The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 263

Jiang Ning was also searching everywhere.

At this moment, he was holding a package in his hand, inside which was the head of the Whiteboard Demon.

The head was covered up, and it didn't cause much of a stir.

A short while later, a sword-shaped symbol appeared on a pillar.

That was a signal from their Huashan Sect.

"Senior sister, over here."

Upon seeing the signal, Jiang Ning led Du Lanyin toward the direction of the sword's head. Along the way, they encountered several more signal markers from the Huashan Sect. Finally, they arrived at an inn where Jiang Ning met Lu Dayou, Liang Fa, Tao Jun, and other Huashan disciples, as well as some Taishan disciples, who were talking.

"Junior brother, I heard that something happened to your Mount Tai Sect. What exactly happened? Tell us about it."

Tao Jun asked the Taishan disciples with a curious expression.

"This……"

The people who were asked the question looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.

Before setting off, Tianmen Daoist had instructed them not to reveal the dramatic changes within the Taishan Sect before the Five Mountains Alliance Conference, and they had kept this in mind. Now, when Tao Jun and the others asked about it, they were unsure whether they should speak up or not.

"Yes, what's wrong? Junior Brother Jinyu has seemed down these past few days. He won't say anything when we ask him. Is something wrong with your Mount Tai Sect?"

Lu Dayou also inquired.

The Taishan disciples looked at each other, but still didn't say anything.

"Senior brother."

Jiang Ning then interrupted their conversation.

Lu Dayou turned around and saw that it was Jiang Ning, and his expression lit up with joy.

"Junior brother, junior sister, you've arrived."

The other Huashan disciples also surrounded Jiang Ning upon seeing him.

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning, how have you been?"

The Taishan disciples all recognized Jiang Ning and came forward to pay their respects.

"Fellow senior brothers."

Jiang Ning returned the greeting first, then asked, "How long have you been here? Where are Master, Mistress, and Uncle Feng?"

"Oh, they're all upstairs. We've booked the whole inn."

Lu Dayou quickly replied, "We only arrived yesterday. Master said he would wait for you here. We thought you would arrive in two more days."

After speaking, Lu Dayou looked at Du Lanyin.

"Junior Sister Du, have you taken your revenge?"

"Isn't that obvious? Junior Brother Jiang Ning went along to get revenge."

Tao Jun immediately retorted to Lu Dayou's statement.

Du Lanyin nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Sixth Senior Brother. I have already avenged my parents."

"I am sorry for your loss."

Liang Fa said to Du Lanyin.

Du Lanyin smiled.

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning, it's been several months. How have you been?"

A disciple of Mount Tai smiled at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning recognized him and said, "Thanks to Senior Brother Faxing's concern, everything is fine."

This Taishan disciple was none other than Faxing, who had previously led Jiang Ning on a tour of Taishan.

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Fa Xing smiled and said, "I should thank Junior Brother Jiang Ning for last time, otherwise..."

Fa Xing didn't finish speaking, but Jiang Ning already understood his meaning and smiled, "Senior brother, there's no need for thanks. The Taishan Sect and the Huashan Sect are allies of the Five Sacred Mountains and are already like brothers. We should help each other out, so why speak of outsiders?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the Taishan disciples all smiled.

"What are you talking about? I can't understand a word you're saying."

Seeing Jiang Ning and Fa Xing's seemingly incomprehensible conversation, Lu Dayou and Tao Jun were also completely bewildered.

"Junior brother, what's going on? What did you do to help them?"

Lu Dayou quickly asked.

"nothing."

Jiang Ning didn't say much. He had overheard Lu Dayou and Fa Xing's conversation and knew that they didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't interfere. Now he was going to find Yue Buqun first.

"Junior brother, what are you holding in your hand? Is it food?"

At this moment, Tao Jun finally noticed the package in Jiang Ning's hand. Out of curiosity, he wanted to take it to look at it, but Jiang Ning swayed his hand and avoided him.

"This isn't for eating; it should be given to Master first."

Upon hearing that it was for Yue Buqun, Lu Dayou and the others suppressed their curiosity and did not ask any further questions.

"Master is on the second floor, in the first room on the right. He's chatting with his wife and Uncle Tianmen."

Lu Dayou gave Jiang Ning directions.

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Jiang Ning nodded, then entered the inn and went upstairs, arriving at the door of the first room on the right.

By then he could hear conversations inside the house.

It was Yue Buqun talking to Tianmen Daoist.

Jiangning knocked on the house.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The conversation stopped, and a few seconds later the door creaked open; it was Ning Zhongze who opened it.

"Ning'er, you've come?"

Ning Zhongze's eyes showed surprise upon seeing him, but this was quickly followed by joy.

"Master's wife."

Jiang Ning was about to bow when Ning Zhongze stopped him.

"No need for all that trouble, come in first."

Ningzhong then made way to let Jiangning in.

"Yes, Master Wife."

Jiang Ning then entered the house and saw Yue Buqun, Feng Buping, Tianmen Daoist, and some Taishan sect Daoists sitting inside.

"Disciple greets Master, Uncle-Master Feng, and all senior uncles."

Jiang Ning entered and bowed to Yue Buqun and the others.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

After several months apart, upon seeing Jiang Ning, the previously cold-faced Taoist Tianmen revealed a slight smile, and the other Taishan Taoists also smiled and nodded in response.

Yue Buqun laughed and asked, "How did your trip to Guyang County go? Did you avenge Lan Yin? Were there any unexpected events?"

Jiang Ning nodded and smiled, "It's no surprise that Senior Sister has avenged her great grudge."

"That's good."

Yue Buqun nodded, then looked at the package in Jiang Ning's hand.

What's in here?

There was a hint of curiosity in Yue Buqun's tone.

Jiang Ning smiled upon hearing this and raised the package he was carrying.

"This is a gift for Zuo Lengchan."

Chapter 351: The Busy Mr. Mo

"Meeting gift?"

Yue Buqun and the Tianmen Taoist looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although I don't know what Jiangning means, I imagine it's not something good.

"What's in it?"

Yue Buqun nodded and asked.

Jiang Ning lifted the package and a smile appeared on his face.

"The head of the blank-board evil star."

"what?"

Yue Buqun and Tianmen Daoist were not in a hurry to react and asked a question subconsciously, but they were both shocked.

"You killed the Blankboard Killer?"

Tianmen Daoist immediately stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "The White-Boarded Fiend Star has been missing for over a decade! How did you encounter him?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tianmen Daoist realized something.

"The Whiteboard Demon Star has submitted to Zuo Lengchan. I met him in a county town not far from Mount Song."

Jiang Ning said with a smile.

Tianmen Daoist nodded and then sat down.

Yue Buqun then said, "Continue."

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "When I accompanied Senior Sister Du to Guyang County to avenge her parents..."

Jiang Ning then recounted the events of his trip, including the white-faced evil spirit of the White-Boarded Demon and his encounter with Han Tianpeng at the Xu family's residence.

After a while.

"Ah."

Tianmen Daoist sneered and said nothing.

His cold laugh wasn't directed at Jiang Ning, but at Zuo Lengchan.

"Zuo Lengchan actually took in a notorious evil figure like Baiban Shaxing, and even condoned the exploitation of the people by unscrupulous local gentry and allowed Baiban Shaxing to harm the people. What difference is there between such a person and the demonic path?"

A Taoist priest from the Taishan School spoke angrily.

"I think the Songshan Sect has become a den of iniquity."

Another Taoist priest from the Taishan School spoke up.

Listening to his junior brothers' words, Tianmen Daoist did not speak, but the expression on his face was obvious.

"Go and put it down. You've been carrying a human head all this way, don't you find it smelly?"

Yue Buqun covered his nose and said to Jiang Ning.

Although Jiang Ning had already dealt with the head of the Whiteboard Demon, it was only a simple process. Yue Buqun, with his keen sense of smell, could already faintly smell the stench emanating from the package.

"Leave it to us."

Tianmen Daoist waved his hand, and one of the Taishan Sect Daoists stood up to take the package from Jiang Ning's hands.

Jiang Ning quickly replied, "No need to trouble you, Master Uncle."

"fine."

The Taoist priest from the Taishan Sect smiled and said, "We also brought Zhong Zhen's head with us, so we can put it together with Zuo Lengchan's."

He then took the package from Jiang Ning, opened it, glanced at it, and said, "You handled it wrong. It won't last long; it'll rot in a few days."

He was the one who handled the heads of those Taibao in Zhongzhen before, so he had experience in this area and could tell at a glance that Jiang Ning hadn't handled it well.
