The waste she became the first array mage

"Of course it's worth it." Zhao Jinfan looked like he wouldn't say anything until she let go and spared his life.

"Okay, if you can tell me who killed her, I will spare your life." Li Yiru took back the magic sword, but the formation was still there and he could not run away.

"I just... suspected... at that time, after I hurt you..." Zhao Jinfan said slowly. Even though he was forced by Han Yuzhen to hurt her and swore not to tell anyone, he still wanted to see how she was.

When Li Yirou heard this, she sneered in her heart. She was just pretending to be merciful and regretful. She had already accepted Han Yuzhen's benefits, so why was she pretending to be innocent?

After he was punished by the Law Enforcement Hall, he was not allowed to receive treatment and could only rely on himself to recover slowly. He also had to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes. When he came out after recovering, he didn't expect that Li Yirou had already become an inner sect disciple.

She had finished tempering her body long ago and had originally gone to the back mountain. Later, probably due to Han Yuzhen's restrictions, Li Yirou rarely left the foundation-building cave.

Later one day, Zhao Jinfan heard that she had been to Wang Xiuling's place, so he thought of trying to wait there.

Unexpectedly, Chef Wang, who almost never left the house and whose food was delivered directly by the Deacon Hall, actually left the dining hall. He thought he was going to see Li Yirou, so he secretly followed him.

But Wang Xiuling went to the master's cave, so he returned to the dining hall and waited.

Wang Xiuling did not come back. He was practicing and recovering in the formation. The person he met at night was the head of the sect, Lu Guanqing.

He was also puzzled. Why did the headmaster come here alone in the middle of the night? Chef Wang was not there.

But the next day, the disciples found Wang Xiuling dead in the dining hall...

After listening to his story, Li Yirou believed it 8%. She recalled that Aunt Xiuling had said that she could hold on for a few months, but she died suddenly.

But she didn't expect that it was Lu Guanqing who killed her. What kind of grudge could there be between them? Aunt Xiuling barely had any cultivation, so how could she have offended the head of the sect?

"I dare not tell this secret to anyone, Senior Sister, please spare my life..." Zhao Jinfan deliberately coughed many times and covered his wound to show that he was seriously injured and in more pain than she was when she was injured. He hoped that she would let him go.

Li Yirou stared at him through the cloth without saying anything, so he quickly added, "I swear, I will not tell anyone a word about what happened to you today or your cultivation level, or I will die suddenly!"

“Also, don’t tell anyone else about the matter between the master and Wang Xiuling.” Li Yiru frowned as she watched the black energy coming out of his body which had not yet disappeared. She didn’t even plan to take action, so why did he still look like he was about to die?

After the battle with Han Yuzhen, perhaps her soul was aroused, her third eye would open from time to time to observe a person's fortune.

"How dare I!" Zhao Jinfan said so, and to reassure Li Yirou, he swore, "Senior Sister, please spare my life!"

As expected of a scoundrel, he was able to put down his dignity. Li Yirou actually admired him a little. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to kneel down and beg for mercy without dignity.

She put away her magic sword and set out on the journey back to her sect.

Zhao Jinfan looked at her from behind and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would be beaten by her without any chance to fight back.

Hearing that Wang Xiuling was killed by Lu Guanqing, Li Yiru felt depressed and sad, but would she challenge another foundation-building cultivator for the sake of this friendship?

Thinking of this, Li Yirou actually already had the answer in her heart: she wouldn’t.

Wang Xiuling and she had been together for a period of time, and they had accompanied each other. He was a ray of light for her when she first came to Yijian Sect.

If...if they could get along for a few more years, she might really treat each other as a family member.

However, the time was short, and everything was just a disguise for her to find someone to rely on. Although there was some true love, it was not much in her heart.

She still had a balance in her heart, and friendship also required a similar equal exchange. Aunt Xiuling did favor her, but was this favor heavy enough to be compared with the favor of saving her life?

She didn't care about money or other things used to repay favors. If she lost these external things, she could earn them back. But she couldn't risk her life.

Li Yirou just felt that she was hypocritical. While deceiving others, she almost deceived herself.

Aunt Xiuling really cares about her, but there is still a lot between them in her heart. Only by peeling off layer after layer of disguise can she see the true feelings.

But what could she do...If she were a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation building at this moment, she would definitely go and get the truth for her and avenge her.

If it wasn't for her own business, she wouldn't be so impulsive as to fight a battle she was not sure of winning.

Wait, if she reaches the late stage of foundation building, then go and avenge Wang Xiuling.

But Lu Guanqing seems to have a Jindan elder? It would be safer to cultivate to Jindan.

In her heart, if she had to rank them, she would be first, followed by Taxue, Duobao, and even several teammates, who were her life-and-death friends, and were more important than Wang Xiuling.

Aunt Xiuling, if you knew I was actually this kind of person, you would regret it and blame me, I'm sorry...

But she and him had been separated for many years, and time could dilute many feelings. Li Yirou put aside her guilt and joined the sect. The restrictions on her token had long been dissipated.

Taking advantage of Han Yuzhen's recent death and his status as an inner sect disciple not yet revoked, Li Yirou went to the library first. There was no lower part of the Five Elements Tai Chi Sword, not even the middle part. There was only the simple upper volume.

She suddenly remembered the Thousand Sword Sect that Li Yi had mentioned, which collected many sword techniques. Li Yitian was in that sect and had given him a communication talisman. Could she make use of it?

What’s even more coincidental is that the Thousand Sword Sect is in Qingyun City, and the Sun, Moon and Star Secret Realm is also nearby.

It's time for her to leave.

Li Yiru took out the communication talisman and sent a message to her senior sister, saying that she was waiting for her in the dining hall.

This place has probably been abandoned for a long time. After Aunt Xiuling died, the dining hall has been completely out of use.

She looked at the burned hut, which had been replaced by growing grass and trees. In the space, the note Aunt Xiuling gave her was still there...

"Junior sister!" Lin Chunfang came after a long time, "Have you been waiting for a long time? The headmaster asked me and Senior Brother Qi Yu to ask some questions."

She looked at this place and remembered that it was here that her junior sister burned Chef Wang's body.

She thought her junior sister would break down and cry, but she was holding back her anger and was so sad that she vomited blood.

Hearing that it was the Sect Leader, Li Yirou's heart sank, "Sect Leader?" She felt helpless.

She only remembered how the other party rushed over quickly when Han Yuzhen was killing people indiscriminately in the Baiguo Secret Realm.

Lin Chunfang thought that she had never seen the master before and was a little curious.

But it was just right. She had a lot of things to say but didn't know who to talk to. Now that Li Yiru was back, her desire to chat became stronger.

"Yes, the headmaster said that Master has a soul-suppressing bead that he had borrowed from the sect, and the headmaster wants to get it back.

Asked me if my master had left me any clues before he left."
