After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

Chapter 112 On Conscience

When Sect Master Fujiang looked back at the mountain gate, even more people had gathered, and many of his own disciples had run off to watch the spectacle.

The fellow disciples in the hall mostly preferred to arrest and interrogate the person immediately, but as they talked, they went astray.

"This is supposed to be a family matter, but once a commotion breaks out at the beginning of the year, it becomes more than just a family matter."

"Isn't it better for her to find someone privately?"

"Ha, let someone else continue to live under her identity and walk through the world?"
When you achieve great success, you even feel it's wrong to call your own parents "father" and "mother"? I certainly wouldn't do that.

"Speaking of Bai Yu, her background is proven. What does Senior Brother plan to do about it?"

"Senior brother, she is herself, what does it have to do with her parents?"

"Without Shen Dingru, Shouzhuo wouldn't have raised her with rare and precious materials, and she wouldn't have been able to become a disciple of Fujiang."

"How many of those whose ancestors weren't cultivators can be supported to the Nascent Soul stage?" True Monarch Xiansi tore away the glamorous facade of the major sects.

The Nascent Soul True Monarch beside her spoke coolly, "The two of them, one is still wasting the sect's resources, while the other has already brought back countless treasures for the sect."

"Could it be that Bai Yu and the Shen family have their eyes on the Spirit Beast Valley's assets?"

"Bai Yu has undergone several trials and tribulations, and is also giving back to the sect."

She is an upright person and never trespasses on the Spirit Beast Valley. "True Monarch Xi Yu looked around at everyone. If he wanted to fight for the position of sect leader for his disciple, he should fight for it openly and fairly. Why throw mud at a child?"

Sect Master Fujiang spoke: "Shen Baiyu was my personal disciple before, and will continue to be my personal disciple in the future."

We accepted her because we valued her character and spiritual qualities.

The disciples I teach are no less capable than others.

But he knew that from this day forward, Bai Yu, like Lian Qiao, would no longer be qualified to compete for the position of sect leader.

That year, the first disciple of a major sect was also a direct disciple, and he wouldn't come here to randomly claim a father: "Someone, go to the Shen family and tell them to come quickly."

"Isn't my junior brother going to take charge?"

"The goal of 'keeping a simple life' has already been achieved."

"The disciple in front?"

"If you're going to look, then look," Sect Master Fujiang replied calmly.

Now that things have come to this, revealing the truth to everyone is the best way to train and protect Bai Yu. Whatever the world says in the future will not affect her.

If you want to make a fuss at the beginning of the year, then make a fuss. It's not the fault of Taiyi Sect. Providing the venue is also his way of being generous.

But why does she want the whole world to know? Sect Master Fujiang fell into deep thought.

……

As Master Shouzhuo approached the mountain gate, the area was packed with people.

Upon exiting the teleportation array, Juexing, Nie Chengzhang, and the others who had heard the news were unable to squeeze to the front.

Of course, it's more than 300 miles from the market town, and they certainly couldn't fly here that fast on their own. They all asked their elders, who were at the Nascent Soul or Core Formation stage, to bring them to the nearby area.

At this moment, they could only fly their swords into the air and watch Sui Chu stand there with his back straight, while Shen Baiyu went into the mountain gate to welcome the True Man Shouzhuo.

Meanwhile, Shen Tinglu, having not seen the ancestor for a long time, transmitted her voice to Shen Shuo: "I'll go to meet him, don't add fuel to the fire."

"Third sister, don't go. The clan leader is ruthless. What if he hurts those two on the way and then blames you?"

"Look, Master Shouzhuo is here." Shen Shuo decisively grabbed her.

With graying hair, he described the aging Shouzhuo Zhenren, who had difficulty walking on one leg.

He let Shen Baiyu help him walk to Shen Suiren and kept looking her over.

Shen Suiren bowed deeply: "Shen Dingru's daughter, Shen Suiren, pays respects to the Immortal. I have come to borrow my father's soul lamp so that I may find him."

Master Shouzhuo asked a strange question: "When you encounter something very happy, how do you laugh?"

Many people don't understand.

Shen Suiren was slightly surprised, then grinned at him, his previously solemn and tense face suddenly showing a sense of joy.

Master Shouzhuo trembled and raised his hand: "I, I..."

"You, when you smile, you resemble Dingru only a little, yet you smile exactly like your grandfather on his wedding day."

As he spoke, he used his spiritual power to draw a happy middle-aged man and a young man riding on the back of a wolf, laughing loudly, in the air.

Shen Baiyu froze immediately, barely managing to suppress her embarrassment. In the past, her grandfather had drawn her family members many times, fearing she might forget them, and even said that she didn't look like them.

Shen Suiren stared intently at the portrait. This was the first time in her life that she had seen the face of her relatives. Her grandparents had passed away a few years before she was born.

"Later, could you please draw my grandmother and mother?"

Shouzhuo sighed and nodded.

At this moment, one of the onlookers remarked, "Sui Chu's eyes look just like her grandfather's!"

“It’s inherited from previous generations.” Juexing noticed that it was Lu Fang, who was squeezed in front, and immediately chimed in loudly.

“A biological child is a biological child; you can change the person but not the appearance.” Nie Chengzhang added fuel to the fire.

Their actions immediately sparked a buzz of discussion; they weren't just similar, they were exactly alike.

In contrast, Shen Baiyu bears no resemblance whatsoever to the two figures drawn by spiritual power.

Yun Chuan glanced at Nie Chengzhang, then said to Shou Zhuo Zhenren, "Uncle-Master, would it be more certain to have a blood test?"

After all, there are many people in the world who look alike, and many who do not resemble their parents.

"What are you questioning, Fellow Daoist Yun Chuan? My family's Sui Chu was a disciple of Fu Feng, a prodigy who reached Foundation Establishment at the age of fifteen, and he alone possesses all the talents of the sect's Tianhu Peak."

"They wouldn't stoop so low as to impersonate our parents." Luo Ning, Gongsun Lexun, and the others landed on their swords behind Sui Chu.

They had just been teleported from Poseidon City to the market town and were secretly sent here by True Monarch Ziquan after receiving the news.

"Don't forget, on that day, your esteemed clan leader Tang Jun spoke disrespectfully, and at the beginning of the year, he was the first to demand justice."

She immediately identified herself as a member of the Shen family. Jiang Xiaoye glanced at Tang Jun, who was watching the commotion inside the mountain gate, and immediately used him as a pretext.

Yao Guang silently stood behind Shen Baiyu: "Verifying kinship is only right and proper."

The jeers rose again from among the onlookers: "Why don't the Shen family members come out and have it checked?"

"My father was not here at the beginning of the year, how can I verify this?"

"Shen Baiyu's parents are here."

How far is it from here to Spring Returns Mountain? A thousand miles?

"Will Master Shouzhuo give you the Soul Lamp?"

Discussions arose one after another. Several Core Formation cultivators from the Taiyi Sect glanced around, feeling that someone was deliberately leading the discussion.

In the clouds above, Zhu Kuang Zhenjun glanced at Cheng Zhishun and said, "You're quite capable, managing to direct disciples from both the Dao and Demonic factions to campaign for the beginning of the year."

"Well, that's all. They owe me a favor in the minefield on Dragon Island."

"Used for such a trivial matter?"

"No favors last forever; repay them as soon as possible so everyone can have peace of mind."

Besides, Sui Chu is also my junior sister, so I should help her out when necessary. Cheng Zhishun only got back some favors from a few individuals; he could get back favors from the others with greater potential later.

Zhu Kuang did not expose him, saying, "Let Sui Chu handle it himself."

"Yes." He was happy to continue watching the excitement.

Then, as expected, Master Shouzhuo took out the Soul Lamp. The lamp had no flame, only a little bit of dark red remained on the wick.

"Do you know what I tried to use to reignite it?"

Before Shen Suiren could speak, he grabbed Shen Baiyu and said, "I'm not afraid of what people will say. After the Shen family sent Baiyu here, I took out a drop of her heart's blood from her when she was only a month old."

Some people gasped in horror, thinking that taking a baby's heart blood could be fatal. To act humbly means to be fearless of public opinion. Of course, the disciple is the most important, especially when it comes to the disciple's children.

But now the child has been raised for fifteen years. Alas, "The younger generation of the Taiyi Sect always says that I used rare and precious materials to raise her, but they don't know that her body has been damaged because of this."

Later, when she reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, she voluntarily used a drop of her heart's blood to ignite her lamp, which resulted in her reaching Foundation Establishment later than others.

"You want me to be grateful to her? Impossible." Shen Suiren's eyes turned cold.

Shouzhuo paused, tightening the soul lamp: "She is the most innocent; the fault lies with others, including myself, who also failed to oversee the situation."

At the beginning of the year, can you guarantee that you won't damage the white elms in the future?

"No, the moment I handed over the visiting card, the wounds were already inflicted and beyond my control, and they will inevitably continue to fester."

"Just like when Shen Zhaolu and Jiu Niang took me away." Shen Suiren shook her head in refusal.

Shen Baiyu also shook her head, "Grandma, don't make things difficult for Suichu. I took what was hers, so I should return it."

"Why not just abandon your cultivation and expel yourself from the Taiyi Sect!" someone else said.

The cultivators all turned to look at this person.

"Shut up!" Shen Suiren and Yun Chuan glared at the speaker at the same time.

She coldly rebuked, "Tang Jun, it's you again!"
To eliminate his rivals early in order to secure the next sect leader, he was truly wicked.

"Shen Shuo, go in and beat him up, so he'll remember that the Shen family members are not outsiders to be bullied."

"That's exactly what I wanted." After consuming the spiritual herbs from Dragon King Island, Shen Shuo's injuries healed and his cultivation improved even further. He was looking for someone to test his skills against.

He was very clever; he could simply send a message to a few members of the Shen family within the mountain gate, asking them to quietly lend a hand in a moment.

"How dare you!" Tang Jun was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat. His master had died and the sect had not yet announced his death, and his senior brother had told him to avoid trouble.

As soon as Shen Shuo ran into the mountain gate, a Core Formation cultivator stopped him: "What kind of behavior is this in front of the main gate?"

Bang!
But then another Core Formation cultivator stepped forward and kicked Tang Jun over, saying, "Go back to seclusion."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Tang Jun coughed up blood and took the opportunity to escape. His eldest senior brother, True Man Cangqiong, cupped his hands to those around him and said, "Please excuse my rudeness."

Then he turned and left. His junior brother, Liangchuan Zhenren, who was following behind him, said to Shen Suiren, "Young friend, you are a member of the Shen family, but not a disciple of the Taiyi Sect."

Shen Suiren wholeheartedly agreed, nodding and smiling, "That's why I had the Taiyi disciples take action. And look, Tang Jun got beaten up."

"Really, do you think he's learned his lesson this time?"

Everyone was speechless. You really only care about the result and don't care about the process. Liang Chuan was so annoyed by her that he turned and left.

The Nascent Soul cultivators watching the play in Guiyuan Hall each had their own thoughts.

The senior brother of the Spirit Beast Valley Master Shouzhuo, Master Shouchi, sighed, "What a pity, Zhu Kuang got lucky."

Sect Master Fujiang sighed inwardly, realizing he had missed out on a disciple with a steadfast and magnanimous heart.

Especially when he saw Shen Suiren saying, "Shen Baiyu, raise your head and straighten your back!"
Your cultivation level is something you've worked hard to achieve yourself, and your title of "personal disciple" was personally bestowed upon you by Sect Master Fujiang.

Your only mistake was putting the baby in Lu Jiuniang's belly.

“Sui Chu…” Shen Baiyu didn’t know what to say. It turned out that Sui Chu had already hinted to her that she would not have a good time when she came to visit Taiyi Sect.

Tang Jun was just the first to speak out against his own conscience.

Just as she was pondering how to thank Sui Chu without offending her, someone spoke up for her: "Shen Sui, thank you for helping Sui Xing."

Mother, I'm sorry to you, and I'm sorry to Suixing.

I didn't know, I didn't know she had her heart's blood taken at such a young age.

The crowd parted, and Lu Jiuniang, her face streaked with tears, walked up to them. "Suixing, my child, if I had known you would suffer like this, I would never have traded you away."

She tried to take Shen Baiyu's hand, but the latter instinctively took a step back.

She then looked at Shen Suiren: "Shen Sui, for the sake of your mother raising you, how about helping Suixing out in the future?"
I'll give my life to atone for my sins.

As she spoke, she thrust a short blade at herself.

This

Shen Suiren and Shen Baiyu raised their hands at the same time, but the former stopped halfway and the latter knocked the knife away.

Lu Jiuniang was overjoyed: "Shen Sui, Mother..."

“My mother’s surname is Zhuang. Well then, continue your performance.” Shen Suiren used his spiritual power to grab and send the knife on the ground back to her.

Lu Jiuniang: Why doesn't this child remember any of our past affections?
Everyone: Oh dear, don't be so quick to see through us at the beginning of the year!

However, Shen Baiyu and this female cultivator don't look very alike.

"Stop talking!" Shen Baiyu's face flushed red. He grabbed the knife with one hand and used the other to quickly press on Lu Jiuniang's major acupoints, searching for the clan leader with his divine sense.

Can't you just sincerely admit your mistake? Why pull this stunt?

Shen Shuo and Shen Tinglu were furious. "At the beginning of the year, something must have happened to the ancestor."

The two didn't bother looking for Chief Shen in the crowd, and quickly flew home on their swords.

……

"What's going on? Have the Shen family members lost their minds?"
"Where is Shen Duzhou?" The sect leader of Fujiang jumped up and found that the Core Formation cultivator he had sent out was not replying.

"I'll go check on the Shen family." Lord Shouchi flashed off.

"Clan Chief Shen, Shen Zhao, what a mess you've made, yet you push a woman to the front! Disgusting!" Shen Suiren harbored resentment towards Lu Jiuniang, and even more contempt for Shen Zhao, who had been hiding in the back.

She stared directly at Clan Chief Shen and Shen Zhao in the crowd. The cultivators once again parted to make way for the two of them to meet their demise.

Chief Shen took an uneasy step, realizing his mistake; this tactic wouldn't work.

After three photos and two blood tests, he couldn't lie anymore, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Well, I'm 20, and I just heard about this."

They may have done wrong, but they also raised you and taught you how to cultivate yourself.

"Without them, you wouldn't have been able to join the Immortal Travel Sect, would you?"

He pulled out Shen Zhao, who was hanging his head and remaining silent, from behind him, and said, "Go and sincerely apologize to the children."

We're all family. Let's take the two children back to Chungui Mountain and have a good talk.

"Heh, Clan Chief Shen, it was you and Shen Zhao who went to the mortal realm to pick me up back then, wasn't it?"
"I really want to know, how did he manage to switch people right under your nose?" Shen Suiren went straight to the point.

Chief Shen paused, feeling the disdain and contempt in the eyes of many people looking at him.

Shen Zhao suddenly looked up and said, "Shen Sui, put your hand on your heart. If we hadn't taken care of you, you would have died."

"Without us taking you into the world of cultivation, you would have remained a mortal your whole life."

Among the cultivators present, some actually nodded in agreement.

Some people exclaimed, "Look, Shen Baiyu looks a bit like him!"

"Shameless!" Luo Ning and the other disciples gritted their teeth at Shen Zhao.

Shen Suiren immediately pressed his hand to his chest: "In my conscience, if it weren't for you, I would have grown up in the world of cultivation."

"It's impossible for someone to only start practicing a castration-style cultivation technique at ten years old, and still be at the first level of Qi Refining at twelve."

The crowd was in an uproar, as they had assumed that the early establishment of the foundation at the beginning of the year was due to the hard work of the adoptive parents.

At this moment, Situ Shiyuan, who had been silent all along, picked up an object and quickly made a hand seal.

In a flash of inspiration, the cultivators saw a huge image projected, showing vast spiritual fields and low-level Qi Refining cultivators working within them.

A moment later, a masked female cultivator appeared. It was none other than Situ Shiyuan herself, who was holding the recording jade. However, her cultivation level was clearly suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Master?" Shen Suiren didn't expect that her master would find time to go to Fuguang City.

Situ Shiyuan smiled at her, signaling her to be quiet, "Master Shouzhuo, the conscience of Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zhao is here."

I wonder if, after you've read this, you'll still ask your apprentice to be magnanimous?
