When he arrived at the door of his house, Feng Shao couldn't help but be slightly startled.

A young girl was standing at the door, looking at him from a distance.

Feng Shao stepped forward, and before he could speak, the girl said, "Brother Feng, don't worry! I will take good care of my sister-in-law while you are away."

Feng Shao nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

This girl is Lu Qingyuan, a disciple from the third branch of Taiwei Sect.

Speaking of which, in the past year, Lu Qingyuan's presence has become less and less. In Feng Shao's impression, Lu Qingyuan seems to have been concentrating on work. No matter what she is assigned, she will always do her best to do it well. Apart from that, she hardly has any additional communication with Feng Shao.

It was also beyond Feng Shao's expectation that Lu Qingyuan would be waiting for him at the door.

Lu Qingyuan lowered his head and was silent for a while before he spoke: "Senior Brother Feng, I've always wanted to apologize to you, but I just couldn't find the opportunity..."

Feng Shao asked doubtfully: "Apologize? Apologize for what?"

Lu Qingyuan said bitterly, "Of course it's because of Ye Chen. Junior sister didn't know how to judge people and protected the traitor, which caused the sect to suffer. Many brothers and sisters also suffered misfortune because of this. Senior Brother Feng even left the sect because of this. Junior sister feels ashamed, but she doesn't know how to explain to Senior Brother."

Feng Shao laughed: "Junior Sister Lu, you are wrong."

Lu Qingyuan raised her head with a puzzled look.

Feng Shao said frankly: "To be honest, I was a little angry when you first protected Ye Chen. But I was not angry about you protecting Ye Chen, but about you not being able to distinguish right from wrong, loyalty from treachery. But no one is perfect. It is the greatest virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them. So after you knew your mistakes and repented, I was no longer angry with you."

Lu Qingyuan looked embarrassed: "But Senior Brother Feng doesn't blame me, but I can't help but blame myself."

Feng Shao shook his head and said, "Junior Sister Lu, you have reached a dead end. Ye Chen is just like that. Some things are bound to happen regardless of you. You don't have to take the blame for other people's mistakes, because everyone has to pay for their own mistakes."

At this point, Feng Shao said with emotion: "I watched you all grow up. In my eyes, you are still those children who went up the mountain back then. Over the years, I have led you to practice, travel, and develop Taiwei Sect step by step with you. I am both your senior brother and your parent. I taught you everything. If you make a mistake, it is ultimately my fault. So it is impossible for me to blame you forever."

Lu Qingyuan's eyes suddenly turned red: "Senior Brother Feng..."

Feng Shao smiled and said, "I know you have a knot in your heart and don't know how to get rid of it. But whether you can take this step depends on you. You are willing to come and admit your mistakes to me today. This is your progress, and I am very pleased. But I hope you can understand that my brother is not so narrow-minded and will not always hate you because of the past. You are not a bad person by nature, but you were deceived by the villain for a while. As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are a good child."

Lu Qingyuan burst out laughing: "Brother, are you still treating us like children?"

Feng Shao smiled and said, "I brought you all up and taught you all by myself. To me, aren't you just my children?"

Lu Qingyuan finally understood why Feng Shao could always tolerate them with such a broad mind. Even if they made mistakes, Feng Shao would not blame them too much.

Feng Shao doesn't care what mistakes they made, but their character and cognitive ability. Feng Shao believes that no one in this world is immune to making mistakes. Making mistakes is not terrible, but making the same mistake over and over again without repentance is terrible.

Lu Qingyuan knew her mistakes and could correct them, so Feng Shao was willing to forgive her. But people like Ye Chen were selfish in nature, so he would never think that he was wrong, and it was impossible for him to repent after making a mistake, so Feng Shao would never forgive such people.

In the world of cultivation, some people think that qualifications are the most important, while others think that character is the most important. Feng Shao belongs to the latter. In his opinion, if one's character is not good, the better the qualifications, the greater the harm. If one only pays attention to qualifications but ignores the cultivation of character, it is tantamount to raising a tiger to harm oneself.

In addition, Feng Shao was willing to forgive Lu Qingyuan generously because of his position and responsibilities in the sect. He played the role of a brother and a father, and it was his responsibility to discipline his junior brothers and sisters. Therefore, he could not easily judge the faults of his junior brothers and sisters like an iron-faced judge, but could only try his best to get them on the right path like an old father.

Although it was a bit tiring to do this, Feng Shao felt gratified from the bottom of his heart when he saw these junior brothers and sisters growing up under his guidance.

After Feng Shao's counseling, Lu Qingyuan finally let go of her worries. She smiled and said to Feng Shao, "Brother Feng, I'm beginning to envy your future child. With a father like you, your child will surely become a great man in the future."

Feng Shao smiled and said, "I don't expect him to become a big shot in the future, as long as he can become a person with a clear conscience!"

Unconsciously, the two of them walked to the city gate. Deng Jingyun had already been waiting here. Seeing the two of them, Deng Jingyun walked forward and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, why are you so quiet before leaving? Aren't you going to say goodbye to everyone?"

Feng Shao shook his head and said, "What's there to say goodbye to? I'll be back soon anyway, there's no need to act like a little girl."

Deng Jingyun laughed, "That's right! A grown man should be so carefree!"

Feng Shao rolled his eyes at him. Am I being carefree? I just don't want to feel sad because of the separation. Can you, a single guy, understand this feeling?

He took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Lu Qingyuan, "Junior Sister Lu, you can go back now! I've troubled you to take care of Ran'er and the baby in her belly while I'm away!"

Lu Qingyuan nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, Senior Brother, I will do my best to protect Senior Sister-in-law!"

Feng Shao took out a small spiritual boat from his storage ring. This spiritual boat can accommodate up to five people. Although it is small in size, it is fast and suitable for long-distance travel. Feng Shao recited the spell to expand the spiritual boat to its original size, then stepped onto the spiritual boat and said to Deng Jingyun, "Brother Deng, do you want to go by yourself or take my spiritual boat?"

Deng Jingyun smiled and said, "I heard that this Feiyun Boat is a magical instrument from Yunjian Pavilion. I have heard of its fame for a long time. Since I have the opportunity to ride it today, how can I miss it? Naturally, I will go with Brother Feng!"

Feng Shao nodded: "Then come up!"

After Deng Jingyun stepped onto the spirit boat, Feng Shao waved to Lu Qingyuan and steered the spirit boat into the sky.

Lu Qingyuan stood where she was, watching the spirit boat leave.

The ruins of Qiankun Palace are located in Zhongzhou and appear once every hundred years. Every time they appear, they cause a great stir in the Upper Domain. In the eyes of many people, Qiankun Palace is both a dangerous place and an opportunity. If you can go inside and take a look, you may be able to get a supreme opportunity.

Therefore, although Qiankun Palace is ranked third among the ten forbidden areas, many people still flock to it.

Before September 20th, many factions had heard the news and headed to the towns around the Qiankun Palace ruins to prepare to enter the Qiankun Palace in advance. Therefore, in the past few days, several towns around the area welcomed cultivators from all over the Upper Domain.

Among these cultivators, there were geniuses from the sects and free-spirited independent cultivators. All the forces tacitly sent out disciples who were good but not the best. The reason was that the trip to Qiankun Palace was too dangerous. The most outstanding geniuses were their treasures and must not be harmed in the slightest. As for those of lower rank, they could be sent out to try their luck.

Although it would be sad to see the loss, it is better than having the most outstanding disciple die in it.

In addition, in order to increase the chances of survival of the sect's genius, they also assigned a few to dozens of ordinary disciples to assist them. To put it nicely, these disciples were followers who did odd jobs; to put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder used to explore the way.

In order to make these disciples willingly serve as cannon fodder for the sect... no, it should be said that they would serve the sect with their lives, the sect promised a lot of benefits. Some of them have been fulfilled in advance, and some are just empty promises. Anyway, they are unlikely to come back alive, so it doesn't hurt to write some empty promises. As for the benefits that were fulfilled in advance, compared with the risks of this trip, they are completely insignificant.

As we all know, there are realm restrictions for entering the Qiankun Palace Ruins. The cultivators who can enter cannot exceed the highest level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Therefore, most of the cultivators who come here are at this level. Of course, there are some in the Golden Core Realm or even the Innate Realm, but the proportion is much lower.

Among these low-level cultivators, there is one person who is particularly famous. This person is the former Holy Son of Ziqing Holy Land, Tang Fei.

Tang Fei was originally a genius of the Purple Purity Holy Land. He was promoted to the Golden Core Realm when he was less than 18 years old. He was a true genius. In the early years, Tang Fei made great contributions to the Purple Purity Holy Land and fought for it in conflicts with various parties. With his powerful strength, he led a group of fellow apprentices and sisters to be invincible.

But three years ago, Tang Fei was attacked by both the Xuanlei Sect and the Chongyang Sword Sect in a battle. Although he managed to escape, his foundation was damaged. After that, his original level of transformation of the spirit realm fell all the way, and soon he fell to the innate realm. And his position as the son of God was also deprived.

Many people couldn't help but feel sorry for Tang Fei when they talked about him, but some people who knew the inside story kept silent about it.

Because this also involves the power struggle within the Ziqing Holy Land.
