Linghu Chong’s eyes lit up even more.

He hadn’t had enough fun outside, but Yue Lingshan felt a little scared because they had beaten up Hou Renying and Hong Renxiong from the Qingcheng Sect, so she urged Linghu Chong to come back.

It’s such a wonderful thing that I can go out and play again as soon as I get back.

Junior brother, well done!

Linghu Chong silently gave Jiang Ning a thumbs up in his heart.

Looking at this group of lively disciples, Yue Buqun also smiled, but did not stop their behavior.

Jiang Ning looked surprised, wondering how things turned out like this.

Does Yue Buqun have money to take his family out for a trip?

From the time he entered Huashan until now, the entire sect has only gone on a large-scale tour twice. One was when he was ten years old, and the other was when Yue Buqun felt that he was too much of a homebody and wanted to take him down the mountain for a tour. These were the two times in total, and there was no more than one.

Jiang Ning didn’t go the first time, but the second time he had no choice but to be dragged out by Gao Genming, Liang Fa and others.

I won’t talk about the experience of that trip.

To say that it was a budget trip was a decent statement, as the life there was really like surviving in the wild.

They lived in a dilapidated temple and ate game that their disciples had hunted in the mountains. They saved money wherever they could, but sometimes they still couldn’t afford the travel expenses and had to cross the mountains on foot. In the end, they just toured Shaanxi and came back. If they had gone farther, they might not even have enough money for the return trip.

Is Yue Buqun poor?

Of course they are not poor, the Huashan Sect is poor.

Is the Huashan Sect poor?

poor.

Very poor.

The kind that is so poor that it smokes.

All the disciples of the Huashan Sect exude a sense of poverty, including Linghu Chong.

Yue Buqun would sometimes give these disciples pocket money, but it was not much. Even Linghu Chong sometimes did not even have one or two taels of silver on him.

Although Yue Buqun himself was not poor, he had to support a large family of the Huashan Sect, dozens of people, all of whom practiced martial arts, so the consumption was even greater.

These dozens of people made him very tight on finances. He had to save as much as possible in his daily life. He even washed and sewed his clothes over and over again, and was reluctant to change them.

Logically speaking, a famous sect like the Huashan Sect should not be so poor. Even though it has no property of its own, the tuition fees it receives from taking in disciples can be considered an income.

However, most of Yue Buqun’s disciples came from poor families and had no money to pay tuition. Some were even beggars, such as Du Lanyin, and some were orphans, such as Linghu Chong.

Where would someone like Du Lanyin get the money to pay the dowry? Before entering Huashan, she had to beg for food.

With Huashan’s current economic situation, Yue Buqun still wants to travel. Has he become rich overnight?

Jiang Ning shook his head and said, “Please forgive me for not being able to travel with Master, Master’s Wife, and my fellow brothers and sisters.”

The cheers of Gao Genming and others paused.

Yue Buqun frowned and asked, “Why?”

Liang Fa advised sincerely: “Junior brother, it would be better for you to stay with us, so that we can take care of you even if something happens.”

Jiang Ning already has an excuse.

“My disciple’s trip down the mountain to see the world is secondary. The most important purpose is to train myself and break through the bottleneck.”

“If I were with Master and my fellow brothers and sisters, with your protection, my life would not be in danger, but there would be no meaning in going down the mountain. In this case, what difference would there be between being on the mountain and being at the foot of the mountain?”

Jiang Ning went down the mountain mainly to look for Xiantian Gong, as it was inconvenient for him to move with Yue Buqun and others.

He also made up his mind that if he couldn’t find the Xiantian Gong in the Tomb of the Living Dead in Zhongnan Mountain, he would travel all over the country, looking for traces of those magical skills and seeing the world at the same time.

The experiences he told Yue Buqun were not entirely false.

Lu Dayou, Gao Genming and others were silent.

Yue Buqun pondered in silence, with hesitation in his eyes.

It’s not that he disagreed, but Jiang Ning had never traveled far before, and he was afraid that something might happen to Jiang Ning if he didn’t have anyone to accompany him on his first long journey.

Seeing Yue Buqun in deep thought, Linghu Chong’s eyes rolled, and he felt that he had guessed Yue Buqun’s thoughts, so he volunteered to step forward and speak.

“Master, since Junior Brother wants to practice on his own, why don’t you let me accompany him down the mountain? This way I can take care of him. Normally, I will never help Junior Brother unless he is in danger. Junior Brother can practice however he wants, and I guarantee nothing will happen.”

Linghu Chong held his head high and patted his chest.

Yue Buqun didn’t even look at him and just treated his words as nonsense.

Among his disciples, only Jiang Ning was reliable and ambitious. If Linghu Chong took Jiang Ning out and he came back to do all kinds of eating, drinking, gambling, and smoking, he would definitely skin Linghu Chong alive.

“Alright.”

Yue Buqun said to Jiang Ning, “It’s a good idea for you to have this idea. I have no reason not to support you. Since you want to experience it alone, then go ahead. It’s not like Huashan out there. Remember to be careful and cautious after you come down the mountain. Think twice before you act. If you are wronged out there, don’t act impulsively. Find out the other party’s strength. If the other party is powerful, be patient for now. Come back and tell me, and I will go to their house to seek justice for you.”

“Although our Huashan Sect is not as strong as before, we will not allow our disciples to be wronged by others outside.”

Chapter 20: The Cliff of Repentance

“Yes, Master.”

Jiang Ning nodded his head and said yes.

Linghu Chong on the side became anxious.

If he went down the mountain with the Huashan group to play, Yue Buqun would definitely control him, which would make him feel uncomfortable.

“Master, I…”

Before Linghu Chong could finish his words, he saw Yue Buqun glance at him sideways. The meaning in his eyes scared him so much that he dared not say anything.

“Humph!”

Yue Buqun snorted coldly, and then asked Jiang Ning: “Since you have decided to go down the mountain alone, when do you plan to leave?”

Jiang Ning thought about it.

“Tomorrow.”

Better sooner rather than later.

Yue Buqun nodded and said nothing.

“That’s right, Master.”

Jiang Ning said at this time: “Before I leave the mountain, I have a request that I would like Master to grant.”

Yue Buqun looked at him in confusion.

“what’s up?”

“I want to go up to the Cliff of Repentance and take a look.”

Linghu Chong was stunned.

What’s so good about that shabby place? He goes there so often that he’s tired of it.

Yue Buqun became more and more confused.

“What are you doing there?”

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “I want to take another look at the beautiful scenery of Huashan before I go down the mountain. I have seen all the scenery of Huashan since I came here, but I have not been to the top of the Jade Maiden Peak. Besides, I have often heard about that place from my senior brother, but I have never had the opportunity to see it.”

I don’t know why, but Linghu Chong always felt hurt when he heard these words.

That means he has a lot of opportunities, right?

Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Yue Buqun glared at Linghu Chong, then frowned and said, “What’s so good about that place? Don’t listen to Chong’er’s nonsense. He is usually lazy and has a erratic personality. He likes to say crazy things.”

Linghu Chong: …

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “That’s what I said, but I’ve often heard Senior Brother mention it. Now before I leave, I want to see what’s so special about it that makes Senior Brother linger so much.”

Linghu Chong’s eyes widened.

What does it mean to linger?

Junior brother, why are you still so mean?

Hearing this, Yue Buqun glared at Linghu Chong fiercely.

Linghu Chong felt like crying but had no tears.

Yue Buqun said helplessly: “Since you want to go, then go ahead.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

The purpose is achieved.

Yue Buqun glared at Linghu Chong again and said in a cold voice, “You go to the Cliff of Repentance often, so you are familiar with the road there. Take Ning’er with you later.”

Linghu Chong: “…Yes.”

When Yue Buqun mentioned Siguo Cliff, he seemed to remember something and said to Linghu Chong, “You went down the mountain without permission this time, disobeying Master’s order. After you come back from this trip, I will punish you to face the wall at Siguo Cliff for half a month.”

Linghu Chong widened his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.

However, Yue Buqun did not go to see him at this time. Instead, he said to the Huashan disciples, “Go back and prepare yourself. When I have booked the itinerary and vehicle, we will set off in three days. This time we are going to Xiangyang. I heard that there will be a flower and lantern festival in Xiangyang on the 15th of next month. It will be very lively. Let’s go there for fun.”

“Alas!”

The Huashan disciples shouted loudly, their faces full of excitement, and rushed forward to surround Yue Buqun, chattering and asking what the Xiangyang Lantern Festival was like, whether it was fun, and what delicious food was available.

The noise made Yue Buqun feel overwhelmed.

Ok?

Jiang Ning, who was squeezed out by the crowd, was a little surprised.

Did Yue Buqun really become rich after his trip?

This is across provinces, and they are still ordering vehicles. When has Huashan ever been so wealthy?

What did he go out for this time?

“Let’s go, little junior brother.”
