Chapter 393: Such a pitiful girl, how could she have ambition?

"Disloyal to Emei?"

"Still thinking of someone in her heart?"

Hearing this, Abbess Miejue could not help but knit her brows, and a sense of annoyance arose spontaneously.

What she hated most in her life was disciples who were half-hearted: first, disloyalty to the sect, and second, disciples engaging in romance. She did not expect Zhou Zhiruo to have both.

But upon further thought, Miejue also discovered something wrong.

Zhou Zhiruo had joined the Emei Sect a long time ago, and in all these years, she had almost never left the mountain.

And the Emei Sect consisted entirely of women; there was no possibility of contact with any men from the outside world.

To say that Zhou Zhiruo was thinking of someone in her heart was truly illogical.

If not, then one could only think that she had developed feelings for a man outside before joining Emei?

But such a thing was clearly impossible; Zhou Zhiruo was too young at that time, how could it be?

Thinking of this, Abbess Miejue felt a wave of confusion.

Although she also knew that Song Qingshu of the Wudang Sect had ideas about Zhou Zhiruo, and the Wudang Sect had even sent people to propose marriage for this reason.

But the two had never met; logically speaking, such a thing should not have happened.

After some consideration, Abbess Miejue decided to remain still and wait to see what happened.

Regardless, Zhou Zhiruo was her most important disciple now; if she struck her down with one palm, the Emei Sect would truly be in an embarrassing situation.

Otherwise, as long as she was willing to kneel and admit her mistake, perhaps she could be forgiven a little.

However, although Abbess Miejue thought this way, Ding Minjun on the side did not think so.

She smiled lightly, walked forward, and said to Zhou Zhiruo:

"Little Junior Sister..."

"Mr. Su says you have a sweetheart?"

At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo's delicate, fair face had turned completely red.

Vaguely, she could even feel wisps of rising heat; her face was so hot.

What surprised Zhou Zhiruo even more was that the secret hidden so deep in her heart had been seen through at a glance by this Mr. Su.

One must know that this was a matter from ten years ago, and no one knew about it except herself.

Now Mr. Su not only said it in front of everyone but also directly pointed out her feelings.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiruo said in a panic:

"No! It's not like that!"

"Master! Senior Sister! You must listen to my explanation!"

Miejue frowned, her face cold, and said with a huff:

"You had better make it clear, otherwise, Emei will definitely not tolerate you!"

"If you are sincerely trying to be the second Ji Xiaofu, I, Miejue, don't mind fulfilling your wish once!"

Having said that, Miejue shook slightly, and a sharp murderous intent struck.

When the crowd saw this, they were all startled by the scene before them.

Although Abbess Miejue's Wu Gong was not worth looking at in front of Su Hang, if she wanted to strike down Zhou Zhiruo to clean up the sect, it would not be difficult at all.

Zhou Zhiruo, seeing this scene, felt tears gush out and explained:

"Master, it's not like that."

"It's not that this disciple is engaging in romance and pledging her life to someone, but there is another reason."

"Back then, this disciple was just a poor girl from a fishing family, suffering from hardship since childhood and finding it difficult to survive. At that time, the world was in chaos, and this disciple was just trying to survive in the chaotic world."

"It was precisely at that time that this disciple met the Daoist Master, and thanks to the Daoist Master's blessing, this disciple was able to enter the gates of Emei."

"The person Mr. Su mentioned is nothing more than a friend from this disciple's youth."

After speaking, Zhou Zhiruo's eyes became wet, and she burst into tears again.

She was a person with a delicate mind and naturally understood the stakes.

If she didn't explain it clearly, her Master might just expel her from the sect.

Miejue, upon hearing this, felt the expression on her face relax somewhat; what Zhou Zhiruo said was indeed true.

"So that's how it is!"

"Back then, the Daoist Master did indeed recommend you to my Emei..."

"But those are just childhood memories; it's nothing strange!" ===== CHAPTER 395 =====
