After leaving Youyue Valley, Shen Sanruo first led Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan to Linglong Pavilion to auction off some treasures to Li Qingwen.

Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan saw the crowd of cultivators coming and going in the market. The scene was both familiar and unfamiliar, and they couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

The two exchanged a glance, concealing their emotions, and focused their attention on Shen Sangruo, who was leading the way ahead of them.

The closer they got to Linglong Pavilion, the clearer the discussions about the "Ninghua Sect" became to their ears.

The two had previously thought they had misheard the mysterious and treasure-filled Ninghua Sect that everyone spoke of.

The two quickly connected the matter with Shen Sangruo, who had led them into the Linglong Pavilion.

Noticing their gazes, Shen Sanruo said nothing, but simply took the crystal card and entered the Linglong Pavilion.

This time she did not disguise herself or wear a veil, and she did not intend to disguise herself again.

With the reconstruction of Ninghua Sect imminent, as the young sect leader, she should make her appearance; there's no point in continuing to pretend.

Moreover, Linglong Pavilion is very good at keeping information secret, so naturally they will not spread this news.

Inside the secret chamber, Li Qingwen, who came to greet her, was slightly surprised when he saw her true appearance. He tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist Sanyou?"

“It’s me.” Shen Sangruo nodded in response. “The young sect master of Ninghua Sect, Shen Sangruo.”

Li Qingwen was slightly surprised; she was actually the young sect master of the mysterious Ninghua Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Sang Ruo," Li Qingwen said, bowing.

Then he introduced Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan to Li Qingwen, saying, "They are my eldest and third senior brothers."

Having spent many years in Linglong Pavilion and interacted with all sorts of people, Li Qingwen naturally understood why Shen Sangri suddenly revealed her true appearance to him.

He quickly suppressed the surprise in his eyes.

But why does the name "Chen Sangruo" sound so familiar?

But Li Qingwen didn't think much of it; for him, the most important thing at the moment was to discuss business with Shen Sangruo.

Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan watched as she efficiently completed the transaction with Li Qingwen.

He seemed very familiar with all the procedures and appeared to have made many transactions before.

They also gained a new perspective on their junior sister.

"This time, all the treasures will be auctioned in the name of Ninghua Sect, as per the old rules. Does Fellow Daoist Sang Ruo have any other requests?"

Hearing this, even though Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan had expected it, they couldn't help but be moved.

She actually used the magical artifacts and treasures they gave her to promote the existence of the Ninghua Sect.

"No, everything will be arranged by Fellow Daoist Li," Shen Sangruo said calmly.

After the transaction was completed, only Shen Sangruo and two others remained in the secret chamber.

Ye Huai then spoke, "When did you start planning this?"

They knew that Shen Sanruo was building momentum for the return of Ninghua Sect.

“After the third trip to Ninghua Sect,” Shen Sanruo said truthfully.

"But back then, you hadn't known us for very long, yet you decided to do all this for Ninghua Sect?" Bai Ruoan was stunned as she thought of that time.

It's important to know that at that time, Shen Sangruo hadn't even joined the Ninghua Sect yet.

She actually went to such lengths for a sect full of "old, weak, sick and disabled" people.

At this moment, she had become the young sect master of Ninghua Sect, something she had never imagined.

Perhaps this is her destined connection with Ninghua Sect.

Shen Sanruo nodded, her eyes filled with determination as she met their gaze.

A feeling suddenly arose in both of them, a feeling that carried a warm power, just like Shen Sangruo herself.

Finally, all the emotions gathered on her lips, turning into a single sentence: "Thank you, Sang Ruo."

She smiled and said, "I am the young sect master of Ninghua Sect, and this is what I should do. I will also hand over the spirit stones obtained from the auction to Sect Master Wuwei."

Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan were speechless.

They had never seen anyone as powerful and passionate as Shen Sangruo, who was like a burning flame.

Having such a junior sister is their good fortune.

The three of them walked out of Linglong Pavilion, talking to each other, preparing to go to the old site of Ninghua Sect.

Lu Shiqing turned around abruptly and saw the three of them walking side by side.

Shen Sanruo's casual remark, "Third Senior Brother," was like a sharp needle, piercing deep into his mind.

Before Lu Shiqing could think too much, the surging blood in his heart propelled him to rush in front of the three.

"Chen Sangruo!" His chest heaved violently, his bloodshot eyes like those of a wild beast out of control.

Almost instantly, Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan stood in front of Chen Sangruo, stopping this person who seemed so inexplicable to them.

Ye Huai drew his Shadow Sword, while Bai Ruoan held a talisman between her slender fingers. The two exuded an imposing aura as they squinted at Lu Shiqing.

They have adopted a defensive posture.

"Who are they?!" Lu Shiqing stared intently at Shen Sangruo behind them, his voice almost a roar.

Shen Sanruo raised an eyebrow slightly. With such strength to roar, had Lu Shiqing's Gu poison been cured?

He glared at Bai Ruoan, his eyes filled with intense hostility.

He wasn't mistaken; Shen Sangri had just called this person "Third Senior Brother"!

Why? By what right? He wouldn't allow her to call anyone else "Third Senior Brother"; her only Third Senior Brother could be him!

At this moment, Feng Heyun arrived with Bai Mumu.

When Feng Heyun saw the two people in front of her, she also looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

But he was much calmer than Lu Shiqing, and asked with a frown, "Shen Sangruo, who are they, and why are you standing with them?"

“Come over here quickly, these two don’t look like good people.”

Feng Heyun didn't hear clearly the word "Third Senior Brother".

So at this moment, all I want is for Chen Sangri to stay away from Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan.

Bai Mumu observed the three of them calmly, her expression seemingly showing some surprise.

But it quickly turned into anger; Feng Heyun and Lu Shiqing's emotions were so easily swayed by her.

What about all those strategies she used to compromise and beg for forgiveness?!

Both sides seemed to sense each other's hostility, their eyes clashing constantly, neither side backing down in the slightest.

The situation was extremely tense.

Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan had some guesses in their hearts.

These people in front of her are probably the same eccentric fellow disciples that Shen Sangruo had encountered before.

"Who are we?" Bai Ruoan chuckled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "We haven't even asked who you are yet, so what's the meaning of stopping us in the street like this?"

“We are…” Feng Heyun was about to answer, but for a moment he didn’t know how to describe their relationship with Chen Sangruo.

Finally, all I could manage to say was, "We are her closest friends and family. Do you know what close friends and family are? They're like family."

"We stopped you because we didn't want her to associate with some shady characters," Feng Heyun said sarcastically, a smirk playing on his lips.

In reality, anyone with eyes could see that Ye Huai and Bai Ruoan far surpassed him and Lu Shiqing in terms of demeanor and bearing.

The sudden appearance of these two people beside Shen Sangruo inexplicably stirred a sense of crisis in Feng Heyun's heart.
