I manage female characters in all the heavens.

But after spending some time together, "Yue Lingshan" easily won over the young girl like a succubus, making her secretly vow that none of the three sisters could be missing and that they would stay together for life.

Yue Lingshan patted her head: "You've grown so much taller all of a sudden."

Liu Jing complained, "It's not sudden at all. It's normal for Fei Fei to grow taller every two years at her age."

Qu Feiyan was also a little dissatisfied, and punched "Yue Lingshan" with her little fist: "Bad sister, you haven't contacted us at all for two years, and you haven't replied to a single letter I wrote to you. I thought you had forgotten about us!"

Don't assume she truly forgot, but of course, Yue Lingshan would never admit to such a thing.

She raised the emerald green fishing rod in her hand, gripped the black blood needle hook, and declared emphatically:

"How could I forget you? It's just that I've been too busy and haven't had time to reply to your letters. Look at this fishing rod and hook. When I miss you, I take them out and polish them. They've developed a patina now, which shows how much I miss you!"

Liu Jing touched the fishing rod, which was indeed much smoother and more lustrous than when she had given it away, and believed Miss Yue's nonsense.

In fact, she hadn't actually polished it at all. She had simply used her unparalleled inner energy to temper it and increase its strength, so that it wouldn't be useless for anything, not even fishing. That's why it became so round.

Qu Feiyan found it baffling. She had bent the fishhook herself with the Black Blood Divine Needle, and it was full of deadly poison. Why would you want to fish with this?

Safety first, Sister Yue!

The three women hadn't seen each other for two years and chatted for a long time before a maid came to inform them that the feast was ready, and only then did they finally stop to eat.

Liu Zhengfeng rushed over upon hearing the news and was overjoyed to see "Yue Lingshan".

He was always grateful to the young lady of the Huashan Sect. If she hadn't intervened outside Hengyang City, his entire family would probably have perished at the hands of the Songshan Sect sooner or later.

This is a life-saving grace!

"Nephew Yue has come from afar, I have failed to greet you properly, please forgive me!" Liu Zhengfeng said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting. "Please take a seat, I will certainly treat Nephew Yue well today!"

"It's been two years, and Uncle Liu has become much more polite. Weren't you in such a hurry to get rid of me back then?" The young lady is vindictive; she's held a grudge over such a small matter for several lifetimes.

Liu Zhengfeng was immediately embarrassed. If it weren't for your attitude of trying to abduct Jing'er, why would I have been so eager for you to leave?

Yue Lingshan patted his shoulder with a smile, then swaggered into the hall and sat down in the host's seat.

She waved her hand and said, "Please sit down, everyone. Don't be shy, make yourselves at home."

Liu Zhengfeng and the others were speechless. This really is my home!

She lived a very comfortable life in the days that followed.

Liu Jing excitedly took her everywhere to play, and Qu Feiyan naturally followed along.

The three girls spent their days sightseeing and enjoying themselves, eating their way through the streets and alleys of Hengyang and the surrounding towns. They were having a wonderful time.

Two years after what happened, Liu Jing found a new fishing paradise and happily took her best friend to experience it. However, after two years, her skills had not improved at all, and she still came back empty-handed, which made her so angry that she almost broke her fishing rod.

Miss Yue possessed unparalleled martial arts skills and exceptional technique. Her fishing gear was astonishing, with an extravagant array of equipment that rivaled the world's best. She caught fish with incredible speed, making Liu Jing so envious she cried.

However, all the fish she caught were highly poisonous and inedible. If Qu Feiyan hadn't been there, the two of them would have gone hungry every day they fished.

This time, no foolish villains from Songshan came to disturb our enjoyment or offer to feed the fish, so we had a great time.

Of course, Yue Lingshan didn't forget to take some time to give the two of them some pointers on their martial arts.

Liu Jing and Qu Feiyan both had a good foundation, and under the guidance of this unparalleled master, their martial arts skills improved rapidly.

"That's not how you use a sword."

Standing by the Xiaocui River, holding a willow branch, Yue Lingshan said to Liu Jing, "Your sword thrust was powerful enough, but the angle was too straight, making it easy for your opponent to predict."

"You must learn to adjust your sword stance based on your opponent's reaction the instant you draw your sword."

This kind of guidance was very basic and unskilled for her, posing no challenge whatsoever. However, she didn't feel ashamed of her status as an unparalleled powerhouse by offering such basic guidance; it was just a way to pick up girls, after all.

As she spoke, she flicked the willow branch and lightly tapped Liu Jing's wrist.

Liu Jing felt a numbness in her wrist, and the longsword slipped from her hand.

"Don't grip the sword too tightly. Loosen it when you should, and tighten it when you should. If you keep it tense all the time, you'll be more easily disarmed."

Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up as she watched: "Sister Yue is so amazing! Teach me, teach me!"

Yue Lingshan grinned. Little Feifei is really great; she knows how to provide emotional value.

"Come, I'll teach you a sword technique. I guarantee that once you've mastered it, you'll be able to dominate the battlefield."

She picked up a tree branch and started practicing by the river.

The sword light flowed, and the cold stars twinkled. It was just an ordinary tree branch, but in her hands it seemed to come alive, carrying a lively and elusive charm.

Liu Jing and Qu Feiyan watched intently, memorizing every single movement.

Besides teaching them martial arts, "Yue Lingshan" also occasionally took them on "chivalrous acts".

The mountain bandits, river pirates, and evil gangs outside Hengyang City all suffered terrible misfortune.

She led Liu Jing and Qu Feiyan through the chaos, directly confronting any evil forces they encountered, giving the two women real-world practice.

On this day, inside Black Wind Village.

Yue Lingshan sat on a large tree, legs crossed, eating fruit she had plundered from the bandits' lair, and shouted to Liu Jing and Qu Feiyan below, who were engaged in a fierce battle with the bandits:

"If you can't beat them, just shout 'Sailor Moon, transform!' and the moon will save you."

Liu Jing gritted her teeth. It was too shameful. She didn't want to!

She forced back two bandits in front of her with one sword, and then stabbed a bandit who attacked from behind in the throat with a backhand.

Qu Feiyan, like a nimble swallow, darted among the bandits, each swing of her short sword sending up a spray of blood.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two men had wiped out all the bandits in the mountain stronghold.

Although Liu Jing and the other woman were exhausted and their bodies ached, their eyes shone with light.

This time they didn't shout any embarrassing lines, a huge improvement! Looks like they won't need to say them anymore. Victory!

Liu Jing and Qu Feiyan smiled at each other, their eyes filled with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the future.

And so, almost a month passed.

While Yue Lingshan was already traveling and leisurely cultivating Liu Jing and Qu Feiyan to the level of first-class masters, Yue Buqun finally led his people to Hengshan Sect.

He arrived at Hengshan Sect in a grand procession with Linghu Chong, Lu Dayou, and other Huashan disciples. Upon receiving the news, Master Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng returned to the sect and personally led the crowd to welcome them outside the gate.

Hengshan Faction, Council Hall.

Yue Buqun put it bluntly, proposing the unification of the Five Sacred Mountains factions.

Mr. Mo remained silent for a long time, about to politely decline, when he saw Yue Buqun smile slightly and clap his hands.

Linghu Chong, Lu Dayou, and thirteen other disciples of Mount Hua entered the council hall one by one and stood in front of Master Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng.

Then, the thirteen people simultaneously circulated their internal energy, actively releasing their aura and demonstrating their internal energy cultivation!

Mr. Mo's expression changed drastically, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a crash, shattering into pieces.

He realized an unimaginable and terrifying fact—each of these thirteen people possessed strength no less than his and Liu Zhengfeng's!

"This...how is this possible?!" Mr. Mo's voice trembled.

Is this the Huashan Sect? Isn't this going a bit too far?!

Liu Zhengfeng was also horrified. He looked at the young Huashan disciples in front of him, then at Yue Buqun, and then thought of Yue Lingshan, who was also highly skilled in martial arts. He was speechless for a long time.

Are all the people of Huashan monsters?

Yue Buqun maintained his nonchalant smile: "Sect Leader Mo, Junior Brother Liu, what do you think now? Is merging the Five Mountains Alliance feasible?"

If Yue Buqun's disciples are already this strong, then how unparalleled must he be as his master?

Mr. Mo fell silent again.

After a long while, he slowly stood up, walked to Yue Buqun, and said respectfully, "The Hengshan Sect is willing to serve Sect Leader Yue as our master!"

Liu Zhengfeng also bowed and said, "I am willing to obey Sect Leader Yue's orders!"

Chapter 154: Are the Five Sacred Mountains really so closely connected?

Liu Zhengfeng was much more decisive than Mo Da. After all, Mo Da was the leader of the Hengshan Sect, not him. If the leader agreed, what was there for him to object to?

Secondly, Yue Lingshan had saved his entire family's lives, and he felt he had to repay her great kindness.

Yue Buqun quickly stepped forward to help the two up: "Please rise quickly, both of you! Although I am the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect after the merger, the Hengshan Sect will always be an indispensable part of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. I will never mistreat the brothers and sisters of the Hengshan Sect!"

Just then, a clear voice came from behind: "Dad, is it done?"

Yue Buqun turned around, a smile immediately spreading across his face: "Shan'er, what are you doing here?!"

A figure in emerald green entered the council hall; it was Yue Lingshan, who had just arrived at the Hengshan Sect from Hengyang City.

Liu Jing and Qu Feiyan also came with her.

As soon as Liu Jing entered the door, she bowed and greeted her father, Uncle Yue, and Uncle Mo.

Qu Feiyan didn't know how to address anyone, so she kept her head down and remained silent.

Yue Lingshan walked to Yue Buqun's side, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the council hall before landing on Master Mo: "Master Mo, I've heard so much about you."

Looking at the incredibly young girl in front of him, Mr. Mo felt a surge of indescribable emotion.

Although he didn't know that "Yue Lingshan" was Qu Wuyi, whose martial arts skills were earth-shattering.

But I've already heard from Liu Zhengfeng that this young lady from Mount Hua has extremely high martial arts skills. She single-handedly wiped out an elite team from the Songshan Sect outside Hengyang City and saved Liu Zhengfeng's family. Her strength is even above his.

Yue Buqun is truly a monster; his disciples and daughter are all so outstanding, and his educational abilities are simply astonishing.

This faction is a good match. From now on, everyone will receive the teachings of Master Yue, and their martial arts skills will surely improve by leaps and bounds!

He dared not be negligent and quickly clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Miss Yue, you are too kind. I have long admired your reputation, and seeing you today, I can confirm that you are indeed a woman of outstanding talent and beauty, worthy of being the daughter of Sect Leader Yue!"

Yue Lingshan smiled and nodded, then said to Yue Buqun, "Father, I have something to discuss with you."

Yue Buqun waved his hand and said, "What's there to discuss? Shan'er, just give the order, and I'll do everything in my power to get it done for you!"

Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng were both taken aback. So Yue Buqun was this kind of doting father?

"I want Liu Jing and Fei Fei to become your disciples." She turned to look at Liu Jing and Qu Fei Yan.

"Their martial arts skills are quite good. I've been training them for a month, and they've already reached a first-class level. You'll need many helpers when you manage the Five Mountains Sword Sect in the future, and they will be a great asset."

Yue Buqun's status as a disciple is extremely valuable, as it means that the succession to the Five Mountains Sword Sect will be determined by his disciples, and the next leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect will be chosen from among them.

Allowing Liu Jing to become Yue Buqun's disciple and a formal disciple of Huashan was also a way for "Yue Lingshan" to show her sincerity and care for Hengshan Sect.
