As for A Zi's identity, she doesn't care at all. She doesn't desire family affection at all.
Chapter 92 Dongfang Bubai Arrives
"master--"
Linghu Chong greeted Yue Buqun, who nodded slightly in response.
Although Yue Buqun was usually like this, Linghu Chong now felt that Yue Buqun's attitude towards him seemed a little different.
Linghu Chong opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"Junior sister..." When Linghu Chong saw Yue Lingshan, his eyes lit up and he moved closer.
"Big Brother, is there anything I can help you with?" Yue Lingshan responded to Linghu Chong politely.
Linghu Chong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Yue Lingshan like this, because Yue Lingshan's politeness made Linghu Chong feel a sense of strangeness and distance. It was as if the intimacy between him and Yue Lingshan had been reset to zero.
Obviously, at the beginning, they were the kind of people who could talk about almost anything. Later, when they arrived in Hengyang City, although Yue Lingshan was not as casual with him as before, it was still okay. But now, Yue Lingshan gave him a distant feeling.
Linghu Chong felt a little choked up and was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.
"Junior sister, I--" Linghu Chong murmured.
"Big Brother, I'm going to practice. Goodbye." Yue Lingshan still spoke in that polite yet distant tone. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with the sword.
Linghu Chong subconsciously stretched out his hand and transformed into Erkang, but he could only watch Yue Lingshan leave.
Seeing Yue Lingshan's figure quickly disappear from his sight, Linghu Chong felt more and more uncomfortable.
Linghu Chong felt upset and wandered around Huashan in a daze, like a wandering soul.
"Master's Wife—" Linghu Chong saw Ning Zhongze again.
"Chong'er." After seeing Linghu Chong, Ning Zhongze's eyes flashed with a complicated look, and then he responded with a gentle expression.
"Um, Master's wife, I, I——"
"Chong'er, what's wrong with you? Your master didn't ask you to continue to face the wall at the cliff and reflect on your mistakes, but you still feel uncomfortable?"
"No, no, I'm just a little bored." Linghu Chong said, scratching his head.
"Boring - let's put it this way, Pingzhi has just started, and he hasn't mastered some basic martial arts very well. As the eldest brother, you should teach him martial arts and give him some guidance." Ning Zhongze directly issued a task to Linghu Chong.
"Okay, Madam Master, I'll go find Junior Brother Lin right away." Linghu Chong nodded quickly and accepted the task issued by Ning Zhongze.
However, Linghu Chong always felt that even though his master's wife Ning Zhongze seemed to be no different from before, his intuition made him feel that Ning Zhongze was also distancing herself from him.
Seeing Ning Zhongze's figure disappear from his sight, Linghu Chong's eyes became dim. He knew that his master's wife, and even his previous master and junior sister, were all disappointed in him.
After all, Ning Zhongze had already told him about the crisis of Huashan Sect yesterday. The sect might even be destroyed at any time and urgently needed to improve its strength. However, he did not reveal the Dugu Nine Swords to others. After all, in his opinion, since he had promised Feng Qingyang to keep it a secret, the Dugu Nine Swords could not be told to outsiders.
Since he made such a choice, it was normal for his master, his mistress, and even his junior sister to distance themselves from him. Although he knew it was normal, he still felt uncomfortable.
"It would be better if I had never met Master Feng and never learned the Dugu Nine Swords." Linghu Chong smiled bitterly in his heart.
Taking a deep breath and dispelling the regret in his heart, Linghu Chong decided to go find Lin Pingzhi. After all, this was the task assigned to him by his master's wife, and he needed to complete it well so as not to let his master's wife down.
……
Ye Xiu was unaware of Linghu Chong's situation. He was currently hiding in his room, holding a pen and paper, and writing a martial arts manual.
Even though Ye Xiu had already learned the Blood Knife Sutra and the Wind God Leg, the contents of these two martial arts were directly transmitted into his mind from the diary. So if Ye Xiu wanted to create an adventure for Lao Yue, he had to write down the secret manual first.
To be honest, Ye Xiu's calligraphy is not that good, so writing secret manuals is quite difficult for him.
Fortunately, Ye Xiu is a martial artist and has better control over his body than most people, so when writing, he can also control the strength of his hands, so the words he writes are not ugly. Of course, they are just not ugly, that's all.
However, just as Ye Xiu was silently writing the Blood Knife Sutra, the window was suddenly opened silently, and a breeze blew. Ye Xiu subconsciously looked up and saw a woman in red appear in front of him.
This woman was not only very beautiful, but also had a very graceful figure. The most noticeable thing was that between her eyebrows, there was a touch of heroism and domineering that ordinary women did not have.
“Dongfang——” Ye Xiu almost said the four words Dongfang Invincible.
"Miss Dongfang? How come you are in Huashan?" Ye Xiu suppressed the shock in his heart and changed Dongfang Bubai to Miss Dongfang.
"Brother Ye, long time no see. This time I came to Huashan to ask for a favor." Dongfang Bubai looked at Ye Xiu with a faint smile on his face.
"I wonder what Miss Dongfang wants? If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." Ye Xiu answered very measuredly. If he could do it, he would not refuse, but if he couldn't do it, then there was nothing he could do.
At the same time, Ye Xiu was also a little wary of Dongfang Bubai.
Although Ye Xiu had a certain understanding of Dongfang Bubai, his understanding of Dongfang Bubai was based on the movies and TV shows he had watched in his previous life. Ye Xiu had no idea what Dongfang Bubai was like in reality, so he had no idea.
"Brother Ye, have you ever heard this saying: 'The Zixia Secret Book is the basics. The Sunflower Manual is the pinnacle!'" Dongfang Bubai's expression turned serious.
Hearing this, Ye Xiu's heart skipped a beat.
"This - I don't know where Miss Dongfang heard this from. How could the Zixia Secret Manual and the Sunflower Manual be related? Moreover, the Zixia Kung Fu is the sect's signature martial art of our Huashan Sect. Only the sect leader's lineage can practice it. Miss Dongfang, you came to me? I'm afraid you found the wrong person." Ye Xiu said with embarrassment.
"Brother Ye, why are you making excuses? Since I was able to find you, Brother Ye, I naturally know that you have been recognized by Yue Buqun as the next leader of the Huashan Sect. Yue Buqun has already taught you the Zixia Gong." Dongfang Bubai said with a smile.
“This—” Ye Xiu looked embarrassed.
In fact, Ye Xiu didn’t care that much about Zixia Gong. After all, he already had the Fengshen Leg martial art. However, Zixia Gong was the first of the Nine Huashan Gongs of the Huashan Sect and was of great significance to the Huashan Sect.
Therefore, if Ye Xiu didn't show any embarrassment, it would arouse suspicion.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of taking it forcefully. In fact, I am planning to make a deal with you. I will give you a martial art that is no less powerful than Zixia Gong in exchange for it. Moreover, I can guarantee that Zixia Gong will not be given to anyone else except me." Dongfang Bubai said seriously.
"Hey, Miss Dongfang, who are you?" Although Ye Xiu knew Dongfang Bubai's identity, he had to ask once. After all, exchanging secrets without asking about identity was unreasonable in itself.
"I think you should have some guesses." Dongfang Bubai smiled slightly.
“But it’s just speculation. After all, it’s hard for ordinary people to believe that the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai, is actually a woman.” Ye Xiu said with a wry smile.
"Why can't Dongfang Bubai be a woman? You know, in this world, the power controlled by women is not necessarily worse than that of men." Dongfang Bubai's tone was mixed with a hint of arrogance.
"Indeed, Dongfang Bubai can certainly be a woman. However, Zixia Gong is the most important inheritance of Huashan, and it is extraordinary—"
"I can use the Tai Chi Boxing Classics as a bargaining chip for exchange."
“Taijiquan Sutra?” Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: “Taijiquan Sutra is the Wudang Sect’s unique martial art, and its value is no less than Zixia’s merit to Huashan Sect. But it is precisely because Taijiquan Sutra is the core heritage of Wudang Sect that we in Huashan Sect are even less willing to inherit it.”
"Don't dare to accept the Tai Chi Manual? If you want the Sunflower Manual, that's fine too." Dongfang Bubai responded seemingly calmly, but there was a hint of smile in the depths of her eyes. She remembered that when Ye Xiu was writing in his diary before, he repeatedly complained that even dogs would not practice the Sunflower Manual.
“This—Master Dongfang is joking.” Ye Xiu had a strange expression on his face.
"It seems that you don't believe that I will trade with the Sunflower Manual. Then, I can trade with the Book of the Sword of Exorcism. You should think about it carefully. I will come to you tomorrow." Dongfang Bubai said, and her figure flashed and disappeared in front of Ye Xiu. Even though Ye Xiu stared at Dongfang Bubai with both eyes, he could not find how she left.
Even though Dongfang Bubai had left, Ye Xiu's heart couldn't calm down.
He didn't expect Dongfang Bubai to come to him, and in the end, Dongfang Bubai actually mentioned the Pixie Sword Manual? The Pixie Sword Manual fell into Dongfang Bubai's hands? How is it possible? Isn't this too weird? It doesn't make sense?
Fortunately, Dongfang Bubai did not directly rob it. If Dongfang Bubai really wanted to rob it directly, the probability of Zixia Gong being robbed would definitely be very high. After all, in the entire Huashan, only Feng Qingyang could stop Dongfang Bubai.
However, the appearance of Dongfang Bubai also gave Ye Xiu some ideas.
As for the Wind God Leg and the Blood Sword Sutra, perhaps we could take advantage of this opportunity to directly use them instead of having to find a way to create an adventure for Yue Buqun.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiu went straight to look for Yue Buqun.
"master."
"Xiu'er? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" After seeing Ye Xiu, Yue Buqun unconsciously broke into a smile on his face.
Because Ye Xiu was so outstanding, Yue Buqun began to value Ye Xiu more and more.
"Master, I don't know whether to say it is a good thing or a bad thing." Ye Xiu looked a little conflicted.
"Hmm? Xiu'er, tell me what happened?" Yue Buqun couldn't help but become serious when he saw Ye Xiu like this.
"Master, Dongfang Bubai has found his disciple."
"What did you say?" Yue Buqun stood up immediately and said, "Dongfang Bubai? Are you talking about the leader of the Demon Cult, Dongfang Bubai?"
"Yes." Ye Xiu nodded.
Yue Buqun took a deep breath, his expression was particularly solemn. At this moment, Yue Buqun's mood was really terrible.
With great difficulty, the appearance of Ye Xiu gave Yue Buqun hope that the Huashan Sect could flourish. But now, Ye Xiu, this outstanding disciple, has been targeted by Dongfang Bubai. Does this mean that God wants to destroy Huashan?
"Master, don't be anxious, listen to me first. Didn't I just say that I didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for Dongfang Bubai to come to me? For now, Dongfang Bubai doesn't have any ill will towards us." Ye Xiu hurriedly comforted Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but his expression was still solemn. Yue Buqun was still full of vigilance against Dongfang Bubai, because Dongfang Bubai was too scary. Dongfang Bubai represented the entire Sun Moon Sect. The Sun Moon Sect was born to be at odds with the Huashan Sect, and he did not believe that Dongfang Bubai could have any good intentions towards Huashan.
"Xiu'er, tell me, start from the beginning, what exactly happened." Yue Buqun asked after calming down.
"Yes, today I was practicing my inner strength in my room, but I didn't expect Dongfang Bubai to suddenly appear in my room. I didn't notice how he appeared, and that's when I realized something was wrong. After talking to him, I was told that he was actually Dongfang Bubai."
Yue Buqun listened to Ye Xiu's words with a gloomy expression. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking, and he did not interrupt Ye Xiu.
"Afterwards, Dongfang Bubai said something to her disciples, explaining her purpose. The sentence was: 'The Zixia Secret Book is the entry level. The Sunflower Manual is the pinnacle!'" As soon as Ye Xiu finished saying this, Yue Buqun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"The Purple Cloud Secret Manual is the entry-level foundation. The Sunflower Manual is the pinnacle? Did Dongfang Bubai say this?"
"Yes, that's what Dongfang Bubai said. She wants the Zixia Gong from our Huashan Sect." Ye Xiu nodded with a serious expression.
“So, he wants to force Huashan to hand over Zixia Gong to him?” Yue Buqun’s expression was particularly ugly. After all, Zixia Gong was the sect’s unique skill of Huashan Sect, but now, someone came to ask for it.
"To be precise, he wants to exchange with us." Ye Xiu explained.
"Exchange?" Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised and puzzled.
“Yes, Dongfang Bubai is willing to exchange her martial arts secrets that are no less powerful than our Huashan Sect’s Zixia Gong.” Ye Xiu nodded and explained.
"Dongfang Bubai actually chose to exchange with our Huashan Sect?" Yue Buqun was still puzzled. Based on his understanding of Dongfang Bubai, or more accurately, the Demon Sect, shouldn't they just grab the things they like? They actually wanted to exchange? This couldn't be a lie, right?
"Xiu'er, are you sure that man is really Dongfang Bubai?" Yue Buqun couldn't help but ask.
"Disciple can be sure - at least the opponent's martial arts is very strong. When she left, disciple stared at her closely, but still could not see clearly how she left. Disciple could not see any trace at all." Ye Xiu said seriously.
"Hiss!" Yue Buqun couldn't help but gasp.
Yue Buqun knew that Ye Xiu was already an innate master, although Yue Buqun did not know that Ye Xiu was about to break through to the fourth level of the innate realm.
But as a congenital master, if he was an equal congenital master, he would be able to see something when the other party appeared and left. But Ye Xiu could not see anything, there was only one possibility, that is, the other party was at least a master-level master.
A master-level expert. If the other party has ill intentions towards Huashan Sect, they can directly wipe out Huashan Sect without any need for exchange.
So, this Dongfang Bubai is still a good person? Yue Buqun couldn't help but have such a strange thought in his mind.
However, Yue Buqun felt that this idea of his was a bit absurd and ridiculous.
It should be said that Dongfang Bubai is a good person. Anyone who hears this will find it funny.
"Dongfang Bubai said that if the master is willing to exchange, she will take out the Tai Chi Manual as a trade." Ye Xiu said to Yue Buqun.
"Tai Chi Boxing Sutra?" Yue Buqun's eyes suddenly widened and his breathing became a little disordered.
The Tai Chi Chuan Sutra is a martial arts secret book written by Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang. It contains Zhang Sanfeng's true meaning of Tai Chi and can help people get started and understand Tai Chi better.
The reason why the Wudang Sect of the Ming Dynasty was established was because the other party brought the Tai Chi Boxing Manual written by Zhang Sanfeng to the Ming Dynasty, which enabled them to successfully establish the Wudang Sect of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the Tai Chi Chuan Manual was stolen from the Wudang Sect more than ten years ago by Dongfang Bubai, who had just become the leader of the Sun Moon Sect.
At that time, Yue Buqun thought that Zhang Sanfeng, who was located in Wudang Mountain on the border of Yuan and Mongolia, would personally take back the Tai Chi Fist Scripture, but nothing happened. Therefore, the Tai Chi Fist Scripture has been kept in the hands of the Sun Moon Sect.
Now the other party is willing to take out the Tai Chi Manual for trading, which makes Yue Buqun very excited.
After all, that was the Tai Chi Chuan Sutra written by the legendary celestial being Zhang Sanfeng himself.
Although Yue Buqun was very excited, he also understood that the Tai Chi Fist Scripture was in the hands of the Sun Moon Sect. The Sun Moon Sect could stop the Wudang Sect, but the Huashan Sect did not have this ability.
If the Tai Chi Manual really fell into the hands of Mount Hua, I'm afraid that Mount Hua would be on the verge of destruction.
“But I know that Tai Chi Fist Scripture is not something that our Huashan Sect can possess now, so I rejected it. Then, Dongfang Bubai changed her bargaining chip.” Ye Xiu looked strange.
"Changed a chip?" Yue Buqun felt a little curious and expectant. He took out the Tai Chi Boxing Manual for the first time, so what about the second time?
Of course, Yue Buqun was a little worried that Ye Xiu’s refusal would anger Dongfang Bubai.
"The Book of the Sword of Exorcism. Dongfang Bubai said that the Book of the Sword of Exorcism can be exchanged for the Purple Cloud Skill."
"The Manual of the Sword of Exorcism?" Yue Buqun widened his eyes. He had been interested in the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism for a long time.
It was just because of some factors, such as Ning Zhongze telling him that he needed to castrate himself before practicing the Sword Manual of Exorcism, that he had not taken any action.
But this time, Dongfang Bubai used the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism as a bargaining chip, which made Yue Buqun a little uneasy.
