Of course, this is also the reason why he had been staying in Huashan before.

The flower and lantern festival lasted for two whole days, and the Huashan disciples really enjoyed themselves.

On the third day, Jiang Ning was ready to leave.

“What? You want to leave?”

Yue Buqun was also stunned after hearing this.

Ning Zhongze also asked in surprise: “Aren’t you going back to Huashan with us?”

Jiang Ning shook his head: “The training is not over yet, I want to continue traveling.”

Yue Buqun pondered in silence.

To be honest, he is now a little afraid of Jiang Ning traveling alone in the world.

Although Jiang Ning is obedient and sensible, much better than Linghu Chong, his ability to stir up trouble is just as great as Linghu Chong’s, and the things he does make him shudder with fear.

Compared to what Jiang Ning had caused, what Linghu Chong had done was nothing.

More importantly, he was afraid that Jiang Ning, who could not tolerate any injustice, would suffer if he went out alone. He might even attract some powerful force and be hunted down. By then, he would be unable to reach him and it would be too late to save him.

Yue Buqun wanted Jiang Ning to go back to Huashan with him, but when he saw Jiang Ning’s eyes, he hesitated.

After a while.

“Ok.”

Yue Buqun chose to respect Jiang Ning’s decision.

But he reminded: “When you go to practice this time, you must remember not to act impulsively, and keep yourself useful for everything. Don’t be reckless. If you encounter something you can’t handle, put it aside temporarily, come back and tell your master, and your master will handle it with you.”

At this point, there is no need to explain how important Jiang Ning is to him.

Jiang Ning nodded: “Disciple understands.”

Yue Buqun took out another thing from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Ning.

“Take this.”

Jiang Ning took a look and it turned out to be the tortoise shell.

Jiang Ning looked up at Yue Buqun with confusion in his eyes.

Yue Buqun smiled and said, “I have already memorized the Xiantian Gong above. You don’t need this thing anymore, so I will return it to you.”

Jiang Ning nodded, took the tortoise shell and put it in his arms, then talked with Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze for a while and then prepared to leave. However, before leaving, he saw a familiar person in the inn.

“It’s you?”

Jiang Ning looked at the girl in front of him and asked in surprise.

The girl in front of him was the maid who was led to the dark room of the study by Tie Zhangmen and whom he helped to get back the money owed to her.

At this time, the girl whose name was unknown was followed by three or four children, both boys and girls.

The girl looked at Jiang Ning and laughed, “Last time I heard from you Huashan Sect that you were planning to take those women who were persecuted to brothels back to Shaanxi and build a village at the foot of Huashan Mountain for them to start a new life. I thought that if I continued to live here, I would be a maid for a wealthy family. If I was bullied by others, your Huashan Sect is so far away from Xiangyang and can’t help me. So I thought about taking my brothers and sisters to follow you to Shaanxi. That is your Huashan Sect’s territory. No one will bully me there. Even if I am bullied, you will help me.”

“I’ve asked your people. I can go with you. I’ve also made arrangements with Xiaoqian and Guirong to go together.”

The people she was talking about were all maids.

Jiang Ning nodded.

At this time, the girl blinked and suddenly asked, “If we follow you to Shaanxi, do we have to pay for our own travel expenses?”

Jiang Ning laughed.

“Need not.”

A lot of silver was found in the Iron Palm Sect, underground banks and casinos. After distributing them, there was still a lot left, enough for their travel expenses.

“Oh.”

The girl nodded, looked at him again, and asked, “Are you leaving now?”

“Ah.”

Jiang Ning nodded.

The girl’s eyes widened: “You’re not going back to Huashan?”

Jiang Ning said: “I am going to travel and will be back in a while.”

“travel?”

The girl didn’t understand what this meant, but she thought it was similar to playing.

After talking to her for a few words, Jiang Ning went back to the backyard to take Edamame away and prepare to leave.

He met many people in the inn, most of them were the women who had been rescued and their families.

Just as Jiang Ning had thought before, they would no longer be able to live a normal life in Xiangyang in the future, and their experiences in the city over the past two days made them realize this even more deeply.

Although the people of Xiangyang City knew that they were being persecuted and not doing it voluntarily, and no one spoke ill of them, the alienation revealed in their eyes still made these women feel as if they were being stabbed in the heart.

So after hearing about the Huashan Sect’s plan for them, most of them chose to go back to Shaanxi with the Huashan Sect, and those who had families also chose to go with them.

There are also some women whose families have been destroyed and who have nothing left except their bodies, but they have no problem with this.

But there were some women who still had families, but their families treated them the same way as the people in Xiangyang City, especially those women who were already infected with internal diseases, their families simply abandoned them.

Jiang Ning had already expected this result.

People are diverse, there are all kinds of people, so he came up with the idea of ​​letting these women go to another place to start a new life.

Without alarming these people, Jiang Ning went to the backyard and took Maodou to leave the inn through a remote path, leaving Xiangyang quietly.

After leaving Xiangyang, Jiang Ning looked back at the ancient city, then left without looking back.

This is not his first stop, nor will it be his last.

Chapter 60: Return to the Mountain

Chapter 60: Back to the Mountain

Another autumn has passed in a flash.

Huashan Mountain is no longer covered in snow after the winter, but is now emerald green.

Halfway up Mount Huashan.

A young man was walking on a rugged mountain road. He was wearing a green robe, with a long sword slung across his waist. He was walking towards the mountain, followed by a donkey.

The boy looked cold and not outstanding, but his eyes were like obsidian, shining brightly and unforgettable at first sight.

The donkey behind him was unusually tall, much taller than an ordinary horse, and incredibly strong.

There is a bell tied around the donkey’s neck, which makes crisp sounds as the donkey sways.

I started going down the mountain in May last year, and it has been almost a year since April this year.

After returning to Huashan after nearly a year, the scenery he saw was exactly the same as in his mind, and Jiang Ning’s eyes showed a hint of emotion.

We kept moving upward until we reached the top of the mountain, where houses came into view.

The first thing that caught my eye was the Huashan Sect’s martial arts training ground. At this moment, there were only a few Huashan disciples practicing sword skills in the spacious training ground.

“drink!”

“what!”

A Huashan disciple raised his sword to block and knocked away the sword from the opposite side. He turned his wrist and was about to counterattack, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that there was a person walking up the mountain at the bottom of the mountain. This discovery made him stop his actions.

“what happened?”

The Huashan disciple opposite asked doubtfully.

“Someone’s coming up the mountain.”

The disciple pointed his hand down the mountain. After hearing his words, the other Huashan disciples who were practicing sword stopped practicing and looked down the mountain.

The distance was a bit far from them, so they couldn’t see clearly, but when the man came closer, they recognized him at once.

“Little junior brother!”

One of the disciples with good eyesight shouted in surprise.

“What? Is it Junior Brother?”

The other disciples were also excited. After taking a closer look, they saw that it was indeed Jiang Ning, and they all shouted out.

“Really Junior Brother!”

Hearing the shouts from above, Jiang Ning smiled and quickened his pace.

“You are finally back!”

“Junior brother, where have you been this year? Why did it take so long?”

“I’m glad you came back safe and sound.”

“We are all worried that something might happen to you out there.”

As soon as they came up, these disciples surrounded him and talked non-stop to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning smiled and said to them: “Thank you for your concern, brothers.”

“Master and his wife miss you so much.”

One of the disciples said.

Hearing them mention Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, Jiang Ning asked, “Are Master and Master’s Wife on the mountain now?”

“exist.”

A disciple replied: “Since returning from Xiangyang last time, Master has rarely come down the mountain. He is basically always in Huashan.”

Jiang Ning looked around and found that they were the only ones in the huge martial arts training ground. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Where are the other brothers and sisters? Why don’t I see them?”

“Master has punished our eldest brother to face the wall on the cliff again. It’s not time yet. I don’t know where our second brother has gone down the mountain. The other brothers and sisters have gone down the mountain to help.”
