Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone
Chapter 225 - 223: Is This Something an Honest Man Would Do?
Su Xihe emerged from the main hall, intending to return to her own cave mansion, but after some thought, she decided to visit her sister.
Currently, she was quite eager to recover the dark injury within her body.
If she remained in this state, she wouldn’t be able to handle the potential events that might unfold, and at that point, the Cyan Mountain Sect could face an existential crisis.
She decided to have a good talk with her sister.
At this time, Qin Yu should still be cultivating, so going there wouldn’t lead to any awkward situations.
Entering the Saintess Cave Mansion, it was very quiet inside.
Su Xihe walked straight towards her sister’s residence, and on the way, she subconsciously paused in front of Leng Ruyu’s room.
This Demon Sect Sect Leader has been in the Cyan Mountain Sect for a year now!
Although Leng Ruyu’s presence here strengthened the relationship between the two Immortal Sects, at the same time, it was also diverting Su Xiyue’s opportunities.
The Sect Leader had never understood why her sister had allowed Leng Ruyu to stay.
Wouldn’t it be better to share such benefits with her biological sister?!
She knocked on the door.
There was no sound from inside.
Su Xihe’s brows furrowed slightly.
Could something unexpected have happened?!
Given the commotion, it was impossible for the inside not to be aware.
If this Demon Sect Sect Leader had caused trouble in the Cyan Mountain Sect, it would probably immediately sour the relations between the two Immortal Sects.
At this moment, the Cyan Mountain Sect clearly couldn’t withstand such a change!
With this in mind, Su Xihe directly pushed open the door.
The first thing that hit her was a peculiar scent, strange enough that she couldn’t help but hold her breath.
Then, the Sect Leader’s pupils contracted slightly.
In the room, clothing fragments lay scattered all over the floor, with traces of graffiti, and the bedding on the bed was in disarray. The Demon Sect Sect Leader lay there without any image, with various marks still on her body.
At a glance, Su Xihe immediately averted her gaze.
Was this still a room?!
Why did it seem more like a... battlefield?
What exactly did Leng Ruyu go through, for her body to bear so many strange... markings?
Moreover, she was so exhausted that she couldn’t even notice someone entering.
This showed just how poor her current condition was!
Undoubtedly, Qin Yu was responsible for all of this!
How dare he treat the Demon Sect Sect Leader like this?!
The Sect Leader and her master were both shocked.
She actually had a rather good, positive impression of Qin Yu.
After all, although Qin Yu’s eyes were occasionally dishonest, he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he respected her as his master extremely, always listening to her and never contradicting her in the slightest.
And yet, that same ’honest person’ did such a thing?!
The most incomprehensible part for the Sect Leader was why Leng Ruyu, who was treated like this, had never mentioned it, not even to the Demon Sect.
Was she willing?!
Or was it because of some other reason, that she was forced... to accept it.
Originally planning to leave, Su Xihe’s middle-tier Spiritual Power detected something unusual.
"Hmm?!"
At first, the Sect Leader thought it was her illusion, hesitated for a moment, and then seriously sensed it.
Perhaps in a state of deep sleep, Leng Ruyu was completely defenseless, with all her aura exposed.
"This is... a Dao Bone?!"
The Sect Leader’s eyes suddenly widened in shock and astonishment.
No mistake about it.
Almost identical to the fluctuations from her sister back then.
The thing she feared most had come to pass; this Demoness from the Demon Sect had clung here and ended up acquiring a Dao Bone!
After her initial shock, the Sect Leader was deeply confused.
Although the Cyan Mountain Sect and the Demon Sect were on good terms, that didn’t mean such an opportunity should be given to Leng Ruyu, right?!
By contrast, every time she asked, Su Xiyue was unwilling to reveal even a single word.
The Sect Leader felt hurt.
She left Leng Ruyu’s room with mixed emotions.
Soon, she arrived at Su Xiyue’s residence.
Su Xiyue had not yet risen and looked weary, but upon the door being opened and her entering, she was awakened.
"Sect Leader."
She might as well not have spoken; that one address made the Sect Leader sigh heavily.
Her sister had grown up.
Their bond had also faded.
Now she called outsiders her sisters, but referred to her real sister as Sect Leader.
Resentment hung on the Sect Leader’s face.
"Since you’re tired, just lie down and rest."
Su Xihe sat on the bed, stopping her from getting up, but a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Her sister and Leng Ruyu’s states made her feel puzzled.
Was her disciple really that capable?!
Moreover, it wasn’t just the two of them; there were still four more in another room.
Hiss!
The Sect Leader’s face showed no unusual expressions, but her heart was anything but calm.
"Sect Leader..."
"Call me sister!"
The Sect Leader directly interrupted her.
"Sister."
"I need to ask you, does Leng Ruyu also have a Dao Bone now?" Unable to contain herself any longer, Su Xihe asked.
"Yes."
Su Xiyue didn’t attempt to hide it, knowing there was no way she could, so she admitted it directly.
"You..."
Su Xihe wanted to say something but hesitated, frowning as if weighing something, finally just sighing softly, "She is, after all, from the Demon Sect. How could you so easily and unreservedly share such an opportunity with her?"
Her words carried both reproach and an indescribable complexity of emotions.
Su Xiyue remained silent.
Of course, she caught the underlying meaning in her sister’s words.
She could share with outsiders but not her own sister?!
Of course she could.
She just feared her sister wouldn’t be willing.
While Su Xiyue was considering how to phrase it, the Sect Leader began talking about the current situation in the Yunlan Domain.
About the Cyan Mountain Sect’s crisis.
About the dark injury within her own body.
And more.
The intention was evidently clear.
Su Xiyue looked up at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Being looked at in that way made the Sect Leader feel a bit strange.
This wasn’t the first time.
Every time it got to this point, in light and shadow, her sister always looked at her like that.
"Sister, do you want to heal your injury?"
Su Xiyue spoke.
Perhaps due to her interactions with Lin Qianqian and her sisters, as well as Yin Qinghe and Zhao Mengli, her mindset had gradually shifted.
Just like Lin Qianqian, who repeatedly, albeit unknown how many times, went to Qin Yu for the sake of enhancing her sister’s Root Bone.
The relationship between Yin Qinghe and Zhao Mengli was even more complex.
Could Su Xihe, as her closest one, truly remain indifferent to her sister’s condition?!
"This..."
The Sect Leader hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed, suspecting she might seem like she was coveting her sister’s opportunity, but still said, "Can such an injury really be healed?!"
