Chapter 883: Beneficiaries

. Any progress on your end Have you found anything"There are some leads now. It seems the source river of life that Jian Shengzhu previously merged with has caused problems. After all, it wasn't somet...This tactic of hers, feigning retreat to advance, was conceived when she was at the Cliff of Contemplation. After all, she was currently on the back foot and didn't want to be trampled upon to gain power. She needed to extricate herself as quickly as possible, preferably with a swift and decisive solution.

Not only could she regain her reputation, but she could also spare her father from embarrassment. It also gave her a legitimate excuse to abandon her cultivation and, in the future, when she switched to cultivating wind-based techniques, she would have another trump card. After all, wood affinity and wind affinity are very different, and currently, perhaps only Yun Ruibin knows this.

Qiao QianShan's figure flashed, arriving beside LianRi. He didn't say a word, only feeding her a pill before speaking:

"Ripple, you're too impulsive."

Ripple said nothing, only shook his head.

The master Qiao turned his head and said to Elder Xiao of the Enforcement Hall:

"Elder Xiao, the rest is up to you. I believe you will handle it fairly. I'll take Ripple back first."

After finishing his words, he took Ripple's hand and disappeared into the great hall.

Elder Xiao coughed softly, and transmitted two words to Elder Shang, who was stunningly beautiful and alluring beside him. Then he spoke:

The disciple of the sect, Yun Ruibin, unjustly accused Qiao Lianyi without any evidence, basing his judgment solely on speculation. He sentenced her to five years of reflection at Si Gu Cliff, facing the wall in contemplation.

Dulu's cultivation regress wasn't caused by Qiao Lianyi. Because there was a loophole in the foundation establishment cave, his foundation establishment failed. As compensation, he will receive 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones, one foundation establishment pill, and one free use of the foundation establishment cave.

Do you two have any objections

"The disciple had no objection."

Yun Ruibin lowered his head in a salute, trying his best to conceal the strangeness in his expression. Unfortunately, everyone in the main hall was shrewd and discerning. Though he spoke calmly and appeared resigned, the unwillingness in his eyes did not escape their notice.

For such a Yun Ru Bin, all the elders have a new understanding, and they feel that the Sect Master doesn't know people well. He carefully selected such a great disciple, which is quite a failure. Fortunately, they didn't choose this person back then.

By contrast, Du Lele is much more subdued; after all, she's the victim, and considering what happened today, she's the only beneficiary.

Qiao Lianyi's cultivation was gone, and there was a gap between the two of them. She would no longer be a stumbling block between her and Yun Ruibin's master-disciple relationship. With the spirit stone she obtained, she could recover her cultivation as soon as possible. With the foundation-building pill and the free use of the cave dwelling, she believed that within a year at most, she could rebuild her foundation.

The disciple had no objections.

Du led bowed respectfully and then obediently exited the hall. Immediately, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall took her to the Affairs Hall to receive compensation.

While Yun Ru Bin didn't have such good luck. Elder Xiao, with a flick of his sleeve, sent the Jindan stage Yun Ru Bin directly to Si Gu Cliff and placed a restriction on him. Until the time limit was up, he couldn't take a step outside Si Gu Cliff.

Only after everyone else had left did Elder Shang speak.

“That Du Le’le is no good. He single-handedly drove a wedge between his fellow disciples who grew up together, and he even sowed discord between Yun Ruibin and Qianshan's master-disciple relationship. Now Qianshan wants to kill Yun Ruibin.”

"Wow, you weren't kidding. It really is like that. People who are fine can still build their foundations smoothly even with compensation."

"Look for an opportunity to expel her from the sect"

"Elder Xiao, as a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, what excuse do you think is suitable for expelling someone from the sect"

Elder Shang narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

"Haha, you're right. There's no suitable excuse now, those young disciples will definitely speak up for her."

Elder Xiao shook his head.

"What's so difficult about that There are plenty of smart people in the world. Once today's events spread, naturally, there will be those who understand. Sometimes, ignorance is more effective than tripping someone up."

Elder Shang chuckled and said.

Before she attained enlightenment, she was just a maidservant by the side of a wealthy young lady. She had seen this sort of drama many times before.

Under the elders' tacit approval, once all had left the council hall, messages flew out like messengers. In less than an hour, the uproar surrounding Qiao Lianyi's alleged harm to her fellow disciples took a sharp turn. And in the end, it was Du Le who ended up laughing.

"I didn't expect Master Yun to be so devoted. He even gave up on his own junior sister for the woman he loved"

"I think he was trying to do good for his sweetheart and took the opportunity to make a point. After all, who asked Qiao Lianyi to bully his sweetheart"

Although Qiao Lianyi is the Sect Leader's daughter, she basically never left the Sect Leader's Peak before she built her foundation, and she never bullied us. It was only after Du Le'le entered the Inner Sect and had dealings with Uncle Yun that she started causing trouble for Du Le'le. However, she didn't cause anyone to lose their lives.

"You make a good point. I also noticed that Du Ledu's foundation building failed, and his cultivation level only remained at the tenth layer of Qi refining. How could he regress for no reason Don't you think so"

"Stop guessing. Qiao Lianyi even made a heavenly oath, and the thunder didn't strike her down. This proves she didn't do it. I suspect Du might have staged this whole thing as a ploy for sympathy."

"You make sense, I guess."

Those who can enter the sect to cultivate are not truly stupid. When they gather together and analyze, the final conclusion is that they should stay away from Du Li from now on. They don't want to become her stepping stones, nor do they want to be used by her. Look, even the Sect Leader's daughter was forced to self-disable her cultivation!

Du Li is currently in her cave dwelling, absorbing spirit stones. She wants to recover her cultivation as quickly as possible and build her foundation soon after. Then, she will accept a mission from the sect and leave for a while. After everything calms down, she will return to the sect with higher cultivation. At that time, no one will mention this matter again. For this reason, she is even considering giving up the opportunity to enter the Yuntian Secret Realm.

The idea was good, but when she rebuilt her foundation successfully a year later and went to collect a sect mission, she couldn't even find a temporary teammate from the same sect. She clearly felt everyone's distance, and after half a day of inquiries, she learned the reason and hated Qiao Lianyi even more, regretting that she hadn't seized her luck in the beginning.

The ripples on the other side were brought back to the cave by Qiao Qianshan. After the medicinal properties subsided, they opened their eyes and looked into their father's eyes, filled with affection.

"Ripple, back then on the main hall, why wouldn't you let me make a move"

"Daddy, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Ripples smiled weakly, then continued:

"Before that, please test my spiritual roots again."

Joe Qianshan didn't react for a moment, not understanding what his daughter meant. But seeing her insistence, he wiped his storage ring and took out a disc.

Lien Ri took a deep breath, gently placed her hand on the orb in the center of the disk, and then the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth elements surrounding the disk all lit up one by one, finally extinguished. Then, on the orb under Lien Ri's hand, purple, cyan, and white flashed, and finally cyan dominated the entire orb, even forming a cyan beam that spread outward towards the cave.

Qiao Qiushan's expression changed. He pinched a spell in his hand, opening a barrier that intercepted the beam of light inside the cave dwelling. Then, he said in astonishment:

"Ripples, you are a wind spirit root!"

"Yes, Father!"
