Feng Shao sheathed his sword and saluted: "Master."
The one who just took action was Qing Yangzi, the leader of Taiwei Sect.
Feng Shao was not surprised by this. After all, this competition was just a competition between fellow disciples, so there was no need to risk one's life. Moreover, it was not appropriate to cause a death on such an important day. Even if Qing Yangzi did not make a move, Feng Shao would have stopped the move the moment the sword light fell.
Qing Yangzi nodded calmly, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, even he himself did not expect that his eldest disciple was far more outstanding than he imagined. He even learned the Tidal Sword Art and Super Sea Sword Art out of the Thirty-Six Sword Art of Xiaoyao Hall.
Xiaoyao Hall ranks first among the thirteen halls under Yunjian Pavilion. Its hall master is Xiao Ruoyao, the wife of Lin Fengtian, the master of Yunjian Pavilion.
It is said that Xiao Ruoyao, the "Fairy Xiaoyao", has superb swordsmanship. When she first debuted, she shocked the crowd with her Tianyu swordsmanship. Later, Xiao Ruoyao and Lin Fengtian met and fell in love, and together they created the huge family business of Yunjian Pavilion. After the two got married, Xiao Ruoyao and Lin Fengtian devoted themselves to studying swordsmanship and gradually created the 36 sword tactics of Xiaoyao Hall. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Xiaoyao Hall can be compared with Tiangang Sect, which is also a sword-cultivating sect.
The Super Sea Sword Technique is the most powerful sword technique among the 36 sword techniques of Xiaoyao Hall. It has always been the secret of Xiaoyao Hall. Legend has it that only Lin Fengtian, Xiao Ruoyao and their daughter Lin Xiaoran can use it.
But now, there is another person who can use the Super Sea Sword Technique, Feng Shao, which shows how much Yunjian Pavilion and Xiaoyao Hall value Feng Shao. This also forced Qingyangzi to reconsider who is more suitable for the position of the Son of God.
Feng Shao saw Qing Yangzi's expression and naturally knew what Qing Yangzi was thinking. But he said nothing and just stood aside silently.
Qing Yangzi looked at Feng Shao with complicated eyes, and then said: "Shao'er, you really are worthy of being my eldest disciple. I can rest assured that the position of the Holy Son is in your hands!"
Feng Shao said respectfully, "Master, you are too kind."
On the other side, Ye Chen finally came back to his senses. He looked at Feng Shao, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Feng is really amazing, Junior Brother admits defeat!"
Feng Shao frowned slightly. He really couldn't understand why Ye Chen was so hostile to him. It was Ye Chen who took the initiative to cause trouble from the beginning to the end, but he looked humiliated, which was really confusing.
Seeing Ye Chen limping and preparing to step down from the platform, Feng Shao suddenly said, "Junior Brother Ye, have you forgotten something?"
Ye Chen looked at Feng Shao with a gloomy face: "What's the matter?"
Feng Shao smiled faintly and said, "Junior Brother Ye, have you forgotten the bet we agreed on before the competition?"
Ye Chen suddenly looked embarrassed. The Red Dragon Sword was obtained when he traveled down the mountain. It was a rare divine weapon. Since Ye Chen got this sword, he had defeated countless opponents. If he just gave away the sword, he really couldn't bear it.
He rolled his eyes and suddenly said to Feng Shao with a smile: "Senior Brother Feng, the competition just now was just a joke from my junior brother. Did you take it seriously?"
Feng Shao smiled and said, "I didn't know that Junior Brother Ye had the habit of joking in front of so many people. So, Junior Brother Ye wants to break this bet?"
As the son of destiny, Ye Chen has always been very thick-skinned. But because of this, Feng Shao confirmed Ye Chen's identity as the "son of destiny".
After all, in the novels he had read in his previous life, many protagonists had the innate skill of "cheating". If you make a bet with them and win, you don't have to consider the possibility of cashing it out. On the contrary, many villains in novels will abide by their agreements and will not deny their losses.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the protagonist would not lose the bet. It was just that from the moment they made the bet, they never thought about keeping it.
Thinking of this, Feng Shao was shocked. If Ye Chen is the protagonist, then I, who was targeted by him, would be the villain, right?
At this time, Ye Chen said with a playful smile: "Brother, what are you talking about? I have only been a disciple for five years, isn't it normal that I am not your opponent? I just wanted to create a good atmosphere because there are so many people attending this grand ceremony! Now that the atmosphere is created, I should leave too."
Having said that, Ye Chen wanted to walk down from the platform.
Seeing Ye Chen's unreasonable behavior, Du Yuanxi and his three disciples couldn't help but smile. What others thought was a rogue behavior, they thought it was cute.
But Feng Shao suddenly said coldly: "Junior Brother Ye, the bet has been made. I don't care whether you are joking with me or for real. If you lose, you must fulfill the bet!"
Ye Chen was furious. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a pleasant female voice coming from Du Yuanxi: "Brother Feng, Brother Ye is young and ignorant. It was just a joke. Why take it so seriously? You are already the Son of God. Don't you even have this little tolerance?"
Feng Shao looked in the direction of the voice and said calmly, "Junior Sister Lu, did Third Uncle also say when he was teaching you, 'If you lose the bet, you can default on the debt'?"
"You!" Lu Qingyuan was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Du Yuanxi was dissatisfied when she heard this. But she knew that her disciple was in the wrong this time, so she didn't say much. Moreover, after Feng Shao ascended to the position of the Holy Son, his status was higher than her uncle. You have to know that the supply of spirit stones, elixirs and natural treasures of the entire sect is all in the charge of Feng Shao. So even though Du Yuanxi is Feng Shao's uncle, she doesn't dare to put on airs in front of him.
Feng Shao retracted his gaze and put it on Ye Chen again, saying: "Junior Brother Ye, I will teach you a truth today. To cultivate immortality, you must first cultivate your body, and to cultivate your body, you must first cultivate your mind. If you don't keep your promise, then what's the point of cultivating immortality!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Du Yuanxi and others all changed their expressions.
Feng Shao's words have been very clear. If you don't leave the Red Dragon Sword today, then you can't stay in Taiwei Sect any longer!
Although the Saint Son did not have the power to expel disciples from the sect, Qing Yangzi had to give the new Saint Son this face at the Saint Son canonization ceremony. After all, Qing Yangzi's hesitation just now was already inappropriate. If he rejected the Saint Son's first decision, Feng Shao would have no right to be the Saint Son.
Fortunately, Qing Yangzi's brain worked properly this time. He figured out the key here and nodded slightly.
Ye Chen was not a fool. When he saw Qing Yangzi nod, he immediately understood and his face turned very ugly. He looked down at the Red Dragon Sword in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and then threw the Red Dragon Sword to the ground, and then glared at Feng Shao hatefully: "Brother Feng, I admit defeat this time! But don't be complacent! Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the poor young man!"
After saying that, Ye Chen turned away.
Hearing Ye Chen's harsh words that sounded like a declaration, Feng Shao smiled helplessly.
This time, Ye Chen’s identity as the son of destiny has been completely confirmed.
He has also basically confirmed his identity as a villain.
But Feng Shao couldn't understand, how did I become the villain?
——————————
Many people thought that the competition at the Canonization Ceremony of the Son of Heaven was just a farce. Although Ye Chen had excellent qualifications, it was too much of a joke for him to challenge the Son of Heaven. Especially after losing, he actually wanted to cheat and evade the debt, which made many people laugh.
After leaving, many people couldn't help whispering and talking about it.
After seeing off the guests, Qing Yangzi was about to say something to Feng Shao, but Feng Shao spoke first: "Master, I have something urgent to do. Please allow me to leave first!"
After saying this, Feng Shao flew away on his sword without waiting for Qingyangzi to answer.
Qing Yangzi didn't expect Feng Shao to not even give him a chance to speak, and he was a little annoyed. But he also knew that his decision just now really hurt the heart of this eldest disciple, so it was normal for Feng Shao to be a little angry. Moreover, since Feng Shao joined the sect, all the affairs of the sect were handled by Feng Shao, and he was so busy that he almost had no time to rest all day. This kind of situation where he left directly after saying a word had happened more than once, and Qing Yangzi had long been accustomed to it.
So Qingyangzi had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and prepare to leave.
At this time, Du Yuanxi's voice suddenly came: "Brother, please stay!"
Qing Yangzi turned his head to look at Du Yuanxi and asked in confusion: "Junior sister, is there something wrong?"
Du Yuanxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother, my little disciple's behavior just now was indeed inappropriate. It is understandable that Feng Shao is angry because of this. But after all, Ye Chen is not the only one in my three branches. If this affects other disciples, I am afraid..."
Without waiting for Du Yuanxi to finish her words, Qing Yangzi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Feng Shao is a sensible person and will not withhold the resources of your three branches because of personal grudges. Junior sister, you can rest assured."
After hearing Qingyangzi's words, Du Yuanxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Du Yuanxi also knew that Feng Shao was not a narrow-minded person, but she was still unsure. After all, Ye Chen's behavior today was indeed too much, and Lu Qingyuan also interrupted at an inappropriate time. Feng Shao could not help but have a grudge against the three branches. But now with the guarantee from the head brother, Du Yuanxi felt relieved. If Feng Shao really withheld the resources belonging to the three branches, then the head brother would go to argue, and she didn't need to come forward.
But Du Yuanxi thought about it again and felt that it was not a good idea to continue like this. If they didn't find a way to resolve Feng Shao's knot, the three tribes would have a hard time in the future.
Thinking of this, Du Yuanxi called Lu Qingyuan again and said, "Qingyuan, what you said and did just now was inappropriate. Do you know that?"
Lu Qingyuan hung his head and said nothing.
Du Yuanxi sighed and said earnestly, "Qingyuan, you must understand that Feng Shao is now the Saint Son of our sect. His status in the entire sect is second only to your head master. You can choose not to curry favor with him, but you must never offend him. Go and apologize to Feng Shao, and speak well of your junior brother. He has always been fond of you, so I'm sure he will listen to your words."
Lu Qingyuan said dissatisfiedly: "Master, you also heard how he scolded his disciple just now! Yes, it is not good for Junior Brother Ye Chen to cheat, but there is no need for him to be aggressive in front of so many people, right? If it really doesn't work, we can discuss it privately and compensate him with something else! Junior Brother only has that one weapon! Without the Red Dragon Sword, what will he use in the future?"
Du Yuanxi said disapprovingly: "Although Ye Chen has been a disciple for five years, his behavior and actions are still like those of a commoner. This is not the first time he has acted like a scoundrel. Many outer disciples are deeply dissatisfied, but they dare not speak out, which has greatly affected the reputation of our lineage. Ye Chen suffered a great loss this time. If he can learn a lesson, then this loss is worth it!"
Seeing that his master had said so, Lu Qingyuan had no choice but to say, "If that's the case, then I'll obey your orders!"
As he spoke, Lu Qingyuan turned around and flew up on his sword, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Du Yuanxi knew that Lu Qingyuan was angry, so she could only smile bitterly and shook her head.
——————————
Lu Qingyuan randomly found a disciple, asked Feng Shao where he was going, and then headed straight for the Sutra Library. As soon as she entered the Sutra Library, she saw dozens of ancient books scattered on the ground, while Feng Shao was sitting cross-legged on the ground, flipping through the ancient books in his hand.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyuan was immediately annoyed. How precious are these ancient books? How could they be placed on the ground so casually? If they were damaged, wouldn't it be a great loss for the sect?
Lu Qingyuan was about to speak, but Feng Shao seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly raised his head, and saw Lu Qingyuan standing not far away. He was startled at first, and then waved his hand and said, "Junior Sister Lu, you came at the right time, come and help me find a book."
What Lu Qingyuan wanted to say was immediately choked back by Feng Shao. Feeling depressed, she could only ask, "I wonder what book Senior Brother Feng is looking for?"
"A book that records information about Bifang Yuan. The more detailed the better!" Feng Shao said, pointing to several bookshelves around him. "Just look for it from these bookshelves."
Lu Qingyuan couldn't help but secretly gasp. Wow! So many books, how long will it take to find them all? But when she looked at Feng Shao again, she saw that he had already changed a book and started flipping through it. He looked so serious, as if he didn't intend to explain it to Lu Qingyuan in detail.
Lu Qingyuan had no choice but to walk to the bookshelves that Feng Shao had just pointed out, picked up an ancient book and was about to open it, but suddenly her expression was stunned.
By the way, didn’t I come here to apologize to Feng Shao?
In this situation, should I still apologize?
After Lu Qingyuan thought for a moment, she whispered to Feng Shao, "Brother Feng, I was wrong just now. I apologize to you. Whether you heard it or not, I have already apologized, and you can't bear a grudge anymore."
After saying this, Lu Qingyuan quickly covered her face with the ancient book and only observed Feng Shao with the corner of her eyes. Seeing that Feng Shao didn't react, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She didn't know that Feng Shao heard everything she said just now.
Feng Shao chuckled in his heart and murmured in a voice that only he could hear:
"You damn tsundere!"
