Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 799 World 347

Shen Ruyin was learning from Chen Ling and was making great progress every day, while Fu He and Jing Hong encountered difficulties.

It's not that they have difficulty identifying the problem.

The people they worked with were all personal disciples of the peak masters of their respective peaks. Even if one or two were incompetent, there were always some capable individuals with sufficient prestige among the junior disciples.

Some know they were wrong, but they weren't the ringleaders, and they want to quickly tell what they know to atone for their mistakes.

Some, hoping to curry favor with these direct disciples, would proactively send them messages.

But the more you know, the more trouble you attract.

Since it concerned her younger sister, Shen Ruwan naturally got involved and would occasionally give Shen Ruyin some information.

That day, she stormed up Broken Thought Peak, and even Yu Xing's cuteness couldn't lessen her anger.

Shen Ruyin quickly poured her a cup of tea: "Why are you so angry, sister?"

“It’s all because of those idiots,” Shen Ruwan said, downing her tea in one gulp and slamming the cup on the table.

Shen Ruyin believed that if she had used just a little more force, the cup would have shattered into pieces, instead of just having a few cracks as it did now.

Shen Ruyin felt a little regretful; although the cup wasn't a famous brand, she had used it for quite a while.

"It was my fault for taking it out on you; I used too much force. I'll bring you some other cups tomorrow," Shen Ruwan said, her anger subsiding as she realized she had broken her sister's things. She quickly pulled her down to sit and talk business.

"The information I received earlier was just a few people spreading rumors, but now that I've gone to investigate with my second senior brother and senior brother Jinghong, I've found out that there were far more than just a few people."

Shen Ruwan gritted her teeth: "It's almost spread throughout the sect, from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment disciples, they're just keeping it from us."

Shen Ruyin was also somewhat surprised: "So many people? That's impossible, could it be that someone is stirring things up?"

Shen Ruwan nodded: "Isn't it because someone stirred things up? But none of the people who were caught would admit it, only saying that they were jealous of you."

"Who would believe that? If they were jealous, they would know to keep it away from us. Most of the direct disciples from each peak don't even know about this. They are the ones most likely to know who got the spot on Breakthrough Peak."

"Those who deliberately stirred up trouble have all been locked in the sword formation by Senior Brother Jinghong. They can only come out when they tell the truth."

Shen Ruyin thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid they were sent from outside. Even if they lose their lives, they won't tell the truth."

"I'm not afraid," Shen Ruwan snorted. "Even if they're stubborn, they can't be as tough as Senior Brother Jinghong."

"Before we dispersed, Senior Brother Jinghong and one of Senior Brother Fufeng were arguing about whether or not to perform a soul search. Senior Brother Fufeng felt that soul search was too cruel, so he wanted to get us involved to bolster his support. He told us to take sides and submit to the majority."

“Of course I’m on Jinghong’s side,” Shen Ruwan said, counting them off to Shen Ruyin one by one.

Besides her and Fuhe, as well as Li Miaoyi, who had a good relationship with them, and several disciples from the Beast Taming Peak, most of the direct disciples also agreed to the soul search.

After all, these people were able to spread this matter so widely among the junior disciples, stirring up prejudice and resentment among the lower ranks towards Shen Ruyin and Po Nian Peak, which was something these direct disciples could not tolerate.

Even if we don’t know how many people believe the rumors, if someone dares to do this to Shen Ruyin and Po Nianfeng now, wouldn’t they do it to other people in the future?

With her master Chen Ling protecting her and being able to confirm that the process was indeed compliant, Shen Ruyin naturally had the confidence to make a scene.

But who doesn't have selfish motives? As direct disciples, which one of them hasn't received extra help and resources from their master in private?

If they are dragged out as targets and have their masters and the main peak they come from just because their master is the peak master, and this is all because of a little bit of favoritism from their master, who can be sure that they will be able to get away unscathed like Shen Ruyin?

Shen Ruyin quickly guessed why these people agreed, and secretly gave a thumbs up to Chen Ling's decision to require the personal disciples of each peak to join.

Everyone originally thought that Chen Ling did this to prevent anyone from talking nonsense again, and to demonstrate his impartiality.

In retrospect, it is because their situations are similar to Shen Ruyin's that they are better able to ensure that their decisions are not swayed by everyday personal relationships.

"That senior brother had no choice but to ask my master for permission. Now they've all gone to the main peak together."

Shen Ruwan lowered her voice: "Li Miaoyi told me privately that among those who were arrested, there was a cousin from the same family as this Senior Brother Fu Feng, and therefore he was particularly opposed to soul searching."

“I see,” Shen Ruyin said. “Then I’m afraid this senior brother should also investigate.”

Shen Ruwan nodded: "Before I left, I also whispered the same thing to Senior Brother Fuhe, and he said he would act according to the circumstances."

After saying that, Shen Ruwan smiled again: "Many of the people on the list are acquainted with Senior Brother Fuhe. I was worried that he would want to let them go."

Shen Ruyin shook her head: "Although Senior Brother Fuhe is easy-going and has a wide circle of friends, he is never ambiguous when it comes to serious matters and is also decisive."

“That’s right,” Shen Ruwan agreed. “Otherwise, with Senior Brother not in the sect for so many years, Master wouldn’t have been able to let Senior Brother Fuhe manage things so easily.”

Having said most of what needed to be said, the two sisters, who hadn't seen each other for a while, were finally able to reminisce about their longing for each other.

When it got a little darker, Shen Ruwan should head back; she needed to find out the results of the soul-searching.

Indeed, Shen Ruwan was now certain that Sect Leader Qian would agree to the soul search.

She had just been seen off by Shen Ruyin when she suddenly turned back on her sword: "Yinyin, did I forget to tell you where the information was leaked from?"

Shen Ruyin thought for a moment: "It seems like they didn't say."

"Thank goodness you remembered," Shen Ruwan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in her ear, "It was news that leaked from the Enforcement Hall."

“My master has finalized the list and sent it to each of the main peaks and the Enforcement Hall. The Enforcement Hall will also arrange suitable people to go along based on the available personnel.”

"The elder of the Enforcement Hall was careless in his work. His disciple saw the roster, and I heard that the elder even said a few words when he saw your name, which is how the news got out."

“The Hall of Enforcement is home to disciples from all the peaks, making it one of the most chaotic and fastest-spreading places in the sect in terms of information.”

Shen Ruwan could hardly hide the schadenfreude in her eyes: "The law enforcement hall is just like a tavern or restaurant in the mortal world, full of gossips who can't even keep a little bit of information to themselves."

"Such an incompetent elder of the Enforcement Hall, he will certainly not be able to continue in his position after this incident."
