Chapter 40.1

They flew with a sword in the sky, and the cold wind kept blowing, but Feng Shao was very calm in his heart.

“Master…”

The little girl who had been buried in Feng Shao’s arms suddenly raised her head and asked timidly.

“Master, disciple… Did the disciple cause you trouble?”

Feng Shao couldn’t help laughing.

“Why do you say that?”

The little girl lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I heard… I heard that Master… Master’s status seems to be quite high in the sect. Many people listen to Master’s words. There should be many people who are reluctant to part with Master in the sect, right? But the master left the sect because of this disciple, disciple…disciple…”

Having said that, the little girl couldn’t continue.

Feng Shao caressed the little girl’s head, and said with a smile, “Master left the Taiwei Sect, partly because of you, but not all of it.”

“But if the master didn’t stand up for the disciples, there is no need to leave the sect at all, right?” the little girl asked.

Feng Shao sighed and said, “In people’s lifetime, they have things that they must do and things that they must not do. Ye Chen’s behavior has already broken through my bottom line, so in Taiwei Sect, there can only be him or me. Now that the sect has decided to try their best to keep Ye Chen, then I will not stay any longer.”

“But Master, wouldn’t you be reluctant?”

“It’s really a little bit reluctant, but I don’t want to abandon my bottom line.”

Feng Shao said seriously, “Little girl, this is the first lesson I teach you. I hope that no matter how much you practice in the future, you must always keep in mind that before cultivating the Tao, the first thing to do is to cultivate the heart. Our practice is not to be brave and ruthless, nor to look down on the common people, but to be capable when there is something we want to do and to do the things we must do. Be free and easy, but not do whatever you want. That Ye Chen has stepped into the Devil Dao, and he will inevitably go astray in the future. As a teacher, I hope that you will not be like him one day in the future.”

The little girl nodded with a vague understanding.

Seeing the little girl’s self-blaming expression, Feng Shao laughed, “Little girl, do you think it’s pitiful for the teacher to leave the Taiwei Sect?”

The little girl scratched her head, not knowing how to answer Feng Shao’s words.

She really felt that Master’s situation was a bit pitiful.

After all, the head of the sect would give up his eldest disciple for the sake of a third-branch disciple, not to mention that this eldest disciple had made so many contributions to the sect.

But she really couldn’t say this out, after all, it hurts to say it.

Feng Shao smiled brightly, “Little girl, I will teach you the second lesson as a teacher. Sometimes, a foundation is a kind of wealth, but sometimes a foundation is also a burden, especially if it is not where you can have the final say. It is true that the Taiwei Sect is where it is today after my thirty years of painstaking efforts, but this does not mean that I want to stick to this foundation. I have been working so hard for a long time. In fact, the main reason is to repay the favor. Now that the favor has been repaid, all that is left is my own life.”

But the little girl looked puzzled, “Master, what do you mean by that?”

Feng Shao patted her on the head and said with a smile, “It means, I, the Master, am free now! I can do whatever I want, and I don’t have to think about the sect’s interests anymore!”

The little girl couldn’t help being stunned.

So Master has always thought so? To him, Taiwei Sect is far less important than she imagined?

In fact, Feng Shao does not actually think that the Taiwei Sect is unimportant, but that he has already wasted too much time because of Taiwei Sect.

In fact, he has always hoped that someone can take over the burden in his hands so that he can do his own things, and this is the fundamental reason why he has been committed to cultivating sect disciples.

The position of holy son is really not important to Feng Shao, he does not care about it at all. For him, the position of holy son is more like a shackle than a throne, and only a greedy and selfish person like Ye Chen would covet this position.

Feng Shao does not want the position of holy son, but he couldn’t let Ye Chen snatch it away. This was a matter of dignity.

His plan was to cultivate disciples from the sect who could truly carry the burden, and then hand over the position of the holy son in a grandiose manner.

As for himself, he can choose to stay in the sect or travel around.

After all, this world is so big, if you don’t go out to see more, wouldn’t you let down the life you have lived through?

So Feng Shao didn’t feel depressed because of leaving the sect, he just felt a little regretful.

It’s a pity that the Taiwei Sect didn’t become what he wanted after all. It’s a pity that a good Taiwei Sect was ruined by Ye Chen and Ling Xuzi’s two mouse feces, and it’s a pity that the originally fair and wise master changed and finally became what he is today.

But this result is his choice, as for what it will develop into in the future, it has nothing to do with Feng Shao.

But Feng Shao would not let Ye Chen go.
