Chapter 1459 - 1306: My Younger Brother Is the Villain 3
Afterward, Nie Jinglin and Nie Shuangshuang naturally joined forces to protect Feng Feiyu. However, in doing so, the dignity of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was compromised; for the son of the Sect Leader to have once been an Evil Cultivator was intolerable to righteous sects.Nie Jinglin and Nie Shuangshuang, as the Sect Leader and the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall respectively, could not uphold their positions if they themselves were not righteous. For the sake of Feng Feiyu, Nie Shuangshuang and Nie Jinglin both resigned from their positions.
The kindness Nie Jinglin and Nie Shuangshuang showed to Feng Feiyu somewhat alleviated his stubborn hatred, but Feng Feiyu still could not forget the grudges of his past life and secretly plotted his revenge.
However, Feng Feiyu’s obsessive nature was excessive; many of his enemies merely offended him and did not deserve death, yet he retaliated mercilessly. Eventually, his extreme actions led to him being besieged by members of all Immortal Sects.
In this life, Feng Feiyu was taught and guided in cultivation by both Nie Jinglin and Nie Shuangshuang. His exceptional talent meant his cultivation progressed rapidly, and his cultivation level was remarkable.
Furthermore, he received numerous protective Magic Treasures from Nie Jinglin and Nie Shuangshuang, resulting in heavy casualties among the Immortal Sect disciples who besieged him.
In the end, it was the elders with profound cultivation from the Hundred Ghosts Alliance, the Beast Taming Sect, and Feihua Valley, excluding the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, who personally joined forces to capture Feng Feiyu.
The result of that final battle was exceedingly tragic; Nie Jinglin and Nie Shuangshuang rushed to protect Feng Feiyu, and ultimately, Nie Jinglin died protecting him.
To preserve Nie Jinglin’s Divine Soul from dissipating, Feng Feiyu exhausted his vitality and scattered his own soul, leaving only Nie Shuangshuang to be rescued by Lingtian True Monarch, who interrupted his seclusion upon sensing his disciple’s peril.
This incident left Nie Shuangshuang with overwhelming regret. She rued not recognizing the abnormalities in her brother Feng Feiyu sooner and guiding him, which led him down a path of evil, ultimately harming others and themselves.
The unresolved knot in her heart prevented Nie Shuangshuang’s cultivation from progressing further, and she spent the rest of her life vanquishing demons and monsters, ultimately perishing alongside an ancient demon.
The timing of Nie Shuangshuang’s rebirth coincides with Feng Feiyu’s rebirth. He has just joined the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and is about to enter Nie Shuangshuang’s tutelage.
At this moment, Nie Shuangshuang is sitting in Dianfeng Hall of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, selecting disciples. Normally, she is not yet of the age to select disciples.
However, her cultivation is sufficiently advanced, and as the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, according to sect rules, anyone with a cultivation level above Golden Core is required to take on disciples.
If everyone chose not to take on disciples and focused solely on their own cultivation, a sect could not possibly sustain a continuous stream of talented individuals to carry on its legacy. Thus, taking on disciples is a responsibility, not subject to personal preference.
There are three types of disciples: Ordinary disciples of average talent need not require much effort, as the sect provides classes for these disciples to attend.
Generally, it’s sufficient to teach these disciples once a month. Another type is the Inner Sect Disciple, who is not merely a disciple but a true apprentice requiring the master’s attentive guidance in cultivation.
The last type is the Direct Disciple, whose relationship with the master is akin to that of a parent and child. The master imparts teachings with the utmost closeness and care.
In his past life, Feng Feiyu, owing to his good aptitude, was an Inner Sect Disciple under Nie Shuangshuang. However, Nie Shuangshuang’s aloof nature meant she was averse to taking on disciples.
Toward Feng Feiyu, she was merely responsible, teaching him his lessons regularly, and for the most part, allowing him to learn autonomously. As for whether Feng Feiyu had any inner turmoil or was happy, Nie Shuangshuang was entirely unaware.
This is Nie Shuangshuang’s regret — not having thoroughly instructed her brother from the start and failing to help him resolve his inner conflicts. Even recognizing Feng Feiyu, Nie Shuangshuang, and Nie Jinglin did not know how to interact with him.
Out of guilt and knowing the hardships Feng Feiyu had suffered, both Nie Jinglin and Nie Shuangshuang were eager to compensate for Feng Feiyu’s childhood sufferings.
Their method of compensation was to give Feng Feiyu whatever he desired, from Magic Treasures to Cultivation Techniques to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, piling them one after another into Feng Feiyu’s arms.
Their treatment of Feng Feiyu was genuinely good, but overly cautious, not daring to speak or touch him. Although Feng Feiyu acknowledged his father and sister, the inner knot remained untied, leading him to a tragic end.
In this life, Nie Shuangshuang is determined to prevent Feng Feiyu from going down that path again. There are twenty years until Feng Feiyu’s disclosure of his identity at the sect ceremony of the Four Great Immortal Sects.
During these twenty years, Feng Feiyu has always played the role of a thoughtful and obedient disciple, showing no abnormal behavior. Toward Nie Shuangshuang, he also displayed utmost respect and deference.
In her past life, Nie Shuangshuang always considered Feng Feiyu to be a very thoughtful and well-behaved disciple.
Therefore, though her demeanor was cold, Nie Shuangshuang still showed him a bit more care, dutifully teaching him in cultivation without reservation.
Unfortunately, for Feng Feiyu, Nie Shuangshuang’s distant guidance could not satisfy his obsessive nature. Nie Shuangshuang had analyzed that Feng Feiyu’s character was extremely distorted.
He undoubtedly harbored resentment toward Nie Jinglin and Nie Shuangshuang, but from later events, such as his willingness to scatter his soul to preserve Nie Jinglin’s and his continuous efforts to endear himself to Nie Shuangshuang for twenty years, it is evident he had affection and reliance on them.
Perhaps he delayed revealing his identity for twenty years and tried to ingratiate himself with Nie Shuangshuang subconsciously hoping his sister would care for and acknowledge him.
However, Nie Shuangshuang’s emotions were too restrained and aloof; such superficial kindness could not satisfy Feng Feiyu’s obsessive heart, leading to his eruption.
"Master Nie, you shall have the first choice of disciples this time."
Nie Shuangshuang was immersed in the memories of her past life, analyzing her brother Feng Feiyu’s character and considering how to resolve his inner knots when a gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.
It was Vice Sect Leader Pei Ling. Nie Shuangshuang’s father, Nie Jinglin, had gone to attend the millennial birthday banquet of the Beast Taming Sect’s Sect Master, invited by the Valley Master of Feihua Valley.
Therefore, the task of recruiting disciples for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect fell to Vice Sect Leader Pei Ling. All those required to take on disciples were gathered in Dianfeng Hall, seated in rows, distributing the disciples.
As the only daughter of the Sect Leader and the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, Nie Shuangshuang held a prestigious position. To show respect, Pei Ling allowed Nie Shuangshuang to choose disciples first.
Nie Shuangshuang’s gaze subtly scanned the group of young men and women before her, searching for the figure of Feng Feiyu, and she quickly located her target.
Feng Feiyu’s current demeanor was indistinguishable from others, head lowered, seemingly intimidated by Nie Shuangshuang’s gaze and presence.
Nie Shuangshuang’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. In her past life, during her initial encounter with Feng Feiyu, her lack of attention resulted in vague impressions. Now upon seeing him again, she realized Feng Feiyu appeared surprisingly frail.
