Chapter 882: Advance by Retreat

etely disappeared from their lives.Wu Lianyi no longer paid attention to this bug. Even if the other party replaced its joints and came back, she could make it disabled again.With her mid-term report...The ripples' question was too straightforward, leaving Yun Ruibin momentarily unsure how to respond. At this moment, Du Le, who had been silent all along, spoke up:

"Master Qiao, it's all a misunderstanding. Since I entered the inner sect from the outer sect, I have never made an enemy of anyone, so..."

Du Leilei didn't make things entirely clear, but everyone understood her meaning. It was simply that the person who had been deliberately picking on others all along was only Qiao Lianyi, and now that something had happened to her, people would naturally suspect her.

With a sharp, piercing gaze, she scanned the other person, a cynical smile playing at the corner of her lips before she finally spoke:

“I admit, I did trip you up before because of my elder brother. But I never intended to harm your cultivation or take your life. I only wanted you to know your limits and withdraw, after all, I also have to consider my elder brother's face.”

"...I never expected that because of this, the two of you would join forces to set me up like this. Do you know how serious the accusation of harming fellow disciples is Even if this isn't handled well, my father could be implicated as well"

"Junior Sister, I don't..."

Yun Ru Bin had already felt his master's disapproving gaze, and immediately opened his mouth to explain, but Lian Yi didn't give him a chance at all:

"And the timing you two chose was excellent, picking a time when my father wasn't around. You couldn't even produce any substantial evidence. Senior brother, do you think that just by opening your mouth, I would listen to your arrangements and turn a major issue into a minor one"

I admire you, but I'm not stupid. Would I tarnish my reputation for harming fellow disciples just because of my feelings for you What would that make me as the head of our sect Protecting my own daughter and letting you continue to act as victims within the sect, smearing my name further

Du Li's face turned even uglier because Qiao Lianyi's words hit a nerve. She did want to step on the other person to make a good name for herself, and to bring their conflict to the surface. That way, if she ever got into trouble, everyone would immediately think of Qiao Lianyi.

Why would her admired senior brother not love her, and she, as the sect leader's daughter, made it so easy for people to trip her up Even if she didn't deliberately say anything, there were those who eagerly praised her every little thing. This way, she could stand invincible, gaining both sympathy from Senior Uncle Yun Ruibin and making some ordinary disciples into her allies.

Everything was going smoothly at first, as long as Qiao Lian's performance in front of everyone was fierce and unreasonable, even threatening to deal with them. Her goal was achieved, unfortunately, the other party did not follow the script.

Du LeLe was already unable to stand anymore, and immediately spoke up to help Yun RuBin out of the predicament:

"Master Qiao, everything is because of me. I am willing to go to the Cliff of Contemplation and repent."

She is preparing to yield in order to advance.

“You are the victim right now. If you were sent to the Cliff of Reflection, who knows what the disciples of the sect would think of me and my father A bully can't escape punishment! Even if you have to go to the Cliff of Reflection, it should be the eldest senior brother, after all, he was the one who filed a complaint with the sect without any evidence.”

After the ripple of her voice fell, Yun Ru Bin looked at her with disbelief, as if she had done something terrible.

The ripples did not shy away from the other's gaze, but looked straight into their eyes, the disappointment and heartache already spilling over.

"Senior Brother, ever since my mother passed away, you've been the one to raise me and teach me how to cultivate and navigate the world. You've always been by my side, accompanying me as I grew up. You're responsible for most of my progress in building my foundation. I believe we will continue this way until the very end, ascending to the Spirit Realm together."

But this time your beloved's cultivation regressed, and you unjustly blamed me without discerning right from wrong. I tried to explain that it wasn't me, but you didn't believe me. You don't believe me!

Liàn Yī spoke and spoke, until tears streamed down her face. All the elders in the hall had a variety of expressions, but none interrupted.

As cultivators, their senses were the most acute. They could feel that the ripples girl was truly wronged, even with a feeling of grief beyond compare, it seemed she had been hurt deeply by Yun Ruibin this time.

Yun Ru Bin was already somewhat regretful at this time, he should have been more careful. He knew very well that the hand behind Du Le Le's cave-dwelling was indeed Lian Yi's doing, and his junior sister obeyed him unconditionally, as long as he said it, she would admit her mistake. The only thing he didn't understand was why the other party refused to admit it this time. Could it really not be her

Yun Ru Bin completely ignored the Heavenly Oath Ripple had just sworn, always assuming that everything would develop as he envisioned.

Just in the blink of an eye, the ripples had wiped away the tears from her eyes. She directly bowed to everyone in the main hall and then spoke:

"I, Qiao Lianyi, today sever my ties with my fellow disciple, Yun Ruibin. I request to leave the Qiao Sect and join the Wuchong Dao to cultivate."

After finishing his speech, he sat down cross-legged and patted his dantian.

"Ripple!"

"No!"

"What a fiery temper this girl has!"

The nine elders above the main hall were all Yuan Ying cultivators, and Qiao Sect Master was also a Yuan Ying cultivator. They wanted to stop it, they should have been able to, but no one actually made a move.

Master Qiao understood his daughter's hint, while others thought that Liàn Yī was just putting on a show and might not actually do it. Some wanted to see the commotion, while others believed Master Qiao would definitely take action and therefore didn't bother. In the end, Liàn Yī dispelled her cultivation in front of everyone.

For a moment, Lian Ri's face paled, but she was only sixteen years old after all, so her appearance hadn't aged. She just lacked some of her former ethereal beauty, and her body had grown increasingly frail, becoming that of a relatively pure mortal.

Yun Ru Bin and Du Lele were truly shocked. One of them hadn't reacted yet, while the other had reacted but didn't make a move. Du Lele's cultivation had dropped to the third level of Qi Refining, what could she possibly do

After the ripples of her cultivation dissipated, her powerful soul began to summon the surrounding wind spirits. In a short time, she could have replenished her qi, but now was not the right moment. She had to finish the rest of her performance, so she suppressed the urge to draw in qi.

Ripples opened her eyes and turned to look at Yun Ru Bin. The admiration, helplessness, and heartache she once had were gone, replaced only by coldness:

"Immortal Cloud Fairy, my cultivation was guided by you. Today, I dissipate my cultivation, which also ends our karma. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. I wish you all the best and hope you achieve your wishes and ascend to the Spirit Realm soon."

After Lian Yi finished speaking, she looked at Du Luoluo again, still with no expression. The jealousy, resentment, and indignation she once felt towards her had vanished:

"Du Le, I have already paid the price for my past mistakes. From now on, let's clear our grievances."

After finishing, he bowed slightly.

What else could she say Whatever she said at this point would be wrong. She had only regressed in cultivation, while the other party had completely lost theirs. They had exposed their mistakes and paid a heavier price. If she continued to hold on, it would show that she was ungrateful and ignorant. Even if you don't consider the elders, not even the disciples of the sect would stand by her side.

Du LeLe could only awkwardly return the gesture with a bow, keeping quiet and lowering his presence.d me.”"Remember that place""I was taken there blindfolded, and when I left they also covered my head. I only remember the drive took about three hours, and the road was bumpy and uneven."The ripples p...
