Chapter 307 Strange Movements of the Howling Sky Sect
"Senior Brother Shen, I am powerless to sort out the past grievances."
After saying this, Shen Xun suddenly remembered what Zhu Wuyao had said—
"That's just how things are, and I have no intention of arguing about right or wrong."
It seems she had already realized that there was no basis for trust between the two, and no possibility of turning enemies into friends.
The ultimate result will inevitably be that whoever has the ability will be in charge, and whoever is less capable will be subject to others.
In this situation, everyone wants to take control.
Shen Anzhi silently placed a wooden box on the table, inside which was a healing pill.
Shen Xun looked at the pill, smiled, and said:
You can't stand seeing anyone get hurt.
"Instead of letting me recover from my injuries and then go to fight her, it's better to let me get seriously injured and then go and injure her. At least that will save you some spirit stones and give you peace of mind for a while."
Shen Anzhi asked, "Was it because I didn't teach you well?"
Shen Xun shook his head and said:
"Perhaps it's just my nature that's hard to change."
After that, the small courtyard was left only with silence.

Zhu Wuyao was stopped by someone while walking halfway.
She thought they were just there to say hello.
Since that day, her popularity has soared. When she goes out for a stroll, she is no longer met with cold stares from people like before.
People suddenly became warm and friendly.
The newcomer stood before her, and said with considerable excitement:
"Senior Sister Zhu, I...I have long admired you...!"
?
Zhu Wuyao looked down at the envelope that had been stuffed into her hand, and her eyes lit up. Someone had come to give her a gift?
Silver notes or talismans?
The more the better!
When it was opened, it turned out to be just a love letter.
"...Will there ever be a day when we stroll together along a path strewn with fallen leaves in the height of autumn...?"
Zhu Wuyao closed the letter expressionlessly and threw it into his storage bag.
It's possible.
If you ever offend me, I will strike you with my sword, and that path will not only be covered with fallen leaves, but also with your corpse.
I guarantee that with this strike, your death will be exceptionally tragic.
not far away.
"She accepted it, she accepted it!"
"I told you long ago, although Miss Zhu is a bit arrogant and seems somewhat haughty, she would never trample on other people's feelings for no reason!"
"Then my letter..."
"What are you thinking! How could she possibly be interested in you? You're plain-looking and uneducated. If she were to fight with a sword, you could only stand by and cheer, not even be able to compose a few poems for her!"
"What do you know? My flute playing is unparalleled. If she draws her sword, I will match it with my flute playing, and you will all be envious!"
"Looking down on everyone on the battle stage, one sword strike can break all the games, what a heroic spirit that is."
"What a joy it would be to be by her side and travel the world together!"
"If we could walk together in this life, I would have no regrets even in death..."
"She's coming!"
"Miss Zhu! Miss Zhu! Please accept my letter!"
……
Zhu Wuyao, slightly bewildered, held the dozen or so letters. He glanced at his excited fellow disciples, quickly recovered, tossed the letters into his storage bag, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:
"Gentlemen, I am now single-mindedly pursuing the Dao. As fellow disciples, we should progress together. If I ever have any thoughts on this matter, I will let you know."
"I didn't publicize it, which means I didn't have that idea. Goodbye."
After expressing his stance to the junior sisters, junior brothers, senior sisters, and senior brothers in front of him, Zhu Wuyao was about to turn and leave.
As a result, they almost bumped into someone.
She instinctively replied, "I have no such thoughts, and the subsequent letters will not..."
Halfway through his sentence, Zhu Wuyao noticed that the junior sister in front of him wasn't carrying a letter, so he smiled at her and tried to walk past her.
"Senior Sister Zhu, do you still remember me?"
Zhu Wuyao turned around and indeed recognized him.
After a moment's thought, I remembered that this person had been on the dueling platform before, and was the first person to ask her to make the first move. The challenge letter seemed to be named Yi Tian.
She nodded, indicating that they should walk forward and talk.
"what happened?"
Zhu Wuyao did indeed remember her. According to Xu San'er, this person had previously admired her greatly, but after leaving the battle arena, his attitude changed drastically, and he often slandered her in front of others.
"Senior Sister Zhu, I want to follow you to the side!"
Hearing this reply, which carried a hint of "loyalty," Zhu Wuyao smiled and shook his head, saying:
“You have slandered me, I will not trust you, and I only make friends with people, I have no intention of gaining followers.”
Her views were ultimately different from those of the cultivation world; she believed it was inappropriate to have someone risk their life for her.
We each live our own lives, and that's fine.
Hearing this blunt rejection, Yi Tian still wouldn't give up, and said:
"Senior Sister, one day when you advance to the Golden Core Realm, even if you can't immediately become an elder, you can always become a disciple in charge of affairs. You need your own people."
No, I don't need it.
Zhu Wuyao stopped and stood in front of Yi Tian, and said seriously:
"I don't trust you, nor do I trust myself. You won't be a help to me; you'll only be a burden. There are some paths I'll be more comfortable walking alone."
After saying that, he turned and walked forward.

"Sect Leader! There seems to be some unusual activity from the Xiaotian Sect in the northwest!"
"Junior Sister He Yiqi, who is stationed in Beifeng City near Xiaotian Sect, was the first to discover the anomaly!"
The village that was found to be unusual belonged to the Xiaotian Sect, rather than directly to the Zhaixing Tower.
The four major sects, though renowned for their prestige in all four directions.
However, local factions and family powers are more like vassal states.
The extent to which the Star-Picking Tower can intervene varies among different sects, not only due to differences in closeness and distance, but also due to their own considerations and calculations.
But the Xiaotian Sect... had long harbored ulterior motives.
The number of disciples of the Star-Picking Tower is not large. In peaceful areas, the local urban management offices even select ordinary people to serve as urban management officers.
As for Beifeng City, which is close to Xiaotian Sect, Zhaixing Tower was naturally cautious.
For example, Li Chengguan of Jiguanshan was only at the second level of Qi Refining, but He Yiqi, who was sent to Beifeng City, was at the early stage of Golden Core.
"Good!" Sect Leader Fang continued.
"Do you really think that Zhaixinglou is blind and deaf and can't see that it has long been colluding with the Juque Sect?"
"It's laughable that the Xiaotian Sect thinks it can rely on the Juque Sect and acts arrogantly and ignorantly. Little do they know that it is just bait that has been pushed out. Once my Zhaixing Tower can no longer bear it and takes action to destroy it, the Juque Sect can use this as an excuse."
Sect Leader Fang had been patient with it for a long time.
He even considered pretending to practice heretical cultivation methods and uprooting them.
However, the Juque Sect has always been keeping an eye on the Xiaotian Sect. If the Zhaixing Tower were to destroy a sect without a legitimate reason and be caught red-handed, it would inevitably make the sects in the north feel insecure. At that time, the Zhaixing Tower's control over the north would be in jeopardy.
As the leader of the sect, one must always consider many factors when making decisions and cannot act arbitrarily.
