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

Song Xixi's eyes immediately turned red after being yelled at, but she didn't dare to say much. She lowered her head and kept her lips tightly closed.

Under the table, his hands clenched the corners of his clothes, and tears welled up in his eyes.

This was the first time she was scolded by Master Yunmeng since she returned to Tianji Sect.

I feel so aggrieved.

In the past, Shen Rong would have comforted her immediately at this time, but now he didn't even give her a glance.

Shen Rong lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Song Xixi paused and glanced at her second senior brother sitting opposite her.

Gu Xingyuan sat upright, looking at his master with a hesitant look, as if he wanted to say something, but Master Yunmeng's expression was so terrifying that he lowered his head timidly.

He also didn't pay attention to Song Xixi.

Song Xixi bit her lip, her nails almost digging into her flesh, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

She couldn't tolerate everyone's attention being on Fan Li.

Think positively.

Fan Li, the scourge, has been driven out of Xuanji Peak. They will still miss her for a short time, but Song Xixi believes that time can dilute everything.

Soon, Xuanji Peak became her world, and she became the most favored junior sister.

The table was filled with delicious wine and delicacies. This meal was to make up for the New Year's Eve dinner, but the atmosphere was not as good as before.

In the past, we had to sit close together at this big round table, but it didn’t feel crowded at all. Now there are a lot fewer people, and although the seats are more spacious, I feel very uncomfortable.

Even the delicacies on the table dimmed.

Master Yunmeng did not move his chopsticks, and no one else dared to move either.

The air seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, making breathing chilly.

Shen Rong secretly communicated with Gu Xingyuan.

——Have you found Mo Chuan?

Gu Xingyuan on the opposite side shook his head slightly with an unpleasant look on his face.

It was a coincidence that Mo Chuan disappeared on the day Fan Li was driven out of Xuanji Peak.

It happened that day that Shen Rong and Gu Xingyuan both missed Fan Li.

Mo Chuan used illusion on them.

They were trapped in an illusion without realizing it, and only realized it when the illusion disappeared.

However it was too late.

The two of them deeply regretted agreeing to let Mo Chuan go up the mountain. This person made a big mistake and caused them to lose Fan Li.

Shen Rong secretly swore that if he met the other person again, he would cut him into pieces to vent his hatred!

He'd better run away.

the other side.

Su Muqing, Han Shouyu and Lin Zichen have rushed back without stopping.

Three people flew on swords, with Su Muqing in the lead, and a bright crescent moon behind them.

Lin Zichen caught up with Su Muqing and said happily, "Big Brother, you are right. I feel much better after atoning for my sins. Now I can face Xiao Qi calmly!"

As he spoke, he rubbed his knees and grinned.

"Hiss... My knees are almost skinned. I can finally have a good rest."

Lin Zichen's way of atonement was to walk around the temple, bowing his head with every step, and bowing his head three hundred times a day, one to atone for his sins, and the other to pray for Fan Li.

Over the past six months, he has been working tirelessly, regardless of wind or rain, without slacking off at all. He believes that his sincerity will surely move God and cleanse his sins.

All the masters in the temple say so.

"Look, I see Xuanji Peak!"

Han Shouyu caught up with them from behind, walked side by side with them, and pointed to a place not far away and said.

Su Muqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Master has come out of seclusion, and they are waiting for us to eat."

Lin Zichen and Han Shouyu were immediately delighted when they heard this.

They came back late, I hope Master won’t blame them.

Han Shouyu clenched his fists and said, "This time I have to apologize to Xiaoqi."

Lin Zichen also said: "Me too!"

Su Muqing knew that the two were sincerely repentant, and he was very relieved. He smiled and said, "Okay, go down quickly, don't keep Master waiting."

After saying that, the three of them accelerated and flew towards Xuanji Peak.

After a while, the three of them landed steadily under the ancient peach tree.

After a long time, seeing Su Muqing again, Song Xixi couldn't help but stand up and subconsciously wanted to go forward to greet him.

On second thought, she felt that he was too proactive, so she suppressed her joy and stood there staring at him blankly.

Su Muqing did not fail to notice Song Xixi's sad and weary gaze. He frowned slightly and pretended not to see it.

Then, led by him, three people stepped forward to pay their respects to Master Yunmeng.

"Greetings, Master. I'm sorry I'm late. I hope you'll forgive me."

Lin Zichen said sweetly: "Master has come out of seclusion, and his cultivation must have improved. Master is worthy of being the Master. We are far behind."

Master Yunmeng had a cold face and said nothing.

Lin Zichen didn't know that he had stepped on a minefield.

During this retreat, Master Yunmeng still failed to achieve enlightenment.

He was obviously just one step away, and had even touched the threshold of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he just couldn't get over it!

I don’t know where the problem lies...Fan Li’s face suddenly appeared in my mind.

Master Yunmeng felt a surge of irritation in his stomach, and his eyes became increasingly dark and cold.

Since he became a god, his emotions have not fluctuated for a long time.

Fan Li was like a thorn in his heart. Even if he couldn't see this person, he would feel irritated just by thinking about her.

Gu Xingyuan winked at them frantically.

The three people who had just returned finally realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Lin Zichen shut his mouth.

Gu Xingyuan took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, stood up and said, "Big Brother, you are finally back, please take your seats."

Su Muqing glanced around and asked, "Where's Xiaoqi?"

In fact, he noticed that Fan Li was not there from the beginning.

But he didn't think much about it until he noticed the bad atmosphere at the table, and then he had a vague foreboding feeling.

And when he mentioned Fan Li, Master Yunmeng's increasingly cold eyes further confirmed his thoughts.

Su Muqing's heart couldn't help but tighten, and the joy of returning to the clan was somewhat diluted.

Gu Xingyuan's smile froze.

"Is she still angry and refuses to come?" Su Muqing stood in front of the table without sitting down.

Lin Zichen said, "That's impossible. She never misses a meal. Did she forget? Or did you guys already eat yesterday?"

Gu Xingyuan was a little hesitant to answer this question.

Or rather, he couldn't bear to see the darkening expressions on the faces of his senior brothers and the others when they learned the truth.

Gu Xingyuan lowered his eyes, avoiding the inquiring gaze of his senior brother, and turned to look at his master sitting in the main seat with a hesitant expression.

The air was stagnant for a moment.

Han Shouyu took the initiative to say: "Xiao Qi is too ignorant. How could she let everyone wait for her? I will go and call her over now!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Fan Li's residence.

Only then did Master Yunmeng speak calmly, "No need to go."

Han Shouyu misunderstood and said in surprise, "Master, Xiaoqi is a member of our Xuanji Peak. She is coming."

"She's not anymore."

"No? How could it be?" Han Shouyu said in a gentle voice, "Did Xiaoqi make Master angry again?"

"She was expelled from the sect and is no longer a member of Xuanji Peak."

Shen Rong couldn't bear to watch it anymore and spoke.

His voice was a little hoarse and his tone was flat, as if he had no emotion, but it was different from before.

When these words were spoken, Su Muqing, Han Shouyu and Lin Zichen all stood there in a daze, as if struck by lightning.

I couldn't respond for a moment.

Master Yunmeng lost his appetite, stood up suddenly, and left in a huff.

The remaining disciples looked at each other in bewilderment.

This meal is unbearable.

"Tell me what happened when I was away." Su Muqing closed his eyes, and the deep-buried anger leaked out but was quickly suppressed.

Gu Xingyuan sighed and recounted what had happened in the previous two days.

When Su Muqing learned that it was related to Song Xixi, his sharp eyes instantly shot over.

Song Xixi trembled all over and shrank her neck in fear.

A figure stood in front of her, guarding her.

It was Shen Rong who had been sitting next to her.

Song Xixi's eyes became hot.

In the original text, the third senior brother loves Song Xixi the most.

Looking at Su Muqing's attitude again, Song Xixi was very disappointed.

"Senior Brother, it's not Junior Sister's fault." Shen Rong said.

"Fan Li wanted to leave on his own."

He stated calmly, as if yesterday's loss of composure was just Gu Xingyuan's illusion.

Su Muqing said in a deep voice: "I don't believe it."

Lin Zichen became even more agitated, with veins popping out on his forehead: "I don't believe it either!"

Han Shouyu had to hold down his left hand which was about to riot. He immediately broke out in sweat and his arm was covered with black lines.

Shen Rong smiled sinisterly, with a hint of mockery in it.

"Let's stop deceiving ourselves. She's been eager to get away from Xuanji Peak for a long time. This is all our own fault."

Lin Zichen roared, "How could this happen? Where is she? I want to find her!"

Gu Xingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "She's gone. She's no longer in the sect. You won't be able to find her."

"She just avoided us because she was afraid of us pestering her."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zichen knelt on the ground in pain.

He grabbed the corner of Su Muqing's clothes, his expression confused and grief-stricken: "Big Brother, didn't you say that Xiao Qi would come back to us after we atone our sins? Why did she leave..."

"Big Brother, you lied to me."
