Inside the Flying Cloud Sect.
Lingxiao Zhenren stared at the direction where the blue light disappeared, his face grim.
A chilling smile played on his lips, his voice barely concealing his anger: "No wonder you're so eager to sever your master-disciple relationship with me, huh."
They actually abandoned him, the number one cultivator in the cultivation world, for the sake of a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Short-sighted.
Lingxiao Zhenren subconsciously regarded Qingluan Xianji as Shen Sangruo's "wild master".
He wanted to see who could transform this "stubborn rock" into a "rough gem" since even he couldn't teach her.
Master Lingxiao snorted coldly and angrily turned and left.
Although Shen Daochen was pleased that she had made friends with a powerful figure in the Nascent Soul stage, he was also quite dissatisfied with her fickle behavior.
All these actions indicate that Shen Sangruo is not a good person and is not the best candidate for the position of young sect leader.
In contrast, Bai Mumu was kind to everyone in the sect, had excellent interpersonal relationships, and was deeply loved by everyone in the Flying Cloud Sect.
As expected, those related by blood resemble him more and have the bearing of a sect leader.
If Bai Mumu could become the young sect leader, it would perhaps be the popular choice. She would have more prestige within the sect and could enhance its cohesion.
Unfortunately, she was in poor health and her talent and cultivation were not as good as Shen Sangruo's, which could be considered Shen Sangruo's only advantage.
Fortunately, they have now obtained the Fire Scale Vine, and Bai Mumu's body has fully recovered.
Let them fight for the position of young sect leader themselves.
Despite his thoughts, he had already formed a bias in his heart.
Shen Daochen glanced into the distance, shook his head, and turned to walk into the house.
Go and bring the Fire Scale Vine to the elder in the sect who refines medicine, so that he can refine spiritual medicine for Bai Mumu.
Under the medicinal effects of the Fire Scale Vine, Bai Mumu's cold symptoms were gradually cured, and she was finally able to contact the system.
Feng Heyun and the other three, who had just finished their visit to the Discipline Department, also came to see Bai Mumu.
At this moment, they were unaware that Shen Sangruo had severed her master-disciple relationship with Lingxiao Zhenren.
Wen Xuan fed Bai Mumu his specially made tonic.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother. I feel much better." Bai Mumu gave him a gentle smile.
"From now on, Junior Sister will be able to have a normal human body. It can be said that her suffering has finally come to an end." Wen Xuan smiled slightly.
The others also said a few words, expressing their concern for her.
They were all somewhat distracted, their minds seemingly preoccupied with something else.
Bai Mumu has always been the center of their attention; when has she ever been treated like this?
If it were in the past, they would have been overjoyed and celebrated Bai Mumu's recovery with great celebration.
But now, their expressions even seemed somewhat gloomy and dejected.
Bai Mumu knew without even thinking why they were acting this way—it was all because of Chen Sangruo.
Unfortunately, their fifth junior sister has already requested to leave Zhenlin Peak, and no matter how much they want to win Shen Sangruo back, it will be useless. From now on, Zhenlin Peak can only have the five of them.
Bai Mumu suppressed the resentment and frustration in her heart, maintaining a perfectly appropriate smile on her face.
Feng Heyun looked hesitant, but seeing that the groundwork had been laid, he finally spoke: "Junior Sister, do you know what happened between Fifth Junior Sister and Master and Uncle-Master that day? Where did Fifth Junior Sister go?"
All they knew was that the Fire Scale Vine was in Shen Sangruo's hands, and that after writing the letter of repentance, she was driven out by Master Lingxiao.
Although they were unaware of the cause and effect, they knew that given the temperaments of Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen, they would certainly not let Shen Sangruo, who had secretly hoarded the Fire Scale Vine, off easily.
Furthermore, since they couldn't find Shen Sangruo in the sect, they were genuinely worried that she might be punished again.
Shen Daochen was too busy with sect affairs to be found, and Lingxiao Zhenren and the others didn't dare to go looking for him, so they could only ask Bai Mumu.
Feng Heyun couldn't help but defend Shen Sangruo, "I think Fifth Junior Sister must have had some reason for doing this. She didn't intentionally not take out the Fire Scale Vine. Junior Sister, you must think so too, right?"
He looked at Bai Mumu expectantly, hoping that as long as he could gain her understanding, Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen would not pursue the matter any further.
Bai Mumu laughed inwardly. Feng Heyun, who always condemned Shen Sangruo without distinguishing right from wrong, actually had a day when he defended Shen Sangruo.
It's truly ironic.
Let her shatter their illusions, so they won't have to think about how to win Shen Sangruo back every day.
She feigned surprise quite professionally, "Senior Brother, why are you still calling Senior Sister Shen 'Fifth Junior Sister'? Don't you know she has severed her master-disciple relationship?"
"What?" the four of them exclaimed in unison.
Wen Xuan nearly dropped the bowl of medicine he was holding.
"Junior Sister, you're not joking with us, are you?" Feng Heyun forced a smile.
The words "severing the master-disciple relationship" were so unfamiliar and distant to them.
They could only see Bai Mumu's lips moving as she uttered those words; their minds went completely blank.
They never imagined that Shen Sangluo would leave Zhenlin Peak. How could that be?
"Senior Brother, don't you believe me?"
However, Bai Mumu's expression clearly didn't seem like she was joking.
An eerie silence fell over the room; no one spoke, as if they were unable to accept it and remained in shock for a long time.
Feng Heyun instantly deflated like a frostbitten eggplant, his eyes filled with undisguised surprise.
Wen Xuan pursed his lips tightly, his face appearing somewhat pale.
Ever since Chen Sangri pointed her finger at him and said that she had never been in love with him, Lu Shiqing had become increasingly taciturn. Upon hearing this news, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Luo Chu, who was in the corner, didn't say anything, but gave Bai Mumu a strange look, seemingly lost in thought.
After a long silence, Wen Xuan finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly, "I will go and beg Master to rescind his order. Zhenlin Peak cannot be without Xiao Ruo!"
He clenched his fists tightly, got up, and was about to go find Master Lingxiao.
“I’ll go with you!” Feng Heyun turned around and followed Wen Xuan.
Lu Shiqing and Luo Chu didn't say a word; their steps spoke volumes.
At this moment, the four brothers were surprisingly united for the sake of Shen Sangruo, whom they had previously disliked the most.
Even at the risk of angering True Person Lingxiao, they will make sure Shen Sangri returns to Zhenlin Peak!
"Even if Xiao Ruo made a mistake, it doesn't warrant expelling her from the sect."
"Moreover, Xiao Ruo eventually took out the Fire Scale Vine, and Junior Sister is almost recovered now, so it didn't actually have much of an impact."
"It's not serious enough to warrant expelling her from the sect. Master is too heartless towards Xiao Ruo."
It turns out that those they favor can always find all sorts of reasons to defend them.
Unfortunately, belated affection is as worthless as grass.
Their biases and favoritism were worthless in Shen Sangruo's eyes.
Even now, they still believe that it was Master Lingxiao who drove Shen Sangruo out of Zhenlin Peak.
I never imagined that Shen Sangri would leave on her own initiative.
