An hour later, Xiao Yi and the other two met Pei Yuanliang.

"Ran Ran."

Pei Yuanliang's eyes lit up.

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes in his heart. Why did this name sound like asking for trouble? The injury was too minor.

"Brother, weren't you all locked up? How did you get out and find me?"

Ji Ranran stepped forward and asked.

"Junior sister, what's wrong with your face..."

Pei Yuanliang was very surprised when he saw Ji Ranran's face clearly, especially the birthmark which had faded in color.

"I'm fine. How is Master?"

Ji Ranran looked anxious.

Speaking of which, although Pei Yuanliang and the others knew that she had a birthmark, no one knew about her evil blood and cold body.

The main reason was that she didn't react strongly in the first few years, and later on her master was there, so no one knew about it.

"Master, he..."

Pei Yuanliang looked grief-stricken.

"cough……"

"Senior brother..."

Ji Ranran subconsciously patted Pei Yuanliang on the back, but when she thought of Xiao Yi being there, she hurriedly kept some distance.

"Ran Ran, I'm afraid no one can save Master... before I come out..."

Pei Yuanliang was in tears and was about to continue, but when he noticed Xiao Yi and the others, he stopped talking.

"Big Brother, you are right. Xiao Yi is my fiancé, and they are all people I can trust."

Ji Ranran said directly.

"Ran Ran, where on earth did your fiancé come from?"

Pei Yuanliang frowned.

"Can we talk business first?"

Xiao Yi said unhappily.

Pei Yuanliang hesitated for a moment, and had to get back to the point: "You also know Master's temper. He will never give in, so now... he has been tortured into a useless person..."

"Brother, do you also think that Master would do something like that?"

Ji Ranran frowned.

"I... I don't believe it. The evidence is all there. Even if Master is fine, what about those uncles? Maybe the problem lies with them!"

Pei Yuanliang said.

"It must be Cai Chen! He was the one who chased me the day before yesterday!"

Ji Ranran affirmed.

"Cai Chen?"

Pei Yuanliang's eyes narrowed.

"That's right! I believe that the uncles and the others follow the master every day and will never have any other intentions. Brother, let's go and ask Uncle Cui Yan for help. I was able to escape a few days ago thanks to him..."

Ji Ranran still wanted to place her hopes on Cui Yan.

"It's useless, Ranran, why don't you understand that Master Cui is only trying to protect himself right now and will never bring disaster upon himself.

In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, but he knows that there is no other way. It is said that my junior brother and I are fine because of his mediation…”

Pei Yuanliang continued.

"So how did you get hurt?"

Xiao Yi was confused.

"I was being chased by someone on my way to find my junior sister. So... it must have been Cai Chen who sent someone to do it!"

Pei Yuanliang affirmed.

"If this continues... Master will definitely be wrongly accused..."

Ji Ranran's expression changed, and she became even more anxious.

"Ran Ran, how about... you go back and persuade Master. Master treats you best on weekdays, and she will definitely listen to you."

Pei Yuanliang said.

"Persuade Master...what?"

Ji Ranran's expression darkened.

"Persuade him to admit that the evidence is true? Ask Lord Que to be lenient with him?"

"Master has worked hard and made great contributions. If...if we put the blame on those uncles, Master Que will definitely spare his life."

Pei Yuanliang said seriously.

"Big Brother!"

Ji Ranran frowned even more tightly.

"Why should they admit it if it wasn't their doing?"

"Do you think I don't want to believe that they are all innocent? If I were the uncle, I would definitely stand up and take the responsibility. If my death can save the master, I will never back down!"

Pei Yuanliang's voice rose a few notches.

"Ran Ran, you should know that Master treats you better than any of us. Right now, the one who can keep Master alive is not Uncle Cui, but you! The fellow apprentices are all looking forward to your return! They hope that Master will survive!"

"I……"

Ji Ranran paused, her mind a little confused.

"Ran Ran."

Xiao Yi comforted him softly.

Although he did not agree with Pei Yuanliang's words, he still admired his courage.

"Of course I have to go back! I have to find out the mastermind behind this, Cai Chen, but I don't want Master and the others to admit to something they didn't do!"

After a while, Ji Ranran spoke again.

"you……"

Pei Yuanliang sighed.

"You know Cai Chen's status in the sect. You and I alone can't shake him at all."

"What if you add me in?"

Xiao Yi spoke.

"you?"

Pei Yuanliang was very disdainful.

"Who do you think you are, you..."

"And my entire Xuanyuan clan!"

Xuanyuan Tiezhu said in a deep voice, and had been listening nearby.

"It's useless. This is our sect's internal matter. Outsiders cannot interfere."

Pei Yuanliang shook his head.

"I am Ranran's fiancé, so I am not an outsider."

Xiao Yi looked indifferent.

Pei Yuanliang's heart moved. Where did this guy get the confidence from?

"By the way, Ranran, did your master give you anything before you left the mountain?"

Pei Yuanliang thought of something and asked.

"Tian Qian Pearl."

Ji Ranran said.

"Tian Qian Pearl...what is that?"

Pei Yuanliang frowned slightly.

"Did he say anything else?"

"It's a spiritual material for refining weapons. He didn't tell me anything, just told me to keep it carefully and didn't let me..."

Ji Ranran paused and glanced at Xiao Yi out of the corner of her eye.

"Don't let me hand it over to anyone."

"Well, since Master said so, he must have his own intentions."

Pei Yuanliang responded.

"Can you let me see it?"

Ji Ranran didn't think much about it, and the Tiangan Pearl flashed in her hand and handed it to Pei Yuanliang.

Pei Yuanliang looked at it carefully, and placed his spiritual sense on it, feeling something.

"It should only be able to repair some artifacts, or top-level artifacts."

Ji Ranran spoke again.

"You are wrong, Ranran. This bead... let alone a top-level artifact, I'm afraid even one of the top ten artifacts can be repaired with it!"

After a while, Pei Yuanliang's tone changed and he was extremely shocked.

Ji Ranran blinked her beautiful eyes, quite surprised by Pei Yuanliang's words, and glanced at Xiao Yi again.

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed. This guy really has a good eye and hits the point directly.

"You must listen to the Master and don't give it to anyone, no matter how close they are..."

Pei Yuanliang returned the Tiangan Pearl to Ji Ranran and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's face was filled with black lines. What the hell does this look mean? Do you believe that I will kick you out now?

"I know."

Ji Ranran responded and put away the Tiangan Pearl.

After chatting for a few more sentences, it was getting late, so Ji Ranran told Pei Yuanliang to take good care of his wounds, and then they left the room.

Not long after, Xiao Yi and Ji Ranran returned to their bedroom.

"It seems that you didn't have a deep enough understanding of the Tiangan Pearl at the beginning."

Xiao Yi said casually.

"what?"

Ji Ranran, who had lost her mind, came back to her senses.

"Yes, Master didn't tell me much at the time, but even if it is an ordinary bead, it means a lot to me."

"It seems that you really trust me and left it with me at that time."

Xiao Yi said slowly.

"You...I didn't misjudge you."

Ji Ranran said softly.

"I really had no choice at the time. I just wanted to try my best to get the opportunity at Baiyue Lake and go back to save Master. That was more important than anything else."

"Um……"

Xiao Yi responded.
