Flying in the sky with a sword, the cold wind was blowing, but Feng Shao felt very calm.

“Master…”

The little girl who had been buried in Feng Shao's arms suddenly raised her head and asked timidly: "Master, did your disciple...did your disciple cause you any trouble?"

Feng Shao couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you say that?"

The little girl lowered her head and whispered, "I heard... I heard that Master seems to have a very high status in the sect, and many people listen to Master. There must be many people in the sect who are reluctant to let Master go, right? But Master left the sect because of his disciples, disciples... disciples..."

Having said this, the little girl couldn't continue.

Feng Shao stroked the little girl's head and said with a smile: "Master left Taiwei Sect partly because of you, but not all of it."

“But if Master hadn’t stood up for his disciple, he wouldn’t have to leave the sect at all, right?” the little girl asked.

Feng Shao sighed and said, "In life, there are things that one should not do and things that one must do. Ye Chen's behavior has crossed my bottom line, so in Taiwei Sect, it's either him or me. Since the sect has decided to protect Ye Chen, I will naturally not stay any longer."

"But wouldn't Master be reluctant to let go?"

"It's true that I'm a little reluctant, but I don't want to abandon my bottom line even more." Feng Shao said solemnly, "Little girl, this is the first lesson that your master will teach you. Your master hopes that no matter what level you reach in the future, you must always remember that before practicing Taoism, the most important thing is to cultivate your mind. We practice not to be brave and fierce, nor to look down on the world, but to be able to do what we want and must do when there is something we want to do. Being free and at ease does not mean doing whatever you want. Ye Chen has already entered the devil's way, and he will definitely go astray in the future. Your master does not want you to be like him one day in the future."

The little girl nodded, not quite understanding.

Seeing the little girl still blaming herself, Feng Shao laughed: "Little girl, do you think it's pitiful that your master has left Taiwei Sect?"

Xiao Ya scratched her head, not knowing how to respond to Feng Shao's words. She did feel that her master's situation was a bit pitiful. After all, the master would actually give up her disciple for a disciple from the third branch, not to mention that this disciple had made so many contributions to the sect. But she really couldn't say this out loud, after all, it was quite hurtful to say it out loud.

Feng Shao smiled brightly, "Little girl, I will teach you a second lesson. Sometimes, a foundation is a kind of wealth, but sometimes it is also a burden, especially when you don't have the final say in it. Although I have worked hard for 30 years to build Taiwei Sect into what it is today, it doesn't mean I want to cling to this foundation. I have been working so hard all along, mainly to repay my gratitude. Now that I have repaid my gratitude, the rest of my time belongs to me."

The little girl looked puzzled: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Feng Shao patted her head and said with a smile: "What I mean is, Master, I am free now! I can do whatever I want and I don't have to consider the interests of the sect anymore!"

The little girl couldn't help but be stunned.

Did the master always think this way? Was Taiwei Sect actually not as important to him as she imagined?

In fact, Feng Shao didn't think that Taiwei Sect was unimportant, but he felt that he had wasted too much time because of Taiwei Sect. He actually always hoped that someone could take over his burden so that he could do something of his own, and this was the fundamental reason why he had been committed to training disciples of the sect.

The position of the Holy Son is really not important to Feng Shao, he doesn't want it at all. To him, the position of the Holy Son is more like a shackle than a throne. Only a greedy and selfish person like Ye Chen would covet this position.

But Feng Shao may not want the position of Holy Son, but he cannot let Ye Chen take it away. This is a matter of dignity.

His plan was to train fellow disciples who could truly shoulder the responsibility, and then hand over the position of the Holy Son to him in a dignified manner. As for himself, he could choose to stay in the sect or travel. After all, the world was so big, if he didn't go out and see more, wouldn't it be a waste of this life he had traveled through?

So Feng Shao didn't feel depressed about leaving the sect, he just felt a little regretful.

It's a pity that Taiwei Sect did not become what he wanted it to be. It's a pity that a good Taiwei Sect was ruined by two bad apples, Ye Chen and Ling Xuzi. It's a pity that the originally fair and wise master eventually became what he is now.

However, this result was his choice. As for how it will develop in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

But Feng Shao will not let this guy Ye Chen go.

Ye Chen is a son of destiny, with a destiny far beyond that of ordinary people. People with such destiny can advance very quickly in their cultivation. But the little girl wants to kill this beast to avenge the murder of her brother, so Feng Shao plans to beat Ye Chen up every once in a while, until he can't take care of himself and his realm regresses. If there is a chance, it would be best to take away his chance and all his belongings, so that his strength will not grow too fast and the little girl will not be able to take revenge.

Not long after, Feng Shao took the little girl and flew to Liyang City on his sword.

Looking at this familiar city, the little girl had a complicated expression. Although she had only been away for one night, the most important person in this city was no longer there.

This made the little girl very sad, and her hatred for Ye Chen deepened.

Feng Shao patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go to Linglong Pavilion first."

At this time, Linglong Pavilion was being guarded by three disciples from the second branch of Taiwei Sect. These three disciples did not know that Feng Shao had already left Taiwei Sect. When they saw Feng Shao, their eyes lit up and they all saluted and said, "Senior Brother Shengzi!"

No matter when, Feng Shao is the most respected person in their hearts, and this respect is even higher than the head of the sect. After all, for them, the head of the sect is often an existence that is out of reach, but Feng Shao is the real guide who leads them on the path of cultivation.

Facing the three people's salute, Feng Shao waved his hand and said, "Everyone, the purpose of my coming here is to bury the two people who were brutally killed by Ye Chen yesterday. Please hand over the bodies of these two people to me."

At that moment, a disciple nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Brother Shengzi, please follow me."

Although he had left the sect, Feng Shao did not want to say it here. After all, it was a bit troublesome to explain, and these disciples would definitely try their best to persuade him to return to the mountain. He did not like trouble, so he simply skipped the matter. Anyway, after they returned to the mountain, they would naturally know the cause and effect.

Not long after, Feng Shao and the little girl came to an empty room on one side of the courtyard. There were two coffins, one large and one small, in the room. After seeing the two coffins, the little girl couldn't help crying and threw herself on the small coffin and burst into tears.

Feng Shao looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.

From today on, the little girl only has herself as a relative.

After the little girl's crying gradually subsided, Feng Shao said softly: "Little girl, come with me to bury the shopkeeper and your brother!"

The little girl gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.

Under Feng Shao's arrangement, a Feng Shui treasure land was quickly found for the two. After burying the two, the little girl knelt in front of the tombstone and said, "Uncle shopkeeper, Xiaobao, I swear to avenge you with my own hands and cut the people who killed you into pieces to comfort your souls in heaven!"

After saying that, the little girl kowtowed four times.

Afterwards, the little girl kowtowed to Feng Shao three more times and said, "Master, I kowtow to you!"

Feng Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could one perform the apprenticeship ceremony like this? However, considering the little girl's current mood, Feng Shao didn't make a fuss, but nodded and said: "From today on, you will become my official disciple. I am no longer a member of Taiwei Sect, so you are not considered a Taiwei Sect disciple. In addition, your name 'girl' is not suitable, why don't you give you a name! Do you still remember your father's last name?"

The little girl shook her head.

So Feng Shao said: "In that case, you can take my last name."

After thinking for a while, Feng Shao said, "There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, blooming alone in the frost. I know it is not snow because of the subtle fragrance. I hope that you can be like plum blossoms in the future, defying the frost and snow, and not bowing to the cold wind."

The little girl asked, "So the name Master gave me is Fengmei?"

Feng Shao shook his head: "No, it's Feng Lingxue."

Little girl: “…”

Are you kidding me? How could I possibly give my own disciple such a vulgar name as "Feng Mei"? Feng Ling Xue sounds better.

The little girl, oh no, now she should be called Feng Lingxue, kowtowed heavily to Feng Shao and said, "Thank you for the name, Master!"

After Feng Lingxue stood up, Feng Shao said, "Xue'er, I have something else to do during this period, so I will send you to live with a good friend for a while. I will be back in one or two months at the shortest, or three to five months at the longest. Before I come back, you must be obedient and don't cause any trouble."

Feng Lingxue didn't expect that right after the apprenticeship ceremony, her master would go on a long journey, and would be away for several months. When she thought about not seeing him for such a long time, Feng Lingxue couldn't help but pout, looking unhappy.

Feng Shao smiled and patted her head, saying, "That place is a great place that many cultivators dream of! There is a very beautiful aunt there who will teach you advanced swordsmanship. Before I come back, you must learn well from that aunt and don't embarrass me!"

Feng Lingxue asked curiously, "What place are you talking about, Master?"

Feng Shao smiled slightly: "Piao Miao Peak, Xiao Yao Hall."
