After doing all this, Yue Buqun worriedly reminded Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong again: “The contents of this cave are the absolute secrets of our Huashan Sect. You two must keep it secret and no one is allowed to tell anyone, including Denuo and Dayou. If I find out that you have revealed this, I will not let you off easily!”

Yue Buqun’s words were very serious. Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan quickly promised that they would never tell anyone, and only then did Yue Buqun feel relieved.

But at this time Linghu Chong asked curiously: “Master, in addition to our Huashan’s lost swordsmanship, there are also lost swordsmanship from other Five Mountains Sword Sects in that cave. Shouldn’t we tell them?”

Yue Buqun hesitated for a moment and shook his head: “Don’t tell them for now. I have my own plans.”

Yue Buqun made up his mind that until the Huashan Sect became strong enough to compete with the Songshan Sect, he would keep the secret in the cave sealed forever.

Now the Songshan Sect is the strongest among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and its leader Zuo Lengchan is very ambitious and wants to annex the other four sects. If Yue Buqun tells them the secret in the cave now, Zuo Lengchan will not refuse to annex the Huashan Sect just to thank him. Instead, he will speed up the other party’s efforts to annex the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

Yue Buqun will tell this matter to the other four sects, but the prerequisite is that the Huashan Sect has become strong enough to fight against the Songshan Sect, or his own martial arts skills surpass Zuo Lengchan. Before this, Yue Buqun will not do anything to aid the enemy.

“Oh.”

Linghu Chong nodded without any objection.

But the next second he just licked his face and smiled foolishly at Yue Buqun.

“Master, this…that…hehe.”

Yue Buqun frowned and said, “If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?”

Linghu Chong chuckled and said, “Look, my junior brother and I have recovered the lost sword technique of our Huashan Sect and have made great contributions to the Huashan Sect. My punishment is…”

Linghu Chong didn’t say anything, but just smiled at Yue Buqun with an expression that said you know what I mean.

Yue Buqun glanced at him and said calmly, “Forget it, it won’t happen again.”

Linghu Chong’s eyes lit up.

“Thank you, Master!”

After confirming that the cave contained the Huashan Sect’s lost sword skills, Yue Buqun felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. He walked much more briskly, as if he were a dozen years younger.

After all this going back and forth, it was already getting dark, just in time for dinner.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze went straight back to Yousuobuweixuan, while Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong hadn’t eaten all day and were already feeling hungry. On the way to the cafeteria, Linghu Chong kept shouting that he could eat a whole cow.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the other Huashan disciples had already arrived. However, because the eldest brother Linghu Chong was not there, they could not eat and had to wait for them.

During the meal, under the lead of Lao Denuo, Huashan disciples such as Lu Dayou and Ying Bailuo were asking where Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun had been and why they had just returned, and they kept asking questions.

Jiang Ning would definitely not tell anyone, and Yue Lingshan also kept her father’s words in mind and kept her mouth shut, not revealing anything.

It was Linghu Chong, who was a chatterbox and loved to play pranks. After facing the questions from his fellow apprentices, he could not help but speak. However, he did not reveal the secret of the Cliff of Regret. Instead, after a few perfunctory words, he began to brag about how he punished evil and promoted good along the way, and how he defeated Hou Renying and Hong Renxiong of the Qingcheng Sect, which caused them to be amazed.

The attention of Huashan disciples was drawn to him.

Only Laudno smiled without saying anything, with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

late at night.

After dinner, Jiang Ning packed some clothes that needed to be changed and some necessary supplies for the journey in the room, then walked out of the room and went to the back hall.

When he arrived, he found that Yue Buqun was already sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed, and three burning candles were placed on the incense table.

The incense sticks had burned almost halfway, it seemed that Yue Buqun had been waiting here for some time.

“Master.”

Jiang Ning came to stand in front of Yue Buqun and saluted.

Yue Buqun opened his eyes, looked at the disciple in front of him, and nodded slightly.

“Ah.”

After saying that, Yue Buqun stood up and stood in front of the incense table, with his hands behind his back. Without looking back, he just threw a few words over lightly.

“Ning’er, did you discover the secret of the stone wall of Siguo Cliff accidentally?”

Jiang Ning’s eyes suddenly fixed.

Chapter 25: Heart to Heart

“The disciple does not understand what the master means.”

Jiang Ning was not panicked and replied calmly.

Yue Buqun turned around at this time, stared at him closely, and spoke again, but he did not ask a follow-up question, but asked an irrelevant question.

“Did you see anyone else in Huashan besides my Huashan disciples? Did you encounter any strange people on your way down the mountain to Yunmeng County?”

Jiang Ning was a little surprised, then shook his head: “No.”

Yue Buqun didn’t say anything, just stared at him, as if judging whether his words were true or false.

After a while.

Yue Buqun’s brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face: “Ning’er, you really helped Master a lot this time, and also helped Huashan Sect a lot.”

Jiang Ning asked knowingly, “Why did Master say that?”

Yue Buqun let out a long sigh.

“Ning’er, I originally thought that there are some things that I can handle by myself. You, Chong’er, Shan’er, Dayou and the others just need to practice hard. As long as our Huashan Sect works together, our Huashan Sect will be revitalized sooner or later.”

“But things don’t always go as planned.”

“Now the evil sect is all over the country, always trying to destroy our righteous sects, and Zuo Lengchan of Songshan Sect is always thinking about annexing the other Five Mountains Sword Sects. Our Huashan Sect is now in a difficult situation.”

Yue Buqun finally confided the pressure in his heart to his disciples.

However, he did not see any shock on Jiang Ning’s face, so he asked, “Aren’t you surprised?”

Jiang Ning asked back: “Why are you surprised?”

Yue Buqun was surprised and said, “The Five Mountains Sword Sects have always been of the same origin. Didn’t you feel confused when you heard that the Songshan Sect wanted to swallow up the other four sects?”

Jiang Ning smiled calmly and said, “Where there are people, there is a martial arts world. Moreover, we are in the martial arts world, and the martial arts world is full of intrigue. His Songshan Sect is powerful, and it is human nature for him to want to annex our Five Mountains Sword Sect and take it a step further.”

“They are the butchers and I am the meat. My Huashan Sect is not as strong as the Songshan Sect now. I am not surprised that they want to annex us.”

Yue Buqun smiled and nodded.

“You have this understanding and have not been blinded by the great principles in books and unable to see the reality clearly. That’s good.”

After he finished speaking, Yue Buqun sneered, “Zuo Lengchan wanted to annex my Huashan Sect and sent Lao Denuo to my Huashan as a spy. He thought I didn’t know, but in fact I saw through it a long time ago.”

“I pretended not to know and kept Lao Denuo here just to paralyze Zuo Lengchan.”

Jiang Ning was a little surprised.

He didn’t watch “Swordsman” carefully before and didn’t pay attention to many details. He didn’t know whether Yue Buqun knew that Lao Denuo was a traitor. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Lao Denuo, but Yue Buqun said at this moment that he knew Lao Denuo was a traitor, so why didn’t he kill him?

Yue Buqun seemed to know Jiang Ning’s doubts and said with a smile: “Lao Denuo is just a chess piece. I can kill him at will, but I can’t kill him.”

“He is a spy sent by Songshan Sect to spy on Huashan Sect. Although he is a pawn of Songshan Sect and is detrimental to Huashan Sect, I can use him to reassure Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan that he will not attack Huashan Sect immediately.”

“Besides, even if I kill him, Zuo Lengchan will continue to attack my Huashan Sect. I am not a god and cannot immediately find out who the traitor is. Instead of doing that, it is better to save Lao Denuo’s life for the time being.”

“It is also good to keep him. I can assign him to do the dirty work of Huashan Sect, but I won’t let him spy on the real secrets of Huashan Sect.”

Jiang Ning nodded.

Yue Buqun’s approach was correct.

After saying a few simple words, Yue Buqun simply skipped the topic. He didn’t ask Jiang Ning to come to the back hall to talk about this.

At this time, Yue Buqun took out a purse from his wide sleeves. It was bulging with something, and no one knew what was inside.

“Ning’er, this is your first time going down the mountain for training. I don’t know how long it will take. I am afraid that you don’t have enough money. Take these and don’t save on the way. Spend as much as you need.”

Yue Buqun directly handed over the purse.

“Thank you, Master.”

Jiang Ning took the purse with both hands, and suddenly felt his hands sink, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This is no small amount.

Yue Buqun smiled and said, “Here are two hundred taels of silver. Take it for now.”

so much?

Did Yue Buqun really become rich overnight?

I think Guo Furong didn’t carry so much silver when she went out back then, right?

Two hundred taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person to live a life without worries of food and clothing.

“This……”

Before Jiang Ning could say anything, he was interrupted by Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun waved his hand and said, “Master, I know what you mean. Just take it with peace of mind. This is what you deserve. You don’t have to worry about the expenses of the sect.”

“Yes, thank you Master. I will always remember your sincere love and care.”

Jiang Ning accepted it.

Yue Buqun nodded with satisfaction. What satisfied him most was Jiang Ning’s straightforward character.

After doing all this, Yue Buqun turned around and looked at the spirit tablets arranged on the incense table with a lingering expression.

“My lifelong wish is to fulfill my master’s will and carry forward the Huashan Sect.”

“Now that the lost swordsmanship of our Huashan Sect has returned to Huashan, the revitalization of Huashan is just around the corner!”

“But despite this, when our Huashan Sect recovers to its peak, I’m afraid it can only return to being the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects like it was decades ago, and there will be no further progress.”

“In fact, I have a great wish in my heart.”

Yue Buqun placed his hands on the incense table, applying slight force with his finger bones.

“That is to restore the former glory of Quanzhen Sect, surpass Wudang and Shaolin, wipe out the evil sect, and make Huashan the world’s number one sect!”

Yue Buqun’s voice was low, but sonorous and powerful.

Everyone has dreams, and Yue Buqun is no exception.

“It’s just a pity.”

Yue Buqun changed the subject, his tone sounding a little bleak.
