At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

Seeing that Li Lan's every sentence revolved around borrowing spirit sand, Miao Chenfeng's lips twitched.

This kid is truly obsessed with money; how is he even more profit-driven than me, a merchant?

Anyway, the Azure Frost Moonflower is already gone, so no amount of sorrow can bring it back.

Miao Chenfeng was afraid that if the other party stayed any longer, he would have to give up even more things.

He quickly took out a few more low-grade Swift Steps talismans, and only then did he send this plague away.

Satisfied with leaving the Miao family's shop, Li Lan pondered in his heart.

How could he find out the true value of the fifteen-year-old Azure Frost Moonflower without revealing his identity?

Just then.

A figure stood in front of him, blocking his path.

Li Lan took a closer look; who else could it be but A'Hua?

At this time, A'Hua's face was ashen, and faint blue veins were visible on his forehead.

Clearly.

He was still brooding over what Li Lan had done before.

But currently, they were in the Guangji Temple.

Under the noses of many senior brothers and elders, A'Hua didn't dare to act out.

He could only glare fiercely at Li Lan with a pair of gloomy eyes.

The latter had climbed from the lowest level of the mortal world to where he was today.

He had long cultivated a resilient and steady character, and a calm and collected heart.

Directly ignoring the malice hidden in the other party's eyes, Li Lan feigned surprise and said:

"Senior Brother Hua? You're actually still alive?"

"I thought you had already encountered some misfortune; Junior Brother was just about to find those Lingxiao Sect rats to fight to the death, to avenge you."

"Now that I see you're alright, that's just great."

Li Lan's words, full of concern, sounded like mockery in A'Hua's ears.

To be honest.

If Elder Jianchen hadn't bestowed enough life-saving items, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back this time.

And all of this was thanks to the seemingly innocent young man in front of him.

Thinking of this.

A'Hua felt a surge of anger.

"Ding Sanquan is dead; you killed him in the Immortal Trace Valley!"

"You insidious and despicable villain!"

Li Lan heard this.

His face was full of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that his respected senior brother would say such things about him.

"I killed him? Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"

"Senior Brother asked me to separate and gather herbs; Junior Brother obediently complied."

"You used a sound transmission talisman to summon Junior Brother for support; Junior Brother didn't hesitate at all, dropping the task at hand to go."

"You asked Junior Brother to help you deal with that Qi Refining second-layer female cultivator; Junior Brother, despite his low strength, still mustered the courage to fight with his life."

"Later, seeing that the situation was critical, Junior Brother used himself as bait, drawing away four Lingxiao Sect cultivators for Senior Brother, almost losing his life on the spot."

"Junior Brother can pat his chest and say with a clear conscience that he has done everything he could."

"In the end, Senior Brother is actually blaming Junior Brother's shortcomings?"

This…

Li Lan's rapid-fire remarks left A'Hua speechless on the spot.

He wanted to refute, but after careful consideration, he was horrified to find that what the other party said was actually the truth.

This insidious and despicable fellow had taken all the advantages, and after the fact, he hadn't even left a trace!

The two of them confronting each other on the street immediately attracted many cultivators who came to watch the excitement.

Li Lan didn't give the other party too much time to think.

He continued to say with a face full of disbelief:

"Senior Brother Hua said that I was despicable and killed Ding Sanquan."

"Then I would like to ask Senior Brother, after Junior Brother risked his life to draw away the Lingxiao Sect cultivators, what exactly happened?"

"Wasn't Junior Brother Ding always by your side?"

"Why is it that you are fine, but he died instead?"

A'Hua really didn't expect it.

This young brat not only didn't feel any guilt, but he even dared to bite back.

Throwing dirty water on him.

A'Hua was furious, gnashing his teeth and saying:

"It's you! If you hadn't deserted, how could Ding Sanquan have died?"

Li Lan seemed to have been waiting for this sentence.

He immediately followed up with:

"Oh? Senior Brother Hua means that Junior Brother drawing away four Lingxiao Sect cultivators wasn't enough; I also had to take care of the remaining female cultivator, is that right?"

As soon as these words came out.

A chorus of tut-tut sounds immediately rang out around them.

After all, from the perspective of watching the excitement, A'Hua's request was indeed a bit too outrageous.

Asking a Qi Refining first-layer cultivator to deal with four people at the same time was already absurd enough.

He actually felt that the other party hadn't done well enough; it was truly incomprehensible.

Only A'Hua, as the person involved, knew that the truth was not like that.

He could clearly feel that Li Lan's behavior was very wrong, but he didn't know where to start.

After all.

That was all just his feeling.

Judging from his actions, Li Lan didn't seem to have done anything wrong.

He did draw away most of the Lingxiao Sect cultivators, reducing the pressure of being besieged.

The point that A'Hua really felt was wrong.

Was that the other party didn't even say hello before directly stealing such a valuable spiritual herb and running away without hesitation.

But it was meaningless to say this in public.

Because he couldn't prove what Li Lan's real purpose was in taking away the Moonflower.

A'Hua realized that he seemed to have been tricked again.

After the other party returned to Guangji Temple, he didn't return to his residence immediately.

Instead, he first chose to come to this crowded Qing Stone Square, which was definitely intentional.

Realizing this, A'Hua didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly changed the subject:

"Master Jianchen has ordered you to go and meet him immediately to report the results of this trip."

"Being eloquent is useless."

"Whether you have the heart to harm your fellow disciples, the master will naturally decide!"

Li Lan had expected this.

He said neither humble nor arrogant:

"Okay, I will go to Jianling Peak to meet the master now."

"Senior Brother Hua, please lead the way."

Li Lan had never been to Jianling Peak since he entered the sect.

He really didn't know which mountain his nominal master lived on.

After watching the excitement, the cultivators present were all a little unsatisfied.

Several cultivators with higher realms joked and said:

"Little Junior Brother, don't forget to come back and tell us the follow-up results."

"Don't worry, Guangji Temple is a famous and upright sect; as long as you are innocent, no one can wrong you!"

"Even Elder Jianchen can't slander someone's reputation out of thin air, right?"

"I think Little Junior Brother did the right thing!"

"Little Junior Brother, don't be afraid; if Elder Jianchen really dares to wrong you indiscriminately, we senior brothers present will all stand up for you!"

"Tsk tsk, in my opinion, Elder Jianchen is quite capable; he can really do such a thing. After all, how the Heavenly Spirit Root was taken by him is still inconclusive, isn't it?"

"Little Junior Brother, if I were you, I would abandon the darkness and turn to my Huoling Peak as soon as possible. My master is much more reliable than Elder Jianchen."

Since taking in the Heavenly Spirit Root a year ago.

Elder Jianchen had almost become the public enemy of all the outer elders in Guangji Temple.

His reputation in Guangji Temple had never been very good.

This could be seen from the sarcasm of the disciples of the various elders.

Listening to these nonsense words of those who were watching the excitement and not afraid of making trouble, A'Hua's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He quickly walked out of Qing Stone Square, just wanting to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Li Lan's face was as usual.

He lightly defended his master a few words, and then followed closely behind A'Hua.
