The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Li Li lowered his head so low that it was almost touching the ground.

"I...I...I really don't know. I've always lived and ate with Junior Sister. How come I wasn't poisoned? I can't figure out how I could have been poisoned."

"You and your junior sister eat and live together?"

The Master's increasingly cold words made Li Li more uneasy, and he shivered even more violently: "Hmm..."

"Ok?"

"without·······"

"cough······"

The sound of Ye Hua's cough saved Li Li, and the master appeared in front of her bed in a flash.

Li Li, who was scared half to death, finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the blue brick.

Ye Hua, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes. The pain and numbness in her chest made her beautiful brows frown.

She wanted to get up but she couldn't muster any strength with her hands on the bed. After failing again and again, she finally gave up.

"Li Li, why don't you come over here? It hurts so much!"

She then opened her eyes and looked around the bed. The curtains swaying in the breeze still exuded an antique scent like ink.

Before he could react, he was lying on his master's bed, but his eyes had already taken in his master's stern face.

"Why am I in your bedroom?"

"Don't you feel anything strange in your body?"

The master stretched out his hands and gently helped her up, letting her lean against the bed rail and considerately placed an embroidered pillow under her.

"I know. You didn't do anything to my friend, did you?"

Ye Hua just stared at his master without any respect, and there was a hint of blame in his eyes.

"Didn't you see that after you fainted, Zhu Jiuyin and Bai Ze almost burned down Qingcheng Mountain!"

Li Li then walked in again with a few bowls of hot food and answered Ye Hua's questions directly, fearing that his master would not be able to hold back and tell him everything.

"How dare they burn Qingcheng Mountain? Don't they know this is my master's territory? Even if they wanted to burn it, wouldn't you know to stop them?"

Ye Hua sat up excitedly, and his strength returned at this moment.

"Don't worry, even if you want to burn it? Do you think I will agree? You have to ask me, your master, first, right?"

The master took the food from Li Li's hand, scooped a spoonful and tested the temperature before putting it into Ye Hua's mouth.

Ye Hua, who had been starving for a long time, didn't care about all this. He opened his mouth and took the full mouthful of rice.

Hua Ye, who had fainted in her sea of ​​consciousness, was attracted by the aroma of food spreading from her mouth.

Hua Ye's tall nose moved, and his eyeballs kept moving under his eyelids.

The next moment, Hua Ye sat up cross-legged, his head turning as he looked at the familiar scene and couldn't help cursing.

"Master, how long am I going to stay in this shabby place..."

After shouting for a long time and cursing until his throat was smoking, Hua Ye stopped struggling and found a comfortable position to lie down in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The bowl of rice was soon finished, and Ye Hua's shriveled stomach became a little fuller, and he naturally regained some energy.

"Master, you promised me not to embarrass my friends. I hope you won't break your promise. Although they are beasts, they have not done anything against heaven and earth, so please forgive them for trespassing in Qingcheng Mountain."

Ye Hua spoke sincerely, but his timid attitude, which was intended to plead for them, hurt his master's eyes even more.

"They are just a little more noble than ordinary beasts, but that doesn't change the beastly nature in their bones. Your mother is the only immortal in the fairy world, so why should you lower yourself to befriend them?"

Li Li respectfully took the bowl from his master and was frightened by his righteous words...

Thinking of Zhu Jiuyin and Bai Ze who were taken in by his master, his hands could not stop shaking, and the porcelain bowl fell to the ground as soon as his hands lost their balance.

The porcelain bowl made a sharp and crisp sound when it collided with the blue bricks, which made the perceptive Ye Hua realize at once that Li Li was hiding something from her.

Li Li quickly waved his sleeves and collected the broken porcelain pieces on the ground into his robe.

"Master, I was distracted for a moment. I will be punished by going to the back mountain to face the wall and reflect on my mistakes."

Looking at Li Li who didn't dare to raise his head or look him in the eye, Ye Hua wanted to say something but stopped himself. He didn't know how to ask in front of his master, so he simply didn't ask.

Li Li hurriedly raised his hand and saluted respectfully. After receiving a nod from his master, he quickened his pace and disappeared into the hall.

"You haven't fully recovered yet. Wait until you're better before we talk."

The master's tone of voice became much gentler, and he took out a hot warming stone from his pocket and handed it to her palm.

Looking at his cool and gentle master, Ye Hua was distracted for a moment.

"You should have a good rest. I will be guarding you in the outer hall."

When the master stood up and left, Ye Hua came to his senses and immediately grabbed his cold hand.

"Master, I only have one thing to ask. Please don't hurt them. They are truly important to me. Even if they did anything to harm Qingcheng Mountain, it was because of me, not intentionally."

There was a glint of crystal in Ye Hua's almond-shaped eyes as he stared at his master acting coquettishly.

Seeing that Master's face was still indifferent, Ye Hua gently pulled his hand again and shook it.

"Master, if they hadn't protected Senior Brother Li and me all the way, how could a troublemaker like me have returned to Qingcheng Mountain unscathed? Please be magnanimous and let them go this time!"

Even the most icy Master couldn't stand her spoiled behavior and could only nod reluctantly: "This won't happen again. If they don't leave the mountain, then it's not my fault."

"When the time comes, I'll tell them and they'll all listen to me."

Ye Hua was visibly happy, with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided!"

When Ye Hua saw that the last trace of tenderness on his master's face had disappeared without a trace, the corners of his mouth that were raised instantly collapsed.

"Master, how could you do this?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in his beloved disciple's words, he explained calmly.

"If we let them go so easily, will the world think that I and Qingcheng Mountain are easy to bully? How can we gain a foothold in this world in the future? The title of the world's number one sect is not for nothing."

Ye Hua listened carefully and thought secretly in his heart: My body is not strong enough now, and I am not even sure of saving them from the master. I'd better wait until my injury is healed.

"Master, you should just give them a light punishment. After all, they didn't do it on purpose!"

"Just focus on recovering from your injuries first. I will keep them alive, so you can rest assured!"

Ye Hua's repeated requests made the master even more resentful, and he let go of her hand.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart: He talks about those two beasts every other sentence, and I don't even ask how I have been doing these years.

"Then you can't break your promise!"

"When has this master ever broken his promise?"

"I don't know, but you promised me, so I have to keep my promise!"

"Ye, Hua!"

The master called her name helplessly, then waved his sleeves and disappeared into the hall.
