The amount of information conveyed in those few words shocked the four of them.
The gazes directed at Chen Sangruo were filled with complex emotions.
Feng Heyun wanted to say something, but remembering what he had done to Chen Sangruo, he guiltily shut his mouth.
Upon hearing that the Fire Scale Vine was on her, Wen Xuan was first taken aback, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips, and in the end he did not say anything harsh.
What surprised Shen Sangruo the most was Lu Shiqing.
He was born with a handsome appearance and was once the object of affection for countless female disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect. He was always very conscious of his image.
At this moment, Lu Shiqing looked haggard and thin, with faint stubble on his beard, and his eyes were fixed on her.
In the past, he wouldn't even spare her a glance, which Chen Sangruo found inexplicable.
Of the four, only Luo Chu reacted the most strongly. He almost immediately rebuked Ling Xiao Zhenren after hearing his words:
"You, Chen Sangruo, stood by and watched us die during the avalanche last time, and you even kept the Fire Scale Vine that saved Junior Sister's life hidden away."
"I'm really confused. What did Junior Sister ever do to you? Why do you hate her so much? Is it just because you're jealous that she's taking our attention away from you?"
"Let me tell you, we like our junior sister because she deserves it. A vicious person like you will never be as good as our junior sister."
"You want us to write you a letter of repentance? Why don't you write a letter of repentance for your junior sister?"
These days, he is constantly worried about Bai Mumu's condition, while Chen Sangri is carefree, wandering around with the Fire Scale Vine, completely disregarding their master-disciple relationship.
Luo Chu's attitude towards her was so bad that Shen Daochen frowned slightly. He had never paid attention to Shen Sangruo's situation on Zhenlin Peak, and thought that her relationship with her senior brothers was at least harmonious.
"Are you done talking?" Shen Sangruo was unusually calm, which made Luo Chu seem like a joke jumping around.
"Don't look at me like that!" Luo Chu gritted her teeth.
The same pitying look in his eyes as it had been on the icy plains of Xieshan made Luo Chu break down.
He couldn't understand why Shen Sangri always looked at him like that, when she was the one who was more pitiful.
"Enough." Wen Xuan pulled Luo Chu back and looked at Shen Sangruo. "If we write a letter of repentance, will you take out the Fire Scale Vine, Xiao Ruo?"
"Yes," Shen Sangruo answered readily.
“Okay, let’s write.” Wen Xuan’s smile grew increasingly bitter.
They already owed Shen Sangruo too much, and should have apologized to her long ago.
If they had realized their mistakes sooner, their relationship wouldn't have ended up like this.
He looked into Shen Sangruo's calm eyes, yet his heart still ached uncontrollably.
"Second Senior Brother?" Luo Chu grabbed Wen Xuan's sleeve in disbelief, but Wen Xuan pulled her away with his other hand.
Luo Chu then looked at Lu Shiqing, who was the most likely to join him in opposing the movement. However, Lu Shiqing didn't even glance at Luo Chu, his eyes seemingly fixed only on Chen Sangruo.
Wen Xuan's words and the reactions of the others successfully made Lingxiao Zhenren sense something was amiss.
Could it be that they really did something to wrong Shen Sangruo?
He frowned and stared intently, observing the situation.
Wen Xuan brought his index and middle fingers together, gathering spiritual energy at his fingertips, and wrote semi-transparent characters in the air.
"A misunderstanding led to Fifth Junior Sister pushing Junior Sister off the valley..."
Chen Sangruo interrupted, "Chen Sangruo."
She is no longer their fifth junior sister.
Wen Xuan assumed that she had asked for it to be written more formally, so he changed the form of address to Chen Sangruo.
Then he wrote down the story of how he locked her in the confinement room and forced her to confess, without noticing that her cultivation was unstable, and how he forcibly took her heart's blood, causing her to lose all her cultivation.
Master Lingxiao frowned. This matter concerned everyone present. Wen Xuan's actions were to include him and Shen Daochen on the list of those to repent.
But I figured it was just another one of those old, trivial matters.
Wen Xuan continued writing about the jade token and many other things he had overlooked about Shen Sangruo. In their eyes, these were nothing, and they still did not feel that Wen Xuan and the others owed Shen Sangruo anything.
When he got to Feng Heyun, he hardened his heart and followed Wen Xuan's example, writing in the air, accidentally severely injuring Shen Sangruo.
"I'm sorry," Feng Heyun apologized loudly to her.
Isn't the reason she's ignoring him just because he only gave her osmanthus wine and didn't apologize to her in person?
Today, he abandoned his pride and went all out to sincerely apologize to her in front of so many people. She should be over her anger now.
Shen Sanruo found it amusing that Feng Heyun still thought she was distancing herself from him simply because he had injured her.
He didn't think it was wrong of him to threaten and pressure her to help him manage the brewery, or to deliberately make those "jokes" with her.
She didn't care; all she needed to do was injure her to make Feng Heyun despised by the world.
What Shen Sang wanted was nothing more than leverage over the four of them.
The matter that Feng Heyun mentioned was known to both Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen.
When it was Lu Shiqing's turn, he remained silent, only moving his fingers continuously.
The image clearly showed that he shouldn't have planted the Seven Emotions Gu on Shen Sangri while she was in confinement, forcing her to confess her crimes.
If he hadn't planted the Seven Emotions Gu, how could Shen Sangri have become the cold and ruthless person she is now?
He believed the mistake was that the Seven Emotions Gu had altered emotions that shouldn't have been changed, not that he had planted the Seven Emotions Gu in Chen Sangri.
Upon hearing this, Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen showed surprise on their faces, as they naturally knew what the Seven Emotions Gu was.
Such torturous things are usually used to deal with people with deep-seated hatred.
Lu Shiqing actually put it on his junior sister, especially since she was in the confinement room at the time.
No wonder, no wonder Shen Sangruo's personality changed drastically after she came out of the confinement room.
The two looked rather grim, and Master Lingxiao glared fiercely at Lu Shiqing.
Shen Sangruo was clearly dissatisfied with what Lu Shiqing had written.
"You've finished writing?"
Lu Shiqing looked at her, his eyes filled with inexplicable pain and regret, but he made no further move.
"This isn't the first time you've used the Seven Emotions Gu on me."
"Four years ago, you thought I had developed feelings for you that I shouldn't have, so you planted the Seven Emotions Gu on me for seven days and seven nights."
“A few months ago, you gave two Seven Emotions Gu to Luo Chu, asking him to attack me.”
"Lu Shiqing, have you forgotten all of this?"
As she recounted the events one by one, the expressions on Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen's faces grew increasingly grim, even shocking.
Lu Shiqing had used the Seven Emotions Gu, such an extremely vicious thing, on Chen Sangruo more than once.
Her fellow disciple, Lu Shiqing, should have been the person Shen Sanruo trusted and relied on the most, but he became her nightmare.
“Both times there were reasons for it…” Lu Shiqing’s face was as pale as paper.
"There's a reason for this?" Shen Sanruo laughed, her eyes chillingly cold, as if she had heard a joke.
"The first time you used the Seven Emotions Gu on me was because you subjectively assumed that I was in love with you, so you took such a cruel step against me, calling it 'correcting'?"
