The If Timeline (Nine)
When Su Fuyun barged in, Sang Ying was taking inventory of the things on Settled Frost Peak.
When she returned to the sect, she told her parents that she was coming back to undergo her tribulation and take care of some matters. After resolving these matters, Sang Ying would naturally return to the Immortal Spirit Realm to reunite with them.
Now, Bai Ji and her group have been completely divided by her instigation, and several factions have begun to fight each other.
If Su Fuyun had been able to find them and sincerely comfort them when the conflict first broke out, there might have been room for reconciliation.
Unfortunately, Sang Ying stopped Su Fuyun without telling her what had happened. By the time Su Fuyun learned the truth, it was too late to undo the damage.
The four male confidants she had painstakingly cultivated were ruined by Sang Ying. No matter how much Su Fuyun tried to persuade herself that a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan, she simply couldn't swallow her anger.
She stormed into Sang Ying's room, and the moment she saw her, she yelled, "You did it, didn't you? You madwoman! You knew how important those four people were to me, yet you still resorted to such a treacherous scheme. Now look what's happened, all four of them have broken ties and abandoned me. Are you happy now?!"
Sang Ying coldly watched the person who had suddenly barged into her room, but felt no anger.
She knew that Su Fuyun's reckless confrontation with her stemmed from fear. She feared that Sang Ying destroy her advantages and take away everything she currently possessed.
However, this is exactly what Sang Ying wants to do.
"Do you know who you're blaming? What, two months of punishment hasn't cleared your head? You want to rebel?"
Su Fuyun sneered, "Don't make it sound so serious. Do you dare to hurt me? Before, I led the entire sect to oppose you, and you only took it lightly. If something really happens to me, do you think Master will let you off the hook?"
Su Fuyun grew more and more confident as she spoke, knowing exactly what kind of person Sang Ying was, which was why she dared to come to her door so boldly.
Even though Sang Ying had never seen Gu Huaiwei in the past hundred years, she seemed to have really changed her personality and no longer Gu Huaiwei.
But Su Fuyun firmly believed that this was nothing more than Sang Ying's tactic of feigning retreat to advance; how could she possibly let go of such a powerful and handsome master as Gu Huaiwei?
Sang Ying found these words increasingly ridiculous. "You think that just because Gu Huaiwei protecting you, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"
Su Fuyun didn't speak, but the arrogance and certainty on her face clearly told Sang Ying what she meant.
Sang Ying couldn't help but chuckle, "You're really bold."
She suddenly raised her hand, and the Spiritual Power of Spirit Transformation cultivator surged forth, transforming into an invisible hand that gripped Su Fuyun's neck.
Su Fuyun wanted to block, but her cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul, and she had only advanced through methods. How could she compare to Sang Ying, who was a genuine Spirit Transformation?
The hand completely ignored Su Fuyun's ineffective counterattack and gripped her throat tightly.
"You never seem to learn your lesson. You know I've already Spirit Transformation, yet you still provoke me. Haven't you noticed that I'm already clipping your wings?" Sang Ying had no intention of letting Su Fuyun go, including Qi Yaoji behind her and the insane Gu Huaiwei.
She didn't let these people go in her past life, and naturally she won't let them go in this one.
When Sang Ying first formed her Golden Core, she wanted to find the whereabouts of the immortal Gu Huaiwei, but who knew that the other party would hide so well and not reveal a single clue.
It was only in recent years that she discovered some clues from the strange events in several small worlds.
So, besides packing up the things she couldn't take from Settled Frost Peak, Sang Ying also came back this time to first launch an attack on Su Fuyun.
She dealt with the other woman's male confidant and then publicly broke off all ties with her.
Everything was going smoothly until Sang Ying realized that Su Fuyun was so foolish as to dare to come and provoke Gu Huaiwei while she was in seclusion.
Thinking this, the transparent hand tightened its grip even more.
Su Fuyun felt as if she could almost hear the bones in her throat creaking. She knew very well that if this continued, she might really die!
Su Fuyun struggled incessantly, desperately trying to break free of the hands around her neck.
But this hand was formed from Spiritual Power, and Su Fuyun couldn't touch it at all.
Seeing that he was really going to die, Su Fuyun was filled with regret, but it was too late.
She used her last bit of strength to pull out a talisman from her storage bag, and then desperately tore it open!
The broken talisman sent a burst of Spiritual Power toward the distant Crimson Snow Peak. Gu Huaiwei opened his eyes. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to suppress the chaotic Spiritual Power within his body. Before he could even regulate himself, Gu Huaiwei rushed toward the direction from which the power of the talisman had been unleashed.
Just as Sang Ying was about to completely break Su Fuyun's neck, a figure suddenly rushed in, shattering Sang Ying's Spiritual Power on the spot, and pulled Su Fuyun into his arms.
Looking up again, Sang Ying met Gu Huaiwei's disapproving eyes. "What are you doing? What did your senior sister do to offend you that you're treating her like this?"
She offended me.
Gu Huaiwei almost laughed in anger at this answer, "Just because she offended you, you want to take her life as compensation? When did you become so cruel and vicious?"
"A Nascent Soul Cultivator has repeatedly offended Spirit Transformation cultivator. I only wanted her life, not shatter her soul. That's already showing me mercy." Sang Ying had heard this kind of talk too many times, and her emotions remained completely unmoved.
It was only at this moment that Gu Huaiwei realized that the Spiritual Power fluctuations emanating from Sang Ying were clearly those of Spirit Transformation cultivator.
"Even so, you shouldn't treat her like this. She's protected you all these years and always comes to visit you. How could you..."
"Why can't I? It's not like I begged her to come." Sang Ying was already getting annoyed by their boring conversation and wanted to end this farce as soon as possible. Gu Huaiwei had the same thought as her.
Even though Sang Ying has ascended to immortality in another world, she is only at the Spirit Transformation stage now, which is still somewhat insufficient to defeat Gu Huaiwei.
Their Spiritual Power collided, Gu Huaiwei to stagger back a few steps, while Sang Ying was sent flying.
Seeing this, Su Fuyun, nestled in Gu Huaiwei's arms, smiled smugly. Then, feigning weakness, she leaned even closer to Gu Huaiwei.
But her smugness vanished quickly, because Sang Ying was caught by a young man in Hongyi the moment she flew away.
The opponent unleashed an aura that was actually on par with Gu Huaiwei's.
"My dear disciple, I was wondering why you hadn't returned. It turns out you'd run into some clueless people causing you trouble!"
