"What happened just now was all because of that demon. I was bewitched by her, which is why I attacked you," Lingxiao Zhenren explained anxiously.
Shen Sangruo sneered, her tone filled with endless coldness, "Hurt me? Wasn't your real thought at the time to kill me? You spared my life to avenge Bai Mumu and atone for your sins."
"If it weren't for Fairy Qingluan arriving in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to stand up right now."
"You've all been misled by Bai Mumu. Did she really use the system to bewitch you? Everything you did was your own doing. This is just an excuse to absolve yourselves."
She punctured Ling Xiao Zhenren's weak excuses word by word.
Lingxiao Zhenren really didn't know how to explain, "This Venerable One, This Venerable One... This Venerable One really shouldn't have hurt you, This Venerable One was wrong, This Venerable One will do his best to make it up to you in the future and give you the best things."
He really wanted to go back to that moment and slap his past self.
Why did he trust Bai Mumu so much? Why was he so ruthless towards Chen Sangruo?
But all that's left is regret, and even more regret.
Looking back now, he felt a chill of fear. If something had really happened to her, he would have gone crazy!
“I do not despise you. Before this, I was looking forward to your return to the Flying Cloud Sect every day.”
"You know that I even developed inner demons. I was truly bewitched back then. I wanted you to come back so badly, how could I have really wanted to kill you?"
“Sang Ruo, you believe in me.”
Shen Daochen also joined in the persuasion, "Father knows you have suffered a lot of injustices over the years. We were all wrong, we admit it, and we will apologize to you properly."
"Now we know you are innocent. You have always been a good child. We are the ones who have wronged you."
“Come back. I promise you, it will never happen again. You will be our most beloved child. We will give you all our love to make up for the years of grievances you have suffered.”
"And you've been working so hard to prove that the demon was involved with evil spirits, isn't that also to prove us wrong, to make us regret what we did, so that we'll treat you the same as before, and that you still care about us, right?"
"Father knows you're still angry with us, but we regret it now. Please come back."
In contrast, Feng Heyun and Lu Shiqing appeared much calmer.
Unlike the two of them, they didn't cling tightly to Chen Sangri.
Even though she had already witnessed their eccentricities at the sect competition, Qingluan Fairy was still amazed by their shamelessness.
They naively believed that if Bai Mumu died, Chen Sanruo would return and they would live happily ever after again.
He couldn't help but say, "Debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives. You two have lived for so long, don't you even understand such a simple principle?"
"All you do is talk about so-called compensation all day long, trying to easily gloss over the past?"
"Only when you have experienced all the harm she has suffered will you have the right to ask her if she forgives you."
"You!" Shen Daochen was extremely dissatisfied with Qingluan Fairy's words. How could she, an outsider, have the right to interfere in their family affairs?
He also knew how excessive their actions towards Shen Sangruo were; if they were to experience all of it, they would probably find it unbearable.
Besides, they're family, and have been together for over ten years. The biggest misunderstanding and obstacle has already been resolved by Bai Mumu, so why bother with the rest?
If there's a shortfall here, make up for it there.
But recalling the fear of being hammered by Qingluan Fairy just now, he ultimately didn't dare to say anything to Qingluan Fairy.
Instead, she said to Chen Sangruo, "She was so ruthless to Father and your Master just now. Look at what she did to us, making us lose face in front of all the disciples."
"Moreover, the origin of her cultivation level is unknown. Daughter, you'd better have less contact with her."
Shen Sanruo initially didn't want to pay attention to Shen Daochen, but when he mentioned Qingluan Fairy and belittled her in his words, she went all out against them.
Do you know why Bai Mumu died today?
She didn't answer Shen Daochen's question, but instead asked a question that seemed rather strange.
Before Shen Daochen could say anything, she continued, "Because she tried to harm Qingluan Fairy a few days ago, she died today."
The implication is that if you dare to speak ill of Qingluan Fairy, you will be the next to suffer.
His eyes glanced at Shen Daochen, the threat in his gaze self-evident.
Shen Daochen was surprised that she would defend an outsider so much. If it were in the past, he would have already put on his fatherly airs and scolded her.
But just as he was about to explode, he remembered the current situation, quickly took a deep breath, and suppressed his anger.
There's nothing we can do; they were wrong, and now we can only endure it.
The Flying Cloud Sect has suffered a calamity and is in a difficult time. If Shen Sang can return, it will be considered as mitigating the losses.
No, in Shen Daochen's view, if Shen Sang is determined to come back...
Bai Mumu is dead, even her soul has been scattered—she herself scattered it. She has avenged herself and vented her anger, so what reason does she have not to come back?
It would be best to bring back those treasures such as spiritual veins, ores, and living tea trees to help the Flying Cloud Sect overcome its difficulties.
"You child, even if you're sulking, you shouldn't speak to your father like that." Shen Daochen forced a smile, then put on a helpless look. "Come back, my little ancestor, I'm begging you."
Immortal Lord Changli: ...
Azure Phoenix Fairy: ...
This is likely retaliation against Shen Sangruo for refusing to return to the Feiyun Sect.
This sight disgusted them so much that they had nightmares about it in the middle of the night.
"Some people should stop calling themselves 'father,' it's disgusting." Of course, this was useless to Chen Sangruo; it only sharpened her blade further.
“I have no blood relation with you, and our adoptive father-daughter relationship has long been severed. Who are you to me as my father? He is not my master either.”
Her gaze swept over Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren.
“I exposed Bai Mumu for the sake of Qingluan Fairy, for the sake of Linglong Pavilion, and for the entire cultivation world. It has nothing to do with you. I never expected you to be so shameless as to take all the blame upon yourselves.”
"What Fairy Qingluan said is exactly what I think. After you have gone through it once, we can talk about what comes next."
"If you still only think about making amends, then don't appear in front of me again from now on. Stop bothering me. That would be the best compensation for me."
"My break with you has nothing to do with Bai Mumu. My attitude towards you before is the same as it will be from now on."
"Everything has been resolved. From now on, I will never set foot in the Flying Cloud Sect again."
