Chapter 173.1
Chapter 173.1
Qing Yangzi, who was full of ambition a few months ago, has turned into such an appearance now, which is really embarrassing.
Qing Yangzi seemed to have sensed something and slowly opened his eyes. He opened his mouth and muttered, “Where is Shao’er? Where is Shao’er?”
Feng Shao was taken aback.
How long has he not heard this title? He remembered that when he first joined the Taiwei Sect, Qing Yangzi called him that.
At that time, Qing Yangzi was like a father in Feng Shao’s eyes, which made him feel a little bit of family affection for the first time in his two lives.
But then, why did Qing Yangzi change?
It became strange and chilling to Feng Shao. After being disappointed again and again, Feng Shao finally chose to leave the sect in the end.
Feng Shao lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, “Master, this disciple is here.”
After a few months, Feng Shao called out these two words again. It’s just that things are different now, and his state of mind is quite different too.
A smile slowly appeared on Qing Yangzi’s face, “Shao’er, don’t you blame me?”Feng Shao remained silent.
Qing Yangzi sighed and said in a low voice, “Since I took over the burden of being the sect master, I have been thinking about how to revive the Taiwei Sect every day. But my ability is limited, and I have failed my master and the expectations of the ancestors. On the contrary, it was you who gradually carried the Taiwei Sect forward.”
Speaking of this, Qing Yangzi smiled bitterly, “But I was really bewitched, and even took all the credit you own as mine, thinking that with my ability, I could do the same. But what happened later told me that I was really wrong. Even so, I refused to admit that I had made a mistake and even refused to admit that I had wronged you. Shao’er, I really failed as the head of the sect.”
But immediately, Qing Yangzi smiled again, and said, “Hehe… Still, as a master, I am very successful, because I have a disciple like you!”
When a person was about to die, his words would also turn kind. At this moment, the trace of resentment towards Qing Yangzi in Feng Shao’s heart finally dissipated.
He said sadly, “Sometimes, I really want to go back thirty years ago. Although we had nothing at that time, at least we didn’t have so many things to worry about, and we didn’t fight for various interests. But after the Taiwei Sect gradually grew, many things changed. We are no longer as harmonious as before, and we no longer trust each other as before. This disciple wants to know, did I do the right thing in strengthening the Taiwei Sect? Or was it wrong to do so?”
…
In fact, Feng Shao has never been a person who is attached to power.
It was not his dream to strengthen the Taiwei Sect, but his master, Qing Yangzi, wanted to strengthen the Taiwei Sect, so Feng Shao tried to do it with all his heart.
However, with the gradual growth of the Taiwei Sect, the relationship between the master and the disciple became more and more distant. In the end, they became like strangers today.
After a long time, Feng Shao didn’t wait for Qing Yangzi’s answer. When he looked down again, he found that Qing Yangzi had closed his eyes and was completely silent.
Tears… dripped silently.
Qing Yangzi was wrong in every possible way, but he was the first person Feng Shao treated as a relative in this life. The moment Qing Yangzi closed his eyes, the resentment in Feng Shao’s heart disappeared.
Vaguely, Feng Shao remembered the conversation between the two when they first met.
“Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?”
“Then… can you save me?”
“If you worship me as your teacher, I will save you.”
“What if I don’t ask you to be my teacher?”
“…I will still save you.”
“Then I am willing to worship you as my teacher.”
Life and death are so strange. Some people, when they are alive, what always comes to mind is that they are bad at one thing or another, and their expressions and words are full of disgust. But when he really will never appear in front of you again, what comes to mind more is the goodness he once had.
Perhaps, there really is a truth to the old saying.
The dead are the most wonderful!
—————————
On that day, Feng Shao regained his identity as the eldest disciple of the Taiwei Sect, and he returned to the Taiwei Sect with Qing Yangzi’s body.
With death like a lamp extinguished, Qing Yangzi’s past merits and demerits have become less important now. Feng Shao presided over Qing Yangzi’s funeral as the eldest disciple of the main branch. And Feng Shao’s name has also returned to Taiwei Sect’s sect lineage.
For Qing Yangzi, many people have very complicated emotions in their hearts.
There is no doubt that during Qing Yangzi’s tenure as the head, Taiwei Sect’s status has achieved a qualitative leap.
It’s just that the one who contributed the most was not Qing Yangzi, but Feng Shao.
However, Feng Shao, the greatest hero, was forced to leave by Qing Yangzi being unclear about rewards and punishments, which caused dissatisfaction among many people.
But it was undeniable that it was also because Qing Yangzi accepted Feng Shao, this eldest disciple, that the Taiwei Sect was able to obtain its current status, which can be regarded as indirectly realizing his goal of improving the Taiwei Sect’s status.
Both merits and demerits!
After Qing Yangzi’s funeral, Feng Shao stayed in Taiwei Sect for another three days and then returned to the new city together with Lin Xiaoran and others.
