The fact that no message came from the Flying Cloud Sect means that Shen Sang left the sect alone.
He must not be an important figure in the sect, which is why the sect does not value him so much.
He was probably just an unknown outer disciple, yet he dared to act arrogantly in front of him, relying on the power of the Flying Cloud Sect.
Then let's go all the way and kill her, so she'll never have the chance to speak again.
Moreover, Tian Yuanshan could not easily let go of someone who had injured his son in his city.
Tian Haotian, of course, understood his father's meaning and smiled wickedly.
Tian Yuanshan suppressed the sinister look in his eyes and put on a fake smile, saying very politely, "So you are a disciple of the Flying Cloud Sect. My son was too impetuous. May I ask your name, young friend, and which peak master or elder you are a disciple of?"
Although he could already guess that Shen Sangruo's identity wasn't anything special, Tian Yuanshan still pretended to be friendly and tested her to be on the safe side.
He had seen too many people like this. Only by lifting her up to a high place and then letting her fall hard could she know despair.
He was just waiting for Shen Sangri to say a name he had never heard of before, and then he would put on a show of changing his expression on the spot.
"Chen Sangruo." She raised an eyebrow and said her name directly.
Tian Yuanshan might not know the situation of the other people in the Flying Cloud Sect, but he certainly knew everything about the sect leader, Shen Daochen.
Sure enough, she saw the murderous intent in Tian Yuanshan's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it after hearing her name.
"What's wrong with the city lord? Why does he look so pale?" Shen Sanruo pretended to be confused, deliberately asking.
Tian Haotian also didn't understand why his father didn't follow the plan and kill this person named "Chen Sangruo" directly.
He had always only known how to indulge in pleasure and carousing, and his daily attention was only paid to where there were pretty girls. Naturally, he had never heard of Shen Sangruo's name.
"Dad, what's wrong?" He tried his best to wink at Tian Yuanshan.
Do it! Kill her!
Tian Yuanshan ignored him and stared straight at the woman standing calmly with a smile on her face.
"I wonder what characters your name contains?" Tian Yuanshan still held a sliver of hope, perhaps it was just a homonym?
What a coincidence!
But Shen Sangruo's next words shattered his illusions completely.
“Then it is naturally the ‘Chen’ from Sect Master Shen.” Her words were tantamount to Tian Yuanshan explicitly revealing her identity.
Tian Yuanshan's heart finally died.
She is indeed Shen Daochen's fake daughter whom he has raised for many years.
If she were an ordinary disciple, he could naturally act without restraint and attack her at will.
But she is the sect leader's daughter. Although she is not his biological daughter, he has raised her for so many years. How could her father not know where she went after she left the sect?
Moreover, she had become a disciple of Master Lingxiao, and was backed by a large number of people, indicating a powerful background.
But what Tian Yuanshan didn't know was that there was no one behind her.
Tian Haotian was still oblivious to the situation; he only noticed that his father's expression became quite complicated after Shen Sangri mentioned Sect Master Shen.
He was utterly baffled. "What relationship do you have with Sect Leader Shen? Do you think you can claim kinship with him? You're not worthy!"
Tian Yuanshan was already in a bad mood, and he couldn't take it anymore, so he slapped Tian Haotian on the head.
"Ouch! Dad, why are you hitting me? Shouldn't you be hitting her?"
Why did they turn around and attack him? Even if his father is old, his eyesight shouldn't be that bad, right?
"Shut up!" Tian Yuanshan gritted his teeth, feeling utterly overwhelmed, and glared fiercely at Tian Haotian.
This unfilial son is already lazy and frivolous, but this time he actually dared to flirt with the daughter of the Flying Cloud Sect Master.
He then looked at Shen Sangruo; she was no pushover either!
The daughter of a sect leader is dressed so simply; isn't she afraid of losing her status as a disciple of a major sect?
She arrived in his magnificent city without a word. What? Is she going to emulate the emperors of the mortal realm who travel incognito?
Tian Yuanshan became increasingly frustrated, but he could only force a smile. This time, he had no other thoughts; all he wanted to do was to settle things peacefully.
Thinking of the possible retaliation from the Flying Cloud Sect, beads of cold sweat involuntarily slid down his forehead.
"I never expected you to be Sect Master Shen's daughter. I apologize for not greeting you properly and for any offense I may have caused. I hope you will not hold it against me."
Tian Haotian then realized that she really was Shen Daochen's daughter, and understood why his father had reacted that way.
A chill ran through me. It's over, he's finished!
If Shen Sang were to return to the sect and say something about his attempt to take advantage of her, the Feiyun Sect would definitely not allow him to go on the training trip!
Tian Haotian regretted his past actions and wished he could go back in time and chop off the man who was blinded by lust.
"Don't take it to heart?" Shen Sanruo sneered. "I had just entered the city when I was stopped and harassed by the city lord's son, who had designs on me. Do you think City Lord Tian can just let this matter go with a single sentence?"
"The city lord's son is so lawless that he dares to lay a hand on any woman in the city. This must not be the first time he has done something like this. I wonder what role the city lord has played in these incidents?"
"Is Lord Tian trying to cover for him this time as well?"
"Of course not," Tian Yuanshan said sheepishly. "My unfilial son made such a big mistake in a moment of confusion, which is also due to my failure to educate him properly."
He then sternly said to Tian Haotian, "Why don't you come over here right now and apologize to Miss Sang Ruo!"
The once arrogant Tian Haotian could only stammer, "I apologize to you. I was blind and offended Fellow Daoist Shen."
Tian Haotian couldn't say anything more. This was the limit of how much he could humble himself. When had he ever been so subservient to anyone? He also had his pride.
The implication is that if he had recognized Shen Sangruo earlier, he wouldn't have attacked her; if she were just an ordinary woman, he would still have done it.
He was apologizing for her identity, not for his own actions.
Shen Sangruo would naturally not accept such a perfunctory apology.
Before she could speak, Tian Yuanshan immediately interjected, "This rebellious son has genuinely repented, and you have already taught him a lesson by taking action and personally brought him back to the City Lord's Mansion, causing him to lose face. Such punishment should be sufficient."
"Next, I will have someone take Miss Sang Ruo to stay in the city. I will definitely treat you well and will not let anyone neglect you."
“I will take this unfilial son away and personally teach and punish him severely. Please rest assured, Miss Sang Ruo, I will not let him off lightly.”
Tian Yuanshan's words were truly brilliant; he summed up the matter in just a few words.
It seemed reasonable, but in reality, Tian Haotian was not punished at all.
As he spoke, he summoned men to swiftly and decisively take Chen Sangruo away.
But Shen Sanruo was not someone who could be easily swayed. "Wait, does Lord Tian think he can fool me with just a few words?"
