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

Page 260

Jiang Ning looked at them.

“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Anyone who dares to leave, I’ll send them to the underworld first.”

The news that Jiang Ning was going to personally deal with the Xu family at the gate of the Xu residence had spread throughout Guyang County, and the crowd of onlookers was growing larger and larger.

As the young man became the first to stand up and seek revenge against the Xu family, more and more ordinary people have stepped forward to do so.

Jiang Ning would always ask them why they wanted revenge, and then personally question the Xu family members. Once he got confirmation, he would let the persecuted people take their revenge.

As time passed, Jiang Ning discovered that none of the people kneeling were innocent; each had committed at least one crime, and some had even done too many evils, so many people wanted to take revenge on them.

Jiang Ning would first immobilize these people by striking their pressure points before letting the common people take revenge. The most tragic case involved someone who was even dismembered by the angry crowd, which shows how much they hated the Xu family who had been bullying them for many years.

Du Lanyin stood outside watching.

At this point, her great revenge had been achieved.

……

far away.

"Master, they are too arrogant."

A disciple from Mount Song looked indignant upon seeing this scene.

“This is the territory of my Songshan Sect, and he’s here to be a chivalrous knight.”

The other disciples from Songshan had the same expression.

Han Tianpeng's face was gloomy.

After leaving the Xu residence, they didn't leave but stayed outside to see what Jiang Ning would do next, but they unexpectedly witnessed this scene.

“Master, why don’t we go back and report to our sect leader, Uncle-Master, and ask him to find the Huashan Sect to give us an explanation?”

One of the disciples said in a low voice.

"Yes, Master."

Another disciple said, "Look at how arrogant and domineering he is here. It must be Yue Buqun's doing. We must teach the Huashan Sect a lesson."

Hearing his apprentice's words, Han Tianpeng's face darkened, but he didn't say anything.

After a while.

"Let's go."

Han Tianpeng sneered and turned to leave.

"They won't be able to keep this up for long."

Upon hearing Han Tianpeng's words, the disciples seemed to understand something, nodded, and followed him away.

……

"thanks, thanks."

An elderly woman kept thanking Jiang Ning, and was about to kneel down and kowtow the next second.

The old woman was covered in blood, but it wasn't hers.

At this moment, the area outside the Xu residence was extremely bloody, with corpses lying on the ground and people seeking revenge all around.

"Thank you, hero, for giving this old woman the opportunity to avenge my son."

The old woman thanked her through tears.

"No need to thank you."

Jiang Ning helped her up and shook his head slightly.

There were many people like the old woman who wanted to thank Jiang Ning, but they were all refused.

And by then it was coming to an end, and it was getting dark.

As darkness fell, some of the onlookers turned pale and hurriedly left to go home. Some of the people who had come to seek revenge also sensed something was wrong and left. By this time, very few people remained.

“My benefactor, it’s getting dark. You should hurry on your way. Don’t stay on the street, or you might encounter a white-faced evil spirit.”

A commoner said to Jiang Ning.

"I see."

Jiang Ning nodded without saying anything.

After a while, until the last person left, the street was deserted.

"Junior brother."

Du Lanyin walked over.

"Let's go too."

Another day was wasted, but now that the revenge has been taken, Du Lanyin wants to get back to the main force as soon as possible.

"Not urgent."

But Jiang Ning shook his head.

"what happened?"

Du Lanyin was somewhat puzzled.

"Although the Xu family is gone, there is still a white-faced evil spirit haunting Guyang County."

Jiang Ning's expression remained calm.

"Are you really going to catch this pale-faced demon? Maybe it's real?"

Upon hearing this, Du Lanyin's face showed worry.

People are generally afraid of ghosts and gods, and Du Lanyin was no exception.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know once we take a look."

Jiang Ning smiled and said.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was determined to do so, Du Lanyin didn't say anything, but simply asked, "Junior brother, where do we go now?"

Jiang Ning said, "Let's find a place to rest first, and I'll go find that white-faced evil spirit at midnight."

As Jiang Ning spoke, he glanced at the Xu residence behind him.

"This place is quite nice, let's rest here for a while."

"Right here?"

Du Lanyin hesitated upon hearing this.

The Xu mansion is now practically deserted. The Xu family members have been beaten to death by the enraged crowd, and some of the servants who had committed evil deeds along with them were also killed. Some innocent people escaped and left the Xu mansion. The huge Xu mansion is now empty, with only corpses lying on the ground at the entrance, which looks very creepy.

Du Lanyin was a little scared in this environment.

But Jiang Ning seemed to have no qualms and entered the Xu residence without hesitation. Seeing this, Du Lanyin had no choice but to follow.

night.

Jiang Ning, who was resting in the main hall, opened his eyes, went outside, looked at the moonlight overhead, and estimated that it was almost midnight. It was time to go out and look for traces of the white-faced evil spirit.

"Hmm, where's my senior sister?"

Jiang Ning looked around but couldn't see Du Lanyin.

I don't know where they went.

Jiang Ning searched the Xu residence and soon found Du Lanyin at a lotus pond.

At this moment, Du Lanyin stood by the lotus pond, lost in thought, just like Jiang Ning had seen her in a daze at Lingfeng Academy last time.

"Sister."

Jiang Ning called out as he approached, bringing Du Lanyin back from her daze.

"Junior brother."

Du Lanyin simply responded, then stared blankly at the lotus pond again.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Ning knew that she was thinking about her deceased parents again.

After a long time.

"When I was very young..."

At this moment, Du Lanyin spoke up and began to talk about the happy times she had with her parents when she was a child.

Jiang Ning simply listened quietly from the side.

"Woooo..."

As she spoke, tears streamed down Du Lanyin's face, and she began to sob.

Jiang Ning didn't understand how she was feeling at that moment, but he figured she must be in a lot of pain.

"I...I miss them so much..."

Du Lanyin said, her voice choked with sobs.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning wanted to go over and comfort her, but the next second Du Lanyin rushed over and burst into tears in his arms.

Jiang Ning's body stiffened instinctively, and his expression froze instantly.

Chapter 348: The Eccentric

Du Lanyin's sudden action caught Jiang Ning off guard, and his body instinctively felt a sense of rejection.

Jiang Ning disliked overly intimate gestures. The moment Du Lanyin hugged him, Jiang Ning instinctively raised his hand to push Du Lanyin away.

"Woooo..."

Du Lanyin's broken cries were very clear in the night.

Hearing the crying in his arms, Jiang Ning's raised hand paused subconsciously.

Jiang Ning's gaze softened, and he reached out to pat Du Lanyin's shoulder.

After a long time.

As Du Lanyin's sobs subsided, she realized that she was still in Jiang Ning's arms. Her face flushed red, and she quickly took a few steps back.

"Junior brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

Du Lanyin explained in a somewhat flustered manner.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, indicating that it was alright.

Du Lanyin looked at the wet patch on Jiang Ning's chest, which was dampened by her tears.

"Junior brother, I'm sorry, I got your clothes wet. Why don't you go change?"

Du Lanyin said somewhat embarrassedly.

Jiang Ning looked at the water stains on his chest and shook his head.

"No need to bother."

After he finished speaking, a pure white gas dissipated from Jiang Ning's body, and after a while, the area of ​​Jiang Ning's clothes on his chest became dry again.

"This……"

Du Lanyin was dumbfounded.

"Let's go, senior sister."

Jiang Ning turned and walked outside.

"okay."

Du Lanyin quickly followed.

After leaving the Xu residence, the two arrived on the main street.

Huh, huh.

The streets were completely silent, with only the howling of the cold wind.
