This kind of scum should be shattered into dust and scattered between heaven and earth, nourishing all things, instead of remaining to pollute the air.
Opposite.
A window on the top floor of the restaurant closed silently.
Inside the room, a man dressed in a python robe, his face grim, picked up a wine glass from the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"Why didn't you tell me that woman had such good connections within the Sect?"
A somber look settled in the Seventh Prince's dark eyes as he stared intently at the woman opposite him.
Ran Zirou was draped in a light veil, her graceful figure enveloped in the thin fabric, her skin as smooth as jade, captivating to the bone.
She stood by the window, her brows furrowed, a hint of eeriness and madness creeping into her once bright and beautiful face.
How so?
In my memory, Zhu Min had always been a loner within the Sect.
Even though Zhu Min was abused by the Demon Prince in her previous life, and all the other disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect knew about it, no one came to her rescue.
Thinking of everything that happened in her past life, Ran Zirou's eyes grew even colder.
Bao Yuanwu Yu Lin are really good at pretending.
In her past life Zhu Min had begged them for help, but they all hid in their own cave abode and didn't respond. Now, they're pretending to come and rescue Zhu Min's brother?
No, there isn't.
Ran Zirou's voice was icy, "They're all just putting on an act. These guys are all so cold-hearted, yet they always manage to pretend to be warm-hearted."
The Seventh Prince, feeling irritated, drank another cup of wine.
"Miss Ran, I didn't come here to listen to your complaints. What are we going to do now? These guys have saved the person, and Zhu Min is on her way. If she finds out that this was all arranged by the two of us, who will bear the consequences?"
Ran Zirou rubbed her temples, pacing back and forth anxiously. "Wait, let me think."
What happened?
Logically speaking, if she were to scheme against Zhu Min, none of her fellow disciples from the Sect would have appeared.
Firstly, they didn't care about Zhu Min, who was practically invisible, and secondly, they were busy cultivating all day and wouldn't pay attention to such mundane matters.
Why did they suddenly appear at this time?
Suddenly, a terrible thought came to mind.
Have these beings been reborn?
However, she forcibly suppressed the thought as soon as it crossed her mind.
That's definitely not it!
In her past Sect were head over heels in love with her, and they were willing to give their hearts and souls for her.
If they were truly reborn, how could they possibly treat her this way?
Moreover, she brought Zhu Liang's storyline forward this time; if they were reborn, they certainly wouldn't have thought of this.
Could it be... a coincidence?
After a moment of contemplation, a hint of fierceness flashed in Ran Zirou's eyes.
"This Zhu Liang is a coward, so you can rest assured that this matter won't be traced back to us. They won't stay here for long. After they leave, we'll continue our operation and make sure we have Zhu Min under our control."
Ran Zirou's voice was calm and powerful, and these words gave the Seventh Prince a sense of security.
The Seventh Prince's wildly beating heart finally calmed down a little.
He tilted his head back and took a sip of wine, and thinking of Zhu Liang's actions in stopping the powerful man from killing Zou Tianlu, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.
Despite being bullied so badly by Zou Tianlu, Zhu Liang still let him go.
How cowardly and incompetent!
Those powerful individuals were quite strong, yet they protected a coward like Zhu Liang; what a pity.
"How can you be sure they won't stay here for long?" the Seventh Prince asked, frowning.
Ran Zirou gave a cold laugh.
"I know these people. Fu Chaoqing is a bookworm who only cares about his Medicinal Pill. Bao Yuanwu is all brawn and no brain. Yu Lin looks neither male nor female. That Li Zi isn't very bright. Although they and Zhu Min are from the same school, they are not familiar with each other, so how can they have any feelings for each other?"
"This was probably just a chance encounter; don't worry, they'll be gone soon."
Overjoyed at being rescued, Zhu Liang invited the three of them to his lodgings.
Li Zi happily pushed Zhu Liang's Wheelchair.
She turned to Bao Yuanwu curiously and asked, "Senior brother, how do you know he's Fifth Senior Sister's brother?"
She remembered that in the original novel, Zhu Min was a taciturn and aloof Sword Cultivator who always kept to himself and never discussed private matters with anyone in the Sect.
Even until the Sect was destroyed, no one knew that Zhu Min had a younger brother in the Mortal World or that she had helped homeless children.
Bao Yuanwu opened his mouth, unsure how to explain, and could only look to Yu Lin and Fu Chaoqing for help.
Fu Chaoqing cleared his throat. "Fifth Junior Sister was rescued by Master. To confirm her identity, the Sect conducted a special investigation."
Yu Lin in, "Yes, we came here because we knew that Fifth Junior Sister's relatives were here, so we stopped by to visit."
Zhu Liang was moved to tears. "Are all of Immortal my sister Zhu Min's senior brothers and sisters? You all treat my sister so well. I thought Immortal were all focused on cultivation and didn't care about worldly affairs. I didn't expect that Immortal also value the bond between senior and junior brothers and sisters."
That's a bit embarrassing to say.
The stereotype about Zhu Liang is correct.
That's really how it is in the Cultivation World.
Everyone focuses on their own cultivation, so even within the same Sect, fellow disciples don't maintain close contact with each other.
Most of the time, everyone cultivates in their own cave abode, only cooperating with each other when Secret Realm is opened.
But after leaving the Secret Realm, they went their separate ways and rarely kept in touch.
Since entering the Sect, Zhu Min has been living a secluded life, rarely seen in public. They really didn't know if she had any relatives.
