The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

Ren Yingying.
Is that girl Ren Yingying?
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but be surprised at this moment.
Below these letters were several reply letters from the saint to Hu Anyu.
After Jiang Ning opened it and took a look, he became more certain of what he was thinking.
These replies stated that the Divine Cult needed a large amount of money recently and asked Hu Anyu to raise money quickly. However, it seemed that the money Hu Anyu raised was insufficient or for some other reason. One of the last two letters scolded Hu Anyu for his inadequate work, and the last letter wrote that the Saint Lady would come to Xiangyang in person and ask Hu Anyu to welcome her.

Holding these letters, Jiang Ning’s face was expressionless.
He looked at the silver notes in the box, which added up to 20,000 taels. Add to that the house deeds outside, which were worth about 30,000 taels, and the total amount was more than 50,000 taels.
These are all the belongings of Hu Anyu.
Jiang Ning walked out of the dark room with the banknotes and envelopes. The maid was still waiting outside.
“Are there any other dark rooms here?”
Hearing Jiang Ning’s question, the maid quickly shook her head.
“I do not know.”
This was normal. She was just a maid and she knew about the secret room in the study by accident. Jiang Ning just asked casually.
When Jiang Ning and the maid returned to the open space they had been to before, Liang Fa and other Huashan disciples were still guarding the maids and the Iron Palm Sect’s disciples.
“Brother, did you find anything?”
Seeing Jiang Ning coming back, Gao Genming came over and asked.
Jiang Ning put the banknotes and letters into his arms.
Jiang Ning nodded.
“We found some letters inside, as well as 20,000 taels of silver.”
Gao Genming’s eyes widened.
Twenty thousand taels?
Jiang Ning ignored his reaction and looked at the people in the open space not far away and said to the maid: “Is the person who owes you money in there?”
“Uh-huh.”
The maid nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and pointed her finger at a burly man in the crowd.
“it’s him!”
The sturdy man who was called was shocked and didn’t know what was going on. Especially when he saw Jiang Ning walking towards him, he became even more panicked.
Everyone nearby dodged away.
“You…what are you going to do?”
Seeing Jiang Ning approaching him, the sturdy man swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling slightly.
Jiang Ning looked at him and asked, “You owe her twenty cents?”
He pointed at the maid.
“what?”
The sturdy man looked confused for a moment, then came to his senses and nodded hurriedly.
“Yep.”
Jiang Ning said: “Give her the money back.”
The sturdy man was stunned, and nodded quickly: “Yes, yes.”
Then he hurried to the maid, took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and put them in the maid’s hand without counting them, then turned back and smiled flatteringly at Jiang Ning: “I have already paid it back.”
Jiang Ning didn’t even look at him and asked the maid, “Is the number correct?”
The maid was stunned at this moment. She didn’t expect Jiang Ning to really help her get the money back.
Hearing Jiang Ning’s question, the maid came to her senses and counted the copper coins in her hand. Her eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly at Jiang Ning.
“Yes, yes, there is still five cents more.”
“Just consider it as interest.”
Jiang Ning didn’t ask her to return the five cents.
“…”
“…”
When Lu Dayou, Gao Genming and other Huashan disciples and the maids saw this scene, they were all stunned.
What’s going on?
After finding out in the final questioning that these maids and the disciples of the Iron Palm Sect didn’t know there was any secret room, Jiang Ning, Lu Dayou and others took these maids and disciples back to the inn.
On the way, Liang Fa couldn’t help but ask Jiang Ning why he didn’t kill all these disciples. Those maids were okay, after all, they were just servants and were unlikely to follow the Iron Palm Sect to do anything harmful to the world. But these disciples were different, it would not be excessive to kill them all.
He was angered by the fate of the women he saw in the brothels.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Brother, you hate evil, I admire you.”
“These people may all deserve to die, but is there really one person among them who doesn’t deserve to die? What if there is even just one person?”
Liang Fa, Lu Dayou and others fell into deep thought.
“Hey, why did that person suddenly help you get your money back?”
At this time, a maid whispered to the maid who had taken Jiang Ning to the study.
The other maids also looked at her curiously.
The maid then told her entire conversation with Jiang Ning.
The others were stunned.
When Jiang Ning returned to the inn, he found a Huashan disciple standing at the door of the inn. After seeing their large group, the disciple hurried over and said to Jiang Ning, “Junior brother, Master has been waiting for you for a long time. He told you to go to his room when you come back. He has something to tell you.”
Jiang Ning was just about to talk to Yue Buqun. After hearing what the Huashan disciple said, he nodded and said, “I see. Thank you for telling me, Senior Brother.”
After saying that, Jiang Ning walked into the inn and found that the first floor of the inn was full of people, most of whom were rescued brothel girls, and some were their family members.
When they saw Jiang Ning coming in, they all knelt down before him.
“Thank you for rescuing us.”
“If it weren’t for you, we don’t know when we can see the light of day again.”
“Thank you for saving my daughter. I kowtow to you.”
“Woooooooo…”
These people spoke one after another, were very emotional, and some even started crying.
“It doesn’t have to be this way.”
Jiang Ning didn’t know how to deal with this scene, so he had to ask them to get up first, as he had something to discuss with Yue Buqun.
After saying this, Jiang Ning walked straight towards Yue Buqun’s room.
“Master.”
Arriving at Yue Buqun’s door, Jiang Ning knocked gently.
“come in.”
Yue Buqun’s voice was heard from inside.
Jiang Ning pushed open the door and found Yue Buqun standing by the window, looking out with his hands behind his back.
After hearing Jiang Ning push the door, Yue Buqun turned around and looked at him.
“You did the right thing this time.”
Yue Buqun first affirmed Jiang Ning’s behavior, and then said: “But you must be careful when you travel alone in the future. Things like today must not happen again. There are powerful forces behind these secular people. You alone cannot defeat them.”
Originally, Yue Buqun thought that Linghu Chong was already troublesome enough, but since Jiang Ning came down the mountain, the stimulation he brought to him was greater than that caused by Linghu Chong.
The most that Linghu Chong would do is quarrel with the people in the martial arts world and beat them up, but Jiang Ning would just massacre them at every turn. Although this was right, it was too horrifying.
Is there any disciple who would chop down a whole street as soon as he comes down the mountain?
It has only been a short time since he came down the mountain, but he has done more and more serious things. Although a second-rate master has basic self-protection ability when traveling in the world and will not die as long as nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Ning is really courting death. Yue Buqun is really afraid that Jiang Ning will die in public one day.
Yue Buqun suddenly felt that each of his disciples was more capable of causing trouble than the other.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Master, don’t worry. I know what I am doing.”
Of course he knew all this, but because Yue Buqun and the disciples of Huashan Sect were in Xiangyang, he just did it. If he encountered such a thing again when he was traveling alone in the future, he would definitely save them, but he would definitely be extremely cautious.
“Ah.”
Yue Buqun nodded. He was reassured about this point. Jiang Ning really knew how to act in moderation.
“Did you find anything after you went to the Iron Palm Sect?”

Jiang Ning said: “In addition to finding some silver deeds, we also found letters of collusion between Hu Anyu and the Demon Cult.”
While talking, Jiang Ning took out the banknotes and letters from his arms.
“what?”
Yue Buqun was somewhat surprised: “Hu Anyu is colluding with the Demon Cult?”
Jiang Ning nodded and said, “Master, do you remember that strange maid I told you and Master’s wife about during the day?”
