After Betraying the Sect, the Senior Sister Cried

After Betraying the Sect, the Senior Sister Cried Plot:

I was the most inconspicuous junior disciple of the Xuanqing Sect, always punished by Senior Sister Shen Zhaotang to copy the sect rules. Until I overheard the sect leader plotting to steal my spiritual root to save his son. When I tried to escape, she stopped me—I thought she’d drag me back, but she shoved her life-saving jade pendant into my hand: “Run, don’t look back.” Later, I learned her parents were killed by the sect leader, and she’d hidden in the sect for ten years to avenge them—only to expose herself by protecting me, getting her cultivation destroyed. When I returned with medicine to save her, I found her sitting on the sect gate steps crying, clutching the osmanthus candy wrapper I’d secretly given her years ago. Turns out her strictness was a lie; she’d long seen me as the one she’d risk everything to protect.
