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

Lu Yaofeng vowed never to see anyone from the Kunlun Sect again.

But after Qiu Lingsu pulled her aside and whispered a few words to her, she immediately changed her mind and expressed her willingness to travel with Sect Leader Yue, only asking that Sect Leader Yue tell her not to show her face in public, but to simply cover her face with a light veil like Qiu Lingsu.

Yue Buqun wished she would never show her face.

He now admires Yuan Suiyun immensely.

Everything they sell has a flaw.

The single Longevity Sword has caused him so much trouble.

This girl has far more problems than the Longevity Sword.

So, after less than an hour of preparation, the group set off together down the mountain.

Jin Lingzhi is by nature a restless person.

Having been cooped up on the mountain for so long, the sudden descent has me incredibly excited.

She moves with great speed and energy.

Her first thought was to rent a large carriage from a brokerage firm to show off her wealth, which was as impressive as her ample bosom.

But Yue Buqun stopped him.

He said, "Since your aunt mentioned being injured in her letter, her injuries are probably quite serious. We should reunite with her as soon as possible. The carriage is too slow. We should each take a fast horse and hurry to Shaolin Temple."

"Ah, Master is right, I was really negligent."

Jin Lingzhi said with shame, "I am not as concerned about my aunt as I am about my master. I am unworthy of being a junior. My master is much more considerate."

As she spoke, she went and bought several more fast horses.

Among the group, only Qiu Lingsu was delicate and not very skilled at horseback riding.

However, Ning Zhongze was with her, and since both of them were light and agile, riding together on one horse was not a problem.

The group sped off toward Shaoshi Mountain.

In their haste to continue their journey, they subsisted on dry food and water along the way.

Three days later.

The six of them had arrived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.

Since Shaolin Temple had widely issued invitations to heroes, it had naturally already arranged for monks to receive guests.

Upon learning that it was the Huashan Sect that had arrived, the monks who were in charge of receiving guests did not show any disrespect because the Huashan Sect was small in number. On the contrary, they were reserved and somewhat at a loss.

Ning Zhongze is heroic and spirited, Hua Zhenzhen is delicate and shy, and Jin Lingzhi is bright and lively.

Although the other two women had their faces covered by light veils, their captivating charm could be glimpsed simply by looking at their figures.

Is this the Huashan Sect?

Anyone who didn't know better would think some rich young master had brought his wives and concubines to Shaolin Temple to pray for a child.

The monk in charge of receiving guests led everyone to the main hall.

Abbot Tianhu of Shaolin Temple took the initiative to welcome them.

It is evident that although Mount Hua has declined, it is still a prestigious and orthodox sect, and the treatment it deserves has not diminished in the slightest.

During their conversation, he even took the initiative to inquire about the whereabouts of Master Kumei. In just a few words, he had already established a friendly relationship with the Huashan Sect, showing his warm and welcoming attitude.

Although it was another Huashan sect they were pulling.

Yue Buqun referred to himself as Ku Mei's junior brother.

He explained that his senior sister had important matters to attend to and had relinquished her position as sect leader to him. Due to the urgency of the situation, she did not announce it to the martial arts world.

Although Yue Buqun was young, he had a refined and elegant demeanor, with bright and clear eyes, revealing his profound internal strength.

Furthermore, since Master Tianhu knew Qiu Lingsu's identity, it's clear that Headmaster Yue also had the backing of Abbess Kuyin, so there was no doubt about it.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yue Buqun couldn't wait to inquire about the whereabouts of Abbess Kuyin.

After a while.

In a quiet meditation room on the back mountain.

"Auntie!"

Jin Lingzhi burst through the door and saw that inside, the Venerable Master Kuyin was sitting cross-legged on a futon, resting with her eyes closed.

He let out a joyful cheer and leaped into her arms.

"Lingzhi?"

Master Kuyin was still wearing the same plain white monk's robe as before, with her dignified monk's hat covering her cloud-like hair.

Aside from her somewhat pale complexion, she appeared dignified and serene, which blended well with the Buddhist atmosphere.

Upon seeing her niece arrive, she asked in surprise, "How did you get here so quickly?"

"We rushed here as soon as we heard you were injured."

Jin Lingzhi glanced at Yue Buqun and helped him take credit, saying, "And it wasn't just me; Master also cared about you a lot. If he hadn't suggested it, I would have foolishly bought a carriage and rushed here."

Beside her, Qiu Lingsu couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself, "Don't praise me anymore. The more you praise me, the harder my future days will probably be."

Ku Yin then looked up at Yue Buqun and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader Yue."

Yue Buqun asked with concern, "It's alright. This matter was caused by me. Are your injuries serious?"

"It's nothing, just some minor injuries from being ambushed by thieves. I'll be fine after a while."

Ku Yin smiled faintly and said, "The reason I wrote it in the letter was just to remind you that Nangong Ling is becoming increasingly reckless. It seems he's really in a hurry, so I wanted to remind you to be careful on the road. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

Yue Buqun asked, "What is the current situation?"

Ku Yin said, "Master Tianfeng is willing to testify, and the leaders of various sects are basically aware of this matter. The purpose of this martial arts conference is to invite Nangong Ling to Shaolin to confront him personally. If he dares to come, he will surely be disgraced. If he doesn't dare to come, it means he is guilty."

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun asked, "What about Wuhua?"

"No flowers?"

Upon hearing this, Ku Yin sighed softly, "Master Wuhua already knew about his background. It was because of his personal testimony that Master Tianfeng was able to confirm that he had a younger brother. He was also heartbroken to learn that his brother had gone astray, but for the sake of justice in the martial world, he was also willing to come forward and testify that Nangong Ling was his younger brother!"

"He... testified against me personally?"

Yue Buqun was taken aback upon hearing this.

He then realized that because of his intervention, Wu Hua's side hadn't even had a chance to turn against him before Nangong Ling had already made a direct statement.

If that's the case, then his so-called accusation...

Perhaps it's more a case of making a drastic, timely decision to cut off one's own arm.

At this moment, Ku Yin still said with admiration, "Although this makes it difficult to conceal Master Wuhua's alien identity, he is indifferent to fame and fortune and has no interest in power. It seems that he really doesn't care about other people's opinions."

And it even gave him a good reputation?

Yue Buqun was immediately displeased.

Seeing that Yue Buqun's expression was unusual, Ku Yin asked curiously, "What's wrong? Does Sect Leader Yue have a different opinion?"

Yue Buqun said calmly, "I don't have any extra insights, but we have investigated Shi Guanyin very thoroughly, so we know some information that no one else knows. There are some doubts that are difficult to understand."

"What's suspicious?"

"Wuhua is the elder brother, and he was already seven years old when he entered Shaolin. Nangong Ling is the younger brother, and he should have been just an infant when Ren Ci adopted him, right?"

Yue Buqun looked at Qiu Lingsu.

Qiu Lingsu nodded and said, "When Nangong Ling was adopted by us, she was indeed just a babbling infant."

"Wu Hua already knew about his background, but who told Nangong Ling about it? Shi Guanyin is far away in the desert. Although she has many capable people under her command, it's probably impossible for anyone to have contacted Nangong Ling in secret without the help of Chief Ren, right?"

Ku Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Leader Yue, you mean...?"

Yue Buqun said, "There's something else. Master Tianfeng probably hasn't told you. As far as I know, after Master Wuhua was adopted by Master Tianfeng at the age of seven, Master Tianfeng has been poisoned three times in the past twenty years. Master Tianfeng is incredibly powerful and unparalleled in the martial arts world. In addition, he is in the heavily guarded Shaolin Temple. Who has such ability to poison him repeatedly? It's hard to guess who the culprit is."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Lingsu realized something and said, "Wait a minute, if that's the case, then Master Tianfeng voluntarily resigned from his position as abbot of Shaolin and went to the Southern Shaolin to recuperate... Could it be that he was worried that if he became the abbot of Shaolin, Wuhua, as the abbot's close disciple, combined with his own strength and potential for enlightenment, would make it difficult for the entire Shaolin to suppress him from becoming the next abbot!"

Ku Yin looked at Yue Buqun in shock, then realized, "Could this be the reason you've always disliked that Master Wuhua? I thought..."

Yue Buqun asked, "What do you think?"

"N-nothing..."

Ku Yin couldn't help but show a shy expression.

At this moment, the small feet hidden inside the monk's boots were awkwardly curled up into a ball.
