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

Page 237

He didn't know most of the gangsters who were chasing him. The people on the list were all Lin Zhennan's good friends during his lifetime, and Lin Pingzhi knew these people.

"Luoyang, Plum Sword Villa, Zhao Tianlai?"

Jiang Ning softly read out one of the names.

This name is stronger than the other names, as if Lin Pingzhi had a deeper hatred for the owner of this name when he wrote it.

"Ah."

Hearing this name, Lin Pingzhi's expression turned cold.

This Zhao Tianlai was his father’s best friend, and the one who hurt him the most.

Meijian Villa is a force in Luoyang, and is located in the same Luoyang as the Jindao Gate, the family of Lin Pingzhi's mother, Mrs. Wang.

"Zhao Tianlai is the owner of Plum Sword Villa, and he is a close friend of my father."

Lin Pingzhi recounted the past relationship between his Fuwei Escort Agency and Meijian Villa.

When Lin Pingzhi was a child, he was held in the arms of Zhao Tianlai. The relationship between the two families was so close that they even arranged a marriage for the two children, allowing Lin Pingzhi and Zhao Tianlai's daughter to get married when they grew up.

"When Master Cheng and I fled all the way to Luoyang, Master Cheng was already injured. I wanted to ask Zhao Tianlai to find a doctor to treat Master Cheng's injury, but he was very enthusiastic about us on the surface. He arranged a place for Master Cheng and me to live, and asked my fiancée to approach me, saying that I had suffered a lot from the hardships of wandering all the way, and asked her to take care of me."

Lin Pingzhi's expression was calm, but his voice was extremely cold when he talked about his fiancée.

"But in fact, Zhao Tianlai wanted his daughter to get the whereabouts of the Sword Manual of Exorcism from me."

The cassock that Lin Pingzhi obtained in his hometown in Fujian was taken away by a group of men in black as soon as he got it. He did not have the Sword Manual of Exorcism on him. He only knew some ordinary sword techniques, which were different from the real Sword Manual of Exorcism.

It was a waste of effort for Zhao Tianlai and some other people in the martial arts world who wanted to obtain the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism to look for him. The beatings that Lin Pingzhi and Cheng Buyou received along the way were really unfair.

Lin Pingzhi spoke slowly, his face becoming increasingly cold.

"After Zhao Tianlai's daughter couldn't get the whereabouts of the Sword Manual of Exorcism from me, she drugged me and Master Cheng. It was Master Cheng who discovered something was wrong, and later he took me out of Plum Sword Villa and killed us."

Lin Pingzhi still remembers that Zhao Tianlai always called him a good nephew and each of his blows was more ruthless than the last.

Cheng Buyou also suffered the most serious injury that time.

It can be said that Zhao Tianlai is the person Lin Pingzhi hates the most throughout his journey. This hatred makes him toss and turn every night and he grits his teeth in hatred.

The relationship between the Lin family and the Zhao family is extraordinary. If the Fuwei Escort Agency had not been wiped out by Yu Canghai, the two families would have become relatives. The relationship between the two families is even closer than that between Lin Pingzhi's grandfather Wang Yuanba's family. Otherwise, the first person Lin Pingzhi looked for when he fled to Luoyang would be Zhao Tianlai.

However, the person whom Lin Pingzhi trusted the most hurt him the most.

At the same time, Lin Pingzhi also felt deeply sorry for Cheng Buyou.

Ultimately, he doesn't understand the wickedness of human nature and the principle that people will forget about you when you leave.

"Senior brother."

Lin Pingzhi then said: "If you want to go to Luoyang, you can go to my grandfather, he should be able to help you."

"Ah."

Jiang Ning smiled, nodded, and then brought up other topics.

"Is Master Cheng feeling better now?"

Lin Pingzhi nodded: "Uncle Cheng is much better now. He is resting now. His injuries will probably heal in two months."

When talking about Cheng Buyou's situation, Lin Pingzhi's expression finally relaxed.

This time during his trip to Fujian, Cheng Buyou really saved his life. If it weren’t for Cheng Buyou, he would have lost his life in Fujian.

"That's good."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Since there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Okay, senior brother, walk slowly."

Lin Pingzhi nodded, sent Jiang Ning out, and then picked up the broom to continue sweeping the snow.

……

After returning from Chaoyang Peak, Jiang Ning saw Linghu Chong pacing back and forth in front of his residence.

"Eldest brother?"

Jiang Ning was a little surprised.

"Junior brother, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing Jiang Ning coming back, Linghu Chong's eyes lit up and he walked forward quickly.

"what happened?"

Jiang Ning asked doubtfully.

"Junior brother, let's talk inside."

Linghu Chong didn't say much. He just said something to Jiang Ning and went into Jiang Ning's room.

Seeing Linghu Chong's mysterious look, Jiang Ning became a little suspicious.

Is this guy going to consult him about relationship problems again?

Why make it so mysterious?

Jiang Ning didn't understand, but didn't ask any more questions and went into the house.

As soon as Jiang Ning entered the room, Linghu Chong looked at him seriously.

"Junior brother, do you want to learn Dugu Nine Swords?"

"what?"

Jiang Ning was stunned.

Linghu Chong thought Jiang Ning didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again.

"I said, do you want to learn Dugu Nine Swords?"

Jiang Ning looked at Linghu Chong suspiciously: "Why did Senior Brother suddenly want to teach me Dugu Nine Swords?"

Linghu Chong chuckled and said, "I think this sword technique is very powerful. If I am the only one who knows it, I am afraid it will be buried. So I went to find the senior who taught me the Dugu Nine Swords and asked if I could pass it on to other people. The senior agreed to let me pass it on, but I had to pass it on to someone with extraordinary talent. You were the first person I thought of."

Originally, after receiving the accurate information from Feng Qingyang, Linghu Chong wanted to find Jiang Ning to teach him the sword skills, but Jiang Ning seemed to be very busy during the New Year. He had to go down the mountain to rescue people and take Maodou to the deep mountains of Qinling Mountains. He was often nowhere to be found, so it had been delayed until now, and Linghu Chong simply stayed there.

"The senior who taught me swordsmanship said that I have a decent talent. So I thought, if even I can learn Dugu Nine Swords, then you, Junior Brother, have a higher talent than me and must be better than me."

Linghu Chong's words were not a compliment, he really felt that way.

Jiang Ning was much younger than him before he obtained the Xiantian Gong, but his martial arts skills were already comparable to his. Especially in the last two years, he left him far behind. Linghu Chong believed that it must be easy for Jiang Ning to learn the Dugu Nine Swords.

Hearing Linghu Chong say this, Jiang Ning looked a little strange.

After a while.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother, but it's not necessary."

Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.

"Brother, what I said is true."

Linghu Chong became anxious upon hearing this and said quickly, "I was planning to teach you this before. You don't know what kind of dangers you will encounter when you travel down the mountain. With the Dugu Nine Swords by your side, you will at least be safer."

"Big brother."

Jiang Ning still refused.

"It would be better to pass this sword technique on to other brothers and sisters who are more talented."

Jiang Ning didn't look down on the Dugu Nine Swords, but he was biting off more than he could chew. Everyone has limited energy, and for him, one innate skill is enough.

"Ok."

Seeing that Jiang Ning still had no intention of learning, Linghu Chong sighed with regret.

"Brother, if you ever change your mind, come find me and I will pass on the Dugu Nine Swords to you at any time."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother."

Linghu Chong shook his head and sighed and left.

Jiang Ning sat on the chair in a daze for a moment, then stood up. He did not practice martial arts or go out for fun. Instead, he picked up a copy of "Tai Shang Ganying Pian" from the desk and began to read it.

"Good fortune and misfortune come from nowhere, but are brought upon oneself..."

……

Today is the day when Jiang Ning goes down the mountain, and Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze see Jiang Ning off early in the morning.

Originally, Lin Pingzhi, Linghu Chong and other Huashan disciples were also going to come and see Jiang Ning off, but Yue Buqun said that it was not necessary, and that he and Ning Zhongze would be the only ones to do so, so that they could continue practicing and not waste time.

"Be careful and stay safe along the way."

Ning Zhongze warned, with a concerned look on his face.

"Master, don't worry."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

"Well, if you can come back earlier, then come back earlier."

Yue Buqun then said: "If you can't come back, we will meet at Songshan in June."

"it is good."

Jiang Ning nodded. This was something they had discussed before.

"Then let's go."

No matter how worried he was about Jiang Ning going down the mountain alone beforehand, when the moment really came, Yue Buqun calmed down.

"Master and Madam."

Jiang Ning smiled at the two and said, "Disciple will go down the mountain now."
