Chapter 234: Turmoil
Meng Qianxue looked at Chen Qing's calm profile. After hesitating, she still said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Chen, thank you for escorting me today. Our situations now... actually have quite a bit in common. Those True Disciple candidate gatherings, if there are more in the future, they most likely won't invite me again either."
"If... if in the future there are gains in cultivation, or if you feel troubled, perhaps... we can interact and exchange insights more."
She had always been proud and arrogant. Among the inner sect disciples, she had been an existence like the moon surrounded by stars.
However, the crushing defeat challenging Lu Chenming was like a basin of ice water that not only extinguished her flames but also made her see the cruelty of reality clearly.
Those fellow disciples who had earnestly gathered around her in the past, though everything appeared the same on the surface, that warmth had quietly receded.
The small circle gatherings of Wan Shangyi, Han Xiong and others no longer extended invitations to her.
The fickleness of human nature was nothing more than this.
She quietly observed the young man beside her with her peripheral vision.
He showed neither deliberate flattery nor the slightest contempt. That composure instead made her feel at ease.
