Finally, Feng Shao, accompanied by Shao Yunqing, met up with his fellow junior brothers and sisters whom he had not seen for several months.
Of course, out of the instinct of "protecting food", Lin Xiaoran also followed them. And from beginning to end, Lin Xiaoran never let go of Feng Shao's arm, as if once she let go of her arm, her beloved brother Shao would fly away.
Shao Yunqing didn't react at all to this. But only she knew what she was thinking.
When the brothers met, there was a lot of excitement. After learning that Feng Shao had been engaged, the brothers congratulated Feng Shao and took the initiative to call Lin Xiaoran "Sister-in-law". Lin Xiaoran was very happy to hear this and couldn't help but look at Shao Yunqing in a protest.
Shao Yunqing, on the other hand, had a calm and smiling face, which made Lin Xiaoran confused as to what was going on with her.
Among all the people, only Lu Qingyuan had a complicated expression. She seemed to have a lot to say to Feng Shao, but in the end she swallowed them all back.
As for Feng Shao, he didn't notice anything wrong from beginning to end.
After returning to Yunjian Pavilion, Lin Xiaoran, as a host, hosted the Taiwei Sect and set up a banquet. After hearing that Feng Shao's fifth and seventh junior brothers had their Dantian destroyed because of the conflict with Ye Chen, Lin Xiaoran generously gave them a whole bottle of recovery pills.
As the little princess of Yunjian Pavilion, Lin Xiaoran was naturally pampered like a star surrounded by moon. Jia Chan, the head of Qingxing Hall, would send Lin Xiaoran a large number of pills every once in a while, so many that Lin Xiaoran could eat them until her next life. So for her, the recovery pills were nothing.
However, this action won the favor of everyone in Taiwei Sect, and everyone respected this sister-in-law who had not yet married into the family even more.
While everyone was having a great time, Shao Yunqing came to Lu Qingyuan who was drinking alone.
Shao Yunqing poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said casually, "Miss Lu, you seem to have a special impression of Mr. Feng!"
Lu Qingyuan glanced at her and remained silent.
Shao Yunqing laughed and said, "Miss Lu, if you have anything on your mind, you might as well tell me. I'm a tight-lipped person, so I'll be a good listener for you."
Lu Qingyuan said calmly: "Miss Shao, I'm afraid you can't understand my situation."
"If you don't tell me, how do you know I can't understand?"
Lu Qingyuan shook her head and said nothing.
Shao Yunqing looked at Lu Qingyuan and suddenly said, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Lu, you may also like Mr. Feng?"
Lu Qingyuan glanced at Shao Yunqing calmly and said, "Ms. Shao used the word 'also' very well!"
Shao Yunqing did not hide the truth and sighed, "Master Feng once saved my life. Since then, I have been unable to forget Master Feng. But when we met again eight years later, I learned that he was engaged. Do you know how sad I was?"
Lu Qingyuan burst out laughing: "Everyone says that the Saint of the Nine Yin Holy Land is pure and innocent, untainted by the mundane world, like a flower on a high mountain that can only be admired from afar. Why is it that the Saint of the Nine Yin Holy Land today is a little different from the legend?"
Shao Yunqing also laughed: "The world only knows my appearance, but not my heart. The so-called flower on the mountain is just a disguise. I am also a woman, and I am not practicing the way of abandoning desire and emotion. I also have people I love in my heart. And Mr. Feng is the man I love."
Hearing this, Lu Qingyuan couldn't help but look at Shao Yunqing again.
It must be said that Shao Yunqing is extremely beautiful. Even though Lu Qingyuan is very confident about her appearance, she still feels a little ashamed in front of Shao Yunqing. However, this pure goddess in the eyes of countless male cultivators in the upper domain actually said so bluntly that she loves a man?
This feeling is like watching a towering mountain collapse in front of you.
At this time, Shao Yunqing suddenly took the initiative to hold Lu Qingyuan's hand and said softly: "Miss Lu, in fact, I can roughly guess what you are thinking. It is not surprising that other women admire Mr. Feng, who is so talented. Although Mr. Feng is engaged now, you and I are still not without a chance."
Lu Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I have more respect and admiration for Senior Brother Feng. As for love, I am not worthy of it."
Seeing Shao Yunqing looking at her with a puzzled look on her face, Lu Qingyuan could only say, "Miss Shao, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that in Senior Brother Feng's heart, love has never been his concern. Now that he has found such a good match, I, your junior sister, am sincerely happy for him. As for the rest, I'm sorry I can't help you."
Perhaps because she had been scolded by Feng Shao in the past, Lu Qingyuan could not help but recall Feng Shao's past behavior repeatedly. Gradually, she realized that Feng Shao was never a person who focused on his own gains and losses. Her previous speculation about him was purely petty.
After understanding what Feng Shao did, Lu Qingyuan suddenly realized that everything she had done and thought before was too petty.
After thinking this through, Lu Qingyuan naturally felt ashamed. As for her feelings towards Feng Shao now, she herself couldn't tell whether it was admiration or love. She only knew that no matter what Feng Shao asked her to do in the future, she would do it without hesitation.
Because she believed that Feng Shao would lead them on a different path.
As for the love between young people...just let it be!
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Miss Shao, instead of being obsessed with emotional gains and losses, why don't you try to get closer to Brother Feng in other ways? Maybe after getting along for a long time, you will get to know a different Brother Feng!"
Looking at Lu Qingyuan's open-minded smile, Shao Yunqing seemed to be thinking about something.
——————————
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
While Feng Shao was meeting up with his fellow apprentices, the atmosphere in Taiwei Mountain was a little weird. The one who brought this weird atmosphere was none other than the new Holy Son of Taiwei Mountain, Ye Chen.
And a beautiful woman whom he brought from somewhere.
The woman claimed her name was Zhao Meir, and she was pretty, charming, and pitiful. According to Ye Chen, he rescued her from a group of bandits on his way back to the mountain.
However, although Zhao Mei'er was rescued, her parents died at the hands of bandits. Zhao Mei'er, who had lost all her relatives, had nowhere to go, so Ye Chen took her to Mount Taiwei out of kindness.
As soon as he returned to Taiwei Mountain, Ye Chen took Zhao Meir to pay his respects to Du Yuanxi and asked Du Yuanxi to accept Zhao Meir as his disciple.
But what Ye Chen didn't expect was that Du Yuanxi rejected Ye Chen's request outright. The reason for Du Yuanxi's refusal was very simple, that is, "this woman's origin is unknown."
Ye Chen was puzzled and argued with Du Yuanxi. But Du Yuanxi was unwilling to say more and directly kicked Ye Chen out.
This made Ye Chen feel dissatisfied.
Zhao Meir comforted Ye Chen, "Brother Ye, Master's concerns are reasonable. I am indeed from an unknown background. Brother Ye, please don't get angry with Master!"
She advised like this, but her face looked pitiful and aggrieved, and she looked like she was about to cry, which made people want to hug her in their arms.
So Ye Chen did it.
He hugged Zhao Meir and comforted her, "Mei'er, don't worry. Master was just confused for a moment. I'll ask her again when she's in a better mood in a few days. Master has always loved me the most. As long as I ask her a few more times, she will definitely agree."
Zhao Meir nodded pitifully, but also said sympathetically: "Brother Ye, please don't quarrel with Master. I am here to join this place, not to break it up."
Ye Chen said with pity: "Mei'er, you are so kind. Master treated you like this, and you still spoke well of her. Don't worry, Mei'er, I won't let you suffer any injustice!"
Zhao Meir said with emotion: "As long as Brother Ye is here, I won't feel wronged at all!"
In the following months, Zhao Meir stayed in Mount Taiwei.
Zhao Meier was not a Taiwei Mountain disciple, and as a visitor she had obviously stayed too long. Therefore, for a long time, Zhao Meier's identity on Taiwei Mountain was quite incongruous. But Zhao Meier did not seem to think there was any problem at all. Instead, she talked and laughed with the outer disciples of Taiwei Mountain and soon became one of them.
Seeing Zhao Meir gaining recognition from everyone, Ye Chen felt very relieved. But what troubled him was that no matter how many times he asked Du Yuanxi to accept Zhao Meir as his disciple, Du Yuanxi rejected them all.
Later on, Du Yuanxi even lost his personal disciple.
This not only made Ye Chen angry, but also further deepened his dissatisfaction with Du Yuanxi.
Apart from Du Yuanxi, another person who made him dissatisfied was the sect leader Qing Yangzi.
When Ye Chen just returned to the mountain, Qingyang summoned him. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Chen entered the headmaster's residence, before he could salute, he was scolded by Qingyangzi.
Ye Chen was angry in his heart, but he remained calm and asked, "I wonder why the head master is so angry?"
Qing Yangzi said angrily: "Do you really not know or are you playing dumb? I asked you to go to Yunjian Pavilion to change the engagement, but why not only did you fail to marry Lin Xiaoran, but you were kicked out instead? You really brought shame to our Taiwei Sect!"
Ye Chen frowned and said, "Master, I'm afraid this matter cannot be blamed on me, right? The head of the Yunjian Pavilion said that their original plan was to marry their daughter to Feng Shao. Apart from Feng Shao, they don't recognize anyone else. Even if I have the ability, how can I ask others to betroth their daughter to me?"
Qing Yangzi was startled: "Did they really say that?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Disciple is not lying."
Qingyangzi's face suddenly turned gloomy.
If Ye Chen did not lie, then all of Qing Yangzi's previous speculations were obviously wrong! Yunjian Pavilion supported Taiwei Sect because they liked Feng Shao, instead of marrying their daughter to Feng Shao because they saw the potential of Taiwei Sect?
If this is true, then what is the point of his previous plan? Isn't it just a joke?
When Feng Shao left, the reason why Qing Yangzi was so tough was that, in addition to the huge foundation that Feng Shao had led his people to fight for, his biggest reliance was Yun Jian Pavilion, his rich relative! He was confident that as long as he had the support of Yun Jian Pavilion, even without Feng Shao, Tai Wei Sect would be able to rise sooner or later!
But now, you tell me that what they really like is not Taiwei Zong, but Feng Shao? !
Qing Yangzi felt extremely depressed. When he thought of how Ling Xuzi knew this and hid it from him, he could not help but feel hatred towards Ling Xuzi.
But the person he hated the most was not Ling Xuzi, but Feng Shao.
Obviously, Feng Shao knew the fundamental reason for the marriage between Yunjian Pavilion and Taiwei Sect. But in the past three years, Feng Shao did not mention a word about it, so he misjudged the situation. If he knew a little bit of the truth, he would have worshipped Feng Shao as his ancestor, and how could he let Feng Shao leave the sect?
Feng Shao clearly knew all this, but he refused to say anything. Maybe he just wanted to make fun of him, the leader of the sect?
Feng Shao, you have such a vicious heart!
Thinking of this, Qing Yangzi could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood, angrily saying: "Feng Shao misled me! Ling Xuzi misled me!"
Then he fell to the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
