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

Shen Rong regained most of his consciousness after being awakened by Gu Xingyuan's roar.

Logically speaking, cultivators will not get drunk no matter how much alcohol they drink, unless they want to be drunk themselves.

Shen Rong's eyes gradually became clear, but they were still red. A trace of pain flashed across his eyes, but he did not refute.

Gu Xingyuan grabbed the wine jug on the table and took a big gulp. Then, as if he had lost all his strength, he knelt down in front of Shen Rong with bloodshot eyes.

"Xiao Qi is gone now. She left us behind. How could she be so cruel?"

"If she hadn't practiced the ruthless way, wouldn't this have happened? It was the ruthless way that changed her."

As he spoke, he looked up and saw Shen Rong with his eyes downcast and silent, looking very sad. He gritted his teeth and put the wine jug heavily aside.

"Aren't you the happiest person now that Xiao Qi is gone? Who are you pretending to be like this for?!"

"Xiao Qi..." Shen Rong hesitated to speak.

He wanted to say that he was not happy at all, and he also wanted Fan Li to come back.

Gu Xingyuan interrupted him with a shout.

"I'm telling you, you don't deserve to call her Xiao Qi!!"

Gu Xingyuan vented all his anger on Shen Rong.

He picked up the wine jug, poured the remaining wine on Shen Rong's head, and then threw it behind him.

The wine jug hit the wall with a loud bang and broke into pieces.

Shen Rong remained indifferent. He reeked of alcohol and lowered his head, allowing Gu Xingyuan to beat and scold him.

He has always been eloquent and sharp-tongued, but now he has become mute.

Gu Xingyuan had almost vented his anger. He took a breath, reached out and grabbed Shen Rong's collar, and said in a hoarse voice: "Get out! Don't defile Xiao Qi's cave. Xiao Qi will be angry when he comes back and sees it."

As he said this, he was about to drag someone away.

Shen Rong closed his eyes tightly, and then suddenly jumped up!

He threw Gu Xingyuan to the ground, punched him, and growled:

"What right do you have to say that about me? You're not a good person either!"

"She won't come back, she won't come back again, face the reality!"

"Shut up, shut up!"

Gu Xingyuan refused to give in and kept punching him.

The two men wrestled with each other, turning Fan Li's already tidy cave into a mess.

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden overbearing wave of spiritual power descended from the sky.

The two men were knocked to the side and fell to the ground in different embarrassed postures, with bruised faces and disheveled clothes, looking utterly undignified.

As if realizing something, the two of them quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.

Looks terrified.

"Disciple has met Master."

"I've met Master."

Two voices spoke at the same time.

Yunmeng Zhenren, dressed in an indigo robe, appeared at the entrance of the cave, standing with his hands behind his back. Behind him was the quiet and desolate night. With the light against him, his expression could not be clearly seen in the shadows, but the cold and stern aura around him was enough to make one's knees weak.

"Look at you guys, how disgraceful!"

A cold roar fell on the two men's heads, like thunder.

"Master, calm down!"

Gu Xingyuan and Shen Rong hurriedly tidied up their messy clothes, but they became even more messy.

They looked at each other and could see each other's embarrassed posture.

Three men stood in Fanli Cave, each with different thoughts.

Master Yunmeng's face was gloomy. He glanced around and suddenly found something on the ground.

He used his spiritual power to bring it before his eyes.

After seeing what it was, he was slightly stunned.

The clay figure has been repaired by Gu Xingyuan using his spiritual power, but if you look closely you can still see tiny cracks on it.

Didn't Fan Li take this with him? Or did he forget about it?

Although Fan Li never said anything about this clay figurine, he always knew that she valued it very much.

Master Yunmeng glanced around and found that everything was still there. His heart suddenly relaxed and a hint of secret pride flashed across his eyes.

He knew that Fan Li was reluctant to leave and didn't even take the clay figurine with him. He must be planning to come back at any time.

If she had admitted her mistakes with a better attitude, he might have given her a place in Xuanji Peak, but she could no longer call him Master.

"What about her?"

He remembered that Fan Li was extremely lacking in love when he was a child. Whenever he got angry, he would run away from home without saying a word. But in fact, he was hiding in the tree hole of the ancient peach tree, waiting for someone to find him.

And he always finds himself in the same spot, as if he's afraid he won't be able to find me.

I guess it’s still the same now…

Just as he was thinking this, his second disciple said in despair:

"Master, Xiaoqi is no longer in the sect."

Master Yunmeng was a little surprised, but Gu Xingyuan and Shen Rong both lowered their heads and did not notice that their master showed any emotion.

"She left the sect?"

Gu Xingyuan nodded: "Yes."

Master Yunmeng didn't quite believe it, and his spiritual sense enveloped the entire Tianji Sect, and he even went to look for that tree hole specifically.

After a moment, he discovered that Fan Li was indeed no longer in the sect.

Gu Xingyuan was about to plead for mercy, but when he looked up, his master had disappeared.

......

Master Yunmeng went to Wangyue Peak.

Elder Wang, who was about to take a rest, turned around and saw the stern-looking Master Yunmeng. He was immediately terrified: "Sect Master, what can I do for you?"

Master Yunmeng got straight to the point and asked, "Has Fan Li ever come to see you?"

Elder Wang quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Elder Wang then briefly explained the matter of Fan Li going out.

Inner disciples are not subject to any restrictions and only need to come to him to get a travel seal when going out.

He really left.

Her foundation is damaged, why is she running around everywhere?

Master Yunmeng frowned and asked again, "Has she found a place to live?"

"not yet."

Elder Wang looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, thinking that the sect leader was quite concerned about the girl. If that was the case, why would he be so cruel as to drive her down the mountain?

It seems that the rumors cannot be fully trusted.

Elder Wang's eyes rolled, and he said cautiously, "However, there are still a few vacant caves on Wangyue Peak. She left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell her. After she returns to the sect, I will let her choose for herself."

These words are only said to the Sect Master.

In fact, this was not what Elder Wang said when Fan Li came to see him.

When Fan Li asked if there were any vacant caves, Elder Wang casually said he didn't know and sent the person away.

The competition among inner disciples was fierce, and cave dwellings were precious resources. These resources were controlled by Elder Wang, and he could make a lot of money from one cave dwelling. He would not give it away for nothing, let alone to a disciple with a bad record.

however.

Now that Elder Wang has discovered that the Sect Master doesn't dislike Fan Li as much as the rumors say, he naturally has to change his attitude.

Master Yunmeng said nothing and was about to leave when Elder Wang seemed to have thought of something.

"metropolitan."

Master Yunmeng turned around and looked at him.

Elder Wang thought about it and felt that he should remind the sect leader.

"Right now, rumors are spreading within the sect, saying that Song Xixi is your daughter who has been stranded away. Sect Master, look at this..."

Master Yunmeng's expression changed slightly.

How did this news get out?

Elder Wang knew from his expression that this was probably true.

He lowered his eyes and said nothing, muttering to himself, "I didn't expect that someone like the Sect Master would have romantic debts. Fortunately, Huan Yue San Ren has long passed away, otherwise, with her violent temper, I'm afraid..."

The hem of his clothes swayed in front of him, and Elder Wang immediately calmed down and looked up at the sect leader.

"I understand."

After saying this, Master Yunmeng left.

Elder Wang sighed.

The news that Fan Li was expelled from the sect spread throughout the Tianji Sect in less than half a day, but she herself left in a hurry.

In the eyes of others, Fan Li left because he was ashamed to stay in the sect and was afraid of being laughed at.

There were many people who laughed at her, but most of them sympathized with Fan Li, saying that she was squeezed out by Song Xixi.

Unexpectedly, this incident improved Fan Li's reputation among his disciples, but Song Xixi was in trouble.

But all this could not affect Fan Li who was gaining experience outside.

Three months later, Fan Li came to Qingyun City again.

Piao Miao Pavilion.

The person in the mirror looked at Fan Li and said with a gentle smile, "Daoyou, long time no see."

Fan Li nodded: "Long time no see."

After a few pleasantries, the person in the mirror told Fan Li the whereabouts of the last piece of the treasure map.

Fan Li looked surprised.

It was actually in Jianmen Sect.

Fan Li felt relieved, it would be easy since he was an acquaintance.

After thanking the person in the mirror, Fan Li quickly turned into a long rainbow and left Qingyun City without further delay.

When I flew from here to Jianmen Sect on my sword, the sky was turning pale and the sun was rising.

Fan Li did not stop for a moment and landed directly in front of Jianmen Sect, then put away his flying sword.

Sensing the approach of a cultivator, two white-robed disciples carrying heavy swords immediately appeared and shouted, "Sect's restricted territory, no one is allowed to enter!"

The two voices contained spiritual power, reaching the spiritual platform directly, and were very intimidating.

Fan Li's expression did not change at all, only her hair was fluttering slowly.

These are two foundation-building monks.

They looked at Fan Li and found that there was a chubby little orange cat following her.

So... so fat.

The two thought at the same time.

Fan Li bowed and said, "I am Fan Li from the Tianji Sect, and I have come to visit you specially."

Hearing her voice, the two Jianmen Sect disciples turned their eyes away from Fatty Orange.

Realizing that the other party's cultivation was unfathomable, they guessed that he was a Jindan cultivator. The two of them immediately became alarmed and their expressions became respectful, but more vigilant.

"Tianji Sect? May I ask if you have any mentor?"

They didn't dare to let in a Jindan expert easily, so they had to ask clearly.
