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

"You're still young, there's no need to rush to improve your skills. You need to hone your abilities to go further."

Unlike other masters who would complain about their disciples' poor martial arts skills and lack of serious practice, he was the opposite, worrying that Jiang Ning was too serious.

Yue Buqun feared that Jiang Ning was too hasty, which would only deplete his potential.

“I understand, Master.”

Jiang Ning nodded; he understood this principle.

Seeing that Jiang Ning understood, Yue Buqun didn't say anything more. He always told his disciple not to worry about him.

When are you planning to come down the mountain?

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "February, then I'll go down the mountain after spring. In June, there will be the Five Mountains Sword Sect Alliance Leader Conference. If I can make it, I'll come back to Mount Hua and travel with my master. If I can't make it, we'll meet up at Mount Song."

Yue Buqun nodded.

"it is good."

There's nothing wrong with this arrangement. It's only a few months, not too long. With Jiang Ning's current strength, he can easily make his way in the world.

There are few in the martial arts world who can defeat Jiang Ning, and even fewer who can kill him. Yue Buqun is not worried at all. As long as Jiang Ning is simply traveling, he will be fine.

Thinking of this, Yue Buqun couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Jiang Ning teasingly, "Besides traveling, you're not going down the mountain this time to seek revenge on those martial arts figures, are you?"

Jiang Ning chuckled softly upon hearing this, but remained silent.

Seeing the smile on his face, Yue Buqun's heart skipped a beat.

"You wouldn't go looking for revenge on those people, would you?"

Yue Buqun asked somewhat uncertainly.

Jiang Ning remained silent.

Yue Buqun's smile froze.

"Don't worry, Master, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing Yue Buqun's expression, Jiang Ning comforted him.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Yue Buqun opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Although Jiang Ning said that, he was somewhat skeptical.

When Jiang Ning went down the mountain to Sichuan last time, he thought Jiang Ning had already cultivated himself in the mountains, but when he went there, he directly wiped out Yu Canghai's entire family.

Now that Jiangning is going down the mountain again, who knows what kind of bloodshed he will unleash next.

Yue Buqun is now somewhat reluctant to let Jiang Ning leave the mountain.

But when the words reached his lips, Yue Buqun couldn't bring himself to say them.

After a long while.

"Don't act rashly, act according to the situation, and leave immediately if there is danger. Don't be reckless."

Yue Buqun said with a hint of helplessness.

In the end, he still chose not to restrict Jiang Ning and chose to give Jiang Ning enough freedom.

"Don't worry, Master."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"What are you talking about? Come and have some tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."

At this moment, Ning Zhongze walked into the room carrying a plate.

"It's nothing, Ning'er is just planning to go down the mountain for a trip next month."

Yue Buqun laughed.

"Traveling down the mountain?"

Ning Zhong was somewhat surprised.

Yue Buqun then told her about it.

Ning Zhongze nodded in understanding, then instructed Jiang Ning: "Be careful going down the mountain, and come back immediately if there is any danger."

"Don't worry, Master's wife."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

"Come and eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls), hoping we can be reunited as a family."

Ning Zhongze distributed the glutinous rice balls to the two of them, offering her blessings.

Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun then picked up their bowls and began to taste the food.

It has red bean paste filling.

"I wonder where Ling Shan went."

Ning Zhongze also sat down, shaking her head as she ate.

"They must have gone to find Chong'er."

Yue Buqun took a bite of the glutinous rice ball and said.

Ning Zhongze shook her head again: "Now we can't find that girl all day long."

Yue Buqun couldn't help but nod: "A daughter is like a tree that cannot be kept at home once she grows up."

Jiang Ning remained silent, eating his glutinous rice balls while listening to his master and mistress chat.

"Oh, right."

Ning Zhongze seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yue Buqun: "Didn't you say last time that you had your eye on an Emei disciple? You also said you were going to ask Abbess Qingwei if Emei now forbids its disciples from getting married. How's that going?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun put down his bowl and said, "I already spoke with Abbess Qingwei a few days ago. Most of the Emei disciples are lay disciples, and they do not prohibit lay disciples from getting married. The child that Dayou likes is a lay disciple. As long as she and Dayou are in love, there should be no problem."

"That's good."

Ning Zhongze was relieved and then smiled and said, "Actually, these lads have joined my Huashan Sect. You are their master, and I am like a second mother to them. Besides their usual training, I am also worried about their marriage. If they find a good match, I, as their master's wife, can rest assured."

While saying this, Ning Zhongze did not name names, but her gaze was directed at Jiang Ning.

Seeing that his wife was implying something, Yue Buqun didn't say anything more.

Jiang Ning kept his head down, eating his glutinous rice balls without saying a word.

Chapter 266: It's not easy for the elderly to grow flowers and plants.

"Cough cough."

Yue Buqun then spoke up.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Although marriage is indeed a major event, it cannot be rushed."

Yue Buqun wouldn't care about other matters, but Jiangning is a special case, so he has to speak up.

"Hey."

Hearing Yue Buqun say this, Ning Zhongze didn't say anything more, but just sighed silently.

"Master and Mistress, this disciple takes his leave."

After finishing his meal, Jiang Ning planned to leave.

"Well, let's go."

Yue Buqun also put down his bowl and prepared to go find Tianmen Daoist to play chess.

He usually enjoys playing chess, but no one from the Huashan Sect plays with him. Now that Tianmen Daoist has arrived, Yue Buqun can finally indulge in his passion.

Watching the two figures of master and disciple leave one after the other, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but shake her head.

"Let's hold an internal assessment in a few days."

While walking on the road, Yue Buqun suddenly brought up a topic.

Since learning that Ren Yingying's subordinates were planning to besiege Mount Hua, the monthly internal assessments have been suspended. They had to focus on fighting the enemy. Now that the crisis has been resolved, it's time to resume the assessments.

"You can host it then."

Yue Buqun suddenly said.

"I?"

Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Although his martial arts skills were second only to Yue Buqun in the Huashan Sect, Lu Dayou and the others were his senior brothers, so it was against the rules to let him preside over the assessment.

"fine."

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "The main target of this assessment is those newly recruited disciples, all of whom are your junior brothers."

The dozens of new disciples who joined the Huashan Sect were all quite young. They usually just exercised and practiced basic Huashan sword techniques.

“We’ve been preparing for this battle all this time. Da You and Liang Fa haven’t had time to practice. The Huashan crisis has only just passed, so it’s pointless to test them. On the contrary, Zhao’er and Ye Ying didn’t participate in the preparation. This test is mainly to see if they’ve been slacking off. You’re the most suitable person to preside over it.”

"As for Dayou and Liangfa, they will be assessed again next month."

As Yue Buqun walked, he suddenly remembered something: "Right, Ping'er doesn't need to participate in this assessment either."

Although Lin Pingzhi did not participate in the preparations for the battle at Mount Hua, he was being chased all the way down the mountain, so he probably didn't have much time to practice his skills.

"I will have Da You and the others assist you at that time."

"it is good."

Without much hesitation, Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

After finishing his business, Yue Buqun went to play chess with Tianmen Daoist with a smile on his face.

Jiang Ning returned to his room, but his eyes widened in surprise as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"Oh, Grandpa Mao is back?"

There, edamame, which hadn't been seen for a long time, was munching on the grass.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Maodou raised its head and galloped towards Jiang Ning on its donkey hooves, but Jiang Ning dodged to the side, avoiding its wild donkey charge.
