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

"Mom." Yue Lingshan lowered her head and fiddled with two fingers. She was so shy that she looked like she didn't want to talk at all.

"Shan'er, I originally thought that I was the only one who had the diary, but I didn't expect that you, Shan'er, also had it - so, is there a third person who has this diary? Or even a fourth person or more?" Ning Zhongze couldn't help but say to Yue Lingshan.

"Ah?" Yue Lingshan raised her head in confusion, her eyes full of bewilderment. She was still immersed in shyness and was a little slow to react.

"I mean, is there anyone else who has the diary?" Ning Zhongze's expression was serious.

Looking at Ning Zhongze's solemn expression, Yue Lingshan finally regained her sanity. Thinking of what Ning Zhongze said, Yue Lingshan looked stunned: "No, no, it's impossible, right?"

"It's possible, and the possibility is very high." Ning Zhongze said cautiously.

"this--"

"In fact, we can find some clues in Xiu'er's diary." Ning Zhongze said seriously: "For example, Tian Boguang was killed by Dongfang Bubai outside Hengyang City, and Liu Zhengfeng's hand-washing meeting went smoothly, and then the people of Songshan School died in Hengyang City. These changes are different from what Xiu'er originally expected. Xiu'er said that this is because of Zongwu, although I don't quite understand what Zongwu said. However, I think that maybe the original plot developed according to what Xiu'er said, but someone saw the diary written by Xiu'er, so the other party solved some problems and crises in advance, so that Xiu'er would feel that 'the plot is wrong'."

“Mom, you said that Dongfang Bubai also has a diary?” Yue Lingshan’s heart trembled.

"It is very likely. After all, according to Xiu'er, Dongfang Bubai should not appear in Hengyang City, and should not recognize Yi Lin. Therefore, Dongfang Bubai should have a diary. However, if Dongfang Bubai has a diary." Ning Zhongze's expression became very solemn.

Dongfang Bubai's martial arts skills are extremely high. Over the years, Dongfang Bubai's popularity has even surpassed Shaolin and Wudang.

Dongfang Bubai is the owner of the diary. If the other party knew that Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan possessed the diary, would it be disadvantageous to them?

Recalling the parts of Ye Xiu's diary that were not right, it seemed that they were all related to Dongfang Bubai. This made Ning Zhongze think that Ye Xiu's diary was most likely in Dongfang Bubai's possession.

Ning Zhongze's heart was suddenly in turmoil at this moment.

Originally, the Huashan Sect had faced enough crises, but because of Ye Xiu, Ning Zhongze felt that although the Huashan Sect was under pressure, it also had hope.

But now, their Huashan Sect might be targeted by a stronger and more terrifying enemy, Dongfang Bubai. Does the Huashan Sect still have hope?

“Mother, maybe, maybe you are overthinking it.” Yue Lingshan saw that Ning Zhongze looked upset, and comforted him: “After all, Dongfang Bubai has not appeared in Senior Brother Ye’s sight except in Hengyang City. In the diary, Senior Brother Ye has never mentioned Dongfang Bubai except occasionally. If Dongfang Bubai really has the diary, she should have appeared in front of Senior Brother Ye, so that she can get more rewards after being mentioned.”

"What you said is true..." Ning Zhongze comforted himself.

After all, apart from the changed plots, Dongfang Bubai seemed to have never appeared again after Ye Xiu left Hengyang City. Even on his way back to Huashan, no one else disturbed Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu often mentioned Linghu Chong - does Linghu Chong have a diary?

Ning Zhongze suddenly had this question.

After all, during this period of time, Ye Xiu had mentioned Linghu Chong's name in his diary just as many times as Yue Lingshan.

"Shan'er, is it possible that Chong'er is also the owner of the diary?" Ning Zhongze asked Yue Lingshan.

"Ah?" Yue Lingshan was dumbfounded, and then stared at Ning Zhongze blankly. She had never thought about this question before.

Chapter 71 Guilty Conscience

"Mom, why do you think Senior Brother has a diary?" Yue Lingshan couldn't help but ask back curiously.

"I thought your senior brother's name was mentioned the most times in the diary." Ning Zhongze explained.

"..." After being reminded by Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan was shocked to find that it seemed to be true. Ye Xiu mentioned Linghu Chong more times than she did. Then Yue Lingshan shook her head.

“Mom, Senior Brother shouldn’t have a diary. When Senior Brother Ye mentioned him in his diary, most of the time he was complaining about him. Senior Brother didn’t deliberately show any of it. The most important thing is that Senior Brother’s performance did not exceed Senior Brother Ye’s expectations at all.” Yue Lingshan retorted.

"It seems like what you said is right." Ning Zhongze nodded.

After all, maybe there are too many complaints about Linghu Chong in the diary. But Linghu Chong never showed any abnormality. If Linghu Chong is a super actor, it would be fine, but obviously, Linghu Chong is not. So Linghu Chong was excluded.

"Mom, what about my dad? He has also been mentioned many times by Senior Brother Ye." Yue Lingshan thought of Yue Buqun from Linghu Chong.

"Neither does your father." Ning Zhongze shook her head. She had tried to tell Yue Buqun the contents of the diary but was unable to do so. This was completely different from Yue Lingshan, who had the diary and could talk to him.

"Well, I think it would be better for Dad not to have it. After all, it was written by Senior Brother Ye, and my dad would definitely be very embarrassed when he sees it." Yue Lingshan nodded and said.

"Indeed, it's your father." Ning Zhongze thought of Ye Xiu's description of Yue Buqun in his diary and couldn't help but sigh.

However, Ning Zhongze recalled that she had a heart-to-heart talk with Yue Buqun before, and she found that due to Ye Xiu's existence, Yue Buqun had not thought of castrating himself to practice sword, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, will my dad...?" Yue Lingshan asked a little worriedly. After reading the diary written by Ye Xiu, Yue Lingshan has been worried about Yue Buqun, but she doesn't know how to change her father. It can be said that Yue Buqun is like a stone, always weighing on Yue Lingshan's heart.

"Don't worry, I've already talked to your father, and he won't do the things written in the diary. After all, the Huashan Sect now has your Senior Brother Ye, an eighteen-year-old innate master. He gives your father hope, so naturally he won't be so desperate as to practice the Exorcism Sword Technique." Ning Zhongze explained with a smile.

"Is that so? Then I really have to thank Senior Brother Ye." Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

“Yes, we should thank Xiu’er very much. If it weren’t for him, the Huashan Sect would have been in the future... Well, everything is in the past, no need to talk about this anymore. You just said, how much does Xiu’er like you?” Ning Zhongze began to pay attention to Ye Xiu’s favorability towards Yue Lingshan.

"Only 67 points." Yue Lingshan pouted, a little dissatisfied.

After hearing what Yue Lingshan said about the favorability, Ning Zhongze's eyes flashed with surprise, and his cheeks became slightly hot.

"But don't worry, mother. Senior Brother Ye's favorability towards me is increasing quite quickly. I think it won't be long before Senior Brother Ye's favorability towards me will increase to over 70, or even 80, 90 or even 100." Yue Lingshan said with full confidence.

"As long as you have confidence." Ning Zhongze said quickly.

"By the way, mother, how much does Senior Brother Ye like you?" Yue Lingshan asked back.

“Um, this, is just, just over fifty.” Ning Zhongze directly lowered Ye Xiu’s favorability towards her, lowering it to below Yue Lingshan. She was worried that Yue Lingshan would have misunderstandings after knowing Ye Xiu’s true favorability towards her.

“Huh? Only in his fifties? Senior Brother Ye clearly wrote in his diary that you are his—ahem.” Yue Lingshan got stuck halfway through her sentence.

"Fifty is already a lot." Ning Zhongze said quickly.

"I still think it's a bit low. Why is Senior Brother Ye's favorability towards us so low? I originally thought that Senior Brother Ye's favorability towards us should be at least 70. After all, I still have mother, and you treat him - it's not bad, right?" Yue Lingshan thought that before getting the diary, she actually spent most of her time following Linghu Chong around, while Ye Xiu spent most of his time practicing martial arts and swordsmanship, so it seems normal that Ye Xiu's favorability towards her is a little low.

Seeing Yue Lingshan's guilty look, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but laugh. She knew that Ye Xiu was not very sociable and he didn't have that much contact with Yue Lingshan, so it was normal for his favorability to be low.

However, as long as Yue Lingshan and Ye Xiu spend more time together, their favorability will naturally increase.

Just when Ning Zhongze was thinking this, Yue Lingshan added, "It's OK that Senior Brother Ye has a low favorability towards me, but why does Senior Brother Ye have such a low favorability towards you, mother? You are obviously very good to Senior Brother Ye, often cooking for him, sometimes giving him extra meals, and sometimes Senior Brother Ye forgets the time while practicing, and it is you who goes to find him. You are so good to him, but his favorability towards you is not even over 60. It feels a bit too much."

Yue Lingshan stood up for Ning Zhongze.

However, Ning Zhongze felt even more embarrassed after hearing Yue Lingshan's words.

But, it's hard to tell the truth. Ning Zhongze couldn't say that Ye Xiu liked her a little more than Yue Lingshan, right?

It would be fine if Ye Xiu didn't write in his diary that he liked Ning Zhongze, but Ye Xiu wrote it, and he wrote it more than once!

This made Ning Zhongze dare not tell the truth. If he really told the truth, Yue Lingshan might have some misunderstanding.

At the same time, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but complain in his heart, complaining about Ye Xiu. He and Yue Lingshan were obviously the same age. If he liked girls, shouldn't he like girls of the same age? Why didn't he like girls of the same age, but liked her mother who was the same age as him?

Of course, Ning Zhongze was also a little proud that she was still so popular even at such an old age.

Of course, Ning Zhongze couldn't tell anyone about these psychological activities in his mind.

"Maybe, it could be that Xiu'er is slow to warm up? He tends to be slow to warm up, and cold. He's not the type of person who can easily fall in love with someone. Maybe it has something to do with his previous experiences." Ning Zhongze fooled Yue Lingshan.

"Previous experience? Mother, do you know Senior Brother Ye's previous experience?" Yue Lingshan asked curiously.

"Well, your Senior Brother Ye said that he has been an orphan since childhood. As an orphan, I guess his food, clothing, housing and transportation are not very good. Moreover, he has no adult protection. He must have experienced a lot of hardships, so he has a cold personality." Ning Zhongze brought out the reason Ye Xiu gave when he wanted to become his disciple.

Ning Zhongze forgot that what Ye Xiu wrote in his diary was not like this.

Chapter 72 Purple Cloud Power

"Sister, is this our home?" Yi Lin opened her big eyes and looked at the house in front of her curiously.

"Well, this is our home." Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly.

Dongfang Bubai sent someone to purchase a house directly in Huayin County as her temporary residence. Of course, to some extent, it was also her home.

Next, Dongfang Bubai will temporarily live here with Yi Lin, Qu Feiyan and Huang Rong.

After all, this place is the closest to Mount Huashan. Only by being closer to Mount Huashan can she have the opportunity to get in touch with Ye Xiu, make Ye Xiu mention her more often in his diary, and increase Ye Xiu's favorability towards her.

However, how to contact Ye Xiu is a difficult point for Dongfang Bubai.

After all, Dongfang Bubai himself doesn't really understand the ways of the world.

If Ye Xiu didn't know her identity, she could still hide her identity and contact Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiu had already guessed that she was Dongfang Bubai.

With the title of Dongfang Bubai, she didn't think it would be easy for her to get close to Ye Xiu without arousing his suspicion.

After all, being mentioned in Ye Xiu's diary was one reason, and the other was gaining Ye Xiu's favor.

It is precisely because of this favorability that Dongfang Bubai dares not act rashly.

As for asking for help——

Dongfang Bubai admitted that Huang Rong was very smart, extremely smart. If he allowed Huang Rong to give him advice, he might be able to come up with some good ideas.

But Dongfang Bubai did not trust Huang Rong that much.

After all, Dongfang Bubai had forced Huang Rong to stay by his side by force, and who knows whether Huang Rong would deliberately do something bad when she gave him advice. This was one of the reasons why Dongfang Bubai had not taken any action.

And Huang Rong does have her own ideas.

In fact, with Huang Rong's intelligence and wit, she could have thought of some ways to escape from Dongfang Bubai. After all, Dongfang Bubai only forcibly detained her by his side, but did not use more extreme means, nor did he feed Huang Rong with poison that could control people like the Three Corpses Brain Pill.

If Huang Rong wanted to escape, she only had to run away.

but--

If Huang Rong escapes from Dongfang Bubai, where will she go next?

Don't forget that Dongfang Bubai is almost staying by Ye Xiu's side. If Huang Rong gives up Ye Xiu, the diary, and the reward, she can indeed completely escape from Dongfang Bubai's control.

But could Huang Rong give up? It was impossible for Huang Rong to give up on a shortcut that did not require any practice at all, and could rapidly increase her cultivation level as long as Ye Xiu mentioned it a few more times.

In fact, generally speaking, the smarter a person is, the more likely he or she is to take shortcuts.

Just like Huang Rong, her martial arts were inherited from Huang Yaoshi. Is Huang Yaoshi's martial arts bad? Not bad. At least Huang Yaoshi's martial arts are not worse than the current Dongfang Bubai.

With Huang Rong's physique, her comprehension, and her talent, if she had practiced diligently, she would have already broken through to the innate level long ago.

Unfortunately, Huang Rong's mind was focused on other things. She had mastered a lot of skills, such as cooking, Qimen Dunjia, and various other miscellaneous skills, but she only practiced martial arts for three days and fished for two days.

However, when one is in the martial arts world, martial arts are extremely important. Especially after Huang Rong met Dongfang Bubai, many of her methods were almost ineffective.

No matter how Huang Rong jumped around, Dongfang Bubai suppressed her with one hand.

At this time, Huang Rong already understood the importance of martial arts, but her long-standing habit made it impossible for her to calm down and practice martial arts, so taking shortcuts was the path Huang Rong wanted to take the most. Therefore, it was impossible for Huang Rong to give up Ye Xiu.

But as long as Huang Rong does not give up Ye Xiu, she has to stay around Ye Xiu. If she stays around Ye Xiu, she will inevitably run into Dongfang Bubai.

So running away would have no effect at all. After thinking this way, and considering that Dongfang Bubai had restrained her by his side but had not really made things difficult for her, Huang Rong finally decided not to run away and just stay here.

Anyway, Dongfang Bubai will enter Ye Xiu's sight sooner or later. By then, Huang Rong doesn't believe that she can't deal with Ye Xiu with her cooking skills.

Huang Rong couldn't help but beam with joy at the thought that she could win Ye Xiu's favor through her cooking skills, and perhaps rely on that favorability to eventually surpass Dongfang Bubai in martial arts.

Ye Xiu didn't know about Dongfang Bubai and Huang Rong.

Now, he was looking at the man in front of him—Yue Buqun—with a look of surprise.

"Among the Nine Huashan Skills, Zixia is the best! Xiu'er, this is the most profound martial art in our sect - 'Zixia Skill'." Yue Buqun took out a martial arts secret book and placed it in front of Ye Xiu.

“Master, what are you doing—” Ye Xiu was a little stunned, even looking at the martial arts secret book in front of him with a little bit of disbelief.

That's not true. In fact, among the current generation of disciples of Huashan Sect, Ye Xiu is the most outstanding and excellent in terms of martial arts skills and steady personality. He is indeed very suitable to become the next leader of Huashan Sect.

Ye Xiu also felt that Yue Buqun would teach him the Purple Cloud Skill, but Ye Xiu did not expect that day to come so soon.

Ye Xiu thought that it would take some time before Yue Buqun would teach him the Purple Cloud Skill. But he didn't expect that he would be so eager to teach him this advanced martial arts just two days after returning to Huashan.

“Xiu'er, I think you also know the significance of Zixia Gong. Besides being the most powerful martial art among the Nine Huashan Kung Fu, it is also a martial art that only the sect leader can practice. Once you practice this martial art, the heavy responsibility of the Huashan Sect will be on your shoulders.” As Yue Buqun spoke, his expression couldn't help but become a little solemn, and even his breathing became a little heavier.

Yue Buqun was a little distracted, as if he was thinking of the scene when his master taught him Zixia Gong.

At that time, Yue Buqun was under tremendous pressure when he learned this martial art.

Whenever he thought of that scene, Yue Buqun felt as if the entire Huashan Mountain had materialized and fell on him, so that Yue Buqun seemed to be carrying a mountain at all times, unable to move forward, and even finding it difficult to breathe.

Slightly calming his mind and focusing his chaotic thoughts, Yue Buqun turned his attention back to Ye Xiu: "Xiu'er, can you bear the burden of the Huashan Sect? Can you shoulder the responsibility of the Huashan Sect?" Yue Buqun's voice even became serious and harsh.

Chapter 73 Interpretation

"Master, please rest assured. I will definitely shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Huashan Sect." Ye Xiu replied with a serious look.

After hearing Ye Xiu's answer, Yue Buqun's serious face showed a hint of relief.

More than twenty years have passed since Yue Buqun became the head of the Huashan Sect.
