"What on earth are you doing here, acting like a madman?"
Shen Chuyun was momentarily stunned, seemingly unaccustomed to Shen Qing's attitude.
In the past, Shen Qing had always spoken to him softly, not even daring to say a harsh word. She would never have been so sharp - tongued with him like this.
"You..."
Shen Qing didn't want to waste any more words on Shen Chuyun. She sidestepped him and intended to leave.
She remembered that a secret realm would open in a few months. There would be a great opportunity within it, but only those who had reached the Golden Core realm could enter.
So, Shen Qing now had an important task: to form her Golden Core before the secret realm opened.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing felt a headache coming on. In her previous life, she had died before successfully forming her Golden Core. This time, with such a tight schedule, she wasn't confident that she could succeed.
She had to seize every second to practice. She simply didn't have the time to argue with Shen Chuyun here.
Seeing that Shen Qing was about to leave, Shen Chuyun angrily blocked her way.
He questioned her furiously, "What's this attitude of yours? Junior Sister Xiaobai is still unconscious because of her serious injuries... How can you act like nothing has happened!"
"Humph, I know you're jealous of Junior Sister Xiaobai. It's fine that you didn't give her the Foundation - Consolidating Pill, but now you should immediately come with me to take care of her."
"Also, you haven't taken care of Junior Sister Xiaobai's flower garden for ages. How can you be so lazy? If Junior Sister Xiaobai wakes up and finds her flowers withered, she'll be unhappy."
After saying that, Shen Chuyun even tried to grab Shen Qing and take her away.
But Shen Qing shook off his hand first, and her expression instantly turned cold.
"If you want to take care of her, go by yourself. Don't drag me into this."
Shen Chuyun was so angry that his face turned red. He looked at Shen Qing in disbelief.
"What did you say?!"
"Junior Sister Xiaobai is in a coma. What's wrong with you taking care of her for a while? Besides, you've always been the one taking care of her flower garden. How can you just stop going? You're so irresponsible."
It was true that people could be laughed at by anger.
Hearing Shen Chuyun's words, Shen Qing couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
This was her younger brother with blood - relation. Every word of his was filled with dissatisfaction towards her, and the disgust in his eyes was almost palpable.
Shen Qing really didn't understand what heinous crime she had committed to make Shen Chuyun bear so much malice towards her.
But she didn't want to know the answer anymore. Now that Shen Chuyun was in front of her, she only found him extremely annoying.
"You got into the Qingyun Sword Sect because of my influence and even got a good master. But instead of focusing on your cultivation, you're only thinking about your Junior Sister Xiaobai. You're really unambitious."
"What? Are you in love with her?"
Shen Qing's words were sharp and hit Shen Chuyun right in the heart.
Shen Chuyun's lips moved a few times, and then, as if he was ashamed and angry, he raised his voice.
"What are you talking nonsense about? We're fellow disciples. Isn't it normal for me to worry about Junior Sister Xiaobai? Sure enough, a dirty - minded person sees everything as dirty."
"You even dare to say that I'm unambitious. At least I've formed my Golden Core. But what about you? You've been a disciple for so long and you're still at the Foundation - Building realm."
"?"
"When did you reach the Foundation - Building realm? Weren't you at the Qi - Refining realm after getting injured in the secret realm?"
Shen Chuyun widened his eyes and scanned Shen Qing up and down.
A cold smile curled up on Shen Qing's lips: "Because I'm different from someone. While someone was taking care of his sweetheart, I was in seclusion for cultivation."
Hearing this, Shen Chuyun showed a look of disdain on his face.
"Seclusion? Who comes out of seclusion after only five days?"
"Don't tell me you're a genius who managed to repair your Dao foundation and restore your cultivation in just five days."
So, five years in the small world only meant five days in the real world?
Shen Qing was thinking, but she still caught the key point in Shen Chuyun's words.
"So you know that my Dao foundation was damaged."
Shen Chuyun was taken aback, and the words he wanted to continue mocking got stuck in his throat.
Of course he knew that Shen Qing's Dao foundation was damaged, but compared to Junior Sister Xiaobai, he simply didn't care whether Shen Qing could recover or not.
Anyway, even if Shen Qing continued to cultivate, she wouldn't make any more progress.
Junior Sister Xiaobai was right. Wasting resources on useless people was unfair to others.
So, Shen Qing shouldn't use those resources. Those resources should be used on Junior Sister Xiaobai!
"Humph..."
Shen Chuyun's silence had already told Shen Qing the answer. So he knew, and he also knew that the Foundation - Consolidating Pill was equally important to her.
But when faced with the choice between her and Lin Yibai, Shen Chuyun still firmly chose Lin Yibai.
"Get out of the way!"
Shen Qing pushed Shen Chuyun aside. There was no point in saying more. Anyway, she had already decided to disown this younger brother.
Shen Chuyun only came to his senses when Shen Qing's figure was about to disappear from his sight. No matter what Shen Qing had said just now, he still thought that she was wrong.
So, he summoned his natal sword, gathered his strength, and waved it in Shen Qing's direction.
"Who said you could leave!"
Shen Qing turned around and summoned Biyue to block this attack.
With her cultivation, she would have been sent flying, but Biyue could easily neutralize the attack of a Golden Core cultivator.
Seeing that his sword qi was blocked, Shen Chuyun's first reaction was that it was impossible.
With Shen Qing's level, she simply couldn't do it.
Thinking about the fact that Shen Qing had repaired her Dao foundation and improved her cultivation in just five days, a possibility immediately popped up in Shen Chuyun's mind.
Shen Qing had practiced demonic arts!
Shen Chuyun thought he had caught Shen Qing's handle, and the anger that had been stirred up by Shen Qing just now was instantly calmed down.
Yes, Shen Qing was such a person.
Hypocritical, shameless, and selfish!
There was a mocking look on Shen Chuyun's face. A strange smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Shen Qing proudly.
"Shen Qing, you've practiced demonic arts, haven't you? I knew it. How could you have made such great progress? For the sake of our being fellow disciples, you should now go to the Law Enforcement Hall and ask to have your cultivation abolished and leave the Qingyun Sword Sect!"
Shen Qing was once again laughed at by Shen Chuyun's arrogance.
Practiced demonic arts?
Abolish her cultivation and leave the Qingyun Sword Sect?
It was true that she was going to leave the Qingyun Sword Sect, but definitely not now!
"Who do you think you are, talking nonsense here? You attacked a fellow disciple without any evidence. Come to think of it, I should go to the Law Enforcement Hall and file a complaint against you!"
"You injured me first, destroyed my house, and even slandered me without any basis. Tell me, which one will the elders in the Law Enforcement Hall punish?!"
Shen Chuyun paused for a moment, and then thought that she must be bluffing out of guilt.
As long as he took Shen Qing to the Law Enforcement Hall and let the elders expose her for practicing demonic arts, the rumor that he had only entered the sect because of Shen Qing would be self - refuted.
By then, he would still be the proud disciple of Real Man Hengling!
"Fine, let's go to the Law Enforcement Hall together. Don't you dare not come!"
After saying that, Shen Chuyun took out his sword and flew towards the Law Enforcement Hall first.
Shen Qing circulated her spiritual power, summoned her sword, and followed behind him.
Actually, she didn't have to go through this. But if she didn't follow Shen Chuyun's wishes this time, he would surely bother her from time to time in the future.
To avoid getting entangled with Shen Chuyun in the future, she had to go this time.
Since she was going to cut off the relationship, she had to do it completely!
Moreover, someone should compensate for all the things she had lost, right?
