Shen Qing had carefully tidied up her small courtyard before. It wasn't extremely delicate, but it was warm and cozy.
It was a pity that Shen Chuyun had destroyed it with a single palm strike. Shen Qing no longer had the heart to restore it. Since she had already made up her mind to leave, she just did a hasty clean-up.
Moreover, this courtyard had never truly belonged to her.
By the time she finished cleaning, it was already dark.
Because Lin Yibai was seriously injured and in a coma, most of the people on Nianbai Peak were not in the Qingyun Sword Sect.
True Person Heng Ling had gone to the Herb Hall to seek medicine. Senior Brother Pei Xuanjing and Second Senior Brother He Yu had gone on a mission and were collecting spiritual herbs by the way. Third Senior Brother Nan Zhijin had beaten Shen Qing up to vent his anger and then left the Qingyun Sword Sect without a trace.
And Shen Chuyun had been left behind to take care of Lin Yibai.
So, this was the perfect opportunity for Shen Qing to destroy the diary.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Shen Qing groped her way towards Lin Yibai's small courtyard.
Back then, in order to show her kindness and closeness, Lin Yibai had specially given up her original small courtyard, which had better lighting and was more spacious, to Shen Qing. She herself had moved to a nearby courtyard with a less favorable location.
It had been a willing act on both sides, but in the end, the rumor had it that Shen Qing had snatched Lin Yibai's courtyard.
A sarcastic smile played on Shen Qing's lips.
She had experienced many such things over the years.
The closer she got to Lin Yibai's courtyard, the lighter Shen Qing's steps became.
From afar, she saw Shen Chuyun leaving Lin Yibai's room and gently closing the door behind her.
In the morning, Shen Chuyun had been so arrogant that she had shattered Shen Qing's door with a single palm.
What a blatant double standard.
But Shen Qing no longer felt anything. She coldly watched Shen Chuyun leave. After waiting for a while, she tiptoed over and gently pushed open Lin Yibai's door.
By the moonlight, Shen Qing could clearly see the scene inside the room.
Lin Yibai's small room was filled with things sent by True Person Heng Ling and several senior brothers. From small storage boxes to the tables and chairs in the room.
There were also various jars filled with high-grade spiritual herbs piled on the table as if they were worthless.
Shen Qing walked up to Lin Yibai and looked at her peaceful sleeping face. Her fists tightened and then relaxed. It took her a great deal of effort to calm the surging hatred in her heart.
After a lifetime, they finally met again.
Lin Yibai was lying quietly on the bed, her almond eyes tightly closed and her lips bloodless.
But this appearance was full of a sense of fragility, making people feel pity.
Lin Yibai was the female protagonist in the original story. She had an otherworldly appearance, and every frown and smile was full of aura and vitality.
So, when they saw her lying helplessly on the bed, the strong sense of pity in True Person Heng Ling and several senior brothers was instantly aroused.
Before Shen Qing had become a disciple, Lin Yibai had been the only female disciple under True Person Heng Ling.
She was the little junior sister that everyone envied. Lin Yibai was extremely talented and didn't need anyone's worry. The people on Nianbai Peak had gradually gotten used to Lin Yibai's strength.
After Shen Qing came, the little junior sister changed. Because Shen Qing was physically weak, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
True Person Heng Ling and several senior brothers thought they had given all their care and favor to Shen Qing, thus neglecting and wronging Lin Yibai.
After Lin Yibai had an accident, they arrogantly repented and transferred their previous wrongdoings towards Lin Yibai onto Shen Qing, as if this could ease their guilt.
A bunch of disgusting and arrogant guys!
After coming out of her emotions, Shen Qing remembered her purpose for coming here.
She rummaged around, trying hard to find the diary.
At the same time, Shen Qing tried her best to keep everything in its original position. If someone found out that she had sneaked in, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had ten mouths.
Shen Qing still remembered that in the original story, when Pei Xuanjing saw Lin Yibai lying on the bed, the guilt in his heart was palpable. He almost shed tears. So he turned around and walked to the window to calm his emotions.
The window...
Shen Qing's gaze fell on the window. There was a small cabinet under the windowsill. When Shen Qing walked closer, she saw that the drawer of the cabinet was not closed, revealing a corner of a notebook.
There was a character "Ji" written on the notebook. Shen Qing had a hunch that this was what she was looking for.
Shen Qing pulled open the drawer and took out the blue notebook.
After opening it, sure enough, she saw the diary written by Lin Yibai herself.
May 10th. Great! Master has finally accepted another disciple. It's a cute little junior sister. I'm really happy. I must treat her well, teach her how to practice and fly with a sword. But the way the little junior sister looks at me seems a bit strange...
June 15th. The little junior sister has nowhere to live when she first comes. She takes a fancy to my small courtyard. Well, since I'm the senior sister, even though I'm reluctant, I'll give the small courtyard to her. I hope she'll treat me better.
...
November 5th. The secret realm has started. I want to go. If it weren't for the fact that the little junior sister hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, I'm afraid the quota that belongs to me would be gone...
January 8th. I've finally returned from the secret realm. It was a narrow escape. I've obtained many precious spiritual herbs. Although Master has asked me to give all the things I got from the secret realm to the little junior sister, it doesn't matter. As long as the little junior sister is happy.
March 20th. The little junior sister secretly warned me not to get close to Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother. I don't know why.
April 1st. The little junior sister snatched my share of the resources...
June 20th. The little junior sister called me a bitch and said I wasn't worthy of staying on Nianbai Peak...
...
Shen Qing finished reading the entire diary. Every page was filled with Lin Yibai's "grievances".
However, Shen Qing had never done any of the things written in that diary.
But the words in it, true or false, were hard to distinguish. It was not difficult to imagine how angry Pei Xuanjing, who was already full of guilt, would be when he saw this diary.
If Shen Qing weren't the protagonist, even she would have thought that Lin Yibai had suffered a great deal of grievances when she suddenly saw this diary.
Shen Qing gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with frost.
Regarding the secret realm mentioned in Lin Yibai's diary, True Person Heng Ling had wanted Shen Qing to go with them because Shen Qing had spiritual bones on her body, which could save Lin Yibai's life in a critical moment.
And what Lin Yibai had brought back from the secret realm were just ordinary spiritual herbs, which were of no use at all.
True Person Heng Ling, under the pretext of compensation, had given the high-grade pills and spiritual herbs that were originally meant for Shen Qing to Lin Yibai.
After the rumor spread, it still became that Shen Qing had occupied the things that Lin Yibai had worked hard to obtain from the secret realm.
And the so-called targeting and warnings from Shen Qing mentioned in the diary simply didn't exist!
The diary that Lin Yibai had forged left no way out for Shen Qing.
No wonder in the previous life, True Person Heng Ling and several senior brothers had firmly believed that it was Shen Qing who had caused Lin Yibai to be seriously injured and in a coma. After that, they had regarded her as an enemy and humiliated her in every way.
What a scheming woman!
Shen Qing picked up her sword and quickly chopped the diary into pieces. Then she burned the pieces until there was nothing left but ashes. Shen Qing, in a fit of anger, threw the ashes off the cliff, and they were carried away by the wind.
After Shen Qing had done all this, Lin Yibai, who was lying on the bed, frowned slightly, as if she was having some reaction.
