Hearing the three words "Three Lives Tower", Xiao Ruoyao's face couldn't help but become solemn.

She said slowly: "The Sansheng Tower is one of the ten forbidden areas. It is not an easy place to go. Do you really want to go there?"

Feng Shao nodded and said seriously: "The Sansheng Tower is very special to this junior, so we must go there this time."

Xiao Ruoyao was silent for a while, then said, "Logically, I should have stopped you from going. You are Ran'er's fiancé, but if you go, it will be dangerous. I don't want Ran'er to be forced to be a widow before she even gets married."

Feng Shao said confidently: "Please rest assured, Aunt Xiao, I have a way to enter the Sansheng Tower. Although it cannot be guaranteed to be completely safe, as long as you are careful, it will not be a problem to get out safely."

Xiao Ruoyao looked at Feng Shao, and after a long while, she sighed and said, "If that's the case, then go ahead. I originally wanted to let Ran'er come over to see you, but now it seems that I'd better forget it."

Lin Xiaoran was also aware of the names of the ten forbidden areas. Given Lin Xiaoran's personality, if he knew that Feng Shao was going to the Sansheng Tower, he would definitely do everything he could to stop Feng Shao from going there. In that case, it would be better not to tell Lin Xiaoran, so that he wouldn't worry for nothing.

After hearing what Xiao Ruoyao said, Feng Shao also understood, so he stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave now. I will leave Xue'er to Aunt Xiao's care."

"Don't worry!"

Feng Shao looked down at Feng Lingxue who was holding onto his clothes with a reluctant look on her face, and said with a smile: "Xue'er, you must listen to Aunt Xiao here and don't be willful, understand?"

Feng Lingxue pursed her lips and whispered, "Disciple knows."

Feng Shao nodded, bowed to Xiao Ruoyao, then turned and left.

After Feng Shao left, Feng Lingxue still looked at the direction Feng Shao left from afar, refusing to look away for a long time.

Xiao Ruoyao stepped forward, put her arm around Feng Lingxue's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your master never fights a battle he is not sure of. Since he is sure that he can escape from the Sansheng Tower unscathed, then he will definitely be fine."

Feng Lingxue asked with a worried look on her face: "Aunt Xiao, is the Sansheng Tower very dangerous?"

Xiao Ruoyao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, no one knows whether it is dangerous or not. It is just said that few people who enter the Sansheng Tower can come back."

Feng Lingxue was horrified: "What will happen to Master?"

Xiao Ruoyao laughed, "You don't have to worry about your master. If he says it's okay, then it must be okay. Instead of worrying about your master, you should concentrate on learning swordsmanship from me. When your master comes back, show him your skills and surprise him!"

At the same time, Lin Xiaoran, who was practicing swordplay in the back hills of Piaomiao Peak, looked unconsciously in the direction where Feng Shao left, and murmured, "Why do I feel like... I seem to have missed something?"

——————————

Feng Shao's departure was like a huge earthquake to the Taiwei Sect. Even three days later, many disciples were still unable to recover and felt that what happened that day was just like a dream.

To them, Senior Brother Shengzi, who was like a brother and a father, actually just gave up like that? Just abandoned them, his fellow brothers and sisters, and left the sect?

Before that day, no matter who said that Feng Shao would leave the sect one day, no one would believe it. Because in their opinion, Feng Shao had given too much to this sect and everyone in it. To everyone, he was like the spiritual leader of Taiwei Sect, not just the head disciple. So Feng Shao's behavior was unacceptable to many people.

But what was even more unacceptable to them was the attitude of the leader Qing Yangzi.

Feng Shao's act of leaving the sect naturally aroused Qing Yangzi's anger. He first severely reprimanded Feng Shao in front of all the disciples, and then announced that Feng Shao would be expelled from the sect. He even asked his disciples that if they met Feng Shao in the future, they should not regard him as a member of Taiwei Sect, but as an enemy, and take him down to abolish his cultivation.

In response to Qingyangzi's words, everyone present remained silent except Lingxuzi who immediately said that it should be so.

Faced with the dead silence of his disciples, Qingyangzi became even angrier. After snorting heavily, he turned back to the inner hall.

For a period of time afterwards, the Taiwei Sect fell into a strange calm.

The disciples still meditated and practiced swordplay, but they didn't communicate with each other much. Even if they did communicate, they would try to avoid the topic of "Feng Shao" so as not to upset the headmaster. But even so, they would always talk about how harmonious the sect was when Feng Shao was still there, how the brothers and sisters loved each other, and how they got solutions through Feng Shao when they encountered difficulties in cultivation.

They had long been accustomed to Feng Shao helping them solve all their problems. Now that this person was missing, they felt empty in their hearts and had no motivation to do anything.

In sharp contrast to the dejection and frustration of the other disciples were Ling Xuzi and Ye Chen.

Ling Xuzi values ​​Ye Chen's luck and believes that if Taiwei Sect wants to flourish in the future, it must be led by Ye Chen. Therefore, he believes that Feng Shao, the saint of the sect, is at most a whetstone for Ye Chen. Now that Feng Shao is gone, it is indeed a pity, but there are whetstones everywhere, even if it is not Feng Shao, someone else can be replaced. For example, Gao Yi, the second disciple of Changmen, Cao Guang, the second branch disciple, and even Han Biyun, the third branch disciple, are also suitable.

As for the sect’s holy son, he was just left there for Ye Chen.

And what about Ye Chen? After hearing the news, he turned over on the spot to celebrate.

In his opinion, Feng Shao was the only one who could surpass him in the entire Taiwei Sect. Now that Feng Shao was gone, wouldn't the position of the Holy Son of Taiwei Sect be his sooner or later? After he became the Holy Son, wouldn't all the resources in the sect be at his disposal?

Although he felt a little unhappy about being put in solitary confinement, it was still worth it for him to be able to drive Feng Shao away.

So during the past few days, Ye Chen, who was in solitary confinement, neither faced the wall nor reflected on his mistakes. All he was thinking about was how to establish his own prestige among the people after he got out, completely eliminate Feng Shao's influence, and then turn Taiwei Sect into his own one-man show. Then, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted?

Ye Chen had a beautiful idea and a good plan, and he couldn't help drooling even when he was sleeping.

Apart from these, the one with the most complicated emotions might be the Sect Leader Qing Yangzi.

Qingyangzi saw Feng Shao's contribution to the sect, and admitted that without Feng Shao's contribution, Taiwei Sect would not be what it is today.

Feng Shao's decision to leave the sect was more of a slap in his face than a sign of dissatisfaction with him. This made him angry and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, so he announced such a decision in front of everyone in anger.

But in Qingyangzi's mind, Feng Shao was still the most suitable candidate for the next leader. The only problem was that Feng Shao's prestige in the sect was too high, even overshadowing him as the leader, which was something he could not tolerate.

So Qing Yangzi's mood was very complicated. He couldn't even tell whether he was more angry or more regretful.

However, it was useless to think about it now. The most urgent task at the moment was to get Taiwei Sect rid of the influence of Feng Shao's departure from the sect.

If this matter was handed over to Feng Shao, he would have many ways to easily resolve it. But after thinking for a long time, the only solution Qing Yangzi came up with was to not allow the sect disciples to discuss Feng Shao.

It is forbidden to discuss the contributions Feng Shao has made to the sect, it is forbidden to discuss the anxiety that Feng Shao brought to everyone after leaving the sect, and it is even forbidden to mention the name "Feng Shao".

Not long after Qing Yangzi issued this ban, the disciples saw Qin Zhao angrily rushing into the master's residence. No one knew what the two said in the room, but in the end, Qin Zhao slammed the door and left angrily, and then Qing Yangzi ordered the disciples to clean up the broken things in the room.

Du Yuanxi was also in a complicated mood. However, unlike others, she felt more guilty towards Feng Shao. After all, the center of the conflict was the disciple she accepted from the mountain. If she had not accepted Ye Chen as a disciple, then Taiwei Sect would still be a happy scene now, instead of like it is now.

So she felt that she was half responsible for Feng Shao's leaving the sect.

Among the three branches, except for Du Yuanxi, her three female disciples have been unable to sleep or eat these days. Although there is no rift between the sisters, they have fallen into an eerie calm because of this incident.

Whether it is Feng Shao or Ye Chen, they seem to have become taboo words.

But although the surface was calm, the heart was not at peace. In the past few days, all the disciples of Taiwei Sect could only feel upset when they were meditating, and they could not enter into a state of concentration at all. Even if they forced themselves to enter into a state of concentration, they would almost go astray because of their disturbed mentality.

In this eerie silence, some people took the lead in making changes.

The disciples of the two branches collectively bid farewell to Qin Zhao and decided to leave the sect!
