His throat was cut by Zhao Yanran, so he could only make sounds as hoarse as gravel. As soon as he said this, he subconsciously covered his whole body, and couldn't help but secretly look at Xuan Xiao and Zhao Yanran from the corner.

Xuan Xiao paused, glanced at the piece of rag sticking out in the corner, and turned his eyes away in disgust.

"Yanran, Chu Heng is a traitor who has harmed his fellow disciples. He has been expelled from Qingyun Sect and is no longer my disciple. Don't come to this cliff of remorse again, lest he corrupt you!"

Zhao Yanran raised her head and looked at Xuan Xiao with admiration: "Master, I understand."

Chu Heng stood there in a daze. He looked at the departing backs of Zhao Yanran and Xuan Xiao, then looked down at his own broken body.

He always thought that his master punished him so severely in order to protect his junior sister, but he still had him as his disciple in his heart.

But it turns out that they don't want me anymore.

Master...

Yanran...

Chu Heng curled himself up into a ball, his whole body shaking constantly. He kept knocking his head against the protruding rocks on the cliff, as if this could alleviate a little of the pain in his heart.

"You haven't finished eating the mermaid meat yet, right?"

"Not yet! Master, if I come out of the Cliff of Repentance like this, will the sect and the elders blame you?"

"Of course not. With me here, those old guys won't dare to say anything even if they are dissatisfied."

Xuan Xiao looked at Zhao Yanran's cultivation in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm and handed the storage bag to Zhao Yanran with satisfaction.

"You should continue to eat the mermaid meat. After all, your cultivation is not as good as Sheng He's, otherwise how dare she bully you again and again? This time you missed the trip to Wuling Valley, I'm afraid your cultivation will fall far behind."

Zhao Yanran clenched her fists, a trace of unwillingness flashed across her eyes. She had actually forgotten that Wuling Valley would be opened during this period of time, and it would take another sixty years to open it again. If Sheng He got the gold stone this time, wouldn't the gap between their cultivation levels be even greater?

Xuan Xiao observed the changes in Zhao Yanran's expression and curled his lips gently. He patted Zhao Yanran's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Master is here. If you finish eating this mermaid, I will go to the Eastern Sea to catch a few more for you."

"Why do we need to go to the Eastern Sea?"

"Master, isn't there a ready-made one here?"

Zhao Yanran narrowed her eyes and stared at A Yuan in the distance. If she remembered correctly, this mermaid was the one that was beside Sheng He on Dragon Island.

"Yes, whatever Yanran wants, I will get it for you, so you must not slack off."

Xuan Xiao looked at Zhao Yanran greedily, like a starving man seeing the fat meat in front of him, and he did not hide the desire in his eyes.

…

On the tenth day, Tian Yu staggered back to Qingyun Sect. He fainted in front of the medicine garden, with several dark green plant roots tightly grasped in his hands.

When Jinglan helped Tianyu up, he was still muttering: "Xiaolan, Luo Ling and I have nothing to do with each other. It was because Master said she was my junior sister that I took extra care of her. Xiaolan, please don't be angry with me anymore."

Jinglan paused while holding Tianyu's hand, then lowered his eyes to look at Tianyu, who had his eyes closed and was covered in blood. Looking closely, the blood did not seem to be on Tianyu's body, but seemed to have been smeared on later.

So Jinglan let go of his hand without hesitation.

"Bang!" Tianyu fell to the ground. Jinglan didn't even look at him. She pulled out the few excellent Shamu plants from his hands, kicked him hard a few times, and then walked into the medicine garden gracefully.

Tianyu quietly opened one eye: Huh? Something is wrong! Shouldn't she feel sorry for me, pity me, and then forgive me? Why doesn't Jinglan follow the script!

After taking the Nine-bend Purple Yuan Pill and staying in the medicine garden for a whole month, Sheng He felt that her injuries were completely healed. Perhaps it was because her three spiritual roots had been tempered. Although her cultivation level almost dropped to the foundation-building stage this time, it quickly recovered after refining the gold and stone.

Just as his injury healed, Sheng He heard that Zhao Yanran was secretly taken out of the Cliff of Repentance by Xuan Xiao.

Along with this news, there was also the news that Chu Heng committed suicide on the Cliff of Regret. However, this news did not cause much splash and quietly disappeared amid the envy of Zhao Yanran who broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Sheng He stroked the sword wound on her arm. For more than a month, she had deliberately ignored the sword wound. Now the wound had festered and looked particularly terrifying.

Sheng He did not hesitate and took Mu Yao, Yun Qianshan and Shen Ci to the Discipline Department.

Sheng He didn't dare to hesitate, for she was afraid that if she was a little slower, Xuan Xiao would find an opportunity to kill her again.

Only when Xuan Xiao is unable to take care of himself can she take the opportunity to go to Wuwang Sea to get the Qingyan True Fire. Otherwise... I am afraid that she will live under Xuan Xiao's shadow for the rest of her life.

In the Discipline Department, Sheng He told everything that happened on the Xiaoxiang Terrace. She showed the sword wound on her arm, and specifically said that Xuan Xiao had left a ring on the Xiaoxiang Terrace, a water-green ring.

Xuan Xiao never showed the ring to anyone else and always kept it close to his body. The sect leader had only seen it once by chance and immediately believed Sheng He's words 80%.

He looked at Shen Ci, who was lying on the ground half-dead with lifeless eyes, then looked at Sheng He, who was standing upright in the center of the Discipline Department, and pinched his brows tiredly.

Why is it that the Xuan Xiao lineage just can’t get along with Sheng He?

First there were two apprentices, and then when the two apprentices failed, they changed masters.

They are all disciples of Qingyun Sect and are all geniuses of their time, so why do they have to fight to the death?

The sect leader sighed and looked around calmly. Fortunately, the elder from the Discipline Department only invited him.

There were not many people in the Discipline Department at the moment. Apart from him, the three elders of the Discipline Department, Sheng He and his two companions, and Shen Ci, there was no one else.

The clan leader approached Sheng He and said earnestly, "Sheng He, I know you have been wronged. It is true that Xuan Xiao did something inappropriate, but you are still standing here alive after all."

"What do you mean, Sect Master? If Elder Tianyu hadn't risked his life to retrieve the Shamuzu from the depths of the desert, Xiaohe would still be unconscious now!"

"That's right, Sect Master. Xuan Xiao Xianzun almost strangled me to death. Don't you want to take care of it?"

Yun Qianshan and Mu Yao became excited instantly, but the sect leader just comforted them in a gentle voice.

"You are still young and don't know what this means. If I punish Xuan Xiao for this, once it gets out, not only will Qingyun Sect lose face, but Xuan Xiao will also be despised by others."

"Xuan Xiao has been mentally unstable recently. If he is provoked into becoming a demon, the consequences will be unimaginable for the entire righteous path! On the contrary, Xuan Xiao is the world's number one swordsman. As long as he is here, Qingyun Sect will always be the world's number one sect, which will also benefit you!"
