Chapter 1051: Chapter 1013: You Guys Aren't Partners, Are You? (Please Subscribe)_1
The female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect became panic-stricken upon hearing these words, completely unable to comprehend why Zhou Qingruo would decide to leave the Blood Lotus Sect because of this!
One of the female Elders hastily spoke up, "Sect Master, what are you talking about? The only one who can be the Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect is you!"
They wanted Zhou Qingruo to spare Qin Yumo, it's true, but they never believed that the latter could replace the former as the Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect!
Another female Elder, considering Zhou Qingruo's temperament, voiced her worries, "Sect Master, please don't do this! The Blood Lotus Sect is your creation, how could you just abandon it so easily?"
"In the entire Blood Lotus Sect, only you can firmly hold the position of Sect Master, please take back what you said before!"
But the one who was most shocked was none other than Qin Yumo on the other side. She widened her eyes in disbelief…
The master was actually going to give up her position as Sect Master and leave the Blood Lotus Sect??
Didn't that mean she had chosen to sever ties with the Blood Lotus Sect in order not to violate her own principles and also not to bring herself to kill the female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect?
In a moment, the demonic allure in those beautiful eyes dissipated a bit, and she softly said, "Master..."
Zhou Qingruo, upon hearing this, merely swept her a cold glance, "Don't call me Master. I don't have a treacherous disciple like you!"
Then, after giving her once-taught female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect a deep look, she turned to Xu Sheng and said, "Xu Sheng, let's go!"
To tell the truth, cutting ties with the Blood Lotus Sect was proving to be much more painful than she had imagined!
But there was no choice. If she lost her principles, what meaning would there be left in living?
Xu Sheng didn't say much either, simply nodding slightly in agreement, "Hmm!"
With that, both of them turned around and began walking away from the Blood Lotus Sect…
Seeing them leave without paying her any heed, Duanmu Lian hurried after them while exclaiming, "Wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"
All at once, she seemed to think of something and gasped in shock, "Qingruo is so intimate with a man, could it be..."
Hiss, this was definitely not right!
All that was left were the female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect with faces full of confusion and the stunned Qin Yumo…
It took a few seconds for the female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect to come back to their senses, muttering in a daze, "The Sect Master... she's really cut ties with the Blood Lotus Sect..."
"It's over... The Blood Lotus Sect is done for, without the Sect Master, sooner or later..."
"The Sect Master must have made this decision because of us, otherwise if it wasn't for pleading on behalf of Yu Mo, she wouldn't have..."
At this moment, all the hatred that Qin Yumo had for Zhou Qingruo had vanished, and as if she had made a tremendous choice, she took a deep breath and spoke up, "In that case, I will be the true Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect from now on!"
"Elders, I ask that you assist me in managing the Blood Lotus Sect together from now on!"
She believed that her Master would surely come back!
And even if she never returned, she would definitely continue her will and develop the Blood Lotus Sect properly!!
…
Elsewhere, the trio of Zhou Qingruo having left the Blood Lotus Sect!
Duanmu Lian asked with curious intonation, "Tell me, Qingruo, do you really have the heart to abandon the Blood Lotus Sect, which you started with your own hands? Aren't you feeling like crying inside?"
Zhou Qingruo, already quite vexed because of leaving the Blood Lotus Sect, responded coldly after hearing this, "Shut up! Can you speak less? Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Lian covered her thin lips and chuckled lightly, "Merciless? Qingruo, don't forget that when it comes to strength, I still have the upper hand!"
She had once dueled with Zhou Qingruo, and eventually, her injuries were deemed lighter, determining her victory!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo moved her thin lips, but did not speak again...
This appearance was as if she had tacitly agreed...
Xu Sheng, who had been listening to their conversation, was surprised to think, "Is Duanmu Lian's strength actually stronger than Zhou Qingruo's? I really couldn't tell."
But when he thought about the events at the Blood Lotus Sect and the final outcome,
he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, "It's such a melodramatic end!"
So, the demon cultivator they went to great lengths to eliminate and the near-execution of Qin Yumo were completely meaningless!
Duanmu Lian's beautiful eyes lit up, filled with urgency as she said, "Right, Qingruo, you and this man... uh, what's your name again?"
Hearing this impolite question, Xu Sheng was not annoyed but laughed lightly, "My name is Xu Sheng."
Duanmu Lian propped up her chin, pondering, "Xu Sheng? Hmm, I've got it!"
Then, her eyes sparkling, she looked towards Zhou Qingruo, "Qingruo, what exactly is your relationship with Xu Sheng? Earlier, you two seemed quite intimate!"
Zhou Qingruo gave her a cool glance, "Why are you asking these questions? It's none of your business, is it?"
As if she had discovered a secret, Duanmu Lian leaned in closer and teased, "Are you blushing? Don't tell me you two are partners??"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo's first impulse was to refute...
But suddenly, the memory of what she and Xu Sheng had done in the cave came flooding back, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed a deep red...
After everything that had happened, being called partners didn't seem so far off...
Before she could answer, Xu Sheng preempted with a smile, "Of course we're not, Miss Duanmu is overthinking it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo's amber-colored beautiful eyes dimmed slightly...
Duanmu Lian exclaimed in amazement, "You're actually calling me Miss Duanmu? I've lived almost tens of thousands of years!"
Having lived for so long, surely, Xu Sheng calling her the grandma of her grandma's grandma would be more than enough!
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng was somewhat at a loss, pondering inwardly, "Tens of thousands of years? If you add the years I haven't spent in this realm, who knows, it might be over a hundred thousand years..."
Seeing Xu Sheng's flustered "embarrassment," Duanmu Lian sighed, "Alright, no more teasing from me! But it's a pity you two aren't partners since you're the only man who can get close to Qingruo!"
Xu Sheng smiled and looked toward Zhou Qingruo, "Is that so?"
The latter also happened to notice his gaze, and their eyes met...
For some reason, Zhou Qingruo felt as if she was completely exposed in front of Xu Sheng, a burning sensation suddenly rising from the depths of her heart...
Unable to withstand this feeling, Zhou Qingruo decisively turned her head away...
And as she turned, she bit her thin lips, "It's the second time! It's the second time I've tried to avoid Xu Sheng's direct gaze!"
Completely baffled, she wondered, what on earth was going on? Could it be that...
I really feel towards Xu Sheng...
