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

No one can understand the complexity of Jin Lingzhi's feelings at this moment.

On Bat Island, Yue Buqun's gentlemanly demeanor undoubtedly cast a pebble into the lake of the young girl's heart, creating ripples that never ceased to spread.

Even after returning, she still felt that the other party was a gentleman, and she would occasionally dream about the encounter on Bat Island in the middle of the night, but she felt that it was not entirely a conspiracy.

In the end, however, I was told that this person was a complete fraud from beginning to end.

This fueled Jin Lingzhi's burning anger, but also brought with it a sense of defeat that she herself was unaware of.

This person is not a gentleman at all, so why is he so polite to me?

You don't like me?

Even if you dare to touch me even a few times, I'll definitely draw my sword and stab you three times and leave six holes in your body.

But you don't even touch it...

Isn't the current leader of the Huashan Sect being a bit too impolite?

Therefore, although Master Kuyin dragged her here to seek revenge.

But in reality, Jin Lingzhi herself couldn't figure out whether her anger stemmed from being cheated out of 50,000 taels of silver, or from the fact that the man hadn't taken liberties with her!

"Is he the Sect Leader Yue who swindled you out of 50,000 taels of silver?!"

Master Kuyin looked at Qin Song's corpse, and then at Yue Buqun, who was now standing with his sword in hand, looking handsome and dashing.

My heart skipped a beat!

The two exchanged blows in the blink of an eye.

That move was fast, accurate, and ruthless.

The speed at which the other party reacted and the decisiveness of their actions far exceeded her expectations.

The Huashan Sect Leader before me is far superior to any ordinary, down-on-his-luck sect leader.

Moreover, at such a young age, his skills are so profound. Such a hero would probably be treated as an honored guest wherever he goes.

Why would you choose to engage in such fraudulent and deceptive practices?

Master Kuyin couldn't help but feel a bit curious about the young man who had just forced her to retreat.

She slowly calmed the throbbing in her chest caused by her intense encounter with Yue Buqun.

He said in a deep voice, "So you are the Sect Leader Yue. I thought you had only swindled Lingzhi out of 50,000 taels of gold, but I didn't expect you to have even killed the Nine-Bag Elder of the Beggar Clan. Do you know that the Beggar Clan has disciples all over the world? Regardless of whether you are from Mount Hua or not, your actions will bring you enormous trouble!"

"I'm not the one who caused the trouble; they are!"

Yue Buqun seemed to have no desire to speak to Ku Yin any longer.

He turned to Hua Zhenzhen with concern and asked, "Zhenzhen, are you alright after intercepting that fiend?"

"No...no."

Hua Zhenzhen glanced at Abbess Kuyin with some apprehension.

But she still obediently shook her head.

"Let's go back and deal with it."

Yue Buqun pulled Hua Zhenzhen along and turned to walk back.

Hua Zhenzhen followed closely behind, glancing warily at Abbess Kuyin.

This nun is amazing.

With a soft whisk, she was able to exchange blows with her master's Longevity Sword without being at a disadvantage.

Under the moonlight, a hint of anger appeared on Ku Yin's exceptionally fair face.

He shouted, "Stop!"

Yue Buqun turned around and looked at Kuyin.

He said, "I still have to deal with the innocent people killed by these villains. I don't have time to listen to your idle chatter. If you want to seek justice for Miss Jin, why don't you go to the Huashan Sect and wait there? After I've finished dealing with my business, I'll come back and discuss this matter with you in detail, is that alright?"

"An innocent...person?"

Ku Yin frowned and asked, "Are you really the head of the Huashan Sect?"

Yue Buqun replied, "That is me."

Ku Yin asked, "Aren't these people members of the Beggars' Sect?"

"They are."

Yue Buqun paused for a moment, then said, "But no one stipulates that there can't be wicked people among the righteous sects. The corpse of Elder Bai Yumo, the Nine-Bag Elder, is still at Mount Hua and hasn't been dealt with yet. How could someone who can be lumped together with him be a good person?"

White Jade Demon?

Ku Yin frowned and said to Jin Lingzhi beside him, "Lingzhi, let's go and take a look."

Jin Lingzhi stared intently at Yue Buqun's hand gripping Hua Zhenzhen's wrist, without saying a word.

"Lingzhi? Lingzhi?!"

"Huh? Auntie, did you call me?"

Jin Lingzhi then seemed to wake from a dream and asked in a daze.

"Let's go and see; there's probably more to this than meets the eye."

Ku Yin, holding Jin Lingzhi's hand, followed behind Yue Buqun.

Qin Song was dead, and she had no connection with the Beggars' Sect.

She had acted out of a sense of chivalry before, but now that the other party seemed willing to talk, she didn't mind having a proper discussion with them.

Back in Los Angeles.

The town was deathly silent.

The screams of the Beggars' Sect disciples were deafening, but not a single person in the town came out to watch the spectacle.

These ordinary people living among the people of the martial arts world have long understood the way to survive: avoid getting involved with any martial arts figures.

It will become unfortunate...

In Wang Ma's courtyard, the Beggars' Clan disciples had all been killed or wounded.

Ning Zhongze's strength was already considerable.

After obtaining the most profound Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords of the Huashan Sect, his strength, though not yet at the elder level, was already considered among the elite disciples.

She ignored the corpses of the Beggars' Sect disciples, and only dragged out Wang Ma's unrecognizable corpse.

She stood to the side, looking rather forlorn and aggrieved.

Wang Ma has been employed for some time now.

Ning Zhong, in order to better understand the world, often chatted with her whenever he had free time, so she could be considered the person she was most familiar with.

I heard familiar footsteps behind me.

With a deep sense of guilt, she said in a low voice, "Wang Ma's death was all because of us."

Yue Buqun looked at Ning Zhongze's thin, trembling body.

He gently patted her shoulder and said softly, "I know."

"Wang Ma had no children, and her husband had died long ago. She went to Huashan Sect to cook for us in order to earn money for her retirement. But unexpectedly, because she got involved with us, she didn't live to old age."

Ning Zhongze's voice trembled slightly as he said, "I was just thinking very seriously about how to make it up to Wang Ma. If she had a child, I could give her all the money in the Huashan Sect and take her as a disciple, which would lessen my guilt. But she doesn't have one. She has nothing. Senior brother, we have dragged her down, and we don't even have a chance to make it up to her."

"Then let all those who harmed her go down to join him. Not only that, I will settle this score with the Beggars' Sect and with that Nangong Ling. I will let him know the consequences of offending our Huashan Sect!"

Yue Buqun's voice was cold and stern, but his movements were gentle as he gently pulled Ning Zhongze into his arms.

This junior sister has been cheerful and open-minded since childhood. She treats everyone with kindness and has never seen the filth of the world.

Even the dirtiest internal strife in Mount Hua that she had ever seen was disguised as a conflict over sword energy to make things look peaceful.

But now, in this world of Gu Long's martial arts novels, she has witnessed the cruelest side of human nature.

She didn't blame Wang Ma for revealing information about the Huashan Sect; she only felt that she had implicated her.

When Ku Yin and Jin Lingzhi stepped inside, they were shocked to see the courtyard littered with corpses, severed limbs, and blood. Even the well-informed leader of the Emei Sect couldn't help but change his expression in astonishment.

He cried out in disbelief, "What...what happened here?"

"It's nothing, I just showed you the ugliest side of the Beggars' Sect!"

Yue Buqun said, "Just now, I heard that Beggar Clan thief shouting. Are you the leader of the Emei Sect, young lady?"

girl?

Ku Yin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but gently raise his hand to touch the lotus hat on his head.

Since she was ordained as a nun, how many people have stopped calling her "girl"?

However, she raised her hand halfway and then composed herself, naturally lowering it.

She nodded and said, "This humble nun is none other than Ku Yin, the head of the Emei Sect. I have come here because a junior in my family has been deceived. I intervened after hearing Elder Qin's plea for help, but now it seems... this old woman, could she have died at the hands of someone from the Beggars' Sect?"

Yue Buqun sighed, "Let me take care of these corpses. I will explain everything to Abbess Kuyin later."
