Chapter 151: What does she take him for?!

Bai Mu Mu had never suffered such humiliation, especially when Shen Sang Ruo raised a mocking brow at her, as if watching a good show.

Anger blazed higher in Bai Mu Mu’s chest, and her hatred deepened. [This is nothing. Shen Sang Ruo is only proud for a moment.]

[The final winner will be me, Bai Mu Mu.]

She summoned the System, rolled her eyes back, and fainted on the spot.

Before, if Bai Mu Mu fainted, Feng He Yun would at least help her up. Now he did not even spare her a glance. He only blamed her for fainting at the worst time.

He urged the other man: “Third Junior Brother, say something too!”

Earlier, Lu Shi Qing had been the first to lose control and charge forward, but now only Feng He Yun was agitated.

Lu Shi Qing seemed like a different person. He only clenched his fist and fixed a cold stare on Shen Sang Ruo and Bai Ruo An.

None of the others noticed that Lu Shi Qing had already crushed the bones in his own palm.

His dark eyes hid thoughts that made one’s back turn cold.

Suddenly, Feng He Yun brightened as if remembering a key point: “Right. The Firefly Gu Worm!”

Bai Ruo An’s eyes shifted slightly.

Feng He Yun cried out: “You went to the Old Shaman to find a Firefly Gu Worm to cure Third Junior Brother’s Gu Poison!”

He took a half step forward and pleaded: “You still care about us. How could you have joined a new sect?”

But his so-called key proof only made the three across from him smile.

Bai Ruo An said mildly: “The Firefly Gu Worm was something Junior Sister found for me. When did it become something she found for this Fellow Daoist?”

He looked at Lu Shi Qing with open mockery.

There was a clear crack.

Lu Shi Qing’s expression did not change, but the pain in his palm could not press down the darkness in his heart. [For him? It was for him?]

[She called someone else ‘Third Senior Brother,’ and even the Firefly Gu Worm was for that man.]

[She never thought of me. Then what am I to her?]

The Gu insect left in his body fed on his roiling emotions and gnawed at him from within.

Feng He Yun, struck like by lightning, stared blankly: “W-what? It wasn’t for Third Junior Brother?”

Hearing that, Lu Shi Qing shot him a vicious glare.

Shen Sang Ruo had not expected that Lu Shi Qing also needed a Firefly Gu Worm, or that they knew she had taken it.

She said with a cold smile: “I never noticed how you two love to steal the spotlight. Whatever someone else does, you try to claim it.”

“I already said we are enemies. I will only stand against you. Why would I help you?”

“We… we aren’t…” Pain flashed across Feng He Yun’s face.

Bai Ruo An dealt the blow without mercy: “A month ago, when my Junior Sister returned from the Phantom Mirage Domain, she gave the Firefly Gu Worm to me at once.”

He tilted his head toward Lu Shi Qing: “Why would this Fellow Daoist think my Junior Sister’s Firefly Gu Worm was for him? After more than a month of not seeing her at all, didn’t you find that odd?”

He said “my Junior Sister” again and again in the lightest tone, which only made things worse. Feng He Yun’s face turned red, and Lu Shi Qing’s turned black. The look Lu Shi Qing gave Bai Ruo An was full of venom, as if he wanted to tear him apart.

Feng He Yun shouted: “What Junior Sister? She is our Fifth Junior Sister!”

His eyes went hazy. He remembered how, before Bai Mu Mu came, they had called Shen Sang Ruo “Junior Sister” just as closely.

So why had things become like this?

He ground his teeth and bragged: “Our Flying Cloud Sect is the number one sect in the Cultivation World. Our Master is the top Cultivator today, Master Ling Xiao.”

He jabbed a finger at Ye Huai and Bai Ruo An: “What hole did your little sect crawl out of, to try to steal someone from Thunder-Scale Peak?”

“I’m telling you, it’s impossible. Don’t even think about it. My Master and Sect Master Shen will never agree.”

Shen Dao Chen had been Shen Sang Ruo’s father for years. He would not watch her jump into a fire pit.

He fixed Shen Sang Ruo with a harsh stare: “When did your judgment get this bad? How can a sect like that, and people like them, compare to the Flying Cloud Sect and us?”

His eyes swept over Ye Huai and Bai Ruo An, and his hostility toward Ye Huai was obvious.

“You will regret this. You definitely will.”

Shen Sang Ruo could only laugh at his certainty.

She said: “Those two people you claim will not agree, which one of them hasn’t been wishing I would leave the Flying Cloud Sect? Feng He Yun, do you even believe yourself?”

“My judgment was poor before. That’s why I misread people and treated you as trustworthy.”

Feng He Yun’s eyes flickered. They could make it up to her. It was all a misunderstanding. He opened his mouth to speak.

But her face turned cold, and in the next instant the Luan Feather Fan was already in her hand.

She warned him: “If you dare to insult my current sect or my Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters again, you already know the result from your time in the Phantom Mirage Domain.”

Feng He Yun gaped: “You would actually hit me for their sake?” He still looked ready to argue with her.

Ye Huai said in an icy voice: “Our Junior Sister has made herself very clear, Fellow Daoist. Stop pestering her.”

Bai Ruo An spoke unhurriedly: “You know what you did to her. The most important thing is to know your limits. After what you did, you still dream she will go back?”

Feng He Yun roared: “What do you know? Our years of friendship are not for outsiders like you to judge!”

Ye Huai raised his sword and said coldly: “Step aside, or don’t blame us for being rude.”

Feng He Yun also drew his Life-Bound Sword, but he and the not fully recovered Lu Shi Qing, plus a fainted Bai Mu Mu, were no match for the three standing with Shen Sang Ruo.

He shot a look at Lu Shi Qing, hoping for support.

Lu Shi Qing, however, stayed silent. He carefully lifted Bai Mu Mu from the ground as if she were a precious treasure. The obsession and madness in his eyes faded. Toward Shen Sang Ruo, he seemed to return to that old cold indifference. Only tenderness remained for Bai Mu Mu.

Then, all at once, he shook Bai Mu Mu hard and forced her awake.

He asked in a gentle voice: “Junior Sister, are you alright?”

Turning to the baffled Feng He Yun, he said, word by word: “First Senior Brother, we should take Junior Sister back to heal. Don’t delay her injuries for people who don’t matter.”
