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

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then looked up at Linghu Chong and smiled.

"What kind of elder does Senior Brother want to become?"

When asked, Linghu Chong quickly replied, "Anything is fine, I'm not picky."

Jiang Ning laughed again and said.

"I thought that since Senior Brother is a free and easy person, assigning him sect affairs would hinder his martial arts progress, so I didn't make any arrangements."

"However, since Senior Brother has said so, I will arrange for Senior Brother to have a very important elder position."

Linghu Chong became expectant upon hearing this.

"What location?"

"Eldest brother, you shall become the elder of the Cliff of Repentance and guard it for a long time."

Chapter 772: Walking on Mount Hua

"What?!!!"

Linghu Chong's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

Jiang Ning knew that he used to be punished by Yue Buqun and made to face the wall on the Cliff of Contemplation. Now, making him the elder of the Cliff of Contemplation was just a joke to him.

Jiang Ning then said seriously, "Senior Brother, as the number of disciples in our Huashan Sect increases in the future, there will inevitably be some disciples who do not abide by the sect rules. When they are punished by facing the wall at the Cliff of Repentance, someone will be needed to watch over them to prevent them from being passive in the face of punishment."

"Senior Brother, your position is very important."

Linghu Chong, who was initially filled with grief and indignation, was stunned after hearing Jiang Ning's words.

"Is...is that so?"

Is it that important?

Linghu Chong asked uncertainly.

"Of course it's important."

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "I can say that I can't live without you."

Seemingly surprised to be valued so much by Jiang Ning, he tried to suppress it, but the corners of his mouth still involuntarily turned up.

"Since Junior Brother has said so, it seems that the position of Elder of the Cliff of Repentance is truly indispensable to me..."

Just as Linghu Chong was about to say that he would reluctantly agree, Yue Lingshan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Linghu Chong turned his head to look.

"Junior sister, what are you laughing at?"

"Senior Brother, are you really going to become an elder of the Cliff of Repentance?"

Yue Lingshan asked with a smile.

Linghu Chong nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Junior Brother is right, this position is indeed very important. Since Junior Brother values ​​me so much, it wouldn't be right for me to take it..."

"fool."

Yue Lingshan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Linghu Chong, interrupting him.

"The punished Huashan disciples will be dealt with by the elders of the Discipline Peak. Wouldn't it be redundant to bring in an elder from the Reflection Cliff as well?"

"Junior brother is just teasing you!"

Linghu Chong was taken aback by Yue Lingshan's words. He then widened his eyes and turned to look at Jiang Ning. He noticed a smile on Jiang Ning's lips and suddenly realized what was going on.

"Junior brother, you're lying to me!"

Linghu Chong said with grief and indignation.

He trusted Jiang Ning so much, but it turns out Jiang Ning was just teasing him all along.

Isn't this just taking advantage of his poor brain?

If Jiang Ning weren't already at the Innate Realm, he would definitely want to spar with him.

Jiang Ning laughed as well, and then said.

“It’s not that I don’t want to make arrangements for Senior Brother, it’s just that Senior Brother is carefree by nature. If I were to assign tasks to Senior Brother, it would only restrict you.”

Linghu Chong is naturally averse to meddling in things. If Jiang Ning were to entrust Linghu Chong with tasks, he would probably become lazy after a short time.

Another issue is that Linghu Chong loves to drink. Although he doesn't get drunk as often as before, Jiang Ning is still worried that he might make mistakes due to drinking.

Moreover, Jiang Ning was also worried that, given Linghu Chong's temperament, if a Huashan disciple were to try and get close to him with wine in the future, Linghu Chong might get so excited that he wouldn't care about anything else.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Linghu Chong immediately assured him, "Junior brother, don't worry, I will definitely do my job properly."

Since Linghu Chong had already said so, Jiang Ning couldn't refuse any longer and began to ponder.

Linghu Chong stared longingly at Jiang Ning.

After a while.

Jiang Ning then said, "Senior Brother, there's nothing much for you to do right now. If you're bored, you can become an Instructor and teach martial arts to the Huashan disciples."

Hearing Jiang Ning say this, Linghu Chong was somewhat disappointed, but he still nodded.

Jiang Ning continued, "After the disciples of Mount Hua descend the mountain to travel in the future, I will appoint my senior brother as a member of the Mount Hua Traveling Rank."

"Walking on Mount Hua? What does that mean?"

Linghu Chong asked curiously.

"In the future, when Huashan disciples travel outside, it is inevitable that some Huashan disciples will use their status to bully the good and kind. If the eldest brother encounters Huashan disciples bullying the people or being attacked by evil sects while traveling, the eldest brother can punish and rescue the Huashan disciples who are away."

"Of course, the expenses incurred by the eldest brother while traveling outside can be reimbursed by the sect."

Linghu Chong's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Isn't this just giving him money so he can go out and have fun, and incidentally letting him enforce the rules of Huashan disciples outside the sect?

"Okay, okay, this is good."

Linghu Chong immediately beamed with joy.

"My junior brother understands me best."

Jiang Ning also laughed.

He knew that Linghu Chong was a restless person who couldn't sit still on the mountain and liked to go down the mountain for a stroll whenever he had nothing to do. He would probably be the same after he became an elder.

Rather than doing that, Jiang Ning might as well let Linghu Chong go down the mountain to play, as long as he doesn't cause trouble.

Linghu Chong was overjoyed and quickly made a guarantee to Jiang Ning.

"Don't worry, junior brother, I promise I won't let you down."

Yue Lingshan, who was standing nearby, also spoke up after hearing Jiang Ning arrange things for Linghu Chong.

"Junior brother, junior brother, what about me?"

Jiang Ning glanced at her and pondered for a moment before saying, "Senior Sister, you can be in charge of supervising Senior Brother."

"The eldest brother is addicted to alcohol. When the eldest brother is out with his sister, she must keep an eye on his words and actions at all times and not allow him to drink and cause trouble."

Yue Lingshan beamed with joy upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, junior brother!"

After saying that, Yue Lingshan gave Linghu Chong a provocative look.

Linghu Chong chuckled.

The young couple left happily after receiving Jiang Ning's promise.

Watching the two figures leave, Jiang Ning's smile remained, but then returned to calm as he turned and left.

When the news reached Yue Buqun's ears that Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan had important business to discuss with Jiang Ning, he couldn't help but laugh and scold them.

"That brat is always making things difficult for Ning'er. He spends all day with his wine jug, never letting it out of his sight. What can he possibly do?"

Ning Zhongze smiled to himself.

"Chong'er also wanted to share some of the pressure with Ning'er."

Yue Buqun nodded.

This is true.

"Ning'er will be going to conquer Blackwood Cliff next March, so Ning'er needs to go into seclusion now."

Leaving aside Linghu Chong's matter, Yue Buqun brought up the main issue.

"We two need to observe the situation inside the gate more closely."

"Ah."

Ning Zhongze nodded as well.

……

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Boss, is this really going to work?"

A large group of people were walking in a certain direction, braving the swirling snow.

An elder looked at Jie Feng with a worried expression.

"Chief, are we really going to Blackwood Cliff to seek refuge with Dongfang Bubai?"

As soon as the elder spoke, everyone else looked at Jie Feng.

"Yes, Chief, our Beggars' Sect used to be considered righteous. Are we really going to side with the Demonic Sect now?"

"right way?"

Upon hearing this, Jie Feng glanced at them.

"Do they still consider us to be the righteous path? Jiang Ning has now broken through to the Innate Realm, how could he possibly let our Beggars' Sect go? Shaolin has also abandoned us. If we don't make changes, we'll have to hide and run like stray dogs from now on."

"Now Dongfang Bubai is also at the Innate Realm, and he has made an agreement with Jiang Ning to have a decisive battle a year later. As long as Dongfang Bubai defeats Jiang Ning and kills him, we will no longer have to live this life of hiding and running away."
