But Yuan Yujun was just an ordinary disciple, whereas Zhou Shuran was a direct successor of an Elder!
As a direct successor of an Elder, Zhou Shuran, though young and a latecomer to the Sect, had to be respectfully addressed as "Sister Zhou" by all disciples of the other seven Elders except for another direct successor of an Elder!
Even the ordinary disciples of other Elders had to address Zhou Shuran as Sister Zhou when they saw her.
After all, hierarchy within the Sect was very strict, with no room for overstepping. So, even though Yuan Yujun felt resentful, she still had to respectfully call Zhou Shuran Sister Zhou.
Initially, Yuan Yujun thought Xu Hao was Zhou Shuran's lover from outside, but she later realized that every time Zhou Shuran mentioned Xu Hao, her face was full of hatred; only then did she understand he was an enemy.
