"Master..."
Tang Wan'er was shocked. Feng Xinyue had always doted on her and treated her as a treasure in her hands, never letting her suffer any grievances.
When she was in Feng Sect before, the entire Feng Sect had to give her three points. It can be said that Feng Sect was like her. Feng Xinyue simply doted on Tang Wan'er to the sky. Let alone scolding, she was reluctant to say even a harsh word.
However, today, her words shocked Tang Wan'er. At that moment, her mind was blank, and she didn't know what she had done wrong.
"Do you still remember what I said to you when I accepted you as my disciple?" Feng Xinyue looked at Tang Wan'er and said.
Tang Wan'er nodded desperately, her voice choked with sobs: "Of course I remember, you said that from that day on, disciples only need to bully others, not be bullied, so as not to lose face for the master.
If I can't beat them, I will find my senior brothers and sisters. If my senior brothers and sisters can't beat them, I will come to you, the master."
This was what Feng Xinyue said when she accepted Tang Wan'er as her disciple. Tang Wan'er will never forget it in her life.
"Since you remember, why are you in such a miserable situation? How were you bullied? Have you ever looked for me?" Feng Xinyue looked at Tang Wan'er and said.
"I..." Tang Wan'er was speechless. "
When did it become their turn to bully me, Feng Xinyue's disciple? You almost made Master lose face." Feng Xinyue sighed, looking like she was disappointed. "
It's my incompetence. I will work hard to practice. Master, don't be sad. I will definitely help you get back the face you lost." Tang Wan'er said hurriedly.
Feng Xinyue's care for Tang Wan'er was meticulous. Tang Wan'er always regarded Feng Xinyue as her own mother. Seeing her disappointed eyes at this moment, Tang Wan'er felt very uncomfortable, and at the same time she hated herself for not being strong enough.
"Silly child, did I tell you that you are the one who will shoulder the responsibilities of Feng Sect? I just hope that you can be your true self in any environment.
It is you who foolishly put one burden after another on your shoulders. All the trivial matters and troubles have made you forget the essence of cultivation.
If you continue like this, you will be like them, scheming for power, bending your knees for fame and fortune, and from then on you will be obsessed with money and greed, and will not compromise the means to achieve your goals. You will neither be a human nor a ghost." Feng Xinyue sighed.
Feng Xinyue's words made all the strong men present change their faces. It was clear that she was scolding all of them.
But Long Chen admired in his heart that Feng Xinyue was right. Tang Wan'er now had too many things to bear. She was thinking about how to protect everyone and how not to cause trouble to her master all day long. She compromised everywhere. Over time, her spirit was exhausted and her Tao heart would go astray.
Feng Xinyue's words were very sharp. The eight deputy pavilion masters, the three divine wind elders, and many high-level officials were targeting outsiders like Tang Wan'er.
This was clearly a declaration of sovereignty to suppress Feng Xinyue. Although they had high cultivation and strong strength, their selfish desires had blinded their eyes. Such people would never be able to comprehend the true great way in their entire lives. The
so-called "not like a human, not like a ghost" was not an insult to them, but a true portrayal of their current situation. They were in high positions, but their minds were so narrow and their thoughts were so dark that they were no different from the devil.
The most terrifying thing was that they themselves did not notice anything wrong at all, and they firmly believed that everything they did was right. <br.< p>
"Master, I know I was wrong." Tang Wan'er said in a choked voice.
Feng Xinyue looked at Tang Wan'er with tears in her eyes, and a trace of heartache appeared in her eyes. She stretched out her jade hand, slowly wiped Tang Wan'er's tears, and said softly:
"Good child, I know you feel sorry for the master and are afraid of causing trouble for the master, but you must believe that the master's strength is enough to protect you, at least..."
Feng Xinyue's eyes swept across all the senior executives, and a proud arc appeared at the corner of her mouth: "At least, this group of misfits is not taken seriously by me."
Hearing Feng Xinyue use misfits to describe this group of people, Tang Wan'er burst into laughter, and the faces of those senior executives were as black as charcoal.
"Feng Xinyue, you are too much." A pavilion master finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.
"You are a bunch of old men who are not cultivating. You are targeting a girl with vicious and cruel words. Isn't that too much? Don't worry. You dare to humiliate my disciples of Feng Xinyue. I will remember this account." Feng Xinyue snorted coldly and ignored them. Instead, she looked at Long Chen and said,
"I didn't help Wan'er when she was bullied. You don't blame me, do you?"
Long Chen shook his head and said, "How could it be? The wisdom of the senior is like the sea, and there must be a deep meaning. As the saying goes, if you gain something, you will lose something.
Similarly, if you lose something, you must gain something. Wan'er has endured humiliation and trained her character during this period. It may not be a bad thing for her future growth.
The most important thing is that she saw the human nature clearly at the most difficult time and gained a group of sisters who shared life and death. This is the most precious wealth in life.
Ask those ugly people, is there anyone who can entrust their lives? From this point of view alone, whether it is Wan'er or every soldier of the Hidden Dragon Legion, it is a great opportunity and a great blessing."
Seeing that Long Chen did not forget to insult this group of people while speaking, Feng Xinyue couldn't help but smile, with admiration on her face:
"You are worthy of being the youngest dean in the history of Lingxiao Academy. This wisdom and vision are really amazing. I was still thinking about how to explain it to Wan'er, but with what you said, any explanation is superfluous."
Tang Wan'er finally understood that her master had been hiding from her and letting her struggle. It turned out that he had good intentions. As Long Chen said, only when one is at the lowest point in life can one see human nature clearly.
Hearing the conversation between Feng Xinyue and Long Chen, Tang Wan'er seemed to understand a lot of truths in an instant, and her state of mind also grew a lot. She seemed to have grown up in an instant.
"Are you done yet? We are here to participate in the ranking competition, not to watch you flatter each other." At this moment, a son of God stood up and shouted impatiently.
Facing the shouting of the Son of God, Feng Xinyue did not get angry, but smiled calmly at Long Chen and said, "Do you understand why I asked Wan'er that?"
Long Chen was stunned, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. Seeing Long Chen's happy face, Feng Xinyue smiled at Long Chen, and then went straight back to his seat.
Although Feng Xinyue and the other Divine Wind elders stood in a row, she looked like a crane standing out among chickens, and was out of tune with everyone. Her temperament was too noble. She stood there like a princess in luxurious clothes standing among a group of ragged beggars.
"The qualifying competition begins, please bring out the qualifying roulette."
A deputy pavilion master shouted loudly, and then the void trembled, and a huge roulette appeared.
