When Xuanji arrived at the West Tower, the red flush on her face was still there. She was holding the soft and beautiful jade flower hairpin with one hand, and her heart seemed to be in a state of blissfulness, but there was also a strange stirring in her heart.

Suddenly, she felt Yu Sifeng’s grip on her hand, she felt a tremor in her heart and looked at him timidly. He smiled slightly, eyes warm and loving, like spring water, after a while, softly said: “It’s beautiful.”

The red flush that had not yet faded for a long time was overflowing again because of his words, and even her neck became red.

“Uh…this, this…” She was so incoherent that she didn’t know what she was going to say. Fortunately, he wasn’t listening to her, so she suddenly turned her head and looked forward.

Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief, finally not so embarrassed. Following his gaze, she saw an old two-story house standing at the end of the street. Only this house is the tallest one in the whole street, and it is the only one with glazed roof tiles, and although they are all dilapidated, but the atmosphere was still there.

This must be the old Xi residence that the boss talked about, and if you want to go to Fuyu Island, you have to come here first. Xuanji saw several people standing in front of the mansion wearing white and red trimmed clothes, the uniforms of the disciples of Fuyu Island, so she said, “Let’s go over and see if we can get some information.”

Yu Sifeng held her back, “Wait, those people seem to be saying something.”

He took Xuanji and hid in an alley, stretched his ears to listen to what they were saying, and heard someone crying.

One of them whipered, “Today, Yongqing and Shu Feng were also expelled by the Master … … It seems the Master is determined to drive us away, I’m afraid returning is only a delusion.”

This caused everyone to sigh, and after a while, another person choked up and said, “Master and Madam have raised us up, and we have yet to repay their kindness, yet such a thing has happened… Who has angered Master? It must be the one who was first driven out.”

One man whispered, “Brother Chifeng was the first to be thrown out…but what did you do?”

Immediately someone said, “Don’t talk nonsense! I’ve done nothing to offend the Master! That day I was late for practice and missed dinner, but when I turned around, my master threw me out! I…….I would never do anything that would betray my Master!”

“But after you, disciples have been driven out. Think carefully about what you did that day.”

The young man, Chifeng, was red in the face, but forced by the people staring at him, could only seriously recall, “That day, Master had just taught me the stunning sword technique, and I practiced it for a long time in the arena, and before I knew it, it was getting dark. I was afraid that I would be late and Master would be worried, so I took a short cut through the back garden and ran into the Madam. I thought he was angry that I was late, so I rushed back to the disciple’s room, who knew … … the next day … he wrote a mandate! …expel me…from the school…”

At this point, he was already choked with sobs, and everyone could not find words to comfort him, so they just sighed.

When Xuanji and Yu Sifeng heard this, they understood what was going on. It seems that Dongfang Qingqi must have known about his wife’s behavior, but perhaps he didn’t know who her lover was yet, so in his anger he drove away anyone who was close to his wife.

He drove away people in such a reckless manner, which is not only embarrassing to the public, but it also hurts the hearts of his disciples. It is easy to see that when people are angry, reason is completely useless.

They looked at each other, nodded, and walked out together. Yu Sifeng walked over and arched his hands, “Greetings, everyone.”

The disciples hurriedly wiped away their tears and returned the greetings, “You’re welcome, you’re welcome. May I ask who are you two…?”

I am Yu Sifeng, a disciple of the LiZe Palace, and this is Miss Chu Xuanji, a disciple of the Shaoyang School. We came down from the mountain to train, and along the way we got some important clues that we couldn’t solve at the moment, so we came to see the Island Master. Please announce us.”

Some of the disciples knew that Xuanji was Chu Lei’s daughter, so they didn’t dare to be rude. “Ashamed to say … we cannot announce you. We are already…abandoned disciples of Fuyu Island.”

Yu Sifeng smiled and said, “Don’t be sad, everyone. Island Master is always a heroic and generous man. I think the expulsion is just an angry remark and will be withdrawn in a couple of days.”

They shook their heads and sadly said, “You don’t know, Master is determined this time…”.

Seeing that they were holding back tears, Xuanji felt sympathy for them and whispered, “Don’t be sad. If I can help, I will plead with Uncle Dongfang for you, begging him not to expel you…”

The men were moved and said, “If you can persuade the Master to take back the order, we will never forget this favor!”

“Uh … don’t. It’s nothing … ” Xuanji had never encountered such a situation before, so she hurriedly waved her hand, “I… I’ll try my best to persuade him.”

As for whether it will be successful or not, no one knows. For a proud man like him, It is only natural to not be able to stand the humiliation and unable to think straight. But how he would cope with it depended on his own character.

At that moment, these disciples led them into the old residence, filled out the visit form and asked the senior brother who was guarding the residence to send them to Fuyu Island.

When Xuanji saw that they had been abandoned and were still reluctant to leave, she said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Dongfang will definitely take you back. Don’t go far away. Wait here.”

The people bade them farewell, their eyes startled as they watched their swords fly up and blink into small black dots. They were still reluctant to disperse, as if Xuanji’s departure was their only hope.

Xuanji had never been to Fuyu Island before. She had heard from Ling Long that this place was full of exotic flowers and beautiful scenery, and she too had longed for it. Now that they have actually set foot on this land, they realize that the scenery here cannot be summed up by the words “beautiful” or “overwhelming”.

In front of the gates were two towering statues with golden dragons and auspicious clouds surrounding them, surrounded by the boundless azure sea, with an extremely wide view, and the golden sunlight spilling down without any obstruction dazzling the eyes with its golden glory.

Xuanji felt dazzled. No wonder her parents always said that she should go out and see more of the outside world, if she was always limited to the seven peaks of Shoayang Mountain, she could not see the magnificent scenery outside.

“The two of you, please come in. We’ll send you here.” The disciple who was leading the way bowed to them and said, “Go in the right hand side of the door, past the flower dock, is the main hall. Please wait a moment, the Master will be there soon.”

After saying that, he flew back to Fuyu Town with his sword. Seeing Xuanji staring at the gorgeous table in front of the gate, Yu Sifeng smiled and said, “It must be even more beautiful inside. The island is said to be beautiful, this is not even the main gate.”

Xuanji nodded her head and entered the gate with him. There was a line of six disciples in front of the gate, all of them bowed and let them in. Xuanji saw a white marble-paved avenue spreading as far as the eye could see, and various kinds of trees were planted on both sides. There is no winter or summer on the island, and the four seasons are as warm as spring, so the weather outside is cold and snowy, but here is lush greenery and the fragrance of birds and flowers, which is very pleasant.

The marble road soon extends into countless pathways, all paved with round black cobblestones. The two of them turned to the right as they were told, and after a moment’s walk, they saw a large flower dockyard across the path, with colorful flowers and countless butterflies flying on it.

After crossing the flower dock, there stands an exquisite building with an antique gray roof, snow-white walls, and two rows of flower beds in front of the door, filled with peonies of various colors, vivid and charming. Xuanji was almost blinded, but fortunately Yu Sifeng was there to guide her, otherwise she wouldn’t have known where to go by herself.

When the two disciples in front of the hall saw them coming, gave way and invited them into the hall. One of them went to inform the Master and the other brought two cups of tea.

Xuanji saw that the teacups were carved out of a whole piece of crystal and were crystal clear, but the tea inside was a pale ochre red color, and when she smelled it, it actually had a floral aroma.

The disciple saw Xuanji’s happy appearance and smiled, “Miss Chu, do you like our Fuyu Island’s flower tea?”

Xuanji nodded and said, “I’ve had flower tea before, but I’ve never had one with such a good taste. What kind of flowers are used to make this?”

The disciple said, as if enumerating his family treasures, “That’s a flower that only grows on Floating Jade Island, called Jade Snow. This flower never bears fruit. It blooms three seasons a year, but it will die at the end of the year and will bloom again the following year. At first, the disciples only thought that this flower tasted sweet, and never thought of drying it to make tea, but then the Lady Master came and taught us how to make tea from it. It nourishes the lungs and brightens the eyes.”

When he saw Xuanji’s bright eyes and white teeth, so naive and innocent, that he couldn’t help but feel good about it. He poured another cup for Xuanji and was about to talk to her for a while, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and immediately stood up respectfully and saluted, saying loudly, “Disciple pays his respects to the Head Master.”

The Island Master waved his disciples to leave and saw two young men and women standing opposite him, one of them was handsome and the other was elegant, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: “Are they Xuanji and Si Feng? It’s been four years. You kids have grown up!”

The two of them bowed together and said, “Greetings, Lord Dohngfang.”

“What’s the big deal? You used to call me Uncle Dongfang when you were little!” Suddenly, he looked around and wondered, “Didn’t Linglong, Minyan and the others come with you? Didn’t you go down the mountain together?”

After a pause, Yu Sifeng said, “It’s a long story,”
