Wen Xuan woke up at almost the same time as Bai Mumu.
After waking up, he stared bitterly at the ceiling, and when he saw Luo Chu coming over, he didn't say a word.
Luo Chu hesitated before speaking, "Second Senior Brother, I have something I want to tell you."
When did our relationship with Chen Sangruo become like this?
Wen Xuan was slightly stunned, his thoughts drifting back to a long, long time ago, when Shen Sanruo still liked to follow behind them, and their time together was so harmonious and joyful.
Looking back on all of this now, it all feels like something from a past life.
His thoughts returned to the present, to the fact that their relationship with her was so strained, and that she was no longer in the Flying Cloud Sect. As if a beautiful dream had been shattered, two lines of tears slid down Wen Xuan's cheeks.
He murmured, "We've wronged her, we owe her so much..."
Seeing Wen Xuan's dejected appearance, Luo Chu knew he was probably at a loss, so she directly voiced her thoughts:
"Second Senior Brother, have you noticed that ever since Junior Sister arrived, our relationship with Chen Sangruo has started to have problems, and it has escalated to this point?"
Wen Xuan paused, as if he had suddenly realized something, and abruptly turned to look at Luo Chu.
Luo Chu, on the other hand, looked completely certain.
Of course, Luo Chu's ability to say such things did not mean that he had discovered Bai Mumu's secrets.
Rather, he was used to shifting blame and didn't want to admit that Shen Sang left because of him, so he pushed all the responsibility onto Bai Mumu.
"Before Junior Sister came, everything was fine, but after she arrived, Zhenlin Peak became like this."
Seeing that Wen Xuan remained silent for a long time, Luo Chu felt a little guilty.
"I don't mean to say that Junior Sister is bad, I just feel that this matter is somewhat related to her. Second Senior Brother, I'm telling you this because I trust you, so please don't tell anyone else."
But Luo Chu's words tore open a crack in Wen Xuan's suspicions.
Unlike Luo Chu, he realized after careful consideration that all their conflicts with Shen Sangruo seemed to stem from Bai Mumu!
Whether it was Shen Sangri's departure that triggered him or something else, his thoughts were exceptionally clear at this moment.
Bai Mumu's behavior over the past few years kept flashing through his mind, and the more he thought about it, the uglier his face became.
"Alright, Second Senior Brother, I admit that what I just said was all nonsense."
Luo Chu thought Wen Xuan had seen through him and was about to confess when Wen Xuan's tone became more firm.
"No, Fourth Junior Brother, you're absolutely right!"
"Huh?" Luo Chu looked surprised.
"Do you remember when Junior Sister fell into the valley?" Wen Xuan's voice became agitated. "Whether Junior Sister was pushed down by Xiao Ruo or not, she knows better than anyone, but she didn't say a word!"
It turns out that Bai Mumu was the one with malicious intentions all along, and they have wronged Shen Sangruo for so many years!
Upon hearing Wen Xuan's words, Luo Chu seemed to recall something, "Right, right! It seems she didn't slip and fall accidentally in the Mirror of Memories, but rather..."
He paused, then added, "But he jumped down himself!"
"You mean, Junior Sister deliberately slandered Xiao Ruo?"
The two exchanged a glance, and both saw a sudden realization in each other's eyes.
Wen Xuan's face also lit up with hope of finding Shen Sangruo again. All the things they had done to her before were because they had been deceived by Bai Mumu, and were not their original intentions!
There is still room for maneuver between them!
At the same time, a pang of pain shot through my heart. How much injustice had Xiao Ruo suffered over the years?
Thinking of this, Wen Xuan disregarded his injuries and immediately tried to get out of bed.
"I'm going to find my master! I'll tell him about this!"
Luo Chu quickly stopped him, "Wait, wait, Second Senior Brother, don't be impulsive! The events of that year are impossible to verify, and we have no evidence."
"Master is in a bad mood right now, he won't believe you even if you tell him."
Wen Xuan felt as if he had been doused with cold water, but his eyes quickly lit up again.
The important thing is that he is no longer afraid to see Shen Sangruo.
If it weren't for Bai Mumu, he would never have ignored her and done those things to her.
Xiao Ruo's disappointment in them might stem from their bias towards Bai Mumu. If they understood her grievances and treated her as they had before, she would return.
He will definitely find Xiao Ruo!
Wen Xuan calmed down and looked at Luo Chu, "So that's why you were unwilling to contact your junior sister recently?"
Luo Chu nodded, "When Shen Sangruo left Zhenlin Peak, I noticed something was wrong."
"Thank goodness for you, otherwise we don't know how much longer we would have been kept in the dark."
Today, Luo Chu finally resolved the most painful thing in his heart, and the burden on his body seemed to disappear instantly.
"That junior sister..."
When Bai Mumu was mentioned, Wen Xuan's face lost its usual gentleness. "Just treat her normally. Don't distance yourself from her, but don't get too close either. After all, she is our junior sister."
Wen Xuan assumed that Bai Mumu was only doing this to get more attention from them.
"But Xiaoruo is the only junior sister we should truly get close to and treat well."
Their years of affection are irreplaceable.
"We were kind to our junior sister back then only to make up for it to Xiao Ruo. Now that she has received so much help over the years, Xiao Ruo and I no longer owe her anything."
Luo Chu nodded vigorously, expressing his deep agreement.
The second senior brother who manages all affairs of Zhenlin Peak and can handle anything with ease is back!
Wen Xuan added that they should not tell Feng Heyun about this yet, as he was currently in close contact with Bai Mumu and might let something slip, causing trouble.
In this way, the wounded and caregivers on both sides did not disturb each other, and life was relatively peaceful.
Of course, besides the occasional notifications from Bai Mumu about the decreasing favorability rating, which made her extremely frustrated and unable to properly heal her injuries.
However, the peace and quiet didn't last long before another piece of bad news came from Zhenlin Peak.
This time, it was Lu Shiqing.
Ever since Chen Sangri slapped him that day, Lu Shiqing has been unable to accept the outcome, and his mind has been on the verge of madness.
They began to forcibly develop a Gu poison even more potent than the Seven Emotions Gu, determined to find even the slightest trace of affection that Shen Sangri could have for them.
However, the poison exceeded the range that he could control with his current cultivation level, and countless Gu worms lost control and devoured him.
If it weren't for Master Lingxiao's timely discovery and protection with his spiritual power, he would have become nourishment for the Gu worms by now.
Now, three of the five disciples from Zhenlin Peak are bedridden and unable to get out of bed, and there's not enough time to take care of them.
Lu Shiqing's situation became even more critical. If the Gu poison in his body was not cured, the Gu worms would continue to devour his flesh and blood.
Moreover, there are many kinds of Gu worms, which combine to form even more powerful Gu poison, leaving even Master Lingxiao helpless.
Immediately, Master Lingxiao instructed Feng Heyun to take Lu Shiqing to the southwest to seek help from an old shaman there.
Luo Chu was left alone to take care of Wen Xuan and Bai Mumu.
