Senior brothers, please stop abusing me. I'm going to change my ways to be merciless.

"Fan Li committed suicide out of fear of punishment. His death was not a pity!"

"If she hadn't colluded with the demons and stolen the sect's sacred artifact, how could the Tianji Sect have been easily conquered?"

"Luckily, we have our Junior Sister. She's incredibly popular, and even powerful people like her are always there to help. Even those previously unseen mighty ones are rushing to her aid. Just ask yourself, who in the world of cultivation can possess such charisma?"

"I heard that that damned traitor was hanged in the square for public display. Come on, go on, step on him!"

……

Countless insults entered Fan Li's head. People punched and kicked her with expressions of hatred as if they were looking at the murderer of her father.

No, it's not like that.

She is not a traitor, she has not colluded with demons, and she has not stolen the sacred artifact that protects the sect!

She did not commit suicide out of fear of punishment. She exhausted her life's cultivation to repair the cracks in the demon world, and finally the demonic energy entered her body and she died without being able to resist!

Song Xixi can testify to all this!

But no matter how hard Fan Li shouted, people could not hear the voice of the wronged soul.

Just when Fan Li was feeling lost and helpless, she saw a man flying down on a sword, like a god descending from heaven.

The man has a handsome face, a graceful demeanor, and an invisible aura of dominance.

"Big Brother..." Fan Li felt extremely aggrieved and instinctively wanted to get close to him.

This person is not only her senior brother, but also her lifelong Taoist partner, Su Muqing.

However, just as Fan Li took a step forward, his body suddenly froze.

She saw the eldest brother holding the hand of a woman in white, his eyes gentle and full of love.

"You are not in good health and are always afraid of cold. Why do you have to come to this dirty place?" Su Muqing warmed the woman's hands with both of his own, which was very considerate.

Fan Li's heart was filled with a subtle and intense pain.

The woman in white had a graceful posture, and her facial features were hazy under the veil, but even if this woman turned into ashes, Fan Li would recognize her!

Song Xixi!

The white-clothed woman's eyes were filled with pity. She said, "Senior Sister was certainly wrong, but she's already dead. Isn't it too much for Master to let her be abused by mortals like this? Senior Sister is such a proud person. This must be more painful for her than death."

Su Muqing's eyes were cold and ruthless: "Master did this because she deserved to die. Moreover, she has always treated you badly. Why do you sympathize with her?"

Hearing this, Fan Li closed his eyes, as if falling into an icy cave.

"That's right!" A baby-faced boy appeared and said, "Junior Sister, you are just too kind. Kind people are often bullied by dogs!"

"Second brother, senior sister is not that bad. It's all my fault." The woman's voice was so thin and soft that if they didn't have excellent hearing, they probably wouldn't have been able to hear it.

Gu Xingyuan immediately shouted excitedly, "Isn't she bad? Let's not talk about the past, she almost killed everyone this time! If you hadn't patched that hole, not to mention the Tianji Sect, all the people in the world would be doomed!"

What hole?

When Fan Li heard what his second senior brother said, an unbelievable guess came to his mind.

Then Song Xixi said softly, "This is what I should do. In the past, my brothers protected me, and this time it's my turn to protect everyone."

The other four brothers also came and happened to hear Song Xixi's heartfelt words, and their hearts softened.

Fan Li took a few steps back and finally understood everything.

When the cracks in the demon world were repaired, only the two of them were present. She died, so whether she was a merit or a fault was up to Song Xixi to decide!

But what Fan Li never expected was that this woman not only stole her credit, but also framed her!

Song Xixi, how dare you!

Fan Li hated her so much that he wanted to go up and fight her to the death.

But what she hated most were these men in front of her whom she once regarded as family!

She grew up with them since childhood, and was more like a family member than a family member. However, they did not believe her character and easily believed the one-sided words of a later comer!

They are even more hateful than Song Xixi!

In front of everyone, Song Xixi looked very self-blaming.

"Actually, I can understand Senior Sister. If I hadn't appeared and stolen the attention of the other brothers, Senior Sister wouldn't have turned from love to hate and committed such a heinous crime."

Su Muqing frowned and said unhappily, "Fan Li was originally your substitute. She asked for too much."

Hearing the word "substitute", Fan Li raised his head in confusion, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

At this moment, Yunmeng Zhenren, dressed in an indigo robe, appeared.

Everyone bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Master."

Master Yunmeng looked at Song Xixi, and a hint of tenderness appeared on his usually serious face. "Good boy, why are you still calling me Master? It's time to change your words and call me Daddy."

Song Xixi was stunned for a moment, then threw herself into Yunmeng Zhenren's arms, tears streaming down her face.

Master Yunmeng said with guilt and affection, "I'm sorry for the injustice you've suffered over the years. Your father has extracted Fan Li's spiritual roots. Once Daddy transfers her ice spiritual roots to you, your cold illness will be cured."

"What should I do..." Song Xixi wiped her tears, and the corners of her mouth under the veil couldn't help but rise.

Yunmeng Zhenren said without a trace of emotion, "I originally thought Fan Li was a genius, but I didn't expect her to be such a waste. Moreover, she has too many delusions and is unfit to be a cultivator. My master said it himself, your cultivation talent is no less than Fan Li's, it's just been delayed."

Master Yunmeng said, patting the girl's head. "The spiritual root exchange was also approved by our Grandmaster himself. Fan Li's ice spiritual root is unique, it would be a shame to waste it. Good girl, practice well, and don't let your senior sister down."

That's it!

This is so!

Song Xixi is the long-lost biological daughter of Yunmeng Zhenren, and she, Fan Li, is just a cheap substitute!

They all knew the truth, except her!

Fan Li was filled with sadness, his last bit of hope was completely shattered, and the doubts he had long had were finally answered.

No wonder whenever she tried her best to please everyone, Song Xixi would always reveal a meaningful expression intentionally or unintentionally.

It's like watching a funny clown striving for a result that will never be achieved.

It's ridiculous that she would rather believe that the reason why Master Yunmeng went against the crowd's opposition and accepted a person with useless spiritual roots as his last disciple was because of his overflowing sympathy, and she never doubted Song Xixi's identity.

Ridiculous, too ridiculous!

……

After the people vented their anger, they gradually dispersed.

Gu Xingyuan came to Fan Li's dilapidated body and looked down at her.

"Junior sister, goodbye."

A ball of scorching, dazzling fire gathered in his palm, and the next moment, Fan Li's body and soul were engulfed in flames.

Gu Xingyuan comes from an alchemy family and possesses the purest fire spiritual root. His flames can burn everything, including souls.

They want to wipe out Fan Li and eliminate all future troubles.

Even Song Xixi stopped pretending, her eyebrows curved into crescent shapes, like a winner.

Fan Li's body was destroyed, his soul shed tears of blood, and his hatred grew wildly along with the burning fireworks.

She hated them for being so heartless and ungrateful, and hated herself even more for not being able to judge people well enough and mistakenly treating this place as her only home.

When she was six years old, she was picked up from a pile of dead bodies by Yunmeng Zhenren and raised in the Tianji Sect.

It was Master Yunmeng who said in person that Tianji Sect would always be her home.

He also said that he had lost a daughter and that if she wished, she could call him "Dad" in private.

When she was twelve years old, she was diagnosed with a single ice spiritual root, making her the only ice spiritual root genius in the entire lower cultivation world. So it was natural for her to worship Master Yunmeng as her teacher, and her status was close to that of the chief disciple Su Muqing.

She is ranked seventh, and her senior brothers and sisters all call her Xiaoqi. There is no place in Tianji Sect that Xiaoqi cannot go. She is the free and proud Xiaoqi in everyone's eyes.

Until a frail and sickly girl named Song Xixi moved into the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhenbao, Zhenbao, it turns out she had already given the answer long ago. She was just deceiving herself and didn't want to believe it.

"You gave me delusions that I shouldn't have, and then you blamed me for wanting too much."

Everything in the past flashed by like a kaleidoscope, love and hate waxed and waned, and finally turned into a stagnant pool, and the heart was dead.

If she could do it again, she would never try to please others again, she would only please herself.

She doesn't want to be their Xiaoqi either, she is just Fan Li.

She wants to cut off all love and devote herself to practicing Taoism.

Boom——!

There was a loud thunder in broad daylight, and a dazzling golden light struck straight down, shaking the world of cultivation three times.

In a trance, Fan Li heard a distant voice.

"Fan Li, you finally got it."

"You have the purest innate ice spirit root, and are naturally suited to cultivating the ruthless path. If you change to this path, you will redefine 'genius'. The entire lower cultivation world will be unable to catch up with you. Song Xixi is nothing."

"There's no time to lose. While your state of mind remains unchanged, start practicing immediately!"

Fan Li looked around, but there was no trace of his fellow brothers. Only a vast expanse of white. He asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

"I?"

The voice was vague and vague, revealing a sense of freedom and unrestrainedness.

"You just need to know that I have met many geniuses, but they all call me a genius."

"And now, I am just a lonely soul. You can call me Wuxiang. From now on, I will teach you, and no one will look down on you."

Fan Li smiled bitterly and said, "But I'm already dead, so how can I still practice Taoism?"

"Who said you were dead?"

Wuxiang laughed out loud, and Fan Li didn't understand what he was laughing at.

"Innate Merciless Saint Body, you are only dead in your heart, not in your body. If you don't believe me, open your eyes and see."
