Chu Rou smiled faintly and waved her hand to Su Mu, "No worries! Master Su is being too polite, that's all in the past!"
After the Old Sect Master passed away, Chu Rou's position within the Holy Sect became very awkward... In terms of seniority, Chu Rou should be a rank higher than the current Sect Leader, but in reality, as the wife of the former Sect Leader, Chu Rou had no real power.
So, this time when Chu Rou was kidnapped and then put up for auction... although the Holy Sect exerted great effort to find her, Chu Rou was very clear in her heart that perhaps her whereabouts had been exposed and she was kidnapped likely because someone within the Holy Sect had orchestrated it!
After all, Chu Rou was just an extra person in the Holy Sect now!
This is also why, after being rescued, Chu Rou did not immediately reunite with people from the Holy Sect but instead stuck around Ye Fan.
