Yue Buqun: My Mount Hua has been time-traveled.

Hua Zhenzhen's life has not been ideal during this period!

Her joining the Huashan Sect was naturally for ulterior motives.

As a direct descendant of Hua Qiongfeng, the fourth-generation leader of the Huashan Sect.

Her ancestors had always considered themselves the guardians and watchdogs of the Huashan Sect.

However, in order to avoid being controlled by the sect leader, the Hua family has always remained outside the Huashan Sect, unless Huashan faces a life-or-death crisis, or the sect leader makes a mistake and commits an unforgivable error.

Otherwise, they would never easily reveal themselves.

However, this time the situation is different from before.

When the Huashan Sect faced the crisis of annihilation, four of the Seven Swordsmen of Huashan perished during Shi Guanyin's attack.

Apart from Ku Mei, the other two were also scattered and lost.

In the end, it was only with the desperate help of Hua Zhenzhen's father, Hua An, that Shi Guanyin was finally forced to retreat.

After returning to the Hua family mansion, Hua An succumbed to his injuries not long afterward.

Fortunately, Shi Guanyin was also seriously injured in that battle, and her unrestrained behavior in the martial arts world displeased the Divine Water Palace.

To avoid the limelight, she had no choice but to live in seclusion in the desert.

This gave the Huashan Sect a glimmer of hope, allowing them to barely survive.

After that, Hua Zhenzhen followed in her father's footsteps, diligently studying the techniques left behind by Hua Qiongfeng and taking on the responsibility of being a guardian.

Until recently, although Shi Guanyin did not enter the pass, she sent her disciples to attack the Huashan Sect again, killing several people in succession.

This matter naturally attracted Hua Zhenzhen's attention.

Although she is young, she has mastered the most profound martial arts techniques inherited from the Huashan Sect, and her martial arts skills have surpassed those of her father.

Although he was no match for Shi Guanyin, he believed that protecting the Huashan Sect would not be difficult if he faced those disciples.

However, after Hua Zhenzhen arrived at the Huashan Sect...

I then discovered that things were far more complicated than I had imagined.

He thought that as long as he found the withered plum, explained the truth, hid himself as an ordinary disciple of the Huashan Sect, and then came to the rescue at the critical moment, he could succeed.

After all, the identity of the guardian of Mount Hua is passed down from generation to generation among the sect leaders, and Ku Mei must know of her existence.

But to everyone's surprise, the withered plum tree had disappeared.

Not only that, but the female disciples she had mentioned in her intelligence report, such as Gao Yanan, Gu Qingshuang, and Gu Xiaoxiao, had also disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the only person left behind on Mount Hua was a young girl who was not much older than her.

Could it be that Shi Guanyin's disciples are so terrifying that even the withered plum tree is no match for them?

However, upon further investigation, it didn't seem like that.

After all, although the Huashan Sect had just experienced an attack, they did not have such a sorrowful mood.

Therefore, in order to investigate intelligence, Hua Zhenzhen, posing as a female disciple who was sparsely skilled in martial arts, passionate about martial arts, and who had voluntarily sought refuge at Mount Hua to escape an arranged marriage, became the first disciple of the Mount Hua Sect.

Although Ning Zhongze was intelligent, she was still inexperienced in the ways of the world.

In addition, Hua Zhenzhen has a pure and lovely appearance and a graceful and delicate figure.

Her soft-spoken manner perfectly embodied that of a young lady who had just left her secluded home and was now all alone.

Thus, caught off guard, Hua Zhenzhen managed to extract a considerable amount of useful information.

For example, the Huashan Sect Leader, whom she had taken as her master but had never met before, turned out to be Ning Zhongze's senior brother.

His name was Yue Buqun.

Because a master had intervened and saved the Huashan Sect from Shi Guanyin's subordinates, the other party had a favor to ask, so he went to repay it...

Is that the handsome and extraordinary man who left in a carriage?

Hua Zhenzhen recalled the extremely luxurious carriage she had seen at the inn!

But after spending the last month together, Hua Zhenzhen has become almost certain of one thing.

That means that although this Martial Aunt Ning Zhongze was not in the Hua family's intelligence, she was indeed a disciple of Mount Hua.

And he was still single-mindedly focused on guarding Mount Hua.

Even though only two people remain in Huashan now, they have never thought of leaving.

Such a person is naturally not an enemy.

However, the origins of the other party remain a mystery.

Therefore, Hua Zhenzhen dared not reveal her identity and could only obediently follow Ning Zhongze in practicing standing meditation and building up her foundation in martial arts.

She started practicing swordsmanship at the age of five, achieved some success at the age of seven, and had already reached a high level of expertise by the age of nine.

Now, however, he has to practice standing meditation every day, just like any other disciple, making his days incredibly dull and monotonous.

At this moment, her longing for the withered plum blossom had reached its peak.

If someone like Ku Mei knew her identity, she would naturally treat her specially.

But now...

Therefore, when Ning Zhongze said that there was no need to hone his body any further and that he could further study the basic sword techniques of Mount Hua, he was surprised.

Hua Zhenzhen's joy was even greater than when she was finally able to learn the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng.

"Great! I already know the Huashan sword technique by heart. The sword practice should be much easier to pass up. I might even be able to perform a little better, which would earn me the favor of Martial Aunt Ning. Maybe I can get more important information from her."

When Hua Zhenzhen returned to her residence, after washing up, she lay on the tatami mat, still unable to contain her joy, and rolled around on the bed.

Until the next morning.

Twilight.

Ning Zhongze then brought Hua Zhenzhen to Chaoyang Peak.

Facing the rising sun.

Ning Zhongze was dressed in pure white, with white flowers in her hair, and looked as delicate as an orchid.

She stood with her sword in hand and said solemnly, "Zhenzhen, although my Huashan basic sword technique is only an entry-level technique and focuses more on tempering the body, it is in line with the advanced sword techniques. You must not take it lightly when you practice it. You have great talent and a good foundation. I think that in a few months you will be qualified to learn our Huashan Sect's Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords."

Jade Maiden Nineteen...Sword?

Hua Zhenzhen was taken aback, thinking to herself, "Does our Huashan Sect have this sword technique? How come I don't know about it?"

At this moment, Ning Zhongze had already begun to unleash the Huashan sword technique, move by move.

White clouds emerge from the mountain peaks, a phoenix arrives in auspicious ceremonies, a celestial official hangs upside down, a white rainbow pierces the sun, and ancient pines welcome guests...

Ning Zhongze was exceptionally talented, and after receiving instruction in the lost sword techniques of Mount Hua, she gained a unique understanding of basic sword techniques.

He would demonstrate each move and then meticulously explain it.

Although the transitions are not smooth, they are meticulous and detailed, making them easy to understand!

Clearly, she had put in a lot of effort in figuring out how to teach her disciples.

Little did Hua Zhenzhen know that while she appeared serious, she was completely bewildered inside.

Did I wander into the wrong Huashan Sect?

This isn't our Huashan swordsmanship either, is it?

Could it be that in just over ten years, the Huashan Sect has already started anew because its lineage was destroyed by Shi Guanyin?

This is the only possibility at the moment.

However, the Huashan sword technique is agile and nimble, making it perfect for laying the foundation for beginners. It is in no way inferior to the sword technique she learned back then.

Hua Zhenzhen was now looking at it even more carefully.

A moment later, she was able to perform the basic Huashan sword technique fairly well, but in her heart, she couldn't help but silently miss Master Kumei once again.

Clearly, neither this Uncle Ning nor that master they had never met knew anything about the so-called guardian.

He naturally couldn't reveal his identity.

If the withered plum tree were still here, why would we need to be so careful in our investigation?

Just ask...

It should be noted that as the guardian of Mount Hua, she also has the power to supervise the sect leader.

Their status is so high that they can even ride on the head of the sect leader.

Thinking about it, although the sword technique was somewhat similar, after one rehearsal...

Both Ning Zhongze and Hua Zhenzhen sighed in unison.

Hearing the other person sigh, Ning Zhongze looked at Hua Zhenzhen curiously...

Hua Zhenzhen then realized that she had lost her composure and said shyly, "This disciple just felt that the Huashan sword technique was so exquisite. With such an exquisite inheritance, it is truly unpredictable that our Huashan Sect has been reduced to only the three of us."

Ning Zhongze assumed Hua Zhenzhen was disappointed by the sect's small size and gently comforted her, "It's alright, so what if there are few people? As long as the three of us can live well, that's better than anything else."
