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

Liu Zhengfeng turned around and sat down.

Jiang Ning watched Liu Zhengfeng's retreating figure.

"Take care, Uncle Liu."

Liu Zhengfeng did not look back until Jiang Ning left; he simply closed his eyes slightly.

Day two.

Liu Zhengfeng was knocked on the door. It was a member of the Sun Moon Sect who was acting on Ren Woxing's orders to summon him and others to the main hall.

Liu Zhengfeng saw Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan on his way to the lobby after leaving the house.

"Grandpa Liu."

Qu Feiyan called out, but Liu Zhengfeng did not respond.

Upon seeing this, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but bite her lip. Her mind drifted back to the time a few years ago when she was playing with Liu Zhengfeng's daughter at the Liu residence.

She and Liu Jing had such a great time back then, and Liu Zhengfeng was so kind back then, but now he has become so indifferent.

Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng's attitude towards his granddaughter remained indifferent, Qu Yang sighed.

"Brother Liu."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng not only did not reply, but even quickened his pace.

Qu Yang couldn't help but feel bitter upon seeing this, and at that moment he also noticed that something was missing from Liu Zhengfeng's waist.

"Brother Liu, where did your jade flute go?"

In the past, Liu Zhengfeng had been very fond of his jade flute and had played many tunes with it. But now the jade flute was nowhere to be found. Qu Yang was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

Liu Zhengfeng sneered.

“I, Liu Zhengfeng, am blind and cannot recognize people. I even believed others because of their music. That jade flute has harmed me greatly. What’s the point of keeping it? Of course, I should throw it away.”

"..."

Qu Yang had nothing to say.

……

"It's a pity that Ren Woxing wasn't killed by Dongfang Bubai. Someone as ambitious as him should be buried."

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong had already left Pingding Prefecture. Linghu Chong kept shaking his head along the way, feeling very sorry that Ren Woxing hadn't died at the hands of Dongfang Bubai.

"It would be even better if Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai had perished together, then the demonic path would have lost two great demons. What a pity."

Upon hearing Linghu Chong's words, Jiang Ning smiled but did not reply.

"Junior brother, shall we head straight to the capital now?"

Linghu Chong asked.

"Hmm, what's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Jiangning Road.

Linghu Chong said, "Since we're already here and not far from Hengshan, why don't we visit Master Dingxian at Hengshan first, and then head to the capital?"

Jiang Ning asked curiously, "Why would Senior Brother suddenly think of going to Hengshan?"

It's not far from Hengshan, but it's still several hundred miles away. Why would this kid want to go to Hengshan for no reason?

Could this kid be after Yilin from the Hengshan Sect...?

?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and looked Linghu Chong up and down.

Linghu Chong didn't know why Jiang Ning's gaze was a little strange, making him feel uncomfortable, but he still said matter-of-factly, "After all, we are allies with the Hengshan Sect. Since we are not far from Hengshan, we might as well go and pay a visit. It won't make a difference if we take a little more time."

Is that all?

Jiang Ning looked Linghu Chong up and down and found that Linghu Chong didn't seem to be lying.

"What Senior Brother said makes sense. It would be good to pay a visit to the Hengshan Sect."

Seeing that Jiang Ning also agreed, Linghu Chong was overjoyed.

He had been craving Shanxi Fenjiu for a long time. In the past, he could only drink it at a restaurant in Xi'an. Now he wanted to taste whether the local Shanxi Fenjiu was more authentic.

My junior brother mustn't see this!

Linghu Chong thought to himself.

Hengshan is located within Datong Prefecture. Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong rode horses for several days and arrived in Datong Prefecture.

Datong Prefecture was one of the nine important border towns of the Ming Dynasty. The city walls within its territory are clearly different from other cities in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, with mottled walls bearing the marks of time.

Upon entering a town, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong discovered a number of Hu people, who were not commonly seen in the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

They were not far from Hengshan, and Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong decided to rest for the night before setting off again tomorrow.

As Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong walked along the town's streets, they found the local customs and atmosphere quite different from those in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, which amazed Linghu Chong.

Jiang Ning planned to find an inn to stay in first, but Linghu Chong insisted on exploring the town first. As the two strolled around, they suddenly noticed a commotion not far ahead, which attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"Hmm? Something's going on?"

Linghu Chong loved watching a good show, so he darted over in a flash.

Jiang Ning followed, and at that moment, voices from the crowd could be heard.

"Spare me, spare me!"

"If I see you stealing again, I'll chop your hand off!"

First came a male voice, followed by a female voice.

Jiang Ning also squeezed into the crowd to watch, and when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In the center of the crowd, a man was lying on the ground begging for mercy. A nun stepped on the man's back and said sternly. Another nun was standing next to him.

The nun next to her was extremely beautiful; even her bald head couldn't hide her charm.

Yilin?

Chapter 534: A Few Punches and Kicks

These two nuns were actually from the Hengshan Sect, and even Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong knew them.

Zheng E and Yi Lin.

I unexpectedly ran into two people here.

Judging from the situation, it seems that the person was caught stealing by the two.

Neither of them noticed Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong in the crowd. Zheng E looked stern, while Yi Lin remained the same, looking pitiful. She stood behind Zheng E and whispered.

"Senior sister, since he has already admitted his mistake, let's give him another chance. Don't chop off his hand; that's too cruel."

Zheng E had only intended to threaten him and hadn't really meant to chop off the man's hand, but upon hearing Yilin's words, she couldn't help but feel helpless.

Her junior sister is truly innocent and kind.

"roll!"

Zheng E gave a soft shout, and the man scrambled away.

Linghu Chong was also very happy to see the two of them, and after seeing that the matter was over, he shouted loudly.

"Junior Sister Yilin, Junior Sister Zheng'e!"

Zheng E, who was about to speak to Yilin, suddenly heard someone calling her and Yilin, and turned around with a surprised look on her face.

"Brother Linghu!"

Yilin shouted happily and instinctively ran towards Linghu Chong.

Zheng E also asked in surprise, "Senior Brother Linghu, Junior Brother Jiang? What a coincidence! What brings you to Datong Prefecture?"

"My junior brother and I were traveling around the martial world, and when we came to Shanxi, we took the opportunity to visit Uncle Dingxian and you all at Hengshan."

Linghu Chong smiled and then looked at Yilin.

At this moment, Yilin looked at Linghu Chong with a gleam in her eyes, as if she had something to say, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Did you two senior sisters come here for something?"

Jiang Ning asked.

Zheng E said, "Yilin and I went down the mountain to buy food on our master's orders, and we happened to encounter that thief committing theft here."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Senior Brother Linghu, Junior Brother Jiang, since you're planning to come to Hengshan, why don't you come with us? We've already done our shopping and are about to head back soon."

Zheng E said.

Hearing her words, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong exchanged a glance, and Jiang Ning nodded, saying, "Alright."

Although he had planned to rest in this small town for one night, since Zheng E had said so, he decided not to.

Yilin looked at Linghu Chong, her emotions seemingly agitated, but she couldn't say a word. However, her emotions were almost overflowing, which Jiang Ning could clearly see from the side.

Just as the four were about to leave, several more people suddenly surrounded Jiang Ning and his companions.

"Oh, there's such a pretty little nun?"

These people, judging from their clothes and appearance, are not ordinary people. They have a lewd look on their faces and are obviously thugs.

One of them looked at Yilin's face with shining eyes, wishing he could make his move right now.

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong didn't react much to this scene, but Zheng E seemed somewhat helpless, as if she had already gotten used to it.

Without saying a word, Zheng E prepared to take action.

"This is none of your business. Get the hell out of here, or I'll break your legs!"

Some thugs started yelling at Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong.

Zheng E, who was about to make a move, was taken aback.
