The woman before him had withdrawn a wooden hairpin. The hairpin was very ordinary, and it was just one that had been crafted from ordinary wood. The reason Tang Ye lost his composure was that he recognized it. This hairpin was something he’d personally carved for his mother all those years ago. He’d carved two at that time, and he’d given one to Little Yao while he gave the other to his mother. This hairpin before him was the exact same hairpin he’d given his mother! The scenes of the past appeared within Tang Ye’s mind as he gazed at the hairpin. “Mother, this is for you. Once I’m older, I’ll definitely buy a real hairpin for you. Just like the one the Madam of the Liu Clan uses!” “Ye’er, mother likes this one that you made. I don’t like the hairpin that the Madam of the Liu Clan uses!” “Big Brother, Little Yao wants one as well....” “Alright, alright. Big Brother will make one for you right away. Just wait, I’ll be done in no time....” Tang Ye’s eyes gradually became wet. A short while later, Tang Ye calmed the emotions in his heart and raised his head to gaze at Feng Xiao. He said, “Who’re you!” Even though she was a member of the Flower Palace, he was sure that she had no ill intent towards him. Because she was someone his mother trusted, otherwise, it was impossible for his mother to hand this hairpin over to her! However, he didn’t let his guard down. Because it was always better to be safe than sorry! “I’m your mother’s junior sister!” Feng Xiao said, “All those years ago, we joined the Flower Palace together and became inner court disciples together. Her natural talent surpassed mine, so she would definitely become an Elite Disciple. Unfortunately, she met your father when she left the sect to temper herself, and then she’d doomed now!” “Why would my mother give that to you!?” asked Tang Ye.“Because I’m the person she trusts the most within the entire Flower Palace!” Feng Xiao walked slowly towards to Tang Ye. She immediately stopped moving when she saw Tang Ye’s vigilant expression and said, “You should be aware that I hold no ill intent towards you. Otherwise, if I were to have made a move while you fought Feng Li, then would you have any chance of surviving?” “You haven’t answered my question!” Tang Ye stared her in the eyes while another extreme-grade energy stone was already in his palm. Around 30% of his profound energy had already recovered during this time that they were talking. Even though he believed what she said, he refused to trust her completely. It should be said that so long as it was someone from the Flower Palace, then he wouldn’t truly trust that person! Feng Xiao shook her head when she noticed that vigilance still remained in Tang Ye’s eyes, and she said, “Fine, I can understand why you refuse to trust me. Your mother asked me to pass a message to you. She asked you not to save her. Just take your younger sister along, leave the southern territory, and never come back. Unless you attain the Monarch Realm, otherwise, you’re not allowed to avenge her. Otherwise, she will never forgive!” Tang Ye’s grasp on Dragonbone instantly tightened. A short while later, he glanced at Feng Xiao and said, “You can leave!” Feng Xiao frowned and said, “Your mother asked you to take your younger sister along and leave the southern territory! Could it be that you even refuse to listen to her? I know you want to rescue your mother, but are you aware of the Flower Palace’s resources and reserves? Don’t even think that you can shake the Flower Palace just because you can kill an Exalt Realm expert. Not to mention you, even the forces of the entire Sword Sect might not be sufficient to shake the Flower Palace. Don’t you think that you’re letting your mother down by not cherishing your life like this, even after she sacrificed herself to save both you and your younger sister?” When she spoke up to this point, Feng Xiao paused for a moment, and then her voice became gently as she said, “Your natural talent is the most monstrous I’ve even seen. Even if you can’t become an extraordinary expert like the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor in the future, your natural talent would definitely allow you to become....”“What’s the point of becoming an extraordinary expert like the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor at that time?” Tang Ye interrupted her and said, “It would be meaningless even if I become invincible throughout the world at that time. Because my mother would be died, right? Firstly, thank you for your concern, but I’ve made my decision, so you don’t have to persuade me. Because of my mother, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Stay far away from the Flower Palace because only death awaits you if you return there!” “What do you mean!?” Feng Xiao frowned. Tang Ye shook his head, and he didn’t speak another word. He just turned around and walked away. Right at this moment, Feng Xiao’s figure flashed and instantly arrived in front of Tang Ye. The profound energy within Tang Ye’s body surged as he said in a low voice, “What?” If she attacked, then the situation would be quite bad for him. Because less than 50% of his profound energy had recovered at this moment! However, he wasn’t afraid as well. After all, he had two Sword Servants! “Your mother instructed me that I can’t allow you to return to the southern territory, and I can use force if necessary!” Feng Xiao spoke in a low voice. “I don’t want to do that. However, I have no choice if you insist on returning to the southern territory.” “Just give it a try!” It wasn’t Tang Ye who spoke these words but An Nanjing. Tang Ye and Feng Xiao looked over towards the source of the voice, and they saw An Nanjing walking slowly towards them with Skysplit in her hand. Moreover, An Nanjing was carrying a human head with her left hand.
