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

"Achoo!"

Wanfu Wanshou Garden was the manor where Old Madam Jin lived in seclusion.

The vibrant colors and lush hues create a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

Although Grandma Jin had many children and grandchildren.

However, because she preferred quiet, most of her children and grandchildren did not live in Wanfu Wanshou Garden, but only gathered to visit each other on holidays.

Only her most beloved granddaughter, Jin Lingzhi, stayed by her side, keeping her from feeling lonely.

Meanwhile, in a spacious garden.

Wearing a bright and luxurious crimson short dress that perfectly showcased her slender and voluptuous curves, Jin Lingzhi couldn't help but sneeze because her nose itched.

She rubbed her nose.

He muttered to himself, "That Sect Leader Yue was right after all. While the swordsmanship is exquisite, controlling the sword with internal energy is the true path. I was only dressed lightly in this freezing weather, yet I already feel cold. It's clear my skill and cultivation are still lacking. Alas… it's a pity that cultivating internal energy is so tedious. If only Sect Leader Yue could guide me again… no, no… there's a difference between men and women. That was just a temporary measure, how could I… humph… practice swordsmanship, practice swordsmanship!"

She seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but blush.

He quickly patted his burning cheeks, grabbed his longsword, and resumed his arduous practice in the courtyard.

Fifty thousand taels of gold was an astronomical sum for her.

If she didn't master the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, she wouldn't be able to face her grandmother.

Therefore, after returning to the manor.

During this period, she cultivated even more diligently, even more so than when she was on Bat Island.

After all, back then, she had Sect Leader Yue guiding her step by step, but now, she really can only rely on her own efforts.

And so, in the vast garden, a figure as fiery as a flame once again moved nimbly with the graceful movements of the sword.

At the same time.

In the main hall.

A mother and daughter were sitting facing each other, holding hands and talking intimately.

Grandma Jin is now eighty years old.

Although his spirit remained bright, his body was no longer as robust as before.

If you don't stop taking breaks, you'll get some minor illnesses.

She was concerned for her children and didn't want to tell them about the trouble, but her children were also worried about their mother's health.

Just like right now...

"I went through countless hardships to obtain this thousand-year-old purple ginseng from the ginseng merchant in Changbai Mountain. Don't secretly give it to the children again. Their blood and energy are too strong, and they will be too weak to absorb the tonic. This time, I must watch you drink this ginseng soup yourself."

Grandma Jin had nine daughters, but only eight sons-in-law.

It was because one of her daughters entered the Emei Sect, became a nun, and later inherited the mantle of the Emei Sect's leader, becoming the current leader of the Emei Sect.

That is, the current Abbess Kuyin.

Although she is called a nun, she is only in her early thirties.

Although he had shaved his head, his simple white monk's robes, pure and unadorned, still revealed his enduring charm.

At this moment, she sat facing her mother, and there was no trace of the demeanor of the absolute Master Kuyin from the Emei Sect.

She still looks just like the innocent and adorable girl who used to be, often enjoying her mother's company before she got married.

Listening to my mother talk about which grandson had been disobedient and which grandson had caused trouble during this period...

Then you lament that none of your children and grandchildren are of your bloodline.

After rambling on and on, we ended up circling back to this point.

Master Kuyin could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

It seems that all parents in the world are the same.

No matter how much success you achieve outside, as long as you haven't started a family and had children, you're considered a failure in your parents' eyes.

Therefore, she was always the one who was dragged out and criticized on her mother's birthday.

This is why she no longer likes to come back for her birthday celebrations.

They were all praying for their mothers on the mountain at the time, and then quietly returned to pay their respects afterwards.

Now that I see my mother has gotten back to the main topic...

Master Kuyin said dismissively, "At worst, I'll just adopt one of these younger generations as my own child. I really like Lingzhi, and Mother happens to like her too. From now on, I'll have her call me Mother. I don't think Second Sister will mind too much if her daughter has another mother."

"You can't afford to support her."

When the topic of Ganoderma lucidum came up, Grandma Jin's face lit up with a wide smile.

She chuckled and said, "The daughter you want to acknowledge took 50,000 taels of gold directly from the account last month. When asked what she did with it, she wouldn't say or let you ask. Fortunately, after spending this money, the girl has become much more obedient. She stays at home every day practicing swordsmanship and doesn't go out to cause trouble anymore. It seems that spending 50,000 taels was really worth it."

"She doesn't go out and fool around anymore?"

Master Kuyin, however, clearly had a different perspective. Speechless, she said, "This girl must have gotten into trouble and is afraid of being found out by her mother, which is why she's been behaving so well lately. Fifty thousand taels... wait... could she have caused someone's death?"

"Human life?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Jin's expression also became serious.

Despite their great wealth and influence, the Jin family has never committed any crimes.

Previously, she only thought her granddaughter spent too much money and was being considerate of the family, but she overlooked the fact that she might have caused a big disaster!

"At such a young age, he's already so extravagant, and he even hides his mistakes from his family. If we don't discipline him, what will become of him?"

Master Kuyin stood up and said, "No, I have to go and ask her."

"I'll go with you."

At that moment, Abbess Kuyin helped her mother, and the two of them walked towards the back garden.

We arrived at the back garden.

Amidst the freezing cold, a red cloud in the garden moved as nimbly as a raging fire, its movements, though somewhat stiff, were nonetheless skillful and methodical.

"Um?"

Master Kuyin glanced at it briefly, but her eyes lit up.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Lingzhi's swordsmanship is truly remarkable!"

Grandma Jin was also quite proficient in martial arts.

She nodded and said, "Lingzhi's swordsmanship is so skillful; she must have really worked hard. It seems that Lingzhi hasn't been going out to cause trouble lately because she's been practicing her sword diligently. Hmm, I knew my granddaughter wouldn't be the kind of person who would treat human life like dirt."

"We also need to find out about the 50,000 taels of gold. After all, she's still just a child. Aren't you worried that spending so much money at once might lead her to keep a male lover?"

Master Kuyin walked solemnly into the garden.

At that moment, Jin Lingzhi, who was engrossed in practicing the Thirteen Styles of Cloud and Mist, heard footsteps behind her.

She suddenly turned around, thrusting her sword forward, and shouted, "Take this!"

Master Kuyin's expression remained unchanged, but her forward steps suddenly reversed, only to lunge forward again the instant the sword's momentum swept past her neck.

The speed was so fast that it left no trace.

It looked as if Jin Lingzhi's long sword had slashed across her neck, only to miss its mark.

Jin Lingzhi missed her first strike, but upon seeing that it was Abbess Kuyin, she was immediately overjoyed and cried out, "Auntie, take my sword!"

He drew his sword again and charged forward.

Master Kuyin used her fingers as swords.

He followed the sword moves, avoiding direct confrontation, but relentlessly pressed forward. In just a few moves, he had forced Jin Lingzhi to retreat more than a dozen steps.

She laughed and said, "What exquisite sword techniques! It's a pity that while there are plenty of variations and tricks, there are too few real killing moves. Compared to the Willow Catkin Sword Technique of my Emei Sect, it is inferior. However, it's rare that you, Lingzhi, practice swordsmanship so diligently. If you are interested, your aunt will teach you the Willow Catkin Sword Technique of my Emei Sect, how about that?"

"No need, I'll be fine with just practicing my own sword technique."

Jin Lingzhi pursed her lips, thinking to herself that although the Willow Catkin Sword Technique was indeed the Emei Sect's inherited sword technique, and was unfathomable, in terms of fame in the martial arts world, it was inferior to the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng.

Ku Yin smiled lightly, her beauty and charm shining through her eyes.

She smiled and said, "What? You think my Willow Catkin Sword Technique is inferior to your little-known sword technique?"

Jin Lingzhi pouted and said, "Auntie has such poor eyesight, she can't even recognize it... This is the Huashan Sect's Qingfeng Thirteen Styles, which I bought for 50,000 taels of gold. It's much more powerful than the Willow Catkin Sword Technique."

Although he verbally promised Yuan Suiyun that he would never leak it.

But Jin Lingzhi couldn't help but instinctively show off to her closest family members.

"Gentle Breeze...Thirteen Styles?"

Ku Yin's expression suddenly turned strange, and he looked at Jin Lingzhi as if he were looking at a fool.

She said speechlessly, "You call this sword technique... the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng? Silly girl, I told you before, remember to use your brain when you go out. Now look what you've done, you've been fooled."

Jin Lingzhi blinked blankly, then asked in confusion, "What?"
