The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Qu Yang had nothing to say.

……

"It's a pity that Ren Woxing wasn't killed by Dongfang Bubai. Someone as ambitious as him should be buried."

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong had already left Pingding Prefecture. Linghu Chong kept shaking his head along the way, feeling very sorry that Ren Woxing hadn't died at the hands of Dongfang Bubai.

"It would be even better if Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai had perished together, then the demonic path would have lost two great demons. What a pity."

Upon hearing Linghu Chong's words, Jiang Ning smiled but did not reply.

"Junior brother, shall we head straight to the capital now?"

Linghu Chong asked.

"Hmm, what's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Jiangning Road.

Linghu Chong said, "Since we're already here and not far from Hengshan, why don't we visit Master Dingxian at Hengshan first, and then head to the capital?"

Jiang Ning asked curiously, "Why would Senior Brother suddenly think of going to Hengshan?"

It's not far from Hengshan, but it's still several hundred miles away. Why would this kid want to go to Hengshan for no reason?

Could this kid be after Yilin from the Hengshan Sect...?

?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and looked Linghu Chong up and down.

Linghu Chong didn't know why Jiang Ning's gaze was a little strange, making him feel uncomfortable, but he still said matter-of-factly, "After all, we are allies with the Hengshan Sect. Since we are not far from Hengshan, we might as well go and pay a visit. It won't make a difference if we spend a little more time."

Is that all?

Jiang Ning looked Linghu Chong up and down and found that Linghu Chong didn't seem to be lying.

"What Senior Brother said makes sense. It would be good to pay a visit to the Hengshan Sect."

Seeing that Jiang Ning also agreed, Linghu Chong was overjoyed.

He had been craving Shanxi Fenjiu for a long time. In the past, he could only drink it at a restaurant in Xi'an. Now he wanted to taste whether the local Shanxi Fenjiu was more authentic.

Don't let my junior brother see this!

Linghu Chong thought to himself.

Hengshan is located within Datong Prefecture. Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong rode horses for several days and arrived in Datong Prefecture.

Datong Prefecture was one of the nine important border towns of the Ming Dynasty. The city walls within its territory are clearly different from other cities in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, with mottled walls bearing the marks of time.

Upon entering a town, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong discovered a number of Hu people, who were not commonly seen in the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

They were not far from Hengshan, and Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong decided to rest for the night before setting off again tomorrow.

As Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong walked along the town's streets, they found the local customs and atmosphere quite different from those in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, which amazed Linghu Chong.

Jiang Ning planned to find an inn to stay in first, but Linghu Chong insisted on exploring the town first. As the two strolled around, they suddenly noticed a commotion not far ahead, which attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"Hmm? Something's going on?"

Linghu Chong loved watching a good show, so he darted over in a flash.

Jiang Ning followed, and at that moment, voices from the crowd could be heard.

"Spare your life, spare your life."

"If I see you stealing again, I'll chop your hand off!"

First came a male voice, followed by a female voice.

Jiang Ning also squeezed into the crowd to watch, and when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In the center of the crowd, a man was lying on the ground begging for mercy. A nun stepped on the man's back and said sternly. Another nun was standing next to him.

The nun next to her was extremely beautiful; even her bald head couldn't hide her charm.

Yilin?

Chapter 534: A Few Punches and Kicks

These two nuns were actually from the Hengshan Sect, and even Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong knew them.

Zheng E and Yi Lin.

I didn't expect to run into two people here.

Judging from the situation, it seems that the person was caught stealing by the two.

Neither of them noticed Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong in the crowd. Zheng E looked stern, while Yi Lin remained the same, looking pitiful. She stood behind Zheng E and whispered.

"Senior sister, since he has already admitted his mistake, let's give him another chance. Don't chop off his hand; that's too cruel."

Zheng E had only intended to threaten him and hadn't really meant to chop off the man's hand, but upon hearing Yilin's words, she couldn't help but feel helpless.

Her junior sister is truly innocent and kind.

"roll!"

Zheng E gave a soft shout, and the man scrambled away.

Linghu Chong was also very happy to see the two of them, and after seeing that the matter was over, he shouted loudly.

"Junior Sister Yilin, Junior Sister Zheng'e!"

Zheng E, who was about to speak to Yilin, suddenly heard someone calling her and Yilin, and turned around with a surprised look on her face.

"Brother Linghu!"

Yilin shouted happily and instinctively ran towards Linghu Chong.

Zheng E also asked in surprise, "Senior Brother Linghu, Junior Brother Jiang? What a coincidence! What brings you to Datong Prefecture?"

"My junior brother and I were traveling around the martial world, and when we came to Shanxi, we took the opportunity to visit Uncle Dingxian and you all at Hengshan."

Linghu Chong smiled and then looked at Yilin.

At this moment, Yilin looked at Linghu Chong with a gleam in her eyes, as if she had something to say, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Did you two senior sisters come here for something?"

Jiang Ning asked.

Zheng E said, "Yilin and I went down the mountain to buy food on our master's orders, and we happened to encounter that thief committing theft here."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Senior Brother Linghu, Junior Brother Jiang, since you're planning to come to Hengshan, why don't you come with us? We've already done our shopping and are about to head back soon."

Zheng E said.

Hearing her words, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong exchanged a glance, and Jiang Ning nodded, saying, "Alright."

Although he had planned to rest in this small town for one night, since Zheng E had said so, he decided not to.

Yilin looked at Linghu Chong, her emotions seemingly agitated, but she couldn't say a word. However, her emotions were almost overflowing, which Jiang Ning could clearly see from the side.

Just as the four were about to leave, several more people suddenly surrounded Jiang Ning and his companions.

"Oh, there's such a pretty little nun?"

These people, judging from their clothes and appearance, are not ordinary people. They have a lewd look on their faces and are obviously thugs.

One of them looked at Yilin's face with shining eyes, wishing he could make his move right now.

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong didn't react much to this scene, but Zheng E seemed somewhat helpless, as if she had already gotten used to it.

Without saying a word, Zheng E prepared to take action.

"This is none of your business. Get the hell out of here, or I'll break your legs!"

Some thugs started yelling at Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong.

Zheng E, who was about to make a move, was taken aback.

Whose leg are you going to break?

Jiang Ning remained expressionless upon hearing this, but Linghu Chong smiled.

interesting.

"Oh? You want to break our dog legs?"

Just as Linghu Chong was about to say something lewd, a tall monk in the distance saw the scene and flew into a rage, especially when he saw one of the thugs very close to Yilin. His lewd grin spoke volumes.

"You bastard, how dare you lay a hand on my daughter?"

The monk let out a thunderous roar that echoed through the street. When the thugs turned around, they saw a tall and strong monk charging towards them like a cannonball. He was incredibly fast and reached the thug next to Yilin in just a few breaths.

"you……"

The thug was so frightened that he barely managed to utter a single word before the monk in front of him grabbed him and threw him against the wall with tremendous force. The wall shattered the moment his head hit it.

The monk acted swiftly and decisively, tossing the thug aside before turning his attention to the other thugs, who screamed in agony.

The monk lifted up the thugs and threw them out like sandbags, but the difference between them and sandbags was that their heads would explode, while sandbags wouldn't.

In the blink of an eye, these thugs met their untimely deaths.

"Hmph! You dare lay a hand on my daughter?"

The senior monk still wore an expression of rage.

Oh?

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong exchanged a glance. Linghu Chong stepped forward and asked, "Senior, who are you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the monk turned to look at Jiang Ning and the other man.

"I forgot about the two of you."

After saying that, the monk grabbed at Linghu Chong without asking any questions.

"This……"

Linghu Chong was startled and wanted to speak, but the monk attacked too quickly, so he had to parry first.

The situation changed so quickly that the group didn't have time to react. It wasn't until they saw the monk attacking Linghu Chong that Zheng E and Yilin hurriedly shouted.

"Master Bujie, please stop!"

"father,!"

These two words made Jiang Ning, who was about to make a move, stop.

However, Bu Jie did not stop. He was now in a state of rage and was not listening to anything Linghu Chong was saying. He kept attacking Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong did not draw his sword. Given that the monk might be from the Hengshan Sect and Yilin's father, he did not fight seriously and only passively parried, saying that it was a misunderstanding. However, Bujie did not hold back and did not listen to Linghu Chong's words. He attacked heavily, and in just a few moves, Linghu Chong was about to be unable to defend himself and was about to be injured by Bujie.

Jiang Ning, who witnessed this scene, narrowed his eyes and ignored it. The next second, he rushed over and blocked Linghu Chong's path, knocking away Bujie's attack with one hand.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning appear before him, Bu Jie let out a cold laugh.

"Looks like you're quite capable too."

Jiang Ning didn't say a word, his face was a little gloomy, and he was too lazy to explain, so he took action directly.

Bu Jie threw another punch, which was the Luohan Fist from Shaolin Kung Fu.

Jiang Ning didn't back down and directly swung his fist to meet the punch.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Bu Jie was jolted back a few steps, and at that moment he felt his arm go numb and sore.

Jiang Ning did not retreat during the previous exchange of blows, and now he stepped forward and threw another punch.

At this moment, Bu Jie, who was shocked as to why this hoodlum had such high martial arts skills, had no time to think. Seeing this, he was not willing to be outdone and exchanged blows again.

Another muffled thud. Jiang Ning didn't move an inch, while Bu Jie was knocked back again. Before he could catch his breath, Jiang Ning stepped forward and threw another punch.

This time, Bu Jie's face turned red. He refused to believe it and still wanted to throw punches at Jiang Ning, but he switched to his other hand. His previous hand already felt like it was about to be ruined.

boom!
