Chapter 56: The Judgement (3)
Shen Yu felt as if his heart was being ripped apart by the bloodied sight of Lan Ming. It was as if she was going to die and leave him. He didn't want that.
'She must have tried her best to protect this woman yet she is in such state. Is she even okay? Why can't she speak? Please speak, even a single word.'
However, Lan Ming really couldn't speak. Her mental health was in shambles after it was hit by blow after blows. The only reason she was even conscious was because she couldn't watch Song Junwan dying. How could she speak in such a state?
Shen Yu clenched his fist and a rage he had never felt before surged in his whole body, threatening to destroy the fabric of reality itself. However, it was then a black smoke rose from his body and mended everything.
Shen Yu didn't notice and tried to suppress his anger. He needed to do some things first before he would vent out his anger.
He looked down at the woman Lan Ming was holding and crouched down near her. He touched her forehead as a green glow began to emit from his finger which covered the woman's body completely.
It took only a second before the glow died down, revealing Song Junwan in her peak state. However, her soul was still affected by the battle and Shen Yu didn't heal it as it was always better for Soul to heal itself. He did give a boost for it so she could recover quickly.
Lan Ming's eyes widened as a wide smile appeared on her face. Tears began to drop from her eyes as she looked at her Elder Sister. She held her face and checked her, finding everything completely normal.
She almost couldn't believe it but she had to. It was all right in front of her. She wiped her tears and looked up at Shen Yu. With a heartwarming smile on her face, she said.
"Thank you, Master Shen."
And that was enough to make Shen Yu dazed. He had seen beautiful women and Lan Ming was definitely among them, however this smile of hers was different. Somehow, it hit directly at his heart and he felt as if had accomplished something great.
He could feel Lan Ming's happiness throughout that smile. She was truly grateful, for not only saving Song Junwan but for also coming to save her.
Shen Yu smiled and wiped her tears. He rubbed her cheeks and said.
"You should smile more like this. It makes you the most beautiful woman in the world. As for your problems, I ask you to leave them to me. From now one, every problem of yours is mine so just relax and let me handle it, okay?"
Lan Ming nodded in excitement and said.
"As you say, Yu. But I can't just accept something like that for free, right? So how about I give you all my life? That way my problems will be yours along with my happiness."
Shen Yu chuckled and patted her head. He then asked.
"Then tell me who here have the right to live and who don't. This is your sect and you shall pass the judgement."
Lan Ming's smile disappeared as her mood turned grim. However, knowing that Shen Yu was with her, she felt reassured and safe. So, she began to explain what had happened in the Sect.
It all consisted of how the Grand Elder always wanted the seat of Sect Leader and was plotting against Song Junwan. Song Junwan was careful around him and also monitored all of his actions.
However, suddenly out of nowhere, almost all of the sect began supporting the Grand Elder. If it wasn't for the terrifying Cultivation base of Song Junwan, she might have died way early in the hands of the Grand Elder.
After that, she had began to nurture her own faction in the Sect and she was able to some extent. A whole mountain peak was on her side and day by day, their faction was growing.
Song Junwan and Lan Ming made sure to properly train the disciples and also protected them from all the dangers. All they wanted in return was their loyalty, not even their strength. As long as she had a faction supporting her, she would be the Sect Leader.
Lan Ming was also dispatched to gather allies and talented disciples who would support Song Junwan. That's why she was stationed in the Green Silk Town.
However, Song Junwan's health was getting worse day by day and because of that, she had decided to change her plans. Since she knew there was no core for her illness and that she would die, she decided to help her faction escape the Sect.
After all, they would all be killed if the Grand Elder became the Sect Leader which was bound to happen. Lan Ming's early arrival was even better and she decided to make a surprise escape.
But who knew that even her own faction would betray her. The people she considered as family and treated them as if they were her own children, in the end bared their weapons against her.
Only the ten young women were the stubborn ones who refused to change sides and were willing to die with Song Junwan and Lan Ming.
All in all, it was a helpless situation where Song Junwan and Lan Ming were cornered and if Shen Yu had not arrived in them, they would have been killed by the Grand Elder.
Shen Yu kept looking down on the ground so that Lan Ming doesn't see his eyes. What he hated the most in the world was traitors who betrayed their own kind.,The people who were ungrateful to the core. He had always hated them and after inheriting this new body, those feelings just grew stronger because of how Shen Yu had died.
He hated them all. And now he was again seeing traitors and not a few but a whole Sect. Not only that, but because of these traitors, his Lan Ming had to suffer so badly.
He took a deep breath and asked.
"Tell me, Ming'er, do you want me to forgive the disciples since they were technically forced?"
He wanted to kill them all but he also wanted to see something first.
