Wei Jue's eyes revealed deep suspicion as she stared at Ye Li.

After a moment of silence, Wei Jue's mouth corners slightly raised.

He asked Ye Li with a smile in a polite yet forceful manner.

Her voice was gentle but firm, revealing her deep doubts about Ye Li's remarks and her urgent pursuit of the truth.

"Why do you say that? What is your purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Li's lips curled up into a meaningful smile!

That smile was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, carrying a bit of warmth yet also hiding imperceptible ripples.

She gently shifted her gaze away from Wei Jue's face and looked into the distance, as if she was thinking about something.

And it seems that he is just enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

"This is such a big sect,"

Ye Li spoke slowly, her voice soft but clear, "Indeed, as you said, there are countless people with lofty ideals gathered here, and everyone has their own pursuits and desires. In these long years, it is inevitable that there will be people who are like you, who have a deep obsession with something, but they chose to take that step earlier and act in advance."

Wei Jue couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart as he listened to Ye Li's words.

She realized that her previous suspicions and doubts might be just the tip of the iceberg.

There may be more unknown secrets and complex emotional entanglements hidden within the sect.

Wei Jue's eyes were filled with complex emotions, including distrust of Ye Li's words and doubts about his own judgment.

He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he wanted to see through Ye Li's true intentions deep in her heart.

When facing Ye Li, his tone was unusually calm, even with a barely perceptible chill.

"The reason you came to me was just to tell me this?"

Wei Jue spoke coldly, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Revealing his deep suspicion of Ye Li's motives.

He folded his arms, leaned back slightly, and maintained a posture that was both alert and distant.

Upon hearing this, Ye Li raised a scornful smile, which showed her expectation of Wei Jue's reaction.

She shook her head slightly, as if she found Wei Jue's questioning somewhat amusing.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines obliquely on the quaint courtyard, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet moment.

Ye Li and Wei Jue stood opposite each other, their figures looking particularly solemn amid the interweaving of light and shadow.

Ye Li held tightly in her hand a mysterious bead that emitted a faint luster. Her eyes showed both worry and determination, as if the bead was carrying a heavy weight.

"You know, if this bead falls into someone else's hands, it will not be a small matter!"

Ye Li's voice was gentle but firm, and every word seemed to strike directly at Wei Jue's heart.

Her tone showed both trust in her allies and a deep awareness of the possible dangers.

There was an unquestionable light flashing in those clear eyes, making people involuntarily feel the weight of her words.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jue looked at Ye Li deeply, his eyes that were usually full of sharpness now showed a hint of gentleness and understanding.

He seemed to be deeply touched by Ye Li's words, and a complicated smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Under Ye Li's firm gaze, he slowly spoke in a low and magnetic voice: "As an ally, you must show sincerity."

The afterglow of the setting sun has gradually faded, and night has quietly fallen, covering the courtyard with a layer of mysterious veil.

Ye Li and Wei Jue stood face to face, the air around them seemed particularly tense and full of anticipation because of the upcoming conversation.

Ye Li's eyes sparkled with wisdom; she had long seen through Wei Jue's persistence and unfinished business.

She smiled slightly, and that smile showed a deep understanding of her allies, as well as a bit of confidence and determination.

"I can help you find the truth about the battle you fought in that year,"

Ye Li's words were clear and firm, and every word seemed to directly hit the desire deep in Wei Jue's heart.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jue's body trembled slightly, and a barely perceptible excitement flashed in his eyes.

"And you have to cooperate with my actions."

Ye Li continued, her tone revealing an unquestionable determination.

Wei Jue was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

Shen Yue was mercilessly taken into the depths of the cold and damp prison, surrounded by towering stone walls. Only a faint ray of daylight penetrated through the narrow window lattice, barely illuminating the despair in this small space.

Her figure seemed particularly thin in this gloomy environment, as if she would be swallowed up by the endless darkness at any time.

Ever since entering this cage, Shen Yue has been trapped in endless torture.

The physical pain was still bearable, but the mental torment followed her like a shadow, almost suffocating her.

Day after day, she was forced to face the cold interrogation, each time it was like a sharp knife cutting through her heart, bleeding but no one knew.

Her eyes gradually lost their former luster and became empty and dull, as if all the vitality and energy were being drained away bit by bit in this endless suffering.

Her face was haggard, her skin looked pale and dull due to lack of sunlight, and there was no trace of smile in her eyes anymore.

She spoke less and less, and every time she spoke it was as if she had used up all her strength. Her voice was hoarse and low, revealing endless fatigue and despair.

In these dark days, Shen Yue seemed to be forgotten by time. Every day was like wandering in a long dream, unable to find a way out and seeing no hope.

She tried to struggle and resist, but every effort seemed to hit an indestructible iron wall, leaving only scars and deeper despair.

"Am I going to die here? Why do these people want to harm me and kill me?"

There were no more tears in Shen Yue's eyes. She curled up her body, trying to get some warmth this way!

Bu Ze stood in the dim candlelight, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of worry and confusion about Shen Yue's situation.

He clenched his hands into fists, as if he wanted to condense the anger and doubts in his heart into a force to break through the oppressive atmosphere.

It was quiet all around, with only the occasional clanging of chains and low groans from afar, reminding people that this was a prison full of pain and despair.

Bu Ze's thoughts were like fallen leaves blown by the wind, chaotic and complicated.

He knew Shen Yue's character very well and firmly believed that she would never do the evil deeds she was accused of, but the reality before him was so cruel that he couldn't help but wonder if there was some force controlling everything in secret.

"This is not just a simple frame-up,"

Bu Ze thought to himself, "Why would someone go to such great lengths to let an innocent disciple endure such harsh punishment? What is the purpose behind this?"

There was a cold gleam in his eyes, as if he had seen through some unknown conspiracy.

"Is there anyone who wants this bead?"
