"Mother, why are you doing this to me?"
His voice was low.
"What have I done wrong?"
Xiao Jingyan took a deep breath.
"Yifeng, I will ask you one last time: are you really willing to give up everything for Su Jin?"
Xiao Yifeng gritted his teeth.
"I..."
"I understand."
Xiao Jingyan interrupted him.
"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being unfeeling!"
"From today on, you are no longer my son, and you are no longer the chief disciple of Xiaoyao Sect. You will not participate in any affairs of the sect!"
Xiao Yifeng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, standing frozen in place.
He couldn't believe that his mother was truly severing ties with him.
"Mother..."
He trembled as he spoke.
"Are you really going to be this heartless?"
Xiao Jingyan ignored him and turned to Lu Xueyao.
"Xueyao, go and invite Master Li here."
Lu Xueyao complied and left.
Xiao Yifeng watched Xiao Jingyan's retreating figure, his eyes filled with hatred.
He gritted his teeth and whispered, "One day, I will make you regret this!"
Moments later, Lu Xueyao brought me to the high platform.
I walked up to Xiao Jingyan and respectfully bowed.
"Master."
Xiao Jingyan looked at me kindly and reached out to take my hand.
" Shanshan, you have suffered."
"I have been in a coma for these years, causing you much distress."
I shook my head.
"Master, you are being too harsh on yourself."
"I haven't suffered any grievances."
Xiao Jingyan sighed.
"Alas, it is all my fault."
"If it weren't for my coma, Yifeng wouldn't have turned out like this."
She turned her gaze toward Xiao Yifeng, her eyes icy.
"Yifeng, look at Shanshan, then look at yourself."
"Ask yourself honestly, do you deserve her?"
Xiao Yifeng's face turned ashen, and he remained silent.
Xiao Jingyan withdrew her gaze and continued speaking to me.
" Shanshan, you are the person I trust the most."
"From today onward, you will be my Adopted Daughter."
"I am prepared to hand over everything of the Xiaoyao Sect to you."
I was taken aback and quickly declined.
"Master, this is absolutely not acceptable!"
"What merit do I have to bear such a heavy responsibility?"
Xiao Jingyan helped me up, her tone resolute.
" Shanshan, you must not belittle yourself."
"I believe in you; you will surely lead the Xiaoyao Sect to glory."
She turned to face the crowd and announced loudly.
"From today onward, Li Shanshan will be my Xiao Jingyan's Adopted Daughter and also the Young Sect Master of the Xiaoyao Sect!"
"In the future, she will share the leadership of the Xiaoyao Sect with me!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
Xiao Yifeng's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with jealousy and anger.
Xiao Jingyan paid no heed to the crowd's reaction and continued speaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I ask that you keep today's events confidential."
"I don't want the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect to be tarnished because of this ungrateful child."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Rest assured, Sect Leader, we know what to do."
Xiao Jingyan nodded in satisfaction.
"That's good."
She looked around, her gaze resolute.
"From today onward, I will take back the leadership of the Xiaoyao Sect!"
"I will bring the Xiaoyao Sect back to the pinnacle of the cultivation world!"
Upon hearing this, a deafening cheer erupted in the hall.
I stood beside Xiao Jingyan, watching her spirited demeanor, filled with admiration.
This woman is truly remarkable.
But why did she choose to awaken at this moment?
Could it be that she had foreseen all of this?
Would she be able to win back people's hearts and secure her position as Sect Leader once more?
