A player on Mount Hua starts by obtaining the Prism color entry.

"So it turns out to be the lewd monk Wuhua, who is skilled in the art of male homosexuality and has a way with everyone from ninety-year-old women to three-year-old children. My apologies for not being discerning. Instead of hiding behind the scenes and scheming, you have taken the initiative to come out. This is truly unexpected."

Lu Ming was dismissive of the so-called "Sword Demon of Mount Hua." He didn't see it as a good thing; it was merely a sarcastic jab at his ruthless methods and penchant for tearing people in two. It indirectly tarnished the reputation of the Mount Hua Sect, implying that they were incompetent in teaching their disciples and unworthy of being called a prestigious and righteous sect.

In the martial arts world, strength reigns supreme. People dare to frame the weak, but dare not slander the strong. If you don't believe me, go and fabricate a story about that old Taoist priest on Mount Wudang. He doesn't even need to lift a finger; the Great Wei court will immediately arrest the slanderer and send him to Mount Wudang to plead guilty.

Master Zhang was not only the number one martial artist, but also a pillar of the nation; otherwise, the Great Wei would have been completely swallowed up long ago.

Even though the monk Wuhua liked to disguise himself with elegance and gentleness, he showed a slight anger at this moment. He admitted that he was not pure of heart and went to brothels, but he didn't eat just any trash.

"It seems you have a deep misunderstanding of me. These are just rumors, and gossip stops with the wise. Just as I never believed that you, Benefactor Lu, were a cruel, bloodthirsty person who coveted your friends' wealth."

Anyone can be sarcastic and sarcastic.

Lu Ming didn't have much to say about this mixed-race person of Japanese descent. He figured if he kept a low profile and lived a quiet life, it would be fine. But if he insisted on causing trouble, then he shouldn't blame Lu Ming for looking down on him—it was discrimination against a simple life, so what?

"You're wrong. Old Xiang told me this. The renowned Xiang Shuai wouldn't speak carelessly. If you don't believe me, go find him. Now get lost. What right do you, a bald monk with impure desires, have to bark and howl in front of me?"

Hostility, and undisguised discrimination.

Monk Wuhua silently chanted a Buddhist mantra to suppress his anger: "I have heard that Benefactor Lu's medical skills are divine. This humble monk has come here to ask Benefactor Lu to treat my Uncle Xuancheng."

"I don't have time. Ask again and I'll kill you!"

Lu Ming's domineering and aggressive manner caught Yao Yue's attention. She couldn't understand why he would harbor such hostility towards a monk. In terms of looks, Wu Hua couldn't compare to Lu Ming; could there be some past conflict between the two?

The man beside the monk Wuhua chuckled, his tone laced with mockery, "Pfft! Master, you really wouldn't even spare an eighty-year-old woman?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was sent flying backward, his chest caved in, clearly having been killed by the Mighty Vajra Palm.

"Amitabha Buddha, the attackers who attacked you two were Wei Wuyuan of the Twelve Constellations, who also mobilized the Green Robe Pavilion. This humble monk has come only to ask Benefactor Lu to save your lives. Since it is inconvenient for Benefactor Lu, this humble monk will not insist. Farewell."

As expected of the sage monk, it's hard to imagine that he is a mastermind plotting to overthrow the entire martial arts world and even the imperial court, just by looking at his kind and benevolent appearance.

His plea for help was a ruse; his real intention was to seize the opportunity to capture Lu Ming and Yao Yue. Now that Yao Yue's poison has been neutralized and her strength restored, he no longer had a guarantee of victory, and thus sold Wei Wuyuan out cleanly.

The surviving men in black exchanged a glance and subtly shifted their feet, preparing to flee.

But the next moment they were horrified to find that they couldn't move at all, and were instead pulled over by a strange force.

Yaoyue, expressionless, grabbed one of the men in black: "Who's behind that?"

"Pah, you filthy woman, go to hell!"

With a crack, the top of his head shattered instantly.

Before Yaoyue could make another move, the other men in black had already bitten their teeth and swallowed the poison, dying instantly and giving them no chance to reveal their secret.

Such fearless assassins cannot be trained by ordinary forces.

There was another one in the woods, but the other party showed no hostility. She gave Lu Ming a deep look, then turned and left.

After killing someone, they could still sit down and drink soup and eat grilled fish as if nothing had happened; the two of them must have big hearts.

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Yaoyue resumed her aloof and unapproachable demeanor, coldly glancing at Lu Ming: "The monk Wuhua is quite famous in the Northern Shaolin Temple, and his strength is not weak either. What do you plan to do next?"

Lu Ming packed his things, slung his bag over his shoulder, and exchanged a glance with her: "Back to Mount Hua. I said I'd go back and marry my senior sister. I will never let down any woman who loves me in this life. They all deserve to be treated well and to live a happy and fulfilling life."

"I will go into seclusion for a while after I return. If you have time, bring people to Mount Hua to treat patients. If you don't have time, I can't go to the Yihua Palace either, for fear that you will beat me to death."

After saying that, he shrugged and winked with a mocking look.

It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, because once it was mentioned, Yaoyue felt her blood pressure rise again. Her pretty face was covered in frost, and she possessed an icy and charming aura. Two completely different qualities, coldness and charm, appeared on her, creating an unusually captivating presence.

"Hmph, I'll take men to Mount Hua. If I can't cure her, watch out for your dog's life, you villain!"

Before turning to leave, she paused: "You know how to refine the Great Rejuvenation Pill without side effects?"

"Yes, you can prepare the materials yourself. If you don't have the materials, you can offer yourself to me. I'm never stingy with my wife."

Yaoyue sneered and ignored him. She had realized that this person was shameless and persistent. Apart from being kind-hearted, he was wicked in every other way. "Don't die before I see you. The Central Plains is not peaceful. Be careful and stay on Mount Hua if you have nothing to do."

She wouldn't have said that if she didn't still have some feelings for him.

The person left, but the Little Rejuvenating Pill was taken with them; they were reluctant to let it go. They said they didn't want it, but their bodies betrayed them.

Ah, women!

A few days later, at Mount Hua, at the Suoyoubuwei Pavilion.

Yue Lingshan was furiously punching her junior brother with her little fists, her bright eyes filled with tears: "I'll beat you to death, you heartless man! I'll beat you to death, you stinky junior brother! Waaah, Mother, look at him!"

Lu Ming pretended to be beaten and grimaced, occasionally making a face at her behind his master and mistress's back.

Yue Lingshan was both amused and annoyed by the teasing, and her dissatisfaction gradually subsided. Finally, she stood with her hands on her hips, huffing and puffing, not saying a word, her beautiful eyes fixed on her junior brother.

Ning Zhongze was somewhat amused and exasperated. This matter had been mentioned in a previous letter, written by Li Tanhua himself, which explained the whole story in detail, all in order to capture the Plum Blossom Bandit.

As for marriage, it should be a matter of mutual consent. You can't agree to a martial arts contest to choose a husband and then renege on the agreement. What would happen to the young woman's reputation? What if she tried to kill herself?

Yue Buqun wanted to reprimand them, but when he saw the silver notes, Xiao Huan Dan, Jie Du Dan, Qing Xin Wan and other medicines he had brought, he didn't know how to say the words.

Old Yue is single-mindedly focused on restoring Mount Hua, and he is very tolerant of his disciples as long as they don't cross his bottom line. Moreover, with the end of the year approaching, many wealthy merchants are sending their children to Mount Hua to become disciples and learn martial arts. In addition to the apprenticeship gifts, they also promise to pay a fee, all of which are signs of restoring Mount Hua.

He couldn't very well reprimand such a disciple: "You've done some pretty big things outside!"

Lu Ming clasped his hands and looked down at the floor: "Disciple will follow Master's teachings, punish evil and promote good, and spread the wonders of Huashan martial arts. Disciple's achievements are also due to Master's good teaching. Back then, my family was destroyed and my village was ruined. If it weren't for Master and Mistress's rescue, I would have been a skeleton long ago."

"This time, I have failed my senior sister. I humbly request that my master betroth her to me. I ask my senior sister to supervise me so that I may cultivate my character and study martial arts diligently in the future."

Yue Lingshan was still a young girl at heart; her anger came and went quickly. Now, upon hearing about the marriage proposal, she clutched the hem of her dress with her small hands, her pretty face showing a mixture of anger and joy. She glanced at her parents, then quickly lowered her head again.

Seeing his daughter like this, Yue Buqun knew perfectly well that she had already given her all the consent she wanted.

He stroked his beard silently, taking a sip of tea before speaking, waiting for the oppressive atmosphere to build up before saying, "Have your master's wife choose a day for this matter. Go back and reflect on your actions. Also, now that you've married Li Tanhua's cousin, don't betray her. The Huashan Sect acts with integrity and uprightness; you must never do anything against morality, or I will expel you from the sect!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will remember it forever."

"Father!"
