Chapter 088: What Should You Call Me?

She doesn't need me to save her.

If I save her, she will still harm me.

If I don't save her, then nothing will happen, right?

This is called, letting go of the urge to help, and respecting others' fate!

Good!

"Are we just going to watch her step by step into a worse situation?"

Lu Ye did not answer this question, just looked at Sun Ruowei with calm eyes.

At this moment, not answering is the best answer.

"Really can't help?"

"Can't!"

Two words, resolute and without any room for negotiation.

Sun Ruowei stepped back two steps.

"Okay, I understand, then I won't disturb you anymore."

"Uncle, take care, I won't see you off."

Sun Ruowei left under Lu Ye's smiling gaze, and only after her figure disappeared from sight did Lu Ye close the door again.

"Such a polite, such a gentle person, why is it that..."

Damn, habitual nosiness, now doesn't seem to be the time for nosiness.

What should I do next?

"Ding, a fellow traveler, a fellow traveler, I want to see what this fellow traveler will do."

Lu Ye?

A screen, without Lu Ye's consent, had already floated in front of Lu Ye.

Lu Ye...

Damn, this system is getting to know me better and better!

If the system asked Lu Ye if he wanted to watch, Lu Ye would definitely be too lazy to watch, but the system started playing without Lu Ye's consent, so Lu Ye had no choice, right? He couldn't just beat up the system, could he?

Cough, anyway, sorting out treasures isn't such a tedious task.

Watching won't affect anything.

Lu Ye felt as if he had returned to his childhood on Earth, when he was fostered in an orphanage, and the orphanage somehow got a large amount of cotton, the kind that hadn't been shelled yet.

The head of the orphanage called all the children over and had them start shelling the cotton, as if to reward them, the head showed them an open-air TV.

Shelling cotton while watching TV.

That turned out to be one of the rare beautiful memories in Lu Ye's life.

Now, there is a similar situation.

Sun Ruowei returned to Bai Qiulan's residence, and Bai Qiulan was still pale.

"How is it?"

Seeing that Lu Ye was not following behind Sun Ruowei, Yue Hongling became disappointed.

"He said that Qiulan had clearly told him that she didn't need his help."

Indeed.

At this moment, Bai Qiulan's body was trembling slightly.

She felt as if she was dreaming, dreaming that she had fallen into a deep hole filled with icy water, not only with the piercing cold but also with the fear of drowning.

She wanted to break free, to leave this deep hole.

But the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.

In the past, at such times, a pair of warm hands would appear, grabbing her hand, and a warm breath would make her hold on tightly.

Those strong arms would hold her and rush straight up, leaving all the cold and fear of drowning far behind.

But this time, no matter how she sank, no matter how she fell, that breath never appeared again.

"My husband, my husband, save me..."

Yue Hongling and Sun Ruowei both looked at Bai Qiulan, listening to her dream-like cries, both of them silent.

Her subconscious was hoping that Lu Ye would save her.

No one wants to die.

"No, I don't believe that only Lu Ye can save Qiulan. I will go to the Sect Leader. There are so many talented people in the Great Dao Sect, surely someone can save her?" Sun Ruowei couldn't take it anymore; she refused to believe this.

Yue Hongling's eyes were full of sorrow.

"It's useless, it's useless. In the vast heavens, among the countless gods and buddhas, only senior brother can save our master, only senior brother can."

"Then I will have the Sect Leader order Lu Ye to save her!"

Sun Ruowei left in a huff, heading straight for the Great Dao Peak.

Soon, she met Liu Zhangfeng.

"Sect Leader, Bai Qiulan is now severely injured and unconscious, suspected to be poisoned. According to her disciple Yue Hongling, only Lu Ye can save her. I have come to request a Sect Leader's decree, please grant it and order Lu Ye to save his master."

Hearing this, Liu Zhangfeng's heart tightened, and the thoughts of a loyal follower took over.

"How could Junior Sister Bai be poisoned? I will go see her!"

"Changming, immediately summon the Supreme Elders from the Medical Peak and the Alchemy Peak to Qiulan Peak!"

Sun Ruowei emphasized, "Sect Leader, you going to see her is useless, the people from the Medical Peak and the Alchemy Peak are also useless. Only Lu Ye has the method to save her. I am skilled in healing but even I have no way. You just need to order Lu Ye to save her."

Only then did Liu Zhangfeng remember that the Sun Ruowei before him was also a highly skilled healer.

But when it came to Lu Ye, the mind dominated by romantic thoughts was instantly overtaken by the mind of a Sect Leader.

He calmed down.

"Junior Sister Bai is Lu Ye's master, why wouldn't he save her?" Liu Changfeng asked.

Sun Ruowei's expression froze.

How to answer?

To say that Lu Ye would save her, he would have to become a rebellious disciple who defies his master?

Even if Bai Qiulan were saved, would she still have the face to live on?

Sun Ruowei was quite familiar with Bai Qiulan and knew that she was quite traditional and adhered strictly to etiquette.

She would absolutely not allow anything improper to happen between herself and her disciple.

"Lu Ye does have some difficulties, but this matter is absolutely not detrimental to him. All it takes is an order from the Sect Leader, and everything will fall into place!"

In Sun Ruowei's view, Bai Qiulan was undoubtedly fond of Lu Ye, but due to their status, neither could cross that line.

However, the Sect Leader's order had to be obeyed.

Thus, with the intervention of a third party, the emotional progress between the two would be forcibly pushed forward.

Liu Changfeng understood.

Although he didn't know why Lu Ye wouldn't save her, if even Lu Ye wouldn't save her, he, as the Sect Leader, couldn't force someone to save her.

If he were to forcibly issue the order, Lu Ye, out of respect for the Great Dao Sect's assistance, might still save her.

But after saving her, Lu Ye might directly leave the Great Dao Sect, clearing all debts between them.

But that was Junior Sister Bai...

On one side was the future powerhouse the entire sect had bet on, and on the other was the woman he himself admired.

Liu Changfeng's expression turned serious.

He sat in the Sect Leader's seat.

Looking at Sun Ruowei, he spoke.

"Junior Sister Bai has been poisoned, and it should be the physicians from the Medical Peak and the alchemists from the Alchemy Peak who go to detoxify her. Lu Ye is just a cultivator who knows nothing about these arts, how could he possibly detoxify and cure her?"

"Changming, hurry and invite the Supreme Elders from the Alchemy Peak and the Medical Peak!"

Deputy Sect Leader Ji Changming immediately agreed and hurriedly acknowledged, then quickly left.

"Liu Changfeng, you!"

Sun Ruowei's eyes were filled with disbelief, which then turned into deep disappointment.

She couldn't believe that Liu Changfeng, who had so admired Bai Qiulan, would now resolutely abandon her.

Liu Changfeng's expression was also extremely serious.

He looked at Sun Ruowei, his voice stern and cold.

"Junior sister, outside of Avenue Peak, you may call me Liu Zhangfeng or Senior Brother Liu, I won't mind. But here in the Inquiry Hall of Avenue Peak, how should you address me?"

Sun Ruowei looked at Liu Zhangfeng seated high on the Sect Leader's throne.

At this moment, Liu Zhangfeng appeared immensely tall, his face stern and cold, like a deity devoid of any emotion.

Sun Ruowei was startled, gazing at Liu Zhangfeng.

Her voice slightly trembling, she gave her answer.

"Sect... Sect Leader..."
