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

Page 592

Over the past few years, the Huashan Sect's sphere of influence has expanded significantly. Now, the entire Shaanxi province is under the Huashan Sect's influence, reaching the level of its heyday, and it is still growing stronger.

In recent years, the Huashan Sect has recruited several batches of disciples. In addition, those disciples who were recruited before but did not meet the age requirements have also entered the sect. The total number of Huashan Sect members has now exceeded one thousand.

The prosperity of the Huashan Sect delighted Yue Buqun. Two years ago, Yue Lingshan gave birth to a daughter, and Yue Buqun became a grandfather. His two-year-old granddaughter was carried around Huashan by Yue Buqun every day.

Yue Buqun is now enjoying the bliss of family life, with the Huashan Sect having returned to its peak, or even surpassed it, and his granddaughter doting on him.

"Grandpa!"

The two-year-old girl pointed at the fruit on the tree and kept shouting in her tender voice.

"Okay, Grandpa will get it for you!"

Yue Buqun quickly responded, then flicked his finger and unleashed a burst of internal energy, breaking the tree branch and causing the fruit to fall.

Yue Buqun flicked his sleeve and then opened his palm to his granddaughter, where the fruit was in his hand.

“Awei, look.”

Two-year-old Awei clapped her hands and giggled happily.

"Grandpa, you're amazing!!"

Seeing his adorable granddaughter, Yue Buqun's face was practically creased with laughter.

Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan named their daughter Zhaowei. Zhao means to illuminate and observe clearly, while Wei means subtle and hidden. Yue Buqun named his granddaughter Zhaowei in the hope that she would be intelligent and thoughtful in the future, unlike her father Linghu Chong, who was like a big monkey.

Although Linghu Zhaowei was Yue Buqun's granddaughter, Yue Buqun treated her like his own granddaughter, showering her with all his affection.

When Linghu Zhaowei was born, Linghu Chong said he wanted her to take the surname Yue so that Yue Buqun could continue his family line, but Yue Buqun rejected the idea.

Since ancient times, only sons-in-law who marry into the wife's family have allowed their children to take their wife's surname. Linghu Chong is her eldest disciple, whom she has watched grow up since childhood. They are no different from her own son. He is not a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family. Moreover, it was Yue Lingshan who married Linghu Chong. Why should Linghu Chong be wronged?

Linghu Chong, being an orphan himself, didn't care about these things, but Yue Buqun took them very seriously.

In fact, Yue Buqun had only one lifelong wish: to carry forward the Huashan Sect. He did not place too much importance on the continuation of the sect's lineage.

And even if his granddaughter doesn't have the surname Yue, then she's not his bloodline?

He is still a descendant of Yue Buqun.

Seeing Xiao Awei's happy expression, Yue Buqun smiled, but there seemed to be a hint of regret deep in his eyes.

If Yue Buqun still has any regrets, it's about Jiangning.

For Yue Buqun, Jiang Ning may not be his biological son, but Jiang Ning holds a more important place in his heart than his biological daughter Yue Lingshan. Though not his biological son, he is more like one to him than a biological son.

Now his daughter and his eldest disciple have happily married and given birth to a lovely daughter, but Jiang Ning, whom Yue Buqun values ​​most, remains single. This is an unresolved issue for Yue Buqun, who is a traditional parent.

Yue Buqun tried several times to persuade Jiang Ning that now that Jiang Ning's innate skill had been perfected, no one could rival him, and since there was no such thing as ascension in the world, Jiang Ning could consider getting married, even if his martial arts progress slowed down.

But Yue Buqun hesitated for a long time and still did not go.

The reason is simple: Yue Buqun knew Jiang Ning's character; his heart wasn't in it.

"Ugh."

Yue Buqun sighed almost imperceptibly.

But Xiao Awei noticed this sigh.

Little Awei blinked her bright eyes and looked at Yue Buqun curiously.

Is Grandpa unhappy?

Yue Buqun composed himself, smiled again, picked up little Awei, and said with a laugh, "How did little Awei know?"

Little Awei tilted her head and looked at Yue Buqun, handing him the fruit in her hand.

"Grandpa ate it, the fruit was sweet, and Grandpa was happy."

"Hahahaha, okay."

Yue Buqun laughed heartily. Despite his somewhat obsessive-compulsive tendencies, he didn't mind that his granddaughter had nibbled on the fruit. He took a bite and nodded as he ate.

"It's so sweet."

Seeing Yue Buqun's smile, Xiao Awei giggled again.

At this beautiful moment of family bliss, a disciple of Mount Hua rushed over, looking flustered.

Yue Buqun noticed the disciple and frowned.

"Songnian, what's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

Only then did the Huashan disciple notice Yue Buqun and quickly bowed.

"Master."

Yue Buqun waved his hand, put Xiao Awei down, and looked at the Huashan disciple with a frown, asking.

"What's the matter?"

The Huashan disciple dared not conceal the truth and replied repeatedly.

“Master, some people want to go to Mount Hua to write a letter in blood to the sect leader to complain that my Mount Hua sect members oppress the people and have driven several people to their deaths.”

Chapter 804: Overcorrection is necessary to correct a wrong.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun's expression immediately changed, and he said sternly.

"what happened?"

As soon as he spoke, Yue Buqun realized his tone was inappropriate, especially with Xiao Awei still standing beside him.

Yue Buqun lowered his head to look at Xiao Awei and said softly, "Awei, why don't you go find your mother?"

Little Awei was already quite familiar with Mount Hua, and it wasn't far from where she was staying. Little Awei nodded obediently, waved to Yue Buqun, and then ran off with her short legs.

After Xiao Awei left, Yue Buqun's face darkened, and he asked, "What happened?"

The Huashan disciple named Songnian quickly recounted what had happened.

Yue Buqun's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened.

The Huashan Sect has developed rapidly in recent years, especially with the tacit approval of the imperial court. Both its influence and its businesses have expanded to other places.

The person who came to Mount Hua to lodge a blood feud was a commoner from Anyang County. One of the lay disciples of Mount Hua, who was in charge of the Mount Hua sect's properties in Anyang County, had cunningly seized the commoner's land and property, driving the commoner's parents to suicide.

The commoner had nowhere to turn to for help, and the local county government dared not interfere with the affairs of the Huashan Sect. Other sects and martial arts figures also dared not intervene after hearing that the person was a disciple of the Huashan Sect. With nowhere else to turn, the commoner traveled thousands of miles to Huashan to file a petition.

After hearing the general outline of what happened, Yue Buqun's face turned ashen. He asked, "Has it been investigated? Is it true?"

Song Nian shook his head: "It's not clear yet. These people only arrived at Huashan today. There was no news from Anyang County before."

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun asked again, "Where are the people now?"

Song Nian quickly replied, "He's at the foot of the mountain, and we've already sent someone to settle him in."

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "You go first."

"Yes, Master."

Song Nian bowed respectfully and then proceeded to his residence in Jiangning.

Yue Buqun then went down the mountain to the place where the commoner was being settled.

……

at the foot of the mountain.

A man who had traveled all the way from Anyang to Mount Hua to file a blood oath was sitting anxiously inside the house awaiting the outcome.

"I hope that the Heavenly Venerable is truly as the legend says, hating evil as if it were his enemy and not tolerating even a speck of dust in his eyes. Otherwise, my parents' grievances will truly have nowhere to be redressed."

The man muttered to himself.

While he was waiting, after an unknown amount of time, the door was suddenly opened and several Huashan disciples walked in.

The arrival of the group made the man nervous, but he quickly bowed.

"I have met several great heroes."

A disciple of Mount Hua smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We heard that your family suffered a mistreatment, and the sect leader instructed us to come and visit you."

The man was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"So, Your Majesty the Celestial Venerable already knows about my affairs? Does Your Majesty the Celestial Venerable wish to see me?"

Another Huashan disciple laughed and said, "The sect leader is busy with countless affairs and has no time to deal with your matter. He just asked us to handle it after he heard about it."

The commoner hesitated upon hearing this, but the Huashan disciple noticed his hesitation and said, "What? You've already brought this to Huashan, are you afraid we won't handle it impartially? Besides, the sect leader already knows, so why are you worried?"

Upon hearing this, the commoner was relieved and nodded, saying, "Whatever you heroes want me to do, I will do my best to cooperate."

Seeing his expression, the Huashan disciples finally relaxed. One of them laughed and said, "Let's go. This is not the place to talk. We'll take you to another place, and you can tell us the whole story there."

The commoner did not suspect him, nodded and prepared to leave, but at that moment a voice came from outside.

Where are you taking him?

Yue Buqun walked in, his face grim.

Upon seeing Yue Buqun, these Huashan disciples were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.

"Master."

Yue Buqun looked at them.

"Did the sect leader send you?"

"Master... this..."

The group was flustered and had not expected Yue Buqun to come. When faced with Yue Buqun's question, they stammered and could not answer.

Yue Buqun, still unaware of what was happening, let out a cold snort.

"You lot, come with me to Mount Hua to see the sect leader."

Upon hearing the words "Sect Leader," the group's expressions changed drastically, but they dared not say anything and could only obediently follow him away.

Seeing this, the commoner knew what had happened. These people were not sent by Jiang Ning at all. When Yue Buqun asked him to go up Mount Hua together, he quickly followed.

……

Lobby.

The commoner knelt down immediately upon seeing Jiang Ning in the main seat.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to redress my grievances."

The man kowtowed and wept.

Jiang Ning stood up and helped him up, asking, "Have you seen me before?"

The man cried as he said, “A gentleman named Ji Wushi gave me your portrait and said that as long as I see you, I can clear my name.”

No plan can be devised?

Jiang Ning was surprised to hear Ji Wushi's name from these common people.

Jiang Ning's expression softened as he said, "What's your name? Tell me everything that happened in your family, and if you've been wronged, I'll stand up for you."

Only then did the commoner speak.

"My name is Liu Fusheng, and I live at home..."

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Ning remained calm and said to the people, "I know. You can go and rest now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fusheng hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, my family..."

"I will send someone to verify this. If it is true, I will seek justice for you."

Jiang Ning comforted her.

Liu Fusheng was relieved and left with a Huashan disciple, where he stayed on the mountain.

Yue Buqun, standing to the side, frowned and asked, "Ning'er, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Ning coldly said, "Immediately send people to recall all Huashan disciples in Anyang County, and at the same time, immediately interrogate the Huashan disciples who just contacted Liu Fusheng, and find out who else is protecting him besides them."

Yue Buqun nodded.
