The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 555

"Alas, one reaps what one sows."

Yue Buqun sighed.

"Back then, what kind of person was Hong Qigong? I never imagined that the Beggars' Sect would become such a filthy place. It's truly lamentable."

Jiang Ning remained silent in response to Yue Buqun's sigh.

"Forget it, don't mention it."

Yue Buqun shook his head and stopped mentioning it. He looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Ning'er, when do you plan to gather the righteous forces to attack Blackwood Cliff?"

When the topic turned to business, Jiang Ning's expression became serious.

"I plan to announce this matter next spring."

Yue Buqun was taken aback.

"So fast?"

He thought it would be at least two years later, no matter how fast it went.

After all, the righteous path suffered heavy losses in this battle with Ren Woxing, and they need at least two years to recuperate.

In fact, Jiang Ning originally planned to announce this matter to all the heroes after the Mount Hua Sword Tournament. However, two months after October would be the end of the year, and heavy snow would block the mountains, making travel extremely difficult. Therefore, Jiang Ning changed the date to the beginning of next spring.

However, Yue Buqun felt that time was passing too quickly, while Ning Zhongze's eyes lit up.

Actually, after defeating Ren Woxing, she wanted to take the opportunity to attack Blackwood Cliff, but Yue Buqun dissuaded her from doing so. However, when Jiang Ning brought up the matter again, Ning Zhongze became excited.

"Fast? I think it's just right!"

Ning Zhongze loudly echoed Jiang Ning's words: "If the Demonic Sect is not completely eradicated, our ancestors of the Huashan Sect will not rest in peace. In the past, we had neither the strength nor the opportunity, but now the Huashan Sect has grown stronger, and Ning'er has broken through to the Innate Realm. How can we not hurry up with the matter of eliminating the demons?"

Seeing his wife so supportive of Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"You..."

"Humph."

Ning Zhongze gave a soft hum.

Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning: "Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more. It's a good opportunity to completely eradicate the Demonic Sect so that I can wander the world with your master's wife."

"Wandering around the world?"

Jiang Ning was taken aback upon hearing this.

Was it that sudden? How come he never knew Yue Buqun had this idea before?

Yue Buqun glanced at Ning Zhongze with a smile in his eyes, then looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Actually, I have had this idea for a long time. Over the years, your master's wife and I have been working hard for the future of the Huashan Sect, but we haven't had much time to stop and take a look."

"I have decided that once the Demonic Sect is completely eradicated and the Huashan Sect is handed over to you, I can finally lay down my burden and take your mistress to wander the world and see all the beautiful scenery."

Hearing that Yue Buqun hadn't forgotten what he said to her when they got married, Ning Zhongze's expression softened.

His gaze toward Yue Buqun was filled with deep affection.

Jiang Ning looked at his master and mistress's expressions and was speechless.

"..."

Isn't he being a bit redundant here?

Chapter 755: Each Shows His Special Abilities

"cough……"

Jiang Ning stood up and said, "Master and Mistress, I have other matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you any longer."

When Yue Buqun saw Ning Zhongze looking at him with deep affection, he realized something was wrong and quickly cast a pleading look at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning, however, was oblivious. He stood up, bowed, and turned to leave without lingering.

"Ning'er..."

Upon seeing this, Yue Buqun called out, but Jiang Ning not only did not stop, he even walked faster.

Watching his most beloved disciple leave without looking back, Yue Buqun suddenly felt a pang of regret.

At this moment, Ning Zhongze's voice rang out.

"Husband..."

Upon hearing those two words, Yue Buqun's heart skipped a beat.

Turning his head, he saw Ning Zhongze staring intently at him, the affection in her eyes making him almost unable to look directly at her.

"Junior sister, I..."

Yue Buqun was about to speak, but Ning Zhongze was already moved, her eyes glistening, and her voice trembling with emotion.

“I thought that after so many years, my senior brother had forgotten what he said to me when we got married, but I didn’t expect that he still remembered it.”

Seeing Ning Zhongze's expression, even Yue Buqun couldn't help but be moved, and he stood up and embraced Ning Zhongze.

Ning Zhongze rested her head quietly against Yue Buqun's body.

Yue Buqun sighed.

They've been through so much together over the years; their love is beyond words.

Given Ning Zhongze's personality, no matter how many sweet words she says, she would never show such an expression.

It was only because Yue Buqun had remembered the promise he had made to Ning Zhongze all these years that Ning Zhongze lost control of her emotions.

Sometimes, no matter how sweet the words are, they are most precious when someone still remembers them and makes them come true after many years.

At least at this moment, Yue Buqun's words were more moving to Ning Zhongze than any love confession in the world.

Holding his beloved wife in his arms, and seeing the way she looked up at him, Yue Buqun sighed inwardly.

Ugh.

Forget it.

do my best.

……

After leaving Suoyoubuweixuan, Jiang Ning prepared to return to his residence, but found Liu Zhao standing not far away.

"Master."

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Liu Zhao jogged over and bowed.

Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "Why are you still here? Didn't you go to practice your skills?"

Liu Zhao said earnestly with a small face.

"This disciple has not seen Master for a long time and wants to stay with Master a little longer, so I will wait for Master here."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"Alright, let's go back together. I'll take this opportunity to see how your progress is going."

"Yes, Master."

Liu Zhao laughed.

Although Liu Zhao was only twelve years old at the time, he had already grown up and was quite handsome. Although he was not as handsome as Lin Pingzhi, he still had a heroic air about him.

In addition, given his demeanor, if he weren't a disciple of Mount Hua, one might mistake him for a young master from some noble family.

"Let's go."

Jiang Ning said.

"Yes."

Liu Zhao responded.

Only then did the two set off.

On his way back, Jiang Ning still encountered disciples of Emei and Kunlun.

For some unknown reason, several Emei disciples that Jiang Ning encountered seemed to have not mastered their martial arts, as they almost fell while walking on flat ground. Fortunately, they were not far from Jiang Ning, and he helped them up in time.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Jiang."

At this moment, another Emei disciple almost fell, and Jiang Ning stepped forward and reached out to support him.

The Emei disciple thanked her softly.

At this moment, she lowered her head slightly, glancing at Jiang Ning every now and then, then shyly lowering her head again. Her slightly flushed face, as if she had applied rouge, and her captivating eyes were truly a sight to behold.

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, then withdrew his hand and turned to leave.

Watching Jiang Ning leave with an unperturbed expression, the Emei disciple was stunned for a moment, then a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he cursed inwardly.

"Am I not beautiful? How come you're not tempted at all?"

Besides this Emei disciple, Jiang Ning encountered several other Emei disciples who 'almost fell', and they left without stopping as they thanked him.

"Master, they seem to be..."

Liu Zhao had been watching from the side several times, and now he looked up at Jiang Ning with some hesitation, unsure whether he should speak.

Jiang Ning's expression remained calm.

It's happened several times already, it's always the same routine, how could he not understand?

Just then, another Emei disciple walked towards them.

This Emei disciple had a graceful figure and excellent appearance. Just as she was about to approach Jiang Ning, she suddenly seemed to trip over something and cried out as she was about to fall towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning spoke calmly.

"Zhao'er."

Upon receiving his master's instruction, Liu Zhao acted swiftly, taking two steps forward to support the Emei disciple, and spoke in a slightly immature voice.

"Senior Uncle, are you alright?"

"No...it's nothing, it's nothing."

The Emei disciple stood up somewhat awkwardly, thanked Liu Zhao, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, then left.

Watching Jiang Ning's departing figure, the Emei disciple gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and then cried out again as he fell towards Jiang Ning.

At that moment, a figure quickly stepped forward and helped him up.

"Oh, Junior Brother Jiang, thank you so much... Hmm? Junior Nephew Liu?"

Liu Zhao helped him up and said with a smile, "Uncle-Master, the ground is slippery, be careful."

"Thank you, junior apprentice."

The Emei disciple stood up with resentment.

"You're welcome."

Liu Zhao laughed.

Watching Jiang Ning's retreating figure, the Emei disciple was still unwilling to give up and gritted his teeth as he jogged after him.

"Junior Brother Jiang, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning turned around and saw the Emei disciple jogging towards him. But just before reaching Jiang Ning, the disciple cried out and crashed straight into his arms.

Seeing this, Liu Zhao stepped forward to help him up, but the Emei disciple gritted his teeth and stopped his fall in mid-air. Just as Liu Zhao was about to catch him, he twisted his feet and fell towards Jiang Ning.

This Emei disciple was determined to have physical contact with Jiang Ning.

Junior nephew, you can't possibly help him up like this, can you?

The Emei disciple was secretly pleased with himself.

But Liu Zhao was quick-witted and agile. Seeing that it was too late to reach out, he swiftly extended his leg and braced it against the back of the Emei disciple just as she was about to fall. He then used his leg to push her up.

Liu Zhao's voice rang out again.
