Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

Chapter 388 The Vicious Female Supporting Character in the Cultivation World (23)

Shen Chumo looked at the square-faced disciple's indignant expression, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, and a disdainful smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"Heh, whether I need their approval or not is none of your business. You keep saying how much you care about Shen Li, but do you dare to lay a hand on me?"

The group's faces stiffened. They were not far from Lingtian Sect, and who knew if Shen Feng had given Shen Chumo anything to protect her life? Caution was paramount, so they naturally dared not make a move.

A hint of annoyance flashed in Shen Li's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said in a pitiful tone, "Senior sister, I know you have misunderstood me, but I really haven't done anything to wrong you."

If you're unhappy, take it out on me; don't argue with your senior brothers.

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, another disciple stepped forward. This person had a cold expression. "Shen Chumo, no matter what, as the senior sister of Junior Sister Shen Li, you shouldn't be so aggressive. Junior Sister Shen Li has always been kind and gentle, as everyone has seen. Your way of making things difficult for her is really unbecoming of a senior sister."

Shen Chumo sneered, "Ridiculous. I'm her senior sister, not her mother. Why should I tolerate her every time? I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if they do, I will definitely retaliate."

"Shen Li, you're lucky today, with so many dogs speaking up for you. Next time you run into me, you won't have such a good time."

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and made as if to leave.

"Junior Sister, wait!" A clear voice suddenly rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

A tall, handsome young disciple strode quickly from behind the crowd; this was Lin Yu.

The square-faced disciple quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior Brother Lin Yu, Senior Sister Shen Chumo not only injured Junior Sister Shen Li, but also talked back to us. Senior Brother Lin Yu, you must stand up for Junior Sister Shen Li."

Lin Yu frowned. He had received news that Shen Chumo was leaving the sect today, so he came to see his sixth junior sister off, but he didn't expect to run into this kind of thing again.

His gaze swept back and forth between Shen Chumo and Shen Li, trying to discern the truth from their expressions.

"Senior brother, don't worry about senior sister. You know I'm the one who wronged her, so it's only natural that she's angry with me."

Shen Li spoke softly, her voice tinged with a perfectly timed sob, her eyes reddening, looking both wronged and trying to appear magnanimous. She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering as if tears were about to fall at any moment, like a small white flower swaying precariously in the wind and rain, evoking pity in those who saw her.

Lin Yu's heart softened, and his gaze towards Shen Chumo unconsciously carried a hint of reproach.

"Shen Chumo, since Junior Sister Shen Li has said so, as the senior sister, even if you are angry, you shouldn't have hurt her and spoken so harshly. Have you forgotten all about the bond between fellow disciples?"

His voice was deep and steady, but at this moment it contained a hint of disappointment.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Shen Chumo's face first showed a hint of disbelief, which then turned into deep disdain.

She threw her head back and laughed loudly, the sound echoing across the open space, filled with endless sorrow and mockery.

"Lin Yu, you've really opened my eyes. Just based on a few fake tears and a few distorted words, you've concluded that I'm wrong?"

You keep saying I don't care about the friendship between fellow disciples, but the junior sister you call a good liar is a habitual liar. If I hadn't kept the evidence that day, everyone would probably still think that I stole her things. I was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Who was it that wanted to kill me and left me alone in the house?

Why didn't you tell her back then that you should consider the bonds between fellow disciples?

"Senior brother, are you even worthy of being my senior brother?"

Shen Chumo's eyes were sharp as knives, piercing straight into Lin Yu, as if trying to see through him.

After saying that, Shen Chumo didn't look at Lin Yu again and turned to leave.

Her steps were quick and firm, and the swirling sleeves seemed to tell of her inner anger and resentment.

As Lin Yu watched Shen Chumo's resolute departing figure, a sense of loss inexplicably welled up in his heart.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but his throat felt like it was choked by something, and he couldn't utter a single word. He subconsciously took a step forward, as if wanting to catch up, but his legs felt as heavy as lead.

At this moment, Shen Li secretly raised her eyes, glanced at Lin Yu, and then looked in the direction Shen Chumo had left, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.

But soon, she regained her pitiful appearance and said softly, "Senior Brother Lin Yu, Senior Sister... she must have her reasons. Don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu slowly came back to his senses and looked at Shen Li, but the pity he had felt before was gone.

He suddenly felt that the frail junior sister in front of him seemed somewhat unfamiliar. Shen Chumo's desperate yet disdainful gaze kept replaying in his mind, making him begin to doubt whether he had truly wronged her.

"Junior Sister, was it really Sixth Junior Sister who injured you? Sixth Junior Sister has no spiritual root and no cultivation, how could she possibly injure someone with Foundation Establishment cultivation like you?"

Lin Yu's voice was low and tinged with regret.

Upon hearing this, Shen Li's heart tightened, but she maintained her innocent expression.

"Senior Brother Lin Yu, Senior Sister... although she has lost her cultivation, perhaps Master gave her some kind of treasure."

Shen Li lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembling, as if she were thinking. "I was also stunned at the time. My senior sister suddenly rushed over with something that was flashing. I didn't even have time to react before I was hit."

She raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice. "Senior brother, I know that senior sister is the sect leader's daughter and has a noble status, but I dare not lie."

Lin Yu looked at Shen Li, his suspicions growing stronger. He carefully examined Shen Li's expression, trying to find a flaw, but Shen Li's pitiful appearance made it difficult for him to suspect anything.

But Lin Yu recalled Shen Chumo's usual character; she was straightforward and, although occasionally impulsive, had never harbored any intention to harm anyone. Moreover, now that she had lost her spiritual root and all her cultivation, why would she suddenly attack Shen Li?

"Junior Sister, there are many suspicious points in this matter, and I will definitely investigate it thoroughly. Before that, you should focus on recovering from your injuries and not worry about these things anymore." Lin Yu's tone was still gentle, but it carried an undeniable firmness.

The disciples standing to the side, however, remained relentless.

"Senior Brother Lin Yu, are you trying to protect Shen Chumo?"

“That’s right. Shen Chumo is usually arrogant and domineering. Now that she has injured Junior Sister Shen Li, she still dares to be so rude. Senior Brother, you can’t take her side.” Another round-faced disciple chimed in, his face showing righteous indignation.
