"So, all those rumors that have been circulating are true..."
Thinking about this, Yue Bugong couldn’t help but let out a self-mocking laugh.
"Repayment, repayment...
Zheng Changnian was nurtured in Cangxuan Valley for over ten years.
Without a word, he left with Nangong Jin.
And this Shen Han, how long has he been in the Star Tower? Not even half a year.
Who exactly is repaying the sect for its nurturing..."
Now, the more outstanding Shen Han performs, the more regret Yue Bugong feels in his heart.
"Spread this news to others as well.
Let’s see what they think."
Yue Bugong’s face was grim as he waved his hand, signaling the person before him to leave.
In the past, when Shen Han embarrassed Cangxuan Valley in front of other Sect Leaders, Yue Bugong was only angry but not regretful.
But now, the more he thought about it, the more regretful he became.
Particularly, after carefully nurturing someone as useless as Zheng Changnian.
In the small courtyard on the east side, this news was specially relayed to them, according to Yue Bugong’s instructions.
Ying Jiu, who previously expressed her dissatisfaction in front of so many people,
left to travel for two months, only to return in embarrassment.
Considering she was a descendant of the Grand Elder, nobody chastised her.
Upon learning about Shen Han’s current strength and status,
Ying Jiu felt stifled and a bit upset, wondering why someone would purposely tell her this.
But now she dared not throw a tantrum and leave Cangxuan Valley again.
She gradually realized that the sect no longer doted on her the same way.
After the Zheng Changnian incident, Cangxuan Valley seemed to be trying to change.
Presumably, they were scared by a traitor like Zheng Changnian.
The other sects in the Northern Three Domains currently envy the Star Tower,
but they merely envy them and do not feel the deep regret that Cangxuan Valley does.
Cangxuan Valley indeed could discard treasures granted by the heavens.
Claiming they don’t regret it is impossible.
...
Traveling east from Snow Mountain House, less than two hundred miles,
in the mountains lies the territory of the Jun Family.
After Yao Wanning’s parents made their decision, they also conveyed the message to the Jun Family.
Snow Mountain House is a coalition built from multiple families.
Among them, the Yao Family is the most esteemed, with the Jun Family, Tan Family, and Luo Family ranking below them.
The four families have deep ties and intermarry frequently.
Although the Yao Family holds power, the interests between the families remain somewhat aligned.
A middle-aged woman walked into the courtyard with a frown.
"Wumo, you’ve been in contact with Wanning for over a year now, right?
Why is it so difficult to win over a little girl?"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman tossed some letters.
The letters contained information about Shen Han.
"Take a look, the Yao Family said that now Yao Wanning seems interested in this man.
Look at yourself, do you have any shame?
A disciple from the Outer Domain can capture Yao Wanning’s heart.
Yet you, Jun Wumo, can’t manage it."
Faced with this rebuke, Jun Wumo remained silent.
He simply accepted it, his expression unchanging.
"Find a way to deal with him, the people of the Yao Family still favor you.
But as for Wanning, you know how she is—she’s rebellious.
The more you persuade her, the more she defies.
