Hearing the countdown ending, Shen Daochen felt inexplicably nervous.
The token was handed to her. "Alright, you can have it for now."
I'll have to give it to her sooner or later anyway, so I might as well give it to her while she's still willing to accept it, to avoid having to force her later.
Shen Daochen didn't want their relationship to become even more strained, damaging the bond between father and daughter.
"One." She lowered the last finger. "Time's up."
There are still three people who haven't given her the things that helped them regain their emotions.
She has given them a chance, and if they fail to seize it, then it is no longer her concern.
Luo Chu looked somewhat anxious, but seeing the calm Ling Xiao Zhenren beside her, she felt relieved; she couldn't leave.
Only Wen Xuan's face was bitter; he feared he would never be able to win back Xiao Ruo's feelings for him, and he was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
As the countdown ended, Chen Sanruo showed no lingering attachment and said to the others, "Let's go."
Master Lingxiao frowned and, as expected, blocked her way.
I never expected her to actually leave. Has she not yet realized her situation?
Also blocking her way was Shen Daochen, whose expression was much uglier, even showing a hint of surprise.
Even though the young sect leader's token has already been handed to her, why does she still look so cold and distant?
The Young Sect Master's token, the mulberry wine, and Lu Shiqing's insects are all different.
The mulberry wine needs to be drunk, and the insects need to be checked by opening the storage bag.
The moment the Young Sect Master's token was handed to Shen Sangruo, it signified that her identity had been transformed and was effective immediately.
Logically speaking, she should have already regained her feelings for him.
Is it because she's not yet a disciple of the Flying Cloud Sect? Or is it because a ceremony to recognize her as the Young Sect Master is needed? Or is the position of Young Sect Master not the key to winning back her affections?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Daochen's mind.
He considered every possibility, but he never imagined that even if Shen Sangruo regained her emotions, she would still treat him this way.
But this time, Shen Daochen's guess was correct; she did not regain her emotions.
I felt nothing; the part of my emotions related to Shen Daochen remained a hazy, gray mess.
She curled her lips into a sneer, her tone mocking, "It seems Sect Leader Shen hasn't found a true way to win back my feelings."
It's a pity, he was given the opportunity, but he didn't live up to it.
Hearing her answer, Shen Daochen breathed a sigh of relief, and his panic subsided.
Thankfully, it turned out just as he expected, rather than him having already rekindled his feelings.
But that made it even more impossible for him to let Chen Sangri leave.
“Sang Ruo, you can’t leave. Come back to Feiyun Sect with me. Only by making you the true young sect master can you regain your feelings.”
Lingxiao Zhenren's hands had already gathered spiritual power.
Even though his cultivation was stolen, his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation was still not to be underestimated, and gusts of wind swept across the scene.
He uttered ambiguous words, "We can't delay any longer; we must return with you right now."
The longer it is delayed, the greater the damage that changing the cultivation method will cause her.
"I'm doing this for your own good."
Shen Sangruo's expression also turned cold, but she showed no panic. "I said I would only give you five numbers."
The implication was that the countdown was over, her patience with them had run out, and they couldn't stop her anymore.
Without saying another word, he addressed the person beside him with eyes that were a mixture of blue and gold: "Qiyan."
Qi Yan had long disliked these people, but if Shen Sang hadn't called him, he wouldn't have been able to come out and do anything.
Now that they had been granted permission, they were finally able to stand in front of the two people who were blocking Shen Sangruo's way.
If he weren't limited to judging evildoers, he would have truly wanted to put these people to trial on the spot.
Why can't they add a disgusting "judgment" function to the Five Divine Beasts' permissions?
Qi Yan immediately said in a very impolite tone, "Get out of the way."
The ferocity in his eyes was undisguised; he didn't take Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen seriously at all.
Qi Yan's unique eyes and temperament attracted their attention from the very beginning.
However, they did not fully understand this person's cultivation level, and since they were focused on Shen Sangruo, they overlooked him, assuming that he was someone similar to Daoist Jingxin and the others.
Because of the damage to their souls, Daoist Jingxin and the others have temporarily lost their cultivation.
The cultivation level of the Five Divine Beasts is measured in a rather unique way, similar to the Heavenly Dao, without any specific division.
Otherwise, they would not be able to exist in the cultivation world at all; once they surpass the Void Refinement realm, they would go to the Transitional realm.
Therefore, Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen could not figure it out.
Looking at the arrogant Qi Yan before him, Master Lingxiao sneered.
"It's truly as if anyone dares to be so insolent in front of me."
“Sang Ruo, do you want someone with no cultivation to stop us?” Even Chen Daochen spoke up.
Shen Sangruo smiled without saying a word, only anticipating what was to come.
A ruthless glint flashed in Qi Yan's eyes. You should know that when he was in Misty Dark Valley, even the leader of the radical faction had to treat him like royalty.
Apart from Shen Sangruo, no one has ever been looked down upon like this before.
If Shen Sang can remove the influence of demonic energy from him, what are these two people?
Wisps of black mist emanated from his body. He was still a demonic beast, and his demonic energy easily overwhelmed the spiritual power of Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen.
The two men's expressions immediately turned to astonishment, realizing that something was wrong.
Qi Yan smirked and said to the two men, “What do you mean by ‘people without cultivation’? You should address me as ‘Young Master Qi Yan’.”
A thick black mist enveloped the six people, forming a vortex.
Inside the vortex, the air currents swirled rapidly. Even though Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen resisted with all their might, they couldn't withstand the blades formed by the black mist that slashed across their bodies, leaving numerous wounds.
Not to mention Feng Heyun and the others, they couldn't even keep their balance and were being blown around wildly in the vortex.
Painful howls emanated from within the vortex.
Now I finally understand why Shen Sangri was able to say those words so calmly. I never expected that she had such a person by her side!
Even Lingxiao Zhenren could be easily suppressed.
Qi Yan's slender fingers slowly rotated, cruelly toying with the people in the vortex.
He slightly raised his chin, seemingly quite satisfied with his masterpiece, and said to the people inside the vortex, "Did you understand?"
You should call him Young Master Qiyan.
"Sang Ruo! Can you bear to watch him treat us like this? It hurts your former father, senior brother, and master!" Shen Daochen shouted.
With a smile, Shen Sanruo replied lightly, "I can bear it."
Seeing how cruel and indifferent she was to them, it would be impossible for them not to feel sad and disappointed.
Wen Xuan gave up resisting, letting the energy blades sweep over his entire body, a state of utter despair that he had maintained for some time.
"That's enough, we should head back to Ninghua Sect." Chen Sanruo withdrew her gaze and said to Qiyan.
Qi Yan seemed to have had enough fun, but he had no choice but to obey. With a flick of his finger, the vortex swept the six of them away in a parabolic arc.
He said, "If you don't learn your lesson next time, I won't let it go so easily."
