Qingyangzi, who was full of ambition a few months ago, has now become like this. It is really sad.

The barely breathing Qing Yangzi seemed to have sensed something and slowly opened his eyes. He opened his mouth and murmured, "Where's Shao'er? Where is Shao'er?"

Feng Shao was startled. How long had it been since he last heard this name? He remembered that when he first joined Taiwei Sect, Qing Yangzi called him this. At that time, Qing Yangzi was like a father to Feng Shao, and it was the first time in his two lives that he felt a trace of family affection.

But later, why did Qing Yangzi change? He became a stranger to Feng Shao, and made Feng Shao feel disappointed. After being disappointed again and again, Feng Shao finally chose to leave the sect.

Feng Shao lowered his eyes and whispered, "Master, your disciple is here."

A few months later, Feng Shao called out these two words again, but things and people had changed, and his state of mind was very different.

A smile slowly appeared on Qingyangzi's face: "Shao'er, you don't blame me anymore, right?"

Feng Shao remained silent.

Qing Yangzi sighed and whispered, "Ever since I took over the responsibility of the head of the sect from your master, I have been thinking about how to revive the Taiwei Sect every day. But my ability is limited, and I have failed to live up to your master's expectations. On the contrary, it is you who will gradually develop the Taiwei Sect."

At this point, Qing Yangzi smiled bitterly: "But I was really bewildered. I actually took all the credit for you, thinking that I could do the same with my ability. But what happened later told me that I was really wrong. But even so, I refused to admit my mistake to you, and even refused to admit that I was wrong. Shao'er, I am really a failure as the head of the sect."

But then, Qing Yangzi laughed again and said, "But I am a very successful master because I have a disciple like you!"

When a man is about to die, his words are good. At this moment, the resentment that Feng Shao had towards Qing Yangzi finally disappeared.

He said with a sad look: "Sometimes, I really want to go back to thirty years ago. Although we had nothing at that time, at least we didn't have so many things to worry about, and we didn't need to intrigue for various interests. But after Taiwei Sect gradually grew stronger, many things have changed. We are no longer as harmonious as before, and we no longer trust each other as before. Disciple wants to know, did I do the right thing or the wrong thing to strengthen Taiwei Sect?"

Yes, in fact, Feng Shao has never been a person who is attached to power. Strengthening Taiwei Sect is not his ideal, but Qingyangzi wants to strengthen Taiwei Sect, so Feng Shao does his best to do it. However, as Taiwei Sect gradually grows stronger, the relationship between master and apprentice becomes more and more distant, and finally they are like strangers now.

After a long time, Feng Shao still didn't get Qing Yangzi's answer. When he looked down again, he found that Qing Yangzi had closed his eyes and was silent.

Tears fall silently.

Even if Qing Yangzi had made a thousand mistakes, he was still the first person Feng Shao treated as a relative in his life. The moment Qing Yangzi closed his eyes, Feng Shao's previous resentment also disappeared.

Vaguely, Feng Shao recalled the conversation between the two when they first met:

"Would you like to be my disciple?"

"Then... can you save me?"

"If you accept me as your master, I will save you."

"What if I don't take you as my master?"

"...I will still save you."

"Then I am willing to take you as my master."

Life and death are so strange. When some people are alive, you always remember their shortcomings, and your expression and words are full of disgust. But when they will never appear in front of you again, you think more about their past goodness.

Perhaps, this is what the old saying means, the dead are greatest!

——————————

That day, Feng Shao resumed his identity as the eldest disciple of Taiwei Sect and returned to Taiwei Sect with Qingyangzi's body.

Death is like the extinguishing of a lamp. Qing Yangzi's past merits and demerits are no longer important. Feng Shao presided over Qing Yangzi's funeral as the eldest disciple of Changmen. And Feng Shao's name also returned to the genealogy of Taiwei Sect.

Many people have very complicated feelings towards Qing Yangzi. There is no doubt that during Qing Yangzi's tenure as the head, the status of Taiwei Sect achieved a qualitative leap. However, the one who made the greatest contribution was not Qing Yangzi, but Feng Shao. However, Feng Shao, the greatest contributor, was driven away by Qing Yangzi's unclear rewards and punishments, which caused dissatisfaction among many people.

But it is undeniable that it was because Qingyangzi accepted Feng Shao as his eldest disciple that Taiwei Sect was able to obtain its current status, which indirectly achieved the improvement of Taiwei Sect's status.

It’s a mixed bag!

After Qing Yangzi's funeral, Feng Shao stayed in Taiwei Sect for another three days, and then returned to Xincheng with Lin Xiaoran and others.

When Feng Shao returned to the new city, the workers who had a good year had already returned to the new city. Not only that, they also brought more labor to participate in the construction of the new city. After all, from the perspective of treatment, the remuneration here is much more generous than in other places.

During this period, Bai Shuanghua took on most of the command work and was so busy that she almost had no time to rest. After waiting for Feng Shao to come back, Bai Shuanghua immediately ran forward and complained to Feng Shao: "Master, you are finally back! Do you know how I have been spending these days? I don't even have time to sleep!"

Feng Shao patted her shoulder sympathetically: "Thank you for your hard work. But you should understand my intention, right?"

Bai Shuanghua's face suddenly froze: "Master, please don't scare me..."

Feng Shao shrugged: "How can you say I'm scared? Shuanghua, I've noticed a long time ago that you have a talent for management. With you here, I feel very relieved..."

"So you plan to just leave all the work to me?" Bai Shuanghua opened his eyes wide, a look of disbelief on his face.

Feng Shao said with a smile: "The more capable you are, the more work you should do! Since you are doing well in this position, why don't you continue to do it?"

Bai Shuanghua: “…”

I wonder if it’s too late for me to betray my master now?

Fortunately, Feng Shao then said: "However, considering that you really can't handle it alone, I will arrange some people to assist you. Regarding the construction of the new city, I have drawn a blueprint for you, and you just need to follow it step by step. As for the details, you can discuss it yourself. Hold a small meeting every night to discuss the specific construction plan. In addition, you must also learn to delegate power and not take charge of everything..."

Feng Shao passed on his management experience to Bai Shuanghua, who was so confused that she quickly grabbed Feng Shao's arm and said with a sullen face, "Master, it's not that I don't want to shoulder this responsibility, it's just that my ability is limited! If this continues, I'm afraid I'll die suddenly!"

Feng Shao scratched his head, and suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to hand over the burden to Bai Shuanghua. But Bai Shuanghua was a management talent that he was optimistic about, and he did not want to let her go so easily. After thinking about it, Feng Shao said: "In this case, you should follow me for a while and learn how I manage!"

After all, oral teaching is not as good as teaching by example. Feng Shao simply let Bai Shuanghua start as a "secretary" to learn more about management, and then gradually transfer the power. This may be more effective.

Luo Qiushuang looked at this scene and couldn't help but laughed. Luo Qiushuang also participated in the Taiwei Mountain rescue operation this time. However, due to her limited strength, she mostly followed the large group and had no chance to show her face. However, even so, she also gained a lot of valuable combat experience and her strength has been further improved.

After returning, Luo Qiushuang originally planned to share her cultivation experience with Bai Shuanghua, but unexpectedly, she saw this scene, which made her secretly laugh in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Feng Shao added, "By the way, Qiu Shuang, you too, follow me and Shuang Hua to learn more management experience. There will be many things in the future that will require you to share the burden with me!"

Luo Qiushuang: “…”

This time, it was Bai Shuanghua who laughed secretly.

For a period of time afterwards, Feng Shao continued to lead everyone to build the new city step by step, solving difficulties and problems one after another. Luo Qiushuang and Bai Shuanghua also learned a lot of management experience through this opportunity and gradually took on the main responsibility.

But while Feng Shao and others were busy building the city, Lin Xiaoran and Feng Lingxue became bored.

After all, Lin Xiaoran was a young girl, and she couldn't calm down. Apart from the necessary practice, she had basically nothing to do every day. Feng Shao was busy building the city, and she didn't want to disturb him, so she didn't know what to do every day.

As for Feng Lingxue, her motivation for cultivation came from her obsession with revenge for her brother. Now that her revenge was taken, she felt a little empty inside, as if she could not find the motivation to cultivate. Her daily cultivation was just like a chore. If it were not for Lin Xiaoran's supervision, she would not even remember to cultivate.

Perhaps due to the same boredom, the two girls, one big and one small, became the two most idle people in the entire new city. People often saw them sitting on the steps, resting their chins on their hands, looking at the sky and sighing.

"Oh!" Lin Xiaoran sighed.

"Oh!" Feng Lingxue also sighed.

Everyone: “…”

Are these two people so bored that they are about to sprout roots from the ground?

Not long after, Feng Shao also learned about the abnormality of the two. He couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, feeling quite helpless.

After all, he personally raised a group of junior brothers and sisters, and watched them grow from children to young adults. He was very familiar with some of the changes in the process of growth.

It was obvious that Lin Xiaoran and Feng Lingxue were in adolescence and were eager to be noticed by everyone. However, since everyone was busy, they naturally couldn't take care of these two people. They were also very sensible and didn't want to cause trouble for everyone. They were bored and could only use this method to relieve their loneliness.

Lin Xiaoran was fine, he was almost sixteen years old, and his puberty was almost over. Feng Lingxue was not only in adolescence, but also in a rebellious period. It was good that Feng Lingxue didn't run away from home, Feng Shao really didn't expect her to mature on her own.

So, raising children is really the most troublesome thing in the world.

Just when Feng Shao was thinking about how to help the two of them adjust their mood, Xiao Ruoyao's letter suddenly arrived. But to Feng Shao's surprise, Xiao Ruoyao's letter was written to him, not Lin Xiaoran.

After reading the contents of the letter, Feng Shao immediately understood what Xiao Ruoyao meant and a smile appeared on his face.

Now there is a solution!
