Chapter Thirty-Nine Untitled

  Linghu Cong happily called out: "Master! Master!"

  Ling Jing's eyes flashed, but he didn't make a sound. He hadn't expected Yue Buqun to turn back so quickly. He thought to himself, "Could it be that he didn't catch up with Yu Canghai?"

  He knew that the Huashan School was originally known for its swordsmanship, but its light body skills were not particularly impressive. However, the Qingcheng School was different. Although their swordsmanship was not particularly unique, their hidden weapon techniques and light body skills were renowned throughout the Jianghu.

  At this time, only heard Yue Buqun outside said: "Chong Er, are you inside?"

  Linghu Chong leaned against the wall and took two steps towards the door, saying: "Yes, both I and my junior brother are here."

  At this time, a faint light appeared in the sky, and Yue Buqun walked into the temple.

  Ling Jing looked at his expressionless face, called out "Master", and stood aside. In her heart, she was thinking: "Yue Buqun has always been trying to get the Lin family's 'Devil-Expelling Sword Spectrum', now that Mr. and Mrs. Lin's corpses are right in front of him, I wonder what he is thinking?"

  Yue Buqun saw the corpses of Lin Zhen Nan and his wife on the ground, furrowed his brow and said: "Is that the Lin couple, the leader of the Lin family's escorts?"

  Ling Jing still didn't make a sound, at this time Leng Qiu stepped forward and told the story of how he and Ling Jing had encountered Miao Kui Feng threatening Lin's couple to hand over "Bixie Sword Spectrum", and how they had pretended to be their master to scare him away. When it came to Lin Zhen Nan's last words, Yue Buqun slightly raised his head and looked at Leng Qiu for a moment, then continued listening with an expressionless face.

  Ling Jing had been observing Yue Buqun's expression on the side, but until Linghu Chong finished speaking Lin Zhen Nan's last words, he didn't see any change in Yue Buqun's face. He secretly sighed and knew that Yue Buqun's internal energy skills had reached an extremely high level. Although he was eager to know Lin Zhen Nan's last words, his face remained calm and expressionless. This composure was truly deep and frightening.

  At this time, Yu Fang suddenly heard a sigh and said: "Yu Canghai has committed such a heinous crime, it is really in vain for the Orthodox Sect Master."

  Ling Jing suddenly smiled and stepped forward, saying: "Master, just now the disciples saw you chasing that Yu Canghai with his tail between his legs. In the end, didn't Yu Canghai apologize to you?"

  Yue Buqun shook his head and said, "The Qingcheng Sect's lightness skill is indeed superior to ours. I chased after Yu Jianzhou for a long time, but couldn't catch up with him, and instead was gradually pulled away by the distance. The Qingcheng Sect's lightness skill is indeed one better than our Huashan Sect."

  Ling Jing smiled ambiguously and said: "What's the big deal if one's lightness kung fu is high or not, in the end it's still being chased by Master like a stray dog."

  He has a vendetta against Yu Canghai, so naturally he wouldn't be that polite when talking about it now.

  Yue Buqun's face sank, and he rebuked, "Jing'er, don't spout nonsense. If this gets out, people in the jianghu will think that Huashan Sect is arrogant and looks down on others. Not to mention the impact on our sect's reputation, Qingcheng Sect won't let it go easily either."

  Ling Jing turned his head and stuck out his tongue, but he didn't take Yue Buqun's words to heart. Anyway, he had already made a great enemy of Yu Canghai, so what did it matter if he said a couple more things? He responded with a simple "Yes".

  Yue Buqun caught sight of his movements and shook his head with a helpless smile, saying "You're such a child."

  Then he frowned and looked at Linghu Chong, saying: "Chong'er, how are your injuries?"

  Linghu Chong didn't have a system to heal his injuries like Ling Jing did, and at this point, even walking normally felt strenuous. However, in order not to worry Yue Buqun, he smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just can't fight with people recently."

  Yue Buqun looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "Having suffered such severe injuries, you don't think of taking good care of yourself, but instead still want to engage in combat with others. You're just like Jing'er, really making it difficult for your master to worry about you."

  Yue Buqun said a couple of words, then turned around and walked into the courtyard. He took out a firework from his bosom, lit it with a tinder, and threw it up into the air. The firework shot up to the sky, exploded with a loud bang, and transformed into a silver-white long sword that hovered in mid-air for quite some time before slowly falling down. After descending over ten zhangs, it turned into a multitude of shooting stars filling the entire sky.

  This is the signal firework of Mount Hua's sect leader gathering his disciples. Before half a meal's time had passed, the sound of footsteps was heard in the distance, rushing towards the broken temple. Soon, Gao Jianming called out from outside the temple: "Master, are you here?"

  Yue Buqun said: "I am in the temple."

  Gao Genming rushed into the temple and bowed down, calling out: "Master!"

  At this time, Ling Jing and Lin Hu Dung were seen standing inside the temple. Overjoyed, he rushed forward to hug them both, exclaiming: "Big Brother, Little Brother, I've finally found you!" He looked at Lin Hu Dung and continued, "Big Brother, everyone heard that you were seriously injured, we were all worried sick."

  Linghu Chong smiled and said: "Thanks also to my little brother and a friend, I was able to save my life."

  Ling Jing suddenly remembered that on that day, in the Returning Goose Tower, Linghu Chong was rescued by a mysterious white-clothed person. At this moment, he felt great doubt in his heart. After all, he was familiar with the plot of this world, but he had no information about this master. He couldn't help but want to ask out loud.

  Yue Buqun furrowed his brow and asked first: "Chong'er, did you recognize the person who saved you?"

  Linghu Chong said, "Master, actually the friend who saved me that day, I only had a drink with him once before and didn't even know his name clearly. This time, however, I owe him a great favor."

  Ling Jing and Yue Buqun heard that even Lin Pingzhi didn't know the identity of this person, both felt a great deal of suspicion in their hearts. Logically speaking, such a master should not be unknown in the Jianghu world. But Lian Pingzhi had also been in the Jianghu for many years and yet he too did not know the identity of this person, this situation was indeed somewhat strange.

  After a while, the remaining disciples of Mount Hua arrived one after another. Everyone saw Linghu Chong safe and sound, they were overjoyed. Only Lin Pingzhi saw his parents' corpses, he immediately knelt down beside their bodies and burst into loud wails.

  Everyone saw Lin Pingzhi's sad tears, and in front of Linghu Chong, they didn't dare to say anything happy about the reunion. At this time, Yue Lingshan walked up to Linghu Chong and said with joy: "Big brother, now that we see you're safe and sound, we can finally be at ease."

  Linghu Chong apologized: "Sorry, I made you worry."

  Ling Jing couldn't help but glance at Linghu Chong and Lin Pingzi as Yue Lingshan entered, feeling somewhat displeased in her heart. She then stood to one side with a cold expression, standing together with some ordinary disciples of the Hua Shan Sect.

  At this moment, Yuke Lingxuan and Lin Huchong gathered together, a cold smile in her heart, out of sight, out of mind, turned around and walked towards the temple.

  Yue Buqun caught sight of his movement and suddenly said, "Jing Er, where are you going? Later we'll be going to the guest house together to rest for a night, and tomorrow we'll set off back to Mount Hua. Don't get separated from everyone again."

  Ling Jing's body paused for a moment, then turned around and said: "Disciple, don't worry, I just went outside the temple to get some fresh air."

  Yue Buqun nodded and didn't say much more, then instructed the others: "De Nuo, Gen Ming, you two go to Hengshan City to buy two coffins."

  Lao Denuo and Gao Genming nodded and went out of the temple to buy a coffin.

  Linghu Chong saw Ling Jing leaving alone and frowned, saying: "Little sister, you and little brother..."

  Yue Lingshan forced a smile and said: "Ling Jing was originally like this, with the temperament of a child, so Master Brother doesn't need to worry."

  She said this with some difficulty, and Linghu Chong heard it in his ears, naturally not believing it. He sighed helplessly in his heart, originally just because of a momentary thought, he co-created the "Chongling Swordsmanship" with Yue Lingshan, but didn't think that Ling Jing would still hold a grudge until now. Although it seemed like Ling Jing had already forgiven himself at the Huiyan Building, towards Little Shifu, he seemed to still be unable to let go.

  At this moment, he smiled wryly and said: "Little sister, it was brother's temporary mistake that has caused you trouble."

  Yue Lingshan forced a faint smile, seemingly unwilling to say more, and said: "Big Brother Master, I'll go take a look at Ling Jing first." She turned around and also walked out of the temple.

  Linghu Chong gazed at her slender back, a complex expression flashing across his face.
