The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun
Page 303
“oh oh.”
Linghu Chong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Jiang Ning didn’t say anything else and returned to the academy in silence.
The next few days were very peaceful. After returning, Yue Buqun did not specifically look for Jiang Ning to talk about this matter. He just talked with Dean Chen and played chess with him every day, as if he did not care about this matter at all.
During these few days, Jiang Ning also searched Luoyang thoroughly, trying to find the whereabouts of Ping Yizhi and his wife, but found nothing. Presumably, these two people are no longer in Luoyang.
Two days later, Yue Buqun was ready to set off.
……
“What? You want to join Huashan?”
Yue Buqun looked at Chen Lanjin who was kneeling on the ground in astonishment, and couldn’t help but glance at Dean Chen beside him.
Dean Chen is already eighty years old, and at this moment he has a confused look on his face.
Chen Lanjin was very determined.
“Please ask Master Yue to accept me as his disciple.”

“Ms. Chen, what are you doing…”
Yue Buqun was surprised and didn’t understand why Chen Lanjin suddenly wanted to join the Huashan Sect.
However, Chen Lanjin’s expression was very firm, and it didn’t seem like she was acting on a whim.
Yue Buqun looked at Dean Chen who was standing beside him and found that Dean Chen was shaking his head at him.
“Miss Chen, please get up first.”
After Chen Lanjin stood up, Yue Buqun said, “My Huashan Sect has only recruited disciples once so far, and we are not planning to recruit more disciples for the time being.”
The Huashan Sect now has standards for accepting disciples. In addition to a clean family background, the disciple cannot be too old.
Chen Lanjin had little to say about her family background. Her grandfather, Dean Chen, and Yue Buqun were old friends, but she was quite old.
Hearing this, Chen Lanjin’s eyes were slightly disappointed, but he quickly asked, “Master Yue, when will Huashan Sect accept disciples next time?”
Yue Buqun replied: “Two years later.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Lanjin immediately said, “Then I will go to Huashan again in two years.”
Hearing this, Yue Buqun paused, not because he thought this matter was troublesome, but because he suddenly thought of something.
For the sake of safety and to avoid the emergence of undercover agents like Lao Denuo, Huashan Sect now accepts young children as disciples. Those who are over the age limit and those who come to the sect with skills will not be accepted for the time being. However, this does not mean that Huashan Sect will not accept any disciples in the future.
This time, Chen Lanjin gave him a reminder.
Later, an opportunity was opened up to those who were over the age limit but wanted to join the Huashan Sect. When these people were accepted, they had to take an assessment, and only those who passed the assessment could enter Huashan.
However, Yue Buqun will have to wait until later to consider this issue.
“Li Qingwu, Li Yuan…”
Lu Dayou was holding a list in his hand and reading the names on it.
Outside the academy.
The Huashan disciples around also gathered to watch.
“Junior brother, you have been to so many places.”
“I want to go, too.”
The Huashan disciples also spoke up.
Jiang Ning watched from a distance with confusion in his eyes.
He remembered that he had thrown the paper away.
Lu Dayou seemed to understand Jiang Ning’s expression and laughed, “Last time I went to my junior brother’s room, I saw him practicing calligraphy. I happened to see him throw this piece of paper into the trash can, so I asked him about it and thought it was a pity, so I picked it up.”
Yue Lingshan looked at him with disgust: “You are so disgusting.”
Lu Dayou didn’t think anything of it and said to Jiang Ning, “Junior brother, why did you throw it away? You can keep it as a souvenir.”
Jiang Ning was somewhat speechless: “It’s just a piece of paper, what’s so good about it as a souvenir?”
“Look, all the names on it are dead, and you came here in person. It looks like a book of life and death. You might as well do the same when you kill evil spirits and monsters in the future. Write down their names and hometowns and make a book of the King of Hell’s life and death. It would be so domineering. After all, you are the King of Hell, so this suits you very well.”
Lu Dayou became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had some inspiration, and his eyes were shining.
“From now on, a book of life and death will be circulated in the martial arts world, and all evildoers will be terrified.”
“Yeah.”
Tao Jun also got excited and offered his own suggestion: “But for this Book of Life and Death, don’t include those minor characters. It will lower the level.”
“What King of Hell, what Book of Life and Death, what nonsense.”
At this moment, Yue Buqun, who had just said goodbye to Dean Chen, walked out. After hearing what the disciples said, he scolded them with a stern face.
“We are upright people, why would we need to keep a life and death book?”
Yue Buqun stared at Lu Dayou.
Among his many disciples, Linghu Chong is the least reliable, followed by Lu Dayou.
Linghu Chong is much better now, but Lu Dayou is still a concern.
“Look at you, you’re always yelling and making noises, caring about this and that, but your mind is not focused on cultivation. If you put this energy into practicing, you would have become a first-class master long ago.”
Yue Buqun scolded Lu Dayou harshly, and Lu Dayou did not dare to refute at all.
After scolding him, Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning again and asked, “Where’s Ping’er? Hasn’t he come back yet?”
Jiang Ning shook his head: “Not yet.”
At this moment, several figures appeared at the other corner of the street, one of whom was Lin Pingzhi.
“Master and Madam, I am sorry for the long wait, fellow brothers.”
When Lin Pingzhi arrived, he hurriedly saluted everyone.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Yue Buqun shook his head slightly, then looked at the people who were traveling with him.
“These people must be Ping’er’s relatives.”
“Yes, Master.”
Lin Pingzhi nodded quickly and began to introduce: “These two are my uncles, and these two are my cousins.”
These people were from the Golden Sword Sect, and were also Lin Pingzhi’s mother’s family.
After helping Lin Pingzhi solve Zhao Tianlai’s problem in Jiangning a few days ago, Lin Pingzhi went to visit his grandfather’s house in Jindao Gate. However, it happened that his grandfather Wang Yuanba was not at home these days. He said that he had gone to Songshan to watch the meeting of the leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, leaving only his sons Wang Bofen and Wang Zhongqiang.
The night before his departure, Lin Pingzhi went back to Jindaomen to bid farewell to his uncle, but was asked to stay overnight and only returned this morning.
“My name is Wang Bofen, nice to meet Sect Leader Yue.”
One of the middle-aged men bowed respectfully to Yue Buqun and said, “Thank you, Master Yue, for taking care of my nephew Pingzhi.”
Yue Buqun smiled faintly and said a few polite words.
“My lord, what a fate.”
At this time, a person who came with Lin Pingzhi came to Jiang Ning.
“You saved my cousin before, and you saved my life. I really don’t know how to express this.”
Wang Jiaju said.
Jiang Ning shook his head: “It’s okay.”
In fact, he was also very surprised. He didn’t expect that the person he had rescued before was actually Lin Pingzhi’s cousin. It was indeed a fate.
“My dear hero, you left in a hurry last time and I didn’t thank you properly. Now you are leaving again. When you return to Huashan, you must come to Luoyang so that I can entertain you.”
Wang Jiaju said.
“Definitely next time.”
Jiang Ning smiled and said.
After saying goodbye to each other, the Huashan Sect prepared to set off. The group left Luoyang in a mighty manner and headed towards Dengfeng.
It is now May 23rd, and there are only a few days left until the Five Mountains Sword Sect Leaders Conference in June.
However, Yue Buqun was not in a hurry at all at this time, and he sat in the carriage leisurely along the way.
Luoyang is very close to Songshan Mountain and can be reached in a few days. Yue Buqun plans to go there on time. He doesn’t want to see Zuo Lengchan’s face if he goes too early.
After another day, Yue Buqun planned to find a nearby town to rest for a night. He wanted to find out whether Hengshan, Taishan and the three Hengshan sects had arrived, but at this time an accident happened.
“Master, I want to leave for a few days.”
Within the town.
Just as Yue Buqun was about to find an inn to stay in, a disciple suddenly came up and knelt in front of him and Ning Zhongze.
It was Du Lanyin.
“Ok?”
Ning Zhongze was a little surprised.
“what happened?”
While Ning Zhongze was confused, Yue Buqun seemed to understand something.
He remembered that Du Lanyin’s home seemed to be somewhere near Dengfeng.
At this time, Du Lanyin had a complicated expression, as if in pain, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes.
“Master, before I went up the mountain, my parents were killed by a powerful family in Guyang County. Now that I have returned to my hometown, I want to avenge my parents and go to Guyang County.”
When this matter was mentioned, Ning Zhongze also remembered it.
