This question touched Fan Li's heart.
She is no longer as innocent as she was in her previous life. Especially after seeing Song Xixi's true face, Fan Li became extremely vigilant. She always felt that this incident was not simple and was weird in every way.
But she couldn't figure out how Song Xixi could make the demonic energy restless. Logically speaking, Song Xixi didn't have that much ability...
Suddenly, a cold voice was heard.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Everyone stopped talking immediately.
Fan Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man at first sight.
The one who came was Fan Li’s third senior brother, Shen Rong.
Next to Shen Rong is his second senior brother Gu Xingyuan.
The reason why I saw Shen Rong at first sight was because this man's appearance was so outstanding.
Her appearance is like jade, her skin is white as snow, and there is a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows. Her spirit is high and clear, like a jade tree in a forest of jade, a person from outer space.
It's a pity that she has a sour face and is a venomous snake. No matter how beautiful she is, she is still a thorny creature.
The person who had just scolded was Shen Rong. The disciples of Tianji Sect were a little afraid of him and began to play deaf and dumb.
Fan Li used to like this beautiful senior sister very much and had tried to please her many times, but now she just glanced at her and looked away.
Shen Rong soon found Fan Li and frowned: "Fan Li, why are you here?"
He never called Fan Li "Xiaoqi" or "Junior Sister" like other people did. He always called her by her full name, as if he had never acknowledged Fan Li's identity in his heart.
In Shen Rong's heart, only Song Xixi is his junior sister, and Fan Li is not worthy.
Fan Li turned his head and said coldly, "Where I am is none of your business."
When Fan Li spoke, everyone realized that the person they had been talking about was right behind them and they were startled.
Although both inner and outer disciples of the Tianji Sect wear light blue school uniforms, the inner disciples' uniforms are particularly beautiful, with cloud patterns that appear lifelike in the sunlight.
Fan Li was tall, about 1.7 meters tall, with a plain face and no cumbersome or elaborate headdress. She looked quite heroic, yet charming if you looked closely, so she did not look out of place among the male disciples.
Everyone has some degree of awe towards the master's direct disciple.
What's more, this person is Fan Li, the most beloved disciple of the Sect Leader, and she is not as easy to talk to as the Junior Sister, so she must not be offended.
Everyone stole a glance at her expression and saw that she looked calm and not angry. They breathed a sigh of relief and were glad that they had not said anything bad about her just now.
Shen Rong was slightly startled, vaguely feeling that there was something wrong with Fan Li's attitude, but he did not think about it any further.
He is very angry now.
The man stared at Fan Li with a sharp gaze, accusing her: "Fan Li! Are you just going to let others slander and frame your junior sister? Is this how you act as a senior sister?"
Shen Rong stepped forward, looking at him unkindly: "Or did you say something to them?"
Fan Li looked at him and suddenly smiled.
The blame came from nowhere, she is really wronged.
The funny thing is, she's already used to it.
Shen Rong frowned even deeper: "What are you laughing at?"
Fan Li raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of her mouth, looked at Shen Rong and said: "You asked me how I became a senior sister, I naturally learned from you."
Shen Rong looked puzzled and did not notice Fan Li's sarcasm for a moment.
Fan Li crossed his arms and retorted, "When I was slandered, did you say a word for me? What, Song Xixi is your junior sister, but I am not?"
When she was misunderstood in the past, she had heard a lot of the most unpleasant words. Now, these people just reasonably suspected Song Xixi and didn't say anything excessive, but they couldn't sit still.
How can people be so biased?
But it is also reasonable. After all, Song Xixi is their real junior sister, and she is just a less important fellow disciple.
Shen Rong stared at her without saying anything until Gu Xingyuan stepped on his foot, then he spoke reluctantly.
But his tone was very stiff: "Of course you are also our junior sister, this has never changed."
Gu Xingyuan quickly agreed: "Yes, Xiaoqi, you will always be our junior sister."
Shen Rong seemed to find this sentence very disgusting and turned his head away.
Fan Li glanced at him and sneered, not disguising his disgust.
Shen Rong immediately turned his head back.
He didn't expect that his junior sister, who was always well-behaved in front of him, would treat him with such a disdainful attitude. For a moment, he couldn't accept it and even felt offended.
"What's your attitude?!"
Fan Li said coldly: "Being your junior sister will shorten my lifespan."
Shen Rong's eyes widened, and his expression suddenly became terrifying: "You are born to be rebellious and disrespectful to your brother. I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my master!"
Gu Xingyuan quickly stopped him, "Third Junior Brother!"
Shen Rong said angrily: "Brother, please don't stop her. Look at what you have done to her?!"
Fan Li looked straight ahead without even glancing at them.
Fan Li was staring at a certain point in the air in a daze.
She couldn't help but think back to when she first came to the Tianji Sect, she was still a dirty little beggar with not a single spot on her body clean. Everyone was curious and disgusted with her.
The first time Fan Li saw Shen Rong, he was struck by his beauty and couldn't help feeling inferior.
Although Shen Rong looked disgusted, he still dressed her up and washed her himself. His movements were incredibly gentle and he even braided Fan Li's first pigtail in her life.
Just because Shen Rong treated her kindly this time, Fan Li would always remember it in her heart and think that he was a good person.
So even though Shen Rong never really recognized her identity later on, Fan Li didn't mind at all and even tried every means to please this cold and beautiful senior brother.
But no matter what Fan Li did, Shen Rong was not satisfied and always found fault with him. Fan Li hit a wall countless times and even banged his head against the wall until it was bleeding.
And she only realized before she died that the reason Shen Rong was like this was because in his heart, there had only been Song Xixi as his junior sister.
Shen Rong believed that it was Fan Li's appearance that took away everything that originally belonged to Song Xixi, including the love of her senior brothers, and this was Fan Li's original sin.
Before Song Xixi was found, Shen Rong had some complaints about Fan Li.
After Song Xixi came back, Shen Rong's attitude towards Fan Li became even worse, and she wished that her substitute would get out of Tianji Sect.
Look, the way Shen Rong looks at her now, if someone doesn't know, they would think she is an unforgivable person.
With Gu Xingyuan blocking her way, Shen Rong was unable to attack Fan Li, so she pointed at Fan Li and shouted, "You finally can't pretend anymore, right? I knew this was your true nature, stubborn and disrespectful. Someone like you is not worthy of being our junior sister!"
"Third Junior Brother!" It was too late for Gu Xingyuan to seal Shen Rong's mouth.
He looked at Fan Li in panic, hoping that she hadn't heard it.
But how could that be possible? When they started arguing, the people around them had already fallen completely silent.
Gu Xingyuan saw that Fan Li finally turned around and looked at them, but the look in his eyes was so cold, like a pool of stagnant water, which made his heart tremble.
"Yes, I am not worthy. Then you can ask Master to kick me out. Don't worry, I will never pester you."
Fan Li spoke in a brisk tone, looking nonchalant, but in the eyes of others, she was just saying it in anger because she was heartbroken and pretending to be strong.
Shen Rong thought he saw through Fan Li's mind and sneered, "I think even if Master agrees, some people will shamelessly stay in Tianji Sect. Don't think I don't understand you."
Shen Rong took a step forward and taunted, "After all, where else can you go except the Tianji Sect?"
Fan Li was not angry at all, and said calmly: "There is a place for me in this big world."
Shen Rong was stunned. Suddenly, he couldn't understand Fan Li. Did she really want to leave Tianji Sect?
Impossible! Fan Li is just shameless!
Shen Rong wanted to say something else, but Gu Xingyuan stepped on him again.
"Okay, Xiao Qi, stop talking in anger. Third Junior Brother, calm down too. There are so many people here. Do you think that others can't see enough of the jokes of our Xuanji Peak?"
For the sake of his second senior brother, Shen Rong said nothing more.
Fan Li was thinking about the Bing Xin Dan and was too lazy to argue with them, so he just walked forward with the team, leaving them with only an indifferent back.
Shen Rong glanced at her with a gloomy look, walked towards a cultivator, grabbed the man's collar, and asked, "Did Fan Li just lead you to say bad things about Junior Sister?"
He firmly believed that Fan Li must have done something, otherwise how could these people doubt the character of Junior Sister, who was such a good person, for no reason.
Fan Li must be holding a grudge, so he wants to throw dirty water on Junior Sister!
The young monk was very afraid of Shen Rong, so he shrank his neck and said, "No, no, Senior Sister didn't say anything."
Shen Rong didn't believe it and continued to ask: "What are you afraid of? Did she threaten you?"
The monk shook his head like a rattle and begged for mercy, "That's not true. Senior Sister didn't say a word from beginning to end!"
My God, if they knew Fan Li was present, they would never dare to talk about these things openly.
"Impossible!" Shen Rong seemed not to have heard what the other party said. He was unwilling to admit that he had misunderstood Fan Li, and his face was a little distorted.
"Okay, stop making things difficult for me." Gu Xingyuan took Shen Rong's hand away, and the cultivator immediately ran away.
Shen Rong wanted to say something, but Gu Xingyuan said in a deep voice: "Junior brother, stop talking. We are wrong this time."
Shen Rong looked unconvinced.
