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

"Elder Wen, I want to exchange for a Bingxin Pill." Fan Li stood in front of the window and said to the elder inside.

Elder Wen's silver beard almost reached the ground. He sat on a tall chair like an ancient sculpture.

Elder Wen glanced at Fan Li through the window, then sat lazily, saying slowly, "Ice Heart Pills are used to treat internal injuries. They have a purifying effect, but using them on ordinary injuries is a waste of resources. Little girl, what injuries have you sustained? Are you sure they can be used?"

Fan Li pursed his lips slightly and whispered, "A few days ago, when I was reinforcing the seal, a trace of demonic energy accidentally entered my body. My realm is not high enough, so I can't force the demonic energy out of my body. I can only rely on the Ice Heart Pill to purify it."

Upon hearing this, the elder stretched his neck and looked at Fan Li carefully before recognizing her.

"So it's you, girl. You've never made a mistake in reinforcing the seal, so why were you so careless this time?"

Elder Wen turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and had no idea what had happened outside in the past few days.

Fan Li simply explained the unusual movement of the demonic energy, and Elder Wen's usually lazy expression immediately became serious. His pair of bean-sized eyes flashed with a strange light, without a trace of turbidity.

"And what happened next?" he asked.

Fan Li said, "I had suppressed the evil spirit at that time. Later, Master and the elders went to check on me and I think I'm fine."

Elder Wen stroked his beard and said, "Is that so?"

He squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. He raised his hand to summon a booklet and flipped through it.

After a moment, Elder Wen closed the booklet, but did not hand the Ice Heart Pill to Fan Li.

"Girl, your merit is less than 200, and the Ice Heart Pill costs 3,800. I'm sorry I can't give it to you."

Fan Li was slightly stunned: "How could it be?"

Her merits should conservatively be no less than three thousand, so how come it's less than two hundred?!

Could it be that Elder Wen is confused again?

As if he could read Fan Li's mind, Elder Wen puffed his beard and glared, "I'm not confused! And you've already received the Ice Heart Pill, just the day before yesterday!"

Fan Li said calmly, "Elder, you must be mistaken. The day before yesterday, after being punished in the Discipline Hall, I was rushed to kneel outside the sect's main hall. I knelt there until yesterday and had no time to spare."

Elder Wen was stunned for a moment: "What trouble have you gotten yourself into again, little girl? Didn't your master save you this time?"

Fan Li's face was bitter, and he didn't want to mention it again: "Elder, please think about it carefully. The Ice Heart Pill is very important to me."

Elder Wen thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly caught sight of someone. He then raised his finger and pointed at that person, saying, "I remember now. It was that kid who took the Ice Heart Pill for you!"

Fan Li was stunned, and followed the direction pointed by Elder Wen, and finally his eyes fell on his second senior brother Gu Xingyuan.

Elder Wen recalled, "At that time, he said that you were plagued by demonic energy and bedridden. He urgently needed an Ice Heart Pill, so he came to me to ask for it. I also deducted your merits."

"I knew he was the young master of Baicaotang and had no shortage of rare elixirs. I also knew he was your senior brother and that you two had a close relationship. Seeing that he was so anxious that his face turned red, I didn't think he was faking it, so I gave it to him."

"Oh, by the way, that's the last Ice Heart Pill in the warehouse."

Upon hearing this, Fan Li almost spat out a mouthful of Ling Xiao's blood.

When Elder Wen was confused, he was truly confused. When he was smart, he was smarter than anyone else. He immediately reacted, narrowed his eyes and said, "Why, that kid didn't use the Ice Heart Pill on you? How dare he fool me!"

Elder Wen slammed the table and stood up.

"Girl, I'll take care of it for you right now. I'll make sure he returns the Ice Heart Pill to you!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Wen. I won't bother you any more." Fan Li said with a wry smile, "The Ice Heart Pill must have fallen into someone else's hands. I can't get it back."

Elder Wen subconsciously asked, "Whose mouth did it fall into? Did he eat it?"

Fan Li shook his head. Even Elder Wen couldn't afford to offend this person, so as to avoid offending the head of the sect.

Fan Li didn't want to drag Elder Wen into this. With an idea in mind, he bowed to him and said, "Thank you for your advice, Elder. I will handle this matter myself."

After saying that, she turned around resolutely and walked out with big strides.

After being reborn, Fan Li almost forgot about this incident.

In her previous life, Gu Xingyuan used her merits to exchange for the last Ice Heart Pill without saying hello, and used it on Song Xixi. He was afraid that she would cause trouble for Song Xixi, so he lied to her that he used it on himself.

She always trusted her senior brothers, so she did not become suspicious, nor did she ask any further questions, nor did she ask Gu Xingyuan to return it.

Of course, Gu Xingyuan was not prepared to return it.

Because she was afraid that her fellow brothers would worry, she concealed the fact that she had demonic energy in her body and endured it all by herself.

The price I paid was that I was haunted by nightmares every night for several months, and I began to become irritable, timid, and sensitive.

In the eyes of others, she was like an emotionally unstable lunatic. She made many mistakes during that period. Later, her master broke four ribs and locked her in a snake cave for reflection.

She was locked up for three months without seeing the sun, so much so that she is now very afraid of snakes.

After a long time, Song Xixi deliberately mentioned the Bingxin Pill, and she finally knew the truth.

In a rage, she broke off all ties with Gu Xingyuan. However, although it was clearly his fault, bystanders accused her of being unreasonable and petty.

No one stood on her side, including the eldest brother.

Fan Li always thought that the three months in the snake cave were the darkest time in her life, but it turned out that she was wrong. The world outside was the real darkness.

"Hey girl——" Elder Wen failed to call her.

Gu Xingyuan and Shen Ronglai handed in their tasks and were about to leave when they suddenly heard Fan Li calling from behind.

"Second Brother, why would you exchange my merits for the Ice Heart Pill?"

Gu Xingyuan's eyes evaded a bit when he heard this. When he turned around again, he said with a smile, "So that's what it is. I was just thinking about how to tell you. I used the Ice Heart Pill on myself. Xiao Qi shouldn't hold it against Senior Brother, right?"

Fan Li said coldly, "Stop smiling at me! Have you asked me? Why are you acting on your own?"

Gu Xingyuan didn't expect Fan Li to be so angry.

She didn't even care about the Baicao Pill, so why would a mere Bingxin Pill make her so angry? That's a bit too petty.

Fan Li's Frost Sword suddenly came across, and Gu Xingyuan was shocked.

Shen Rong scolded: "Fan Li, do you know what you are doing?"

Fan Li also yelled back: "It has nothing to do with you, shut up!"

"You!" Shen Rong widened his eyes.

Fan Li didn't even look at him, but stared at Gu Xingyuan with a frosty expression: "Second Brother, do you think I'm stupid? You haven't even been to the Demon Sealing Platform, how could you be infected with demonic energy?"

Gu Xingyuan knew that his lie was full of loopholes, so he said awkwardly, "There are so many people around here, if we have anything to say, let's go back and talk behind closed doors, okay, dear."

Fan Li naturally wouldn't agree to his request and pressed him, "Second Senior Brother, you used the Ice Heart Pill on Song Xixi, didn't you?!"

Gu Xingyuan didn't know how Fan Li knew this, but he had to admit it and nodded slowly.

The disciples around were already shocked when they learned that Gu Xingyuan had misappropriated Fan Li's merits. When they heard that it was used on Song Xixi, their expressions varied.

Senior Brother Gu is so wicked.

Fan Li put away his sword: "Just admit it."

Shen Rong also knew about this matter. He couldn't stand Fan Li's aggressive look and couldn't help but say:

"Song Xixi is also your junior sister. What's wrong with using your merits to save her? I just didn't say hello to you. I didn't expect you to have no care for your junior sister at all! How disappointing!"

Gu Xingyuan agreed with this statement.

He still hasn't realized what he did was wrong.

Junior sister is delicate and weak, not as tough and thick-skinned as Fan Li. Moreover, Fan Li has a special physique and will not be targeted by evil spirits, so he does not need the Ice Heart Pill at all.

Since she doesn't need the Bingxin Pill, why not give it to someone who needs it?

What Gu Xingyuan thought was also what Shen Rong thought.

"Third Senior Brother." Fan Li turned to look at Shen Rong and taunted him, "Three thousand eight hundred merits, you really are talking without any hesitation. You love her so much, why don't you use your own merits?"

One by one, they all took advantage of her. She was quite skilled at outsourcing love.

Gu Xingyuan interrupted: "Xiao Qi, you were obviously not like this before. Back then, you often climbed the mountains to pick spiritual herbs for your junior sister..."

"Don't mention the past to me!" Fan Li said impatiently.

Fan Li gets angry when talking about this matter.

At that time, she had no idea that the herbs she risked her life to pick were all for Song Xixi. It was because her master said that he was injured while subduing demons outside that she ran to dangerous places at all costs to dig out elixirs with her bare hands, and she always came back covered in wounds.

As a result, all these tonics became nutrients to nourish Song Xixi's body. It can be said that the reason why Song Xixi was able to walk out of the Treasure Pavilion was all thanks to her, Fan Li!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration for her to be so grateful that Song Xixi knelt down to her!

Gu Xingyuan felt embarrassed enough. He finally begged, "Xiao Qi, please don't tell my senior brother about this. Just forget about it."

Shen Rong said coldly, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? She owes Junior Sister this."

Gu Xingyuan: "Third brother, please stop causing trouble!"

Speak of Cao Cao, here he comes! A woman’s pretentious voice came from the sky.

"Seventh Senior Sister, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time!"
