must have improved. Master is worthy of being the Master. We are far behind."

Master Yunmeng had a cold face and said nothing.

Lin Zichen didn't know that he had stepped on a minefield.

During this retreat, Master Yunmeng still failed to achieve enlightenment.

He was obviously just one step away, and had even touched the threshold of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he just couldn't get over it!

I don’t know what the problem is...Fan Li’s face suddenly appeared in my mind.

Master Yunmeng felt a surge of irritation in his stomach, and his eyes became increasingly dark and cold.

Since he became a god, his emotions have not fluctuated for a long time.

Fan Li was like a thorn in his heart. Even if he couldn't see this person, he would feel irritated just by thinking about her.

Gu Xingyuan winked at them frantically.

The three people who had just returned finally realized that the atmosphere was wrong.

Lin Zichen shut his mouth.

Gu Xingyuan took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, stood up and said, "Big Brother, you are finally back, please take your seats."

Su Muqing glanced around and asked, "Where's Xiaoqi?"

In fact, he noticed that Fan Li was not there at the beginning.

But he didn't think much about it until he noticed the atmosphere at the table was not good, and then he had a vague foreboding feeling.

And when he mentioned Fan Li, Master Yunmeng's increasingly cold eyes further confirmed his thoughts.

Su Muqing's heart couldn't help but tighten, and the joy of returning to the clan was somewhat diluted.

Gu Xingyuan’s smile froze.

"Is she still angry and refuses to come?" Su Muqing stood in front of the table without sitting down.

Lin Zichen said: "No way, she never misses it. Did she forget? Or did you guys eat yesterday?"

Gu Xingyuan was a little hesitant to answer this question.

Or rather, he couldn't bear to see the gloomy expressions on his senior brother and the others' faces when they learned the truth.

Gu Xingyuan lowered his eyes, avoiding the inquiring gaze of his senior brother, and turned to look at his master who was sitting in the main seat with a hesitant expression.

The air stagnated for a moment.

Han Shouyu took the initiative to say: "Xiao Qi is too ignorant. How can she let everyone wait for her? I will go and call her over now!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Fan Li's residence.

Master Yunmeng then said calmly, "You don't have to go."

Han Shouyu misunderstood and said in shock: "Master, Xiaoqi is a member of our Xuanji Peak, she is coming."

"She's not anymore."

"No? How could it not be?" Han Shouyu said in a gentle voice, "Did Xiao Qi make Master angry again?"

"She was expelled from the sect and is no longer a member of Xuanji Peak."

Shen Rong couldn't bear to watch it anymore and spoke up.

His voice was a little hoarse and his tone was flat, as if he had no emotion, but it was different from before.

After these words were spoken, Su Muqing, Han Shouyu and Lin Zichen all stood there in a daze, as if struck by lightning.

I couldn't respond for a moment.

Master Yunmeng lost his appetite, stood up suddenly, and left in a huff.

The few disciples left looked at each other in bewilderment.

I can't finish this meal.

"Tell me what happened when I was away." Su Muqing closed his eyes, and the deep-buried anger leaked out but was quickly suppressed.

Gu Xingyuan sighed and recounted what had happened in the previous two days.

When Su Muqing learned that it was related to Song Xixi, his sharp eyes instantly shot over.

Song Xixi trembled all over and shrank her neck in fear.

A figure stood in front of her, guarding her.

It was Shen Rong who had been sitting next to her.

Song Xixi's eyes became hot.

In the original text, the third senior brother loves Song Xixi the most.

Looking at Su Muqing's attitude again, Song Xixi was very disappointed.

"Big Brother, it's not Junior Sister's fault." Shen Rong said.

"Fan Li wanted to leave on his own."

He stated calmly, as if yesterday's gaffe was just Gu Xingyuan's illusion.

Su Muqing said in a deep voice: "I don't believe it."

Lin Zichen became even more agitated, with veins popping out on his forehead: “I don’t believe it either!”

Han Shouyu had to hold down his left hand as it was about to riot. He immediately broke out in sweat and his arm was covered with black lines.

Shen Rong smiled sinisterly, with a hint of mockery in it.

"Let's stop deceiving ourselves. She has long been eager to get rid of Xuanji Peak. This is all our own fault."

Lin Zichen roared: "How could this happen? Where is she? I want to find her!"

Gu Xingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "She's gone. She's no longer in the sect. You can't find her."

"She just avoided us because she was afraid of us pestering her."

Hearing this, Lin Zichen knelt on the ground in pain.

He grabbed the corner of Su Muqing's clothes, with a look of bewilderment in his grief: "Big Brother, didn't you say that Xiao Qi would come back to us after we atone our sins? Why did she leave..."

"Big Brother, you lied to me."
