The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

"Okay, let's go back."

Taoist Zhang said to the remaining Taoists.

Only now did a different light finally appear in the eyes of these children. Only now did they understand that they had been saved.

Jiang Ning also planned to go back to Qingcheng Mountain first, and then return to Huashan after finishing things here.

On the road, Jiang Ning was walking in front when suddenly someone grabbed the corner of his clothes from behind. Jiang Ning looked back and found that it was the little beggar he met for the first time.

"Thank you, sir."

The child whispered.

From the previous explanations given by the Taoist priests, he knew that it was Jiang Ning who brought people to rescue them.

Originally he thought that it was just an ordinary meeting that day, but he didn't know that from the first time he and Jiang Ning met, the gears of his destiny had quietly turned and changed. From then on, there was a ray of light in his gloomy life.

Jiang Ning looked at him and smiled.

He looked at the light in the child's eyes, and he had seen it in many others' eyes.

He likes this kind of light.

"Uncle, what's your name?"

The child plucked up the courage to ask weakly.

He wanted to remember Jiang Ning.

"Jiangning, Jiang means river, Ning means peace."

Chapter 146: Liu Zhao

After returning to Qingcheng Mountain, more than a dozen Taoist temples chose to take in and raise these children, and they also accepted this result.

As for their expenses and spending, the Taoists found a lot of silver from the Qing Gang, which was all looted by the Qing Gang through trickery and plunder, but it was not much, only a few thousand taels.

Actually, the Qing Gang originally had more than this amount of silver, but it was all taken away by the Sun and Moon Sect, leaving only this little.

Although it is not much, it is enough to support them, not to mention that these Taoist temples have their own fields.

As for the property deeds of the Qing Gang, these Taoists planned to return those that belonged to the common people, basically those that Jiang Ning had done in Xiangyang two years ago.

These Taoists learned these practices from Jiangning.

However, this kind of thing is very complicated to do, so these Taoists are quite busy these days, and Jiang Ning has become free.

"Good morning, sir."

Songfengguan.

A Taoist boy bowed to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning has lived here for a few days. Although he is not very familiar with them, the relationship is not so awkward either. They will say hello when they see Jiang Ning.

Now, apart from Taoist Zhang and his fellow disciples, the only people left in Songfeng Temple are these little Taoist children and the children who were taken in two days ago.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly to the Taoist boy, then walked around the temple and saw the children who were rescued from Wuyi Lane on the way.

They were sitting in the yard basking in the sun, wearing new clothes that were no longer dirty. After their initial confusion, they now had settled smiles on their faces.

Among the group of children, there was one who saw Jiang Ning and was limping towards him, with a child following behind him.

"Brother Jiang Ning."

The child came up to Jiang Ning and shouted.

After knowing Jiang Ning's name, he no longer called him "uncle" and a smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Ning smiled at him: "Are you used to it these days?"

"Ok!"

The child nodded vigorously. This place was much better than Wuyi Lane.

He looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Brother Jiang Ning, are you leaving?"

There was tension and reluctance in his expression.

He knew that Jiang Ning was not from here and would leave sooner or later.

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Yes."

He was indeed planning to leave in a few days. He had been out for a long time this time, and he was afraid that if he didn't go back, Yue Buqun would come down the mountain to find him.

The child looked lost when he heard this.

Although it was only a few days, he had a good impression of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning smiled, patted his shoulder, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

thump!

"Please accept me as your disciple!"

Jiang Ning turned around and found that it was the child following that child who was kneeling down and kowtowing to him.

The limping child was also surprised when he saw this.

The kid had been asking him about Jiang Ning these days, and he had no idea that the kid actually had such an idea.

Jiang Ning looked at him and said nothing.

He remembered this child. He was the only one with a healthy body among the group of children. He had been taken to Wuyi Lane by the Green Gang not long ago, and they had not yet started to attack him.

But it was not this that made Jiang Ning remember him. After the Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain rescued them, it was this child who helped them calm down the children's emotions. At that time, it was also he who stood in front of those children and faced Jiang Ning.

After arriving at Qingcheng Mountain, when the Taoists were assigning Taoist temples to these children, this child did not choose one, so no one knew what he was thinking. Unexpectedly, he said this at this moment.

Jiang Ning looked at him and shook his head: "I have no plans to accept a disciple for the time being."

He is not old enough to accept disciples. As for Huashan Sect, it has already accepted a round of disciples in the past few months and it is not appropriate to accept this child as a disciple again. Letting him stay in Songfeng Temple is the best option.

The child paused after hearing Jiang Ning's words, but still knelt on the ground and did not get up.

Jiang Ning stretched out his hand and pulled him up, saying: "If you want to learn martial arts, you can also learn in Songfeng Temple. You don't have to worship me as your master."

After saying that, Jiang Ning turned and left. The child looked at Jiang Ning's back in silence.

At night, Jiang Ning returned to his room and found a man kneeling at his door.

It was the child from the daytime.

After seeing Jiang Ning, he kowtowed to Jiang Ning again.

"Please, hero, accept me as your disciple."

It’s the same sentence I said during the day.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, but still said, "I have no plans to accept a disciple for the time being."

This was the second time he was rejected, but the child still had the same expression and still stubbornly knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

Seeing that he was still kneeling on the ground, Jiang Ning stepped forward and reached out to pull him up, but the next second the child knelt down again.

"Please, hero, accept me as your disciple."

Still the same sentence.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything else and turned to go into the house.

He is not suitable to accept disciples now, and he has no plans to do so.

This child may just be acting on a whim and may not be able to hold on for long before leaving.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Ning pushed open the door and was about to practice sword, but he found a small figure at the door.

It was the kid who said yesterday that he wanted to be his disciple. At this moment, he was curled up on the ground, breathing steadily, and seemed to be asleep.

The child woke up after hearing the door open, and when he saw Jiang Ning, he quickly stood up and continued to kneel.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised by the child's stubbornness.

Jiang Ning came up to him and looked at him without saying anything. The child just looked up at Jiang Ning, then lowered his head and continued to kneel, with a stubborn look on his face.

"Why do you have to take me as your master?"

The child raised his head again with surprise in his eyes. He thought Jiang Ning would continue to ignore him.

"You are a good person. I want to learn from you and become like you."

There was no hesitation, as if I had answered it countless times in my mind.

Jiang Ning looked at him quietly.

After a while.

"What's your name?"

Jiang Ning asked.

"I don't have a name. My parents call me a bastard."

The child replied.

"what?"

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment.

The child continued, "My mother died early, and my father was the only one left at home. Later, he found me a stepmother. My stepmother called me a bastard, and my father called me that, too."

"Later, my father fell ill and died, and my stepmother kicked me out."

Jiang Ning didn't say anything when he heard this.

After a while.

"If you really want to become my disciple, I can take you back to Huashan. Then, if my master agrees, you can become my disciple and join my Huashan Sect."

Jiang Ning said.

Although Huashan Sect has already recruited disciples once, it doesn’t matter if there is one more.

There is nothing wrong with the character of this kid. The fact that he was able to stand up in front of the group of little beggars for the first time without knowing who Jiang Ning was shows that he has a good nature. As long as we take him back, Yue Buqun will most likely agree.
