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

Page 266

Yue Buqun smiled and nodded, without saying anything.

"Master and Mistress, Senior Uncle Tianmen."

At this moment, Jiang Ning also came down from upstairs.

He had been watching from upstairs until Tang Ying'e left before coming down.

"Ah."

Yue Buqun nodded and smiled, "It's nothing. You saw it just now, right? People from Songshan sent someone to invite us to go up the mountain ahead of schedule."

"I saw it."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Yue Buqun didn't say much about that, but instead asked with concern, "Why did you wake up so early? How did you rest? There's nothing much going on these past two days, you can go upstairs and get some more rest."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master."

He did want to rest a little longer.

Since there was nothing else to do here, Jiang Ning bowed to the group and went upstairs.

"Master is so gentle with his junior brother."

A Huashan disciple standing to the side said, his expression somewhat dazed.

Yue Buqun was not like this with them normally. He was very strict with them, like a strict father. Usually, the questions he asked them were whether they had been lazy or if they had any questions about their training. He would never ask them anything else, let alone ask them whether they had slept well.

"The difference in Master's attitude towards junior brothers and senior brothers is so great."

One of the Huashan disciples couldn't help but whisper something.

The other Huashan disciples around him couldn't help but glance at Linghu Chong, who was also standing not far away. Some of them couldn't suppress their smiles.

If Yue Buqun was like a strict father to them, then he was utterly indifferent to Linghu Chong, even a dog would shake its head in disbelief.

Originally, under Jiang Ning's persuasion, Yue Buqun's attitude towards his disciples was not as strict as before, and he was much kinder to Linghu Chong.

But ever since the last time Linghu Chong was yelling and screaming outside, and Yue Buqun chased him all over Mount Hua with a stick, his attitude towards Linghu Chong has returned to what it was before, or even stricter than before.

The rules were so strict that when Linghu Chong visited Yue Buqun the next day, he was scolded by Yue Buqun for entering the door with his left foot first.

Chapter 354: Emei Sect and Hengshan Sect

During this period, they had been training Linghu Chong to be extremely cautious, and they often saw him with a wronged expression on his face, like a little wife.

Now that they've seen Yue Buqun's attitude towards Jiang Ning, they can't help but want to see Linghu Chong's expression.

"Master is so good to his junior brother."

Linghu Chong's eyes welled up with tears at the sight.

Seeing Yue Buqun's attitude towards Jiang Ning, and thinking about Yue Buqun's attitude towards him, Linghu Chong couldn't help but pout. But the next second, seeing that many of his junior brothers were secretly looking at him, he quickly adjusted his expression and appeared very calm and collected.

"Big brother."

At this moment, Linghu Chong's fingers twitched slightly, as if someone was pulling on his hand.

Linghu Chong looked down and saw that it was Yue Lingshan pulling him.

"what happened?"

Linghu Chong said in a low voice.

"Father is probably still angry that you embarrassed him at Mount Hua last time. He'll be fine in a while."

Yue Lingshan comforted her.

"I know."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong smiled.

Looking at Yue Lingshan's face, he felt a warmth in his heart.

The two stood right behind Ning Zhongze, and naturally, Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan's whispers did not escape her ears.

Listening to the two whispering, Ning Zhongze didn't say anything on the surface, but a smile appeared on her lips. However, her gaze fell on Yue Buqun, and the next second her brows furrowed slightly.

Yue Lingshan was her daughter. Although Linghu Chong was a disciple of Huashan, he was essentially her adopted son. It was a good thing for her that her adopted son and daughter were in love. In addition, Linghu Chong was not young anymore, and Yue Lingshan was almost twenty. They were both of marriageable age. Ning Zhongze originally wanted the two to become a couple, but Yue Buqun did not react at all. He seemed to be in no hurry and did not make any gesture. Ning Zhongze did not know what he was thinking.

Ning Zhongze had previously discussed this issue with Yue Buqun, but Yue Buqun always smiled and remained silent, saying that he had his own plans, so Ning Zhongze did not pursue the matter further.

But if this drags on any longer, Ling Shan will be a grown woman.

Ning Zhong frowned.

She needs to find some time to ask Yue Buqun.

Incidentally, there's also Jiang Ning's life-long marriage.

After going upstairs, Jiang Ning lay on the bed and dozed off for a while, but found that he was no longer sleepy, so he sat down to meditate on the bed.

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, feeling his innate internal energy flowing through his body.

A moment later, a pure white gas was exhaled from Jiang Ning's nose and swirled around his body.

Four hours later.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes, and the pure white gas disappeared.

Jiang Ning got out of bed, stretched his body, and felt much more relaxed.

"Not even close."

Jiang Ning remained calm, muttering to himself.

He can now clearly feel that he is only a thin membrane away from the fourth level of the Innate Skill, within reach. As long as he breaks through the membrane, he will immediately break through the realm, but he still feels that he is just a little short.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Senior brother, the Hengshan Sect has arrived."

Lin Pingzhi's voice came from outside the door.

"Arrived already?"

Jiang Ning looked at the sky and realized that it was already afternoon.

"Yes, we've arrived."

Lin Pingzhi nodded repeatedly.

"The Emei Sect has also arrived, along with the Hengshan Sect. My master sent me to call you down."

Emei Sect?

Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised, but still nodded.

"okay, I get it."

Upon hearing that the two factions had arrived, Jiang Ning left his room and went straight to the main hall, where he met Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, Tianmen Daoist, and others.

"Master and Mistress, Uncle Feng, Uncle Tianmen."

Jiang Ning bowed to Yue Buqun and the others.

"Ah."

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "Your Uncle Mo and the Emei Sect members will be arriving soon. Come with me to greet them."

"Yes."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Jiang Ning followed Yue Buqun and the others out of the inn and headed straight for the county entrance. Before they even left the county, they saw a large group of hundreds of people coming from afar. Jiang Ning could tell from their clothes that they were from the Hengshan Sect and the Emei Sect.

Two people were leading the way in front of the group, one of whom was Mr. Mo Da.

"Sect Leader Yue, it's been several months since we last met. How have you been?"

Mr. Mo, with his sharp eyes, had already spotted Yue Buqun waiting there, and immediately said with a smile.

At this time, his figure was still hunched, but his face was rosy and he looked much better.

"I am well, Mr. Tomo is concerned."

Yue Buqun also went up to greet him, smiling broadly.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Mo."

Tianmen Daoist also spoke up.

After exchanging pleasantries with Yue Buqun and Tianmen Daoren, Master Mo introduced the nun who was traveling with him.

"Sect Leader Yue, this is the current Sect Leader of the Emei Sect, Abbess Qingzhu."

Mr. Mo explained, "We met on our way here, so we traveled together."

Yue Buqun then looked at a female nun.

"This humble nun, Qingzhu, greets Sect Leader Yue and Daoist Tianmen."

A female nun greeted Yue Buqun and Tianmen Daoist with a smile.

This person is none other than Abbess Qingzhu, the current head of the Emei Sect.

Upon seeing this person, Yue Buqun and Tianmen Daoist showed no disrespect and immediately returned the greeting.

"I, Yue, have met the Abbess."

"This humble Taoist greets the Abbess."

After exchanging greetings, Yue Buqun smiled and said, "Thank you for your sect's help in resolving the crisis for my Huashan Sect last year. Please accept my bow, Master."

After speaking, Yue Buqun was about to bow again.

"Sect Leader Yue, there's no need for such formalities."

Master Qingzhu said, "When Huiyin went to Mount Hua, the Emei Sect and the Mount Hua Sect were already allies. It is our duty to help your sect in times of trouble."

After saying that, Abbess Qingzhu smiled and said, "This humble nun must thank Headmaster Yue for being willing to testify for our Emei Sect. Without Headmaster Yue's strong support, it would be even more difficult for us to take back the Emei Sect."

Yue Buqun also laughed and said, "Your sect is fully capable of taking back the Emei Sect. I am just speaking in front of my fellow martial arts practitioners. I have no right to offer my full assistance."

Master Qingzhu's expression turned serious: "No, Sect Leader Yue's support is the most important thing."

Seeing Master Qingzhu's serious expression, Yue Buqun was at a loss for words.

He was just being polite.

"By the way, has the Hengshan Sect arrived yet?"

At this moment, Mr. Mo interjected and asked.

He did not meet anyone from the Hengshan Sect.

Yue Buqun nodded: "The Hengshan Sect should arrive tomorrow."

Mr. Mo was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that the Hengshan Sect was the last to arrive, but he didn't expect them to arrive even later.

"By the way, is this benefactor Jiang Ning?"

Abbess Qingzhu suddenly looked at Jiang Ning and spoke.

"Junior Jiang Ning greets Abbess."

Jiang Ning bowed.

Master Qingzhu smiled and said, "I have heard of you before; you are indeed a heroic young man."

"You flatter me, nun."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

Master Qingzhu said nothing more and turned to look at Yue Buqun.

"Sect Leader Yue, Junior Sister Qingxu and the others already told me what happened when they returned from Mount Hua last time."

Master Qingzhu said, "I never expected that Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect would have such ambitions as to annex the Five Mountains Sword Sects. If Zuo Lengchan wants to take advantage of this Five Mountains Alliance Leaders Conference to annex the Five Mountains Sword Sects, Sect Leader Yue, rest assured, the Emei Sect will not stand idly by."
