Ling Xiao ignored the anger of the Second Master, he looked directly into the eyes of the First Master, and said slowly: "Expell me from the Tianxiahui. Now that the matter is over, the Donghai Jiang family will soon find out the truth. I'm leaving

After the Tianxiahui, they have no reason to take action against the Tianxiahui."

The Grand Master was silent for a moment, looking at Ling Xiao deeply. He knew that Ling Xiao's decision was not impulsive, but was carefully considered.

Although the Tianxiahui is powerful, it will inevitably feel powerless when facing a behemoth like the Jiang family in Donghai. If Ling Xiao can really take on this responsibility, then expelling him from the Tianxiahui may really be a feasible solution.

However, the Grand Master also understood what this decision meant to Ling Xiao. He would be abandoned by the entire world and become a lonely person. But what he knew more clearly was that Ling Xiao was already prepared for this.

Willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the world.

Thinking of this, Da Zhangyuan sighed deeply, knowing that he had to make a difficult decision.

"Ling Xiao, you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself!"

The Third Zhangyuan eagerly interjected, his eyes full of determination, "It was the Jiang family of Donghai that did harm to you first. We all see it, and we can all testify for you. If the Jiang family really wants to go to war with Tianxiahui, we will then

, our Tianxiahui is not a soft persimmon to be slaughtered by others, it’s no big deal.”

As soon as the Third Zhangyuan finished speaking, the Fourth Zhangyuan also expressed its position: "The Third Zhangyuan is right! Our Tianxiahui's bones are not that soft, and our courage is not that small! If the Jiang family dares to invade, we will let them do it.

No reply!"

The Grand Master looked at Ling Xiao, shook his head and sighed: "Ling Xiao, it is true that you killed people from the Jiang family, but it was not your fault alone. We, as a whole, should face this together.

Challenge. The headmaster also said that we cannot give up on you unless we have to."

Ling Xiao looked at the three leaders and felt a warm current in his heart.

He shook his head and said firmly: "Three leaders, I appreciate your kindness. But you can't be too selfish. I caused this matter, and I must take responsibility for it. No matter who is responsible, I

Killing members of the Jiang family is an unchangeable fact. I don’t want to implicate the entire Tianxiahui because of this, let alone let my friends suffer because of me.”

"Don't think of me as too great." Ling Xiao smiled, and that smile revealed a helplessness and determination, "I'm not a hero, I just don't want my friends to suffer because of me."

His eyes swept over the faces of the four masters one by one, his eyes full of sincerity and gratitude.

"You have always been kind to me. I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart." He continued, "I know that sometimes you appear hesitant and cowardly when facing powerful forces, but that is just because

I understand the position you are in and the pressure you are facing, and I have never blamed you."

Listening to Ling Xiao's words, the corners of the mouths of the four masters twitched unconsciously. They all knew in their hearts that what Ling Xiao said was true.

As the leaders of the Tianxiahui, they are responsible for the safety and future of the entire sect, and they must take every step carefully. Facing a behemoth like the Donghai Jiang family, they really feel that they are powerless.

They all know that they cannot defend Ling Xiao. The Donghai Jiang family has already given them a headache, not to mention the more powerful Donghai Empress Palace and the Southern Territory Holy Church. If these forces join forces to deal with the world because of Ling Xiao,

Yes, the consequences would be disastrous.

The Second Master opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. Although he didn't like Ling Xiao in his heart, he had to admit that Ling Xiao was a responsible boy.

Although his words sounded a bit harsh, they were true words from the bottom of his heart. What else could he say? He could only look at Ling Xiao silently, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The four major courtyards all fell into silence. They knew that Ling Xiao's decision was not impulsive, but was carefully considered.

They all also understood that this was Ling Xiao's sacrifice to protect Tianxiahui and his friends. They could not stop Ling Xiao's decision and could only pray for him silently in their hearts.

"Everyone, as I am about to leave Tianxiahui, I have only one request." Ling Xiao's eyes swept over the four masters one by one, and his tone was firm and sincere, "Please protect my friends, I will not

I hope they will be implicated and harmed in any way because of me."

There was a complicated light shining in his eyes, which was the cherishment of friendship and the worry about the future. He knew well what kind of storm he was about to face, but he was more worried about those who fought side by side with him and grew up together.

Partners.

"By the way, my brother Jin Yan joined the Tianxiahui with a special status before, but I haven't seen him since I joined." Ling Xiao suddenly thought of Jin Yan, the brother with whom he had a deep friendship, "Where is he?

How is he doing now?"

When the Grand Master heard Jin Yan's name, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Jin Yan, who attracted much attention in the Tianxiahui and was accepted as a direct disciple by the Master, would actually be with Ling Xiao.

There is such a deep friendship.

"Jin Yan is your brother?" The Grand Master couldn't help but confirm, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Ling Xiao nodded, with a smile on his face: "Yes, he is one of my best brothers."

The Grand Master took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, Jin Yan is now with the Master and has become the Master's direct disciple. He has obtained the

With the best training and care, there won't be any problems."

His words were full of admiration and trust for Jin Yan, and also revealed his importance and commitment to Ling Xiao's request.

He understood the weight of Ling Xiao's worries and requests, so he solemnly made a promise that he would protect Ling Xiao's friends and prevent them from being harmed in any way.

"That's good, please keep it a secret." Ling Xiao took a deep look at the four masters, with a hint of entreaty and sincerity in his eyes, "Don't let outsiders know about my brotherly relationship with Jin Yan, and don't tell Jin Yan either.

The news that I am about to leave allows him to practice with peace of mind without being disturbed by the outside world."

He turned around, his eyes lingering on the buildings of Tianxiahui, and an indescribable nostalgia surged in his heart.

Although this was not his home, and although some people had a grudge against him, and even had no favorable impression of him when he first arrived, at this moment, he found that he had developed deep feelings for this land.

Tianxiahui, a place he once thought was just a passerby, has now become an inseparable part of his heart.
