Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

He was in a bad mood, a very bad mood.

Recalling the scene in the cave on Siguo Cliff that day, I still feel extremely remorseful.

He was too hasty that day, which is why he scared Linghu Chong away and even caused him to leave the Huashan Sect.

I couldn't resist!

Knowing Linghu Chong well, Yue Buqun could only use the excuse that Linghu Chong had committed a serious mistake and was expelled from the sect to maintain his reputation as the head of the Huashan Sect.

As expected, Linghu Chong did not refute this after leaving the Huashan Sect, which relieved Linghu Chong.

But in the past two weeks, the atmosphere within the Huashan Sect has changed, becoming extremely somber. The disciples who used to treat him with great respect have become much colder towards him. Even his daughter, Yue Lingshan, has argued with him several times, and his wife, in a fit of pique, refuses to speak to him, and they even sleep in separate rooms at night.

This relieved him; otherwise, he really wouldn't have known how to explain it.

Just as Yue Buqun was getting agitated, he heard a commotion coming from the direction of the mountain gate.

"Junior brother? Junior sister? Is it really you two?"

"Junior Brother! Junior Brother is back!"

"Junior Brother is back on the mountain!"

Ling Chi's return caused a stir throughout Mount Hua, but Yue Buqun was taken aback.

Why did Ling Chi return at this time? Does he already know about Linghu Chong's situation?

Feeling extremely uneasy, Yue Buqun had no heart to deal with matters.

……

Upon learning of Ling Chi's return to the mountain, Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan excitedly came out to greet him.

"Junior Brother..." Seeing that familiar figure, Yue Lingshan's eyes glistened with tears. She wanted to rush over and hug him, to cry her heart out. But in front of so many people, she ultimately lacked the courage.

Seeing the petite figure beside Ling Chi, she quickly wiped her eyes and smiled, "Shuang'er, you're back!"

Shuang'er giggled, "Sister Lingshan, I'm back."

Looking at Yue Lingshan's face, Shuang'er said softly, "Sister Lingshan, you've lost weight."

“Because…” Yue Lingshan couldn’t hold back this time. She hugged Shuang’er tightly and, taking advantage of her height, buried her face behind Shuang’er’s shoulder to hide her tears: “I miss Shuang’er so much.”

Sensing the hint of sorrow in Yue Lingshan's eyes, Shuang'er hugged her tightly and patted her back gently: "Yes, Shuang'er misses Sister Lingshan too."

"Chi'er." Ning Zhongze's eyes shone with undisguised joy. She had been so heartbroken and angry lately. Yue Buqun had just emerged from seclusion and then expelled Linghu Chong from the sect—it was utterly inexplicable and irrational.

When asked why, he gave vague answers and refused to give a direct response. This made Ning Zhongze even more suspicious of the hidden story. However, Linghu Chong left resolutely, and there was no way to contact him or find out what exactly happened that day.

Thinking about the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance meeting on Mount Song on the fifteenth of March next year, Ning Zhongze was extremely anxious and hadn't slept well these past few days. But with Ling Chi's return today, she found that all her anxiety had disappeared.

So, Chi'er has grown into the pillar of the Huashan Sect!

Ning Zhongze was very pleased, but when she turned her gaze and saw the white-haired, white-bearded old man in a blue robe behind Ling Chi, she was struck dumb and stood there stunned.

Seeing Ning Zhongze's sudden change, Ling Chi turned his head and immediately understood the reason: "Master's wife, you must have recognized him as well. This is my Grand Uncle Feng Qingyang from the Huashan Sect."

Their eyes met, and Ning Zhongze lowered her eyelids, forcing a smile as she said, "Ning Zhongze greets Uncle Feng."

Feng Qingyang extended his hand and waved it: "No need for formalities."

The surrounding disciples were astonished to see their master's wife paying respects to Feng Qingyang: When did our Huashan Sect have a grandmaster uncle?

Just as the disciples were wondering, Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou, and Cong Buqi rushed to Feng Qingyang, knelt down and bowed their heads, their voices choked with emotion: "Disciples of the Sword Sect... pay respects to Uncle-Master Feng!" As they spoke, tears streamed down their faces.

Upon hearing the words "disciple of the Sword Sect," Feng Qingyang was also somewhat excited, and with trembling hands he made a gesture of support: "Alright, alright, get up!"

After the three of them wiped away their tears and got up, Feng Qingyang took a deep breath and sighed, "Now that the Huashan Sect no longer distinguishes between sword qi, you must never call yourselves disciples of the Sword Sect again."

"...As you command, Uncle-Master." Despite saying this, the three of them felt a sense of loss.

The Huashan Sword Sect no longer exists.

"Greetings, Grandmaster Feng!"

Seeing that their master's wife and three senior uncles had confirmed Feng Qingyang's identity, all the disciples immediately knelt down to pay their respects.

"Alright, all of you, get up!" Looking at the Huashan Sect disciples before him, Feng Qingyang felt greatly gratified.

Although Yue Buqun has become neither male nor female, it is undeniable that he has contributed greatly to the growth of the Huashan Sect over the years. Compared to him, Feng Qingyang felt he was too cowardly.

In an instant, his anger towards Yue Buqun dissipated considerably.

"I wonder why Uncle Feng is with Chi'er?" Ning Zhongze asked.

"Actually..." Seeing that Feng Qingyang didn't speak, Ling Chi immediately gave a brief account of what had happened in the past few months. Without giving anyone a chance to interrupt, Ling Chi said, "When we learned that our eldest brother had been expelled from the sect by our master, we were shocked and immediately returned to Mount Hua to ask our master for clarification."

At this point, Ling Chi looked at Ning Zhongze and asked, "Master's wife, why was our eldest brother suddenly expelled from the sect? What are the hidden reasons behind this?"

Ning Zhongze shook her head upon hearing this: "These were all decisions made by your master, and no one knows the hidden reasons behind them."

"Master's wife?" Ling Chi was taken aback by the resentment in Ning Zhongze's words.

“Your master is in the main hall, go and ask him!” After saying that, Ning Zhongze turned to look at Feng Qingyang, pursed her lips, and said, “Uncle Feng, I have some things I would like to say to you alone. Please come with me.”

Feng Qingyang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After dismissing the disciples, Ning Zhongze and Feng Qingyang left.

"Junior brother, we'll go with you to see Master." Six Monkeys and the other senior brothers surrounded him, wanting to go with him to find Master and demand an explanation.

They had been living a very stifling life lately. Their eldest brother left without saying goodbye, and their master immediately emerged from seclusion, expelling him from the sect with a very vague reason, and forbidding them from asking any further questions.

I feel so frustrated! I'm so incredibly frustrated!

Now everything is fine, my junior brother is back.

With their junior brother's support, they regained the courage to face their master.

“Okay.” Ling Chi also felt that it would be safer to go with someone. However, some of his attention was drawn away by Feng Qingyang and Ning Zhongze.

What does Master's wife want to say to Grandmaster Feng? What secrets do they share?

He felt that there were too many secrets within the Huashan Sect, and his curiosity was starting to get the better of him.

……

In the main hall of the Huashan Sect, Ling Chi and his entourage entered and saw a person who seemed familiar, but upon closer inspection, was somewhat different.

Yue Buqun's skin was more delicate and fair than before, and he looked less refined and more delicate. If you weren't very familiar with him, you wouldn't be able to tell the subtle changes.

The scene in the cave that day flashed through Ling Chi's mind, and goosebumps twitched.

The Huashan Sect must not be handed over to him!

"Master." Ling Chi clasped his hands in greeting. "Disciple Ling Chi greets Master."

Chapter Forty-Seven: Die!

Yue Buqun sighed. From Ling Chi's attitude towards him after entering the room, he knew that the visitor was not friendly.

Looking back on the two mistakes I made, it's only natural that I received this treatment.

Although he understood in his heart, he really couldn't control himself at the time.

At that time, he was like a wild beast controlled by desire. Although he still had reason, he was bound to make mistakes.

He lost to something called 'instinct,' an 'instinct' that didn't belong to him.

"It's good that you're back."

Facing Ling Chi, he had no intention of struggling. Because he was facing Ling Chi.

"Master, what mistake did Senior Brother make?" With so many people standing behind him, Ling Chi was very confident: "Why should he be expelled from the Huashan Sect?"

Yue Buqun looked at him and said calmly, "You should be able to guess the reason."

"..." A chill ran down Ling Chi's spine: "Could it be that Senior Brother was really...?"

No wonder Linghu Chong fled the Huashan Sect without looking back. He only got touched twice before running outside to find some peace and quiet, while Linghu Chong was... poor senior brother.

“Master, you have gone mad from practicing your skills.” Ling Chi took a deep breath: “I beg you to temporarily entrust the affairs of the sect to your wife and then rescind your order to expel our eldest brother from the sect.”

Yue Buqun's face darkened: "Are you trying to force your master to abdicate and give way to a more worthy successor?"

"This disciple dares not," Ling Chi said. "This disciple simply does not wish for the Huashan Sect, which has been so painstakingly revived, to be destroyed because Master has gone mad with internal energy."

"What a fine example of qi deviation." Yue Buqun sneered, "It's not impossible for me to step down, as long as you can defeat the sword in my hand, I'll let you succeed as the sect leader."

"Father!" Yue Lingshan, who had been silent all along, cried out, "You've really gone mad with your cultivation. You weren't like this before."

"Haha, so what if I've gone mad from practicing qi cultivation?" Yue Buqun laughed loudly, "To expect me to relinquish the position of sect leader is wishful thinking!"

Seeing their master's appearance, the disciples seemed to believe their junior brothers and sisters' words.

Master has indeed gone mad with demonic possession.

They had never seen their master so eccentric before.

“In that case…” Ling Chi gripped the sword in his hand tightly: “This disciple will then learn Master’s Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.”

"Hahaha! I've been in seclusion for months, and I've long wanted to test the power of the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique." Yue Buqun stood up. "Ling Chi, you are a prodigy with superb martial arts. Before I went into seclusion, I knew I was no match for you, but now, who will win and who will lose? That remains to be seen!"

Ling Chi turned around: "Let's go to the training ground."

……

At the martial arts training ground, disciples from Mount Hua gathered in droves, and in no time, the training ground was completely surrounded.

Ling Chi and Yue Buqun stood in the center of the arena, swords in hand.

The two locked eyes, their auras gradually rising.

A snowflake drifted down from the sky, and gradually, more and more snowflakes fell, adding a touch of romance to the competition.

Yue Lingshan stood nervously on the sidelines, fearing that either of the two men would get hurt.

Shuang'er comforted her softly from the side, while also wondering: Where did Master's wife and Uncle Feng go?

Despite the commotion, the two have not shown up and their whereabouts are unknown.

In the center of the arena, seeing Ling Chi's momentum still rising while his own was waning, Yue Buqun could no longer remain calm.

Clang——

With his sword drawn, Yue Buqun used extremely strange movement techniques and even more bizarre sword moves to stab towards Ling Chi.
