The Grudge's Origins

Inside the stone chamber.

Seeing a trace of understanding cross Cheng Buzheng's face, Murong Wanwan asked him about it.

In response,

Cheng Buzheng kept nothing from her and recounted the matter in detail.

After hearing him out!

"Husband, why don't you leave the White Cloud Sect and join our sect?"

"That way, we can be together!"

Murong Wanwan said indignantly.

Clearly, she was deeply displeased with Ancestor Zhong's change of heart. She had even selectively filtered out his reminder that Cheng Buzheng shouldn't be too rough with her.

At that moment, all she could think about was Ancestor Zhong's plot against her husband.

At this,

Cheng Buzheng stroked Murong Wanwan's exquisite cheek and smiled.

"If you leave the sect, Ancestor Zhong will surely come after you with murderous intent!"

"Let's wait and see what happens in the future."

"No way!" Murong Wanwan said, unconvinced.

"If you join the Green Wood Sect and my master vouches for you, would True Lord Zhong really come knocking?"

"After all, my master is his daughter!"

"And over the years, our sect has often made the White Cloud Sect lose face, but he's never done anything about it."

"That's different!"

"If you defect from the sect, the nature of the matter changes!"

"Defection is a great taboo in the cultivation world. If one person sets that precedent, cultivators from other sects will follow suit, and the sect will soon fall apart."

"Unless you have permission, you'd best not even think about leaving your sect."

"If your master went to him, there might be a chance. But escaping on your own is out of the question."

"Come to think of it, do you think there's any chance your master would go to him?"

Cheng Buzheng didn't know the history of grievances between the Green Wood Sect
