The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

The dusk was as dark as ink, quietly permeating the outline of the villa. The cold wind whistled through the mountain path, making a sharp sound.

The footsteps made a dull sound as they stepped on the bluestone road.

After leaving the room, Yue Buqun looked at Yi Huawei:
"Wei'er, what's the matter with that beggar? Where did you bring him back from?"

Just now in the banquet hall, although Lin Pingzhi was dressed like a beggar, judging from his words and actions, he looked like a handsome young man from a wealthy family.

Moreover, hearing from others, it was actually brought back by his disciple. Yue Buqun understood Yi Huawei's character. If it was an ordinary beggar with hands and feet, the probability of being beaten by his disciple would be much higher, so he would never keep him around.

Yi Huawei raised his eyes slightly and met Yue Buqun's gaze. He knew that his master must be full of doubts about Lin Pingzhi's appearance. The corners of his mouth rose, revealing a faint smile, and he replied calmly:

"Master, he is Lin Pingzhi, the son of Lin Zhennan from the Fuwei Escort Agency. When I was passing through Changsha, I happened to see disciples from the Qingcheng Sect robbing the Changsha branch of the Fuwei Escort Agency."

"He is Lin Zhennan's son?"

After listening to Yi Huawei's words, Yue Buqun's eyes flickered and his brows slightly frowned: "Qingcheng Sect? They have always kept to themselves and the Fuwei Escort Agency, why would they suddenly attack them?"

Yi Huawei lowered his head slightly and said slowly: "I also felt strange at first. Later I learned that the head of Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, has coveted the Lin family's "Bixie Sword Manual" for a long time. This time, I am afraid he found an excuse to instruct the disciples to make trouble. Now they have captured Lin Zhennan to force him to tell them the Bixie Sword Method."

Yi Huawei sighed and said, "Although the Lin family is well-known in Fujian, they are now powerless to fight back against the Qingcheng Sect. The entire escort agency suffered heavy casualties. Lin Pingzhi had no choice but to disguise himself as a beggar and flee for his life."

Yue Buqun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then why did you bring him back? You have always been straightforward. You would probably find it troublesome to even beat up a beggar with hands and feet, let alone keep him with you."

Yi Huawei smiled and replied seriously, "Master, I think he is quite gentlemanly. He knows when to act and when to retreat. He looks like a handsome young man from a wealthy family. He has some of Master's shadow. It's just that his martial arts skills are too low. He has good comprehension, but the sword skills inherited from his family are complicated and not sophisticated enough. He is not good enough for the hall. Even the disciples of Qingcheng Sect cannot beat him. So I brought him back and let Master arrange it."

Yue Buqun nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "It is rare that you can appreciate his character. However, the world is treacherous and people's hearts are unpredictable. Don't be fooled by appearances."

Yi Huawei replied respectfully:
"I understand. I just think that Lin Pingzhi is very eloquent and has his own opinions on martial arts. If he can concentrate on training in Huashan Sect, he will surely achieve something in the future."

Yue Buqun walked to the railing nearby, held onto it, looked at the night scene below the mountain, and said thoughtfully: "The Fuwei Escort Agency is well-known in the martial arts world. Now that it has encountered such a disaster, I'm afraid that Lin Pingzhi must have suffered a lot."

Yi Huawei stepped forward, stood behind Yue Buqun, and said, "Yes, Master. When Lin Pingzhi talked about the misfortune in his family, his eyes were full of sadness, but also revealed a sense of unwillingness. I think that if I can let him learn martial arts in Huashan Sect, I can provide him with protection and also add strength to our Huashan Sect."

Yue Buqun turned around and stared at Yi Huawei. "You brought him back, but have you ever thought that this might bring trouble to Huashan Sect? Since Qingcheng Sect has set its sights on the Lin family's "Bixie Sword Manual", I'm afraid they won't let it go. If they knew that Lin Pingzhi was in Huashan Sect, they might come looking for him."

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "I understand the pros and cons of this, but if I ignore a person in trouble because I am afraid of trouble, how can I live up to the chivalrous way that Master has taught us? If someone comes to cause trouble for this reason, we will just fight them! The Qingcheng Sect, under the leadership of Yu Canghai, has a perverse and cruel style of doing things. They covet the Lin Family Sword Manual and use any means to do so. How can their actions be half of the style of a righteous sect? In my opinion, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a crooked sect!"

"Be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, as if he was blaming Yi Huawei for his rash words, but then a look of relief quietly emerged. Yue Buqun thought to himself that it was rare for this disciple to be able to uphold the chivalrous heart and not fear the powerful.

Yue Buqun calmed down and said, "Well, you are worthy of being my disciple. Since you brought Lin Pingzhi back, I will not make things difficult for you. If he wants to join the Huashan Sect, let him become a disciple. This way, we will have a legitimate reason to go to Yu Canghai to ask for an explanation."

"Yu Canghai is arrogant. If he knew that Lin Pingzhi was in my Huashan Sect, he would not give up easily. But our Huashan Sect is definitely not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone. It is reasonable for us to ask him for someone. If he dares to act recklessly, he will be an enemy of the entire righteous martial arts world."

After hearing what his master said, Yi Huawei hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, you have a long-term plan. This arrangement not only protects Lin Pingzhi, but also occupies a righteous position in the martial arts world. But Yu Canghai has always been insidious and cunning, I'm afraid he won't give up easily."

Yue Buqun nodded slightly and said, "Of course. So, we must be fully prepared. When Lin Pingzhi joins the sect, you must give him plenty of advice so that he can get familiar with the Huashan Sect's rules and techniques as quickly as possible. I will also teach him personally to help him improve his martial arts."

Yi Huawei received the order and said:

"Yes, I will do my best."

Yue Buqun continued, "This matter concerns the reputation of our Huashan Sect. We must not let Yu Canghai look down on us."

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "Master, rest assured. I will not let you down. With you and my fellow disciples here, even if Yu Canghai has another conspiracy, our Huashan Sect will be able to deal with it calmly."

Yue Buqun patted Yi Huawei on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I feel relieved now that you said that. Go and call Lin Pingzhi over. I want to ask him personally what he thinks."

Yi Huawei responded, turned around and left quickly. After a moment, he brought Lin Pingzhi to Yue Buqun.

When Lin Pingzhi saw Yue Buqun, he immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "Junior Lin Pingzhi, I pay my respects to Sect Master Yue."

Yue Buqun looked at Lin Pingzhi and said after a moment:
"Get up. Wei'er has told me about your situation. Now, I want to ask you, are you willing to join the Huashan Sect and become my Huashan disciple?"

When Lin Pingzhi heard this, a hint of surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes. He knelt down again and kowtowed, saying, "If Sect Leader Yue is willing to take me in, I would be more than happy to do so. I am willing to join the Huashan Sect, follow Sect Leader Yue and my fellow brothers, and concentrate on learning martial arts. I will serve the Huashan Sect in the future."

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, from today on, you will be a disciple of my Huashan Sect. We will find another day to perform the apprenticeship ceremony. Get up now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Pingzhi hurriedly kowtowed three times to Yue Buqun. Then, he turned around abruptly, faced Yi Huawei, and kowtowed heavily with a "thump".

"I will never forget Senior Brother's kindness. If it weren't for Senior Brother's help, I, Lin Pingzhi, would have died at the hands of Qingcheng Sect, not to mention the chance to join Huashan Sect. I will remember this kindness in my heart, and I will repay Senior Brother with all my heart and soul in the future."

Lin Pingzhi spoke very quickly and kowtowed several times, causing his forehead to turn red and swollen.

"Okay, get up!"

Upon seeing this, Yi Huawei quickly stretched out his hands, firmly grasped Lin Pingzhi's arms, and helped him up: "We are all brothers in the Huashan Sect now, so there is no need to be so polite in the future. Your ability to join the Huashan Sect is also your own opportunity."

Yi Huawei patted Lin Pingzhi's shoulder gently and said, "In the future, in the sect, practice martial arts diligently and follow the master's teachings. This will be the best way to repay everyone."

Lin Pingzhi stood up straight and nodded vigorously, his eyes full of determination: "Brother, don't worry, Pingzhi will definitely not slack off."

Yue Buqun looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and took the initiative to say: "Let's go, I heard that your parents are still in Yu Canghai's hands, let's go find him now!"

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

When Lin Pingzhi heard this, he was stunned at first, as if he didn't react. Then, his eyes quickly turned red, and he bent his knees and was about to kneel down to perform the great ceremony.

Upon seeing this, Yue Buqun shot out his hands like lightning, firmly holding up Lin Pingzhi's arms to prevent him from kneeling.

Yue Buqun looked gentle, and his tone was full of emotion: "Filial piety comes first among all virtues. Your filial piety is seen by your master. I will definitely not sit idly by when it comes to your parents' affairs."

Lin Pingzhi looked at Yue Buqun, his eyes full of gratitude and trust, his lips trembling slightly, but he was speechless for a moment.

"Without further delay, let's go find Yu Canghai now."

Yue Buqun turned around and walked towards the guest room area, and Lin Pingzhi hurriedly followed him.

With Yue Buqun stepping forward and Yi Huawei watching covetously from the side, Yu Canghai knew that no matter how many of them attacked, they were no match for the master and disciple. Also, he knew he was in the wrong, so he had to agree to release Lin Zhennan and his wife after Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony was over.

Lin Pingzhi expressed his gratitude to Yue Buqun again.

Yue Buqun nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and raised his hand to signal him to stand up. Then, Yue Buqun turned to Yi Huawei and other disciples and said, "From today on, Lin Pingzhi officially becomes a disciple of our Huashan Sect. From now on, you are all fellow disciples and need to take care of and support each other."

Yue Lingshan, who was standing at the side, instantly lit up her eyes, raised her lips, and revealed two deep dimples. She clapped her hands excitedly and jumped to Lin Pingzhi: "Great! Finally, I have a junior brother! From now on, if you don't understand anything, just come to me."

Lao Denuo walked forward, patted Lin Pingzhi on the shoulder, and said, "Little Junior Brother, don't worry too much. We will be there for you in Huashan Sect in the future."

Other fellow disciples also gathered around, expressing their welcome and encouragement to Lin Pingzhi one after another.

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "Yes, when we get back to Huashan, we must have a good time to welcome our junior brother."

Everyone agreed after hearing this. Yue Lingshan smiled and said, "That's right! When we return to Huashan, let my mother cook some of her specialties and we can have a good gathering together."

Lin Pingzhi looked at his enthusiastic fellow disciples and felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He was so excited that he was speechless and could only nod his head continuously.

...............

In the guest room, the candlelight flickered, and the dim light cast mottled shadows on the wall.

Yu Canghai was wearing a dark robe and sitting at the table. The teacup in front of him had long lost its heat, but he was completely unaware.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang", Yu Canghai slapped the table hard. The teacup on the table jumped up and the tea splashed out and spilled onto the table.

"This is simply unreasonable!"

Yu Canghai’s face turned pale, his eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and he roared angrily.

Hou Renying, who was standing aside, trembled slightly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, lowered his head slightly, stole a glance at Yu Canghai, and said cautiously: "Master, now even Huashan Sect has intervened."

He paused, his eyes flickered, his brows knitted, and he looked troubled: "Things are getting even more difficult."

"Does your teacher need your reminder?" Yu Canghai turned his head suddenly, glared at Hou Renying, and shouted angrily:
"You don't know that you are a teacher?"

"No ..."

Hou Renying was so frightened that he immediately straightened up, not daring to breathe.

Yu Canghai stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the room.

"Lin Pingzhi is now taking refuge in the Huashan Sect, and Yue Buqun is not a good man." Yu Canghai gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Add to that Yue Huawei, that brat, humph, it will not be so easy for us to deal with Lin Pingzhi in the future."

Hong Renxiong had been standing in the corner, frowning, his face full of worry, and he slowly said, "Master... are we really going to let Lin Zhennan and his wife go? Wouldn't that mean all our efforts would be wasted and we would fail at the last moment?"

As he spoke, he raised his head, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Master, along the way we brothers and I tortured them and beat them until their skin was torn and flesh was exposed." Hou Renying continued, with no guilt on his face, as if he was describing a very ordinary matter. "It's a pity that the two old guys are still stubborn and refuse to reveal the whereabouts of the Sword Manual of Exorcism. If we had captured Lin Pingzhi, we would definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of the Sword Manual of Exorcism."

"Why are you here to talk hindsight?"

Yu Canghai stopped abruptly, turned around and glared at Hou Renying again: "Things have already come to this, what's the point of saying this?"

Hou Renying was so scared that he quickly lowered his head, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The room instantly fell into a dead silence, with only the sound of Yu Canghai's heavy breathing. After a long time, Yu Canghai slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He sat back in his chair, tapping the table with his fingers, making a rhythmic sound, as if he was thinking about something.
