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

The Huashan Sect's time travel is an exchange between two sects.

This also resulted in Yue Buqun not receiving even the slightest bit of Ku Mei's gift.

The majority of Huashan Sect's savings were actually taken from the disciples of Shi Guanyin.

However, the Huashan Sect now has an extra little mouth to feed.

Hua Zhenzhen joined the Huashan Sect as a runaway girl. She was even cleaner than Yue Buqun. Not to mention tuition fees, she didn't even have a change of underwear when she went up the mountain.

In addition, the family of three needed to practice martial arts every day, so they spent money to hire an old woman from Luozhen to take care of their daily chores.

Seventy-odd taels of silver may seem like a lot, but in reality, more than half of it was spent in less than a month.

Next, Yue Buqun must find a way to make money.

Not only that.

Yue Buqun's desire to acquire the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng still hadn't died down.

However, Hua Zhenzhen's mouth was much tighter than Yue Buqun had imagined, and he couldn't force it open.

Then we can only follow his previous advice and use Huangfu Gao as a breakthrough point.

As long as he can save Huangfu Gao, the little girl will naturally let down her guard. Although Huangfu Gao can also learn the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, Hua Zhenzhen's value is not limited to the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng!

It's worth noting that Abbess Kumei was able to learn such a ruthless martial art as the Heart-Piercing Hand thanks to Hua Zhenzhen's instruction.

From this perspective, as long as you can completely lower her guard, there's much more to gain than you might imagine.

As for how to save Huangfu Gao, Yue Buqun has come up with an idea after thinking about it for some time.

Chu Liuxiang!

Without a doubt, Yuan Suiyun's Bat Island has only just begun to open, and Shi Guanyin is still alive.

It's clear that the story hasn't even begun yet.

At first, Yue Buqun's idea was to simply follow the plot.

Once Chu Liuxiang enters the desert and clashes with the Stone Guanyin, just let her die in the plot.

Once Shi Guanyin dies, the Huashan Sect will be free of a major threat and will naturally be able to flourish immediately.

However, after careful consideration, Yue Buqun abandoned the idea.

the reason is simple.

The Butterfly Effect!

Although Yue Buqun and Shi Guanyin did not have a clear meeting and seemed to have no impact, the butterfly effect is terrifying because of its chain reaction.

Furthermore, the fact that Chu Liuxiang was able to defeat Shi Guanyin involved far too many coincidences.

Even Chu Liuxiang himself had to admit that the difference in strength between the two was simply too great.

The victory last time was merely a matter of chance.

In fact, even if the two fought a thousand times, he might not be able to win even once!

Therefore, although Yue Buqun and Chu Liuxiang were complete strangers, there was no doubt that if he wanted to deal with Shi Guanyin, Chu Liuxiang, the BOSS gatekeeper, was his best tool!

However, figuring out how to utilize this highly skilled master thief requires a high level of expertise.

Moreover, the most urgent task is to find out the current timeline of the story.

Back to the Huashan Sect.

Breakfast was ready by then.

Because they were martial arts practitioners, the meals were quite plentiful.

Breakfast consisted of a pot of stir-fried minced meat sauce, which was fragrant and delicious, and contained large chunks of meat coated in juicy oil.

Pour it over the wide noodles that have been soaked in cold water.

Pair it with a bite of warm noodle soup or wonton soup to cleanse your palate.

The taste was absolutely wonderful.

Mount Hua is located in Weinan, Shaanxi Province, a region known for its love of noodles.

The old woman's cooking skills weren't particularly outstanding, but she was exceptionally good at making noodles, with a wide variety of dishes.

Yue Buqun was so dizzy from eating that he felt a little dizzy.

The family of three sat facing each other and began to eat heartily.

Even Hua Zhenzhen, who seemed shy, was starving after being trained by Yue Buqun all morning, and all she could think about was rice.

After finishing a bowl of noodles.

My abdomen felt warm and full.

Yue Buqun looked at the hunched old woman beside him who was washing clothes.

He asked, "Aunt Wang, you live in Luozhen and are well-informed. Have you heard anything about any major events that have happened in the martial arts world recently?"

This Wang Ma, whose real name is Wang Xiufen, was a helper hired by Yue Buqun in Luozhen.

It is said that her husband was also a member of the underworld, but he was killed by being hacked to pieces after offending the gangsters.

She was left all alone and helpless.

Yue Buqun paid her 3 taels of silver a month to come up the mountain to prepare two meals a day and do laundry and cleaning for the three of them.

Because she was often taken care of by her deceased husband's friends, although she wasn't a member of the martial arts world, she had some understanding of its affairs.

Upon hearing Yue Buqun's question.

Wang Ma stopped her work, wiped her hands with her grayish-brown apron, and recalled, "If you're looking for something, there is. Recently, it's said that several large merchants in the capital have been robbed. These merchants have even jointly issued a wanted notice, pooling together five thousand taels of silver, declaring that whoever can help them steal back their lost property will have all five thousand taels handed over!"

Five thousand taels of silver? That's a huge sum of money.

Yue Buqun's heart suddenly stirred.

Wang Ma said, "But that's the strange thing. At the time, many people in the martial arts world were drawn by the news of the five thousand taels of silver, but not long after, these merchants voluntarily withdrew the warrants and didn't mention their lost property at all, as if nothing had happened."

Ning Zhongze had chopsticks in her mouth, and because she had eaten chili oil, her lips were bright red, making her look exceptionally full and attractive.

She asked in surprise, "Was the thief so skilled that these people didn't even dare to pursue the matter afterward?"

"Perhaps it's not so much about being capable, but rather about being morally blackmailed."

Yue Buqun casually replied, a strange expression on his face.

Hua Zhenzhen asked in surprise, "Morality...can it also hold people hostage?"

"Of course, morality is very powerful, especially when it comes to kidnapping."

Yue Buqun seemed to be deep in thought, then asked, "Do you know what was lost?"

"I don't know about that."

Wang Xiufen replied, then asked with a smile, "What would you like to eat tomorrow, Mr. Yue and the two young ladies? I'll buy it for you then."

Yue Buqun immediately turned to Hua Zhenzhen and asked with concern, "What would Zhenzhen like to eat?"

Ning Zhongze: "…………"

Hua Zhenzhen thought about it seriously for a moment, then said softly, "The wide noodles from yesterday... were just fine."

"Oh, noodle soup? Okay, I'll make it for you guys later."

Wang Xiufen chuckled and said, "Tomorrow, I'll buy some beef for you, dice it, and mix it into the sauce. It will taste absolutely delicious."

"Thank you very much, Aunt Wang."

A strange smile appeared on Yue Buqun's lips.

Well, he and Ning Zhongze, brother and sister, grew up together since childhood and know each other very well.

He was especially fond of Ning Zhongze, and he even helped her urinate back then.

But recalling yesterday, Hua Zhenzhen, this seemingly delicate and frail little girl, was holding a huge bowl almost bigger than her face, slurping noodles with gusto, making her pink cherry-like mouth burn with gusto.

It's quite interesting.

However, this girl's tastes were much stronger than I had imagined.

"Alright, you guys get busy."

Aunt Wang chuckled kindly.

During this time, she went to great lengths to cook delicious meals for Yue Buqun and the others, doing so with utmost care.

You should know that even if you do hard labor in Luozhen, you can only earn about eight qian of silver a month.

But Yue Buqun gave her three taels a month.

Aside from the fact that climbing the mountain is a bit tiring.

The work on the mountain every day was easy, and there was even time to embroider small things, which could then be taken down to town to sell.

One job, two incomes; if this continues, I'll soon be able to earn enough for retirement.

Therefore, Wang Ma took this job very seriously and naturally did her best.

Therefore, after receiving the instructions, she began to have her own ideas.

By evening, dinner was ready.

She told Ning Zhongze and the others not to wash the pots, and that she would come back to clean them up early the next morning when she went up the mountain. Then she hurriedly went down the mountain.

Fresh meat can only be bought in the morning.

However, to make oat noodles, you still need to use oat flour to knead the dough.

Moreover, it requires three awakenings, three rubbings, and three prickings.

Hua Zhenzhen specifically requested to eat it tomorrow morning, so it will definitely be too late to eat it now.

She planned to go back first to buy the oat noodles, knead them, soak them in fresh lard overnight, and then carry them up the mountain early the next morning.

The flavor will definitely be even stronger then.

We descended the mountain and returned to Luozhen.

I immediately went to the rice and noodle shop to buy oat noodles.

After some bargaining, I managed to buy an extra five catties of flour, saving one coin per catty.

Since Miss Hua loves to eat it, I imagine it will be prepared often in the future.

Yue Buqun gave her funds for daily purchases.

The other party was very easy to talk to and never asked about the specific expenses, which clearly indicated that they were quite wealthy and did not care about such petty gains.

As the saying goes, even a three-year drought won't starve a cook.

She could have profited from this...

But Wang Ma never took a single penny.

She had no children and her husband had died early, so she wanted to take advantage of the fact that she could still work to earn some money for her retirement.

Those small, easy profits may actually block your path to making big money.

Although Wang Ma was illiterate, she understood this point clearly.

Only when I go home.

When they arrived at the gate of their own dilapidated courtyard.

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

A slightly amused voice rang out, asking, "Auntie, I heard you recently found a good job?"
