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

Wanfu Wanshou Garden, main hall.

The atmosphere was extremely strange.

When facing her daughter's savior, Grandma Jin was very proper in her manners, expressing her gratitude and offering tea in a set procedure that was the highest level of etiquette.

But throughout this process, she kept her eyes fixed on Yue Buqun, her scrutinizing gaze undisguised.

He would occasionally turn his head to stare at his youngest daughter, the one who caused him the most worry, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.

Ku Yin calmly lowered his head and sipped his tea, seemingly completely unaware of his biological mother's strange expression and gaze. Or perhaps, even if he felt a stirring in his heart, he concealed it completely, revealing nothing.

Grandma Jin became even more suspicious and wished she could drag her daughter to a private place and question her properly.

I told you to keep a close eye on your niece and this Master Yue. Is this considered feeding the tiger with your own body, or stealing from the master?

They seem similar, yet neither seems quite the same.

And this time.

Light footsteps could be heard outside the hall.

A stunningly beautiful woman in a light green brocade dress rushed in, her pretty face still showing excitement. She exclaimed in surprise, "Mother? I just heard that Xiao Jiu was rescued by a hero?"

The words fell.

Her gaze fell on Yue Buqun.

Her beautiful eyes brightened slightly as she exclaimed, "What a young hero! He is indeed handsome and refined, but a bit too young. However, Ninth Sister has good judgment. Although she doesn't understand these things, the physical strength and stamina of young people are indeed much stronger than those in their thirties."

She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Ninth Sister seems to be thirty-three this year, right? Hmm, in her prime, she's quite formidable, a true even match..."

"Little Six, don't talk nonsense."

Grandma Jin slammed her cane down and sternly reprimanded her other outspoken daughter.

Then she apologized to Yue Buqun, saying, "I'm sorry, Sect Leader Yue, my daughter was unruly and offended you..."

Xiao Liu was still covering his mouth, but the smile in his eyes was almost overflowing. Looking at his serious-looking Ninth Sister, he teased, "No, no, it's Ninth Sister who should be bumped. She's over thirty, so she should be bumped more often to make up for what she did before."

"Shut up!"

Grandma Jin thought to herself, "If it weren't for all that trouble before, I would be eager to send them off to their wedding night with a grand celebration."

But now, she only felt that the Jin family was probably going to have a lot of trouble in the future.

She sighed, "We are so grateful to Master Yue today. Otherwise, my little Yin would probably have been killed by villains long ago. Everyone in Wanfu Wanshou Garden is deeply grateful to Master Yue."

She waved her hand.

Immediately, a maidservant stepped forward and presented two rosewood trays. When the trays were opened, they were found to be filled with stacks of gold ingots.

It was so bright and shiny that it hurt the eyes.

Ku Yin frowned immediately, displeased, and said, "Mother, Sect Leader Yue is my close friend and Lingzhi's master. Strictly speaking, he's not an outsider. He did save me, but I've already thanked him. By offering him gold like this, are you insulting him or your daughter?"

She couldn't understand why her mother, who was usually so sensible and principled in her dealings with others, would make such a basic mistake today.

That silly girl!

I'm just worried that you two are getting too close.

Grandma Jin sighed, "I didn't mean anything by it. Master Yue is Lingzhi's master, so he's not an outsider. It's just that he and you are ultimately not related, and you're quite distant. He risked his life to save you, and even though I know this world is materialistic, I really have no other gift to offer in gratitude. Please accept it, Master Yue!"

"In that case, this junior will shamelessly accept it."

He always spends his apprentices' money, and eventually he'll be obligated to pay for their food. How can he then train his apprentices?

Yue Buqun was indeed short of money, so he readily accepted the offer.

Grandma Jin then asked, "By the way, where is the Ganoderma lucidum now?"

"When I learned that Master Kuyin was in trouble, I rushed here as fast as I could. Lingzhi and the others were a step behind and will probably arrive a day or two later."

Yue Buqun said solemnly, "However, I was worried that she would be worried, so I did not tell her the truth. I only said that I was going to visit the old lady. Now that Master Kuyin is safe and sound, there is no need to mention this matter again, so as not to make her feel guilty for not being able to save her aunt herself."

"That's good. I am deeply moved by Sect Leader Yue's concern for Lingzhi. It seems that Lingzhi has made a wise move by following Sect Leader Yue. I am happy for Lingzhi."

Beside her, Abbess Kuyin impatiently brushed away her sixth sister's flirtatious little hand that was sitting next to her.

I couldn't help but frown slightly.

Is it just my imagination?

Why did it feel like my mother mentioned Ganoderma lucidum more often today?

Wasn't she the one most worried that Lingzhi would be scammed?

Could it be that she discovered that Sect Leader Yue was actually an upright and honest person, not the wicked person she imagined, so she no longer rejected the matter?

The problem is that Lingzhi has already become a disciple of Master Yue, yet you personally announced it to the martial arts world.

How could a master and disciple...

and many more!

Could it be because of me?

Kuyin wasn't stupid after all; he finally realized what was going on.

She glanced at Yue Buqun, feeling a pang of regret.

Unfortunately, she had already decided to spend her life with a Buddhist lamp and a Buddha statue; otherwise, doing so would have been a way to protect the Ganoderma lucidum.

After all, if it weren't for the entanglement with the Emei Sect, Sect Leader Yue would be considered a good man.

…………

Yue Buqun's prediction was extremely accurate.

Although Jin Lingzhi was kept in the dark, both Ning Zhongze and Hua Zhenzhen knew the purpose of Yue Buqun's trip.

Therefore, they deliberately quickened their pace, only two days behind Yue Buqun.

The entire Huashan Sect had already arrived at Wanfu Wanshou Garden.

When I stepped into the house.

Jin Lingzhi's small feet seemed to float, and her bright smile couldn't be concealed at all.

Her master suddenly wanted to visit her elders at her home.

Could it be that her careful planning of her daily meals and clothing during this period finally moved her master?

Or is it that Master is too dishonest and has developed some kind of...unspeakable feelings for her?

How annoying.

But apart from this explanation, she really couldn't think of any other reason why her master would suddenly travel thousands of miles to see her grandmother when he only went down the mountain once.

Thinking about it, she glanced at Hua Zhenzhen with a hint of smugness.

Well, it seems she's almost there, having already set herself a small goal: to become the senior disciple of the Huashan Sect.

Master, you've gone too far in favoring me.

Upon entering the garden, they saw Yue Buqun chatting happily with his grandmother.

Her eyes lit up slightly; it seemed Grandma really liked this Master Yue. That was wonderful.

Yue Buqun saw the Huashan group rushing back.

He sighed, "Junior sisters, thank you for your hard work. But I need to get back to the Huashan Sect as soon as possible. I'll get a good rest tonight and set off immediately tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Jin Lingzhi blinked, looking bewildered, and asked, "Why the rush?"

She hadn't even had a chance to properly connect her grandmother and master.

Grandma Jin said sternly, "Lingzhi, Sect Leader Yue has important matters to attend to. As a disciple, how can you waste your elder's time? After all, only by being obedient will Sect Leader Yue like you more, won't he?"

As she spoke her last sentence, her tone already carried a hint of implication.

In the past few days.

Because of Grandma Jin's interference, Yue Buqun almost never spent time alone with Master Kuyin again.

But she could clearly sense that the stories in those novels about heroes rescuing beauties and beauties repaying them with their bodies were indeed very true.

After all, they are flesh and blood of my own flesh.

During this period, the girl would stare blankly every day, and from time to time she would suddenly blush and laugh out loud. She was no longer the quiet and serene person she was supposed to be in as a Buddhist.

She's currently living at her parents' home; otherwise, the two of them would probably already be having an affair.

Especially now that the golden lingzhi has returned.

How could she dare to keep this jinx in her home?

She used to think that it was unacceptable for Jin Lingzhi to fall in love with someone who had deceived and taken advantage of her, but now she suddenly felt that it wasn't actually such an unacceptable thing.
