"Okay." Bai Mumu disconnected from the system.
When he looked up, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
She was completely different from before.
From the moment Bai Mumu entered this world, she cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness.
There's no other reason than that the task of the ruthless path is the simplest.
Simply kill the target's affection level when it reaches 100, and you can ascend directly.
To her, Lingxiao Zhenren and the others were merely tools for her to complete her mission.
How could a master strategist like her easily develop genuine feelings for her target?
From the day she was bound to the system, the system emphasized to her:
Men will only slow down your sword-drawing speed.
She, in turn, emphasized to the system:
"It's not just men, it's everyone who affects the speed at which I draw my sword."
The system was very satisfied with her, and she completed every strategy task excellently.
Bai Mumu smiled confidently.
Of course, this time will be no exception.
——
Shen Sanruo's mind was in complete chaos, and her body felt as if it had been crushed by a boulder.
I tried to open my eyes, but it felt like my eyelids were weighed down by a thousand pounds, and I couldn't open them no matter what I did.
However, I could clearly hear the sounds around me.
"It's been two months, and Fifth Junior Sister still shows no sign of waking up," Wen Xuan said with a sigh.
"She wouldn't want to die, she'll definitely wake up." Just from his tone, she could imagine Lu Shiqing's gritted teeth.
Then came the sound of footsteps; someone had come in.
"Is Sang Ruo still not awake?"
Wen Xuan and Lu Shiqing respectfully greeted, "Sect Master Shen."
"Fifth Junior Sister's condition has improved a lot, and she may wake up soon," Wen Xuan said slowly. "Sect Master, please don't worry too much."
"Senior Brother has gone too far this time," Lu Shiqing said, his tone less than friendly.
It's one thing if Shen Sang usually likes to fool around, but how come even the senior brother has lost his mind?
Shen Daochen sighed.
“Feng Heyun has been being punished in the Discipline Department for some time, and he will be able to come out in a few days. Sang Ruo’s current state is not his intention.”
"But given Sang Ruo's condition, having first lost all her cultivation and then suffered severe injuries, it may affect her foundation."
"Is the sect leader worried that Fifth Junior Sister's cultivation will be affected in the future?" Wen Xuan's voice was gentle.
“Regardless of Sang Ruo’s strength, the Flying Cloud Sect can protect her.” Shen Daochen paused, “But I originally intended for Sang Ruo to be the next sect leader…”
"Fortunately, there is still Mu'er. After Mu'er recovered, I saw that she has made great progress in this period of time."
Shen Daochen looked at Bai Mumu with doting eyes.
Bai Mumu has a single water spiritual root, and her aptitude is no worse than Shen Sangruo's, who has a single fire spiritual root. After recovering, she will be able to shoulder heavy responsibilities.
"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"Don't worry, Father, Mu'er will definitely live up to your expectations." Bai Mumu's eyes sparkled.
She had been waiting for Shen Daochen to say those words for a long time!
The others present also showed expressions of agreement.
"Let's discuss this matter after Sang Ruo wakes up."
If Shen Sangruo had just gone through all that, and he were to immediately replace her with the next sect leader, she would inevitably be suspicious.
Three more days passed, and the heaviness on Chen Sangruo's eyelids finally disappeared.
Upon seeing Shen Sangruo open her eyes, Wen Xuan first thought he was seeing things, and then he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Xiao Ruo! Xiao Ruo is awake! Xiao Ruo is awake!"
Wen Xuan gently instructed her not to move around, and then went to report to Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen.
Soon everyone had arrived.
It was nothing more than saying a few words of concern, and mentioning that Feng Heyun had already been punished and that she should take good care of her injuries.
After all, she suffered such a serious injury this time, and her emotions were not very stable because of the misunderstanding.
Knowing her temperament, we must appease her carefully, lest she cause trouble again.
But Chen Sanruo remained calm, only nodding softly from beginning to end.
She didn't bring up the matter at all, nor did she act pitiful or whine to them, trying to make them feel sorry for her.
Her behavior surprised everyone.
Normally, Shen Sangruo would have used this opportunity to draw their attention to her.
Such an abnormality, could it be that he has damaged his brain?
Everyone stared at her, finding it strange.
“Uncle-Master,” Shen Sangruo suddenly spoke.
This is the first thing she has said since she regained consciousness.
Everyone's expressions were clear; as expected, Shen Sangruo was still the same Shen Sangruo.
And sure enough, it's about to flare up.
But this time it's different; Shen Sangruo is completely the victim.
As long as her requests aren't too unreasonable, they'll try their best to meet them.
Shen Sanruo had no idea what they were thinking, and she didn't bother to guess.
All she wanted to do right now was get rid of everything related to them.
She took something out of her storage bag and said, "The Young Sect Master's Token that my Martial Uncle once gave me is no longer suitable for me to possess. Please take it back, Martial Uncle."
The group, who were prepared to deal with her "unreasonable" demands, were stunned.
Shen Daochen looked at the token in her hand, his feelings complicated.
He wanted to take the token back, but he felt uneasy if Shen Sang handed it over so decisively.
Could it be that she overheard what he said while she was unconscious?
Shen Daochen, the old father, felt somewhat guilty.
He was very strict with Shen Sangruo, aiming to groom her as the young sect leader, and Shen Sangruo suffered a lot because of this.
How could he just abandon her now? That would be too heartless. He should give her another chance and make a decision later.
But as the sect leader, he had to plan for the sect's long-term future.
Shen Daochen was extremely conflicted, while Shen Sanruo was losing patience.
She didn't quite understand.
He was the one who wanted to take the token back, so why did he hesitate when she handed it to him?
“Uncle-Master is right, Junior Sister is more suitable for this token than I am,” Chen Sangruo reminded her again.
"You heard everything?" Shen Daochen was now certain. He explained, "Don't overthink it. I was just thinking about the sect..."
"Hmm." She interrupted Shen Daochen before he could finish speaking.
If she doesn't agree, you should lecture her; if she does agree, you should still lecture her.
She now clearly realized that their target was never the issue, but her.
"I don't believe someone would willingly hand over the token." Lu Shiqing narrowed his eyes, his tone pointed.
His gaze was deep and sharp, as if he could see right through her.
Lu Shiqing noticed all of Shen Sanruo's changes.
Such strangeness made it hard for him not to suspect that Shen Sangri was preparing some kind of conspiracy.
This is not something Shen Sangruo would do.
"Perhaps it's just a pretense to return it, and then they'll make a big fuss in the sect later, saying they were forced to return it, using this to create trouble and smear Junior Sister."
As he spoke, Lu Shiqing became increasingly certain.
Only in this way can Shen Sangruo's abnormal behavior be explained.
