But they did so many things to wrong her, how could he still have the face to stand in front of Shen Sangruo?

He felt guilty towards Shen Sangruo and no longer had the courage to go to her.

Furthermore, he feared that if he saw Shen Sangruo again, her gaze would still be as cold as ice.

His increasingly confused mental state could no longer withstand such a blow.

So he chose to escape, trying to numb himself.

Feng Heyun looked at Wen Xuan with disappointment, "Weren't you the most resourceful person before? How come you can't even say a word now?"

Wen Xuan remained silent.

"Forget it, I might as well ask a rock." He then turned to Bai Mumu, "Junior Sister, you definitely support me, right?"

“I naturally support Senior Brother.” Bai Mumu readily agreed, but a troubled look appeared on her face. “However… I’m afraid that Senior Brother’s actions will displease Master.”

"Last time, Master forbade us senior brothers from going to see Senior Sister Shen. This time the matter is so serious. If we rashly go to see her, Master will only be angrier. If we anger Master and he doesn't let Senior Sister Shen come back, wouldn't that be a loss?"

Feng Heyun felt that Bai Mumu's words made a lot of sense. "I didn't think it through. But we can't just do nothing, Junior Sister. Do you have any good ideas?"

"The young sect leader's competition will be held in less than three months. At that time, we won't need to look for Senior Sister Shen; she will return to the sect on her own."

"Then we can resolve the conflict with Senior Sister Shen. That way we won't anger Master, and we can also win Senior Sister Shen back. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

"Junior Sister is indeed incredibly intelligent. We'll do as Junior Sister says." Feng Heyun was overjoyed.

Bai Mumu sneered inwardly, thinking that only someone as dim-witted as Feng Heyun would think this was a good idea.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that if someone is angry, you should go and coax them back on the spot.

Let alone three months, people might forget who you are even after just three days.

As I said before, if you don't coax them, plenty of others will.

When the time comes, he won't even have anywhere to cry.

With Shen Sangruo's problem resolved, Feng Heyun's attention returned to Bai Mumu. "Young Sect Master's competition... what about Junior Sister?"

"There are less than three months left. After deducting the time you need to recuperate, you won't have much time left to cultivate."

“Chen Sang Ruo Ke is already in the late stage of Golden Core, while Junior Sister is only in the early stage of Golden Core.”

Shen Sanruo's rate of improvement surpassed even theirs; who could have imagined that she had once exhausted all her cultivation?

How can we possibly win?

Feng Heyun naturally didn't say the last sentence.

"No matter what, I will try my best." Bai Mumu smiled faintly, her soft gaze containing a hint of determination.

"Moreover, the Young Sect Master's competition is not only about strength, but also about two other aspects, in which I am no worse than Senior Sister Shen."

It also includes a sect election, where all members of the Flying Cloud Sect vote, and the one with the most votes wins.

Handling sect affairs tests one's ability to manage the sect; the best performer wins.

The one who wins two out of the three events will be chosen as the young sect leader.

In Feng Heyun's eyes, Bai Mumu was like a resilient little white flower. Although her life was full of hardships, she never gave in to fate and always climbed upwards.

He thought that anyone who saw Bai Mumu would be captivated by her spirit and gentleness!

If Bai Mumu could become the young sect leader, it would perhaps become a legendary tale in the cultivation world.

As Feng Heyun and Wen Xuan descended from the main peak, they overheard many disciples discussing the matter.

"A major event has recently occurred in our sect. Have you all heard about it?"

"Are you talking about the incident at Zhenlin Peak?"

"Yes, it's about when Shen Sangri was expelled from the sect by True Person Lingxiao."

Some disciples were quite surprised. "Really? What happened? How could she be expelled from the sect for no reason? Isn't she Sect Master Shen's daughter?"

"Even if she has done something wrong, Master Lingxiao will forgive her out of respect for Sect Master Shen, right?"

Being expelled from one's master's school is a great disgrace.

"It's absolutely true. This news was personally released by Master Lingxiao, and Shen Sangruo's name has been removed from the list of disciples of Zhenlin Peak."

Many disciples also felt it was expected, saying, "It was only a matter of time before someone like Shen Sangri was expelled from the sect."

"She's not Sect Master Shen's biological daughter, so why is she that important? Anyone with eyes can see that Sect Master Shen prefers Junior Sister Bai."

Lingxiao Zhenren is currently the number one cultivator in the cultivation world and the face of their Feiyun Sect. Naturally, they cannot have a "stain" like Shen Sangruo under their tutelage.

"I had heard before that Shen Sanruo was extremely jealous, and she only allowed others to pay attention to her and not to pay attention to others. I don't know how much trouble Junior Sister Bai suffered at her hands."

Her expulsion from the sect at this moment is proof of this.

"Perhaps it was because of her jealousy that she did something unforgivable to Junior Sister Bai, so even Sect Master Shen agreed to expel her from Zhenlin Peak."

"That's good. Zhenlin Peak has one less menace."

Hearing these remarks, Feng Heyun was furious.

What does it mean to be expelled from the sect? Shen Sangri was clearly... Feng Heyun felt a lump in his throat. Anyway, she wasn't expelled from the sect.

Although Shen Sanruo did make some mistakes, she was not as bad as they claimed, and they could not tolerate her slander.

He immediately went up to the group of disciples and shouted, "Since when has the Flying Cloud Sect ever had a rule against arbitrarily speaking ill of and slandering others?"

Before those people from Zhenlin Peak could even say anything, what nonsense were they spouting?!

Upon seeing that they were from Zhenlin Peak, the disciples' contempt vanished instantly.

But she didn't feel guilty, since everyone in the Flying Cloud Sect knew that the people of Zhenlin Peak didn't really like Shen Sangruo.

Someone tried to explain, "Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Wen, we just..."

But Wen Xuan, who was equally angry, interrupted him, "Seeing how leisurely you all are, I will report to Elder Li and ask him to give you extra training."

These disciples were under Elder Li's command. Elder Li was known throughout the Flying Cloud Sect for his volatile temper.

As a disciple of Lingxiao Zhenren, Wen Xuan's words carry considerable weight.

Upon hearing his words, the disciples immediately fell silent.

"If I hear you discussing Shen Sangruo again in the future, it won't be so simple. I haven't challenged anyone to a duel in a long time." Feng Heyun's gaze was sharp and fierce, displaying the aura of the chief disciple under Lingxiao Zhenren.

The group quickly nodded and left, puzzled as to why they had changed their attitude towards Shen Sangruo and were now so protective of her.

After the group had walked away, Feng Heyun, who had been supporting himself, suddenly felt weak and looked extremely dejected.

The two then went to find Master Lingxiao.

I want to ask him why he announced the news so quickly, when the matter is still unresolved.

Even if it is made public, it should be stated that she was not expelled from the sect, which caused Shen Sangruo to be discussed for no reason.

They were kicked out before they even got to see Master Lingxiao.

He simply said, "That was her own request."
