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

Yue Buqun laughed and turned to look at Jiang Ning.

"The future is up to you."

He has completely believed that Jiang Ning is the hope for the future of Huashan Sect, he firmly believes it.

"Master, it's hung up."

At this time Gao Genming and Liang Fa finally hung up the plaque and said to Yue Buqun excitedly.

Yue Buqun nodded and said with a smile: "Well, you guys go outside, I will be here soon."

"Yes, Master."

Gao Genming and Liang Fa answered yes at the same time, and then they walked out of the back hall and came to the martial arts training ground.

At this time, in the martial arts training ground, table after table of food and wine filled the empty space. Apart from Ning Zhongze, there was an empty seat on the main table, which was Yue Buqun's seat.

The Huashan disciples sat at the other tables.

Today is a big day for Huashan Sect.

Not long ago, the Huashan Sect held an internal examination, and the results were very encouraging. Yue Buqun was so happy that he bought wine and meat from the foot of the mountain to hold an internal banquet to reward his disciples.

Linghu Chong sat at a table not far from the main table, his face full of joy.

Since that day, Yue Buqun started to care about him, take care of his emotions, and care about his thoughts. Linghu Chong also worked hard to meet Yue Buqun's expectations, and finally a month ago he mastered the Zixia magic skill. His strength has reached the level of a first-class master, but the weakest one.

In order to reward Linghu Chong, knowing that he loved wine, Yue Buqun specially bought a lot of wine for this banquet, which made Linghu Chong very happy.

In addition to Linghu Chong, the Huashan disciples have also undergone great changes.

At this time, they were wearing brand new clothes of their sect.

The sect uniforms that Lu Dayou and other Huashan disciples had worn before were too shabby and too old, so Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze made a special trip to Xi'an to have new sect uniforms made for the disciples. They spent a lot of money and used good materials, and the uniforms were very different from the original ones.

This was not the end. After ordering new sect uniforms, Yue Buqun bought other new clothes for his disciples. For the female disciples, Ning Zhongze bought some rouge and powder for them.

Now the Huashan disciples are in a brand new spirit and everyone is in high spirits.

These are also Jiang Ning’s opinions.

In July, the Huashan Sect wiped out a total of 18 bandit dens and received a considerable amount of reward money from the government. In the following period, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong personally led the team to wipe out the bandits and swept the entire Shaanxi Province.

As for the bandits and horse thieves they encountered along the way, it was okay if they met Linghu Chong, so they still had a chance to escape. But if they met the Huashan disciples led by Jiang Ning, they couldn't even run away and were directly killed.

They killed so many bandits and received a lot of rewards from the government. We cannot say that the bandit problem has been completely eliminated in Shaanxi now, but those large mountain strongholds have been wiped out, leaving only some smaller and deeply hidden small groups of bandits.

Ever since the Huashan Sect officially launched its crackdown on bandits, the level of environmental safety in the entire Shaanxi province has skyrocketed, and the people no longer have to worry about being robbed and losing their lives along the way.

Now many people in Shaanxi know that there is a famous and upright sect called Huashan Sect in Huashan that fights demons and defends the way of righteousness.

The government was also very happy about the Huashan Sect's long-lasting anti-bandit campaign. They believed that these bandits and horse robbers who robbed people on the way were their political achievements and steps for their advancement.

When they learned that the Huashan Sect was going to personally wipe out the banditry in Shaanxi, the prefects of the four prefectures in Hanzhong all showed concern for the Huashan Sect and cooperated very well. Whenever the Huashan Sect wiped out a bandit camp, the officials were generous with their rewards and were very happy.

After eliminating the banditry, Yue Buqun also obtained a large sum of money. He originally planned to renovate all the buildings of the Huashan Sect. After all, decades had passed and some places were already crumbling.

Now that he has money, Yue Buqun wants to rebuild the Huashan Sect in a big way and spruce it up.

But Jiang Ning dissuaded Yue Buqun from this idea and asked him to spend all the money on his disciples.

The Huashan Sect's reputation is not maintained by these inanimate objects, but by people, by Yue Buqun, by Jiang Ning, by Linghu Chong, and by all the Huashan disciples. They are the face of the Huashan Sect.

It's not that Jiang Ning thinks renovating the Huashan buildings is not important, but everything has to have a sequence. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing and food come before housing. Jiang Ning proposed the concept of people-oriented. He asked Yue Buqun to pay more attention to the disciples in the sect, pay attention to their food and clothing, discover their mental state, and progress in martial arts. Only when the Huashan disciples feel that the sect values ​​them, can they maintain a higher loyalty to the Huashan sect.

Money is a dead thing, buildings are also dead things, talent is the most valuable.

Yue Buqun trusted Jiang Ning very much and thought that Jiang Ning had a longer-term vision, so he gladly accepted the proposal.

"it is good!"

"Not bad!"

"Good work deserves reward!"

Waves of cheers rang out, and several Huashan disciples wanted to dance with swords. With Yue Buqun's permission, they started dancing in front of everyone, and the other disciples applauded and cheered.

Chapter 97: Young people spend money lavishly

"Yes, Not Bad."

Watching his disciples salute him after finishing their sword dance, Yue Buqun smiled and nodded to encourage them. After letting them sit back down, he said, "I am going to make an announcement."

Hearing the master's serious words, Lu Dayou and other disciples all sat up straight with focused expressions, including Linghu Chong.

Yue Buqun treated them well, so they respected and loved him even more.

Jiang Ning looked normal.

He already knew what Yue Buqun was going to announce next.

Yue Buqun looked at the Huashan disciples and said slowly: "Master will start recruiting more disciples after the spring."

After nearly five months of development, the strength of Lu Dayou and other second-generation Huashan disciples has been rising rapidly. The worst one is a third-rate master, namely Lin Pingzhi. Although the others are still at the level of third-rate masters in terms of realm and internal strength, with the addition of swordsmanship, their actual combat ability is already comparable to some second-rate masters. Their overall strength has increased by more than one level compared to before.

Now even if they were allowed to go down the mountain and roam the world alone, they would be able to protect themselves.

Based on this, Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun discussed and decided to recruit disciples from Xi'an, Hanzhong, Fengxiang and Pingliang after the spring to expand the strength and influence of their sect.

Now that the reputation of their Huashan Sect in Shaanxi has entered the eyes of the people, expanding enrollment is a natural thing.

However, this time, Huashan Sect only accepts children and does not accept people who bring their skills with them. People like Lao Denuo are an exception.

When recruiting disciples this time, Yue Buqun set a standard: only children with clean backgrounds would be accepted, and children from civilian families would be given priority.

Children mean that undercover incidents like the one that happened with Laudeno, where the undercover agent was sent by another sect, will not happen. Although the probability still exists, it is extremely low.

Those from ordinary families can represent their position, and their backgrounds make it easier for them to accept the Huashan Sect's philosophy of eliminating demons, defending the way of righteousness, and saving the world.

As for those orphans without parents, those with talent will be accepted into Huashan Sect, while those without talent or with poor talent will be taken in to Huaming Village and raised by the villagers, with the money coming from Huashan Sect.

Of course, it was still the money obtained from eliminating evil. Jiang Ning and other Huashan disciples found a lot of silver from those bandit camps.

After setting this standard, Yue Buqun planned to recruit thirty people at a time. Originally, Yue Buqun was planning to recruit a hundred or eighty people, but was persuaded by Jiang Ning in time. If he really recruited so many, not to mention whether there were enough talented people, the Huashan Sect could not afford it. Thirty was already the limit that could be tolerated.

"Then I will ask Ning'er and Chong'er to recruit disciples together. Ning'er will be responsible for Pingliang and Fengxiang, and Chong'er will be responsible for Xi'an and Hanzhong. You will each have 15 quotas. If there are suitable ones, it doesn't matter if you accept more. But if there are no ones who meet the requirements, remember to prefer to have fewer than the unqualified ones."

Hearing Yue Buqun's words, Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning stood up, bowed and said, "Yes."

Yue Buqun nodded slightly, motioned for the two to sit down, and then looked at his disciples.

"You have all worked very hard in the past year, and some of you have made rapid progress. I am very pleased with you as your teacher."

"In the new year, I hope you can continue to work hard, practice diligently, and carry forward our Huashan Sect. The future of Huashan Sect is in your hands."

The Huashan disciples were excited and shouted:

"Yes!"

Dozens of disciples shouted at the same time, and the sound echoed throughout the training ground.

Yue Buqun nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, under the encouragement and expectations of Huashan disciples, Yue Buqun also danced with a sword in the falling snow, his figure as ethereal as an immortal.

……

February.

More than half a year has passed since Jiang Ning killed Lao Denuo. During this period, Huashan has been very peaceful without any major accidents.

Zuo Lengchan must have known about Lao Denuo's death, but he has not taken any action until now. Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun are very vigilant about this and have not let their guard down.

Several things have happened in the outside world during this half year or so.

Liu Zhengfeng, formerly from the Hengshan Sect, made friends with the evil cultist Qu Yang and was hunted down by the Songshan Sect. All his disciples were killed by the Songshan Sect, and Liu Zhengfeng's whereabouts are still unknown.

For unknown reasons, the Demon Cult also issued a hunting order for Qu Yang and hunted him down everywhere. Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, the two brothers in distress, were hunted down by both the good and evil forces at the same time, and their whereabouts are now unknown.

In addition to these two things, the head of the Hengshan School, Mr. Mo Da, announced that he would accept Liu Zhengfeng's only remaining son, Liu Qin, as his last disciple, and Liu Qin would inherit his mantle.

These things are basically the major events in the martial arts world at the moment. Some other small things emerge in the martial arts world in an endless stream, but they are also common. Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning have been quite busy recently.

They are going to start preparing to recruit disciples.

……

February 15th.

Huashan Sect has guests visiting.

"Uncle Dingyi, all the sisters and fellow apprentices from the Hengshan Sect please come in and take a seat. Master and his wife will be here soon."

Lu Dayou and Liang Fa said to Ding Yi and a group of Hengshan disciples.

"Ah."

Master Dingyi nodded indifferently, walked to the main hall and sat down, with a group of Hengshan disciples standing behind her.

After a while.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze came in a hurry.

"Master Dingyi has come to the Huashan Sect. I hope you won't blame me for not welcoming you in person."

Before the person arrived, Yue Buqun's voice came from afar.

Yue Buqun was wearing the black clothes with gold edges that Jiang Ning bought for him in Xi'an last time, and Ning Zhongze was also wearing the clothes that Jiang Ning bought for her.

It’s embarrassing to say, but Yue Buqun and his wife used to live frugally for the Huashan Sect, so their clothes were mostly plain and they wore them for a long time. The two pieces of clothes Jiang Ning bought for them were actually the best they had ever worn.

Yue Buqun followed Jiang Ning's advice and invested all the money he got from the last bandit suppression into his disciples, without keeping any for himself.

When re-customizing the sect's uniforms, Jiang Ning also wanted to order clothes for Yue Buqun, but he refused. In his words, clothes are meant to be worn, they don't have to fit too well, as long as they fit well.

The same is true for Ning Zhongze.

Originally, these two pieces of clothing were too expensive, and Yue Buqun was reluctant to wear them on weekdays. Unless it was an important occasion, he would put them in the closet and wear everyday clothes on weekdays.

But today was different. Master Dingyi's sudden visit surprised him very much. In order to show courtesy, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze changed into this outfit to show solemnity.

"Brother Yue, Madam Yue, long time no see."

Seeing Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze coming, Master Dingyi smiled and stood up to greet them. The Hengshan disciples behind her did the same.
