Shen Sangruo's words left Shen Daochen speechless.
Master Lingxiao disliked her self-righteous manner, but could only snort coldly and say, "Deceptive and sophistical!"
With the two sides deadlocked and many Flying Cloud Sect disciples watching, Shen Daochen could not find a reasonable reason to punish Shen Sangruo.
If the crime is to deliberately injure the opponent during a competition, then all the disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect will have to go to the Discipline Department.
The reasoning was untenable. As the sect leader, Shen Daochen naturally couldn't act impulsively; he still had to pretend to be fair and just on the surface.
But if Shen Sang had injured Bai Mumu so severely, he would certainly not let the matter pass easily.
At this moment, Shen Sangruo was merely taking advantage of the momentum of the Feiyun Sect members, so he thought he would first stabilize the situation on the spot, and then have a proper talk with her after the disciples left.
With a dark expression, Shen Daochen immediately announced to the crowd: "Due to an unexpected incident, this competition for the young sect leader is hereby terminated. A decision will be made on another day. All disciples of the sect, please leave in an orderly manner."
Strictly speaking, all three aspects of the Young Sect Master's competition have ended. However, Shen Daochen did not determine the final winner in terms of strength, nor did he reveal who the Young Sect Master was in his words.
The disciples, peak masters, and elders of the Flying Cloud Sect were well aware of this, but none of them spoke up. Naturally, they did not want someone as vicious as Shen Sangruo to become the young sect leader.
Shen Sanruo knew very well what Shen Daochen was thinking. She hadn't gotten what she wanted yet, so how could she let Shen Daochen dismiss everyone?
"Everyone present saw who won the contest of strength, so why didn't Martial Uncle announce it? And why is he eligible to go to the Treasure Pavilion? Does Martial Uncle intend to renege on his promise?"
As if deliberately going against Shen Daochen, Shen Sangruo's voice rang out at the right moment, making Shen Daochen's face turn green with anger.
Shen Sangruo, who had always been so obedient and compliant, had never shown such a strong and assertive attitude before, as if she had become a completely different person.
Shen Daochen was filled with a mix of emotions, but most of them were disappointment and anger.
"I won, but my martial uncle won't give me the qualification to go to the Treasure Pavilion. Could it be that this qualification was originally prepared for Junior Sister Bai, and that's why he doesn't want to give it to me?"
Seeing that Shen Daochen still did not express his opinion, Shen Sanruo continued to speak.
She was determined to put him in a difficult position and embarrass him; she was determined to obtain the Soul Lock.
Her words undoubtedly shattered Shen Daochen's previous thoughts. As everyone knows, people only get furious when they are told the truth. In an instant, all of Shen Daochen's emotions turned into endless anger.
"Is the Treasure Pavilion all you care about? To make such malicious assumptions about your father just for a qualification, all these years of raising you have been a waste!"
He tried to attack Shen Sangruo with such language to shame her.
Shen Sanruo's expression remained unchanged as she lightly said, "I was merely stating the facts and fighting for my rightful interests. Why is my uncle so angry?"
Having said that, he made a move to continue speaking, as if he wouldn't give up until he got the qualification.
Shen Daochen was already furious, his chest heaving as he suppressed the rage in his voice, "You care so much about your own interests? Fine! Get out of your Treasure Pavilion! Don't ever acknowledge me as your father again!"
He felt a little relieved, thankful that Shen Sangruo hadn't coerced him into giving her the position of young sect leader in front of so many people.
For a pittance, he was willing to seriously injure his own sister and act so unreasonably. How is he any different from a street thug?
At this moment, Shen Daochen had made up his mind that he would never give the position of young sect leader to Shen Sangri!
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Shen Daochen's words were tantamount to severing his father-daughter relationship with Shen Sangri.
It's easy to imagine that he was truly enraged this time.
Wen Xuan's eyes narrowed suddenly. He had never imagined that things would escalate to this point. He rushed to Shen Daochen, clasped his hands and bowed, his voice filled with anxiety: "Xiao Ruo was ignorant and made a big mistake. I hope Sect Master Shen will forgive her!"
"Sect Master Shen, you mustn't!" Feng Heyun cried and hurriedly stepped forward to plead for Shen Sangruo.
"Sect Leader Shen, please don't hold it against her. She hasn't been thinking clearly lately." Luo Chu also stood on the same side as the two of them.
Even Lu Shiqing spoke up: "Sect Leader Shen, please reconsider!"
Shen Daochen looked at Shen Sangruo's four former senior brothers who were all pleading for her, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He already knew what they had done to her, and naturally felt utterly disgusted, so why were they standing up now?
However, Shen Sanruo's eyes showed no change despite the four people's pleas.
Seeing that Shen Daochen remained unmoved, the four of them turned and walked to her side.
"Chen Sangruo, just apologize to Sect Leader Shen. Don't insist on going to the Treasure Pavilion. Stop being stubborn!" Feng Heyun tried to pull her away, but she dodged him without batting an eye, leaving him empty-handed.
"Xiao Ruo, don't make Sect Leader Shen angry again," Wen Xuan said earnestly.
Since Shen Sangri had already beaten Bai Mumu to that state, he really didn't want to see her continue making mistakes.
Thinking about what he and others had done to Shen Sangruo, the guilt in his heart prevented him from uttering words of blame.
Their actions were observed by Shen Daochen, who was already showing signs of taking his anger out on the four of them. Shen Daochen looked at Lingxiao Zhenren beside him.
Master Lingxiao was also frowning deeply at this moment.
He waved his sleeve, interrupting Luo Chu who was about to speak, "I had no idea that you had such a deep relationship with her."
"She is no longer a member of Zhenlin Peak. Your real junior sister was injured by her, yet you plead for her?"
Lingxiao Zhenren's half-closed eyes clearly showed his dissatisfaction at this moment.
Feng Heyun and the others could only shut their mouths, but they all looked at Shen Sangruo expectantly, hoping that what they said would have an effect.
Shen Daochen also looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze. Even if she admitted her mistake, he would not take back what he had just said.
In recent years, she has become too sharp, and he is determined to temper her. If she continues to be so unruly, what will become of her?
Those present assumed she would compromise for Shen Daochen's sake and give up her right to go to the Treasure Pavilion.
Putting aside her long-standing father-daughter relationship with Shen Daochen, Shen Daochen is the head of a sect, so how could she bear to part with the resources under his command?
Under the gaze of countless people, Shen Sangruo spread her hands towards Shen Daochen.
Shen Daochen was unaware of her intentions, so she kindly explained, "It's a token from the Treasure Pavilion."
She always called Shen Daochen "Shishu" (a term of respect for a senior martial arts master), so what difference did it make whether she acknowledged him as her father or not?
Shen Daochen considered all sorts of reactions from Shen Sangruo.
He thought she might immediately panic, hide her sharp edges, or even cry and beg him to let her be wrong and not break off the relationship.
I never considered this possibility.
She made such a decisive choice between him and the Treasure Pavilion.
Shen Daochen felt a surge of anger and said "good" several times in a row.
