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

They just came to pay for their services yesterday, and today the escort agency has gone bankrupt?

Yue Buqun's first thought was, "Could it be that Chief Escort Guo has run away?"

But after inquiring around, they learned that Longmen Escort Agency had indeed gone out of business.

But before going bankrupt, they will complete one last shipment, which is said to be personally escorted by the head镖师 (chief镖师) who has not escorted any goods for twenty years, and almost all the capable people in the entire镖局 (镖局 is a type of镖局) are brought along.

So it was because of my escort mission that the Longmen Escort Agency, which had been in business for decades, went bankrupt?

In other places, Yue Buqun might be somewhat shocked, but in the world of Gu Long, it's different.

He inexplicably felt that this was what was considered normal.

However, it seems the letter has already been sent.

And it should also be effective.

The master and his apprentice left Xiangyang City and continued their journey towards Mount Hua.

During this journey, Yue Buqun's dimensional overlap increased by another 3%!

the reason is simple.

The news that the Huashan Sect leader had killed the Shaolin traitor Wuhua with his sword, defeated the Beggar Clan traitor Nangong Ling, and killed both sons of the female demon Shi Guanyin had spread throughout the martial arts world.

On the way back to Mount Hua, during the rest and meals at the inn, Yue Buqun heard some heroic female warriors angrily denouncing him as a hypocrite more than once.

Not only did they kill Master Wuhua, they even dared to slander his reputation.

Shaolin is such a coward. Not only did they not dare to seek revenge after their own disciple was killed, but they also severed ties with the traitor Wuhua.

It can only be said that Wuhua had a very good image in the eyes of those young ladies and female knights.

He is now dead.

Yue Buqun thus incurred the wrath of these female warriors.

At that moment, Hua Zhenzhen couldn't help but want to explain to them that Wuhua was a deep and thoughtful person, but Yue Buqun directly shut her up.

This kind of brain-dead female warrior has probably been brainwashed into believing that if Wu Hua beckons her finger, they will willingly undress and offer themselves to her in bed.

Once they find out that he is Yue Buqun, the difficulty of leaving this inn will be no less than fighting their way out of Shaolin Temple.

However, I didn't expect that showing off in public not only requires being in front of others, but the subsequent fermentation can also provide overlap.

According to Yue Buqun's deduction, it should be because he and Ning Zhongze were not actually from this world, but relied on the Huashan Sect to travel through time.

In other words, they have no sense of belonging in this world.

Therefore, by establishing himself on the Huashan Sect, he gained recognition and respect from people in the martial arts world, thus enhancing his own presence.

Even hatred, these emotions will become the basis for his and Ning Zhongze's existence in this world.

Reputation isn't just about positive things; it can also be negative.

In other words, although these girls were cursing him, they were actually helping him.

Thinking of this, Yue Buqun thought, so what if I'm a hypocrite? I like the feeling of lying through my teeth. It seems I really am a born hypocrite.

"Master, are you just going to let them insult you like this?"

When Hua Zhenzhen was dragged out, she was still full of resentment.

The main problem is that those so-called female warriors used such vulgar language...

According to them, Yue Buqun and Wuhua clearly fell in love with the same woman, but the woman ignored Yue Buqun and secretly loved Wuhua. As a result, Yue Buqun was consumed by jealousy, plotted to kill Wuhua, and even splashed dirty water on him to tarnish his reputation. Then, he used despicable means to win the beauty's heart!

Even in their conversations, it was as if they were the beauties themselves.

"These vulgar women, what kind of person is Master? How could Wu Hua compare to them? How dare they spread such rumors and even project themselves into the stories? Don't they even know what they look like? How could they be worthy of Master?"

Hua Zhenzhen was really angry.

Her little mouth chattered away, and the words she uttered were completely unlike her usual quiet and gentle demeanor.

"Alright, no need to be angry. These people are just at the very bottom of the martial arts world, echoing what others say. Have you seen the major sects say anything that truly knows the truth?"

Yue Buqun laughed and said, "This matter was probably spread by Abbess Kuyin. However, she meant well. After all, she deliberately concealed herself. People in the martial arts world only know that I killed Wuhua, the number one young master of Shaolin, and Nangong Ling, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect. How high must my martial arts be? After Shi Guanyin dies, these qualifications will be the best signboard for me to strengthen our Huashan Sect and recruit disciples."

Upon hearing this, Hua Zhenzhen's mood inexplicably plummeted.

She hesitated before asking, "Does Master really like Abbess Kuyin?"

Yue Buqun nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course. If it weren't for her help, we wouldn't have been able to eliminate the Beggar Clan leader so easily. After all, it's the largest gang in the world with a large number of members. If we really got entangled, our Huashan Sect would have been dragged into the quagmire and it would have been difficult to get out."

"No, I didn't mean that kind of liking..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing, Master. Let's hurry on our way. It's rare that Shi Guanyin hasn't attacked us during this time. She probably doesn't know our location. We should get back to Huashan Sect as soon as possible."

"That's true."

The two ignored the gossip of the people in the martial arts world along the way.

Regardless of the kind of fame, being famous is a good thing; even being infamous is still fame.

It was another few days of long and arduous travel.

It was seven days later when I set foot in Luozhen again.

Returning to his hometown, even Yue Buqun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief this time.

He gently smoothed his stubble, a result of his days of travel, and his body was covered in dust...

Even Hua Zhenzhen, who was once pure and elegant, was now covered in dirt and looked ashen.

Although they passed by streams several times along the way, Yue Buqun offered to keep watch for her, allowing her to take a quick rinse, and assured her that he would not peek, so she could rest assured.

However, in order to get on the road in time, Hua Zhenzhen, though tempted, still took the initiative to refuse.

Now I can finally relax.

Yue Buqun sighed, "I really don't understand how the heroines in those stories manage to always smell so good, no matter how busy they are."

Hua Zhenzhen chuckled upon hearing this and was about to chime in when she suddenly remembered something and looked down to sniff her clothes.

As the weather gets warmer, my clothes get wet and dry repeatedly while I'm on the go.

After several times...

She asked worriedly, "I hope my disciple doesn't smell bad?"

"No, it's actually even more fragrant than before."

Yue Buqun exclaimed, "It just goes to show that beautiful women have an advantage; even their sweat smells sweet. I'm avoiding you now because I'm afraid my sweat will bother you."

"Master knows how to make his disciples happy."

Hua Zhenzhen scolded him playfully, but a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

The two entered Luozhen.

Before they had gone far, they came face to face with a man dressed in short, rough clothes, with a rugged appearance.

This man's name was Zhang Dafan, and he was one of the main merchants that Yue Buqun purchased goods from when he went down the mountain.

Upon seeing Yue Buqun and Hua Zhenzhen, he was overjoyed and rushed over, exclaiming in surprise, "Why are you only returning now? Oh no! Your Mount Hua has been occupied by bandits!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun's brows twitched slightly, and he frowned, asking, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either. They were a group of really pretty girls, but they were all cold and looked really tough. My neighbor, Li Erdan, only said a couple of flirtatious things, and they cut out his tongue."

Zhang Dafan said thankfully, "Luckily, they are also human beings and need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. So, after they found out that I was the only shop owner in town who sold rice, flour, and cooking oil, although they were still cold to me, at least they didn't hurt me and even bought a lot of food from me."

After a pause, he sighed, "To be honest, they are really generous. They are so rich and they still take over the territory. I almost thought that you, Master Yue, had sold the Huashan Sect to them because you couldn't keep it running."

It can only be said that Yue Buqun is too approachable; even shop owners dare to joke with him.

However, the information in his words caused both Yue Buqun and Hua Zhenzhen to show serious expressions.

No wonder the journey has been so smooth, with no assassins stopping us...

It seems they were just waiting for the rabbit to run into their trap at Mount Hua!
