Chapter 93 -91: Unmasking Nan Sheng’s True Face

Medical Cultivator Li, seeing there was no escape, subconsciously looked towards Nan Sheng.

Nan Sheng was his goddess, he had been bewitched by her at the time, and when she asked for his help, he had agreed without a second thought. He had never imagined that one day he would be brought out for a public trial.

With tear-filled eyes, Nan Sheng gazed at Medical Cultivator Li, who found it hard to bear, but how could he hide this matter?

Dongfang Wuya also noticed the silent exchange of glances between Nan Sheng and Medical Cultivator Li, and he said indifferently, “Medical Cultivator Li, speak the truth, and I shall spare you from death! The ‘Heterodox Cultivation Manual’ is my property, and in this matter, I am also the victim. Let me tell you something, the last cultivator who tried to steal my Spiritual Treasure has turned to dust and smoke.”

Unable to withstand his overwhelming intimidation, Medical Cultivator Li involuntarily knelt to the ground.

His cold sweat poured down; if he had been hesitating before, how could he dare to conceal anything now? He confessed the whole plan that Nan Sheng had plotted with him.

“I was also bewitched, falling for Shengsheng’s seduction to do wrong. Please, Mr. Wuya, show mercy and do not kill me!” Medical Cultivator Li could no longer consider Nan Sheng’s feelings and shifted all the blame onto her.

Of course, that was the truth. If it wasn’t for Nan Sheng using her charms on him, how could he have conspired with her in such disgraceful conduct?

This revelation at such a critical juncture made it difficult for Sword Master Tian Yan to clear Nan Sheng’s name and convince the crowd.

Everyone had almost believed that Nan Sheng was possessed by an evil entity and had lost her senses when she hurt Shen Qing, especially since no motive for Nan Sheng to poison Qinghe was found.

Now, with the old grudge about stealing the Secret Manual emerging, everyone realized that Nan Sheng harbored such deep animosity towards Qinghe from so long ago. Thus, Nan Sheng poisoning Shen Qinghe seemed entirely plausible.

The crowd buzzed with discussion, pointing fingers and casting blame at Nan Sheng.

Since joining the Sky Pole Sect, Nan Sheng had been everyone’s cherished moonlight, their goddess, and the dream lover of many male cultivators.

Yet such a talented young lady had such a vicious heart, not only taking Qinghe’s fiancé but also her Secret Manual, and even worse, attempting to take her life.

If it were not for searching Nan Sheng’s soul today, who knows when Qinghe’s grievances would have come to light for all to see.

Shen Zhiyao had been holding back, but now she felt no need for restraint. She rushed to Nan Sheng and slapped her face several times, “Bitch! What did Qinghe ever do to you for you to want to kill her?!”

Nan Sheng, having just undergone a Soul Search, was in a state of weakness and of course couldn’t dodge Shen Zhiyao’s slaps.

Sword Master Tian Yan also felt humiliated.

He had thought Nan Sheng had no reason to harm Shen Qinghe, but the truth proved that Nan Sheng was indeed malicious, intent on killing Shen Qinghe.

Now that Nan Sheng’s perfect image was shattered, he, as her Master, also lost face.

Shen Zhiyao’s slaps were not just on Nan Sheng’s face but also on his own aged face.

“Zhiyao, Shengsheng will be punished for her wrongdoings, but you should not take justice into your own hands,” Master Tian Yan knew Nan Sheng could not escape punishment, and he recognized that the tide had turned, but he could not allow Shen Zhiyao to trample on Nan Sheng like this.

Shen Qinghe let Shen Zhiyao vent before pulling her aside, “Elder sister, that’s enough.”

“This venomous woman deserves a thousand cuts!” Shen Zhiyao became furious at the thought of her sister nearly dying in The Abyss, wanting to stab Nan Sheng on the spot.

Shen Qinghe gently squeezed Shen Zhiyao’s palm, causing her to quickly calm down, recalling that no matter how bad Nan Sheng might be, she was the female lead, graced with the halo of a protagonist.

With the truth now exposed, Dongfang Wuya lightly curved his thin lips, “Sect Master, how do you plan to deal with Nan Sheng? Right, what is the prescribed punishment for seriously injuring a fellow disciple? Isn’t it expulsion from the sect?!”

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked, including Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe’s first reaction was to wonder if the rest of the male leads would follow Nan Sheng if she left the Sky Pole Sect?

If the protagonists left, she could only scrounge for spiritual energy from a few minor characters. From past experience, the spiritual energy of her character, the evil supporting sister, was simply not enough for her to draw from.

It wasn’t just her who thought of this hurdle—Shen Zhiyao also considered Shen Qinghe’s plight.

Just then, Sword Master Tian Yan stepped forward and said, “Shengsheng is my closed-door disciple, and I cannot allow her to leave the sect! Even if she has made mistakes, she should be given a chance to correct them. Moreover, Shengsheng and Xiao Chen are engaged to be married soon. How can she be expelled from the Sky Pole Sect at this time?!”

Several of the elders agreed with this sentiment.

Nan Sheng was a cultivation genius, and if she were expelled from the Sky Pole Sect, she would definitely join another sect. If in the future Nan Sheng’s cultivation base reached its full potential and she wanted to retaliate against the Sky Pole Sect, wouldn’t that be shooting ourselves in the foot?

Elder Wang was the first to echo, “Sword Master Tian Yan is correct, Shengsheng may have made a mistake, but it was not a grave one. The secret manual has been returned to Qinghe, and now that Qinghe is safe and sound here, no great harm has been done. To know one’s mistakes and change one’s actions is a virtue above all others; we should give Shengsheng a chance to redeem herself. What does Sect Master think?”

Sect Master Zuo also felt it was a pity to expel a cultivation talent like Nan Sheng from the sect, but Dongfang Wuya had always been domineering, and if Dongfang Wuya did not agree, there was nothing he could do about it.

He looked toward Shen Qinghe, and suddenly had an idea, asking with a glimmer of hope, “Qinghe is the victim here, why don’t we listen to what Qinghe has to say?”

Nan Sheng looked towards Shen Qinghe, her expression blank.

She had never imagined that one day her fate would depend on a single word from Shen Qinghe. Unless something unexpected occurred, Shen Qinghe would surely wish for her to be expelled from the Sky Pole Sect, wouldn’t she?

Seeing everyone looking at her, Shen Qinghe feigned magnanimity and said, “I don’t think it’s necessary to expel Nan Sheng from the Sky Pole Sect. But the fact that Nan Sheng harmed a fellow disciple cannot be overlooked; she must be severely punished!”

Sect Master Zuo heaved a sigh of relief, “Yes, what Qinghe said makes sense. You are the victim, what kind of punishment do you think would be appropriate for Shengsheng to make amends?”

While speaking, he cautiously glanced at Dongfang Wuya.

“A punishment of fifty lashes with the Thunder Whip, what does Sect Master think?” This was the best punishment Shen Qinghe could think of.

Nan Sheng couldn’t die, nor could she leave the Sky Pole Sect, nor be locked away for ten or eight years; otherwise, the male leads might disappear along with Nan Sheng, and her own cultivation might stagnate for ten or eight years…

At that moment, she suddenly remembered something. Since she had taken the Snow Bone Grass, there hadn’t been any sign of a breakthrough.

Wasn’t it said that Snow Bone Grass was a rare Immortal Herb, and its most basic function was Vein Cleansing and Marrow Washing? Why hadn’t she experienced any sign of a breakthrough since taking the Snow Bone Grass?

Could Dongfang Wuya have given her a fake Snow Bone Grass?

She quickly dismissed this possibility because as soon as she took the Snow Bone Grass, she had broken through the Illusory Realm of Snow Bone City, so the Snow Bone Grass she took couldn’t possibly be fake.

If she saw no breakthrough even after taking the Snow Bone Grass, did she still have any hope of advancing in her cultivation in this lifetime?

The thought of this possibility chilled her heart.

.Aoow, the breakthrough for the lady goose is imminent.
