Xia Muge told Qin Wanning not to pay attention to these rumors from the inner sect, but Qin Wanning wasn't the only one gossiping.
The Divine Will Sect has been developing for nearly ten thousand years, and by this time, many people have become dependent on the Divine Will Sect for their livelihood.
The inner disciples are an example of this.
The number of inner disciples is enormous.
After all, once you become a Spirit Master, your cultivation progress slows down, and resources become scarce.
Many inner disciples whose cultivation has stagnated will find their own way out; they can't just hang themselves forever.
However, they dared not leave the Divine Will Sect, so naturally they could only curry favor with the elders and powerful people.
This is why many people become subservient to others; even if it means sacrificing their dignity, they can still gain enough resources in return.
Under these circumstances, many people began to pay attention to Guo Yang.
If Guo Yang was previously seen as a joke by the inner sect members, they no longer dared to laugh at him now.
Who else could be like Guo Yang, who actually gained the favor of a Holy Son, and even the inner sect elders dared not easily offend him?
They even wanted to ask Guo Yang how to gain the attention of the Holy Son.
This skill is even more impressive than that of the senior sister.
Xiao Shuyan, the senior sister who was suddenly brought up for comparison with men, was naturally angry.
She didn't like Zhang Haoran.
This remains true even now.
However, after Zhang Haoran became infatuated with Guo Yang, she, the number one beauty of the Divine Will Sect, actually had to resort to competing with men for looks.
This naturally made Xiao Shuyan very angry.
She even publicly declared, "We cultivators should strive for self-improvement; those who fawn over superiors are not worthy of being compared to me."
Upon hearing this, many cultivators fawned over the senior sister, but quite a few others changed their expressions.
Within the Divine Will Sect, Guo Yang is not the only one who flatters the emperor.
Who wouldn't want to curry favor with someone powerful?
...
After returning to the Divine Will Sect, Guo Yang discovered that his life was actually better than before.
He was slightly surprised, but then became smug.
After all, he knew why.
The thought that so many people stronger than him were fawning over him filled Guo Yang with a sense of satisfaction.
After satisfaction comes emptiness.
At this point, Guo Yang had completely stopped cultivating.
After accepting the legacy, he began to question the meaning of hard work.
After all, he could increase his strength without cultivating, and besides, Zhang Haoran gave him so much monster meat.
So, if he can obtain these things without cultivating, what's the point of cultivating at all?
If he felt guilty about giving up in the past, then he feels perfectly justified in giving up now.
Zhang Haoran was very satisfied with this.
He did not keep his promise to give Guo Yang a suitable person for dual cultivation.
After realizing his own secret thoughts, Zhang Haoran naturally wanted to imprison Guo Yang, preferably making him his own.
Instead of rushing to see Guo Yang, he went to the library to search for insidious ways to destroy spiritual roots.
As long as Guo Yang is unable to cultivate, he can support Guo Yang for the rest of his life, right?
Although Guo Yang has always seemed unambitious, what if he suddenly has a change of heart one day?
Of course, Zhang Haoran couldn't tell anyone about this.
He took a deep breath, looked through many herbs, and memorized their effects one by one.
Zhang Haoran didn't actually know why he was so obsessed with Guo Yang.
But it doesn't matter, I'm just one person anyway.
As long as I satisfy my inner desires, that's enough.
No one knows the secret in Zhang Haoran's heart, but Xiao Shuyan is angered by Guo Yang, who is spoiled by Zhang Haoran.
After she said those words, she naturally had admirers who fawned over her.
However, the thought that she had to compare herself to a man naturally made her angry.
Therefore, Xiao Shuyan began to cause trouble for Guo Yang.
While Guo Yang was enjoying the monster meat, Xiao Shuyan arrived.
She looked at Guo Yang with disgust and said, "Is this the good-for-nothing who eats monster meat every day?"
It should be noted that even inner disciples cannot enjoy the privilege of eating demon beast meat every day.
After all, monsters cannot be kept in captivity and are extremely rare.
She held the sword to Guo Yang's neck.
Guo Yang was startled, then cowered: "Heroine, please spare me! This meat will spoil if we don't eat it!"
Guo Yang's courage was more fragile than imagined.
Xiao Shuyan revealed a hint of disgust and said, "Hehe, it's not impossible for me to spare your life, but you get out of the inner sect."
"no."
Guo Yang knew that if he were to leave the inner sect, wouldn't he be giving up something he had worked so hard for?
Although he didn't feel that anything was hard-won.
But no means no.
Guo Yang asked instinctively, "I have no grudge against you, why are you targeting me?"
"No enmity or grudge, well said."
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Guo Yang's face.
The boy was quite handsome, and for some reason, she felt a surge of impulse.
Thinking about this, Xiao Shuyan suddenly felt that this was too terrifying.
So she said, "We have no grudge against each other, but I want to know, if I slash your face, will you still be liked by the Holy Son like this?"
After she finished speaking, she was about to take action.
At this moment, Zhang Haoran appeared: "Stop, you vicious woman."
Xiao Shuyan was slightly taken aback, but then saw Zhang Haoran shield Guo Yang behind him and say to Xiao Shuyan, "You're so vicious that you want to slash someone's face at the slightest disagreement. I must have been out of my mind to like you before."
Just as Xiao Shuyan was about to make his move, Zhang Haoran understood his own heart.
He didn't like Xiao Shuyan, but rather vanity.
However, he now possesses emotions more precious than vanity.
Therefore, he directly rebuked Xiao Shuyan for being vicious.
Xiao Shuyan was so angry she almost laughed.
She has been in the Divine Will Sect for so many years, and sometimes she is said to be aloof and arrogant, but that doesn't matter.
But this was the first time she had been called vicious.
So much so that when Xiao Shuyan heard such an evaluation, he was stunned.
She said coldly, "It doesn't matter if you call me vicious, so what if I am vicious?"
She said arrogantly, "I am the senior disciple of Goddess Peak. You should know that my status is worlds apart from his."
The Divine Will Sect is not a sect where everyone is equal.
Even within the inner circle, there are different ranks.
However, Zhang Haoran disregarded everything and attacked Xiao Shuyan directly.
The two clashed, and Zhang Haoran was somewhat outmatched, but Xiao Shuyan was wary of the Holy Son's identity and dared not go all out.
She felt she had gone mad; she had actually broken ties with the Holy Son for a man.
Thinking of this, she left in a huff.
The news that Zhang Haoran had taken action against the senior sister of Shennv Peak for Guo Yang also spread throughout the entire inner sect.
