Hearing the words “Sansheng Pagoda”, Xiao Ruoyao’s expression also became serious.
She said slowly, “The Sansheng Pagoda is one of the top ten forbidden places. It is not a place where you can come and go. Are you really going?”
Feng Shao nodded, and said with a serious expression, “The Sansheng Pagoda is very important for junior, so junior must go on this trip.”
After a long silence, Xiao Ruoyao said, “It stands to reason that I should stop you from going there. You are Ran’er’s fiancé, but this time, the place you are going has many dangers. I don’t want Ran’er to be forced to be a widow before she even gets married.”
Feng Shao said quite confidently, “Don’t worry, Aunt Xiao, I have a way to enter the Sansheng Pagoda. Although I can’t guarantee complete safety, as long as I’m careful, it won’t be a problem to get out of there.”
Xiao Ruoyao looked at Feng Shao, and after a while, she sighed softly, “If that’s the case, then you can go. Originally, I wanted Ran’er to come over and see you, but now, it seems we can only forget about it.”
Lin Xiaoran naturally knew the names of the ten forbidden places. With Lin Xiaoran’s character, if she knew that Feng Shao was going to the Sansheng Pagoda, she would do everything she could to prevent Feng Shao from going.
In this case, it’s better not to tell Lin Xiaoran at all, lest she worry for nothing.
Hearing what Xiao Ruoyao said, Feng Shao also understood, stood up and said, “Then junior will leave now, and I ask Aunt Xiao to take care of Xue’er.”
“It’s fine. Do not worry!”Feng Shao looked down again at Feng Lingxue, who was holding onto the hem of his clothes with a reluctant expression on his face, and said with a smile, “Xue’er, you have to listen to Aunt Xiao here, don’t be too willful, you know?”
Feng Lingxue pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “The disciple knows.”
Feng Shao nodded, saluted Xiao Ruoyao with cupped hands again, then turned and left.
After Feng Shao left, Feng Lingxue still looked at the direction from which Feng Shao had left and refused to look anywhere for a long time.
Xiao Ruoyao stepped forward, hugged Feng Lingxue’s shoulders, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, your master never fights uncertain battles. Since he assured us that he could get out of the Sansheng Pagoda, nothing would happen.”
Feng Lingxue asked worriedly, “Aunt Xiao, isn’t the Sansheng Pagoda very dangerous?”
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ruoyao said, “Actually, no one knows whether or not it’s dangerous. It’s just that people who enter the Sansheng Pagoda rarely come back.”
Feng Lingxue turned pale with shock.
“Then what will happen to master?”
But Xiao Ruoyao laughed in response to her worries.
“You don’t have to worry about your master. He said it’s okay, so it must be okay. Instead of worrying about your master, you little girl, you might as well concentrate on learning the sword from me. When your master comes back, just show him that you learned well and surprise your master!”
At the same time, Lin Xiaoran, who was practicing swordsmanship on the mountain behind Misty Peak, unconsciously glanced in the direction Feng Shao was leaving, and murmured, “Why do I feel… as if I missed something?”
—————————
Feng Shao’s departure from the Taiwei Sect can be regarded as a world-shattering earthquake to its disciples. Even after three days, many disciples still couldn’t come to their senses, and only felt that what happened that day was like a dream.
Senior Brother Shengzi, who was like a brother and a father who taught and raised them, just let go? Just leave them as junior brothers and sisters and quit the sect?
Before that day, if anyone said that one day Feng Shao would leave the sect, the listeners would not believe it.
Because in their view, Feng Shao has paid too much for this sect, and for everyone in this sect.
To everyone, he is like the spiritual leader of Taiwei Sect, not just the head disciple.
Therefore, this behavior of Feng Shao made many people find it unacceptable.
But what made it even more unacceptable for them was the attitude of the head, Qing Yangzi.
Feng Shao’s behavior of breaking away from the sect naturally aroused Qing Yangzi’s anger.
He first reprimanded Feng Shao severely in front of all his disciples and then announced that he would expel Feng Shao from the sect.
He even asked the disciples that if they meet Feng Shao in the future, they should stop treating him as a person of Taiwei Sect, treat him as an enemy, take him down, and abolish his cultivation base.
Regarding Qing Yangzi’s words, no one present except Ling Xuzi immediately said that it should be so, everyone else remained silent.
Facing the silent disciples, Qing Yangzi’s heart became even angrier, he snorted heavily, and then turned back to the inner hall.
For some time afterward, the Taiwei Sect fell into an eerie calm.
The disciples still meditate on their cultivation and practice their swordsmanship, but there is a lot less communication with each other.
Even if there is some communication, they try to avoid the topic of “Feng Shao,” so as not to cause displeasure to the sect master.
But even so, they would always talk intentionally or unintentionally about how harmonious the sect was when Feng Shao was still there, and how the senior and junior brothers and sisters loved and took care of each other.
Whenever someone encountered a problem in cultivation, they could just ask and get the solution through Feng Shao.
They have long been used to Feng Shao helping them solve all their problems. Without this person, they feel empty in their hearts and can’t get excited about doing anything.
