The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun
Page 56
But his eyes were very bright.
Originally, no matter how abnormal this person was, Jiang Ning had no interest in exploring him. But when Jiang Ning looked over, he found that this person had been staring at him closely, and did not even look at Liu Zhengfeng who was the center of attention.
When he found out that Jiang Ning had noticed him, he opened his mouth and said something silently to Jiang Ning, then turned and left, disappearing into the crowd.
Ok?
Seeing this, Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn’t understand lip reading, but from the man’s actions it was obvious that he was coming for him, and the man’s departure at the end was a hint for him to follow him.
“Master, there is a strange person leading me out. I’m going to take a look.”
Jiang Ning leaned over and whispered to Yue Buqun.
“Who?”
Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun immediately turned his gaze to the crowd of martial artists present.
Jiang Ning said: “He has left.”
Yue Buqun frowned slightly: “Be careful. If you find anything wrong, come back immediately, or call out loudly, and I will come as soon as possible.”
The Golden Basin Conference has already begun, and he and Ning Zhongze cannot leave halfway. If Lu Dayou and the others follow Jiang Ning out, if that person encounters any harm, Lu Dayou and other disciples will become a burden to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded, then left quietly without attracting anyone’s attention.
After bypassing the crowd, Jiang Ning followed the man’s path and left Liu Mansion, heading towards an alley not far away.
Jiang Ning felt a little strange when he saw this scene. This place was not far from Liu’s Mansion. If this person wanted to harm him or set an ambush, he would at least stay away from him and would not be near Liu’s Mansion.
It seems that he is not a person with bad intentions.
With this idea in mind, Jiang Ning did not relax his vigilance, but approached the alley with full caution, his hand already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to draw the sword immediately if anything went wrong.
However, when Jiang Ning arrived at the entrance of the alley, he found that there was no one in the alley except the hunchbacked man who led him out.
Looking at the person in front of him, Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and was about to ask, but the next second the man knelt down in front of him with a plop, his head buried deep in the ground.
“I had no choice but to bring you here. I have a deep hatred for you. You are the most kindhearted and righteous man in the world. You are the only one who can avenge me. I had no choice but to do this. Please forgive me. I beg you to help me. If you can help me avenge my hatred, I will pay any price.”
The voice is exceptionally young.
Looking at the man kneeling in front of him, Jiang Ning frowned slightly and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Lin Pingzhi.”

Chapter 77: Songshan Sect
It’s him?
Jiang Ning looked surprised.
He was wondering where this person had gone, but he didn’t expect him to come to him on his own initiative.
“The enemy you are talking about is Yu Canghai from the Qingcheng Sect?”
The man kneeling in front of him suddenly looked up when he heard this, and his eyes stared at Jiang Ning with deep hatred in his eyes, but this hatred was not directed at Jiang Ning.
“Yes, it is Yu Canghai and his disciples.”
“Yu Canghai wanted to seize the Sword Manual of Exorcism from my Lin family. He killed many of my uncles from the Fuwei Escort Agency and forced my parents to hand over the Sword Manual. I don’t know where my parents were imprisoned by him. Now I don’t know whether they are alive or dead. I beg you to help me.”
Lin Pingzhi knelt in front of Jiang Ning, tears on his face, and the tears slid down his face covered with dust, leaving several marks.
Listening to Lin Pingzhi’s words, Jiang Ning’s face showed no expression, he just looked at him.
The person in front of me can be said to be the tragedy that runs through the book “Swordsman”. His misfortune began from the very beginning.
Jiang Ning knew about his story, but he didn’t know when the Fuwei Escort Agency was wiped out. He had spent almost the previous year in Shanxi killing officials and wealthy businessmen and providing relief to disaster victims. When he went to Qingcheng Sect again, Yu Canghai and his disciples had already left the Taoist temple. When Jiang Ning returned to Huashan and learned about it from Yue Buqun, several months had passed. It was too late to go to Fujian by then.
Jiang Ning pondered for a moment and said, “I have heard about your matter from my master and our senior sister Yue Lingshan. Originally, this matter was a feud between your Lin family and Qingcheng Sect, and it was not convenient for Huashan Sect to intervene. But you suffered this fate in order to protect my senior sister, so Huashan Sect cannot stand idly by.”
The righteous sects insist on having a legitimate reason for their actions. It is undeniable that Yu Canghai’s purpose in massacring the Fuwei Escort Agency was to obtain the Book of the Sword of Exorcism, but his son died at the hands of Lin Pingzhi. Yu Canghai wanted to use revenge for his son as an excuse, so it was not convenient for other sects to intervene.
But Jiang Ning was different. Just now, when he heard Yue Lingshan talking about the trip to Fujian, he knew the details of what happened. Then he and the Huashan Sect had a reason to take action.
This is how the righteous sects are. Apart from exterminating the Demon Sect, they must have a legitimate reason to do anything else. Even if Jiang Ning wants to help Lin Pingzhi, he needs a reason, otherwise his actions will bring a reputation crisis to the Huashan Sect.
He is not Linghu Chong, who can do things according to his own likes and dislikes. He wants to lead the Huashan Sect to flourish in the right way, so he cannot act recklessly.
If the name is not right, then the words will not flow smoothly; if the words are not smooth, then things will not be accomplished.
“Get up.”
Jiang Ning said to Lin Pingzhi.
When Lin Pingzhi heard that Jiang Ning would stand up for him, his face showed excitement.
There was a reason why he didn’t look for anyone else but Jiang Ning.
Apart from the fact that Jiang Ning had just beaten up the unknown disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, and that he had seen it clearly from outside when he was fighting with Yu Canghai, he always felt that even if other people would not help him, Jiang Ning definitely would.
He made the right bet!
“thanks, thanks.”
Lin Pingzhi felt a lump in his throat and burst into tears of joy.
Originally, he was just a carefree young man from a wealthy family. After this drastic change in his family, he experienced the fickleness of human nature in just a few months, which he had never experienced in the past twenty years. The fact that this rich young man with a proud heart could make him kneel down before others shows how much of a blow he suffered.
“You don’t have to kneel to me.”
Jiang Ning asked him to stand up and said, “After Master Liu of Hengshan Sect has finished his retirement ceremony, I will personally go to Yu Canghai to ask for the person.”
Lin Pingzhi nodded repeatedly. He had been shrouded in despair for the past few months. Now that he had hope, it didn’t matter if he waited a little longer.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ning took him back to Liu Mansion.
When Yue Buqun found Jiang Ning coming back, a look of relief flashed in his eyes, but he was surprised when he saw the hunched person behind Jiang Ning.
“Master, he is Lin Pingzhi.”
Knowing what Yue Buqun was thinking, Jiang Ning said in a low voice.
“It’s him?”
There was even more surprise in Yue Buqun’s eyes. He didn’t say anything, but just looked at Jiang Ning, with the questioning look in his eyes becoming more obvious.
Jiang Ning said: “His parents were imprisoned by Yu Canghai, and he wants us to rescue them.”
Yue Buqun suddenly realized, but then frowned, and said in a tone that only Jiang Ning could hear: “How can our Huashan Sect help him without any reason?”
“He helped Senior Sister Lingshan.”
Jiang Ning didn’t say much, just said this sentence, and Yue Buqun understood what Jiang Ning meant.
Jiang Ning wanted to use Yue Lingshan as an excuse to force Yu Canghai to release the person.
Without further conversation, Yue Buqun nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed.
Lin Pingzhi was far away and didn’t know what Jiang Ning was talking about to Yue Buqun, but he saw Yue Buqun nodding, which made him even more excited.
“Huh? Who are you? Why did you come back with my junior brother? Do you know each other?”
Yue Lingshan’s voice sounded, and she looked curiously at Lin Pingzhi who was standing behind their Huashan Sect and asked.
When Lin Pingzhi saw the girl he had once rescued, he quickly shook his head, turned away and said nothing.
“strangeness.”
Yue Lingshan frowned when she saw his appearance, but then ignored it.
At this time, Jiang Ning found that the atmosphere in the field had cooled down and was not as lively as before. The people in the surrounding martial arts world were all looking at Liu Zhengfeng in the center without saying a word. At this time, Liu Zhengfeng was holding a yellow silk in his hands.
“Someone from the imperial court just came, and Junior Brother Liu received an official position from the imperial court.”
Yue Buqun explained to Jiang Ning in a low voice.
Jiang Ning nodded and understood. He had an impression of this plot.
The people from Songshan School should arrive next.
Seeing the increasingly cold attitudes of his fellow practitioners around him, Liu Zhengfeng didn’t care. Although the people in the martial arts world looked down on the imperial court and disdained to associate with it, he had already stated the reasons, and he didn’t care anymore about martial arts affairs in the future.
“Take the golden basin.”
Liu Zhengfeng said to the disciples around him.
The disciple nodded, and then brought over the golden basin that had been prepared long ago.
Liu Zhengfeng placed the imperial edict on the table, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hands and was about to put them into the basin.
“Wait a minute!”
A loud shout came from outside, and several middle-aged men hurried in with a group of people and stopped Liu Zhengfeng’s actions.
People from Songshan School have arrived.
When Jiang Ning saw the clothes they were wearing, he knew they were from the Songshan School.
Among those present, he was the most clear about the purpose of the Songshan Sect’s visit.
At the very beginning of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Liu Zhengfeng’s entire family was massacred by the Songshan Sect, and this was when he was about to retire from the underworld. The cause was Liu Zhengfeng’s friendship with Qu Yang from the Demon Sect.
Even though Jiang Ning had not watched The Smiling, Proud Wanderer much before, he had been in this world for more than ten years. He had a clear view of the actions of the Demon Cult and had seen them with his own eyes. For example, Hu Anyu from Xiangyang Prefecture. He had also seen the shadows of some people from the Demon Cult when he was traveling.
He would not immediately conclude whether all the members of the Demon Cult deserved to die, but he had heard of Qu Yang.
Jiang Ning had been to Yuzhou before when he left Xiangyang and passed through Huaiqing Prefecture on his way north, where he learned about what Qu Yang had done.
Qu Yang once dug up the tomb of Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty and stole Guangling San from the tomb. When Cai Yong’s descendants found it and wanted to get it back, he killed them all with blood.
How can such a person be said to be a white lotus that emerges from the mud of the evil sect without being stained?

“Senior Brother Lu? Senior Brother Ding? Junior Brother Fei?”
Liu Zhengfeng was surprised to see that the people sent by Songshan were Lu Bai, Ding Mian and Fei Bin.
