Xiao Yuanshan's death meant Ye Weiming and Xiao Feng were bound by a blood feud. Because, saying Xiao Yuanshan's death was suicide would be better described as Ye Weiming driving him to death.
Before his great revenge was fulfilled, he could naturally resist desperately, leaving a useful life to avenge the innocent death of his wife.
But now that the mastermind Murong Bo is dead, Xiao Yuanshan's heart has no more obsessions since his revenge was completed. At this moment, he must consider Xiao Feng.
Actually, in the original description, Xiao Yuanshan's mindset only underwent a huge change after witnessing Murong Bo's death with his own eyes, leading him to be enlightened by the Sweeping Monk and thus entering the monastic life, away from worldly affairs.
And since he must consider Xiao Feng, he has to evaluate the current situation and the strength comparison between the enemy and us.
