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

Chapter 4 The truth emerges
As spiritual energy slowly flowed into the Mirror of Past Events, Bai Mumu felt like she was dying.

Looking at the huge image projected by the Mirror of the Past, Shen Sangruo became more curious. What would they say after they knew the truth?
Lingxiao Zhenren quickly determined the time of the incident, and two people appeared in the video.

It was Shen Sangruo and Bai Mumu.

The mirror of the past can only show the scene, not the sound.

All that could be seen was Bai Mumu seemingly saying something to Shen Sangruo, before walking alone towards the cliff and leaping off!
Throughout the entire process, Shen Sangruo maintained a distance of more than two arm's lengths from Bai Mumu, unable to even touch the hem of Bai Mumu's clothes.

Even after Bai Mumu fell into the valley, Shen Sangruo immediately jumped down into the valley as well.

So in the end, it was Shen Sangri who carried Bai Mumu back to the sect.

As soon as she opened her mouth to say that Bai Mumu had fallen into the valley, they flew into a rage, convinced that she was responsible.

No matter how she explained, no one believed her.

But now, having seen the truth, they fell silent.

Shen Daochen, Lingxiao Zhenren, Wen Xuan, and Lu Shiqing all looked extremely grim.

Wen Xuan, who was already blaming himself for causing her to lose all her cultivation, was struck dumb.

His lips kept opening and closing, but he couldn't utter a word.

He only had a reason to take her heart's blood because Shen Sangri made a mistake.

Even if Shen Sangruo's cultivation is completely dissipated, he can comfort himself that she was in the wrong first.

But now...

She didn't do anything...

Wen Xuan's face suddenly turned pale.

The others naturally thought of this as well.

They are Shen Sangruo's father, master, and senior brother, the people she respects and trusts the most.

But without listening to her explanation or even providing any evidence, they threw her into a place like a confinement cell.

In their words, Shen Sangruo was the most spoiled.

In the past, whenever she suffered a minor injustice, she would linger in front of them for a long time, wanting them to comfort her.

This misunderstanding will likely cause a long commotion, and it will take a lot of coaxing to calm things down.

After all, it was their fault, and they should make amends.

Fortunately, Shen Sangruo is always sensible and easy to coax.

Thinking of this, the group looked at Shen Sangruo in unison, their gazes softening and showing more concern than before.

But they found that Shen Sangruo was not looking at them with anger and grievance as they had imagined.

His weak, pale face was expressionless, and his eyes quietly watched them.

She didn't cry out her grievances or blame them as usual.

Calm, indifferent, like a stranger detached from the situation.

Such an expression had never appeared on Shen Sangruo before.

Or perhaps she never treated them like that.

The group of people were all taken aback.

An eerie atmosphere descended upon the cave.

In the end, it was Bai Mumu who spoke up to break the silence.

She covered her face and sobbed, "It's all my fault for not remembering what happened back then and for not explaining to Father and Master, which caused Fifth Senior Sister to be misunderstood."

"Fifth Senior Sister suffered so much, it's all my fault, I should be punished to make amends to Fifth Senior Sister!"

"Father, Master, please punish me."

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, hidden beneath his fingers.

Everything was going smoothly according to her plan, but unexpectedly, her master found the Mirror of the Past.

It seems that Shen Sangri still holds a certain weight in Lingxiao Zhenren's heart.

However, she posed no threat.

She could see Shen Sangruo's expression; Shen Sangruo was likely to distance herself from them in the future.

As Bai Mumu cried, she started coughing violently again, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

She successfully drew everyone's attention back to her.

This sight broke everyone's hearts.

“It’s not your fault, it’s Shen Sangruo…” Lingxiao Zhenren blurted out subconsciously, but stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence. Shen Sangruo’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

She guessed that what he hadn't finished saying was that she herself hadn't explained things clearly.

This is also the kind of comforting words that Lingxiao Zhenren has been using to Bai Mumu for the past two years.

Lingxiao Zhenren recalled the image of Shen Sangri kneeling on the ground, desperately trying to explain herself while pulling on his robes.

This incident seems to have absolutely nothing to do with Shen Sangruo.

For her, it was an undeserved disaster.

No, it's related.

His disciple had always been wicked and wicked, and was full of hostility towards his younger disciple.

Otherwise, why would everyone assume she was the one who did it as soon as something happened?
Lingxiao Zhenren sighed silently in his heart.

It's because he's spent less time and energy on Shen Sangri in the last two years.

As her master, he not only had to teach her martial arts techniques, but also how to conduct herself in society.

He would personally teach Shen Sangnuo if she resumed practicing her cultivation techniques in the future.

It also corrects these unhealthy tendencies in her.

Master Lingxiao spoke again, in a different guise: "You are weak and accidentally fell into the valley, so it's inevitable that you were frightened. How could you possibly remember what happened back then?"

"After that, I was recuperating and was unaware of Shen Sangruo's condition. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Hearing Lingxiao Zhenren's words, even though she had detached herself from her feelings for them, Shen Sangruo couldn't help but smile.

You see, people always come up with all sorts of reasons to explain why someone is favored.

At this moment, Shen Sangruo was finally able to face the situation squarely.

Her father, master, and senior brother all favored Bai Mumu.

She used to refuse to accept it and always tried to numb herself.

Now she accepts it calmly; their favoritism means nothing to her anymore.

She didn't care anymore.

After calming Bai Mumu down, Master Lingxiao turned to Shen Sangruo.

"I misunderstood you this time." His tone held a hint of displeasure. "Since you didn't do it, why should you admit your mistake?"

Shen Daochen also spoke up, "Wait a little longer, and the Mirror of the Past will arrive. The truth will be revealed, and we won't lose our cultivation because of those ten drops of heart's blood."

"You silly girl, don't you know how to take care of yourself?"

Shen Daochen sighed softly.

This girl used to throw tantrums and roll around on the ground to avoid punishment.

Why didn't you wait longer this time? You wasted all your cultivation for nothing.

Although she wasn't his biological daughter, Shen Daochen had truly watched Shen Sangruo grow up.

They knew that her cultivation level was hard-won.

But now...

Hey.

Perhaps because they were used to blaming Shen Sangruo, they didn't realize that their words of concern also carried a hint of reproach.

Shen Sanruo stared at the two of them, her eyes unmoved by their words.

Calmly countered, "Master, Uncle-Master, were you ever punished by being sent to the confinement chamber?"

The two paused, for they were always upright people and had never been punished before.

But they also knew how torturous it was to be in a solitary confinement room.

Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen then suddenly realized what was happening.

Shen Sangruo was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before, how could she withstand the array in the Confinement Chamber?

Not to mention a moment, even a second longer is endless torture.

They left Shen Sangruo in the confinement room for two whole days.

Shen Daochen belatedly felt a surge of annoyance and looked at Lingxiao Zhenren with dissatisfaction.

It was only because Master Lingxiao was furious that he punished Shen Sangri and sent her to the confinement room.

They were all angry at the time, but now that they think about it, such punishment was far too much for Shen Sangruo!

Stick it on~
