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

……

"I will leave Huashan tomorrow and start traveling around the world."

"It's just the current situation. How can I explain it? If Master wasn't in a bad condition, Master's wife wouldn't have let me go down the mountain so quickly."

"After all, my situation is still a little dangerous. The news that I am a genius might be known to Zuo Lengchan. If Zuo Lengchan knew that I left Huashan, he might send people to hunt me down."

"But with the Wind God Leg, I can escape any danger as long as Zuo Lengchan doesn't come to catch me personally."

"Master's wife probably let me go down the mountain for this reason."

"Of course, the most important thing is the Shenzhaojing."

"Although Master's Wife only told me to do it myself, I know that Master's Wife wanted me to get the Divine Illumination Scripture, so she asked me to leave Huashan."

"Well, besides me, there is also Senior Brother Linghu Chong."

"Tomorrow we will both set out to go down the mountain. Then we will go our separate ways and search for the Divine Illumination Scripture in the world."

"From what Master's Wife means, she wants to make Linghu Chong an open target to attract the Songshan Sect's attention, and then let me act in secret. This way, it will be safer for me."

"But Linghu Chong's side is a bit dangerous."

"I didn't expect Master's Wife to treat Linghu Chong this way. It's a bit beyond my expectation. After all, Linghu Chong was raised by Master's Wife since he was a child. She almost raised him as her own son. But now she wants to put him in the open to attract attention."

"I always feel like Master's Wife is a little bit special to me, as if she thinks I will definitely be able to find the Divine Illuminating Scripture."

"Could it be that it's because I handed in the Wind God Leg? So you think it's easier for me to find martial arts secrets than for others?"

"I don't quite understand. I understand a little bit but I don't quite understand."

"Of course, it is also possible that Master's Wife no longer sees me as just a disciple, but as the pillar of the Huashan Sect. In addition, Master suddenly changed from being Master's Wife's senior brother to being her senior sister, which made Master's Wife feel a little uneasy about Master."

"So, when Huashan Sect encounters a crisis, Master's Wife will come to me for consultation."

"When encountering a difficult problem, the first person my master thinks of is me."

"Even when they encounter other problems in life, they will come to me first to discuss and ask for my advice."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that my position in Master's wife's heart has really changed. Maybe, my position in Master's wife's heart has replaced Master——"

"Amitabha, what a sin, what a sin, I feel like something is wrong."

"After we get down the mountain tomorrow, let's head for Jingzhou City. Ding Dian should still be in Jingzhou City."

"I just don't know whether the plot of Lian Cheng Jue has started or to what extent it has developed."

"You're still not well-informed. I don't know what's going on. I have to go and see for myself."

"Let's go to Jingzhou City and see the treasure of Emperor Liang Yuan, the big golden Buddha. Then go to the prison of the government office and look for Ding Dian - maybe I should look for Ling Shuanghua first. If Ling Shuanghua wasn't buried alive by Ling Tuisi, then Ding Dian wouldn't be so averse to me."

"As long as Ling Shuanghua is rescued and Ding Dian is told that he knows the location of the Lian Cheng Jue treasure, Ding Dian's vigilance will be dispelled, and then we can get the Shen Zhao Jing from Ding Dian."

"If the process goes smoothly, it won't take long to get the Shenzhaojing."

"Master, wait a minute and see if this Shenzhaojing can turn you into a man again."

Chapter 101 Huang Rong

“Junior Brother Ye, the world of martial arts is dangerous, so you must be extra careful.” Linghu Chong said to Ye Xiu at the foot of Mount Huashan.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I will be careful." Ye Xiu nodded.

"The road ahead is long, so we'll say goodbye here." Linghu Chong clasped his fists towards Ye Xiu, then turned around and left with a smile.

Ye Xiu looked at Linghu Chong's figure, then turned and left in the opposite direction of Linghu Chong.

After Ye Xiu turned around, Linghu Chong, who had already walked some distance, stopped, looked back at Ye Xiu's back, and his expression became extremely complicated.

To be honest, Linghu Chong was actually quite envious of Ye Xiu, even to the point of jealousy.

The little junior sister who always liked to follow him around, started to like hanging around Ye Xiu since they started in Hengyang City, and became less close to him as the senior brother.

As for the master and his wife, their attitude towards Ye Xiu also changed drastically.

Originally, the only person that the master and his mistress treated like their own son was Linghu Chong, but now the same has become Ye Xiu - no, Master Yue Buqun's attitude towards Ye Xiu is even better than his previous treatment towards Linghu Chong.

Faced with this situation, it was impossible for Linghu Chong not to feel envious or jealous.

However, that night not long ago, Ye Xiu demonstrated his innate fourth level cultivation, and Linghu Chong suddenly understood why his master and mistress treated Ye Xiu so well.

Come to think of it, Ye Xiu is only 18 years old, but he has such a high level of cultivation. With Ye Xiu's talent, as long as he doesn't die prematurely, he will definitely be able to become a master or even a grand master and carry forward the Huashan Sect.

And Linghu Chong, who was in his twenties, still relied on the Dugu Nine Swords to break through to the Xiantian realm. He was far inferior to Ye Xiu.

"Junior Brother Ye, then, let me, the senior brother, escort you and attract your attention." Linghu Chong murmured.

In fact, the night before Linghu Chong went down the mountain, Ning Zhongze also found Linghu Chong and talked a lot to him.

After all, Ning Zhongze really raised Linghu Chong as his son. Although Linghu Chong's various actions made Ning Zhongze feel uncomfortable, he couldn't just give up his feelings for Linghu Chong.

In Ning Zhongze's heart, Linghu Chong is still like his own son, but now this son has become less filial and obedient.

Ning Zhongze chose to tell Linghu Chong the truth, and asked him what Ye Xiu meant to Huashan Sect, and why Yue Buqun and himself valued Ye Xiu so much.

At the same time, Ning Zhongze also made no secret of why Yue Buqun and her own feelings towards Linghu Chong had changed. Of course, Ning Zhongze did not mention Yue Buqun's self-castration to practice swordsmanship.

Such heartfelt words also cleared up the grudge in Linghu Chong's heart.

At the same time, Linghu Chong also understood why he had become so embarrassed in Huashan.

Finally, Ning Zhongze also explained to Linghu Chong the purpose of him and Ye Xiu going down the mountain this time. Of course, this purpose was concealed and modified to a certain extent.

Ning Zhongze's original words were: "Your master forced a breakthrough in order to improve his strength and protect Huashan. Although he has now broken through, he has also been injured, and the injury is not light. So this time, you, Junior Brother Ye, went down the mountain to find a martial art called Shenzhaojing to heal your master's injuries."

Afterwards, Ning Zhongze even took the initiative to talk about the plank road repair in the open while secretly attacking Chencang, but when he gave the final instructions, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but change his words.

"After we go down the mountain, Xiu'er needs to hide his identity. As for you, Chong'er, you should also hide your identity well. Safety is the most important thing."

So at this time, Linghu Chong knew almost everything except that Yue Buqun had castrated himself to practice sword skills.

So Linghu Chong made his choice now.

He did not try to conceal his whereabouts, and let everything take its course. When he was discovered by the Songshan Sect, he would attract a wave of attention, which would help Ye Xiu relieve pressure.

But Linghu Chong didn't know that Ye Xiu's situation was even more special and he didn't actually need his help to relieve the pressure.

Of course, Ye Xiu himself didn't know either.

……

Ye Xiu put on makeup, and his originally handsome face was obscured. The sword in his hand also became the sword given by Dongfang Bubai. It seemed that he had no connection with the Huashan Sect.

In fact, Ye Xiu had not been around much before, so not many people knew his true identity. After he had covered up his true identity, even fewer people could recognize him.

Watching Ye Xiu riding away from afar, Dongfang Bubai, Huang Rong and Qu Feiyan stood there and watched quietly.

"Master, Ye Xiu has come down the mountain. Should we also take action?" Qu Feiyan said excitedly.

Because Ye Xiu had been staying in Huashan before, Qu Feiyan and even Huang Rong had no reason to get close to Ye Xiu. As a result, Ye Xiu's favorability towards them remained the same, and he almost never mentioned them in his diary.

Huang Rong and Qu Feiyan had been getting a little impatient for a long time. Now that Ye Xiu had finally come down the mountain, they finally had the chance to get close to Ye Xiu.

"Next, I need to go back to Black Wood Cliff." Dongfang Bubai said to the two of them.

"Ah?" Qu Feiyan looked stunned, while Huang Rong raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I have been away from Black Wood Cliff for a long time. Although there are people here who have been reporting information from the sect to me, some things must be dealt with after I return." Dongfang Bubai explained casually.

"Oh? The leader wants to go back to Blackwood Cliff? That's too good to be true - too bad to be true. I can't continue to follow the leader. I just can't muster up any energy." Qu Feiyan said this, but from her fluttering eyebrows you can tell how excited she is.

After all, she had always been by Dongfang Bubai's side, and with Dongfang Bubai watching her, she couldn't do anything she wanted to do. So much so that after leaving Hengyang City for so long, she hadn't even shown up in front of Ye Xiu.

Dongfang Bubai looked at Qu Feiyan quietly.

"Um, well, I, I haven't been to Black Wood Cliff for a long time, and I miss it a little bit. How about, I go back with the leader?" Qu Feiyan laughed dryly.

"Okay, Qu Feiyan, you come with me to Heimu Cliff. As for you, Huang Rong, you can move freely." Dongfang Bubai gave direct orders.

"Ah?" Qu Feiyan widened her eyes, looking unable to accept it.

"Thank you, Sister Dongfang." Huang Rong smiled happily, especially when she looked at Qu Feiyan, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, which made Qu Feiyan feel like her tail was stepped on. She shouted unconvincedly, "But Master, why can Huang Rong move freely, but I have to go to Blackwood Cliff?"

"Going to Heimu Cliff, that's what you said yourself." Huang Rong said with a smile.

Qu Feiyan's cheeks were puffed up like a puffer fish.

In the end, Qu Feiyan followed Dongfang Bubai to Heimu Cliff with a dejected look on his face.

As for Yi Lin, she continued to stay alone at her home in Huayin County.

Dongfang Bubai discovered that Yi Lin's character was too simple, and her love for things was also quite simple.

Yilin didn't like the complicated world outside. She preferred to stay alone in the small Buddhist temple, whether it was chanting scriptures or praying. Most of the day was spent like this.

Although life was simple and peaceful, Yilin felt very happy.

In fact, Yilin felt that it would be better if her family settled at the foot of Mount Heng instead of in Huayin County.

In this way, she can live with her sister and visit her master and her senior and junior sisters from time to time.

As for why Yilin was allowed to stay in Huayin County instead of going to Heimu Cliff——

After all, Blackwood Cliff is the main altar of the Sun Moon Sect. Yilin was a nun of the Hengshan Sect before. If Yilin went to Blackwood Cliff, she would feel very uncomfortable and even worried. It would be better for her to stay in Huayin County. At least Huayin County is at the foot of the Huashan Sect, so there won't be too many problems.

As for safety, a large number of Black Wood Cliff's masters are hiding here just to protect Yi Lin. How could Yi Lin be in danger?

……

Ye Xiu rode his horse and headed towards Jingzhou City.

When he arrived at a small town, it was already getting late. Ye Xiu decided to rest in the town for one night and leave tomorrow.

Just as Ye Xiu rode his horse to Yue Lai Inn, he dismounted.

Just when Ye Xiu was about to go eat something to fill his stomach, a quarrel broke out from a small shop selling steamed buns next to Yuelai Inn.

Ye Xiu turned his head and saw that the shop owner selling steamed buns was arguing with a little beggar.

The little beggar wanted to eat the steamed bun without paying, and the bun seller wouldn't let him.

"Okay, if you don't want to eat it, then don't. I'll give it back to you." The little beggar said, putting the steamed bun in his hand back.

"You, you, look at what you have done to this steamed bun. It's all dirty. How can you still sell it?" The shop owner who sells steamed buns couldn't help but yell loudly.

It’s not that the bun seller was unreasonable, it’s just that the bun that the little beggar put back had five black fingerprints on it.

The buns themselves were quite white, tender and pretty, and quite appetizing. But now, there were five black fingerprints on the plump white buns, and they really couldn't be sold.

But the little beggar stretched out his little hand and grabbed all the steamed buns in the basket, leaving five black fingerprints on them. This time, the matter became a big deal.

The bun seller became relentless.

Ye Xiu had a strange expression on his face. He always felt that the scene before him had a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Ye Xiu couldn't help but look at the little beggar——Oh, he's an acquaintance!!!

"Brother Mu? It's you!" Ye Xiu shouted with a little surprise.

This little brother Mu is also a very smart person. Back when they were in Hengyang City, he used his wisdom to help Ye Xiu and Yue Lingshan.

"Brother Ye? What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here!" After seeing Ye Xiu, the little beggar Huang Rong seemed to have not expected to meet an old friend here, and spoke to Ye Xiu happily.

"Well, you have to compensate me for my steamed buns--" the steamed bun seller couldn't help but say something at this time.

“Here.” Ye Xiu took out ten copper coins and threw them over.

One copper coin could buy two steamed buns, and that basket of steamed buns had less than twenty buns, so ten copper coins from Ye Xiu were enough.

After taking the copper coin, the bun seller gave Huang Rong the bun that she had just grabbed.

"Bah, I don't want this kind of dirty steamed bun." Huang Rong curled her lips.

"Alright, alright, since Brother Mu doesn't want to eat the steamed buns, forget it. I also need to eat, so Brother Mu, please join me." Ye Xiu casually invited Huang Rong.

Huang Rong's eyebrows immediately danced with joy: "That's what you said, but I'm a very picky eater, I can't eat ordinary food."

"...Then let the restaurant serve some good signature dishes." Ye Xiu shook his head. As for his friends, he didn't mind treating them to a good meal. Especially after Ye Xiu conquered Jingzhou City, he would go to Tianning Temple first to take out some treasures, so the amount of money didn't mean much to him.

"That's what you said." Huang Rong said, and walked into the Yuelai Inn next door one step faster than Ye Xiu.

"Waiter, first give me four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, two salty and sour fruits, and four candied fruits."

"I don't know, what kind of dried fruit do you want? Which four fresh fruits do you want? And what kind of salty and sour fruits do you want? Which four candied fruits do you want?"
