Song Xia and his group's actions eventually alarmed the Shenyuan Sect and the Xuanguang Sect.
"Who on earth is so bold as to be an enemy of our two sects?" Master Changqing was filled with anger. He had just taken over the sect's affairs and so many problems had already arisen. Could it be that someone was deliberately preventing him from taking over the position of sect leader?
“They’re all idiots. They only realized it now, and they don’t even know who the person is.” Fairy Su Mu’s expression was equally icy, making the junior disciples serving her even more cautious and uneasy.
"Only three people! Three people have caused the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect to suffer so many losses. What is their background? Why have we never heard of them before? With such high talent, they shouldn't be unknown."
Fairy Su Mu snorted coldly: "I told you long ago that we should discipline the people below more strictly. You were the one who thought it was too much trouble. Now that such a big thing has happened, they can no longer hide it and have to report it. This shows the negligence in management. What if they attack the sect one day and you are still clueless?"
Master Qing frowned: "Don't take things too seriously. With the strength of our Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect, who in the cultivation world can rival us? There are only three of them. It won't cause any trouble. It's just that it's a bit of a loss of face for our sect."
Fairy Su Mu didn't want to argue with him any further: "Do whatever you want, anyway, I can't interfere with the affairs of the Divine Origin Sect."
"You..." Shi Changqing was angry and helpless at her attitude. Even now, he still felt that Su Mu looked down on him. Even though their two children were so old, she still felt closer to Xuan Guang Sect than to Shen Yuan Sect.
"Fine, I won't argue with you. You can't completely abandon the matter of Qianli Island, can you?"
"How can we manage Qianli Island? Those monsters haven't launched a full-scale invasion of the land again. Even Elder Yuan and the others can't do anything about it. Why not just let it go? Why waste time and effort to clean it up and then not even get any credit? Qianli Island is too far away from both Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect. There's no need to occupy it."
“I’m not saying we should take over. You’ve already brought back most of the resources from Qianli Island, and the rest will definitely be eroded by those monsters. Taking over would be useless. I’m worried that the cultivators who escaped from Qianli Island will have a bad influence on our Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect, and may even damage the reputation of Tianning and Tiankui.”
Fairy Su Mu's gaze turned icy: "They wouldn't dare, otherwise I would show them the consequences of offending two sects."
"In short, this is a critical moment. I'm entrusting Tianning and Tiankui to you."
"It just so happens that several supernatural events have recently occurred in Tiger Back City. I'll take them to deal with them and enhance their reputation."
The division commander said worriedly, "We mustn't let anything go wrong this time."
"Don't I care about those siblings more than you do?" Fairy Su Mu didn't want to say more to him. "What big trouble could a mere mortal city near the cultivation world possibly cause? You should investigate those who are enemies of our two sects first, lest their power expands and things get out of hand."
The couple parted on bad terms. On the surface, they were discussing the matter, but in reality, it seemed like they were deliberately trying to spite each other, and neither of them said a single kind word.
At times like these, Shi Changqing would always think of Song Xia, his first Daoist partner.
When he was with Song Xia, she devoted herself entirely to him. Unlike Su Mu, she never showed him any respect. She always spoke softly and smiled.
He knew that Su Mu was angry with him because he had fallen in love with Song Xia before, but if he asked himself honestly, who wouldn't be soft-hearted with such a good daughter?
And in the end, didn't he still cruelly abandon Song Xia for Su Mu's sake? Why does Su Mu keep harping on this? It's as if he's the one who caused all the mistakes.
He was the son of the sect leader of the Divine Origin Sect, and was about to take over the position of sect leader, but in front of Su Mu, he was always treated coldly and ignored. Wasn't Su Mu just taking advantage of the fact that she was also a personal disciple of the sect leader of the Profound Light Sect?
To be honest, although the two sects were more closely united because of his marriage to Su Mu, he was still unhappy. Even if he became the sect leader, what would be the point? He would have to face someone like Su Mu for the rest of his life, constantly having to endure and yield. What was the point of life?
While Shi Changqing was unhappy, Fairy Su Mu was also filled with anger. The more time she spent with Shi Changqing, the more disgusted she felt.
Although the scheme against Song Xia was a pre-arranged plan between the two sects, why should she be the one wronged? As the direct disciple of the Xuan Guang Sect's sect leader, she was born with the Eye of Salvation. If it weren't for the marriage alliance with her master Chang Qing, she would have been the most likely successor to the position of Xuan Guang Sect's sect leader!
Fortunately, her children, Tianning and Tiankui, were the saviors predicted by the Nine Heavens Palace. Otherwise, she would have been unable to stay in the Divine Origin Sect long ago. Now, her goal in life is simply to raise her two children, so don't expect her to treat Shi Changqing gently again.
Moreover, that bastard Shi Liuchuan is still missing. She doesn't believe that without Shi Changqing's orders, that good-for-nothing Shi Liuchuan could have left the Divine Origin Sect so quietly.
Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui were well aware of the growing estrangement between the couple, but as their children, they felt it was inappropriate to interfere.
At the same time, Shi Tianning began to have some doubts about his identity as a savior. Neither Shi Changqing nor Fairy Su Mu knew what happened on Qianli Island afterward. However, since Qianli Island did not let them get involved in any real danger last time, and this time they were only going to solve the supernatural events that happened in the mortal city, Shi Tianning felt bored.
He knew that his father and mother were protecting them, but how old and how high their cultivation level had to be before they could be completely at ease?
Moreover, if he doesn't truly let go, can he and his sister grow up smoothly and shoulder the responsibility of saving the world?
“Brother, why think so much?” Compared to him, Shi Tiankui was much calmer. “Since we are the saviors predicted by the Nine Heavens Palace, then we are right. The reason we are not taking action now is simply because it is not the right time for us to take action yet. When that day comes, that will be the time for us to truly step forward.”
"But if we don't exercise regularly, how can you guarantee that we won't back down or be afraid when that day actually comes?"
Shi Tiankui's eyes were filled with aggression and ambition: "Brother, can you? I can't. I have to live up to this bloodline."
“Bloodline…” Shi Tianning thought of Shi Shuangzhi again, their poor sister. This made him feel even more that their current state of being protected was ridiculous. Since everyone knew Shi Shuangzhi’s fate from the beginning, why couldn’t they be kinder to her and Shi Liuchuan?
And where exactly did Shi Liuchuan go?
He really hoped that Shi Liuchuan had successfully escaped back then and could live a normal life, which would be fine, and that he would never come back.
