"Sect Master Shen, we have already informed the disciples outside the sect that they will be returning to the sect soon to accept the investigation. At that time, I will personally escort the offenders to your sect to apologize." Outside Jade Dew Star, several members of the Hehuan Sect's decision-making team bowed to the projection to show their respect.
"No rush, I'll wait here first. Of course, your sect's disciples are free to come and go as they please, so don't worry about me." Shen Yuan said gently, staring at the several Mahayana stage cultivators from the Hehuan Sect.
Now the six elders of the Hehuan Sect were in a dilemma. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They couldn't force Shen Yuan to leave unless she left. Even if they had the strength to fight against Shen Yuan's projection, what would happen after the battle? They would inevitably get injured, and it might even attract Shen Yuan's real body to come.
"Sect Leader Shen, what is the meaning of this?" The Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect couldn't help but ask. Even if Shen Yuan was in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, being blocked at the gate like this was a great loss of face, not to mention that it might affect the normal operation of the sect. Shen Yuan smiled, "I am here to wait for a disciple of your sect to personally welcome her into my Tianquan Sect. Gentlemen, are you willing to let her go?"
"Sect Master Shen, didn't you say before that some of our disciples were threatening us...? Why are you now asking us to release them?"
"Yes, Sect Leader Shen, please explain quickly. You've piqued our curiosity. Who is she? What did she do to make you, Sect Leader Shen, come to pick her up in person?"
"Sect Leader Shen, is it possible that one of your sect's disciples has taken a liking to a girl from our sect?"
"Yes, yes, Sect Leader Shen, please tell us, which disciple of your sect is it? Do you have a portrait? May we take a look?"
The Supreme Elder, Yu Yan, looked at her sisters, speechless. They had started as courtesans in brothels, supporting each other all the way to their current status as powerful figures on Jade Dew Star, and even in the surrounding star regions. Their bond was incredibly strong. Therefore, she didn't stop her sisters from gossiping, but listened quietly to Shen Yuan's story. Of course, this wasn't because she wanted to hear gossip herself; absolutely not.
"I won't tell you," Shen Yuan said playfully, leaving the Hehuan Sect members speechless. Even the disciples who had come out to secretly observe were taken aback by Shen Yuan's sudden mischievousness. Then, Shen Yuan said seriously again, "Alright, alright, I told you, it won't affect your sect. If you feel you've lost face, I'll personally come to apologize at a later time. You may all leave now."
"Ah, you're coming in person? Then I'll have to say goodbye, Sect Leader Shen. If someone as important as you enters our sect, our gates will probably be burst open."
"Yes, please wait. We will not interfere with you. You don't need to care about our opinions. Yu Lu, quickly apply spiritual energy to Sect Leader Shen. Didn't you see that she has been projecting for so long? Sect Leader Shen must be tired. Sect Leader Shen, this is not meant to be sarcastic. It is just a small token of our appreciation."
The elder, named Yulu, respectfully took out a spiritual vein from her storage space and arranged it into an array in the starry sky to channel spiritual energy into Shen Yuan's projection. This way, Sect Master Shen wouldn't need to transfer spiritual energy to maintain the projection; she only needed to transfer her consciousness. Shen Yuan glanced at her sisters, feeling rather helpless. However, she certainly wouldn't refuse their small gesture. To be honest, even if she were given the entire Hehuan Sect, she would accept it without hesitation, because she had the strength. Shen Yuan could be considered the strongest woman in the entire universe. Whether there were any other women stronger than her, no one knew yet.
Three months later, Su Meier appeared near Jade Dew Star. Upon arrival, she immediately felt the oppressive aura emanating from Shen Yuan's projection. Strangely, several elders were playing mahjong with Shen Yuan. In the past three months, Shen Yuan had become familiar with the game and won most of the treasures belonging to the sisters of the Joyful Union Sect. However, whether this was due to social skills or Shen Yuan's cleverness and luck remained unknown. This was a novel item brought by a disciple of the Joyful Union Sect from Earth, and it became a sensation throughout the sect and even Jade Dew Star upon its appearance. Su Meier stopped on a piece of stardust, not daring to move rashly. These elders, especially the one in the projection, were practically omnipotent. She couldn't hide her affairs, nor could she escape them.
Top-tier cultivators actually have a great deal of leisure time; they can't possibly be in seclusion forever. Living for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, a month or two is roughly equivalent to a day or two for mortals. Su Meier waited another month, but she remained respectful and dared not act rashly. A month later, the elders of the Hehuan Sect had gambled away all their treasures, and Yu Yan finally glanced at Su Meier, assuming she was the rightful owner.
"Mei'er, tell us, tell Sect Leader Shen, about your great achievements!" Yu Yan was furious. She could be polite and courteous to Shen Yuan, but she wouldn't be so lenient with a disciple who had almost brought disaster to the sect. Su Mei'er felt the pressure from the Supreme Elder and panicked. Perhaps Shen Yuan was here to force the elders to execute her. So, she quickly and honestly recounted what had happened before and after meeting Xu Chen.
"Elder, I... I really didn't kill Tian... I didn't kill any disciples of the Tianquan Sect... I really just... had a spiritual and physical intercourse with him." Su Meier was extremely flustered, fearing that she would be executed by the elder.
"Then did you intend to kill him?" Shen Yuan scanned Su Meier's belly with her divine sense, sensing a very faint life force within. "As expected, Senior Brother predicted it correctly." Shen Yuan once again admired her Sect Master Senior Brother's deductive skills. Perhaps the elders of the Hehuan Sect were all focused on whether Su Meier had done anything to the Tianquan Sect disciples, so apart from Shen Yuan, no one noticed the joy in Su Meier's belly—a sign of a new life. Her expression softened further, and she looked at Su Meier as if she were looking at a granddaughter-in-law.
