Zongwu: After reading my diary, my master's wife collapsed

"Sister, where are we going?" Yi Lin looked at Dongfang Bubai in confusion, with even a hint of panic in her eyes.

Because Dongfang Bubai had already processed Yi Lin's resignation procedures, no, it was the procedures for her to return to secular life.

At this time, Yi Lin was no longer the little nun of Hengshan Sect.

Even though Yilin had lived in Baiyun Temple in Hengshan since she was a child, her biological sister came to find her and asked her to return to secular life and take her home. Master Dingyi couldn't stop this, even though she liked Yilin very much.

But it was precisely because she loved Yilin and treated her almost as her own daughter that Master Dingyi would not let Yilin become a nun and live out her life in loneliness.

Although Master Dingyi is a nun herself, she does not think that being a nun is a good thing.

These nuns in Baiyun Temple in Hengshan were almost all admitted into the Hengshan Sect because they had no other options.

For example, if a girl is an orphan like Yi Lin, she cannot survive without becoming a nun; or if her family is poor and they do not want their daughter to become a nun, they can only sell her.

Most of the nuns in the Hengshan Sect joined the sect as nuns under such circumstances.

Now that Yilin has a family, she is no longer penniless, so Master Dingyi naturally allows Yilin to return to secular life.

Of course, there is another point. Through this period of time together, Master Dingyi can be sure that Dongfang Bubai really likes Yilin and has no ill will towards her. Under this premise, Master Dingyi allowed Yilin to return to secular life.

Yilin, who grew up eating vegetarian food and practiced martial arts every day except chanting Buddhist scriptures, obviously had no desire to return to secular life. Or she was very confused about the matter and even a little flustered.

If Dongfang Bubai had not had a strong personality and had not made the decision directly to Yilin, Yilin would probably still be thinking about becoming a nun in Baiyun Temple on Hengshan Mountain.

However, even though she had returned to secular life, Yilin still had many monk robes and Buddhist scriptures in her bag, and she even had Buddhist beads on her hands, making her almost no different from a nun.

"Let's go to Huayin County!" Dongfang Bubai answered Yi Lin's question in a particularly gentle and soft voice, as if he was afraid that he would scare Yi Lin if he was a little harsh.

"Huayin County? Is our home in Huayin County?" Yi Lin asked with a blink.

Yi Lin could no longer remember where her childhood home was, so when Dongfang Bubai mentioned Huayin County, Yi Lin still thought that their childhood home was in Huayin County.

"Our home? Yes. Wherever we two sisters are, that is our home." Dongfang Bubai subconsciously touched Yi Lin's little bald head, but after raising his hand, he saw that there was a hat on Yi Lin's little bald head, so he patted her hat.

In fact, this hat was given to Yi Lin by Dongfang Bubai. After all, Yi Lin is no longer a monk, so she naturally doesn't need to keep her head bald. So Dongfang Bubai gave Yi Lin a hat to cover it up.

The two girls who followed behind Dongfang Bubai and Yi Lin and looked like two little maids couldn't help but curl their lips.

These two girls, one is Qu Feiyan and the other is Huang Rong.

Huang Rong had previously disguised herself as a little beggar, wanting to follow Ye Xiu and his Huashan team to Huayin County, and even thought about interacting with Ye Xiu on the way and building friendships. However, she didn't expect to be blocked by Dongfang Bubai due to insufficient information, and now she had become Dongfang Bubai's captive.

After all, who let Huang Rong have a diary? With the diary, as long as she is lucky, she can definitely become a top master. At the same time, she can also get a lot of information about the martial arts world and secret intelligence. Of course, Dongfang Bubai wants to recruit such a person as his subordinate.

In fact, Dongfang Bubai once wanted to do an experiment, which was to let the owners of the diary fight each other.

To be precise, Dongfang Bubai wanted Huang Rong to kill Ren Yingying, and then observe whether there would be any punishment or whether he could get any benefits.

However, Huang Rong was indeed a very smart person. She quickly found many excuses to prevent Dongfang Bubai from instructing her to kill Ren Yingying.

It's not that Huang Rong is kindhearted and doesn't want to kill people. As the daughter of the East Evil, Huang Rong's character is actually both good and evil. Huang Rong is actually capable of killing people. If she really kills someone, her methods and cruelty are not inferior to Ren Yingying at all.

But what Dongfang Bubai can think of, Huang Rong can naturally think of as well.

What if the diary owners killed each other and something bad happened? What if she killed them and was punished?

So Huang Rong used the reason of joining Dongfang Bubai, and then gave Dongfang Bubai some advice, asking others to try to kill Ren Yingying and see if there would be any reaction, etc.

Therefore, Ren Yingying was supposed to be sent to Heimu Cliff for solitary confinement, but she was brought here this time.

According to Huang Rong, she wanted Ren Yingying to die at the hands of Yue Lingshan.

Based on the contents of Ye Xiu's diary, Huang Rong deduced that Yue Lingshan was also one of the diary's owners. Rather than letting her own people be the guinea pigs for the experiment, it would be better to let Yue Lingshan do it.

After all, Yue Lingshan is Ye Xiu's junior sister, and in terms of relationship, she is closer to Ye Xiu.

When Ye Xiu wrote his diary, he definitely wrote about Yue Lingshan more times than outsiders like them, so they could use Yue Lingshan to kill Ren Yingying and then see how Yue Lingshan would react.

Even this time, they might be able to get rid of Yue Lingshan, because according to the contents of the diary, in addition to Yue Lingshan, Yue Lingshan's mother, Ning Zhongze, might also be one of the holders of the diary.

Yue Lingshan was not in Huashan when she got the diary, so Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan did not know that the other had the diary.

But now, if Yue Lingshan returns to Huashan, then Yue Lingshan and Ning Zhongze will most likely discover that the other is the holder of the diary, which will cause some trouble.

This was the reason why Huang Rong persuaded Dongfang Bubai in the beginning.

However, this plan was later improved.

For example, the original plan was for Yue Lingshan to kill Ren Yingying, but now, they are planning to let Ren Yingying kill Yue Lingshan.

If Yue Lingshan died, there would be no punishment for the diary owners to kill each other, so what if the diary owner was hated by the person who wrote the diary?

Given the relationship between Yue Lingshan and Ye Xiu, if Ren Yingying kills Yue Lingshan, Ye Xiu will definitely hate her. So will the hated Ren Yingying be punished?

This is also one of the pieces of information that Huang Rong and the others want to verify.

Chapter 55 Yue Buqun's Favor

"Master, you're looking for me." Ye Xiu came to Yue Buqun's room.

"Well, it has been almost a month since your master's wife passed the Hunyuan Gong to you. How is it? How is your practice going? Is there anything you don't understand? Tell me and I will help you explain it." Yue Buqun asked calmly.

After Yue Buqun discovered that Ye Xiu's martial arts skills were almost as good as Linghu Chong's, he naturally paid more attention to Ye Xiu, and at the same time he also wanted to improve the relationship between him and Ye Xiu.

As mentioned before, apart from teaching Linghu Chong martial arts personally by Yue Buqun, most of the martial arts for the remaining disciples were taught by Ning Zhongze or Linghu Chong.

So how should we put it, the relationship between Yue Buqun and these disciples is not as close as that between him and Linghu Chong.

Now Ye Xiu is many years younger than Linghu Chong, but his martial arts skills are almost as good as Linghu Chong. Therefore, such an excellent disciple is also very important to Huashan Sect, and Yue Buqun naturally wants to make the relationship between the two closer.

"My disciple has almost mastered the Hunyuan Gong, but there are indeed some things that I don't understand." Ye Xiu naturally couldn't say that he had already practiced the Hunyuan Gong to perfection. After all, the Hunyuan Gong was a very difficult martial art to practice, and in terms of difficulty, it was almost as difficult as the Huashan Sect's highest martial art, the Zixia Divine Art.

In just one month, he mastered such a difficult martial art to perfection. If you tell others about it, it would probably scare Yue Buqun.

However, even though Ye Xiu said that he had just started learning Hun Yuan Gong, Yue Buqun was still surprised.

Because it is difficult for ordinary people to succeed in learning Hunyuan Gong without three to five years.

He mastered Hun Yuan Gong in just one month. He can be said to be a genius with extraordinary talent.

Yue Buqun reached out and grabbed Ye Xiu's wrist, and the pure true qi condensed by the Zixia magic skill directly entered Ye Xiu's body. The Hunyuan internal force in Ye Xiu's body collided with Yue Buqun's true qi.

Ye Xiu only felt that Yue Buqun's true qi was extremely powerful and pure. Even though the internal force in his body had been completely transformed into Hunyuan internal force, he still felt vulnerable when facing Yue Buqun's true qi.

Ye Xiu was a little surprised, but felt it was natural.

The difference between acquired and innate, the difference between internal strength and true qi, these two can be said to be completely different. If Ye Xiu's internal strength can resist Yue Buqun's true qi, then he would think it is abnormal.

After Yue Buqun noticed the powerful Hunyuan internal force in Ye Xiu's body, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a smile bloomed on his face.

“Good, good. The internal force in your body has been completely transformed into Hunyuan internal force. As expected, you have already mastered the Hunyuan Gong.” Yue Buqun himself did not realize that there was a hint of surprise and relief in his voice.

For Yue Buqun, the more outstanding the Huashan Sect's disciples are, the better.

Of course, the premise is that the disciples of Huashan Sect are of the same mind as him. If they are not of the same mind as him, Yue Buqun will be wary.

"What don't you understand about Hunyuan Gong?"

"Master, I am right..."

Ye Xiu asked about some key points and tricks in practicing Hunyuan Gong. Asking these questions happened to be about the difficulty of practicing Hunyuan Gong after getting started.

Ye Xiu asked casually, but Yue Buqun's answer was serious and detailed, explaining Ye Xiu's question from several angles.

Ye Xiu listened to Yue Buqun's explanation, but he felt a little strange. He listened carefully to Yue Buqun's explanation, and the difficulty of his explanation was not high. It could be said that it was easy to understand.

Isn't Yue Buqun supposed to be bad at teaching his disciples? After all, almost none of Huashan Sect's disciples are reliable, whether in terms of character or martial arts.

But think about it again, in order to maintain the reputation of the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun ran down the mountain almost every other day, either to eliminate bandits there, kill robbers there, or help people resolve conflicts. Under such circumstances, Yue Buqun earned the name of Gentleman Sword, which allowed the Huashan Sect's reputation outside to barely maintain.

It can be said that Yue Buqun simply did not have much time to stop and teach his disciples martial arts. He did not have the time, nor did he have the experience.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu suddenly realized why he thought Yue Buqun was incapable of training disciples. It was because he simply did not have the energy or time to do so.

And now, Yue Buqun took out time to explain Hunyuan Gong to Ye Xiu one-on-one. It was only at this time that Ye Xiu realized Yue Buqun's teaching ability.

While Ye Xiu seemed to be listening carefully to Yue Buqun's answers to his questions, he secretly felt regretful in his heart.

The Huashan Sect was so huge, but only Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were supporting it, so Yue Buqun had no energy to train disciples. Otherwise, the disciples of Huashan Sect would not be in such a bad state. If Yue Buqun could spend more time and energy to practice, his martial arts would definitely be able to reach a higher level, and he would not have to think about the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

"Okay, that's all for today. Think carefully about what I said when you go back." Yue Buqun felt that what he had explained was enough for Ye Xiu to understand for the time being, so he stopped to prevent Ye Xiu from thinking too much and thus failing to gain more.

"Yes, master."

“In the next period of time, you can come to me at this time every day, and I will explain to you issues related to internal strength and swordsmanship.” Yue Buqun’s tone was not harsh but rather gentle.

"Thank you, Master." Ye Xiu acted surprised.

"Go and have a rest." Yue Buqun stroked his beard with a smile.

Yue Buqun’s impression of Ye Xiu was pretty good.

Because Ye Xiu had spent most of his time practicing martial arts, and he was quite hardworking in this regard, which was also something Yue Buqun appreciated.

Then Yue Buqun discovered that Ye Xiu's character was relatively stable.

Yue Buqun is also a person with a stable personality, so he also likes people with stable personalities.

Then Yue Buqun discovered that Ye Xiu had a good understanding. He could quickly accept most of what he told Ye Xiu, and there was no need for Yue Buqun to repeat himself. As a teacher, he naturally liked such students.

Therefore, the combination of these factors greatly increased Yue Buqun's favorability towards Ye Xiu.

Although at this moment, in Yue Buqun's heart, Ye Xiu was still not as good as Linghu Chong, who was raised by him since childhood, but he was still better than Liang Fa and Lu Dayou. In Yue Buqun's heart, Ye Xiu's status was even second only to Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan.

Chapter 56

"My father-in-law's attitude towards me has suddenly changed. It has become much better. It feels a little abnormal."

"It should be that when I was fighting with Lu Dayou before, I was discovered by Lao Yue. He found that I, who was originally ordinary, suddenly became so powerful, so his attitude towards me began to change."

"After all, my current strength, overall, has surpassed Linghu Chong. If I work hard for another day or two, my internal strength will directly break through to the Xiantian level."

"This kind of strength and this kind of attitude are of course very outstanding in the completely declining Huashan. Seeing such an outstanding disciple, it seems normal for Lao Yue to want to win me over."

"After all, it can't be that my father-in-law found out that his daughter has been very close to me recently and suddenly wants me to be his son-in-law. Hahaha——"

"Although Lao Yue's attitude towards me has suddenly become better, it is still a bit annoying to have him pull me to teach me and explain Hun Yuan Gong to me."

"I have clearly mastered Hun Yuan Gong through my own efforts and have already cultivated it to perfection, but I still have to pretend to be a beginner to fool Old Yue. It's very tiring!"

"But when I came out of Lao Yue's room and was seen by Linghu Chong, his expression turned very ugly. No, it should be said that he became even uglier."

"On the one hand, Junior Sister seemed to have been deliberately keeping a distance from him, as if telling him clearly that Yue Lingshan didn't like him. This was a big blow to Linghu Chong. And then, at this time, Old Yue also started to work hard on me, explaining Hunyuan Gong and other martial arts to me. This all showed that Old Yue began to take a fancy to me. Under such circumstances, it would be strange for Linghu Chong to be in a good mood."

"Alas, originally I just wanted to be a handsome man quietly. But I didn't expect that Junior Sister would suddenly pester me, and then there was Old Yue and Linghu Chong - this matter, you can't blame me. I was also passive."

“It’s a bit Versailles.”

"Junior Sister is a really good person. Although she is a little bit spoiled due to her upbringing, her character and personality are flawless."

"It's just that she suddenly approached me now, but didn't pay much attention to Lin Pingzhi, so the plot has changed again."

"After all, according to the original plot, the little sister should have sympathized with Lin Pingzhi at this time, and then began to take care of Lin Pingzhi. And in order to obtain higher martial arts and to get the help of Lao Yue, Lin Pingzhi also began to please the little sister, and then the little sister gradually began to like Lin Pingzhi."

"But now, Junior Sister has become indifferent to Lin Pingzhi. Instead, she keeps looking for me for no reason. This situation feels a little wrong. Did I follow Lin Pingzhi's script?"

"We are almost at Huashan now, and Linghu Chong's first cheat in life is almost here. After returning to the mountain, Linghu Chong should be arranged to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion on the Cliff of Repentance, and then Tian Boguang will make a feint to the east and attack in the west to divert Old Yue and Master's wife, and carry two jars of wine to find Linghu Chong - but now, I have found the Five Mountains Sword Techniques on the Cliff of Repentance, and even scraped off the sword techniques on it according to Master's wife's request. Linghu Chong will not have the chance to see the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and Tian Boguang is dead, and will not come to Linghu Chong again. Will Feng Qingyang jump out to teach Linghu Chong the Dugu Nine Swords?"

"This Zongwu has changed too many plots. Although there is still a little outline, many things in it have changed. In all likelihood, it will not follow the original plot."

"So, does Linghu Chong still have a chance to obtain Dugu Nine Swords?"

“But then again, if Linghu Chong hadn’t obtained Dugu Nine Swords, his tragic life might not have happened. That’s not right. If Linghu Chong hadn’t obtained Dugu Nine Swords, this peerless sword technique, he wouldn’t have been able to blind the eyes of 15 masters with one sword in the Medicine King Temple. At that time, Old Yue, his mistress, and even many Huashan Sect disciples would have been doomed.”

"It's better for him to get Dugu Nine Swords, even if he will be suspected and doubted after getting it. But since he can save everyone in Huashan Sect, Linghu Chong should be happy to accept it."

"Let's go back to Huashan. I have been in this world for three years and have been staying in Huashan for three years. I have also regarded Huashan as my home. Let's find a way to change the plot. Maybe the people from Songshan Sect were killed as soon as they arrived in Huashan. After all, this is a world of comprehensive martial arts."

Putting down his pen, Ye Xiu did not bother to check if there were any typos in his writing. After all, this was his personal diary, and he did not care whether he had thought about making it public or not, or whether the words were well written or not. He did not even have any idea whether the sentences were fluent or not. Anyway, writing about a thousand words would be enough.

"Old Yue, Old Yue——" Ye Xiu couldn't help but suck his teeth.

Ye Xiu really didn't know how to treat Yue Buqun.

As for the relationship between him and Yue Buqun? It's not that deep, because in the three years since Ye Xiu came to the mountain, for almost two and a half years, Yue Buqun has been running back and forth outside the mountain, in order to maintain his title of Gentleman Sword and to let others know that Huashan has not been destroyed.

The ones who taught Ye Xiu martial arts were mostly Ning Zhongze and Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong taught him martial arts only out of his responsibility as a Huashan Sect disciple. He ran away after teaching him sword skills and had no intention of guiding Ye Xiu in his training. Instead, the one who paid more attention to Ye Xiu was Ning Zhongze, the master's wife.
