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

Yue Buqun said to Tianmen Daoist, "Brother Daoist, yesterday I was discussing with Daoist Chongxu the matter of finding a good weapon for my disciple, and we happened to talk about the Zhenwu Sword, the treasure of the Wudang Sect..."

I already told Yue Buqun about this yesterday. Chongxu himself also said that the Zhenwu Sword is still enshrined on Wudang Mountain. So he naturally smiled and said, "The Zhenwu Sword is the treasure of Wudang. Sect Leader Yue, please don't covet the Zhenwu Sword anymore."

Yue Buqun chuckled and said repeatedly, "How dare I, Yue?"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Chongxu asked, "Where are you two headed?"

"Ah, isn't it almost January? The inauguration ceremony of Abbess Qingzhu of Emei is not far away. I was about to ask if there was anything I could do to help when I happened to run into Daoist Tianmen."

As Yue Buqun spoke, he checked the time and exclaimed, "It's getting late. I must take my leave now. Please continue your conversation."

Yue Buqun left after saying this, leaving only Chongxu and Tianmen Daoist behind.

"Sect Leader Yue is really energetic and decisive."

Chongxu chuckled and then said to Tianmen Daoist, "If Daoist Master has nothing to do at the moment, why don't you join me in exploring Mount Emei?"

Tianmen Daoist originally wanted to help, but after hearing Chongxu's words, he could only nod and say, "Very well."

As the days passed and January approached, the Emei Sect became increasingly busy, preparing for the sect leader succession ceremony on January 1st. Several sects from the Huashan Sect also lent their help.

The Kunlun Sect, the Diancang Sect, and other sects arrived one after another, as did the Taoist priests from Qingcheng Mountain.

"Master Jiang, it's been a year since we last met. I wonder how you've been lately?"

At this moment, Zhang Quandao, the current abbot of Songfeng Temple on Mount Qingcheng, said to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Daoist Master. I am doing well."

Zhang Quandao sighed: "When I first heard the news of Layman Jiang's passing a few months ago, I was struck by lightning. How could someone as chivalrous as Layman Jiang die so young? Then I thought that perhaps the gods in heaven saw that Layman Jiang had accumulated a lot of good karma through his chivalrous deeds, so they let him go to heaven to become a god. But now that I see that Layman Jiang is safe and sound, it is the blessing of heaven."

Jiang Ning laughed.

The two chatted for a while before going about their own business.

It is now December 29th, and there are only a few days left until the Emei Sect's succession ceremony, which is also the day the five sects announce their alliance. Although outsiders do not know this yet, the five sects that know the inside story are already making preparations for it, and Jiang Ning will also be busy for a while.

Two more days passed, and tomorrow would be January 1st. Shaolin had not yet arrived, but Mount Emei was already bustling with activity, as almost all the major righteous sects except Shaolin had come.

This is the most bustling event Emei Mountain has seen in decades.

"Sect Leader Yue, tomorrow is my inauguration ceremony as sect leader. However, you will be in charge of the matters following the announcement of the Five Sects Alliance."

Master Qingzhu said to Yue Buqun.

"it is good."

Yue Buqun nodded and did not refuse.

It has now been internally confirmed that he will be the first leader of the Five Factions Alliance, so naturally he is the one to speak.

After they had reached an agreement, Yue Buqun prepared to continue his work, but Tianmen Daoist suddenly approached him.

"Sect Leader Yue, Daoist Chongxu is truly a good person!"

"?"

Chapter 466: Life doesn't have that many spectators, but today there seem to be quite a lot.

Yue Buqun was completely bewildered by Tianmen Daoren's words.

"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"

"Master Chongxu said that we belong to the same righteous sect and should watch out for each other. If the Taishan Sect encounters any difficulties in the future, the Wudang Sect will do its best to help. He will also find a way to help Nephew Jiang who lacks a suitable weapon."

Upon hearing Tianmen Daoist's words, Yue Buqun blinked and asked again, "Did Daoist Chongxu say anything else?"

The Taoist priest of Tianmen shook his head.

However, Tianmen Daoren lacked political sensitivity. Chongxu's words were very cryptic, and those without a certain level of skill could not understand their true meaning. Tianmen Daoren, on the other hand, was somewhat stubborn and completely oblivious to this. He only heard that the Wudang Sect would help them and ignored everything else Chongxu said.

Hearing Tianmen Daoist's words, Yue Buqun was quite surprised and asked again, "Didn't Daoist Chongxu say anything else?"

Taoist Tianmen shook his head somewhat blankly: "No."

"Ok."

Yue Buqun simply nodded, then suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Brother Daoist, you didn't tell Daoist Chongxu about what we said that night, did you?"

Tianmen Daoist shook his head and said, "No, Sect Leader Yue, you said before that we shouldn't tell anyone, and I know that."

"That's good."

Yue Buqun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Brother Dao, tomorrow is the inauguration ceremony of Abbess Qingzhu, which is also a big day for our Five Sects Alliance. The Demonic Sect is the mortal enemy of our righteous path. Although the Demonic Sect has split up now, we still have to be wary of Ren Woxing causing trouble again, or Dongfang Bubai leading the Demonic Sect to launch a large-scale attack."

When the topic turned to serious matters, Daoist Tianmen also became serious and nodded, saying, "Sect Leader Yue, rest assured."

After giving a few more instructions to the Taoist Tianmen, Yue Buqun left.

"Hey, where's Ning'er?"

Yue Buqun wanted to talk to Jiang Ning again, but found that Jiang Ning was nowhere to be found.

……

"Junior Sister Xiaohan, I..."

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Lu?"

Qin Xiaohan, a disciple of Emei, looked at Lu Dayou, who seemed a little awkward, with some curiosity.

Tomorrow is the succession ceremony of the Emei Sect. She originally had some things to do, but Lu Dayou suddenly invited her out to the foot of a rockery, and she didn't know what to say.

"I……"

Lu Dayou's face flushed slightly, and he moved awkwardly, hesitating to speak several times when asked questions.

"Oh, just tell me already, you're driving me crazy!"

Linghu Chong, hiding in the shadows, watched anxiously.

"Senior Brother, Sixth Brother is usually so talkative, how come he can't say a word when it really matters!"

Yue Lingshan, who was standing to the side, was also scratching her head in anxiety. She simply said, "Why don't I just go over and make things clear?"

Linghu Chong exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

"No!"

"No!"

The two shouts of "No!" startled not only Yue Lingshan but also Linghu Chong.

"who!"

Linghu Chong looked around.

He only said "no" once; the other "no" was said by someone else.

As Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan searched everywhere, a figure appeared from the shadows not far away.

"Junior Brother?"

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning?"

The two were startled, wondering why Jiang Ning was here as well.

"Junior brother, what brings you here too?"

Linghu Chong asked.

Jiang Ning remained silent, signaling the two to shut up.

"Hmm? What's that noise over there?"

Lu Dayou, who had been holding back for a long time, was about to speak when Qin Xiaohan, an Emei disciple, noticed a commotion not far behind her and turned to check. However, she found nothing amiss and turned back around.

"Senior Brother Lu, is there something you want to say to me?"

Lu Dayou, who had just mustered up his courage, immediately lost it again.

The commotion had gone unnoticed by the two parties involved, so Jiang Ning turned to Linghu Chong and smiled.

"Senior Brother, didn't you come here too?"

Linghu Chong was startled: "You also saw the letter that Lu Dayou wrote?"

Jiang Ning nodded. "Mm."

Yesterday, he went to find Lu Dayou because of some minor matters, but found that Lu Dayou was not there. He only found a letter on Lu Dayou's desk, which was addressed to the Emei disciple.

As for the contents of the letter...

It wasn't that Jiang Ning wanted to peek, but rather that it was too strange.

Lu Dayou is not usually a big reader, and he rarely writes. But yesterday, Jiang Ning couldn't help but notice that Lu Dayou had started writing letters, and to the Emei disciple with whom he had a close relationship.

The result was shocking: it turned out to be Lu Dayou's love confession letter, and he was ready to confront Lu.

After discovering this secret, Jiang Ning pretended not to have read the letter when Lu Dayou returned and asked Lu Dayou to do some things for him the next day. However, Lu Dayou politely declined. Jiang Ning then guessed that Lu Dayou was planning to confess his feelings today, so he secretly came over to take a look.

Poor Lu Dayou thought he had hidden the letter very well after writing it, but it had already been read beforehand, and even Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan knew about it.

Moreover, besides the three of them, there were many other people hiding in the shadows watching the spectacle.

Jiang Ning looked around and found that Li Jinyu of the Taishan Sect and many Huashan disciples had also hidden themselves, as well as people from the Emei Sect.

Jiang Ning glanced at the other hiding place and discovered that among the Emei disciples hiding there was actually an Emei senior.

That Emei senior was Qin Xiaohan's master.

This……

Jiang Ning remained silent.

There are quite a lot of people in the audience today.

Everyone who was supposed to be there has arrived...

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning, what happened to you too..."

Yue Lingshan was about to ask Jiang Ning why he also liked watching the excitement, but Jiang Ning stopped her before she could finish speaking.

"Senior sister, don't make a sound."
