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

Before Su Muqing could speak, Han Shouyu said, "I didn't mean to harm Xiaoqi. I didn't do it on purpose. I'm willing to compensate her!"

Ye Wushuang snorted coldly, "Did you hear that? This is a slap in the face followed by a sweet treat. You're so skilled at this. I see you've hit Fan Li a lot, haven't you?"

Han Shouyu immediately denied it: "I didn't, stop talking nonsense!"

This was the first time he hit Fan Li, it had never happened before.

He didn't know what happened to him just now. He couldn't control himself and attacked Fan Li, causing her to be injured.

Ye Wushuang didn't want to listen to his explanation. In her opinion, physical cultivators were all rude barbarians who would hit people when they got angry. Fan Li must have been bullied by him a lot.

Ye Wushuang’s idea was right.

During the practice of physical cultivation, the qi and blood are too strong, and the temper is inevitably irritable and angry. For this reason, every physical cultivator needs a suitable mental method to assist in practice.

The mental method that Han Shouyu practiced helped to stabilize his emotions. Moreover, he was a gentle and peaceful person, so he had the best temper among his senior brothers.

But for some unknown reason in his previous life, Han Shouyu's mental method seemed to have lost its effect, and he could no longer suppress the side effects brought by the technique. He became manic and irritable, as if he had turned into the most primitive beast.

The desire to kill is easily ignited, ferocious and dangerous.

In his previous life, Fan Li became his target and was often beaten until he was covered with scars and bruises.

When Han Shouyu went crazy, he didn't recognize anyone. Fan Li's blood was his stimulant. She was not able to escape from Han Shouyu's clutches until she hid outside the gate.

It was not until then that Fan Li realized that his former fourth senior brother would never come back.

This slap today seemed to bring Fan Li back to the days when he was tortured and beaten by Han Shouyu.

Ye Wushuang and Su Muqing were still arguing.

Su Muqing's face turned pale and he said, "Ye Wushuang, this is our Xuanji Peak's business and has nothing to do with your Lingxiao Peak!"

As he spoke, Su Muqing grabbed Fan Li's hand and said in a tone that brooked no argument: "Xiao Qi, come back with me."

Ye Wushuang also grabbed Fan Li's other hand and said, "Ignore them. He definitely has no good intentions."

Su Muqing was furious: "Ye Wushuang, I warn you not to sow discord here!"

Ye Wushuang said coldly: "I'm just stating the facts!"

"That's enough, stop arguing."

As soon as Fan Li opened her mouth, both of them stopped arguing and stared at her.

"Let me go."

Ye Wushuang let go of Fan Li as she was told. Su Muqing hesitated for a moment, then also let go, looking at her nervously.

Fan Li came in front of Han Shouyu, looked up at him, his eyes as dark and deep as a cold pond.

Han Shouyu was so nervous when she stared at him: "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

clap clap clap!

Three crisp and loud sounds.

Fan Li slapped him back personally.

She will no longer be as cowardly as she was in her previous life, allowing others to beat and scold her without fighting back. If Han Shouyu slaps her today, she will return the slap threefold. If Han Shouyu wants to bully her in the future, she will take his life!

After taking revenge on the spot, Fan Li gave Ye Wushuang a look and left.

Ye Wushuang was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He gave Su Muqing and others a cold look and hurriedly caught up with Fan Li.

Han Shouyu stood there, covering half of his face, without any temper at all.

Su Muqing felt very uncomfortable watching Fan Li and Ye Wushuang leave side by side.

Xiaoqi really doesn't want them anymore.

......

Xiao Yan poked his head out from behind Mei Nianzhi and couldn't help but sigh, "You can tell she's someone who won't suffer even the slightest loss. Are you sure she needs protection?"

Mei Nianzhi's face was unusually gloomy. He slowly turned the ring on his sleeve and whispered instructions in a low voice, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that was insignificant.

"Which hand of his injured her? She's useless."

Xiao Yan curved his eyes and replied, "Understood."

Two days later.

After everyone had rested, they set off for Lingyu Mountain.

Not long after, the group landed at the foot of the mountain on their swords.

There is a special thing about Lingyu Mountain, which is that you cannot fly a sword and can only walk.

Not only are you not allowed to fly with a sword, but anything that can fly, whether it is a spirit boat or a magic weapon, must be put away. Even an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage has to walk up.

Otherwise, the powerful restrictions of Lingyu Mountain will teach you how to behave.

Under the ancient prohibitions, all beings are equal, and there is not even a flying bird in the sky, which seems extremely empty.

Before they came, everyone had already learned about the peculiarities of Lingyu Mountain, and Su Muqing had repeatedly emphasized this issue. Now, everyone put away their swords and prepared to hike up the mountain.

Among the disciples all dressed in blue, there was an additional dark blue figure.

The young man was dressed in Miao clothes, had a handsome appearance, and was not carrying a sword. Walking among a group of neatly organized disciples, he looked particularly unique and hard to ignore.

The disciples all knew that this person's name was Xiao Yan, and that he was traveling with them.

The young man is a good friend of Master Mei. He does not follow any sect and is a casual cultivator. His cultivation level is in the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage and his strength is comparable to that of his senior brother Su Muqing.

Since he is Mr. Mei’s good friend, he is one of us.

One more person means more strength, especially since he is such a powerful monk, everyone accepted it with pleasure.

There are few such young Jindan cultivators among the independent cultivators. Xiao Yan's joining aroused the curiosity of many people, and they tried to find out about him through words both openly and covertly.

But this Miao boy seemed a little withdrawn. Apart from talking to Su Muqing for a few words, he basically ignored others and there was no chance for others to get close to him.

Everyone also discovered a strange phenomenon. The young man seemed to have been following Junior Sister Song intentionally or unintentionally, like a shadow.

Fan Li could probably guess why. It must be because Mei Nianzhi was worried about Song Xixi, so he sent someone to protect her.

In her previous life, Fan Li did not participate in the trip to Lingyu Mountain, so she did not know the details. She guessed that perhaps Xiao Yan had also appeared here in her previous life. On the surface, he went to the secret realm to gain experience, but in fact his mission was to be Song Xixi's patron saint.

Fan Li was not interested in Xiao Yan. She walked at the back of the team without looking around, and did not cast curious glances in Xiao Yan's direction like the others.

Therefore, she did not notice Song Xixi's slightly stiff posture.

Song Xixi was standing close to Su Muqing, feeling as if she was being watched by a poisonous snake. Xiao Yan's gaze gave her the illusion that she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, making her feel very uneasy.

Xiao Yan has a close relationship with Mei Nianzhi, which makes her think of Mei Nianzhi.

With her God's perspective, she naturally knew the relationship between Mei Nianzhi and Fan Li, and Mei Nianzhi was Fan Li's "opportunity"!

It’s still a great opportunity!

In the original plot, after Mei Nianzhi recognized Fan Li's identity, he began to plan for his sister's future. He decided early on that after his death, he would leave all the best things to his sister to pave the way for her.

It was with the gift of her brother that Fan Li rose to prominence, escaping danger many times. It could be said that Fan Li's final ascension to the upper realm was largely due to Mei Nianzhi's help.

How could Song Xixi let go of such a great opportunity? She was extremely envious.

But she didn't expect Mei Nianzhi to show up so early, and she didn't expect Mei Nianzhi to directly warn her in private, asking her to be law-abiding and not to covet things that didn't belong to her.

He also sent someone to keep an eye on her every move, and that person was Xiao Yan!

Song Xixi racked her brains but couldn't figure out where Mei Nianzhi's malice towards her came from. Was it because of Fan Li?

It shouldn't be.

According to the original plot, Mei Nianzhi doesn't know Fan Li's identity yet, so it can't be because of Fan Li.

Don’t covet things that don’t belong to her... This sentence lingered in Song Xixi’s mind like a curse.

Could it be that Mei Nianzhi discovered her secret? !
