Shen Sanruo noticed that Lu Shiqing kept looking at her with strange eyes along the way.
In the past, she might have been secretly pleased for a long time, but at this moment she pretended not to see it.
Lu Shiqing frowned.
Suspicion lingered in Shen Sangruo's expression, which seemed unusually calm.
The reason he thought this way was because he had previously used a similar curse on Chen Sangruo.
If Shen Sanruo developed feelings for him that went beyond those of a senior brother, he had no choice but to use a Gu worm to correct her.
That time, he left the Gu worm inside her body for seven days. When he saw Shen Sangruo again after seven days, her expression was still one of extreme pain.
At the time, he felt that Shen Sangruo was stubborn and incorrigible, with her wicked love rooted in her heart, and even the love potion was useless against her, so he felt a lot of disgust towards her.
Fortunately, Shen Sanruo avoided him for a long time afterward and dared not overstep his bounds, which changed his opinion of her somewhat.
That's why Shen Sangruo was so afraid when she saw Lu Shiqing in the confinement room.
Why did the Seven Emotions Gu stop working after only one day?
If he hadn't taken back the Gu worm of the Seven Emotions Gu, he would have thought that Shen Sangluo had used some method to force the Gu worm out.
Has Shen Sangruo finally figured it out?
Lu Shiqing rejected it without even thinking. How could Shen Sangruo possibly understand after arguing with them for so long?
He preferred to believe that the Gu worms he had created had failed.
Wen Xuan walked ahead, unaware of the complex expressions on Lu Shiqing's face behind him.
Upon arriving at Lingxiao Zhenren's cave, Wen Xuan respectfully clasped his hands in greeting: "Master, we have brought Fifth Junior Sister back, and she has already admitted her mistake."
Inside the cave, besides True Person Lingxiao, there was also Shen Daochen and Bai Mumu, who was sitting on a soft couch and looked extremely weak.
"Master, Uncle-Master, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishment." Shen Sanruo said without changing her expression.
Within the sect, Shen Daochen never allowed her to call him "father," but instead addressed him as "uncle-master."
It is said that once you enter the sect, you will only be an ordinary disciple and will not be able to enjoy any special privileges.
If Bai Mumu hadn't called him "Daddy" every day afterward, she would have truly believed it.
At this moment, Shen Daochen was looking at her with a livid expression.
Lingxiao Zhenren on the seat didn't even bother to open his eyelids, only grunting as if he didn't want to see her.
"Alright, let's begin. Take ten drops of your heart's blood."
If Shen Sang has a single fire spiritual root, and Bai Mumu has an extremely cold constitution, then her heart's blood is the best spiritual medicine to nourish her constitution.
"No, no need, Master. I'm already fully recovered. Ten drops of heart's blood might damage Senior Sister's foundation," Bai Mumu pleaded softly on her behalf.
Bai Mumu's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her almond-shaped eyes were moist; anyone who saw her would feel an urge to protect her.
"Mu Mu, don't be willful. You fell into the valley because of her. The valley is cold. What if the coldness returns in the future?" Shen Daochen said with a stern face.
It's a small matter if Shen Sang admits his mistake, but it's a big matter to get Bai Mumu's heart's blood back.
There were no other witnesses present when Bai Mumu fell into the valley, and Shen Sangruo had been vehemently denying her mistake.
They had no legitimate reason to take the heart's blood; only if Shen Sang admits his mistake now would they have a suitable reason.
“I said I am willing to accept any punishment, junior sister, please don’t refuse anymore.” Chen Sangruo’s voice broke the scene of their fatherly love and filial piety.
All eyes fell on her, and they found her expression indifferent, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with them.
Before they could think it through, she had already sat cross-legged on the prepared stone bench.
Wen Xuan was a medical practitioner, so he was the one to collect the heart's blood.
The gleaming silver needle pierced Shen Sangruo's heart. She gritted her teeth, frowned, and couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
Wen Xuan was somewhat annoyed. The process of drawing blood from the heart was extremely painful, and he had actually forgotten to prepare a numbing agent for his fifth junior sister.
He immediately quickened his pace, collecting drops of heart's blood, enveloped in spiritual energy, into a white porcelain bottle.
As her heart blood flowed out, her face turned deathly pale, almost devoid of color.
Confined in a cell, subjected to the Seven Emotions Gu, and given her heart's blood, she had endured so much torment in just two days, and her body was nearing its limit.
Seeing that the blood from his heart had been removed, Shen Daochen's stern face revealed a hint of a smile.
A fleeting look of ecstasy crossed Bai Mumu's eyes.
"Master, Uncle-Master, the heart's blood has been collected, so please forgive Fifth Junior Sister. I will definitely teach her more in the future."
Wen Xuan used his spiritual power to deliver the white porcelain bottle to Lingxiao Zhenren.
"Well, let's leave it at that this time. If there's a next time, I'll expel you from the sect." Master Lingxiao coldly swept his gaze over Shen Sangruo.
Shen Sanruo took a deep breath to suppress the dizziness, "Disciple thanks Master. From now on, disciple will no longer owe the sect for its teaching and nurturing."
Her words made the people present frown, and they were about to scold her for being stubborn and willful when...
A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted from her mouth.
Immediately afterwards, her dantian deflated like a punctured balloon, and her spiritual energy poured out recklessly!
Everyone stared wide-eyed at this sudden turn of events.
The first to react was Lu Shiqing, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines. He stepped forward and caught the swaying and fainting Shen Sangruo.
"Chen Sangruo! What trick are you playing now?! Are you out of your mind?!"
Immediately, Lingxiao Zhenren, who was seated, soared into the air and landed in front of Shen Sangruo. He waved his hand and used his spiritual power to seal Shen Sangruo's dantian. A trace of panic flashed across his ethereal face.
"Fifth Junior Sister!" Wen Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.
Shen Daochen rushed over, "What happened to Ruoruo?! Why did she suddenly vomit blood?"
The vomiting of blood was secondary; what worried them more was the spiritual power that Chen Sangri was leaking out.
Lingxiao Zhenren used his spiritual power to examine Shen Sangruo's condition, and his expression became extremely solemn.
His face was ashen as he looked at Wen Xuan, who was filled with worry. "She has just entered the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and her cultivation is unstable. Taking her heart's blood now is just an attempt to cripple her."
His words implied that he was scolding Wen Xuan for taking blood at this time.
Master Lingxiao has been focused on teaching Bai Mumu and has no time to pay attention to Shen Sangruo. Naturally, his senior brothers know more about her cultivation than he does.
Wen Xuan froze upon hearing Ling Xiao Zhenren's words. "W-what? Fifth Junior Sister just broke through?"
If he had known that Sang Ruoruo had just broken through, he certainly wouldn't have taken her heart's blood at this moment.
But he... didn't know.
"Chen Sangruo has broken through?" Lu Shiqing also showed a surprised expression.
Clearly, he was unaware that she had made a breakthrough.
Lingxiao Zhenren felt a surge of annoyance. His fellow disciples didn't even know about his junior sister's cultivation progress.
Not to mention the eldest senior brother who's somewhere drinking and having fun, and the fourth senior brother who's running around like a madman.
Just as he was about to lash out, he heard Shen Daochen ask in a daze, "When did Sang Ru break through? What level has she reached?"
Master Lingxiao suppressed the urge to send his two disciples flying and rubbed his temples.
And he has an even more unreliable father!
Bai Mumu walked over slowly, feigning concern, and asked, "How is Fifth Senior Sister now?"
Lingxiao Zhenren said in a heavy tone, "Her... cultivation has been completely dissipated."
"What?!" Lu Shiqing exclaimed in surprise, staring intently at Shen Sangruo, who had fainted in his arms.
The faces of the group of people were extremely grim.
At this moment, they finally understood what Shen Sangruo meant by her previous words!
