Leaving the sect

Nodding his head, Shun Long smiled as he first dipped his finger into the black ointment.

Her hand then stroked Liu Mei's hand, like a painting on canvas.

The feeling of touching the smooth skin like Liu Mei's milk as she applied the ointment was something unique to Shun Long, while the atmosphere around the two of them slowly changed.

It felt like the distance between them, getting shorter with each hand sweep.

After Shun Long finished applying the black ointment in Liu Mei's hand, he stared and said

'' Senior Brother, you should be able to move your body right away. The crippling poison will quickly disappear and you should be able to apply the Green Ointment on yourself.''

Looking at Liu Mei's face which looked rather sad when hearing this, Shun Long smiled as he continued

''However, if you feel uncomfortable and do not want to move first, I can definitely help you apply the rest.''

Feeling that her thoughts had been seen, Liu Mei felt embarrassed, but she still happily nodded her head with a dazzling smile on her face, as she then whispered.

''You don't need to call me big sister anymore .. Just call me Liu Mei.''

Shun nodded his head, and with the same smile as before, he said

''Then you should also call me Shun Long.''

Sensing her cheeks heating up, Liu Mei lowered her head but she still felt happy in her heart.

After Shun Long finished applying the green ointment in hand, he said—

''You should start to feel the effect of green ointment in less than 10 minutes.''

Liu Mei then leaked Shun Long's eyes intently, and after taking a deep breath, she said in a serious voice—

''Shun Long ... You must leave the 'floating cloud sect'.''

...

As he heard Liu Mei's words, Shun Long was stunned, as he stared into eyes full of surprise.

He had not expected to hear such a thing, especially from the sect princess.

However Liu Mei, did not mind Shun Long's reaction as she continued—

''Unless you plan to be an Outer Student forever, you must keep it on while you still can.

After all, 'the deepest city' was not as simple as it seemed.

Indeed, this thought had passed through Shun Long's mind, but he had only assumed that Liu Mei had not managed to meet anyone else until now.

However, Liu Mei also called Liu Changpun with a helpful name instead of calling him 'brother', and based on the hatred and disgust he thought, there seemed to be more to it than there seemed.

Seeing that Shun Long noticed what he said, Liu Mei then continued—

''The reason I am not together with the others, is because I do not plan to return to the 'floating cloud sect'!''

After finally saying the words he had stored in his heart, all of Liu Mei's emotions exploded with them, while then continuing to explain everything, without any intention to completely hide the inner matter. .

''Do you know why no disciples or Elders from the 'inner city' protested, when Liu Changpun said that everyone should gather in the region 5 days later no matter what?

That is because once you become an Inner Student, you will be forced to choose one of the 5 families you want to 'follow'.

The family you choose to follow, will then offer attractive rewards depending on your strength and potential, but once you join them, you will have to follow their every command.

Everyone who entered the 'nature Vermilion' of the deepest city, had to listen to the words of the 'future sect master'.... whereas for the top 100 in the arena rankings? It was because they were all the strongest outer disciples as well as the 'future of the sect'.

As long as they did not die here, everyone in the top 100 would enter the 'inner city' sooner or later, and become inner disciples. Therefore, let them enter 'the Vermilion realm', in the end it was still the best advantage of the sect.''

Shun Long had trouble believing what he had just heard, but deep down, he felt that what Liu Mei had told him was the truth.

Unknowingly, Shun Long could not help but throw out a question that suddenly popped into his mind

''Then, does Fu Li know about all of this?''

If the fat Fu really knew about this and did not tell him, then everything would be very different.

Liu Mei looked as she said

''I don't know. As the heir of the Fu family, Fu Li should have known, but due to his nature, it was very possible that his family had not told him.''

However, Liu Mei's answer was undesirable to Shun Long, as many different scenarios had now formed in his mind.

''Did Fu Li and Lu Wen approach me because they wanted to attract me in their family? It was actually possible for Lu Wen to claim that he was 'forced' to return to the sect, but Fu Li knew nothing about me when she met me in the 'Alchemist Guild'.''

Coming to this conclusion, Shun Long's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but he still decided to get a clear answer from the fat Fu in the future.

''So, are you going to stay in the 'floating cloud sect'?''

As Liu Mei voiced her question, she did not realize that she excitedly revealed Shun Long with sparkling eyes, as she waited to hear the answer.
