Why are you crying when I've severed ties? The fake heiress is leading a new sect to new height

Chapter 13: Nine Green Peaks Found
She didn't know how long she had fallen in the darkness when she felt a sharp pain in her back, as if she had hit something, and finally landed on the ground.

The view before me became brighter.

She was about to look around to see where she had landed.

Looking up, I was met with a pair of slightly angry eyes.

The other person was dressed in a black robe, with sharp eyebrows and deep, obsidian-like eyes, staring at her without saying a word.

He was still holding a broken sword in his hand, seemingly wiping it.

She then realized that she had fallen into a house.

The pain in my back just now was because I had smashed a hole in someone's roof!
Shen Sangruo looked extremely embarrassed.

She simply had her emotions detached from those people in the Flying Cloud Sect; she still had normal emotions when facing other people.

He stood up and apologized to the other person: "I'm sorry, fellow Daoist."

“I was inexplicably teleported here by a formation. I did not intend to damage your roof. I will compensate you for any damage caused.”

She placed two high-grade spirit stones on the table.

The man said nothing, but lowered his eyes and continued wiping the broken sword.

Shen Sanruo was not dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude.

In the cultivation world, those with ability are mostly eccentric and aloof.

She couldn't see through the other party's current cultivation level either.

To be precise, given her current Qi Refining Level 1 cultivation, she can't see through anyone's cultivation level.

Anyone could easily kill her like a monster.

She was new to this place and didn't even know where she was, so it was best not to make enemies.

Just as he was about to bow and take his leave, a bright female voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Senior Brother! We saw that fellow Daoist land in your courtyard! Where is he?"

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open with a "bang".

The newcomer was dressed in a dress, her chestnut-colored long hair casually tied up with a hair crown, and the smile in her eyes was as warm as a spring breeze, making her quite likable.

Upon seeing Shen Sangruo, his expression brightened even more, and he moved closer to her:

"So the destined person the sect leader was talking about is a little sister!"

He looked her up and down several more times, his eyes practically overflowing with affection.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Xiyu. I am the fourth in my sect. You look younger than me, so just call me Senior Sister Su."

"This is my senior brother, Ye Huai. He treats everyone the same way, so don't take it to heart."

Shen Sangruo gleaned several key pieces of information from Su Xiyu's words.

After realizing that the other party meant no harm, he cupped his hands in greeting and introduced himself, "Senior Sister Su, I am a disciple of the Flying Cloud Sect, and my name is Shen Sangruo."

"Senior Sister Su, where is this place? I accidentally entered a formation and was teleported here. What do you mean by 'destined person' that you mentioned?"

"Come with me first, I'll explain everything to you on the way." Su Xiyu pulled her and walked out.

Shen Sangruo was dazed and pulled outside the door, only to find herself in a sect.

However, apart from the three of them, no other disciples were seen in the sect.

"This is Ninghua Sect on Nine Green Peaks."

"Nine Green Peaks?" That was the place she was looking for.

Unexpectedly, she found it by sheer chance.

“Yes! It’s the Nine Green Peak that the sect leader sent you to find a while ago with that wisp of divine sense,” Su Xiyu added.

Since Senior Sister Su knew these things clearly, Shen Sangruo put aside her doubts.

It seems that Su Xiyu is about to take her to see the sect leader of Ninghua Sect.

That is, the benefactor who saved her life by removing her emotions when she was afflicted with the Seven Emotions Gu.

Su Xiyu quickly led her to the Sect Master's Hall.

An elderly man with white eyebrows and white hair sat in the hall with his eyes closed. He only raised his eyebrows when they entered, without opening his eyes.

"He is our sect leader, known as Daoist Wuwei. Just call him sect leader like we do," Su Xiyu said. Two other people sat to Daoist Wuwei's right.

Su Xiyu then gave her a brief introduction: "That's my second senior brother, Song Weiyan."

The elegant man in flowing white robes nodded to her.

“That’s my third senior brother, Bai Ruoan.”

The refined and gentle man kept his eyes closed for some reason.

Even with his eyes closed, he could find her direction, and he smiled slightly at her, a warm smile on his lips.

Shen Sangri responded to each question without asking any further.

"Sect Master, stop pretending! There are only a few of us here, so stop closing your eyes and acting all mysterious!"

Seeing that Wuwei Daoist had not yet opened his eyes, Su Xiyu went up to him without any politeness and shook his shoulders.

"Stop! Stop! Stop shaking me! You're going to shake my brains to a crisp!" The Taoist Master Wuwei opened his eyes, his gaze bright and piercing, showing no signs of his advanced age.

Clearing his throat to cover up his embarrassment at being exposed by Su Xiyu, he finally spoke: "So you're the little girl who picked up my Divine Sense Wood?"

Shen Sangruo clasped her hands in a fist salute to Wuwei Daoist, her voice extremely respectful: "Junior Shen Sangruo thanks Sect Master Wuwei for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have died in the confinement chamber."

"If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best."

The divine sense seeking help attached to the Xuanmu tree, the Nine Green Peaks hidden in the formation, and the strangely empty Ninghua Sect all hint at a huge conspiracy behind them.

This is so difficult that it's simply beyond her ability to solve at this moment.

But whether you can do it and whether you want to do it are two different things.

Shen Sangruo was never an ungrateful person.

The Taoist Master Wuwei nodded in satisfaction.

But after probing her strength with his divine sense, Wuwei Daoist frowned.

"You're only at the first level of Qi Refining?"

He hadn't expected her cultivation level to be high, but this was ridiculously low.

"Yes," Shen Sangruo replied without changing her expression.

“Hiss, no, the day my divine sense detected that you had clearly entered the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.”

"My cultivation was completely depleted, and then I started cultivating again." She calmly explained the process from being stripped of her emotions to having her heart's blood extracted.

After hearing this, Su Xiyu and the others found it unbelievable.

Have they been isolated for too long, and the outside world has developed into this state?

How can you act like this towards your master, uncle, and senior brother? Your buttocks are practically crooked!

"Pah! They're truly inhuman. No wonder you want to detach yourself from their feelings." The Taoist Wuwei spat.

"However, please rest assured, Sect Master Wuwei, I will definitely work hard to cultivate from now on and will not stop here."

The implication was that she would still be of some use in the future and could help him.

Seeing Shen Sangruo's determined gaze, Wuwei Daoren ultimately refrained from saying anything that might discourage her.

"Your ability to open the formation is already the greatest help you can give to me and the Ninghua Sect. It also makes up for the fact that I helped you detach from your emotions."

He was telling the truth; once the formation was activated, they would be able to connect with the outside world.

Other than that, most people can't help with these kinds of things.

Master Wuwei paused for a moment, then said, "Ahem, if you really want to help, it's not impossible."

Shen Sangruo actually saw a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Judging from your clothes, you seem to be a disciple of a sect. Um, is your sect wealthy? Are you wealthy?"

The Master Wuwei rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with golden light.

Seeing him like this, Su Xiyu helplessly slapped her forehead.

Well, the sect leader's old habit of being greedy for money has resurfaced.

Ding ding, today's update is here!
