The four letters of repentance silenced the disciples who were still denouncing Shen Sangruo.
Looking at Chen Sangruo again, their gazes had become complicated.
The disciples standing next to Feng Heyun and the others changed their expressions and couldn't help but shiver.
Feeling the gazes, both overt and covert, falling on him, Feng Heyun gritted his teeth, his face showing extreme embarrassment.
He wanted to offer some explanation, but the confession clearly stated everything, so he could only blame the person who showed him the confession.
He looked at Shen Sangruo in disbelief. How could she, how could she publish the confession?
Did she really disregard their feelings at all?
It's not just about their reputation, but also about Master Lingxiao; it concerns the reputation of the entire Zhenlin Peak.
How will others view them after their confessions are published? How will Zhenlin Peak be discussed?
Feng Heyun felt that she was going too far and was completely unreasonable.
How could she treat them like this?
Isn't she afraid that if she exhausts all the affection between them, she will never be able to come back?
What benefit would she gain from doing this?
Luo Chu was also very confused and muttered under her breath, "Chen Sangruo is too petty. She can't stand the slightest grievance. We've already apologized to her, and she still insists on doing this."
When Wen Xuan saw those letters of repentance, his face paled. He dug his nails into his palms, and only the pain was enough to keep him steady.
Shame filled his heart and almost consumed him.
The wrong things they did to Xiaoruo eventually came to everyone's attention.
His eyes were fixed on Shen Sangruo, trying to see a trace of reluctance and hesitation in her expression.
But he couldn't find her; her expression was so cold.
Xiao Ruo, are you really going to be so heartless?
Wen Xuan almost squeezed his palm until it bled.
Lu Shiqing seemed to have become numb and obsessed. Nothing could elicit any further reaction from him. Everything in the world was irrelevant to him. From the beginning until now, his gaze had only been fixed on Chen Sangruo.
Even the elders and peak masters were speechless with shock, all looking at Lingxiao Zhenren.
The Zhenlin Peak managed by Master Lingxiao is actually like this.
The nonchalant and disdainful expression on Lingxiao Zhenren's face had long since vanished.
He knew that Shen Sangruo had a letter of repentance, but he never imagined that Shen Sangruo would release it, especially in such a setting.
He was certain that even if she swallowed her anger today, she wouldn't reveal it for his sake, for Feng Heyun and the others, and for Zhenlin Peak.
Regardless of whether she was willing to put them in an unjust position, publishing the letter of repentance meant that she had completely severed ties with Zhenlin Peak, or even placed them in an adversarial relationship.
Having gone to such extremes, there was no room for negotiation between her and them.
How dare she?
She thought that Feng Heyun and the others wanted to win her back, so she could act so recklessly. Did she think that he would be as tolerant of her as they were?
Shen Daochen had a similar thought, believing that Shen Sangruo would not produce a letter of repentance.
However, he was more inclined to believe that the competition for the young sect leader was underway, and if she wanted to be elected as the young sect leader, she would definitely not want to antagonize Zhenlin Peak.
Zhenlin Peak is the mainstay of Feiyun Sect. If she falls out with Zhenlin Peak, how can she hold onto her position as the young sect leader?
Regardless of their inner thoughts, what Shen Sangruo did was a resounding slap in the face to them.
Lingxiao Zhenren's eyes already showed a hint of anger.
He raised his hand, and a fire dragon shot out, shattering the four letters of repentance into pieces.
Shen Sangruo had already achieved her goal, so the letter of repentance naturally lost its meaning for her.
She said, "Zhenlin Peak has done nothing to wrong me. I'm sure you all understand that."
The disciples were discussing it amongst themselves.
"So it really was her who requested to leave Zhenlin Peak?"
"Isn't that obvious? Who could stand here?"
"Then she wouldn't be some abandoned disciple who was expelled from the sect."
She gave a cold laugh. "You're saying I'm resentful, deliberately slandering Zhenlin Peak, and holding a grudge against Zhenlin Peak?"
Shen Sangruo said, word by word, "What is there about Zhenlin Peak that I would cherish?"
The faces of Feng Heyun and the others over there were extremely grim.
She looked up at Master Lingxiao again, "Master Lingxiao promised to explain the situation truthfully, so why are you being so vague? Why are you letting rumors spread within the sect?"
By this point, many people had realized the truth behind Shen Sangri's departure from Zhenlin Peak.
It was something that Master Lingxiao could have clarified with just a single sentence, yet the rumors of her being expelled from the sect were allowed to circulate within the sect for so long.
Could it be that the most revered cultivator, Master Lingxiao, was also a person with a dark heart?
Add to that his four personal disciples; if one of them behaved badly, it might be somewhat understandable, but all four were like that. This shows how incompetent Master Lingxiao was at managing his disciples…
The way they looked at Lingxiao Zhenren had changed.
The situation was clearly out of control.
Master Lingxiao now understood that he could no longer remain seated on his high platform and stand by indifferently.
The fire called "Chen Sangruo" had already reached the hem of his clothes.
But the fire was still weak, and he could extinguish it with a flick of his wrist.
"You mean, I deliberately put you in the midst of rumors?" Master Lingxiao raised his eyelids and sneered, "I don't have the extra energy to care about what's being circulated in the sect lately."
He dismissed the matter lightly with just two sentences. He didn't care about such trivial matters at all, so how could it be said that he was targeting her?
It seemed to be mocking her for being delusional.
"However, since you have brought this matter up again today, then I will make it clear in front of everyone."
"From now on, Shen Sangruo will have no further connection with Zhenlin Peak."
"The new rule of Zhenlin Peak is that anyone who leaves Zhenlin Peak can never return to Zhenlin Peak."
After Lingxiao Zhenren finished speaking, the one who reacted the most was not Shen Sangruo, but Feng Heyun and the others on the other side.
Before they could recover from the shock of the confession, when they heard Lingxiao Zhenren's new rules, which clearly indicated that he didn't want Chen Sangruo to come back, they all raised their heads and looked at Lingxiao Zhenren in shock.
"Master, you mustn't!" Feng Heyun's face fell, and he was almost in tears.
Shen Sangruo and Lingxiao Zhenren were both incredibly ruthless, and Feng Heyun's hope for repairing their relationship, which he had endured for several months, was extinguished by the two of them.
How could he accept such an outcome?
Wen Xuan and Luo Chu were about to speak when Shen Daochen's patience reached its limit.
"That's enough." His voice was filled with suppressed anger. "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's stop here."
"Anyone who mentions other unrelated matters will be dealt with according to the rules of the organization."
"The selection of candidates for the sect continues." Shen Daochen's voice brooked no argument.
