The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

“Whether King Ning can beat Dongfang Bubai in the future or not, it has nothing to do with us brothers. What if he can beat him? What if he can’t? Can we eat more? Just talk about it, don’t really quarrel.”

The rest of the people also laughed it off and tried to change the subject.

“Ning Yanwang is indeed a very powerful martial artist, but he is also prone to causing trouble. Recently, something happened in the martial arts world. I just heard about it today. It is related to Ning Yanwang.”

Hearing that the matter was related to Jiang Ning, everyone else looked over, including those who admired Jiang Ning.

The man said, “I heard that the Beggar Gang’s branch in Yanping was suddenly massacred last year. Later it was revealed that it was Ning Yanwang who massacred the Beggar Gang’s branch. Now the Beggar Gang is very angry. A large number of gang members are heading towards Huashan, and they are clamoring for Huashan to hand over Ning Yanwang and give the Beggar Gang an explanation.”

“This is not a good idea. I’m afraid it will lead to a fight between the Beggars’ Sect and Huashan.”

This man’s words caused Linghu Chong, who was eavesdropping on the side, to change his expression, but he managed to remain calm.

After all, he already knew about this matter when he was in Hengshan.

“Why would King Ning go to massacre the Beggars’ Sect for no reason? And they were so far away. Could it be that someone from the Demon Cult pretended to be King Ning and did it? Then they could frame King Ning and cause internal strife in the Beggars’ Sect at Huashan Mountain.”

“No, I heard that someone escaped from the branch that was massacred, and personally pointed out that it was King Ning who did it.”

Upon hearing that it was confirmed that Jiang Ning was responsible for the bloodbath at the Beggars’ Sect branch, the others all laughed in surprise.

The man who admired Jiang Ning looked a little anxious and asked, “What’s the situation now?”

The man shook his head: “I don’t know. I heard that the leader of the Beggars’ Sect has already written a letter to Master Yue of Huashan. I don’t know what the situation is now.”

Others have already discussed it.

“Why did King Ning travel thousands of miles to massacre the Beggars’ Sect branch?”

“I don’t know. If you ask me, I think these beggars must have done something bad and were discovered by King Ning, who slaughtered them.”

“What’s wrong?”

“How would I know? But I guess that’s the case. Look at King Ning’s style of doing things since his debut. He only uses such cruel methods against evildoers.”

“Should!”

One of them suddenly said, “I have long disliked these beggars. They always say that the Beggars’ Gang is the best gang in the world. They are very arrogant and do a lot of sneaky things. If you ask me, they must have done something against the will of heaven and earth. If they don’t do bad things, the King of Hell won’t knock on the door. Otherwise, why would the King of Hell kill them?”

After listening to this man’s words, the others couldn’t help but nod their heads, even the man who had previously belittled Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ning’s style of doing things since his debut has already established him with a solid reputation. Even many people in the martial arts world who did not know the inside story believed that there was something wrong with the Beggars’ Sect after they first heard about this incident, rather than Jiang Ning killing the wrong person.

“It seems we have to go back quickly.”

Linghu Chong on the side said with a serious expression.

“Ah.”

Jiang Ning nodded, and after meeting Liu Zhengfeng he returned to Huashan.

These gangsters ate and chatted, and when they finished, they got up and left. Jiang Ning’s table had almost finished eating too.

After eating, Linghu Chong prepared to go back to his room, but Jiang Ning planned to go out for a walk.

“Big Brother, I’m going to go out for a while.”

Seeing Jiang Ning was about to go out, Linghu Chong was surprised, but he didn’t say anything. He nodded and told Jiang Ning to be careful, then went straight upstairs. But after Jiang Ning left, Linghu Chong went downstairs again to greet the waiter.

“Little Er, drink up!”

Chapter 556: Meeting Liu Zhengfeng in Luoyang

……

After Jiang Ning went out, he searched around the city and saw a special symbol on the wall at a street corner.

Seeing this symbol, Jiang Ning was cheered up. This was exactly the symbol Liu Zhengfeng left for him.

Following the direction indicated by the symbol, Jiang Ning came to an alley and stopped. It was not that Jiang Ning had arrived, but that this alley was a little special.

There were not many people passing by the alley, and there were a few people guarding outside the alley. Judging from their clothes and temperament, they were not ordinary people, nor were they ordinary people from the underworld.

He is a member of the evil cult.

Jiang Ning, who discovered this, looked at the alley. He couldn’t sneak in normally, and if he sneaked in openly, he would alert the enemy.

Jiang Ning thought about it, then went to the teahouse across the alley and sat down to wait.

After an unknown amount of time, people came in and out of the alley, all of whom were people Jiang Ning didn’t know, but occasionally he could see a few familiar faces, such as the Ping Yizhi couple and the Green Bamboo Old Man who had fought with Dongfang Bubai on the Black Wood Cliff.

After seeing these three people, Jiang Ning became more certain that this was where Ren Woxing and Ren Yingying were in Luoyang.

After waiting for a long time, Jiang Ning focused his eyes and finally saw the target.

Liu Zhengfeng walked out of the alley, followed by a few people.

After exiting the alley, Liu Zhengfeng and his companions headed in one direction.

Jiang Ning stood up and walked out of the teahouse, following Liu Zhengfeng and the others all the way to a tall mansion with a vermilion-painted gate. There were several big men guarding the door, and the words “Golden Sword Gate” were written above the gate.

“Ok?”

Jiang Ning, who had secretly followed Liu Zhengfeng and others here, narrowed his eyes, wondering why Liu Zhengfeng came here.

Because this is the home of Lin Pingzhi’s grandfather Wang Yuanba.

Jiang Ning, feeling suspicious, watched Liu Zhengfeng and his companions enter the Golden Sword Gate, and then the gate was closed.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, looked at the mansion, came to a secret place on the side, jumped over the wall, and entered the Golden Sword Gate.

The interior of the Golden Sword Gate is very large, and there are many members of the Golden Sword Gate. Soon after Liu Zhengfeng and his companions entered the gate, a middle-aged man came to greet them. Jiang Ning recognized that the middle-aged man was Wang Bofen, whom Yue Buqun had met when he came to Luoyang last time, and he was also Lin Pingzhi’s uncle.

Seeing Wang Bofen welcoming Liu Zhengfeng and others in, Jiang Ning frowned slightly. He didn’t know what was going on, but he immediately sneaked in and hid in the dark, secretly following the group into the depths of the Golden Sword Gate and came to the lobby.

“Brother Liu, I have long heard of your name.”

A voice sounded in the lobby, and a tall old man came out, bowed and smiled at Liu Zhengfeng.

“Master Wang.”

Liu Zhengfeng also smiled slightly and bowed in return.

Wang Yuanba?

Jiang Ning looked at the old man. Although he had never seen him before, from his appearance and what Liu Zhengfeng said, he naturally knew that this man was Wang Yuanba, the leader of the Golden Sword Sect, and he was also Lin Pingzhi’s grandfather.

Wang Yuanba himself was nearly eighty years old, but his face was still ruddy, with white beard fluttering under his chin. In one hand he held two goose egg-sized golden galls, and he was dressed in silk and satin. At first sight, one could feel a sense of luxury.

“Come on, come on, please come in.”

Wang Yuanba laughed loudly, his voice as loud as a bell, and invited Liu Zhengfeng and others into the hall.

Watching several people enter the lobby, Jiang Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly, but in the end he did not choose to approach and left quietly.

Jiang Ning left the Golden Sword Gate quietly, but did not go far. Instead, he waited outside the Golden Sword Gate. It was almost dark when he waited. The tightly closed gate opened, and Wang Yuanba personally escorted Liu Zhengfeng and others out.

Jiang Ning watched from a distance as a few people greeted each other, then Liu Zhengfeng left and Jiang Ning followed.

It is dark now, but the streets of Luoyang city are still bustling and brightly lit.

There were more people on the street than during the day and it was very crowded, with people coming and going. Jiang Ning, without knowing when, was wearing a bamboo hat and passed by Liu Zhengfeng and others.

bang~

Jiang Ning and Liu Zhengfeng bumped into each other.

“Excuse me.”

Liu Zhengfeng was bumped and before he could say anything, he heard the person opposite him speak first. The voice was very familiar. Liu Zhengfeng turned his head and saw the mask under the hat lifted up, revealing a face.

Liu Zhengfeng’s eyes dilated slightly, then returned to normal. He didn’t say anything and continued to leave. The people who were traveling with him didn’t notice anything unusual either.

After walking for a distance, Liu Zhengfeng suddenly stopped.

“Elder Liu, what’s wrong?”

One of the people traveling with him saw him stop and asked.

Liu Zhengfeng looked at a small stall selling musical instruments on the side of the road and said, “I want to buy something.”

After hearing his words, these people hesitated, but seeing that Liu Zhengfeng had already started to choose in front of this stall, they felt helpless and had to wait on the side.

“Master, you have a good eye. The workmanship of this bamboo flute is not simple…”

The vendor enthusiastically introduced the items to Liu Zhengfeng. Liu Zhengfeng nodded, looked at them, then put them down and picked up another one to continue looking at them.

“Elder Liu, I think we should go back first and buy it next time.”

One of them had been waiting for a long time and couldn’t help but speak.

Liu Zhengfeng glanced at them casually and said, “If you don’t want to wait, you can go back first.”

The man and the others looked at each other and said, “Elder Liu, I think we should just pick one at random. There’s no difference between these.”

Liu Zhengfeng didn’t even turn his head and said, “Choosing a musical instrument is just like choosing a weapon that suits you. How can you just choose randomly?”

As he spoke, Liu Zhengfeng picked up a bamboo flute and tried to blow it a few times, then shook his head: “The sound is too mixed, not good.”

Watching Liu Zhengfeng pick and choose, the few people were helpless but they had no choice but to wait. However, this wait seemed endless. Liu Zhengfeng looked at this and that, from one stall to another. A long time passed and Liu Zhengfeng still didn’t choose anything that satisfied him. The few people were really bored of waiting, and they were also hungry. Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng was still picking here, they left a little and went to other stalls to buy food.

Liu Zhengfeng glanced at them and saw that they had walked a little further away and he could no longer be seen. He turned around and left, disappearing in the crowd the next second.

……

After walking out of the crowd, Liu Zhengfeng stopped at a quiet place and asked, “When did you come?”

“today.”

A voice suddenly came from the empty place, and a figure walked out from the darkness and took off the hat on his head.

“Uncle Liu.”

Liu Zhengfeng finally laughed when he saw Jiang Ning.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Jiang Ning explained, “I went to Hengshan to visit Uncle Ding Xian and the others, and then stayed in the capital for a few days, so I came a little late.”

Liu Zhengfeng asked: “When did you see me today?”

Jiang Ning said: “I followed the mark left by Uncle Liu to find the alley, watched Uncle Liu leave the alley and reach the Golden Sword Gate, and then followed Uncle Liu all the way here.”

Liu Zhengfeng nodded suddenly.

Jiang Ning then asked, “Uncle Liu, why did you go to the Golden Sword Sect today?”
