I'm Willing to Endure It for You

A grand sect competition seemed to have exhausted all of Su Fuyun's luck.

Even though her cultivation level wasn't high before, Su Fuyun managed to thrive in the Mara Gate by virtue of her title as a Holy Maiden and her unique ability that made male cultivators unable to resist her charm.

However, after the last competition, she suffered a crushing defeat in the preliminary rounds of the individual competition against an opposing cultivator, and then she was involved in a false accusation, which caused Mara Gate to lose its ranking.

Everyone thought that Su Fuyun should be punished for making such a big mistake.

However, the sect leader only sentenced her to a few lashes.

That was bad enough, but what they didn't expect was that the Mara Gate disciples later discovered that this saintess, whom they considered noble and beautiful, was secretly keeping a Seven Emotions Pavilion cultivator in her courtyard!

The fact that he was secretly keeping a cultivator from another sect, and that person was also quite handsome, made it obvious to everyone.

The Mara Gate had given Su Fuyun so many Cultivation Resources, yet he hadn't advanced to the Nascent Soul yet, which was enough to anger the other disciples.

Now, seeing another outsider cultivator who, because of Su Fuyun's connection, received resources they themselves couldn't enjoy, how could the others possibly accept this?

Therefore, they objected so strongly when the sect leader announced that the team going to the Black Tortoise Realm to provide support was led by Su Fuyun.

Although the disciples of the Mara Gate possessed extraordinary Spirit Root due to special circumstances, their character was not commensurate with their superior Spirit Root.

They are unable to think from the sect's perspective, and place more emphasis on their own interests.

Even the sect leader cannot compare with their interests.

But how could these disciples possibly sway the sect leader's decision?

After this matter was made public, anyone who dared to express their dissatisfaction soon fell silent.

When others asked them why, they remained silent, much quieter than before.

After some time, for some unknown reason, these people's Spirit Root developed problems, and their cultivation regressed instead of progressing. When their families learned of this, they quickly came to their door and took them home, saying that "since they can't cultivate, staying here is just a waste of time."

Whether they were actually taken home, and why their Spirit Root malfunctioned, were not matters of concern to the Mara Gate.

After this incident, the disciples became much more obedient. Even if they still harbored resentment towards Su Fuyun, they kept it to themselves. At most, they would gossip about it a few times when no one was around.

Su Fuyun didn't care about this at all; all she knew was that her chance to make a name for herself was about to arrive!

"That's the matter, Sang Ying. You should think it over carefully." Under the extremely disapproving gazes of his junior brothers and sisters, Elder Xiao forced himself to explain the situation of the Black Tortoise Realm to Sang Ying.

"No need to consider it," Sang Ying said. "I am willing to go to the Black Tortoise Realm!"

"Sang Ying!" "Sang Sang!"

The three calls came from Jiulian and the Sang Zheng couple, respectively.

Although the three of them had guessed that Sang Ying would make this choice, they really didn't expect Sang Ying to answer so decisively.

Jiulian sighed inwardly, thinking that if his disciple had spoken a little later, he could have helped him get some benefits from his senior brother!

Sang Ying knew what the three were thinking, but she still insisted on her own idea. "Father, Mother, Master, I know you are worried about me, but I still want to go to the Black Tortoise Realm."

Firstly, after hearing the words "Black Tortoise Realm," a voice urged her to agree, as if she would lose something very important to her if she didn't go.

Secondly, Sang Ying also felt that Elder Xiao's words made sense. Going to fight against the beast tide was indeed a good opportunity to increase practical experience and help her break through her cultivation level.

Sang Ying didn't want to give up this opportunity. She was only at the Golden Core. Not to mention facing the Beast God who hadn't even appeared yet, she couldn't even defeat the Demon Lord who had helped Su Fuyun plot against her.

That won't do!

"Father, Mother, we've been separated for so long, and I wish we could live together peacefully forever. But I've long known the dangers of the path to immortality, and I can no longer be content with enjoying life under your protection as before." These were Sang Ying's true feelings.

Looking at their daughter's resolute expression, Sang Zheng Wen Miaoshu felt their words of advice suddenly stuck in their throats.

Wen Miaoshu suddenly felt a pang of sadness. The child who used to depend on them and show vulnerability was no longer there.

This wasn't their fault, nor was it Sang Ying's fault. It was all just a cruel twist of fate.

"Alright." Finally, Sang Zheng was the first to speak, "Now you're more like a true sword cultivator, more like a disciple of Ten Thousand Daos Born!"

He no longer wants Sang Ying to have anything to do with the Flowing Light Sword Sect.

Seeing Wen Miaoshu forced a smile at her daughter, "Since you've thought it through, your parents won't stop you. Just take good care of yourself and don't be reckless. Remember, we're here waiting for you to come back."

Just as Sang Ying had seen them off before, now the two of them were sending their daughter off to walk her own path.

Since the other person's parents had already agreed, Jiulian naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Before her disciple left, she quietly prepared many elixirs and talismans for her.

After obtaining Jiulian's permission, Fang Chi and the others were also arranged to go to the peak where Sang Ying and the others were located.

It was precisely because of this that Fang Chi and the others quickly learned that Sang Ying was about to go to the Black Tortoise Realm.

The group had come specifically for Sang Ying, and if she left, the two of them certainly wouldn't stay either.

After much deliberation, Fang Chi took the initiative to approach Jiulian and explained that they both wanted to join the group and travel to the Black Tortoise Realm.

Elder Xiao originally disagreed with this matter, but after learning about the two people's cultivation levels and seeing their persistence, he relented and arranged for them to join the team.

However, compared to their polite and courteous treatment of Fang Chi and Hai Tingzhou, Ten Thousand Daos Born and the others' attitude towards Jiang Zhuoxue seemed somewhat harsh.

Leaving aside the young ladies like Dong Fuzhu, even the junior brothers like Bai Kejin caused Jiang Zhuoxue a lot of trouble.

It can be said that during her stay at Ten Thousand Daos Born's place, Jiang Zhuoxue was either being harassed or on her way to being harassed.

Sometimes even Sang Ying couldn't stand it and took the initiative to tell them to let Jiang Zhuoxue off the hook.

Since Sang Ying had already spoken up about this matter, and everyone had been reprimanded by their senior sister, they should naturally have restrained themselves.

But Jiang Zhuoxue seemed oblivious to why he was being targeted. When Sang Ying spoke up for him, he deliberately put on a pitiful act and said to Sang Ying, "It's all my fault. I upset them. Don't worry, no matter how they treat me, I'm willing to endure it for you."

As soon as she said that, Sang Ying immediately regretted meddling in other people's business.

Enraged by his sarcastic remarks, the crowd became even more determined to teach this guy who coveted their senior sister a lesson.

Jiang Zhuoxue, abandoning his previous tolerant and forgiving attitude, began to retaliate fiercely after realizing that he had failed to elicit Sang Ying's sympathy.

Therefore, beneath Ten Thousand Daos Born's outward calm, countless open and covert struggles erupted.

Fortunately, the fight didn't last long, as the reinforcements for the Black Tortoise Realm had already been arranged. Everyone prepared to leave.

A note from the author:

Jiang Zhuoxue, a cunning man who has silently mastered the art of manipulating women.

Sang Ying a straightforward swordsman who doesn't take the bait and only finds the male lead annoying.
