What If: Transmigrating into the Original Story (1)

"I saw it! She's the one who hurt Junior Sister Su!"

Sang Ying woke up to a commotion. She tried to move her hands and feet, only to find that they were tightly bound, making it difficult for her to move even slightly.

Moreover, there appeared to be a scar on her lower back and abdomen, and the burning pain constantly reminded her that the injury had not been properly treated.

Something's not right. She has clearly already advanced to the Immortal Venerable, and is only one step away from becoming Immortal Emperor. Her parents, friends, and fellow disciples have also ascended one after another.

In the current Immortal Realm, she can practically walk sideways. Anyone who knows about Sang Ying's relationship with the Southern Immortal Emperor Gu Wangchuan would not dare to target her.

What puzzled Sang Ying even more was that, given her current cultivation level, only Immortal Emperor should be able to trap her. So why would Immortal Emperor have nothing better to do than target her?

The chattering continued, giving Sang Ying a headache, but she had no choice but to keep listening.

Before she opened her eyes, the person who had spoken earlier continued, "I saw it with my own eyes. It was Sang Ying pushed Junior Sister Su. If she weren't so vicious, Junior Sister Su wouldn't have been hurt!"

Junior Sister Su?

Sang Ying suddenly opened her eyes. The male disciple who was pointing at her was startled by her sudden gaze, and even his finger pointing at her curled up involuntarily.

The man's guilty conscience was so obvious, but Sang Ying ignored it and instead looked up at the people above.

They were all acquaintances... Su Fuyun, who had been dead for who knows how long, the former sect leader of the Flowing Light Sword Sect, whom she had almost forgotten, and Gu Huaiwei, whose face was full of indifference.

Sang Ying sensed her cultivation level and was surprised to find that she was only Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. However, Su Fuyun, who stood behind Gu Huaiwei on the steps, exuded the aura of the Golden Core Realm cultivator.

So, she's arrived in another world, a world where her fate has been altered and she's unable to save herself?

How interesting, Sang Ying thought to herself.

Perhaps it was the unexpected calmness on her face that prompted Gu Huaiwei, standing on the steps, to unusually ask, "Sang Ying, do you plead guilty?"

"What crime do I plead guilty to?" Sang Ying found it amusing.

Gu Huaiwei his lips as if to say something, but Su Fuyun behind him stepped forward and said, "It's alright, Master. I know my junior sister just didn't think things through for a moment, that's why she made a mistake. I don't blame her, please don't be angry."

The more Su Fuyun said this, the more Gu Huaiwei frowned.

"Sang Ying, if you confess your guilt, I will be lenient with you." Gu Huaiwei seemed not to understand her words and continued to extend his leniency.

Unexpectedly, Sang Ying burst out laughing on the spot, "Although I've seen this scene before, I still find you all a bit disgusting when I actually face it."

She remained silent until she spoke, at which point she offended most of those present.

Especially since Sang Ying was speaking while looking at Gu Huaiwei and the sect leader, not only did Su Fuyun's admirers start criticizing her, but even some elders who followed the sect leader's lead were so angry that their noses twisted.

"What are you saying, child? You made a mistake and you deserve to be punished. Your master only said a few extra words. Quickly apologize to your master and the sect leader!" An elder who had received Sang Zheng's blessings stepped forward, trying to force Sang Ying to apologize to the two people in front of her, but Sang Ying remained unmoved.

She dodged the elder's outstretched hand, and with a slight exertion, the ropes binding her snapped. But at the same time, the wound on her waist and abdomen reopened due to this movement.

Sang Ying slowly stood up. "Although I don't know why I'm here, I don't want to waste my time with you. I'm not wrong, and I won't admit it. I don't need Gu Huaiwei as my master. Settled Frost Peak is my parents' peak, and from now on I will stay on Settled Frost Peak. You don't need to worry about me anymore."

After saying this, Sang Ying quickly found her Storage Bag on her person. She searched through the Storage Bag for a long time before finally pulling out a jade talisman.

Sang Ying tossed the jade talisman towards Gu Huaiwei, but Gu Huaiwei seemed to think it was something dangerous and shattered it before it even got close.

"I forgot to mention, that was a gift from Immortal Venerable Yanchen when I became his disciple. I've never dared to use it, so I'll just return it to you today." Sang Ying explained only after the jade talisman had crumbled into powder.

In an instant, the expressions of those present changed again.

Even though everyone knew that Immortal Venerable Yanchen didn't care much about his second disciple, it was still a bit unreasonable that he couldn't even recognize the gift he gave the disciple as a formal apprenticeship present.

At this moment, not to mention others, even Gu Huaiwei's own expression changed.

"We know you've been wronged, but the matter of becoming a disciple was already made public. You can't just say you don't want your master anymore. What face would that leave Immortal Venerable Yanchen with?!" The elder who had previously scolded Sang Ying continued to persuade her, trying to deflect Gu Huaiwei's question.

But Sang Ying's intention was not to argue about who was right or wrong; she simply did not want to become Gu Huaiwei's disciple.

Seeing that she couldn't continue the conversation with the elders, Sang Ying had no choice but to explain, "I'm not acting impulsively, nor am I trying to throw a tantrum. I feel I'm capable of living independently on Settled Frost Peak. From now on, I don't need Immortal Venerable Yanchen's protection or his guidance. I genuinely don't want to continue being Immortal Venerable Yanchen's disciple."

"Perhaps in your eyes, being the Sword Master's disciple is a wonderful thing, but I don't think it is. Gu Huaiwei is not suitable to be a master."

Regardless of which world Gu Huaiwei, he failed to properly teach any of his disciples.

The other Sang Ying was taught by him to only know how to cultivate in seclusion, without understanding the principles of self-cultivation and spiritual training. As for herself, she was ignored by Gu Huaiwei for many years, and even the good things she obtained with all her might were given to Su Fuyun without complaint.

Even Su Fuyun's infatuation with him—wasn't that also a result of his own improper behavior and deliberate seduction?

If Gu Huaiwei truly regarded Su Fuyun as his disciple, given the father-son relationship between master and disciple in the Cultivation World, how could Su Fuyun possibly develop feelings for him?

Faced with Sang Ying's bold words, Gu Huaiwei finally couldn't listen anymore.

He suddenly stood up, his brows furrowed tightly. "Since you are so unwilling to stay on Crimson Snow Peak, then you may leave on your own! After all, I haven't announced your identity to the world, so from now on you are no longer my disciple, Gu Huaiwei!"

After saying this, Gu Huaiwei turned and left. Su Fuyun, who was following behind him, naturally didn't stay either. She gave Gu Huaiwei a provocative smile from afar and then followed him away.

Having achieved a satisfactory result, Sang Ying returned to Settled Frost Peak amidst the bewildered discussions and ridicule of the crowd. What followed was a long period of seclusion lasting a hundred years.

A hundred years later, a bolt of lightning struck the direction of Settled Frost Peak. The disciples of the Flowing Light Sword Sect were astonished and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a fellow disciple living on that mountain that had been sealed off for a hundred years.
