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

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Yue Buqun had changed a lot during this period of time. He became more patient with him and no longer scolded him at every turn. He also passed on the Zixia magic skill and all the Five Mountains sword techniques to him, which touched his heart deeply.

In order to repay Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong practiced sword skills very hard. Although Yue Buqun did not say it, his expression always had a faint smile.

Looking at the energetic Linghu Chong in front of him, Yue Buqun showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

There is no need to mention Linghu Chong's talent. He just didn't work hard before. Now he has changed his laziness and works very hard, making rapid progress.

Yue Buqun saw it all.

"you……"

Yue Buqun seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.

"what?"

Linghu Chong looked a little confused, not knowing what Yue Buqun wanted to say.

Yue Buqun thought of Jiang Ning's words, and Jiang Ning asked him to recognize Linghu Chong more.

But Yue Buqun has always been seen by his disciples as a majestic and strict father who never says any words of praise. Of course, he himself cannot say them, especially to Linghu Chong.

At this moment, Yue Buqun thought of what Jiang Ning had said.

'The eldest brother regards the master as his father, and he also wants to get the master's care and praise.'

Yue Buqun took a deep breath and slowly smiled at Linghu Chong: "Chong'er, you did very well."

"what?"

Linghu Chong looked a little bewildered.

Yue Buqun added: "You have indeed worked very hard during this period. Your efforts have been seen by your teacher, and I am very happy."

Linghu Chong was stunned.

"Master..."

Linghu Chong looked at Yue Buqun and muttered to himself with an expression of disbelief.

Since the words had been spoken, Yue Buqun was not embarrassed and continued, "The reason why I was too harsh on you before was because you are my eldest disciple. You are the first among many brothers and sisters to enter the sect. You are the eldest senior brother. Naturally, I have great expectations of you. I hope you can fulfill your responsibilities as the eldest senior brother and be upright in your heart and conduct."

With every word Yue Buqun spoke, Linghu Chong's eyes grew redder, until finally he couldn't hide his tears and fell.

When hearing Yue Buqun's last words, Linghu Chong finally couldn't help crying, his voice choked with sobs.

"It's all my fault. I don't understand the good intentions of my master and often bring trouble to my master and the sect. I'm wrong."

Tears as big as beans fell from Linghu Chong's face.

Yue Buqun couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Perhaps it was really true that the way he taught Linghu Chong before was wrong.

"Okay, men don't shed tears easily."

Yue Buqun patted Linghu Chong on the shoulder and spoke gently.

Linghu Chong nodded vigorously and wiped the tears from his face.

Seeing him like this, Yue Buqun also had an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

After a while.

Yue Buqun said disappointedly.

"Perhaps I was too strict with you in the past and didn't care enough about you, which led to you giving up on yourself. I am also responsible for this."

Linghu Chong stood there in a daze, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Seeing him like this, Yue Buqun said, "Go back and have dinner quickly," and turned around to leave, but after a while.

"Master!!!"

Linghu Chong's loud shout was heard behind him, and Yue Buqun couldn't help but look back, only to see Linghu Chong rushing towards him.

Just when Yue Buqun thought Linghu Chong was going to say something, Linghu Chong suddenly pounced in front of him, hugged his thighs and started crying.

"Master~~~~"

Linghu Chong burst into tears, holding onto Yue Buqun's thighs and refusing to let go, crying heartbreakingly.

how many years.

He had been an orphan since childhood and was brought to the mountains by Yue Buqun, who raised him there. He always regarded Yue Buqun as his father and wanted to gain Yue Buqun's recognition.

But in the past, Yue Buqun only scolded and expressed dissatisfaction with him, and never praised him, let alone recognized him like he did now. He originally thought that Yue Buqun's praise of him would be enough to move him, but what he didn't expect was that Yue Buqun would actually admit his shortcomings in front of him, which directly broke down Linghu Chong's defense.

Linghu Chong could no longer hold back, and he hugged Yue Buqun's thighs and burst into tears, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

"Woooooooooooo..."

Linghu Chong cried heartbreakingly and buried his head in Yue Buqun's robe, with snot and tears all over Yue Buqun's clothes.

Looking at the filth on his body, Yue Buqun's brows couldn't stop twitching and the corners of his eyes kept twitching.

Yue Buqun tried to move, but found that Linghu Chong was holding his legs tightly and would not let go.

Yue Buqun took a deep breath, resisted the urge to hit Linghu Chong, and said gently: "Okay, the ground is cold, get up quickly."

"Master~Master~"

Linghu Chong thought Yue Buqun cared about him and cried even harder.

Yue Buqun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, bent down and pulled Linghu Chong's arm to pull him up, but after using a little force, he found that he couldn't pull him up.

Seeing Linghu Chong burying his head in his robe and wiping it again and again, with snot, tears and other filth beginning to spread to other areas, veins bulged on Yue Buqun's forehead.

Resisting the urge to teach Linghu Chong a lesson, Yue Buqun pulled him up, frowned and said unhappily: "You are such a grown man and yet you are crying so miserably. People like us in the martial arts world have never known what tears are."

"You are the eldest brother of Huashan Sect. You should set a good example for the younger brothers and don't cry all the time."

"Don't let me see this kind of thing hanging on your face again."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong immediately wiped the tears from his face.

"Yes! Master!"

Seeing him like this, Yue Buqun didn't know what to say and just shook his head.

"Go clean your face before you go eat."

Yue Buqun asked Linghu Chong to go to the cafeteria first, while he went back to the house to change clothes.

When Yue Buqun arrived at the cafeteria, he found that his disciples were already eating. Yue Buqun usually ate in his own room, and only occasionally ate with his disciples, so he told the Huashan disciples not to wait for him.

Including those disciples who have been in the sect for more than a year, Huashan Sect now has more than forty disciples.

Linghu Chong sat in the main seat and chatted and boasted with his fellow junior brothers and sisters, and occasionally made some funny movements, making his fellow junior brothers and sisters laugh.

On the other side, Jiang Ning and Lin Pingzhi were sitting at the same table. While eating, Lin Pingzhi asked Jiang Ning questions about practicing martial arts with a serious look on his face, and Jiang Ning patiently answered him.

In addition to Lin Pingzhi, there were other Huashan disciples who also asked Jiang Ning questions about martial arts and swordsmanship. Jiang Ning would often give them answers before he even finished his meal.

On the other side, Jiang Ning's younger brothers were sitting upright at the table eating.

During this period of time, Yue Buqun entrusted the task of teaching his fellow apprentices to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning has been very busy recently.

But Jiang Ning took this matter very seriously. After his teaching, the thoughts of these junior brothers were gradually moving closer to Jiang Ning. After being in contact with Jiang Ning for a long time, they unknowingly began to learn from Jiang Ning, learn Jiang Ning's usual words and deeds, learn his ideas, and learn his attitude.

Looking at the lively yet harmonious scene in the cafeteria, Yue Buqun couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 96: The Dark Past Cannot Be Recovered

Chapter 96: The dark past cannot be pursued

December.

It's snowing heavily.

The entire Huashan Mountain is covered with snow.

Although the weather was cold, the atmosphere in Huashan Sect was joyous.

"Come closer, come closer, a little higher, um...just like that."

Back hall.

Yue Buqun nodded.

Liang Fa and Gao Genming were standing on a ladder, carefully hanging a plaque on the beam.

"Sword energy soars into the sky?"

Jiang Ning stood next to Yue Buqun, looking at the four words on the plaque and silently reading them out.

The plaque with the words "Controlling the Sword with Qi" that was previously hanging in the hall was replaced by Yue Buqun.

Hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Yue Buqun did not turn around, with a smile on his face: "Sword Qi soaring into the sky was the purpose of my Huashan Sect in the past. After the sword Qi battle, my Qi Sect won and changed the plaque here to 'Control the Sword with Qi'. Now that I think about it, whether it is my Qi Sect or my Sword Sect, we were wrong."

What he meant was not that the Qi Sect’s philosophy was wrong, but that the dispute over sword and Qi back then was wrong.

If there had not been that sword-fighting battle, the Huashan Sect would surely be more glorious today.

The sword energy battle twenty-five years ago caused heavy losses to the Huashan Sect, and the consequences lasted for decades. Whenever Yue Buqun thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Master, now you no longer think that the heavy sword is an unorthodox method?"

Jiang Ning looked at Yue Buqun.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun lowered his eyes and remained silent. After a moment, he smiled.

"In fact, whether it is focusing on Qi or sword, it all depends on one's personal ideas. In the end, they all lead to the same goal. Back when my Huashan Sect didn't yet have the distinction between sword and Qi, the disciples who wanted to practice sword practiced sword, and those who wanted to practice Qi practiced Qi. It was so harmonious back then, and everyone was united in fighting against the Demon Sect."

Perhaps it is because he is getting old, or perhaps he has a new perspective after experiencing a new stage. Although Yue Buqun looks like a middle-aged man now, his actual age is almost sixty. He feels heartbroken every time he thinks of the past.

Jiang Ning comforted him, "The past is dark and cannot be retrieved, but the future is bright and glorious. Since it happened, Master could not have controlled it, so Master, you don't have to feel too sorry."

"Realize that the past cannot be changed, know that the future can be pursued, in fact, the wrong path is not far away, realize that today is right and yesterday is wrong."

Yue Buqun's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he recalled the meaning of these words in his mind.

After a while.

"hehe."
