Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle —
The chain rubbed on the stone surface and made a harsh sound.
A haggard woman came to them. She was wet and her clothes were dripping with water. It seemed that she had just been fished out of the river. Her hair was disheveled and she looked like a forbidden woman.
Beside her, Fang Ling was holding her and walking slowly.
"These two people …"
Black Lotus made a sound in the awareness sea. Su Li narrowed her eyes.
Mei Ruohan and Fang Ling were all acquaintances.
She watched them silently and let them get close to each other. Then … they passed each other.
"Senior Sister Apprentice, you haven't seen the sun for many years. It's sunny today and the weather is just nice. Master ordered me to take you to tidy up your appearance. Senior Sister Apprentice, you should cherish this opportunity."
Fang Ling whispered softly on one side. Many female disciples dressed as maids followed her all the way, holding bright red clothes and phoenix coronets in their hands.
Su Li's eyes flickered slightly. She turned around and followed the last maid. She blended into the team like a transparent person.
After a while, they came to a magnificent hall. Su Li looked up at the plaque of the palace, which read "Lingyu Hall".
She slightly twitched the corner of her mouth. On the Mount of Holy Girl, this palace used to be called "Linli Hall".
As the maids walked into the hall, a cold pneuma came to Su Li, which vaguely made her feel familiar.
Fang Ling had helped the haggard woman to sit down in front of the dressing table. The maids stood around them.
"This palace was originally Senior Sister's. If Senior Sister hadn't chosen this path back then …"
Fang Ling nagged. Before she finished, Mei Ruohan, who had been like a zombie, finally said hoarsely, "Enough."
Fang Ling was not angry. She just waved her hand and said, "Put down everything. You go out first. I will personally help you bathe and change clothes."
The leader of the group of maids hesitated a little. Then she put down the tray in her hand and left with all the maids.
After everyone left, the smile on Fang Ling's face disappeared. She waved her hand to set a soundproof boundary, but did not see that Su Li was sitting beside the dresser and watching them from beginning to end.
"Senior Sister, this is your last chance. Brother Luo's identity will be exposed very soon. If you don't grab hold of it, you can only stay in the underground ice prison for the rest of your life. Brother Luo's painstaking efforts will be wasted!"
Mei Ruohan stared blankly at the haggard face in the mirror and said coldly, "How many benefits did you receive from Luo Yichen?"
Fang Ling was slightly stunned. Tears gradually appeared in her eyes. She bit her lips and held back her tears. "Senior Sister, it has been a thousand years. Why do you still take it to heart? I know that you must care about Brother Luo and everyone in the Linli Building, right? "
Mei Ruohan smiled sadly and said, "The Linli Building? I am not me, and he is not him. The only real Su Li was killed by me. Why should I take it to heart? Aren't you … still calling me Senior Sister? Let me ask you, which Fang Ling are you? Which one? "
Fang Ling held her breath and was full of bitterness. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said softly, "I don't know, but I know that the Senior Sister Apprentice in Qingshui Circle has died. You are pure Mei Ruohan. Why do you continue to feel guilty for that evil thought? Now, you have to live! If you continue to stay in the ice prison, you can't hold on for a long time! "
Fang Ling wiped her tears and said, "That's all. Senior Sister Apprentice, think about it."
Then she turned and left the palace, leaving Mei Ruohan sitting alone in front of the dresser and lost in thought.
At this moment, a light flashed in front of the dresser and Su Li's figure appeared. In order to let Mei Ruohan recognize her, she even used All Spirits Tactics to change her face into the appearance of her previous life.
Mei Ruohan was not surprised to see her at all. She just muttered with a smile, "I think too much, but I don't see any benefits. But I often see hallucinations. Tell me, what do you hate me for this time?"
"Hate you?"
Su Li said softly and seriously, "What do I hate you for?"
Mei Ruohan's eyes showed self-mockery, "This time I changed the trick. Is it your turn to ask me? Then let me tell you, you hate me for destroying your Life Ring! I cut off your cultivation path! Every time you appear, you bleed from your seven apertures. You can't wait to eat my flesh and blood, immediately turn into ashes, and never be reincarnated! "
Speaking of this, Mei Ruohan suddenly opened her hands and laughed hoarsely, "Come on! My life is here. Li, take it. Whether it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I'm willing to do it. It's all my sins!!! "
Fang Ling stood in front of the hall and listened to the voice coming from the hall. Her eyes flickered, but there were no tears.
Beside her, the leading maid stared at her without anyone noticing. From time to time, she could hear the whispers of the other maids. "The previous Saintess has gone crazy again. She's talking to herself, crying and laughing. How many times has it been?"
"Just get used to it. I heard that the former holy girl married a good family. I really envy her."
"Silence!"
The leading maid's voice was a little louder and suppressed all the whispers. Then she bowed to Fang Ling respectfully and retreated with all the maids to a farther place.
In the hall, Su Li stared at Mei Ruohan without blinking.
Until Mei Ruohan felt a little strange, she suddenly chuckled, "Ruohan, you are wrong. I don't hate you."
！！
Mei Ruohan trembled all over and looked at Su Li incredulously. Her lips trembled and she opened her mouth several times, but she couldn't make a sound.
Finally, she suddenly thought of something and suddenly sat up straight. She slowly stretched out her cold hands and wanted to touch Su Li.
But Su Li dodged and let it go.
"Plop …"
There was a sound of a stool overturning in the hall. Fang Ling still stayed outside and didn't go in.
Mei Ruohan lay on the ground and propped herself up. She looked up at the familiar figure squatting in front of her and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you … real?"
"What's real and what's fake, what's fake is real. You have punished yourself for a thousand years, but you still haven't figured it out. I can't figure it out either. "
Su Li's tone was gentle, just like in the Muyang Girls' School. Every word she said was so calm and contained a convincing force.
Mei Ruohan's eyes were full of tears. She couldn't speak anymore. Only a strong sense of guilt and remorse slowly spread in the air.
"I really don't blame you. From the moment your original soul dissipated, you were Mei Ruohan. I hate a lot. I hate Yuxu Sect's selfishness. They used me as a tool and abandoned me after using me. I hate the behind-the-scenes manipulator who manipulated my life and made my death worthless. I hate the world even more. Why didn't they allow me to be born and turn a blind eye to me and let me bring disaster to the world? "
"There is unwillingness and despair in my heart. But I still have a trace of warmth for you at the beginning. I am very happy to see you are still alive. "
"Live well, Ruohan …"
With the last sentence, Su Li's figure dissipated as if she had never appeared.
Mei Ruohan was in a daze. After a long time, she burst into tears.
…
In the village under the Jiuzhou Mountain Range, Su Li looked relaxed. She held a stick of candied haws in her hand and shuttled through the busy night market.
It seemed that she returned to the temple fair in the Dasu Town overnight. It was simple and pure.
But Su Li knew that everything could not go back.
"Little Su Li, you didn't have to show up just now. Why? Don't tell me you really have good intentions towards them? They stayed by your side in the Reincarnation Mirror and were the ones who obtained the most luck. "
Su Li ate a stick of candied haws, and the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth.
She closed her eyes contentedly and said to herself with a smile, "I haven't eaten it for a long time. It tastes good."
"Su Li, you haven't answered me yet!"
Black Lotus's face was full of anger, and he was on the verge of exploding. Was his sense of existence that low? Why was he always ignored by Su Li?!
"Don't guess my mind in the future. It's very tiring."
After that, Su Li quickly passed through a section of the downtown and ran to the street of the lantern show.
Black Lotus looked tired and complained in his heart, "You are more than two thousand years old, but you still jump when walking. Do you really think that you are a girl?!"
Of course, he never dared to say this in the open.
A month later, Su Li returned to Ni Sect, which only Hua Yan knew.
It had been two months since Su Yang and Su Mu came to Ni Sect.
"How did they do?"
Su Li threw a storage space to Hua Yan, "The spiritual flowers and herbs found along the way look good. Try to put them into the Hualing Pool, which is also good for your cultivation."
Hua Yan rolled her eyes grumpily, "You risked your life to go to Yuxu Sect, but you still remembered to bring flowers and herbs. You really want to die."
Although her words were sharp, Hua Yan was happy in her heart. She answered seriously, "The two of them are quite talented. They are almost on the same level as Yan Ziye. Moreover, the three of them have been getting along with each other for the past two months. Yan Ziye seems to know them."
"There are only a few holy sects. It is normal for holy sects' disciples to communicate with each other." Su Li smiled and continued to ask, "Anything else?"
Hua Yan shook her head, "Nothing. Ni Sect has Su Yuanhai's support, so it is very comfortable. Usually, the disciples of the sect will meet some people for the tasks of demons and monsters, but there is no other battle. But Su Yuanhai … "
Su Li raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong with Su Yuanhai?"
"He is not in a good situation recently. The Sixth Branch of Su Family is competing with him for a spiritual stone mine, and they are fighting fiercely recently. The other branches of the Su Family have all turned a blind eye to this and have not interfered. "
"What about the Second Branch?"
Su Li remembered Su Dieyin who had a very good attitude to her before. Although the Second Branch of Su Family was still in the belly of the nightmare and did not go back, Su Dieyin would not fall out with them according to her character.
Hua Yan sighed, "She wants to intervene, but the Third Branch, the Fourth Branch and the Fifth Branch work together to pressure her, so she can't intervene. I don't know what the head of the Sixth Branch of Su Family likes about the spiritual stone mine. But its geographical location is a little special, and all the spiritual stones produced are low-grade spiritual stones. Logically, it should be even more disdainful."
"Special location?" Su Li sensed something wrong and asked, "Where is the spiritual stone mine?"
Hua Yan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "It is the Black Stone Forest!"
