After bidding farewell to several disciples from the second branch who were guarding Linglong Pavilion, Feng Shao took Feng Lingxue and flew to Piaomiao Peak on his sword.
However, those disciples from the second branch could never have imagined that Feng Shao at this time was no longer their Saint Son brother.
Piaomiao Peak is more than a thousand miles away from Liyang City. Feng Shao had to use his true energy to protect Feng Lingxue because he had to bring someone with him, so his speed was reduced a lot. Therefore, the two flew for three full days.
During these three days, Feng Lingxue gradually recovered from the pain of losing her loved ones, and she smiled more often when communicating with Feng Shao, which made Feng Shao feel relieved.
Although hatred can be a driving force for a person to strive for success, if one is too immersed in hatred, it will be detrimental to one's cultivation. Feng Shao has been trying hard to enlighten the little girl these days, and he is very happy to see that the little girl is gradually getting rid of hatred and pain.
Three days later, Piaomiao Peak, Xiaoyao Hall.
Xiaoyao Hall is the chief among the thirteen halls under Yunjian Pavilion, but they are on the same level. Another chief among the thirteen halls is Lengyue Hall, whose head is Leng Lingyue. Xiao Ruoyao, the head of Xiaoyao Hall, specializes in swordsmanship and is known as the "Xiaoyao Fairy"; while Leng Lingyue, the head of Lengyue Hall, specializes in knife skills and is known as the "Lengyue Fairy". These two are collectively known as the "Yunjian Pavilion Twins" and are the right-hand men of Yunjian Pavilion head Lin Fengtian.
"Fairy Cold Moon" Leng Lingyue is Lin Fengtian's adopted sister, while "Fairy Free and Easy" Xiao Ruoyao is Lin Fengtian's first wife. Xiao Ruoyao and Lin Fengtian have a daughter named Lin Xiaoran, who is Feng Shao's fiancée.
Feng Shao came this time to pay a visit to Xiao Ruoyao, the head of Xiaoyao Hall, who is also his future mother-in-law.
Xiao Ruoyao's daughter is already fifteen years old this year, but Xiao Ruoyao herself looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she doesn't look like the mother of a fifteen-year-old girl at all. After hearing the news that Feng Shao was coming to visit her, she immediately met the future son-in-law in the reception room.
Looking at Xiao Ruoyao's pretty face that seemed to be completely unaffected by the years, Feng Shao couldn't help but sigh at the power of cultivation. Just for the effect of eternal youth, it's no wonder so many people are trying their best to cultivate immortality.
Xiao Ruoyao first looked Feng Shao up and down with her beautiful eyes, and then said with a smile: "Feng Shao, I remember the last time you came to my Xiaoyao Hall was seven years ago! Seven years have passed, and I didn't expect that your appearance has not changed at all."
Feng Shao laughed dryly and said, "Aunt Xiao, please stop making fun of the younger generation. In terms of youthful looks, who in the world can compare to you? Judging from your appearance alone, I'm afraid someone would think you are Ran'er's sister."
Xiao Ruoyao covered her mouth and smiled: "You little guy, you are quite sweet. By the way, you came to me today, you didn't come here to flatter me, did you?"
Feng Shao heard this and said seriously: "Aunt Xiao, I have something to ask of you."
Xiao Ruoyao nodded: "You go ahead."
Feng Shao patted Feng Lingxue, who was sitting beside him and felt a little awkward, and said, "This little girl is my new disciple. She has no relatives anymore, and has nowhere to go except by my side. But I need to go on a long journey recently, so I hope Aunt Xiao can take care of her for me."
Xiao Ruoyao cast her eyes on Feng Lingxue, and her eyes lit up the next moment. She walked up quickly, first looked Feng Lingxue up and down, and then pinched Feng Lingxue's arms and shoulders. Although she tried her best to hold back, Feng Lingxue still felt the pain. But before coming here, Feng Shao had repeatedly told her not to be disrespectful in front of Xiao Ruoyao, so Feng Lingxue gritted her teeth and endured it.
But after being pinched by Xiao Ruoyao, Feng Lingxue's eyes were already filled with tears due to the pain, and she looked like she was about to cry at any time.
It took a lot of effort to wait for Xiao Ruoyao to stop, but before Feng Lingxue could breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao Ruoyao picked up her wrist again and pressed two fingers on her pulse. Then, Feng Lingxue felt a stream of true energy flowing into her body along her meridians, and after a while, it circulated in her body. Xiao Ruoyao's true energy was many times greater than Feng Lingxue's own true energy. Feng Lingxue only felt a pain in her body, and her meridians seemed to be burst by Xiao Ruoyao's true energy.
After a long while, Xiao Ruoyao withdrew her hand and looked at Feng Shao in surprise: "Where did you pick up this little girl? With this kind of bones, she is really a natural material for sword cultivation. If she is guided, I am afraid that her achievements will not be inferior to mine in time!"
Feng Shao already knew that Feng Lingxue had extraordinary talent. After all, that extremely popular luck was no joke. But even so, he did not expect Xiao Ruoyao to give such a high evaluation, and he was also very surprised.
After being surprised, Feng Shao was also sincerely happy for Feng Lingxue.
He smiled and said, "I met this little girl by chance in Liyang City. I felt that we were destined to be together, and she asked for it, so I accepted her as my apprentice. But Aunt Xiao, you know that I am a man after all, and there are some things that are not suitable for me to teach personally, so I can only ask Aunt Xiao for help."
Xiao Ruoyao nodded in understanding: "Indeed, you are a very thoughtful master."
Normally, when monks recruit disciples, they only recruit males and females. This is not an old-fashioned rule, but some things that need to be taught are not suitable for the opposite sex. For example, to remember the meridian acupoints, you must point and point on the body so that people can really remember. If it is acupoints such as Hegu and Baihui on the hands or head and neck, it is fine, but if you touch the acupoints in sensitive parts such as Tanzhong and Qihai, you will be suspected of hooliganism, not to mention the unspeakable acupoints such as ** and Qimen, which can only be touched between husband and wife.
Although Feng Lingxue was a little girl who had just started to develop, she was still a girl. Feng Shao had wanted to introduce her to the Third Branch because of this consideration.
Xiao Ruoyao once again cast her gaze towards Feng Lingxue, and suddenly sighed, muttering, "What a pity."
Feng Shao asked in confusion: "What a pity?"
Xiao Ruoyao pretended to be regretful and said, "It's a pity that such a good seedling was snatched away by you. If I had discovered it earlier, you wouldn't have had any chance of survival!"
Feng Shao: “…”
Feng Lingxue hugged Feng Shao's arm and said softly but firmly: "I only want Master to be my Master!"
Feng Lingxue's words were a bit awkward, and Xiao Ruoyao couldn't help but burst out laughing. She gently patted Feng Lingxue's head and asked, "Little girl, are you willing to learn swordsmanship from me?"
Feng Lingxue subconsciously cast her gaze towards Feng Shao, and when she saw Feng Shao nod, she said, "I do!"
But then, Feng Lingxue asked weakly: "Then do I need to take you as my master?"
Xiao Ruoyao glanced at Feng Shao and shook her head, "No need. Your master is my future son-in-law, so I certainly won't compete with my family for an apprentice. Besides, most of your master's swordsmanship was taught by me, I'm just teaching it to you on behalf of your master."
Feng Lingxue nodded as if she understood, and then asked, "You taught me the swordsmanship of my master, so you are my master?"
"I'm not your master's master, so you don't need to call me Grandmaster." At this point, Xiao Ruoyao couldn't help but mutter, "What should I call my son-in-law's apprentice?"
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Ruoyao still couldn't think of a suitable name, so she simply waved her hand and said, "Anyway, you are not much younger than Ran'er, so just call me Aunt Xiao from now on!"
Feng Lingxue nodded and called softly, "Aunt Xiao!"
After finishing talking about Feng Lingxue, Xiao Ruoyao sat back in her chair, looked at Feng Shao, and said seriously: "Feng Shao, there are some important things you didn't tell me, right?"
Feng Shao was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Aunt Xiao."
Xiao Ruoyao snorted coldly, "Although I am obsessed with studying swordsmanship, I am not ignorant of worldly affairs. You accepted a disciple, but did not leave her in Taiwei Mountain, but brought her to me. Don't say that you wanted her to learn swordsmanship from me. If I can teach her, you can naturally teach her too. I'm afraid the real reason is that something happened in Taiwei Mountain, right?"
Feng Shao sighed and told Xiao Ruoyao everything that happened.
The more Xiao Ruoyao listened, the angrier she became. Finally, she couldn't help but slammed the table and said angrily, "Has Qing Yangzi lived like a dog all these years? For a mere Ye Chen, he actually ignored you, the greatest contributor to Taiwei Sect! If it were me, a person like Ye Chen, abolishing his cultivation would be considered a light punishment! In my opinion, he should be chopped off his limbs and thrown into the sea of revengeful spirits to feed the resentful spirits!"
Don't be fooled by Xiao Ruoyao's cute and harmless appearance. In fact, she was a ruthless person. Xiaoyao Hall already existed before the establishment of Yunjian Pavilion, and the name of "Xiaoyao Fairy" Xiao Ruoyao was well-known throughout the whole East Continent. Her most famous battle record was that she defeated 17 masters of Chongyang Sword Sect alone on the Broken Dragon Platform, including the most famous Saint Son of Chongyang Sword Sect, Yang Shaoling. The name of "Xiaoyao Fairy" also began to shock the world at that moment.
Later, Xiao Ruoyao married Lin Fengtian and gave birth to a daughter, Lin Xiaoran. After that, she cultivated herself and devoted herself to raising her daughter. Only then did the legend of Xiao Ruoyao gradually disappear in Dongzhou. If not for this, Xiao Ruoyao would have been a female devil that everyone feared.
But at this moment, Qing Yangzi's actions made Xiao Ruoyao feel murderous for the first time in a long time.
Feng Shao said calmly, "Aunt Xiao, there's no need to be angry. If we're compatible, stay. If not, leave. Since he wants to protect Ye Chen, I'll leave the sect. It's just right to leave Ye Chen to Xue'er, so that Xue'er won't have a demon in her heart because of Ye Chen in the future."
Xiao Ruoyao looked at Feng Shao with admiration in her eyes: "Well said, with your ability, there is no place in the world you cannot go. Whether it is Xiaoyao Hall or Yunjian Pavilion, you are welcome to join us!"
Feng Shao smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Xiao for the invitation, but I have other ambitions. Although it may be a little difficult, I still want to give it a try."
Xiao Ruoyao knew that Feng Shao was a man with lofty ambitions and was quite capable, but he had been committed to developing the Taiwei Sect in the past, so his reputation was not well-known. Now that he had left the Taiwei Sect, wasn't it a new life for Feng Shao?
Xiao Ruoyao smiled and nodded, saying: "In this case, I can only wish you to realize your ambitions as soon as possible. In addition, if you need help, Yunjian Pavilion will also strongly support you!"
"Thank you, Aunt Xiao."
"By the way, what are your plans next?" Xiao Ruoyao asked.
Feng Shao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am going to the Sansheng Pagoda."
