Chapter 43 Human Heart



This incident once again caused an uproar in Taiwei Sect!

But what was even more surprising was that Qin Zhao accepted it very calmly and even personally sent them out of the mountain gate!

After the two groups of disciples left, Qing Yangzi, who heard the news, hurried over. Seeing Qin Zhao's indifferent attitude, Qing Yangzi couldn't help but angrily asked, "Why did you let your disciples leave so easily?"

Qin Zhao said calmly: "If people's hearts are scattered, it's useless to keep them. It's better to let them go to a wider world."

Qing Yangzi gnashed his teeth and said, "But do you know that these disciples who left are the backbone of the sect?"

"So what?" Qin Zhao smiled faintly, "Feng Shao is also a pillar of the society. Didn't he just leave when he said he would?"

"That's different!"

"What's the difference? You can ignore your disciples, but I can't ignore my disciples. Even if they want to leave the sect, as their master, I will only wish them to go further."

Qing Yangzi stared at Qin Zhao with his eyes fixed on him: "You are simply crazy."

Qin Zhao laughed loudly and walked away. After walking several dozen meters away, his voice came from afar: "Brother, am I crazy or are you crazy?"

Qing Yangzi looked at Qin Zhao's back with angry eyes, without saying a word.

In fact, the departure of the second branch of disciples was more or less instigated by Qin Zhao.

In his opinion, if Taiwei Sect wants to grow and become stronger, it does not depend on who is more powerful, but on who can better unite the people.

There was no doubt that Feng Shao was this person. Even the vast majority of the disciples in the first, second, and third branches were recruited by Feng Shao.

Now that Feng Shao is gone, many disciples have lost their backbone. Although there are still the headmaster, master and uncle in the sect, everyone knows that Feng Shao was the only one in charge of Taiwei Sect before. After Feng Shao left, they didn't even know what to do.

Instead of letting them continue to be muddle-headed and doing nothing in Taiwei Sect, it is better to let them go. Perhaps there will be a wider world waiting for them.

The collective farewell of the two groups of disciples caused a great earthquake in the entire Taiwei Sect. The disciples of the Longmen and Outer Sects discussed this matter in a panic. Many people even speculated whether the Taiwei Sect was about to disband.

However, everyone could only discuss this matter in private. Although some disciples wanted to follow the example of the second branch of disciples, considering the attitude of their own master, they suppressed this idea.

As for the outer disciples, since most of them were not recruited into the sect by Feng Shao and did not have much contact with Feng Shao, they did not have too many thoughts about this. They just vaguely felt that Taiwei Sect seemed to be changing.

Du Yuanxi and her disciples from the three branches remained silent, neither expressing support nor opposition, as if it was none of their business. As for what they thought in their hearts, only they themselves knew.

When Ling Xuzi learned about this, he was furious. He went straight to Qing Yangzi and said angrily: "Qin Zhao must have been behind this! If Qin Zhao hadn't been behind it, how could so many people leave the sect at the same time? And they are all disciples of the second branch!"

Qing Yangzi glanced at him coldly. Do you need me to say this?

Qin Zhao's attitude actually showed that he was the one who instigated this matter. But Qing Yangzi couldn't understand it. Those people were all his disciples! Just let them go like this, what on earth were you thinking as a master?

But he couldn't say it out loud. After all, this matter was ultimately a conflict between Qing Yangzi and Qin Zhao. If he said it out loud, it would inevitably add fuel to the already unstable situation in the sect.

Therefore, facing Ling Xuzi, Qing Yangzi simply said indifferently: "Since they want to leave the sect, let them go! After all, there are so many disciples in the sect, and there are not many people like them."

Ling Xuzi said angrily: "How can you be the leader of the sect? How can the disciples of the sect just leave? What do they think of Taiwei Sect? Can they come and go as they please?"

Qing Yangzi couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. How dare you say that? Why don't you think about how long you've been away from the sect? Isn't it time to come back now?

If it weren't for the fact that you were of some use, who would care about you?

Seeing Qing Yangzi didn't say anything, Ling Xuzi became even angrier: "Why don't you hurry up and chase those disciples back? If you let them go like this, what if other disciples follow suit?"

Qing Yangzi said impatiently: "Since they want to leave the sect, it proves that their hearts are no longer in the sect! What's the point even if we bring them back? When you left the sect, did you ever think about coming back?"

Ling Xuzi was suddenly speechless.

Afterwards, the two parted unhappily.

After Ling Xuzi left, Qing Yangzi felt restless and went to the Alchemy Pavilion.

In the entire Upper Domain, the strength of any sect must be comprehensively considered. The first thing listed is the sect's skills, after all, the sect's skills determine the upper limit of the cultivator's cultivation. A sect that has skills that can only be cultivated to the Golden Core Realm at most is definitely not as attractive as a sect that has skills that can be cultivated to the Great Purity Realm. Under the skills, the most important are the two abilities of alchemy and casting.

In the past, in Taiwei Sect, it was extremely difficult to gather materials for alchemy and casting, let alone alchemy and casting. Feng Shao felt this, and after taking charge of the sect, he often traveled around Taiwei Sect, specifically looking for independent cultivators with alchemy and casting abilities. Later, no one knew what method Feng Shao used, but he actually managed to trick two people into coming, and these two people were Zhu Yu, the elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, and Song Lian, the elder of the Casting Workshop.

The strength of Taiwei Sect also increased dramatically due to the joining of these two people.

Therefore, Qingyangzi felt that the most urgent task was to stabilize Zhu Yu and Song Lian first and prevent them from leaving the sect. Otherwise, Qingyangzi would not know where to get two more independent cultivators who were good at alchemy and casting.

As soon as he entered the Alchemy Pavilion, Qing Yangzi saw Zhu Yu and Song Lian sitting at a small table drinking together.

Qing Yangzi walked in and said to the two of them with a smile: "Elders Zhu and Song are really in a good mood!"

As he said that, he also sat down at the table. However, there were no empty cups on the table, so Qing Yangzi could only watch the two of them drinking, but he couldn't join in.

Qing Yangzi was just thinking about how to get closer to the two elders, but he heard Zhu Yu say in a sarcastic tone: "Isn't this the head of Qing Yangzi? What brought you here?"

Zhu Yu's tone was very impolite, but Qing Yangzi did not dare to quarrel with Zhu Yu, so he could only laugh dryly and said, "You two are the backbone of my Taiwei Sect, so I should come to visit you."

Zhu Yu asked with a half-smile, "Just the two of us are considered the backbone of Taiwei Sect? Are you kidding, Sect Master?"

Qing Yangzi quickly said in a serious tone: "This is the fact, how dare I speak nonsense? Since the two of you joined, the strength of my Taiwei Sect has increased dramatically, and this is all thanks to the elixirs you two have refined and the magic weapons you have cast!"

Song Lian said calmly, "Master, you are too kind. These are just what we promised to Feng Shao. They are not worth mentioning."

Qing Yangzi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Although Zhu Yu's words were harsh, at least he knew his limits. Song Lian was a man of few words, but right away he mentioned the name that Qing Yangzi didn't want to mention, which made Qing Yangzi quite annoyed.

But he couldn't turn against Song Lian because of this, so he could only force a smile and find a topic to talk about: "By the way, with the Six Yang Spiritual Fire, the two elders are more adept at alchemy and casting, right?"

As soon as the words came out, the two elders Zhu and Song looked at Qing Yangzi with strange faces. Qing Yangzi was startled, and then he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and he immediately wanted to slap himself twice.

Look at you, why do you have to mention the Six Yang Spiritual Fire?

Zhu Yu chuckled and said calmly, "With the Six Yang Spirit Fire, I will be able to refine pills with even more power. This is all thanks to Feng Shao who traveled thousands of miles to find the Six Yang Spirit Fire. Feng Shao originally planned to bring the Bi Fang Flame back, but it was stolen by someone. Oh, by the way, the one who stole the Bi Fang Flame was the third disciple that the master recently took a fancy to!"

Zhu Yu's words were heart-wrenching, and Qing Yangzi felt uncomfortable. He was so angry that he wanted to grab the other person's collar and yelled, "What do you know? Do you know how much pressure I bear as the head of the sect? Do you know that as long as Feng Shao is here, I am just a decoration as the head of the sect?"

But he couldn't say these words out loud, and Qingyangzi almost fell sick from holding it in.

Song Lian took a sip of wine and said calmly: "Master, my brother has been dealing with alchemy all his life and is not very good at talking to people. Please don't be offended."

Qing Yangzi could only say: "Elder Song, you are too kind."

Then, the three of them fell into an eerie silence.

Zhu Yu and Song Lian were drinking their own wine, and they didn't bother to entertain Qing Yangzi, which made Qing Yangzi feel redundant. He wanted to find some topics to talk about so as to get closer to the two of them, but after racking his brains, he found that he had nothing in common with them, which made him extremely depressed.

After a long while, he could only bow to the two of them and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't bother you here any more."

Zhu Yu smiled and nodded to Qing Yangzi: "Then please do as you wish, Sect Master!"

After saying this, he continued to drink with Song Lian and showed no sign of getting up to see him off.

Qing Yangzi was depressed and had to leave in disgrace. But as he left, he became more determined in his thoughts.

As expected, Feng Shao can't stay for long! If it weren't for Feng Shao, how could I, the head of Taiwei Sect, be so embarrassed in front of two sect elders?

If Feng Shao continues to stay in Taiwei Sect, there is no telling how embarrassing his position will become!
