"Chen Sangruo?!" Feng Heyun's voice was filled with surprise and excitement, and he almost threw Lu Shiqing behind him.
Then he shook Lu Shiqing frantically, "Third Junior Brother, wake up! We've run into Chen Sangruo!"
It almost shook Lu Shiqing's brains to its core.
Even so, Lu Shiqing forced himself to open his eyes, just to catch a glimpse of Chen Sangri.
And Shen Sangruo: ...
After a moment of silence, her gaze fell on Lu Shiqing, whose entire face was an eerie purple.
She raised an eyebrow. How did Lu Shiqing end up like this?
Feng Heyun noticed her gaze and explained, "Third Junior Brother failed in his Gu refining and was devoured by the Gu worms."
"He's barely clinging to life now. My master told me to take him to Wuqing Village to find the old shaman to save him."
A hint of regret flashed in Shen Sangruo's eyes; she was still alive.
However, she was curious as to why he was attacked by the Gu worm. Her intuition told her that it must be related to the day Lu Shiqing came to ambush her.
A hint of mockery gradually crept into his eyes.
Lu Shiqing kept his eyes on her, naturally not missing any of her expressions. His eyes darkened, revealing his inner turmoil.
She composed herself. Were these two also going to find the old wizard?
The old wizard only received a very small number of people each time, so at this moment they became competitors.
She subtly squeezed the mulberry leaf handkerchief in her hand.
Feng Heyun was completely unaware of this and was still immersed in the surprise of meeting her.
Seeing that she had no reaction to Lu Shiqing being attacked by the Gu worm, she just thought to herself that he deserved it, since Lu Shiqing hadn't given Chen Sangruo a kind look in the past.
Then the topic returned to Shen Sangruo, "Then why are you here? You're so carefree, just leaving like that."
"Do you know how much we all miss you?" Feng Heyun said awkwardly, his face stern.
He's never been good at swallowing his pride and being straightforward, but this time he's going all out for Chen Sangri.
"Are you satisfied with what you said? I admit, we really can't do without you, you are indeed important to us."
"So don't be angry. We will treat you the same as before and won't let you suffer any more grievances."
"Go back and apologize to Sect Leader Shen. You two have such a long-standing father-daughter relationship, he won't really be so heartless as to abandon you."
"I'm also trying my best to persuade your junior sister, and she will plead for you in the end."
"How have you been since you left the Flying Cloud Sect? It probably hasn't been very good, has it?"
"Come back, come back to the Flying Cloud Sect."
First, return to the Flying Cloud Sect, then figure out a way to get back to Zhenlin Peak.
Feng Heyun thought his words would move Shen Sanruo, since he had personally said that she was very important to them.
What she wants is their attention and affirmation, isn't it?
She didn't want to leave the Flying Cloud Sect either, did she? Now that they've compromised, it's naturally a happy ending for everyone.
Shen Sanruo felt like he was still dreaming. When would they finally understand that she had truly severed ties with them?
She's already the young sect leader of Ninghua Sect, and they still think she can return to Feiyun Sect?
Feng Heyun's words had so many flaws that she didn't know where to begin.
She sneered, "I have nothing to do with you anymore, why should I tell two strangers why I came here?"
"Is it a good thing to be cared about by you? Sorry, I don't need something so useless."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm doing very well since leaving the Flying Cloud Sect. It's better than the previous ten years."
"Furthermore, I have joined a new sect and will never be able to return to the Flying Cloud Sect."
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Heyun shouted, "How could you possibly join a new sect?"
She's not doing well at all. She left the Flying Cloud Sect, so she's definitely unwilling to admit her predicament and is just putting on a brave face.
"We've already humbled ourselves so much, and you're still not satisfied? You still have to make fun of us like this. This joke isn't funny at all," he said in a muffled voice, his tone full of frustration.
He felt that leaving the Flying Cloud Sect was the limit of Shen Sangruo's resolve. If she joined a new sect, how could she return to the Flying Cloud Sect? Then everything she had done before would have been meaningless.
Besides, which sect would dare to accept a disciple expelled from the Flying Cloud Sect?
Without a second thought, Feng Heyun felt that Shen Sang was lying to him.
Lu Shiqing had already seen Shen Sanruo's cold demeanor before, and in his heart he was still mocking Feng Heyun's stupidity and naivety.
If she weren't afraid that Ninghua Sect would make enemies of Feiyun Sect in advance, she would have liked to slap Ninghua Sect's token hard on Feng Heyun's forehead.
It shattered the stubbornness and opinion that was inherited from the Zhenlin Peak lineage in him.
"We've come at just the right time. Let's escort our third junior brother to find the old wizard together."
"Let's put aside the matter of returning to the Flying Cloud Sect for now, but you can't just stand by and watch him die, can you? Even though he didn't treat you well before, he was still your former senior brother."
Shen Sanruo twitched the corner of her mouth. Let alone leaving someone to die, it would be merciful of her not to add fuel to the fire.
Of course, she was not merciful; she wouldn't let them compete with her for the chance to see the old wizard.
Feng Heyun raised his hand to wipe away the raindrops that had slid down his face, his gaze falling on the handkerchief in Chen Sangruo's hand.
"This is perfect, let me borrow it to wipe the raindrops." He said, stretching out his hand towards the mulberry leaf handkerchief.
Even if Shen Sangruo reacted in time to dodge, the mulberry leaf handkerchief was still soaked with water from Feng Heyun's hands.
She glanced at the water stain with disgust, carefully using her spiritual power to dry it, a surge of anger quietly rising in her heart.
Feng Heyun remained oblivious to this, and even complained, "Hey, why are you dodging me? You won't even give me a handkerchief, how can you be so cold-hearted..."
Shen Sanruo raised her eyes, her eyes filled with killing intent, exactly the same look Feng Heyun had seen when she looked at Bai Mumu that day.
He suddenly fell silent, a chill running down his spine.
Then, seemingly feeling embarrassed that he had been frightened by her gaze, he put on the airs of the former senior brother.
Somewhat angrily, he said, "It's just a handkerchief! It's not a big deal, why are you so upset?"
"What? Is our years of brotherhood and sisterhood really less valuable than a tattered handkerchief?"
Lu Shiqing frowned immediately. In the past, Shen Sanruo would only treasure the things they gave her.
His gloomy eyes were fixed on the handkerchief, on which were embroidered delicate mulberry leaves, making it easy to see that it was carefully prepared by the giver.
The previous calm was finally shattered. The greater the emotional fluctuations, the more frantically the Gu worms in his body would devour him.
He was breathing heavily, ignoring the pain in his body, and his expression had become frantic.
Who gave her that handkerchief?!
