After careful consideration, Master Lingxiao's mind began to shift, and he made a decision.

Emotions are important; he must help her find them again, and he cannot tolerate his skills being inferior to others.

Moreover, if Shen Sang were to return to Zhenlin Peak and become his disciple again, how could he possibly learn other people's techniques?

Therefore, he still planned to have her start cultivating the Profound Fire True Dragon Technique again, enduring the pain to remove the cultivation method she was currently practicing.

He would do everything in his power to ensure the removal process went smoothly and minimize her suffering, as a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one.

He promised that this was the last time he would make her suffer, and that he would protect her from any harm afterward.

"Master, Master?"

Feng Heyun's call brought Lingxiao Zhenren back to his senses.

"Master, what are you thinking about?"

"I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just trying to figure out a way to win back Sang Ruo's feelings."

The strange look in Lingxiao Zhenren's expression quickly disappeared, and he returned to his usual aloof demeanor.

He didn't want to reveal the Mysterious Fire True Dragon Technique; if he did, they would surely despise his actions.

But he had no other choice; he could only do this, and none of them understood him.

Seeing that Feng Heyun still wanted to ask more questions, Master Lingxiao quickly changed the subject, "How did you discover that her emotions had been detached? And how did you know the method to regain those emotions?"

Now it was Feng Heyun and Lu Shiqing's turn to look uneasy.

They couldn't possibly say that they obtained the information by exchanging it with the remnant soul of that evil cultivator, the Master of the Guantian Pavilion, could they?

With Bai Mumu already a stain on the Flying Cloud Sect, Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren deeply hate evil cultivators and demons.

If they were to reveal this, they would be expelled from the sect on the spot.

This matter must be kept to yourself!

“I used the Seven Emotions Gu and the Love-Awakening Gu on her, but she didn’t react. So I guessed that her emotions might have been extracted,” Lu Shiqing said calmly. “Her feelings for us are so deep, it’s impossible for her to disappear for no reason.”

Feng Heyun picked up where he left off and continued, "Later, we went to the library to look through the books and finally found a way to regain our feelings in an ancient book."

"We looked at those ancient books and put them back. We can't remember which one it was, but the method to regain our feelings must be the right one."

Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen looked suspicious. Seeing how confident the two spoke, they had doubts but did not think of evil spirits or evil cultivators.

For them, the most important thing is finding a way to rekindle their emotions; as for where they got that method from, they don't need to delve into that.

Shen Daochen was about to turn and leave when he suddenly remembered what Lu Shiqing had just said, and a surge of anger rose in his heart again.

He roared at Lu Shiqing, "What did you say? It's one thing that you've used the Seven Emotions Gu on her multiple times, but you even dared to use the Emotion-Calling Gu on her!"

Snap!

A sharp crack echoed in everyone's ears, demonstrating the force with which Shen Daochen had struck.

A bright red five-finger mark immediately appeared on Lu Shiqing's face after he was slapped to the side.

His gaze was fierce, and his tone seemed defiant, "Is it wrong for me to just want to confirm her feelings for me?"

"Her feelings for you? What a joke, what feelings does she have for you?" Shen Daochen sneered. "Because of your wishful thinking, she has suffered so many years of gossip and rumors, and even I misunderstood her."

"What right do you have to mention her feelings for you? You are the least deserving person to win back her feelings."

After Bai Mumu was exposed, Shen Daochen's conscience seemed to be suddenly awakened, and now he truly regards Shen Sangruo as his daughter.

"You used to ignore her, but now you're putting on a show of being deeply in love. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

“You are not good enough for her. I will never allow someone like you to be with her.”

He had failed to fulfill too many responsibilities as a father in the past, and he had to keep a close eye on Shen Sangruo, who was his future Daoist partner.

"I'm warning you, you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to covet my daughter again, I, the sect leader, will expel you from the sect and make you despised by everyone! Hmph!"

Having said that, Shen Daochen flicked his sleeves and left.

Lu Shiqing lowered his head and did not speak, but the gloom and stubbornness in his eyes were so obvious.

If Shen Sang says she never had any feelings of love for him, it's because her emotions have been detached. Once he regains his feelings, she will remember them.

Shen Daochen already had a problem with him, and he wouldn't listen to a single word he said.

What are the disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect compared to Shen Sangruo? They are not worth mentioning at all.

At this moment, nothing and no one was more important to him than Shen Sangruo.

He only wants Shen Sangri! He's willing to give up everything for her!

Lu Shiqing's eyes became fanatical, even somewhat manic.

So what if that old man Shen Daochen disagrees? He's not her biological father.

He believed that once Shen Sang regained her feelings, she would definitely agree to elope with him.

At that time, no one will bother them anymore.

The more excited he became, the more active the residual poison in his body became, but the pain in his body could not suppress the joy in his heart.

Sang Ruo, wait for him, he will definitely take her away!

Feng Heyun, standing nearby, found Lu Shiqing's expression rather frightening.

But in recent years, Lu Shiqing has occasionally shown such an expression, so it has become quite common.

Turning to Lingxiao Zhenren, he said, "Master, Second Junior Brother was imprisoned in the Discipline Tower because of Bai Mumu. It must have been a deliberate frame-up by her. Can he be released now?"

Wen Xuan was trapped in the Discipline Tower, hoping that the killing formation hadn't harmed him.

Lingxiao Zhenren then remembered that he still had a disciple who had not been released.

You can't blame him for that; his attention was entirely on Shen Sangruo. Even if the four of them were combined, they couldn't compare to her alone.

He nodded and gave a faint reply, "Mm."

As he stepped toward the Discipline Department, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his head, so intense that his vision blurred and his very soul seemed to tremble, nearly causing him to lose his footing.

"Master, what's wrong?!" Feng Heyun asked anxiously.

Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a breath before it dissipated. Lingxiao Zhenren recovered and waved to Feng Heyun, "It's nothing."

It could be a side effect of having his cultivation stolen by that demon, or it could be the shock of his beloved disciple's true colors being revealed.

For a moment, Lingxiao Zhenren felt very tired. After dealing with the mess at Feiyun Sect, he should take a good rest.

Upon hearing the news, Luo Chu, who was out, hurriedly returned from Floating Dream City.

Seeing the current state of the Flying Cloud Sect, everyone was dumbfounded.

Coincidentally, Wen Xuan was released. Every second he spent imprisoned in the Discipline Tower was torture for him.

He had lost a lot of weight, his stubble was unkempt, and his face seemed to be filled with endless sorrow.

He was completely different from the gentle and refined man he used to be.

This was the first time the four members of Zhenlin Peak had gathered together after the truth came out.

The group didn't say anything, only sighed.

Things are not the same, and neither are the people.

The people and things are no longer what they remember.
