"Little did they know that Junior Sister only had two purposes in participating in the competition: to lock her soul and to leave the Flying Cloud Sect. She never even considered the position of Young Sect Master."
Ye Huai's words were like a heavy hammer blow, striking the hearts of the two people outside the projection.
Luo Chu's expression was extremely grim. "How could this be... how could this happen? It turns out she wanted to leave the Flying Cloud Sect herself and did it on purpose."
"There was no such thing as being expelled from the sect. It was all her plan. She didn't want to stay in the Flying Cloud Sect, just like when she took the initiative to sever her master-disciple relationship with her master."
"Shen Daochen is a brainless idiot. If he hadn't insisted on expelling her from the sect, how could things have come to this?!"
Lu Shiqing addressed Shen Daochen by his full name, completely disregarding the fact that the other party was his elder, indicating that his dissatisfaction with Shen Daochen had reached its peak.
"Ever since my junior sister went to the Wind and Moon Spirit Ruins and suffered countless inhuman tortures at the hands of Fairy Qingluan, and obtained the power of Nirvana to rebuild my destroyed meridians, I have vowed to protect my junior sister for the rest of my life!"
"Such emotions are beyond the comprehension of an evil being like you!"
When it came to Song Weiyan, the style of painting changed drastically, but what remained unchanged was his high regard for Shen Sangruo.
"I was poisoned and I couldn't even heal myself. It was my junior sister who went to great lengths to find the Mysterious Ice Dew in the Xieshan Ice Plain, and together with various other spiritual plants, she made the Mysterious Frost Heart-Clearing Pill, which removed the poison from my body."
Remembering how Shen Sangri had taken the Xuan Shuang Qing Xin Dan and disguised it as a gift for her, afraid that she would be disappointed in the end, Su Xiyu smiled.
"Xieshan Ice Plains..." Luo Chu suddenly remembered something. He and Bai Mumu had met on Xieshan Ice Plains during their training trip.
"So, it was also for the Ninghua Sect?"
At that time, he even had the audacity to say that she had deliberately followed them and ambushed them at Xieshan Icefield.
How would Shen Sangruo silently mock him for being delusional?
Luo Chu's face immediately lost all color.
Through Ye Huai and the other three's words, they were shocked to realize that Shen Sangruo had done so many things during that time, but none of them were for them.
Why didn't they know anything about it? What were they doing at that time?
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Luo Chu's face.
For such a long time, they didn't care about Shen Sangruo's situation at all, and they didn't even know what she had done or for whom she had done it.
They are the ones who didn't care about her.
What qualifications do they have to compare with the people of Ninghua Sect?
“These are just some of the many events we’ve experienced with our junior sister, but they are certainly the most memorable for us. They represent our meeting and getting to know each other,” Su Xiyu continued.
"If only one of us can survive today, junior sister is our choice without hesitation."
"Of course, I don't think we only have this one choice today. Trusting our junior sister is our third option besides a fight to the death."
At this moment, the confidence and certainty on the faces of the four people were exactly the same.
Even Fang Yu, Ji Zicang, Lin Qianyin, and even Shi Zhili, who had just emerged from the ground, all made surprisingly consistent choices.
“If it weren’t for Sister Sang Ruo, my master, the entire Hehuan Sect, and I would have collapsed long ago. It’s time for me to sacrifice myself. It’s just a life. It’s my honor to save Sister Sang Ruo.”
“It was Ninghua Sect and Sang Ruo who gave Beast Taming Sect a place to stay. Otherwise, we would have been targeted by Beast Taming Sect and disappeared from the cultivation world long ago. I choose to stay.”
“I used to be just a rogue cultivator, and it was hard to survive in the cultivation world. I am very glad that I was invited to join Ninghua Sect and have so many like-minded partners. I am willing to let her go in return.”
“She saved me three times. I, Shi Zhili, am not an ungrateful person. Even if I had to exchange my life for hers, what would it matter? It’s my turn to save her once.”
Not only were Lu Shiqing and Luo Chu surprised by their unity, but even the consciousness within the illusion was somewhat bewildered.
Keep in mind that these individuals were all in private spaces, with absolutely no room for discussion. Even if they chose me, no one else would know.
But their choices were all the same.
What kind of magic does that person named Shen Sangruo possess that makes so many people willing to give up their lives just to have her leave?
Of course, there are also some dissenting voices.
"Are these really the only two options? Are there no other choices?" Wen Xuan kept asking.
"What kind of choice is this? It's so unreasonable to exchange so many lives for one person's life." Feng Heyun's face showed barely concealed panic. "Here's an idea for you."
"How about we exchange the lives of those Ninghua Sect members and Shi Zhili for ours and Shen Sangruo's? That would be fairer."
"You have no right to bargain. Choose: her to live, or yours?"
The illusionary consciousness repeatedly encountered obstacles with others, but sensing the hesitation of these two, it immediately intensified its efforts to shake their resolve.
Lu Shiqing originally considered the bond between his fellow disciples and did not allow Feng Heyun and Wen Xuan to face the same desperate choice.
Seeing that the people from Ninghua Sect were willing to sacrifice their lives for Chen Sangruo, he was so angry that he created the same illusion for his two senior brothers.
They just wanted to prove that they could make the same choices as those people, and that sacrificing their lives for her was nothing extraordinary.
However, reality slapped him hard in the face.
The hesitation on Feng Heyun and Wen Xuan's faces was so obvious.
"This..." Wen Xuan's expression was extremely conflicted. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "I choose Xiao Ruo. Let her live!"
"I owe Xiaoruo too much. This time, I will use my life to atone for her sins. She deserves a more brilliant and dazzling life."
Feng Heyun also made his decision: "Let Chen Sangri live. Did you hear me? I said let her live!"
"Even though she's regained her feelings for me, she still doesn't believe that I'm truly remorseful and know I was wrong. So I'll give my life to save hers. Now she should believe me."
"Remember to tell her that I saved her, and I want her to experience the taste of regret."
Seeing how the two had wavered just now, the illusory consciousness thought it had finally found a reason to kill Chen Sangruo.
Unexpectedly, these two seemingly scheming individuals were ultimately willing to sacrifice their lives for Shen Sangri.
Are these the righteous cultivators from prestigious sects? They are indeed beyond the comprehension of a pure evil cultivator like myself.
Although Feng Heyun and Wen Xuan ultimately chose Shen Sangruo, their earlier hesitation had already cost them the chance to win in the face of the Ninghua Sect's unwavering resolve.
