The four people who have regained their emotions met at the gate of the Flying Cloud Sect. They simply greeted each other and didn't say anything.
Knowing what the other was going to do, they went to Ninghua Sect together.
The four of them arrived at the gate of Ninghua Sect with immense nervousness mixed with barely suppressed excitement.
They even came up with a plausible excuse, saying that they came specifically to thank Chen Sangruo and Qingluan Changli in order to find out about Bai Mumu's affair.
But everyone knows what they're really thinking. They're just using this excuse to avoid slapping someone who's all smiles.
The appearance of these individuals immediately put Ninghua Sect on high alert.
Soon a group of people came out, led by Immortal Lord Changli, followed by Daoist Wuwei, Ye Huai and his three companions, Fang Yu and his two companions, and the elders of each branch.
It can be described as aggressive.
With such a display of force, someone unfamiliar with the situation might think they were there to start a fight.
Just kidding, their sect's precious treasure is constantly being coveted by others, so they have to stand up for themselves and drive away those who covet it.
Their gazes fell upon the four people outside the sect; they were clearly prepared.
The people from Ninghua Sect didn't know the purpose of their visit, but it was definitely not something good.
Ye Huai and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the undisguised schadenfreude in each other's eyes.
What a pity, Junior Sister isn't here. These people are probably going to have made a wasted trip today.
When Shen Daochen and the other three saw someone come out, they craned their necks to look for Shen Sangruo's figure.
Immortal Lord Changli took all of this in stride, but pretended not to see it, and spoke:
"Didn't you come here to express your gratitude? I am standing right in front of you now, so you can thank me."
At this moment, he and the others from Ninghua Sect stood on the steps, looking down at Shen Daochen and the other three.
Shen Daochen and the other three already disliked his behavior, and he deliberately put on a show of arrogance to annoy them.
His arrogant demeanor seemed to constantly remind the four of the shift in their social standing and their own decline.
The Flying Cloud Sect is no longer the Flying Cloud Sect of the past; instead, it is the Condensing Flower Sect, which is now soaring to new heights.
Everything that Ninghua Sect gained because of Shen Sangruo should have belonged to their Feiyun Sect!
Especially Lingxiao Zhenren, there is an additional layer of relationship between them: the first cultivator has been replaced.
Proud as he was, how could he tolerate it? He clenched his fists tightly.
The appearance and demeanor of Immortal Lord Changli became increasingly irritating to them.
It's obvious they didn't want them to see anyone, which is why they said those things, deliberately trying to humiliate them.
However, since Shen Sanruo is still within Ninghua Sect, they cannot act rashly for the time being.
Shen Daochen had no choice but to suppress his anger and force a smile.
"Why is it only Immortal Lord Changli who is here, and not Immortal Lady Sangruo or Immortal Lady Qingluan?"
No matter what, even if they throw a tantrum, they will see Shen Sangruo today.
"We should call them out as well, so we can thank them all at once. Surely Immortal Lord Changli wouldn't forbid us from expressing our gratitude in person?"
The "gift of gratitude" they had specially prepared had to be handed to Shen Sangruo in person.
The implication was that the Yin Yang Ning Hua Sect was deliberately preventing them from seeing anyone.
Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Changli also became interested and followed their lead:
"Speak your mind, and I will convey it to you both."
Shen Daochen and the others had an "I knew it" look on their faces, and immediately began to question why they were not allowed to see anyone.
They said that Ninghua Sect had ulterior motives, and that Ninghua Sect was guilty and afraid, so they dared not let them see Chen Sangruo.
They also said that Ninghua was judging others by her own petty standards; they simply wanted to express their gratitude and had no other intentions.
Seeing the four of them lose their composure in anger, the Ninghua Sect members almost burst out laughing.
Immortal Lord Changli coughed lightly, and the low laughter stopped.
Having lost the will to continue entangled with Shen Daochen and the others, he said directly:
"I haven't even finished speaking yet. You've come at the wrong time. They're not in the sect. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Without a second thought, Shen Daochen and the other three felt that Immortal Lord Changli was deceiving them.
Their resentment towards Ninghua Sect was even stronger. In order to prevent them from seeing Chen Sangruo, they even came up with such a lame excuse. It was truly despicable and shameless.
Don't think they don't know. This is a crucial period for the development of Ninghua Sect. As the young sect leader, and with such concern for this dilapidated sect, how could Shen Sangru not be within the sect?
They wanted to argue further, but the Ninghua Sect members were too lazy to pay attention to them. They didn't care whether the others believed them or not, and simply activated the restriction and retreated back into the sect.
The four people were left standing there, at a loss.
They firmly believed that Shen Sangri was inside the Ninghua Sect, but was being prevented from coming out to see them by the people of the Ninghua Sect.
Finding their lost love was like an arrow already on the bowstring; they were so eager that they couldn't accept this outcome.
"This is outrageous! They won't even let us see them!" Shen Daochen angrily flung his sleeves.
"Who do they think they are? If they hadn't taken advantage of our conflict with Shen Sangruo, she wouldn't have given them a second glance!" Feng Heyun said indignantly. "Now they're putting on airs in front of us, acting all innocent after getting the benefits!"
"Do they think they can just say they're not in the sect because they're not?" Lu Shiqing gritted his teeth, his face filled with gloom and stubbornness. "I refuse to believe it!"
"I will wait here until she comes out!"
He didn't believe that Shen Sang could stay in Ninghua Sect forever; he was determined to personally hand that storage bag to her!
Lingxiao Zhenren, with a cold expression, agreed with Lu Shiqing's words, and uttered only one word: "Wait."
From then on, every day, the people of Ninghua Sect could see these four people standing neatly in front of the sect's gate.
Like a door god, it stands there regardless of wind or rain, as if it won't leave until it sees Chen Sangruo.
Later on, they even set up camp next to Ninghua Sect.
Those passing by from the Ninghua Sect were discussing it amongst themselves, truly unable to understand their behavior.
The Flying Cloud Sect has just suffered such a disaster, and the sect leader and the pillars of the sect are not looking after their own sect, but instead running to Ninghua Sect to act as gatekeepers.
Have they all gone mad?
However, Shen Daochen and the other three felt good.
They owe her all of this. They said they would make it up to her and give her the best, even the Flying Cloud Sect couldn't compare to her.
They had all gone to such lengths for her, setting aside their pride, and they believed that Shen Sangruo would surely sense their sincerity and be willing to come out and see them.
Instead of Shen Sangruo, they were greeted by people from the Weapon Refining Sect and the Alchemy Sect who had come specifically to check in after hearing that they were acting as gatekeepers here.
Their "earth-shattering" deeds have spread throughout the entire cultivation world.
"It's actually here! Come on, let's take a picture!"
Seeing the people from both factions holding up photo stones for them, they felt like they had become monkeys for everyone to watch, and their faces turned black with anger.
