Xu Yuehuai quickly adapted and resumed her busy life. Only occasionally, when she saw Shi Mu, her mind would go blank, wondering what Qi Guze was doing.
Zisangyi has completely abandoned the sect. These days, she has been growing vegetables and cultivating on the mountain, taking care of Weishengliu. She is living a very happy life. The only sad time of day is when she looks at Weishengliu's body and wonders when he will be able to complete his transformation and when they can reunite.
...
After Song Xin arrived at the sect, she had just reached her room when someone passing by saw her and kindly reminded her, "Hey, Senior Sister Song, you're back? Did you know that you were reported for freely entering and leaving the sect? Or are you back to deal with this matter?"
The person outside the door was completely unaware that the atmosphere in the air was becoming increasingly tense. Song Xin was furious and took a few steps to stand in front of the person. "What did you say? What do you mean I was reported for freely entering and leaving the sect?"
The man was startled by Song Xin's appearance. Seeing this, Yi Zhuo quickly stepped forward to separate the two and whispered in Song Xin's ear to remind her to control her emotions.
Song Xin finally managed to calm herself down. Her dark eyes stared intently at the person outside the door. The person outside said tremblingly, "This... I don't know either. It was just a message posted on the bulletin board a couple of days ago."
Despite her inner rage, Song Xin maintained a calm demeanor thanks to Yi Zhuo's reminder. After her junior brother finished speaking and saw that Song Xin had no reaction, he quietly slipped away, fearing that Song Xin would continue her madness.
After everyone left, Song Xin closed the door and roared, "What a senior sister! She just arrived and immediately tried to intimidate me! Doesn't she know how long she can stay in her position? Now that she's offended me, what kind of good will she get in the future!"
Song Xin believed that someone from the lower realm could not last long in the middle realm and would eventually be replaced and defeated.
Yi Zhuo offered a suggestion from the side: "We can't let this go unresolved. We should go to Xu Yuehuai now and get a result."
Song Xin finally heard a satisfactory answer, and immediately chose to go to the sect leader's mountain with Yi Zhuo, wanting to ask Xu Yuehuai for an answer.
After Shangguan Xi finished her seclusion, she was always worried that Xu Yuehuai would be bored, so she went to find her to cultivate together. She could also help Xu Yuehuai with some things. The two of them were walking down the mountain together when they bumped into Song Xin, who came to ask for an answer.
Shangguan Xi had a smile on his face just a second ago, but when he saw Song Xin, his grinning teeth immediately disappeared. He looked the woman up and down and said, "Look at you, so aggressive. What are you doing here?"
Song Xin said coldly, "Why did you inform me? Do you know how much face this has made me lose in the sect!"
The things Song Xin cares about most are nothing more than these, one of which is her own reputation. She values her reputation more than her own life.
When facing Xu Yuehuai, Song Xin did not treat her as a senior sister at all. Her eyes were full of disdain for Xu Yuehuai, thinking that she was just an ant and how could she be compared with a young lady of the Song family.
Xu Yuehuai looked up and glanced at her indifferently, her eyes filled with annoyance and displeasure at being disturbed. "You went out without permission, without any manners or reporting. Isn't that wrong?"
When a disciple leaves the sect, he or she must report in advance if he or she is going out to do personal business, but if he or she is going out to do a mission, he or she does not need to report after accepting the mission.
Clearly, Song Xin did not belong to the second category. "As the Fourth Elder's personal disciple, you are the goal pursued by many disciples. You have not set a good example. Shouldn't you be punished?"
Xu Yuehuai's tone was casual, yet it carried immense pressure. Song Xin was momentarily intimidated by her demeanor, her heart filled with fear. However, she quickly recovered and struggled to say, "There has never been such a rule before. I can come and go as I please. Why is there this rule now that you've come?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai suddenly realized and said "Oh," drawing out the word slightly to make it sound ambiguous. "So you're a repeat offender. Thanks for reminding me. I'll also make your behavior public."
The things posted on the bulletin board are either good news, someone has done something stupid, or just everyday announcements.
Clearly, Song Xin's actions fall into the category of foolishness.
Upon hearing this, Song Xin exploded in anger, "You dare!"
Her expression began to contort, but Xu Yuehuai remained calm. "Why wouldn't I dare? I am the senior sister, and I now have the authority to manage the sect. You have done something wrong, so I will make it public as a warning. What's wrong with that?"
"Let me tell you, I am Miss Song. Do you know what the consequences will be if you offend me!" Song Xin's threat came late but came quickly.
Shangguan Qi listened for a few minutes and couldn't help but laugh when he heard her say this. "Junior Sister Song, some things can't be explained in just a few words. You can still bring up the identity of Miss Song, but are you sure your family would offend Qingtao Valley and Sect Master Zisangyi for your sake?"
Song Xin hesitated for a moment.
To outsiders, the Song family appears to be incredibly prestigious, but internally, the principle of male dominance remains unchanged. Song Xin's significant position within the family is entirely due to her exceptional talent in cultivation.
Her talent surpassed that of most of the men in the Song family, which allowed her to break through the encirclement of men.
Song Xin frowned, then said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. I'm only targeting Xu Yuehuai, I don't mean to offend the sect leader or Qingtao Valley!"
"I really don't know if you're genuinely stupid or just pretending. As the sect leader's personal disciple, if you offend Senior Sister, isn't that practically the same as going against the sect leader?"
Xu Yuehuai didn't have the time to chat with Song Xin about trivial matters. After exchanging a few words, she said, "If you're done raving, get out of the way and don't block the way."
Yi Zhuo stood beside her without saying a word. When she saw that Song Xin had actually lost in this aspect, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes when she looked at Song Xin, but she quickly hid this emotion and replaced it with hatred.
Because Song Xin blamed all her current failures and setbacks on Yi Zhuo, she slapped her, "Why didn't you speak up for me! How did you feel watching me get bullied like this?"
Song Xin's eyes still held a trace of sadness. In her heart, Yi Zhuo was indeed different; she was a special person.
