“Love is exclusive, love is selfish, and love cannot be shared with others.”

Linghu Chong’s heart suddenly shook.

“me……”

Linghu Chong looked stunned and kept mumbling for a long time but couldn’t utter a word.

Jiang Ning knew that Linghu Chong had reacted upon seeing this, so he said nothing more and continued to regulate his breathing.

After all, Linghu Chong is not confident about his feelings for Yue Lingshan, and even has low self-esteem. He is too cautious, which makes him unable to see clearly and unsure about Yue Lingshan’s feelings for him.

After Jiang Ning’s words, Linghu Chong seemed to wake up from a dream.

Linghu Chong looked at Jiang Ning and found that his expression was still calm. He couldn’t help but say: “Junior brother knows a lot.”

Jiang Ning laughed when he heard this.

“Onlookers see things more clearly.”

Looking at Jiang Ning’s indifferent smile, Linghu Chong’s mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

After a while.

Linghu Chong spoke again.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Ning glanced at him and shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter.”

After getting the answer, Linghu Chong did not disturb Jiang Ning anymore, but sat on the other side.

The night passed.

The sky was already turning pale.

Jiang Ning stood up and went to the end of Qianchi Building to continue guarding.

At this time, there was still a burnt smell in the Qianchi Building, but it was much lighter than last night.

There has been no movement since the last wave of attacks last night, and the second half of the night was peaceful.

call out!

A sharp arrow shot up from below.

A new round of offensive began.

After yesterday’s fierce attack, the people below switched to long-range attacks.

However, because the Qianchi Tower was too high, the arrows fell down halfway. Some of the arrows that were shot were weak and Jiang Ning just hit them back casually.

That’s it?

Jiang Ning was slightly surprised; this was different from the attack he had expected.

“Brothers, Island Master Sima has already started a feint attack with a rain of arrows. We have to speed up.”

At the foot of the mountain, Ji Wu Shi said to the dozen or so men behind him.

These men all had ropes on their backs and had strong arms.

Ji Wu Shi had already gathered the men when daybreak came. These men were all experts in rock climbing. Ji Wu Shi took them with him to try out whether there was a road behind the North Peak.

Walking all the way to the foot of the back mountain, a man couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the towering cliff.

“How to climb here?”

“Stop talking nonsense and get up quickly.”

The other men had already untied the ropes and started looking for a climbing point.

Looking at these men, Ji Wu Shi said something.

“Everyone, it’s up to you whether you can find a way out from here. If you do find one, don’t alert the enemy.”

These men heard this and said.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ji.”

After saying that, they all started to climb up.

……

North Peak, Back Mountain.

Yue Buqun has been sitting here for a whole night, and everything has been calm here.

“Dad, are they really going to climb up from here?”

Yue Lingshan on the side couldn’t help but say something.

She doubted how she could climb such a steep cliff.

Yue Buqun said calmly.

“Since Ning’er said they might climb from here, we can’t let our guard down.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan couldn’t help but curl her lips and make a tut sound.

Yue Buqun’s attitude towards Jiang Ning is even more like that towards her as his own daughter.

“What are you mumbling about?”

Yue Buqun glanced and saw Yue Lingshan mumbling something.

“nothing.”

Yue Lingshan quickly shook her head, then said with a bitter face: “Dad, your Taiyue Sanqingfeng is so difficult to learn.”

Taiyue Sanqingfeng is a sword technique created by Yue Buqun himself. He did not teach it to any other disciples except Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong, not even Yue Lingshan.

It was some time ago that Yue Buqun taught this set of sword techniques he created to Yue Lingshan, but Yue Lingshan just couldn’t learn it no matter how hard she practiced. Yesterday, Linghu Chong practiced this set of sword techniques with her.

Yue Buqun smiled faintly when he heard this.

“Of course, it’s not easy to learn my sword skills. I’ll teach you after a while.”

While the father and daughter were talking, Shi Daizi exclaimed and pointed towards the cliff.

“Master, look!”

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun looked up and saw an arm reaching up from the steep cliff, followed by a man’s head.

Yue Lingshan opened her eyes wide.

Jiang Ning was right.

“Shall we do it, Dad?”

As they spoke, Yue Lingshan was ready to draw her sword, and Shi Daizi and several other disciples who had come to guard together were also ready to take action.

“Shhh.”

On the contrary, Yue Buqun did not rush to take action. Instead, he asked Yue Lingshan and other disciples not to make any noise.

“Look what he’s going to do.”

Yue Buqun said this in a low voice, then hid with his disciples and observed the actions of this man.

The man who climbed up from the cliff did not rush up. Instead, he looked around with his eyes open, and only climbed up after finding that there was no one around.

After coming up, the man did not take any action. He looked around again, and after confirming it was safe, he turned his head to look down the cliff, reached out and grabbed something, and another man climbed up, making a total of three people.

The three of them carefully left the cliff and walked inside. Seeing this, Yue Lingshan was about to take action again, but Yue Buqun held her down and shook his head gently.

The three men did not notice Yue Buqun and others in the dark and continued to walk inside.

“You guys wait here, I’ll go see what they’re going to do. If there are more people coming up from the cliff behind you, don’t act rashly and don’t alarm them.”

Yue Buqun whispered something and then followed the three men.

“Master, don’t worry.”

Shi Daizi nodded solemnly.

The three men went all the way deep into the North Peak. They did not communicate with each other on the way. They moved extremely carefully and looked around from time to time.

Yue Buqun followed them quietly without making any noise.

There was no one guarding the area behind the North Peak, so the three men had a smooth journey until they approached Laojun Ligou, where they saw a group of disciples from the Five Mountains Sword Sect patrolling and defending. Only then did the three men stop.

Seeing this, they hid in the dark and observed the situation ahead. The three of them nodded and went back in the direction they came from, returning to the edge of the cliff.

Yue Lingshan and others who were hiding in the dark saw these three people coming back and didn’t know what they were going to do. When they saw them preparing to get off the cliff, several Huashan disciples couldn’t help but wanted to take action, but Yue Buqun appeared and stopped them.

“Dad, aren’t you going to kill them?”

Yue Lingshan whispered.

Yue Buqun nodded gently: “Let them go back.”

Yue Lingshan didn’t know why Yue Buqun didn’t take action, but she still held back and watched the three men climb down the cliff again.

After a while, the three people did not come up again. Yue Lingshan looked towards the edge of the cliff and found that the three people had disappeared, so she made a sound.

“Dad, why did you let them go?”

Several other Huashan disciples also had this question.

Facing the doubts of his daughter and disciples, Yue Buqun had a faint smile on his face.

“These three are just here to explore the way. They are probably going back to call for help. Shan’er, go tell your uncle Feng to come to the back mountain and invite Master Dingjing and the Dian Cang Twin Swords. Also, call some other disciples over. We will catch him in a trap.”

Only then did Yue Lingshan realize what Yue Buqun was planning and she immediately became excited.

“I know, Dad!”

Then he headed towards Jinsuo Pass.

Yue Buqun looked at Shi Daizi again and said, “Go to Qianchi Chuang and tell Ning’er about the situation here. Ask him to be more careful over there.”
