Chapter 46: Who Is the True Shen Family Heiress?

"Yes!" Zhao Yue answered in a trembling voice.

Su Zhengzong was stunned for a moment, forgetting to scream.

Bai Ren Shan and the others' faces drastically changed, "Zhao Yue, you're foolish!"

At this moment, we absolutely cannot provoke Shen Qingli any further, or we'll all be doomed!

But upon hearing those words, Shen Qingli discovered she was neither angry nor sad.

On the contrary, Shen Kuo felt heartbroken, already gripping her shoulder, "A Li..."

Shen Qingli gathered her palm, the five-colored phoenix flame blazed! Su Zhengzong's soul scattered, turning into smoke and dust, just like her in the previous life.

This grudge, she has avenged.

"Seal."

Shen Qingli's finger emitted purple light, piercing the dantians of Bai Ren Shan, Zhao Yue, and the other two.

"You cannot possibly repair your dantians in this lifetime."

This is the restriction Shen Qingli placed on them, and also the punishment they deserve.

"No!"

Sect Leader Xu refuses to accept it!

Sect Leader Li, however, grabbed his hand, signaling him not to shout randomly.

"As long as the green mountains remain, there's no worry about lacking firewood," she said they cannot be repaired—could it really be impossible?

Bai Ren Shan thought the same, so he also remained silent.

Only then did Shen Qingli stand up, but she took their personal storage rings.

"You—"

Sect Leader Xu was so angry he was about to explode!

But he had to endure it, because he was afraid.

Shen Qingli glanced at their supplies, "These years I've given you more than just these; after you return, remember to prepare the materials—I'll send people to collect them."

"What else do you want!" Sect Leader Xu exclaimed in disbelief, "These are all our treasures; you've taken them and it's still not enough? Don't go too far!"

"The restriction I placed on your bodies can take your lives at any time. If you don't believe me, feel free not to prepare the life‑buying wealth for me." Shen Qingli dropped the words.

"Then what exactly do you want?" Bai Ren Shan asked.

"The materials I earned for you three years ago, and all the things I have given you to the Bijade Sect over these years, must be returned in full."

"I give you only one month; after one month, repay me." Shen Qingli intends to reclaim everything for her past self! Even a single tiny spiritual herb, she will take it back.

"After so many years, how could we possibly remember clearly?" Sect Leader Xu became anxious.

"That's your concern; not a single stalk may be lacking." Shen Qingli reminded.

"If even one stalk is missing, you..."

"Don't say it!"

Sect Leader Li pressed down Sect Leader Xu; if they continued speaking, they'd truly have no life left!

The Supreme Elder Su died right before their eyes—isn't that enough!

"Remember, not a single stalk may be lacking."

After Shen Qingli finished speaking, she looked toward Shen Kuo and the members of the Heavenly Star Sect.

"Let's go." Shen Kuo extended his hand.

Shen Qingli gazed at his long, fair hand, but what appeared before her eyes was her childhood self.

She had once lunged forward, wanting to grasp that hand, but failed to do so.

Although she knew he loved her, she still did not reach out her own hand.

"Go."

Shen Qingli nodded and leapt into the air.

Shen Kuo looked at his empty hand and slowly clenched it.

"Let's go!"

Liu Meng cheered, pulling Shen Qingli as they flew away on their swords.

"Old Seven, let's go."

Zhuge Yun stepped on his feather fan, invited Shen Kuo, and flew up to follow the younger generation.

The group departed in a carefree manner, leaving only four old women and old men, still slumped where they were.

After a long while, they finally staggered to their feet, gradually walking farther away.

On the flying sword, Shen Qingli took out the ancient book given by the Medicine Valley Master, looked at it for a while, and indeed it was obscure and hard to understand.

"It's ancient script." Shen Kuo's voice came over.

Shen Qingli lifted her gaze, seeing Shen Kuo flying on his own sword beside her and Liu Meng.

"Father knows it?" Shen Qingli asked.

Shen Kuo nodded, "Of course, the clan academy will teach it."

The clan's foundation is laid bare.

"I know it too!" Liu Meng also said.

"Junior Sister, you're at the Bijade Sect—don't they teach you this?"

"No." Shen Qingli felt a bit confused; although she had never attended the classes at the Bijade Sect, she knew what they taught, but this subject was missing.

"Too much!" Liu Meng felt the Bijade Sect was inhuman, not even allowing study, "Don't worry, I'll teach you!"

"Senior Sister, you probably haven't learned it either. I remember when we took this cultural class, you dozed off every day, barely understanding ten characters—are you sure you can teach?" Zhan Yuefeng sounded doubtful.

Liu Meng: "... Then you teach!"

She indeed didn't remember a few characters; she must not let the junior martial sister down.

"Isn't there any instructor in the sect?" Ji Wanxing said unhappily, "Do you need us amateurs?"

Liu Meng scratched his head several times, "Then let the teacher teach."

"You all learned this from childhood?" Shen Qingli suspected that the Emerald Jade Sect might have hidden courses she didn't know about.

"Of course, but this is really hard." Liu Meng looked at the Primordial Script that resembled heavenly scriptures, feeling it was like ghostly talismans, "I feel they all look the same!"

"But the formation we entered this time is drawn with these characters." Zhan Yuefeng frowned and said, "Looks like we still need to study well."

"You're talking about the Taiyi Divine Sovereign's inheritance-guarding formation, right?" Ji Wanxing said with a smile, "Now you realize you're ignorant and illiterate? If you had learned a bit more, you wouldn't waste so much Primordial Purple Qi."

The three were very honest.

This time out, they truly realized their insignificance.

Not to mention anything else, the junior martial sister alone could thrash them.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Star Sect ordering seniority by entry time, they would have to call the junior martial sister "Senior Martial Sister"—truly embarrassing.

"Let's all go back and re-enter the academy with your junior martial sister to study properly!" Ji Wanxing took the opportunity to scold.

The three nodded honestly, and Liu Meng cheered up, "Studying with the junior martial sister, I'm willing! I will definitely learn well!"

"You say it after you can sit still." Feng Yimo knows his disciple best—if it's meditation, he can sit; if it's studying, his butt feels like it's sprouting sores, he simply can't sit.

"Everyone come up, we'll speed back to the sect." Ji Wanxing swept his sleeve, bringing everyone onto his Dharma artifact, racing back to the Heavenly Star Sect; their mountain gate is far from Profound Mountain, the road is long.

At the same time, Zhao Yue and the others finally returned to the Emerald Jade Sect.

This ambush resulted in heavy casualties.

The Emerald Jade Sect was shrouded in gloom, even fearing other forces might take the opportunity to attack.

Zhao Yue, however, no longer cared about these things; she looked at Su Chacha lying on the bed and said word by word, "Chacha, the Master can now only rely on you."

Su Chacha's heart turned cold as ice; she's already like this—how could she be relied upon?

Her cultivation was exhausted, she clung to life.

This is her now.

She had thought she could rely on the Master and the sect, but the Master was clearly also crippled, withered to the point of being unbearable to look at—she was doomed!

"Go to the Longwater Shen Clan, stand in for Shen Qingli, and return to the family." Zhao Yue said slowly, and this! is the fundamental reason she is protecting Su Chacha.

She knows this is her only hope.

To have her give up this only hope, she would rather die!

"This is the Shen Clan Jade Tablet." Zhao Yue handed over the wedding gift Shen Kuo gave her years ago to Su Chacha, "Shen Qingli's phoenix bone has been melted and refined by you…

"You carry the aura of the Longwater Shen Clan; go! You must steady your stance in the Shen Clan, find a way to save me, understand?"
