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

Elder Ziwei stared at Fan Li: "How did you know that the fragments of the Tianyan Jue were with me?!"

Fan Li blinked and said tentatively, "It was... some mysterious guidance that brought me here."

Upon hearing this, Elder Ziwei did not put away his sword, but just stared at her quietly.

A breeze blew in from the window, ruffling Elder Ziwei's three thousand silver hairs. She looked so young, but her eyes were full of vicissitudes of life.

"Did he ask you to come?" Elder Ziwei clenched the sword in his hand, his voice trembling slightly.

Fan Li's heart moved. Could the "he" that Elder Ziwei was talking about be Venerable Wuxiang?

Rumor has it that the reason Elder Ziwei stayed in the Tianji Sect was because he was waiting for someone.

No one knew who she was waiting for because she never waited for him.

Fan Li felt more and more that Wuxiang and Elder Ziwei had some secret past.

Fan Li was just thinking about how to respond when Elder Ziwei put down his sword. His voice had calmed down and there was no sound of abnormality in it.

"Tian Yan Jue is a technique of the Wuqing Dao. If I remember correctly, you are the master's disciple, practicing the Dao of Sword. Give me your hand."

Fan Li confidently handed her hand to the other party. Seeing that she trusted him so much, Elder Ziwei had no expression on his face, but his eyes had softened a lot.

After using his spiritual sense to investigate for a moment, Elder Ziwei released Fan Li, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "The thread of love has been severed. Is it because of emotional pain that you want to cultivate the path of ruthlessness?"

Fan Li's expression was a little bitter: "Not entirely."

Elder Ziwei looked at her expression and did not ask any further questions.

She remembered Fan Li, and her impression was still of the young girl's childish and cute appearance when she was paying homage to her master.

At that time, Fan Li was only twelve years old, at the most lively age, with eyes full of longing for the future. After becoming a disciple, he surrounded the master and chattered non-stop.

It was really noisy, but the leader didn't seem annoyed at all.

Because she has lived in the Tianji Sect since she was six years old and has been spoiled by the Sect Leader, the girl is unrestrained and outspoken, like a proud little peacock, always holding her chin high, full of vigor, lively and attractive.

Anyone who sees it can't help but take a few more glances.

It’s nothing like now, he looks so angry, tired and numb, which is really a pity.

Elder Ziwei could guess a little bit. Her spiritual awareness was spread throughout every corner of the library. She could hear clearly what the disciples secretly talked about in the library every day.

It seems that people's hearts will change, especially men's.

Elder Ziwei turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly:

"Little girl, the path of ruthlessness is not as easy as you think. Practicing the ruthless path means you have to abandon your family, lover, and friends. In the end, you will only be accompanied by loneliness!"

"Go back, I won't give you the Tianyan Jue."

Fan Li was somewhat unwilling to give up, and said with a firm expression: "Practice is inherently lonely, and I have no family or friends. This is all a dream, and it's time to wake up. I was born alone, so what is there to fear?"

Elder Ziwei snorted coldly, "Even so, you know that no one in the world of immortal cultivation has ever achieved perfect ascension on this path. Aren't you afraid that in the end, all your efforts will be in vain?"

He scolded softly, as if wanting Fan Li to give up.

"If there is no precedent, I will create it!" Fan Li stood straight and spoke clearly.

Elder Ziwei was slightly stunned, then laughed: "You are just a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, yet you are so arrogant. I admire you very much, but I still cannot give it to you."

Fan Li was really depressed: "Why?"

Elder Ziwei raised his chin and smiled, "Because I hate the ruthless way. I will stop anyone who practices the ruthless way."

So Fan Li was kicked out of the library.

Not only did he fail to obtain the martial arts, but he was also told that practicing the ruthless way would mean he would be at odds with Elder Ziwei, which was a heavy blow to Fan Li.

Fan Li looked up at the brightly lit library, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.

Since the open approach doesn’t work, it seems I can only do it secretly.

Elder Ziwei goes to Lingshan every month, and that will be her chance.

While thinking, Fan Li heard the familiar rustling sound again and paused.

Pretend not to hear and keep walking.

When the plush head saw Fan Li's figure disappearing around the corner, it quickly jumped out of the grass, stepped on the mud puddles, and chased after him nimbly.

But ended up losing track of him.

The little guy was a little annoyed and sniffed the ground again.

Suddenly, all four paws were in the air.

The orange cat bared its teeth, stretched its neck and howled.

Damn it! Who grabbed it by the scruff of the neck?

"It turns out to be a cat."

Fan Li was holding the skinny little cat, showing no interest and was about to let it go.

When the orange cat saw her, it immediately retracted its claws and when Fan Li was about to let go, it hugged her arm with its four legs.

"What are you doing? I don't have time to play with you." Fan Li shook his arms, but failed to get rid of them.

At this time, Wuxiang's voice sounded again.

"This is a spirit beast, quickly take out the fish eye and throw it to it!"

Fan Li was shocked. This kitten was actually a spirit beast?!

Sure enough, as soon as the fish eyes were taken out, the orange cat's eyes widened, with a greedy look on his face, and he meowed softly as if begging.

When Fan Li threw the fish eye into the air, the orange cat took the initiative to let go of her, picked up the fish eye and ran away without looking back.

Fan Li: “?”

No, just run away after getting the benefits?

Wuxiang said, "Don't worry, it will come back to you."

Hearing Wuxiang's voice, Fan Li withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The library was silent just now, but now it knows how to remind her.

Wu Xiang knew what she was thinking and said, "That elder is a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage. If I speak, she will immediately discover my presence."

Fan Li couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, does Elder Ziwei have a grudge against you..."

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Fan Li said "Oh".

Fan Li keenly noticed that Wuxiang, when referring to Elder Ziwei, rarely referred to himself as "this Lord".

But what shocked Fan Li even more was that Elder Ziwei was actually a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage. He had guessed that the other party was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.

Wuxiang: "The cat just now was a spiritual beast, the golden tiger. I sensed the aura of a divine beast on it. If I'm not mistaken, it must have the bloodline of the ancient divine beast, the white tiger, but it hasn't awakened yet."

Fan Li was extremely surprised.

That cat wasn't even as thick as her arm, yet it actually had the blood of an ancient mythical beast?!

"Your Excellency said that fish eyes are food for some spiritual beast. Is this spiritual beast the golden tiger?"

Wuxiang said "hmm".

He didn't expect that Fan Li would meet the golden tiger so soon. Logically, this spiritual beast shouldn't appear here.

Fan Li had the same doubt. How could an ownerless spirit beast run around in the Tianji Sect? He wondered if it had slipped out from the spirit beast garden?

But in her previous life, when she was doing odd jobs in the Spirit Beast Garden, she had never seen this spirit beast.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Fan Li stopped thinking about it.

Fan Li returned to the cave, his thoughts suddenly drifting away.

In her previous life, Song Xixi had contracted the beautiful and domineering Phoenix Black Bird. She was very envious, so Song Xixi invited her to ride it and see for herself.

As a result, the black bird suddenly attacked her and threw her into the mud. She looked in a miserable state, which caused everyone to burst into laughter. She felt very aggrieved and embarrassed.

Since then, Fan Li's greatest wish has been to have a spirit beast of her own. However, in her previous life, no spirit beast was willing to get close to her, let alone form a contract with her.

Will she have this chance this time? Fan Li felt a faint sense of anticipation.
