Chapter 807: All 3 Sect Leaders Want to Descend the Mountain

"Miss, Du Yi wants to stay by your side."

He didn’t even need to think about it. The only person he, Du Yi, wanted to follow in this life was the Miss.

"Alright. From now on, you, Luo Wen, Luo Xuan, and Du Ying will be the same as before."

"Yes."

"Go on. Since you’re coming back, you still need to let him know."

"Yes."

Du Yi bowed and took his leave.

From the moment Ye Qianning saw Sang Zhi, she had noticed several people hidden around him, and they weren’t the palace’s Hidden Guards. Over the years, he had also learned to cultivate his own forces. He was gradually growing up.

As Du Yi walked down the corridor, his throat bobbed with dryness, and his eyes grew increasingly red. He raised a hand to rub his eyes. He realized the Miss still trusted him. She had always trusted him.

"Oh ho, are you crying?" Du Ying leaned against the stairs, looking up at the person standing at the top.

"Who’s crying?"

"If you’re not crying, what’s wrong with your eyes?"

"I got some dust in them."

"Tch, stop pretending. Back when you chose to stay by the Eighth Prince’s side, Luo Wen and Luo Xuan didn’t want to hear your name for a long time. Now that you’re back to follow the Miss, shouldn’t you find them and grab a drink?"

"No need," Du Yi said coldly.

Du Ying curled his lips. "No need? I think if you don’t share a drink with them, those two definitely won’t forgive you."

"I don’t need their forgiveness." As long as the Miss trusted him, that was enough.

"Why are you so dense? Come on, let’s go." Speechless, Du Ying stepped forward, grabbed him, and dragged him toward the stairs.

"What are you doing?"

"You have to drink this time. It’s my treat." Du Ying felt that with Du Yi’s temper, the knot between them would otherwise fester for who knew how long.

"I’m not going."

Du Yi pulled his arm back and headed for the stairs on his own. Just as he reached the landing, he heard Luo Xuan’s voice coming from the first-floor hall.

"From now on, the affairs of the sect will be temporarily handed over to Luo Feng. For matters you can’t decide on, Luo Feng, you can send me a message via carrier pigeon."

"Sect Leader, I can’t do it." Luo Feng was panicked.

"Luo Feng, among everyone here, you were the first to complete your training and venture into the world. I think very highly of your conduct and your martial arts. I believe you will handle the sect’s affairs well." Luo Xuan patted his shoulder.

Luo Feng gripped his longsword tightly and couldn’t help but ask, "Sect Leader, why? Why do all three Sect Leaders have to leave the mountain?"

"Luo Feng, there are many things you don’t need to know. Your responsibility is to guard the Xianyue Sect."

"I don’t understand... I really don’t understand. Why is it that the Head Sect Master has returned but isn’t coming back to the Xianyue Sect, and the three Sect Leaders are leaving the sect too? Sect Leader... do you no longer want the Xianyue Sect?"

The moment Luo Feng said this, the other Xianyue Sect disciples were astonished. After exchanging glances, they all knelt on the ground.

"We beg the Sect Leader not to abandon the Xianyue Sect!" Dozens of people spoke in unison, panic in their eyes.

"We are not abandoning the Xianyue Sect," Luo Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Then why aren’t the Sect Leader and the Head Sect Master returning to the sect?"

Luo Xuan didn’t know how to explain it for a moment.

Luo Wen entered from outside and happened to hear this. He walked up to the crowd. "Luo Feng, the Head Sect Master isn’t just the Head Sect Master. She is the master that I, Luo Xuan, and Du Ying must protect."

Luo Feng was astonished, and the others were equally shocked.

"Many years ago, something happened. We failed to protect our master, leaving her heavily injured and on the brink of death. Now that she has returned, the road ahead is treacherous. We must protect her as she moves forward, and we will never let what happened before happen again!" Luo Wen’s voice was resolute and loud, fiercely declaring his determination.

Luo Xuan’s face was also filled with absolute resolve.

At the second-floor landing, Du Yi tightly gripped the handrail. He would definitely not let the events of that year happen again.
