CHAPTER 846: CHAPTER 850: MASTER’S MIGHT (28)

If she could still feel her Master’s concern and affection for her before, now she...

Her gaze was light and indifferent, free of sorrow and joy, without a trace of emotion.

After Leng Piaopiao recovered from the shock just now, the figure of her Master had long disappeared from her sight.

She bit her lip, worried and panicked. It seemed something that belonged to her was quickly slipping away.

The way her Master treated her just now made Leng Piaopiao feel timid; she wanted to ask what was happening with her Master but found it hard to face his cold demeanor.

That indifference was like someone taking a knife and slicing her heart out, and it hurt deeply whenever she thought about it.

Leng Piaopiao sent a message to the Sect Leader.

The injury of the God Transformation Daoist within the sect concerned the safety and interests of the whole sect and naturally couldn’t be ignored lightly.

The Sect Leader arrived quickly, accompanied by elders from other peaks.

Leng Piaopiao was unaware of what happened inside the chamber; she only knew that the Sect Leader and the elders came out with unpleasant expressions after staying inside for half an hour.

Soon, without seeing her Master again, the Sect Leader announced that Lord Changli would enter a death retreat, not emerging until a breakthrough is made.

Leng Piaopiao anxiously stepped forward to ask, "Sect Leader Martial Uncle, my Master hasn’t eradicated his Heart Demon yet, how can he enter a death retreat?"

She said this secretly to the Sect Leader, behind everyone’s back.

The Sect Leader’s face hadn’t brightened at all and clearly wasn’t now, in a very bad mood.

Upon hearing Leng Piaopiao’s question, he replied grumpily, "His Heart Demon has been eradicated, but he has a problem in his Heart Realm. If he cannot overcome the emotional trial, he..."

The rest of the words were left unsaid by the Sect Leader, but Leng Piaopiao completely understood the meaning in the Sect Leader’s tone.

This... how is this possible.

Her heart twitched, unwilling to believe, but facing the reality in front of her, she couldn’t help but acknowledge it.

Turns out everything he said was true, he only loves Su Li.

Ha ha, then what does she amount to?

The Sect Leader seemed to see through Leng Piaopiao’s unbearable feelings, coldly snorted, and said, "Your Master has entrusted you to me. In the future, you will follow me to the Main Peak for cultivation."

Leng Piaopiao did not deeply feel the stark contrast in the Sect Leader’s attitude; she was completely immersed in her sorrow, unable to extricate herself.

It wasn’t until she followed the Sect Leader in a daze to the Main Peak that she realized, without the protection of her Master’s strength, those once kind and close senior brothers and sisters all showed another face.

She unknowingly found herself in the same situation as Su Li once was.

Only she is much better off than Su Li was before; her current cultivation is average, so she hasn’t faced the torment that Su Li experienced.

Of course, her life wasn’t good, but Leng Piaopiao felt that way, as most disciples within the sect lived such lives.

But compared to her previous life where she was adored and flattered by everyone, it indeed felt like a world of difference.

She was extremely angry, secretly remembering the names of those who humiliated her, thinking fiercely that once her Master came out of retreat, she’d make them pay.

Leng Piaopiao firmly believed her Master would successfully overcome the emotional trial, after all, he was so powerful.

In fact, before deciding to enter the death retreat, Su Xuan had a premonition that this time he might fail.

Under the Heavenly Thunder, he realized many things, allowing him to successfully eliminate his Heart Demon, but at the same time, upon understanding his true feelings, he completely lost them.

Thus, he could never be truly fulfilled, without fulfillment, his cultivation would halt, and his life would probably stop at the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Therefore, he entrusted Leng Piaopiao to the Sect Leader, and the path ahead must be walked by herself.

Over the years, he made many mistakes, leading to the irreparable situation today.

Cause and effect, all are fate.

Actually, the Sect Leader hadn’t given up on Leng Piaopiao, a promising seedling, given her decent aptitude.

Now that Changli was essentially ruined, Leng Piaopiao’s importance increased by several degrees.

Yet, Changli wasn’t a good teacher, he nurtured a good seedling askew.

Now the Sect Leader wanted to hone Leng Piaopiao’s heart, also took quite some effort.

However, Leng Piaopiao was not open to cultivation, far from it, instead harboring many resentments towards fellow disciples.

The Sect Leader frowned at this, such disciples, no matter how good the aptitude, the sect dared not wholeheartedly cultivate. Fear that a mistake might breed a spiteful betrayer.

The experience of the neighboring Tianji Sect served as a warning.

"Piaopiao, this Purple Water Chestnut is my senior sister’s, quickly return it to us."

Leng Piaopiao’s expression was displeased, her grip on the Spirit Grass tightened, eliciting more of the opposite party’s complaints, "Be careful not to damage my senior sister’s Purple Water Chestnut, or you’ll be sorry."

Leng Piaopiao: "But I also need the Purple Water Chestnut for medicine-making, can’t you let me have it first?"

"No way."

Not only did the girl who was chirping just now disagree, but the other companions on the expedition also disagreed.

A gentle-looking man softly explained to Leng Piaopiao, "Piaopiao, we’ve discussed before, distribution in the team follows the principle of contribution."

"The Purple Water Chestnut’s guardian spiritual beast was dispatched by Zhuzhu Senior Sisters, hence the Spirit Grass rightfully belongs to them."

Leng Piaopiao pulled out an item from her bosom, "I’ll trade it with you for a Diamond, would that be acceptable?"

Zhu Zhu: "Who wants yours, we want the Purple Water Chestnut."

The other team members exchanged glances, seeing Leng Piaopiao’s unyielding attitude, they showed mild indifference, saying "Piaopiao, I think you might be unsuitable for adventures with us."

The news of Lord Changli’s flawed Heart Realm had spread throughout the sect, though the source was unknown, now everyone knew.

With Lord Changli in death retreat, whether he can exit remains uncertain, hence no need to indulge the little princess anymore.

Leng Piaopiao really thought everyone liked her, stood by her...wasn’t it all to please her for Lord Changli’s sake?

Now with Lord Changli unable to protect himself, who isn’t their own treasure?

"You all...wait till my Master comes out, I’ll make you pay."

Leng Piaopiao stormed away in frustration, such things have happened countless times.

At times, in a daze, she suddenly wondered: was this the life Su Li lived before?

No one regards you, no one gives way to you, you can only rely on yourself to fight and seize.

Leng Piaopiao always reassured herself that everything would be alright once Master emerged from retreat.

But she didn’t expect, she never got another chance.

Upon hearing the sect’s highest peak bell being rung three times, she wondered if a sect elder had returned to the earth.

Until someone hastily called her to the Sect Leader’s place.

Then...she saw her Master in his sitting transformation state.

It must be a lie, Lord Changli of Wuwei Sect with the brightest future, just silently underwent transformation.

The Medicine Peak elder, who was already ancient and nearing his end, is still hanging on, why did her Master...
