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

Page 110

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong's eyes flashed with anger.

Normally, given his temper, he would have retorted, but he held back at this moment.

The old man in the green robe looked at him and said, "What's wrong with you, kid? Trying to find a place to reflect on your mistakes in your old age?"

As he spoke, the old man in the green robe looked at Linghu Chong with a hint of mockery and said, "The Cliff of Contemplation is a place where the Huashan Sect punishes its disciples. Even decades ago, no Huashan disciple came here as often as you. It seems you have repeatedly violated the sect rules."

This kid has been a regular at the Cliff of Contemplation since he was a child. He comes here whenever he has something to do, and the old man in the green robe is tired of seeing him.

The old man in the green robe sneered, "Back then, your grandmaster also made a mistake and spent three years and six months in seclusion here. You can be considered to be of the same lineage."

Linghu Chong looked both embarrassed and angry: "I can come whenever I want, what's it to you!"

After saying that, Linghu Chong realized what the old man in the green robe had said and asked in shock, "Who exactly are you? How do you know about my master's affairs?"

His grandmaster was Yue Buqun's master and the leader of the Qi Sect.

Yue Buqun once spoke about his master and mentioned this sentence.

The old man in the green robe sighed and said, "Don't you know my name?"

"what?"

Linghu Chong was bewildered.

The old man in the green robe gestured towards the cave at the Cliff of Contemplation.

Linghu Chong didn't react at first and was still a little confused, but the next second his expression turned to shock.

"Are you Grandmaster Feng?"

Feng Qingyang put one hand on his hip, raised an eyebrow, and smiled. A gust of wind blew, making his white hair and green robe flutter.

"Not too stupid."

……

Ning Zhongze and Cheng Buyou finally returned with the Huashan disciples. After descending the mountain, they went straight to Hanzhong Prefecture, but found no trace of Jiang Ning. They then began searching around Hanzhong Prefecture, but still found nothing.

Just as Ning Zhongze and Cheng Buyou were planning to expand the search area, Yan Songnian and several Huashan disciples found them and told them that Jiang Ning had returned to Huashan. They had just returned when Jiang Ning arrived.

Knowing that they were on their way up the mountain, Jiang Ning waited at the mountain pass early in the morning, and it wasn't until noon that he saw Ning Zhongze, Cheng Buyou, and the other Huashan disciples.

"Disciple greets Master's Wife and Martial Uncle Cheng."

Jiang Ning bowed to Ning Zhongze and Cheng Buyou.

Ning Zhongze appeared weary from the journey, but the worry in his eyes finally subsided after he saw that Jiang Ning was safe and sound.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Ning Zhongze chuckled.

Cheng Buyou nodded with a serious expression.

Jiang Ning said, "I am so sorry to trouble you and my master's wife to come down the mountain to find your disciple. I am so sorry to have troubled you and my master's wife."

"It doesn't matter."

Before Ning Zhongze could speak, Cheng Buyou spoke up.

His tone was serious and rigid, just like his personality.

Ning Zhongze laughed and asked, "Where is your master?"

Jiang Ning said, "It's up ahead."

Yue Buqun, Feng Buping, and the other Huashan disciples waited in the open space ahead, while Jiang Ning waited with Liu Zhao at the entrance of the mountain path.

Ning Zhongze smiled and nodded, then looked at Liu Zhao beside Jiang Ning and said, "This is the disciple you took in Sichuan, right?"

When Lu Dayou brought Liu Zhao up the mountain, he only briefly mentioned Liu Zhao's matter. Afterwards, Ning Zhongze hurriedly went down the mountain to find Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, the initiation ceremony was held a few days ago."

He then looked at Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao understood and immediately knelt down to pay his respects: "Grand-disciple greets Grandmother and Grand-uncle."

Ning Zhongze smiled and helped Liu Zhao up: "Get up quickly."

Whether it was because she loved Liu Zhao because of his family, or because he was the only third-generation disciple of the Huashan Sect, she liked him more and more the more she looked at him.

"Ah."

Cheng Buyou nodded in agreement.

"Come on, let's go in."

Ning Zhongze led Liu Zhao inside, with Jiang Ning following behind.

"Senior brother."

A voice sounded behind him.

Jiang Ning turned his head and saw Lin Pingzhi speaking.

He also received information that Jiang Ning had killed Yu Canghai and his disciples, and had even retrieved the property belonging to the Lin family for him. He was extremely grateful to Jiang Ning.

After learning that Jiang Ning was hunting down Ren Yingying, he insisted on going down the mountain with Ning Zhongze to find Jiang Ning. He was most serious about finding Jiang Ning after going down the mountain, and he didn't sleep for several days just to find Jiang Ning. In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Lin Pingzhi choked up as he spoke to Jiang Ning, about to kneel down, but Jiang Ning stopped him.

Jiang Ning smiled at him and said, "A man's knees are worth gold; don't kneel."

After saying that, Jiang Ning pulled Lin Pingzhi up and said, "The valuables that Yu Canghai took from your house are still in my house. Come with me later and I will return them to you."

Lin Pingzhi wanted to shake his head upon hearing this.

For him, the hatred for his parents was irreconcilable; apart from that, the wealth was unimportant.

"Let's go."

Before Lin Pingzhi could speak, Jiang Ning walked ahead and caught up with the group.

Seeing this, Lin Pingzhi quickly followed.

Not long after she left, Ning Zhongze met Yue Buqun and Feng Buping, who were already waiting for her.

"Senior Brother Feng."

Ning Zhongze nodded to Feng Buping, then looked at Yue Buqun. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed something was wrong with Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun's face was pale, devoid of any color, and his body was so thin that he looked as if he would collapse at the slightest breeze. Ning Zhongze rushed forward, her eyes filled with worry: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yue Buqun chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Ning'er encountered many fierce battles this time when he went down the mountain, and his body was left with hidden injuries. I used up some of my true energy to treat his injuries."

Jiang Ning said with shame, "I've troubled Master."

Yue Buqun waved his hand with a smile: "It's alright, it's alright."

Ning Zhongze felt very sorry for Yue Buqun when she heard this.

Although Yue Buqun spoke so casually, his expression looked anything but good.

He must be putting on a brave face.

"Since you're not feeling well, don't wait for us here. It's nothing serious, just get some rest."

Ning Zhongze said with heartache.

A faint smile appeared on Yue Buqun's pale face: "It's alright."

As he spoke, Yue Buqun coughed softly twice, appearing frail and weak.

Ning Zhongze, disregarding the presence of others, quickly took Yue Buqun's arm and said, "Alright, Senior Brother, let me take you back to your room to rest."

Yue Buqun was about to say something more, but Ning Zhongze pulled him away without saying a word, so he had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.

Seeing the loving scene between the couple, Feng Buping and the other Huashan disciples seemed a little uneasy, looking around nervously.

"Junior sister, I haven't been feeling well these past few days, I might..."

On the way, Yue Buqun was whispering with Ning Zhongze.

"Senior brother! Your health is the most important thing. You should rest well during this time. I will take good care of you."

Ningzhongze Dao.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun breathed a sigh of relief. When Ning Zhongze wasn't looking, he couldn't help but smile, but then quickly concealed it, afraid of being seen.

……

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Grand Uncle."

"So? Do you believe me now?"

"I believe it, I really believe it."

Chapter 158: Yue Buqun must have gotten incredibly lucky!

Feng Qingyang half-squatted down, pressing Linghu Chong's head down with one hand, pinning him to the ground, a slight smile on his face.

Linghu Chong was bruised and battered, with black eyes, and his sword was lying to the side.

"hehe."

Feng Qingyang chuckled and released his grip. Linghu Chong scrambled to his feet and stumbled back several steps.

Feng Qingyang stood up and stretched, startling Linghu Chong so much that he reflexively took a step back.

"Life lies in movement, that's absolutely true. I feel much better after exercising."

Hearing this, Linghu Chong felt as if he had been humiliated, but he dared not say anything.

"Grand-disciple Linghu Chong greets Grand Uncle Feng."

Linghu Chong knelt down and said respectfully.

Feng Qingyang chuckled and said, "You don't consider me a member of the Demonic Sect anymore?"

Linghu Chong looked embarrassed and quickly shook his head: "No, no."

He thought Feng Qingyang was lying to him and planned to use a trick to ambush Feng Qingyang, but this is what happened, and he got a beating.

Every move he used in the Huashan sword technique was seen through by his opponent, and he was then brutally beaten by the same moves. Even when he switched to sword techniques from other Five Mountains Sword Schools, he was still completely outmatched by the Huashan sword technique.

Only the senior members of the sect could possess such mastery of the Huashan sword technique and know the history of their sect.

"hehe."

Feng Qingyang looked at Linghu Chong, who was kneeling obediently on the ground, with the same smile on his face and a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Although Linghu Chong was completely outmatched in the fight just now, his strength was truly top-notch, and it's rare to see someone of his age with such strength.

In today's martial arts world, those who have reached first-class strength are basically all over forty years old, none of them are under forty. Linghu Chong's ability to have such strength in his twenties is indeed a testament to his talent.

Moreover, this kid is adaptable and will use any means to win. When he is beaten down, he will deliberately show weakness and then immediately launch a counterattack and sneak attack as soon as he lets go. This kind of unconventional and flexible personality suits his taste very well.

Of course, every time Linghu Chong did this, Feng Qingyang beat him even harder.

Seeing Feng Qingyang's smile, Linghu Chong felt embarrassed.

That beating was for nothing.

If he had known that the old man in front of him was really Feng Qingyang, he wouldn't have been so stubborn, and he got beaten up for no reason.

"Get up."

Seeing that he was still kneeling on the ground, Feng Qingyang told him to get up.

"Yes."

Linghu Chong answered honestly, stood up from the ground, and accidentally pulled on the part of his body that had just been hit, causing him to grimace.

Upon seeing this, Feng Qingyang simply smiled.

After pausing for a while, Linghu Chong asked, "Has Grandmaster Feng been living in seclusion here all along?"

Feng Qingyang nodded gently: "Yes, it's very quiet here, no one bothers me, it's just that you come here so often, it's so annoying."

Linghu Chong felt awkward, so he changed the subject: "Since Grand Uncle is at Mount Hua, why doesn't he return to the sect? I'm sure my master would be overjoyed to see Grand Uncle."
