Yan Zhaoge looked at Feng Yunsheng and smiled lightly, "Have you ever thought that if it weren't for her existence, even if you lost your Taiyin Body back then, the Great Sun Holy Sect wouldn't have given up on you so easily? They would definitely have tried more efforts to help you recover."
Feng Yunsheng smiled, "I haven't really thought about it, but it's an obvious fact. However, it has nothing to do with Xiaowan herself."
Yan Zhaoge asked with interest, "You are older than Meng Wan, so you must have entered the sect earlier and had a higher cultivation level back then, right?"
"Were you the Great Sun Holy Sect's first choice for the Taiyin Trial back then?"
Feng Yunsheng nodded frankly, "Yes, before I left the mountain, I was already at the Master level, while Xiaowan was at the Subtle level."
"She probably just barely broke through to the Master level right before the first Taiyin Trial."
She glanced at Yan Zhaoge and said irritably, "I know what you're thinking, but my loss of the Taiyin Body and entering the hellish danger zone has nothing to do with Xiaowan."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "She and you might indeed have a deep bond, but bringing me here to save you could also be out of guilt and a desire to make amends."
"Or perhaps, as a beneficiary, she is showing a high moral stance, gaining satisfaction by helping you?"
Feng Yunsheng smiled, "I don't habitually assume the worst of others, but I don't deny that the possibility you mentioned does exist."
"However, I trust Xiaowan." The last sentence was said with a calm expression but a firm tone.
Yan Zhaoge smiled and changed the topic, "But, is she so certain that your Taiyin Body cannot be restored?"
"Is she sure she won't send a Taiyin girl to Guangcheng Mountain to compete with her for the Taiyin Crown?"
"That would be like aiding the enemy, and she would do it."
Feng Yunsheng said calmly, "Because she is confident."
"Regardless of whether other holy lands add more Taiyin girls."
"Xiaowan is confident that she can win back the Taiyin Crown for the Great Sun Holy Sect."
"So even if I recover, she will only be happy for me because I will be more valued by Guangcheng Mountain."
"But the Taiyin Crown belongs to her, belongs to the Great Sun Holy Sect."
"That is her confidence."
Hearing this, Yan Zhaoge's mind conjured up the image of a bright and delicate girl with a pair of pitiful eyes.
The first winner of the Taiyin Trial, the first official owner of the Taiyin Crown after its appearance in the world, was none other than Meng Wan of the Great Sun Holy Sect!
According to Feng Yunsheng's speculation, she was probably just stepping into the Master level at that time.
Feng Yunsheng's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, "Don't look at that girl's gentle and weak appearance; she is actually very smart and strong."
"Whether it's the Taiyin power she possesses or her martial arts talent, she is a super genius."
"I was chosen back then because I entered the sect earlier and had a longer cultivation time."
"But if we had started from the same point, I wouldn't have been confident in having the upper hand."
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "That's a good point, but doesn't it also mean that Meng Wan didn't have a sure win over you?"
Feng Yunsheng raised an eyebrow, "I don't overestimate myself, nor do I underestimate myself."
Yan Zhaoge said indifferently, "Unfortunately, Meng Wan lost the second time."
In the second Taiyin Trial, Meng Wan narrowly lost, and the Taiyin Crown fell into the hands of a disciple from the Water Domain Holy Land, Bihaicheng.
Feng Yunsheng's expression remained calm, "I've heard about it. It was because shortly before the competition, Xiaowan had just activated the Taiyin Crown to fight a Flame Demon King in the East Sea."
"She participated in the second trial with an injury."
"By the time the third Taiyin Trial comes, she will show the world that as long as she is fine, the Taiyin Crown will not fall into others' hands."
"Moreover, a phoenix that has been reborn from the ashes will shine even brighter."
Feng Yunsheng's tone was calm, as if she was just narrating a very ordinary matter.
Yan Zhaoge looked at her, and a smile slowly spread across his lips, "This applies to Meng Wan, but isn't it also true for you?"
Feng Yunsheng was completely open, "Even if Senior Brother Yan really has a way to restore my Taiyin Body, I am now far behind Xiaowan."
"I can't say for sure that I can catch up with Xiaowan, but I will do my best to seize this precious opportunity."
"Guangcheng Mountain took me in when I was in the greatest danger. No matter the reason, I will repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water."
"No more empty words, I will do everything in my power."
Regardless of the reason, when she faced the threat from the Great Sun Holy Sect disciples, Yan Zhaoge beat Xiao Sheng and Chao Yuanlong to a pulp, clearly showing his stance.
As for whether Yan Zhaoge's personal stance represents Guangcheng Mountain, Feng Yunsheng doesn't need to think too much about it; she just needs to follow Yan Zhaoge's arrangements.
Yan Zhaoge was in a good mood and had some ideas about Feng Yunsheng's Taiyin Body, but he still needed to plan.
Although it further offended the Great Sun Holy Sect, a Taiyin girl is undoubtedly a huge gain for Guangcheng Mountain.
If this merit is confirmed, it will greatly benefit Yan Zhaoge and even his father, Yan Di.
Yan Zhaoge looked at the sky, "Let's go."
Everyone set off together. Yan Zhaoge gave continuous instructions, and several black-robed masters nodded in agreement, dispersing to send messages.
Although he had taken responsibility for the matter, there were still some people Yan Zhaoge needed to notify immediately, such as his father and the current head of Guangcheng Mountain in the Eastern Continent, the Eastern Continent Elder.
This matter is not trivial; it is far more serious than just beating up Chao Yuanlong and the others in the Dragon Suppressing Abyss. The Great Sun Holy Sect's reaction will undoubtedly be much more intense.
Xiao Sheng and the others fled, and there will definitely be follow-up actions. The sooner Guangcheng Mountain gets the news, the better for handling the situation.
In addition, Yan Zhaoge specifically mentioned the reason for Feng Yunsheng's Taiyin Body being damaged, instructing someone to notify another holy land, Bihaicheng.
Among the major holy lands, the relationship between Bihaicheng and the Great Sun Holy Sect is extremely poor.
Based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the relationship between Guangcheng Mountain and Bihaicheng is quite good, almost like allies.
The Taiyin girl from Bihaicheng is the winner of the second Taiyin Trial and Meng Wan's biggest competitor in the upcoming third Taiyin Trial.
The various holy lands have never stopped plotting against each other's Taiyin girls.
Yan Zhaoge has never trusted the integrity of the Great Sun Holy Sect, so he decided to give Bihaicheng a heads-up to avoid being deceived.
As they walked through the mountains, Yan Zhaoge suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart and looked into the distance.
The thunderous sound of the waterfall could not drown out the voices of some people.
Yan Zhaoge looked from afar and saw a group of people standing by the waterfall, divided into small groups, seemingly in a standoff.
"Is that Zhao Yuan?"
Zhao Yuan is the eldest son of the Eastern Tang Kingdom's ruler and is also familiar with Yan Zhaoge.
With him were the third prince, Zhao Sheng, who is closer to the Eastern Tang's chief elder, Yan Xu.
However, both Zhao Yuan and Zhao Sheng were looking at a young man with unfriendly expressions.
The young man looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a face that bore a slight resemblance to the Zhao brothers, dressed in royal attire but much simpler compared to Zhao Yuan and the others.
