The snowstorm lasted for a while and then stopped.

Yan Ju looked over and saw that the sect leader was lying in a wheelchair, without any intimidating aura left.

He looked sickly, and an aura of gray and death emanated from him.

It looks like he won't live long.

Standing next to him was a man, it was Elder Han who disappeared in the middle of the morning class.

Elder Han still had that look of disappointment on his face, but this time the target of his lecture was the leader of the Cangxue Sect.

"Your attack this time was particularly severe. How come you got up before you had enough time to soak in the water?"

The headmaster coughed twice and said calmly, "It's okay."

Elder Han obviously wanted to continue preaching, but the head of the sect ignored him and turned his head away.

"Is this the new five-spiritual-root disciple you mentioned?"

Elder Han nodded with a rather resentful look in his eyes, "Yes, it's her."

While the headmaster was asking questions, Wen Shuishui removed the golden shield and walked forward with Yan Ju.

"Master, this is the new junior sister of the sect, her name is Yan Ju."

Yan Ju responded obediently: "Hello, Master."

The headmaster stared at her expressionlessly for a moment, then suddenly spoke coldly:

"Why are you so weak?"

???

Yan Ju was a little confused.

She was just a newly-entered Qi Refining disciple, so of course she was weak.

Even Luo Qianxue, a genius that appears once in a million years, is now just a weakling in the Qi Refining Stage like her.

Is the master so strict with his disciples?

Yan Ju didn't feel ashamed at all, she followed suit and said:

"That's right Master, you are absolutely right. I am too weak now."

The head of the sect was not at all happy about her approval, and coldly gave a conclusion:

"You are far inferior to her."

she?

Upon hearing this, Yan Ju's hair stood up subconsciously.

In her memory, her original body had been compared with Luo Qianxue since she was a child, and even after she entered the sect, she was still compared with Luo Qianxue.

However, the original body was inferior to Luo Qianxue in every aspect, both in terms of talent and in dealing with people.

She and Luo Qianxue were good friends in name only, but in fact, Luo Qianxue always acted superior to her, even to the point where the original person herself felt ashamed of herself.

So when the master said this, she immediately thought of Luo Qianxue.

Master even knows this? Could it be that Master also has a crush on Luo Qianxue, a genius, and wants to take her in as his disciple?

She pondered her master's thoughts and considered the words.

"Master, Luo Qianxue has already joined the Tianqi Sect and is now the direct disciple of the Sect Master. She may not come to our sect very often."

After all, the Cangxue Sect is too remote and not very well-known.

The headmaster frowned, "Who is that?"

Yan Ju secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the haze in her heart had dissipated a little. It turned out that her master was not talking about Luo Qianxue.

Then, who is she?

The head of the sect didn't seem to care who Luo Qianxue was. He asked coldly without waiting for her to answer:

"Do you know what the five spiritual roots mean?"

Yan Ju can solve this problem.

"Five spiritual roots mean it's hard to build a foundation and practice."

"That's right," the headmaster nodded, "This is only the first difficulty that a cultivator with five spiritual roots needs to face. As you cultivate further, the difficulties you will face will multiply. This is why there have been no cultivators with five spiritual roots in the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years."

The headmaster paused for a moment and came to a shocking conclusion:

"Those who practice the five spiritual roots are not tolerated by the way of heaven."

Yan Ju was shocked for a moment by the words of the Sect Leader, but only for a moment.

She was shocked not because the headmaster said that the five spiritual roots were not tolerated by the way of heaven, but because such a thing actually happened to her.

According to her experience of reading novels, such things as being born with a broken spiritual vein and having one's golden elixir shattered and not being tolerated by the laws of nature, don't they usually happen to the protagonist?

In the original book, she was just a cannon fodder female supporting role, yet she received such treatment?

She was a little flattered.

Elder Han seemed to think that the headmaster's words were too harsh, and tried to smooth things over:

"Brother, Xiaoyan is still young...don't scare her."

The headmaster closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his tone slowed down a bit, but the pressure was still strong.

"You haven't established your foundation yet. If you want to give up cultivation now, it's not too late. My Cang Xue Sect will send you down the mountain and protect you for the rest of your life."

Yan Ju didn't expect that the first time she met her master, her master would actually drive her down the mountain.

If the master had said this a day ago, Yan Ju might have agreed immediately and packed up her things quickly and went down the mountain without any reluctance.

To have no worries about food and clothing, to lie down and wait for death, isn't this what she has always wished for?

However, she looked at her second senior brother who had been standing in front of her, worried that she would be hurt, and remembered the two young faces in the firelight.

If she left, would the fourth and fifth senior brothers eventually fall into the evil path?

Will the Cangxue Sect cease to exist in a few years?

Will those senior brothers who I have never met also become the souls killed by Luo Qianxue's sword?

The key is.

Second senior brother, he actually wants to give all his wealth to Luo Qianxue.

This is simply intolerable, but my uncle cannot tolerate it. My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt cannot.

Suddenly, she didn't want to leave anymore.

Let's be frank, she is a bit rebellious.

No matter how unforgivable it is, or how difficult it is to practice, the more she is asked to give up, the more she refuses to do so.

It has never been her character to give up without trying hard.

So, she reached out her hand, pulled Wen Shuishui's sleeve, pursed her lips, and asked aggrievedly:

"Second Brother, Master, does he not like me? Otherwise, why would he chase me down the mountain?"

Wen Shuishui doesn't understand either.

Logically speaking, even if the junior sister has a hard time practicing and cannot make a breakthrough in her lifetime, it would be fine to keep her in the mountains and let her be an idle person for the rest of her life.

He himself was unable to make any progress because his golden elixir was damaged, and could only remain at the half-step golden elixir level for the rest of his life.

The master didn't say anything about sending him down the mountain. He just handed over all the sect's internal affairs and external communication to him, and he himself was at ease as a hands-off manager.

Although the Master doesn't seem to be very friendly to people, he is actually not a cold-hearted person.

Why are you so strict towards your junior sister?

Ah...he understood.

It must be because there are no women on the mountain and the master doesn’t know how to deal with women, so he is shy.

He thought he had grasped his master's idea, so he touched Yan Ju's head and said softly:

"Little Junior Sister, Master doesn't dislike you, he's just worried that you'll suffer in the mountains."

Yan Ju burst into tears with a "wow" sound, sobbing:

"Second Brother, I don't want to go down the mountain. It's cold and there are so many wild beasts down there. It's too scary. How can a little girl like me, who has no parents, survive? Second Brother, can't I just stay in Cangxue Sect? I still want to play with Second Brother, Fourth Brother, and Fifth Brother."

She gave full play to her acting skills and cried so hard that the world fell apart.

Wen Shuishui had never seen a little girl cry before, and was a little at a loss for a moment, looking at Elder Han for help.

Elder Han had never seen such a scene before. Should he be soft-hearted or ask the headmaster for mercy?

"Brother, how about... just let her stay. I will take good care of her. Anyway, it is highly unlikely that she will be able to establish a foundation with five spiritual roots..."

The head of the sect wanted to say something else, but his body suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, and a layer of black air visibly appeared on his face. Blood kept oozing out from the corners of his mouth, dyeing his originally pale lips red.

"Brother!"

Elder Han quickly dodged behind the sect leader, stretched out his palm and pressed it on the back of the sect leader, inputting his spiritual power.

The black energy on the leader's face no longer spread upwards, but the situation was obviously still very bad.

The sudden change interrupted what the leader was about to say.

Yan Ju immediately seized the opportunity and grabbed Wen Shuishui and left.

If not now, when?

Wen Shuishui was still a little hesitant: "Is Master okay?"

Elder Han waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You can go back first. I have to heal the wounds of the Sect Leader."

Wen Shuishui asked worriedly: "What about the little junior sister..."

Elder Han looked at the unconscious sect leader and sighed.

"Take her back first."
