Fan Li walked closer step by step.

She walked slowly and steadily. As she approached, the pressure became stronger and stronger.

The weight pressing on Lin Zichen seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, squeezing his internal organs.

"Puff——" Lin Zichen spat out a mouthful of blood.

Blood splattered on the ground, and the hands that were supporting the ground began to tremble uncontrollably, and the bones were about to break.

By the time Fan Li walked in front of him, Lin Zichen had been forced to bend down, and his head hit the ground heavily.

Completely lost the power to resist.

Making Lin Zichen kneel down in front of the junior sister whom he once looked down upon was more painful than making him eat shit.

Fan Li's cold voice fell from above: "Brother, this is not the way for a small foundation-building cultivator like you to talk to a Jindan cultivator."

Lin Zichen's veins bulged and his blood rushed as he tried to resist this pressure.

But he tried his best and could only raise his head slightly, and he couldn't even see Fan Li's face.

There was a flash of surprise and anger in his eyes, and disbelief.

He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "How could it be possible that it is a golden elixir!"

"Junior Brother Lin, don't you know that when a man has not been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes?" Zhou Ming said slowly, and there was finally a hint of smile in his tone.

There was relief and pride in Zhou Ming's eyes as he looked at Fan Li.

Just now he was worried that Fan Li would be lenient towards his senior brother who hurt him as he had been before, but now he was completely relieved.

Fan Li looked down at Lin Zichen and said, "I tolerated you repeatedly in the past because I regarded you as more than just my senior brother, but you took advantage of this and ordered me around and humiliated me in every way. You also took my efforts for granted."

"If I didn't value you, who do you think you are? Do you really think you are a nobody?"

Lin Zichen stared blankly at the tip of Fan Li's shoes. He opened his mouth, but something was stuck in his throat.

"I'm telling you clearly now. From now on, I will no longer call you Senior Brother, and I will never tolerate or condone you in the slightest."

Fan Li's tone was calm and firm, and his words were like a sharp blade, piercing people's hearts.

"If you offend me again like you did today, don't blame me for being merciless!"

After saying that, Fan Li retracted his gaze and looked at Zhou Ming, "Senior Brother Zhou, let's go."

Zhou Ming nodded, glanced at Lin Zichen, shook his head, and said: "Junior Brother Lin, you should be ashamed."

Fan Li and Zhou Ming both left.

The pressure from Lin Zichen had long since disappeared.

But he still remained kneeling on the ground, motionless, with a dazed look on his face.

The photo bead accidentally recorded the scene just now.

Fan Li's resolute words were played over and over again.

"...From now on, I will no longer call you Senior Brother, nor will I be tolerant or accommodating in the slightest."

Every word that Fan Li said was crystal clear, including Zhou Ming's last sentence, "You should feel ashamed."

Lin Zichen wondered blankly, was he really wrong?

After an unknown amount of time, the numbness in his legs brought Lin Zichen back to his senses.

He staggered to his feet. Fan Li's voice in the image bead was like a spell. He felt upset and threw it directly into the storage bag.

He rubbed his face and regained some energy.

Some gnashed their teeth and said, "I'm not wrong, yes, I'm not wrong!"

However, there was a voice in my heart yelling: "Lin Zichen, you are not only wrong, you are extremely wrong!"

This was clearly his own voice.

Lin Zichen was horrified.

How could he hear his own voice?

Lin Zichen looked around and found that everything was quiet and he didn't hear any strange noises.

He patted his face and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he heard his own voice again.

"Think about what you did to Fan Li before. You trampled on her sincerity and teased her like a fool. Now that she has pointed it out to you, you dare not admit it. You are such a coward!"

"I'm so ashamed of you!"

Lin Zichen said in panic: "Shut up! Shut up right now!!"

He held a sword in one hand and covered his ears with the other, slashing at the air like a madman.

Xiao Yan watched in secret, stroking his chin and thinking: Is this another crazy person?

......

"Junior Sister Fan, if you feel aggrieved and unhappy, just vent it out."

"Anyway, don't hold it in. It will only breed inner demons."

Zhou Ming followed Fan Li, one step behind her.

He didn't know how to comfort people, so he could only comfort them in such a stiff way.

Fan Li stopped and said softly, "Brother Zhou, do you think I went too far just now?"

If it had happened before, Zhou Ming would have felt that Fan Li's actions were a bit excessive.

But after he witnessed how Lin Zichen humiliated Fan Li, he felt that Fan Li was not going too far at all!

In Ye Wushuang's words: Not twisting his head off and kicking it like a ball is already giving him face!

Zhou Ming pursed his lips and said bluntly: "I would rather you go a little further."

Thinking of what Fan Li had just said to Lin Zichen, Zhou Ming's heart tightened. How much disappointment must he have accumulated to say such decisive words?

He didn't even dare to think about how uncomfortable he would feel if Ye Wushuang said those things to him.

Of course, he didn’t know whether Lin Zichen felt uncomfortable or not.

Zhou Ming said: "I will definitely stand on your side."

A gentle smile spread across Fan Li's face. "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou. Actually, I don't feel bad at all. After saying those words, I feel very happy."

This is the truth.

In the past, she always endured it again and again, swallowing all the grievances and bearing them by herself.

But her tolerance only resulted in more severe bullying and insults from others, which made her doubt herself for a time, wondering if she was really that despicable and deserved to suffer.

Now she understood.

She is upright and honest, what has she done wrong? She will no longer waste her energy and doubt herself.

Zhou Ming looked at her carefully and felt relieved when he found that she was not forcing herself.

It seems that Fan Li has really let it go.

No, she should have come to terms with it a long time ago.

Otherwise, her cultivation would not have improved so quickly. Zhou Ming felt a little ashamed. He underestimated Fan Li's character.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming couldn't help but worry about his junior sister.

The former Fan Li is back, can Wushuang still catch up with her?

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

Ye Wushuang came quickly from a distance, looking anxious, "Where have you been? Something happened!"

Zhou Ming's face changed slightly. All the disciples stationed in Wangyue Valley were present. The only ones who got into trouble could be those who had gone out and had not returned.

Ye Wushuang looked at Fan Li and said, "Your junior sister is missing."

Fan Li: "Isn't she with Su Muqing?"

He almost said it directly, Su Muqing loved Song Xixi so much, how could he lose her?

Ye Wushuang: "It is said that they let Song Xixi go into the cave alone to find the spirit beast, and then she never came out again. Don't you think it's strange?"

This spiritual beast naturally refers to the Phoenix Bird.

They haven't told anyone else about the Phoenix yet.

The phoenix came back with Fan Li. Although she didn't have a contract with her, she was still the one who found it, so the decision was up to Fan Li.

Before this, the three of them would not say a word.

Fan Li said "Oh" without showing much concern, looked around and asked, "Where is Senior Brother Wang?"

Ye Wushuang said: "I went to help find someone. Su Muqing is almost going crazy looking for him."

At this moment, there was a fluttering sound of wings overhead.

The Phoenix Bird flew down from the tree with a graceful posture, which was very beautiful.

He sprained his ankle when he landed.

It seems that one can read the word "embarrassment" on its face.

Fan Li tilted his head, looked at it, then lifted it up and observed it carefully.

Ye Wushuang also came over curiously and asked, "What's wrong with it?"

Fan Li suddenly realized: "No wonder it has been standing on one leg, it turns out that the other leg is injured."

"Let me see." Ye Wushuang said.

The phoenix became restless as soon as it came into her hands. Ye Wushuang slapped its crown directly and said fiercely, "Don't move!"

Phoenix's eyes were full of stars.

Sparks shot out of its eyes as it stared at Ye Wushuang, as if to say: How dare you! Woman, you are the first person who dares to hit me!

Ye Wushuang took a look, relaxed his frown, patted its head gently and said, "It's a small problem. I can cure it."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"no problem."

Not long after, Su Muqing came back alone, his face as gloomy as water.

He went straight to Fan Li, stretched out his hand, and said straight to the point: "Xiao Qi, isn't Second Junior Brother's tracking disk with you? Quickly give it to me."
