Me and countless me.

Chapter 89 Yue Buqun's Desire for Power

However, just as Yue Buqun felt like he had gotten to know his apprentice again, Li Ke also felt Yue Buqun's ambition so directly for the first time.

To be exact, he already knew it, but he was just too explicit this time.

"Hey... Old Yue... Old Yue..."

After clenching his palms and feeling the power in them, Li Ke decided not to say anything.

Is Yue Buqun a good person?
That depends on who it is.

To these adopted disciples of Huashan Sect, they are undoubtedly good people and great benefactors, and there is no problem in saying that they are their adoptive parents.

But is he a perfect man?

Absolutely not.

At least to Lin Pingzhi, Yue Buqun is just a bastard, no different from Yu Canghai, Mu Gaofeng and others.

To Yue Lingshan and Ning Zhongze, Yue Buqun is also a bastard father.

Yue Buqun was so concerned about the dispute over sword energy, that is, whether Huashan School's martial arts should be based on training qi or swordsmanship, that he even had a rift with Linghu Chong. It was probably not only because Linghu Chong concealed the truth and was unwilling to tell Yue Buqun, but also because for Yue Buqun -

This was a mistake in approach, and it also represented that his most valued disciple was completely opposed to his views.

However, in the early days, before he broke up with Linghu Chong, he was indeed a good leader and a good master to the people of Huashan.

Although most of the time he did good things not out of sincerity, but to maintain the dignity and authority of himself as Gentleman Sword and the head of Huashan, this kind of thing cannot be judged by the heart.

"Master is actually more like a politician. Power itself is more important than the meaning it represents... When the identities of Gentleman Sword and Huashan Sect Leader can bring him absolute voice and power, he will cherish them immensely and make his behavior worthy of these two titles. But once this thought is broken, then it's over."

From the conversation just now, as well as various daily feelings, Li Ke already knew what kind of person Yue Buqun was.

A person who can do anything for power, and who can give up everything that can be given up in order to better grasp and use power.

Putting aside other things, is it really just because Linghu Chong protects his fellow junior brothers and drinks and has fun with them, while he is the one urging them to practice martial arts all day long that he, the second senior brother, is disliked by his fellow junior brothers?
Is it that Yue Buqun thinks so highly of me just because I have shown a desire to pass the imperial examination?
Yue Buqun did not say that he wanted to be emperor, but the demands he put forward, weren’t they just about wanting to be the local emperor of this province?

Moreover, after he realizes one of his ideas, his master Yue Buqun will definitely not be satisfied. He will want the territory of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. After he has the territory of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he will want to be the leader of the martial arts world. And as the leader of the martial arts world, he will control the connecting network of several provinces. Can the court still tolerate him?
Although in his own eyes, the Ming Dynasty was already a dying centipede, but for people of this era, the imperial court was still an incomparable behemoth, and it was impossible to turn a blind eye to their behavior.

I am afraid that the Ming army will arrive in a moment, and by then I will have to kill people in large numbers to intimidate the other heroes. It would be better to prepare for rebellion and change the dynasty from the beginning, which would cause less harm to the people of this world.

However, he did not act simply to repay his master's desire for power and to revive the Huashan Sect.

It’s even more because…

While Li Ke was thinking about it, he saw Linghu Chong had finished practicing sword with his fellow apprentices, and was joking with them about where they were going to go for a drink later.

But they just happened to see Li Ke walking out, so in an instant, the laughter of these people disappeared.

Lu Dayou couldn't help but say something. "It's this snitch again... ruining the fun. This guy is trying to meddle in other people's business again... even the master doesn't care much, why is he working so hard?"

Li Ke couldn't hear it in the past, but now that his physical fitness has improved and his internal strength is deep, he can hear it.

Li Ke was speechless. Yue Buqun asked him to strictly supervise the training of his fellow disciples. Li Ke also knew that in the original trajectory, all of his fellow disciples were abandoned by their master because of their low martial arts skills, or died innocently. So Li Ke didn't want these children who grew up with him to die as well.

But the problem is that he is stricter on his side, but more relaxed on Linghu Chong's side. When it comes to Yue Buqun, his punishment is still not severe, but during training, he will scold Linghu Chong in public for not disciplining his fellow disciples well.

To be honest, Yue Buqun doesn't seem like a qualified teacher and leader in this regard.

"Dayou, what nonsense are you talking about? Junior Brother Li Ke works hard for Huashan Sect every day. He lets us practice martial arts and study for our own good. This time when I followed Master down the mountain, I saw a lot of tragic situations and understood a lot of truths. We must know that when we travel in the martial arts world, the sword in our hands and the martial arts on our bodies are the foundation of our existence. Second Senior Brother is also doing this for your own good."

Linghu Chong sighed softly before speaking.

"You and I don't like reading the Four Books and Five Classics, the Classics, History, and Miscellaneous Works, and we don't want to seek fame and fortune, so that's fine. There's really no need to say this to you, Second Senior Brother. Dayou, don't say this again in the future."

He knew very well that Huashan Sect needed people like Li Ke, but when his fellow disciples came to him for help, it was difficult for him to refuse. He went to persuade Li Ke not to follow the master's rules, and as a result, his relationship with Li Ke became unpleasant.

In addition, the master obviously likes Li Ke more, and ever since Li Ke showed his talent for studying, he has paid less attention to him, so Linghu Chong has complicated feelings.

But he still wanted to get along well with Li Ke, at least there should be no conflicts.

"Big brother."

When Li Ke saw Linghu Chong, he also hurriedly bowed. In the morning, neither of them knew what to say to each other, but now they had to give each other some face.

Linghu Chong also hurriedly bowed, and then an embarrassed look appeared on his face.

"Second Junior Brother, we have practiced swordsmanship for the whole morning, so I want to take them to the mountains to escape the heat, and catch some fish to nourish Master's Wife and Lingshan. After all, in a while, I..."

Li Ke shook his head. He was too lazy to say anything to Linghu Chong and the others. He just wanted them to lie down and have a good rest. So he raised his hand and threw the key to the warehouse under his control to Linghu Chong.

"Take whatever you want. Just remember to take note, and don't drink too much to get into trouble."

"Eh!"

Linghu Chong was overjoyed. He took the key from Li Ke's hand with both hands and couldn't help but smile.

Because it means he can have a good drink!

Junior Brother Li is indeed a good person!
