Although Mu Xiaoting said that Mu Qi was in seclusion these days, Ning Huaishu went to Mu Qi's residence early the next morning. He couldn't tell what he wanted to do, but he couldn't see Mu Qi for many days. I felt a little unspeakable uneasiness.

"Brother?"

Ning Huaishu heard something moving in the room and felt that Mu Qi should be inside. Perhaps the retreat had ended?
He called a few more times, "Senior brother? I am Huai Shu."

After a while, Mu Qi's voice came from inside. I don't know whether it was due to his unstable mood or damaged cultivation, but his voice was deeper than before, which made Ning Huaishu's heart skip a beat.

"What's the matter?"

Ning Huaishu frowned. He should have felt relieved when he heard Mu Qi's voice, but he felt weird everywhere. With Mu Qi's character, how could he be willing to stay in seclusion at this time?

He suppressed his doubts and recounted yesterday's trip to Xubao Pavilion from beginning to end, "...Nangonghe is still observing whether there are any changes in the breath-discriminating ruler. I will inform you if there are any results."

After another long while, there was a deep response from inside.

Ning Huaishu left with lingering uneasiness in his heart, and bumped into a group of junior brothers who were looking for Ruan Li together. His eyelids twitched, and he stepped forward to stop them, "What are you looking for Ruan Li for?"

He is now deeply aware of the reckless character of his junior brothers, who are easily instigated by others, and as Ruan Li said, there may still be some shameful jealousy in their hearts. Ning Huaishu really doesn't want to see Penglai again. The disciple had a conflict with Ruan Li. Ruan Li was no longer from Penglai, and he didn't want her last bit of goodwill towards Penglai to disappear.

The disciples who were stopped by him lowered their heads and said very sincerely, "Let's go apologize to Ruan Li... we misunderstood her yesterday and said so many bad things."

Ning Huaishu looked at the faces immersed in regret, with a look of struggle in his eyes. He was not sure whether he should let Ruan Li see them again. Is their apology really useful?
Could it be... too late?

However, these disciples had already made their decision. They thought they should apologize if they did something wrong. There was nothing to hesitate about. They took Ning Huaishu's momentary silence as acquiescence and happily went to Ruan Li's residence. Ning Huaishu was worried. Then he followed him.

No one has touched Ruan Li's residence, but the flowers and plants outside the backyard she left have been left unattended and have long since withered. The disciples did not notice this and were still talking in low voices.

"Junior sister Ruan Li still lives here after she comes back. She must also miss her disciples in Penglai, right?"

"If we apologize to her, do you think Ruan Li will be willing to return to Penglai?"

The disciple who was walking at the front suddenly stopped, causing the people following him to stop one by one, looking forward inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

The disciple said blankly, "There is a barrier outside this courtyard."

Some people wonder, "Why should a good person set up a barrier?"

Moreover, the barrier was set up so tightly that they were blocked from the outside and could not enter at all, nor could they detect any fluctuations in spiritual power inside.

Someone among the disciples whispered, "Could it be that they don't want to see us and are deliberately blocking us out?"

Ning Huaishu frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The disciples fell silent for a moment, but they had already started to have random suspicions in their hearts. Some people couldn't help but feel confused and aggrieved. They felt that even though they eagerly came over to apologize, they still received a rejection. It really shouldn't have happened.

If Yue Man were here, he would definitely spit rudely, point in their faces and scold them for being sentimental.

But at this moment, Yue Man was pacing back and forth in Ruan Li's room with heartache, "Why not?"

Nangong He and Luo Sheng also stayed in the room with solemn expressions, looking at the person sitting cross-legged on the bed with their eyes closed.They were called by Wei Min early in the morning to protect Ruan Li. Only then did they realize that Ruan Li was tired these days because he was about to advance to the next level. After cultivating to the Luan realm, every level he advanced was extremely difficult. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted, and you may run the risk of going astray.

But Ruan Li has been in meditation for almost two hours. The spiritual energy around her fluctuates and stops. She keeps wandering back and forth at the threshold. She is just one step away from breaking through, which is worrying.

Among them, only Wei Min was as calm as ever. His calmness was not due to lack of concern, but because he had sufficient understanding and confidence in Ruan Li. Before this, he himself did not know that he could still be so patient.

Perhaps infected by his calmness, several people quickly became quiet, but Yue Man didn't stay quiet for long before he said he wanted to go out and take a look.

She frowned and said, "There are a lot of people outside."

The barrier was set up by Wei Min to prevent unrelated people from coming to cause trouble. It was set up several levels in a row. According to Wei Min's intention, he wanted to hide the news about Ruan Li's promotion first, but he might not be able to hide it.

She walked out and took a look, and she saw a bunch of Penglai disciples who were blocked by the barrier and were muttering. Some wanted to retreat, but more people were stubborn and insisted on seeing Ruan Li.

Yue Man said impatiently, "What do you want to do?"

She looked sarcastic, "What other mean words do you want to say?"

Ruan Li was right. These people were so hostile to her not necessarily because of Bai Qianqian, but more because they felt jealous. After all, they were the ones who laughed at Ruan Li when they were in Penglai. Suddenly, their positions changed. They were both jealous and jealous. Not willing to give in, I can only take advantage of it verbally.

Thinking of this, Yue Man couldn't even get angry. Just like Ruan Li said, this scene would only make people feel ridiculous.

Her tone was sarcastic, which made the disciples a little unhappy, but thinking of the purpose of her visit, she controlled her temper and said firmly, "We are here to apologize to Ruan Li."

It's time to let them in now.

Yue Man was surprised, as if he had heard a joke, "Apologise? You don't think that just saying sorry can erase everything, do you?"

The disciples felt inexplicably guilty when she saw her, and that was indeed what they thought. Otherwise, what else would they want if they had already apologized?

Yue Man sneered, "Wishful thinking."

As soon as she finished speaking, before the disciples had time to refute, they noticed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual power in the barrier, which was not blocked by several layers of barriers.

The meaning of this kind of spiritual power fluctuation couldn't be clearer.

Someone lowered their voice in surprise, "Someone has been promoted, is it Ruan Li?"

"Ruan Li has already entered the Luan realm, and he has even been promoted..."

Why is it so easy for people to upgrade to a higher level?

Yue Man felt happy and immediately relaxed, casting a few disdainful looks at them, "There's no need to apologize, don't bother me."

I really thought that a few words of admitting my mistake could erase everything. How could such a good thing happen? (End of chapter)
