True Person Hongdie curled her red lips, her upturned fox-like eyes filled with anticipation.
She wanted to see just how many evil deeds this disciple, who was reviled by everyone in the same sect, had committed.
She glanced at Hong Chaoyang, issuing a silent warning.
My daughter, you'd better see clearly. After recognizing your own incompetence, come back to your mother obediently. Your mother will arrange everything for you. Don't go against your mother anymore.
True Person Hongdie recalled how Hong Chaoyang had stubbornly defied her when she ordered her to stay away from Shen Qing yesterday. Just thinking about it made her feel irritated.
So, driven by a bit of personal resentment, True Person Hongdie roughly injected a surge of spiritual power into Shen Qing's spiritual sea without showing any mercy.
True Person Hengling and Lin Yibai wanted to step forward to stop her, but they never expected True Person Hongdie to act so quickly.
Now, it was too late for them to stop her.
Lin Yibai felt extremely remorseful, but she consoled herself inwardly.
It's okay. Even if Shen Qing is expelled from the sect, she still has a chance to seize the spiritual bone.
Lin Yibai was confident in this regard. Before, she had deliberately let Shen Qing suppress her, and she had done it seamlessly. The same was true in the secret realm. Even Shen Qing herself wasn't sure if it was because of her that she had fallen into a coma.
As long as such ambiguous scenes appeared, Lin Yibai was confident that she could make everyone believe that Shen Qing had committed evil deeds.
"Mother!"
Seeing Shen Qing's pained expression, Hong Chaoyang couldn't help but let out a startled cry.
"Please... True Person Hongdie... start from... the memory when I first entered the sect..."
Dense beads of sweat oozed from Shen Qing's forehead. The pain of the spiritual power invading her spiritual sea almost made her faint.
True Person Hongdie raised her eyebrows, a hint of seriousness appearing in her eyes.
If they were to start from the time when she entered the sect, the time for the soul-searching would be prolonged. If there weren't really some hidden secrets, why would Shen Qing insist on this?
"As you wish."
True Person Hongdie made a hand seal and gently placed it on Shen Qing's forehead with one hand, while holding the image stone with the other.
This image stone could synchronously project the memories that True Person Hongdie saw for everyone to see.
In the light screen in the main hall, a young girl with a tender face appeared. She was dirty all over, but her big eyes on her face looked bright and clear.
That little girl was Shen Qing when she first came to the Qingyun Sword Sect.
Little Shen Qing was holding a tattered small bundle in her arms. She was brought by the disciple guarding the mountain gate to the front of Shen Chuyun on Nianbai Peak.
At this time, Shen Chuyun was wearing a jade crown. Since he had been well taken care of in the Qingyun Sword Sect, his body had fully grown. He was more than two heads taller than Shen Qing.
"Brother, this is what I brought for you. You liked these the most when you were at home."
Little Shen Qing opened the tattered cloth bag, revealing the neatly arranged and very clean things inside: a cloth tiger, a jade pendant, some small toys that children liked, and some mortal money.
She happily placed the things in front of Shen Chuyun, but didn't notice the gloomy look on Shen Chuyun's face.
"You came to the Qingyun Sword Sect just to give me these useless things?!"
Shen Chuyun suppressed his anger and swept the things off. The clean cloth tiger rolled in the dirt and became dirty because of the dust.
Little Shen Qing was startled and quickly went to pick up the things.
As soon as her hand touched the cloth tiger, it was suddenly stepped on by a gorgeous boot. Little Shen Qing looked up and saw that the owner of the boot was Shen Chuyun.
He pressed down hard on Little Shen Qing's hand a few times, and the disgust on his face was as if he was seeing an enemy.
"Why did you come to the Qingyun Sword Sect? Do you want to take away everything I have now? Yes! At that time, the master wanted you. It was our mother who swapped our spots, but you're a girl, a good-for-nothing!
"Why can't you just stay in Xiaolin Village and marry that disgusting old bachelor!
"Shen Qing, let me tell you. Even if you're in the Qingyun Sword Sect now, so what? I've already joined the sect. I'm the disciple recognized by True Person Hengling after paying respects to heaven and earth. Don't even think about taking away what's mine!"
At the end of the scene, it was Little Shen Qing crying. She sobbed and stretched out her scarred hand to pick up the things on the ground one by one...
The on - looking disciples never expected the situation to develop like this. Some of the more emotional female disciples had already started wiping their tears and cursing Shen Chuyun hundreds of times in their hearts.
At the same time, the fact that Shen Qing was Shen Chuyun's older sister was also known to everyone in the sect.
Those who had previously thought that Shen Qing was lying were immediately slapped in the face.
Shen Chuyun recalled this incident from the depths of his memory.
A sudden sense of panic welled up in his heart. At that time, he had only thought that he was doing the right thing, but why did he look so twisted and ugly in the light screen?
Xiaolin Village was poor. Shen Chuyun had finally gotten the chance to come to the Qingyun Sword Sect and had lived a good life for a few years.
He had never thought that he would meet Shen Qing one day.
The disciple that True Person Hengling originally wanted to accept was Shen Qing. If it weren't for Shen's father and mother's stubborn resistance and swapping Shen Qing's spot to enter the sect, this good life wouldn't have been his.
How could he be willing? From childhood to adulthood, his parents had always said that Shen Qing was a good-for-nothing, but he was different. He was a boy and was going to bring glory to the family.
So, how could he let Shen Qing take away everything he had finally obtained?
The looks that the crowd gave Shen Chuyun became more meaningful.
Lin Yibai never expected that when Shen Qing first entered the sect, Shen Chuyun had done such things to her. She glared at Shen Chuyun angrily.
She had finally managed to make everyone think that Shen Qing was a devious and ill - intentioned person, but now, just this one memory had already started to change everyone's opinion of Shen Qing.
True Person Hengling's face also looked bad. He never expected that Shen Chuyun, who had seemed polite to Shen Qing on the surface, was actually like this behind her back.
The scene slowly blurred and then changed to another one.
This time, Little Shen Qing had already changed into the sect's clothing, but the sleeves and the hem of the skirt were very long, making it difficult for Little Shen Qing to walk.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and trotted with difficulty, following behind True Person Hengling.
"Master, please slow down. I can't keep up."
Although True Person Hengling was comforting her with his mouth, his eyes didn't look at Little Shen Qing. He walked on the steep hillside as if walking on flat ground, striding forward quickly.
Little Shen Qing timidly looked down. The cold wind blowing from the bottomless cliff made her face turn pale with fright.
Finally reaching the top of the mountain, True Person Hengling slowed down his steps and pulled Little Shen Qing's hand towards the figure in moon - white clothes.
"Master!"
The figure in moon - white clothes turned around, revealing Lin Yibai's charming face with a blooming smile. But when she saw True Person Hengling holding Shen Qing's hand, that charming face became disappointed.
Seeing Lin Yibai's reaction, True Person Hengling's smile in his eyes deepened.
Next, True Person Hengling taught Little Shen Qing how to practice kung fu hand in hand. Whenever Little Shen Qing did something wrong, True Person Hengling patiently explained it to her.
But Lin Yibai on the side could only practice on her own. Several times when she wanted to ask True Person Hengling some questions, True Person Hengling was concentrating on teaching Shen Qing and ignored her.
Seeing this, everyone thought that it seemed that True Person Hengling was really biased.
Even True Person Hengling let out a sigh of relief.
But slowly, everyone began to notice something was wrong.
