Chapter 75: Shen Shimeng's Cunning

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, Zhao Xingheng would never have believed that someone who had been in the Dragon Roar Society for many years and was trusted by Shen Shimeng could have two faces.
In the ancestral hall, there are not only Zhao Xingheng's ancestors' tablets, but also the brave heroes who sacrificed themselves. It is a solemn place, but Miao Miao shows no respect at all.
He suddenly remembered the scene where Xiao Yao'er was punished and had to kneel in the temple. He used his grandfather's memorial tablet as a shield, thinking that Xiao Yao'er would also find a memorial tablet, but she just hid under the table. Now it seems that Xiao Yao'er is really... a jerk on the surface, but her heart is a little bit better than her appearance.
"I was just telling the truth, you have no right to punish me." These were the first words Miaomiao said when she saw Shenshimeng.
"Why would I punish you?" Shenshimeng coldly snorted, not caring at all. "From today onwards, you are no longer a member of the Longming Club. You can go wherever you want."
"Shen Shimeng, about Maomao..." Zhao Xingheng tugged at Shen Shimeng's sleeve, wanting to play peacemaker. "Miaomiao has been with you for many years. I think there may be some misunderstandings between you. How about opening up and resolving the issues? What do you think?"
"I have nothing to say to her," Shen Shimeng said firmly.
Miaomiao looked at Shen Shimeng in frustration and anger, stood up, and walked in front of her. She grabbed her shoulder and said, "You have nothing to say to me?! After our many years of sisterhood, you have nothing to say to me!" Miaomiao roared, expressing her dissatisfaction in her heart. "I have always been loyal to you and have been true to myself. I treated you as my own sister, my role model. But what about you! What about you!"
"What's wrong with me?" Shen Shimeng asked calmly, unaffected.
"What's wrong with you?" Miao Miao pointed outside the door, too angry to articulate her words properly, "Ever since Xiaoyao came, all you talk about is her! You're obsessed with her! You even invited Yin Lang to teach her martial arts, Shen Shimeng, I've been with you for so many years, have I ever been treated like this?!"
"Are you saying that Mr. Yinlang will teach you martial arts just because I ask him?" Shen Shimeng calmly retorted.
"Fine... I can overlook all of that." Miao Miao cried, revealing the last straw that crushed her, "Feigongge. You clearly said you wanted me to marry into it, but what about you? You only care about Xiaoyaor, Shen Shimeng. Is our sisterhood of many years no match for someone you just met a few days ago?!"
"Wow..." Zhao Xingheng was dumbfounded by what he heard, unable to understand this woman's thought process. "Shimeng and Yao'er are sisters... even if they have different mothers, they still share the same blood. Miaomiao, no matter how close you are to Shimeng or how loyal you are to Longming, you shouldn't compare yourself to someone else's biological sister."
"Why can't I compare?! I have always been loyal to Longming Club and Shenshi Meng, but Xiaoyao Er clearly favors Yueqiandian more!" Miaomiao shouted angrily, "I refuse to lose to such a person, I am not willing, not willing!"
"You are losing your sanity a bit," Zhao Xingheng sighed and shook his head. It seemed useless to persuade her, so he turned to Shen Shimeng and said, "Shimeng, Miaomiao is blinded by jealousy now. I suggest letting her go help my dad instead. He has been short of manpower."
Shen Shimeng looked at him coldly, making him at a loss. After a long time, she rolled her eyes and said indifferently, "You would actually send such a person to your own father. Xingheng brother, are you brainless or unfilial?"
"Me?" Zhao Xingheng pointed at himself, surprised, and asked, "Me... I just feel that Miaomiao is not a bad person, just..."
"Can a person with a good heart want to kill someone?" Shen Shimeng interrupted him, continuing, "You should know, right? Who wanted to kill Yao'er, you were the first to know, right?"
In a single sentence, Zhao Xingheng and Miao Miao were completely stunned, Shen Shimeng let out a cold snort with accumulated disappointment, feeling indifferent, "Miao Miao, I gave you three chances, but you never took them." She turned around, approaching Miao Miao step by step, "The first time, you wanted to kill Yao'er, and I publicly suppressed this matter, just to give you a chance to change. The second time, I entrusted you with Yao'er's food, but you didn't know what's good for you, you repeatedly tampered with the food, if it wasn't for me timely replacing those dishes, Yao'er might have already fallen ill without any reason, right?"
"How...how...how did you know?" Miao Miao finally realized how terrifying Shen Shimeng was. She had known all along, but was able to keep it hidden completely. She was truly no match for this woman.
"This is the third time now. If you can repent before the heroes of the Dragon Roar Association, I will consider giving you another chance. Unfortunately, you don't even want to act." Shen Shimeng narrowed her eyes, her gaze seeing through the person in front of her. "You say you are loyal to the Dragon Roar Association, so why do you want to marry into the Fei Gongge? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the Dragon Roar Association and achieve merit?"
Miao Miao's eyes began to panic, and every word of Shen Shimeng made her speechless.
"I thought you could at least understand why you can't marry into the Flying Bow Pavilion, but now it seems that you don't know." Shen Shimeng raised an eyebrow, his tone full of disdain. "Yao'er is the daughter of the Martial Arts Alliance leader, the prince's master from a foreign land, and the younger sister of the deputy chairman of the Dragon Roar Society. When she marries into the Flying Bow Pavilion, it is a lowly marriage. The Flying Bow Pavilion will hold her up like a constellation and show even more respect to the Dragon Roar Society. But what about you? You are just an unknown person. Just based on you, do you also want to become the lady of the Flying Bow Pavilion?"
"What you said is true, but you don't have to be so direct!" Zhao Xingheng stood in front of Shen Shimeng, separating her from Miao Miao. "Miao Miao, although Shimeng's words are not pleasant to hear, if you think about it carefully, you will understand. If we just marry a... member to Feigongge, it is not considered a real marriage alliance, it can only be seen as a way of getting rid of someone. Feigongge will definitely not be satisfied, and at that time, the position of the young master's wife will not be secure."
Finally, the words of these two people made Miao Miao suddenly understand. It turns out that Shen Shimeng is not trying to give all the good things to Xiaoyao, she is considering her own future. Shen Shimeng has her future in mind.
"Sister Shi Meng... Sister Shi Meng, I know I was wrong..." Miao Miao knelt down, grabbing Shi Meng's hand and begging for forgiveness while crying, "I thought you didn't care about me anymore after you had Yao Er, but now I know, you were thinking of me. Sister Shi Meng, I won't argue with Yao Er anymore in the future, please forgive me this time, don't kick me out of Dragon Roar Club, I have nowhere else to go..."
"Yes, Shim
"I, Shen Shimeng, have never been a person who repays grievances with virtue." Shen Shimeng turned around, leaving a resolute figure for the two behind her. "I don't understand why you think that as long as you repent, all the wrongs can be forgiven. Miaomiao, the Longming Society no longer has a place for you. Tomorrow, I will hold a meeting to expose what you have done. It is best for you to flee before facing the criticism of our brothers and sisters."
Shen Shimeng left without any room for discussion.
Zhao Xingheng watched her departing figure in a daze, unable to calm himself for a long time. Yes, Shimeng has never been someone who repays grievances with kindness. Father always said she had the decision-making of a king, and she wouldn't compromise the overall situation for the sake of a woman's benevolence. But he always felt that this kind of Shimeng was somewhat lacking in humanity...
"President... President, please help me..." Miaomiao, seeing that Shen Shimeng was unwilling to listen, had no choice but to turn her attention to Zhao Xingheng. "I can go to Senior Zhao's place if you want, just don't kick me out of the Dragon Roar Association, and don't let Vice President... Please, Vice President, show me a little mercy! If what I have done becomes known, I will truly have no face to see the world again, and I will have no choice but to die!"
"Oh my goodness, what the heck happened? Get up first." Zhao Xingheng helped Miaomiao up, unable to bear the sight of his former teammate begging like this. "Here, I'll give you some money and write a letter to my father for you. You go find him... As for Shimeng, I'll persuade her, but tonight, you must leave, understood?"
"Um, I understand, I understand," Miaomiao wiped her tears and nodded vigorously, "Thank you, President."
"And also," Zhao Xingheng looked at her with hesitation, after much deliberation, he finally said it, "Stop hurting people, my father... is much crueler than Shimeng."
The sky has begun to darken, and Miao Miao doesn't know how long she has been standing here. She only knows that she will definitely pay back this humiliation.
Sisters united, right? Well, someday she will make these sisters turn against each other!
