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

Without waiting for Fan Li to answer, Shen Rong took Fan Li away on his own initiative.

Although he has a handsome face, he is incredibly strong and pinched Fan Li's wrist so hard that it hurt.

"Third Brother, you hurt me."

Shen Rong ignored her and took Fan Li to a deserted place before letting her go.

"Fan Li, you killed Zhao Wuchang, right?" Shen Rong asked again, as if questioning.

Fan Li rubbed his wrist and said lightly: "No."

She naturally wouldn't admit it.

Shen Rong said: "Then why are you there?"

Fan Li sneered: "What you said is unreasonable. If I was there, I would be the murderer. So, can I also suspect you as the murderer?"

"You!" Shen Rong opened his mouth, but was speechless. In the end, he could only say this angrily.

"Sharp-tongued!"

Fan Li observed his expression with interest and said, "Third Senior Brother, are you speaking up for Junior Brother Zhao? When did your relationship become so close?"

Shen Rong immediately denied it, with an expression of extreme disgust: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know him at all!"

He never looked down upon people like Zhao Wuchang.

What's more, he also heard the sound coming from the magic weapon and learned what despicable means Zhao Wuchang was going to use to deal with Fan Li. His first reaction was to tremble with anger, and he wished he could whip Zhao Wuchang's corpse!

How could I stand up for such a scum?

"Why is Third Senior Brother so angry?" Fan Li lowered his hands and looked at him with his head slightly tilted.

"If the murderer is really me, Third Senior Brother, are you planning to capture me and bring me to Master, to kill my relatives for the sake of justice?"

Without giving it much thought, Shen Rong blurted out, "Of course not! Why would you think of me like that?"

Fan Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

She really wanted to tell Shen Rong, because that's what you did in your previous life, but the person she killed was not Zhao Wuchang.

It doesn’t really matter who it is.

In the previous life, in order to make room for Song Xixi, Shen Rong tried every means to drive her out of the Tianji Sect. He kept watching her make mistakes and found fault with her.

Even if Fan Li made only a small mistake, he would seize the opportunity and instigate his master to kick her out.

"Fan Li is so stupid, she can't learn anything, why are we still keeping her in the Tianji Sect to eat and drink for free?"

"Fan Li has a terrible character and will only bring shame to us. Tell her to pack her things and get out of here."

"Master, drive her away, and Xuanji Peak will be peaceful."

Even after Fan Li's death, Shen Rong still said contemptuously to her corpse: "I told you to leave, but you refused. Now that you've died in such a miserable way, do you feel comfortable?"

Everything that happened in his previous life was still vivid in his mind, and Fan Li had never wronged him at all.

Shen Rong didn't understand why Fan Li sneered like that, his face turned pale: "Whether you believe it or not, I never thought of doing that to you. I was just afraid that you would go astray!"

"Are you afraid that I might go astray and embarrass you?"

Shen Rong was furious: "What's shameful or not?"

Fan Li waved his hand, too lazy to listen to his nonsense, "Alright, that's enough. Don't follow me."

Fan Li left without looking back after he finished speaking. Shen Rong was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, so he punched the tree trunk next to him.

After getting rid of Shen Rong, Fan Li went straight to the library.

After solving the trouble with Zhao Wuchang, Fan Li was in a good mood and his steps became much lighter.

She deliberately chose a secluded path to walk on. There were weeds and lush branches and leaves on both sides. Spots of sunlight sprinkled on the ground, making it very quiet.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind me.

I thought that the annoying guy Shen Rong had followed me again, but when I turned around, I found that there was no one behind me.

A gust of wind blew, and the grass swayed gently, rustling.

Fan Li stared at it for a moment, without thinking too much, and continued walking forward. After a while, he left the Spirit Beast Garden.

After she disappeared, a golden furry head quietly poked out from the grass.

It is a thin orange cat, and its fur is bright golden in the sun.

The little guy sniffed the ground, his round eyes seemed to be smart. After identifying the direction, he spread his paws and followed.

*

The library is tall and magnificent, with vigorous and powerful characters engraved on the lintel, exuding a sense of vicissitudes of life that has been tempered by time.

Fan Li glanced at the door lintel and walked in.

The library has seven floors, housing tens of thousands of books covering everything. Finding the fragments of the Tianyan Jue among them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But no matter how difficult it is to find, Fan Li will keep looking.

Time passed by little by little, the outside world fell into darkness, and lights were lit in the library, with candlelight flickering.

Some people noticed Fan Li's presence, frequently casting curious glances at her and whispering about something.

"Isn't that the Sect Master's personal disciple, Fan Li?"

"The sun has risen from the west. Senior Sister Fan actually came to the library and stayed for such a long time."

"Isn't she hailed as a genius? Why would such an intelligent genius need to study in the library?"

There is sarcasm in his words.

Fan Li's apprenticeship ceremony was very casual and not many people came.

But she is very famous, because almost the entire sect knows that she has the one and only innate ice spiritual root in the world.

Because of this, Fan Li became the sect's key training target from the very beginning.

As we all know, cultivation resources are limited. Some people get more, while others get less.

The disciples were all somewhat dissatisfied with Fan Li, but they dared not speak out.

It would be fine if Fan Li was worthy of the sect's cultivation, and they would accept it.

But Fan Li is not a genius at all!

There are three pieces of evidence:

One is that Fan Li established his foundation too late, and his cultivation speed was barely on par with the inner disciples, even slower than the frail and sickly Song Xixi.

Secondly, although both are sword cultivators practicing the Zi Yang Jue, Fan Li is not as good as his senior brother from the same lineage.

The Zi Yang Jue possessed immense power. Fan Li had been practicing it for so long, but was unable to unleash even 30% of its might. He felt truly unworthy of the Sect Master's years of cultivation.

Third, Fan Li is just a blockhead!

Fan Li’s six senior brothers each have their own strengths.

The eldest brother is the strongest sword cultivator of his generation, the second brother is a genius alchemist, the third brother is a talisman cultivator that is rarely seen in a century, the fourth brother is a very powerful body cultivator, the fifth brother is an instrument cultivator with extremely high comprehension, and the sixth brother is a music cultivator who is proficient in music.

Even the younger junior sister is very insightful in everything she learns, but unfortunately, her health is poor and she cannot wield a sword. She is currently diligently studying alchemy, and her talent is surprisingly even greater than that of Baicaotang's young master, Gu Xingyuan.

Only Fan Li, apart from his innate ice spiritual roots, has nothing to show for it.

It can be seen that the title of genius is pure bullshit.

How could others not blame her when so many cultivation resources were wasted on her?

"You've sucked so much blood from the sect, but it's useless. You should spit it out and return it to us."

"The innate ice spirit root is just this good. I think the Sect Master has been deceived."

"Never mind what she does. Let's go."

Fan Li pretended not to hear the derogatory voices behind him and did not refute them.

She was lost in thought for a moment.

What those disciples said was not wrong. She just lacked understanding, so she was slow to learn anything.

But she remembers it wasn't like that at first.

When she first became their disciple, the master and the elders all praised her for her rare talent, intelligence, excellent comprehension, and spiritual energy.

The Zi Yang Jue also requires extremely strong comprehension to practice, otherwise you can't even reach the threshold.

But later on, for some reason, she gradually began to have difficulty in studying, her thinking remained superficial, and her "understanding" seemed to have abandoned her.

As time went by, she became dull and clumsy, like a woman in her seventies, unable to do anything well.

On the other hand, Song Xixi has become what everyone calls a smart, alert, and able-bodied genius. No matter what she learns, she can handle it with ease and is truly almighty!

Wait, omnipotent?

Suddenly, Fan Li realized something was wrong, and an idea flashed in his mind.

How could a normal person be good at everything? Especially a monk!

There are three thousand great ways, and everyone has his own way. Only by reaching the utmost in one way can one finally achieve complete merit.

If you are too greedy and want to get involved in everything, you will lose sight of the big picture and will find it difficult to achieve anything.

However, Song Xixi not only took care of everything, but also mastered everything and reached the pinnacle.

Is this a genius or a monster?
