A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

Lin Yi and Gu Chen took Pei Cangli back to the small courtyard where she had rented before. They took out the spiritual spring water from the space. Hong Yu took out the bathtub, put Pei Cangli in it, and asked Lin Yi and the others to wait outside.

Lin Yi took out a bottle of pills and asked Hongyu to give Pei Cangli one. The rest could be put in the bathtub so that she could soak in it to heal her wounds.

When Hongyu finished all these and came out, Lin Yi and Gu Chen were sitting on the side waiting for her. Hongyu knew that they would definitely ask about her sister's previous situation, so before coming out, she had already discussed the excuse with Cangcang and the others.

They said everything that needed to be said, and hid everything about the space and themselves. Lin Yi knew that Hong Yu had not been completely honest, but he knew that Pei Cangli had her own secrets that she shouldn't let him know, so he would choose to respect her.

After the three of them discussed recent events, Lin Yi realized that he had actually been used by someone, and the rumors were nonsense. The widespread spread of the rumors made Pei Cangli's situation even more difficult.

Gu Chen guessed that someone must have used Lin Yi and Si Yunzhou's experience in the secret realm to deal with Pei Cangli. The only people who knew about this were the twenty people from Qingying Sect and Suzhu Sect at the time. Unfortunately, everyone was focusing on the sect competition.

The two parties involved left to rescue Pei Cangli at that time and had no idea about this matter. When they came out of the secret realm, the rumor had already been widely spread and the source could not be found at all.

Gu Chen wanted to contact Si Yunzhou to come over and solve the problem together, but was rejected by Hongyu. She didn't want her sister to get hurt again because of being associated with him.

At this time, Si Yunzhou was sitting in the reception room of Qu's house, looking at Qu Ling'er opposite him, and said with a smile, "I heard that you arrested Pei Cangli because of me?"

Qu Ling'er looked at Si Yunzhou's expression and was a little unsure of what he meant, so she could only answer for the time being, "It is true."

"That's really hard for you. You've always been thinking about me. I just wonder how Pei Cangli is doing now?"

"Brother Yunzhou, you came at an unfortunate time. She was just rescued by Gu Chen and Lin Yi from the Suzhu Sect. When Lin Yi left, he told me to be careful next time."

"Oh, why is that? I remember that Brother Lin from the Suzhu Sect is not someone who cannot tell right from wrong. Did you do something to make Brother Lin behave like this?"

Qu Linger smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just helped you teach Pei Cangli a lesson. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be criticized by others for not caring about the sect."

Si Yunzhou's heart was bleeding with pain, but he still had to pretend that you did a good job. "How did you teach him a lesson? Who was involved in this? I have some spirit stones here, and I want to thank him."

When the guards nearby heard that there were still spirit stones to be earned, they all rushed to say, "I participated, I whipped her three times, I whipped her five times..." Some were even afraid that they would not get any spirit stones, and said that they were the ones who dragged her out after she fainted.

Si Yunzhou looked at the people in front of him. They all participated and were very excited. They wanted to receive rewards for this as a credit?

He raised his hand and set up a trap that had been prepared long ago, trapping everyone inside. With a flash of sword light, all the guards fell to the ground, with excitement on their faces about making money.

Qu Ling'er screamed in fear, and the ring on her hand fell off, "Why did you kill them all? Aren't you going to give them spirit stones?"

Looking at the ring that fell on the ground, Si Yunzhou pointed his sword at her and said angrily, "Why is this ring here with you? Do you think you deserve to wear it?"

"Yunzhou... Fellow Daoist Si, this is the Qu Mansion, don't mess around. My grandfather is in the forbidden area behind our mountain. If you kill me, you can't get out."

"Kill you? I've soiled my sword. If you do it again, these guards will be your fate. And remember, there are some people you can't just touch."

Pei Cangli's courtyard.

"I'm not! I didn't! It's not me!" Pei Cangli suddenly shouted. Hongyu ran in and found that Pei Cangli had not woken up yet and was just talking in his sleep.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? What's not you?"

Hongyu watched Pei Cangli's body begin to tremble continuously, ran out and told him about Pei Cangli's situation, and asked Lin Yi and the others what to do?

Lin Yi took out another pill and handed it to Hong Yu, asking her to quickly put it into Pei Cangli's mouth and then digest it with her spiritual power. He thought that she was haunted by the nightmare because she had not recovered from her serious injuries.

After Pei Cangli took the pill, her body soon stopped shaking and she stopped mumbling. After a while, wisps of white smoke appeared above her head. Hongyu had been observing her changes and when he saw this, he helped her lie down on the bed.

After a while, Pei Cangli slowly woke up. Seeing Hongyu at the head of the bed, she called out in surprise, "Hongyu, luckily you're okay. If you really had lost your power and exploded, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life."

"Sister, I took the spiritual herbs from the space to exchange for elixirs. When that bad woman saw me, she wanted to steal my spiritual herbs. I refused to give them to her, so she falsely accused me of stealing her spiritual herbs. She also tied me up and tortured me about the origins of the spiritual herbs. I didn't want her to succeed, and I couldn't beat so many people, so..."

"It's okay, don't worry, I will never let anyone bully you in the future, and I will never abandon any of you again."

"Sister, this time it was all thanks to Brother Lin Yi and his senior brother. They rescued you. I'll call them in."

"Brother Gu Chen, Fellow Daoist Lin, thank you for saving my life this time. I, Pei Cangli, am grateful. You not only saved me, but also saved my sister. She is very important to me."

"Brother Gu, Fellow Daoist Lin, I don't have anything to repay you, but I have a set of formation practice techniques and a book of Phantom Poison Secrets. You can each choose one, but I have already exchanged the formation with Si Yunzhou."

"Friend Pei, we did rescue you, but your sister came to Suzhu Sect to find us on her own. And you saved my brother and me before, so don't be polite. As a friend, this is what we should do."

In the next few days, Gu Chen returned to Suzhu Sect first, and Lin Yi stayed to take care of Pei Cangli. Although Pei Cangli repeatedly stated that he was fine, Lin Yi was still worried.

"Friend Pei, your injury hasn't healed yet, you still need to rest well. Why are you studying the Phantom Poison Secret Book again? You should wait until your injury is completely healed before you start practicing."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm fine. I was just reading a book and didn't practice. My body can handle it."

"Friend Pei, even though you are just reading a book, it is still very exhausting to use your spiritual sense to check it. In fact, you don't have to work so hard. You can choose to join a sect, or... or find someone to rely on."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, the reason why I am fighting so hard now is that I don't want to join the sect, and I also hope that I can protect myself next time I encounter danger. As for relying on others, I have never thought about it, and I don't think there will be such a person who hopes that others will always rely on him to live."

"Friend Pei, as long as you want, there must be someone willing to let you rely on him. Maybe you just didn't give others a chance. After all, Friend Si Yunzhou has always been..."

Before Lin Yi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Pei Cangli, "Fellow Daoist Lin, Si Yunzhou and I have nothing to do with each other. No matter what rumors are spread outside, I am just me and he is just him. I have never felt that others must be nice to me and repay my kindness just because I saved someone."

Si Yunzhou, who had just arrived at the door, was about to return the ring to Pei Cangli, but his hand that was knocking on the door stopped in mid-air. It turned out that in Pei Cangli's heart, I am just me and she is just her.

Looking at the ring in his hand, Si Yunzhou felt that he was trying to get closer to her step by step, but he was getting further and further away from Pei Cangli. He didn't even know why? He did nothing wrong, and Pei Cangli did nothing wrong, but the two of them were getting further and further away?
