When Bai Mumu saw Chen Sangruo behind her, her gaze suddenly froze.
"Fifth Senior Sister is here too?"
“I have severed my master-disciple relationship with her; she is not your fifth senior sister.” Master Lingxiao’s gaze was indifferent.
Bai Mumu was surprised. What happened while she was away? They had even severed their master-disciple relationship.
After a brief moment of joy that Shen Sangri was finally no longer an obstacle on Zhenlin Peak, her thoughts returned to the Fire Scale Vine.
Let them go find the Fire Scale Vine. What are those two good-for-nothings doing bringing Chen Sangruo to her?
Her old illness relapsed because Shen Sangri wanted to kill her, and because she used the power of the system to save her and Luo Chu's lives, the system's energy became unstable, and it has been unable to contact her since.
Now that Shen Sangruo is standing perfectly fine in front of her, she only feels an even tighter feeling in her chest.
Luo Chu, that loudmouth, must have already told Ling Xiao Zhenren what happened on the Xieshan Ice Plain, yet he didn't punish her?
What a piece of trash.
"Senior Sister Shen, is there something you need from Mu Mu?"
Bai Mumu maintained her usual image.
Even though they had already turned on each other and tried to kill one another.
"Of course I'm here to bring you Fire Scale Vine." Shen Sangruo's tone was unreadable.
"I never expected that what Mu Mu has been searching for is actually in Senior Sister Shen's hands. Then thank you very much, Senior Sister Shen."
Bai Mumu's hand, hidden under the blanket, had her nails digging deep into her palm.
It's not hard to figure out where Shen Sangruo's Fire Scale Vine came from. What she cares about is that Shen Sangruo has been holding the Fire Scale Vine and watching her make a fool of herself for so long.
"Don't rush to thank me. I didn't say I would give it to you directly," Chen Sangruo said calmly. "If you beg me, I will give it to you."
Bai Mumu's face was extremely pale, and her nails dug even deeper.
Who does she think she is? How dare she come up to her and act so arrogantly?
"Chen Sangruo!" Lingxiao Zhenren's patience with her had reached its limit.
She really didn't want to save Bai Mumu.
They've already granted her two requests, aren't you satisfied?
"Sang Ruo, don't overstep your bounds." Shen Daochen's face also turned cold.
"It's alright, Father and Master. I don't know where I offended Senior Sister Shen. She already gave up on Mu Mu once on the Xieshan Ice Plain. Now I can't make her angry again no matter what."
"Since Senior Sister Shen wants me to beg her, then I will kneel down and beg her." Bai Mumu made a weak gesture as if to get up.
Shen Sanruo sneered, "She really knows how to make a scene."
Bai Mumu's reminder made Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren wonder if she was deliberately refusing to help, hoping to force out Bai Mumu's cold illness and then use the Fire Scale Vine as a threat.
Shen Sanruo said they were overthinking it; she hadn't thought it that complicated. She was directly targeting Bai Mumu.
Bai Mumu's act naturally resulted in Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren stopping her and giving her a cold look.
Shen Sanruo's original purpose was not really to make Bai Mumu beg her, so she took the Fire Scale Vine out of her Qiankun Bag and handed it to Bai Mumu.
He smiled brightly at Bai Mumu, a smile that concealed murderous intent, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, there will be a time when you will come begging to me."
She was just there to let Bai Mumu know in advance that their feud and struggle had officially begun.
When Bai Mumu heard her say this, she felt that she was overestimating herself.
She can't even keep her position as a direct disciple of Master Lingxiao, so what right does she have to fight against her?
To expect her to beg her? That's wishful thinking.
In their struggle, Shen Sangruo had long since lost ground.
Shen Sanruo straightened up. "Alright, I've delivered the Fire Scale Vine, so I'll take my leave now."
She walked out of the room, and Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren followed her out.
Shen Daochen called out to her, "Sang Ruo, where are you going?"
"Naturally, I will continue to train down the mountain. Lingxiao Zhenren punished me by sending me down the mountain for three years, and only a few months have passed now."
"Remember to come back for the Young Sect Master competition in three months." After much hesitation, Shen Daochen decided to give her the qualification of a candidate.
The main reason is that Shen Sangruo's current cultivation level and rate of improvement are truly extraordinary, and he can't bear to give up.
The time for the young sect leader's competition was set after Shen Daochen decided to choose one of her and Bai Mumu, and she naturally kept it in mind.
"Thank you for informing me, Uncle. I will return on time."
If they don't come back, how can they openly and legitimately attack Bai Mumu?
After saying that, she turned to leave.
"Wait, when did I allow you to leave?" Lingxiao Zhenren persisted.
"I let many things slide before because you were my disciple. But now that you have left Zhenlin Peak, I will not let you off so easily."
He just couldn't stand how easily Shen Sangri seemed to have let go after severing their master-disciple relationship.
What right does she have to look down on him, to look down on Zhenlin Peak?
If Shen Sangruo saw Ling Xiao like this, she would know that he had fallen ill again.
Leaving will likely require considerable effort.
However, her "backup plan" should be coming soon.
Shen Daochen was quite dissatisfied with Lingxiao Zhenren, "Lingxiao, once Sang Ruo leaves, her grudges with your Zhenlin Peak will be wiped clean. Why do you still cling to her? Enough is enough."
Lingxiao Zhenren sneered, "Is this Venerable One holding on so tightly?"
It was clearly her, Chen Sangruo, who annoyed him if she hadn't been there for him.
After severing their master-disciple relationship, Master Lingxiao found her increasingly repulsive from head to toe.
"Otherwise what? It can't be that she's holding on tightly, can it?"
Anyone with eyes can see how decisively she left.
"It was my mistake. I shouldn't have introduced Sang Ruo to you back then. Wouldn't it be better to correct my mistake now?"
“You didn’t like her as your apprentice in the first place, so be straightforward. Once you’ve severed the master-apprentice relationship, don’t keep bothering her. Show some magnanimity.”
Shen Daochen's words provoked Lingxiao Zhenren, and the implication seemed to be that he was reluctant to part with Shen Sangruo.
He couldn't wait for Shen Sangri to leave, to get as far away as possible, because such a person would only tarnish his reputation at Zhenlin Peak.
But he didn't know where that spark of anger in his heart came from.
Ultimately, it can only be attributed to the fact that Shen Sangri himself is too annoying, which is why he is displeasing in every way.
While Shen Daochen was still trying to persuade Lingxiao Zhenren, a figure in cyan quietly arrived.
A figure in cyan swept past, and Shen Sanruo, who was grabbed and taken away by the Azure Phoenix Fairy, said lightly, "Uncle-Master and True Man Lingxiao can continue their conversation. I'll be going now."
By the time the two realized what was happening, Shen Sangruo had already disappeared.
"That's a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?!" Shen Daochen exclaimed in shock.
Only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could infiltrate a sect so silently, and the residual aura she left behind proved this.
"Does Sang Ruo know her?"
Master Lingxiao gritted his teeth, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, "She really does have a wild master outside!"
