The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

Gao Genming said happily.

"They should still be in the south of the city, but they've probably been dealt with by those officials."

Linghu Chong couldn't help but shake his head at the mention of Tian Boguang's corpse.

It's too awful.

Although Tian Boguang was a lecherous thief with a notorious reputation in the martial arts world, he was still a first-rate master. It's truly lamentable that he died like that.

The thought of the torture Tian Boguang suffered before his death, especially the sword Jiang Ning stabbed him with, still sends chills down Linghu Chong's spine.

Linghu Chong glanced at Jiang Ning, who was standing to the side with a slight smile. At that moment, Jiang Ning's smile was gentle, like that of a sunny boy.

It's completely unimaginable that he was the one who dismembered Tian Boguang and then castrated him.

For some reason, Linghu Chong couldn't help but shiver.

Brutal, utterly brutal.

His junior brother seemed to be exceptionally ruthless towards these evil and heretical sects.

"Tian Boguang is dead. Our mission is complete. After we return to the inn, let's rest for a while and then go back to Mount Hua. We should report this to our master as soon as possible so that he can rest assured."

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Linghu Chong spoke to his fellow disciples.

"Okay, senior brother."

Liang Fa, Gao Genming, and other Huashan disciples nodded in agreement.

After returning to the inn, Jiang Ning first went to the backyard to clean his sword.

He had just castrated Tian Boguang with a single sword stroke. Although he had already wiped Tian Boguang's corpse, Jiang Ning still felt that it would be more thorough to clean it thoroughly.

After cleaning his sword, Jiang Ning returned to his room.

To be honest, he wasn't actually very sleepy. Apart from chasing Tian Boguang, he didn't do anything particularly strenuous that night, and even killing Tian Boguang didn't take much effort.

With nothing to do, Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the bed and began practicing the Innate Skill.

Two hours later.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on Jiang Ning's door.

"Junior brother, it's time for us to set off."

Gao Genming's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Okay, senior brother."

Jiang Ning opened her eyes, picked up her luggage, and walked out of the room.

When Jiang Ning came downstairs, he found that Linghu Chong and the other Huashan disciples were already waiting for him.

At this moment, Linghu Chong was drinking with his fellow disciples.

Jiang Ning contributed the most to the operation to hunt down Tian Boguang, and it was Jiang Ning who killed Tian Boguang. They wanted Jiang Ning to rest a little longer, so they called him at the very end.

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning is down. Let's go."

Seeing Jiang Ning come downstairs, Linghu Chong grabbed the wine jar and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and stood up.

Originally, he planned not to drink until he captured Tian Boguang, but he didn't expect the task to be completed so quickly on the first day. So Linghu Chong no longer needed to quit drinking. However, he didn't drink much because he still had to travel.

"By the way, junior brother."

Halfway there, Linghu Chong suddenly remembered something, took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, handed them over, and said.

"This is a reward from Prefect Chen, and it also contains a token of gratitude from him for saving his daughter."

There are thirteen silver notes in this stack, each worth one thousand taels, totaling thirteen thousand taels.

“I wasn’t planning to take it. Killing Tian Boguang was something my Huashan Sect was supposed to do, but the official who delivered the silver insisted on giving it to me.”

Linghu Chong shrugged and said helplessly.

The reason he didn't want it was actually because of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning hadn't used the large sum of silver he received in Xiangyang City, so he figured Jiang Ning probably wouldn't want it.

To Linghu Chong's surprise, Jiang Ning only showed slight astonishment before accepting the stack of silver notes.

However, Jiang Ning didn't say much, and he didn't care. He then wanted to return to Mount Hua with his junior brothers, but then he noticed that Jiang Ning hadn't moved.

"what happened?"

Linghu Chong looked at Jiang Ning with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Ning looked at the silver notes in his hand, thought for a moment, and then looked up at Linghu Chong and said, "Senior Brother, please wait for me outside the city. I will be there shortly."

Linghu Chong and Liang Fa were taken aback. Linghu Chong asked, "Is there something you need?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Some things will take a while."

Linghu Chong shrugged and said, "Alright, in that case, we'll wait for you outside the city."

After giving his instructions, Jiang Ning left the inn and headed towards the nearest money exchange.

By this time, it was already broad daylight, and there were more pedestrians on the street.

Unlike before, there are now some women out and about on the streets.

Not long after Tian Boguang's death, Prefect Chen immediately announced to the whole city that the notorious flower thief Tian Boguang had been executed, so that the people no longer had to worry or live in fear. As a result, people on the streets all had smiles on their faces.

Jiang Ning arrived at the money exchange and had one of the silver notes, representing one thousand taels of silver, exchanged for ten taels and five taels of real silver, as well as some loose silver.

Carrying this large bag of loose silver, Jiang Ning arrived at a street in Hanzhong Prefecture.

There is a family living here.

The homeowners were an elderly couple. At that moment, a coffin was placed in their home. A young woman knelt in front of the mourning hall, her face wet with tears, while the elderly couple wept silently.

This family belongs to Zhang, the scholar whose husband was killed by Tian Boguang.

This family is very poor. I visited Jiangning before. The elderly couple can no longer work, and they only have one daughter-in-law. Their future livelihood is likely to be a problem.

Upon arriving at the house, Jiang Ning went inside, informed them that Tian Boguang was dead, and then took more than three hundred taels of silver from the money exchange he had made at the bank, placed it on the table, told them not to flaunt their wealth, and then left.

Jiang Ning then went to the homes of several other victims. The woman who was despised by her husband's family and divorced by her husband after being violated by Tian Boguang received more than 300 taels of silver. Another woman who had truly gone mad was given to her parents by Jiang Ning, who warned them not to flaunt their wealth and to be careful with money in the future before leaving Hanzhong Prefecture.

Linghu Chong and Liang Fa, along with other Huashan disciples, had been waiting for him outside the city for quite some time.

"Junior brother, why did it take you so long? What were you doing?"

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Linghu Chong asked curiously.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting."

He then revealed that he had taken 1,000 taels of the 13,000 taels of silver he had obtained and divided it equally among the victims.

Jiang Ning initially thought of giving them more silver, but having too much silver would make it difficult to keep the wealth and would attract the covetousness of others. Three hundred taels of silver was enough; giving them too much would only harm them.

As long as they don't spend money extravagantly and arouse suspicion, they can live a life of comfort and security.

Linghu Chong and the others were taken aback.

True kindness is doing good without expecting anything in return.

A disciple of Mount Hua murmured.

Chapter 107: Let me hear how you all do it.

It took a total of five days from going down the mountain to Hanzhong Prefecture, to killing Tian Boguang, and then back. When the Huashan disciples saw Jiang Ning and his group coming up from the foot of the mountain, they were all dumbfounded.

"Senior Brother, didn't you catch Tian Boguang?"

A disciple of Mount Hua asked curiously.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Linghu Chong laughed, hands on his hips: "Caught him? We've already killed him."

"died?"

The disciple looked shocked: "So fast? Senior Brother, what did you all do after you went down the mountain?"

Linghu Chong chuckled and said, "This matter can't be explained in a short time. Let's talk about it when we see Master. Zhuqing, where is Master?"

The Huashan disciple named Zhuqing quickly replied, "Master and Mistress went out to play with Uncle-Master Dingyi and the senior and junior sisters from Hengshan this morning. They just got back and are resting now."

Mount Hua has been known since ancient times as the most precipitous mountain under heaven. Whenever Mount Hua is mentioned, the word "precipitous" is always associated with it. The scenery here is also unique in the world. It is a rare opportunity for Abbess Dingyi and the others to come here, so Yue Buqun took them to enjoy Mount Hua during this time.

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong followed the Huashan disciple to the main hall. Along the way, they encountered other fellow disciples who had gone ahead to inform Yue Buqun. Now, Yue Buqun and Abbess Dingyi were already waiting for them in the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, Yue Buqun sat in the main seat, while Ning Zhongze and Abbess Dingyi sat on the armchairs on either side below. Outside, a group of Huashan and Hengshan disciples stood.

"Master, Mistress, Uncle Dingyi."

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong entered the main hall and bowed to Yue Buqun and the other two.

"Ah."

Yue Buqun nodded, a smile on his face.

"I heard you've already killed Tian Boguang?"

Linghu Chong stepped forward and said, "Yes."

Yue Buqun looked even more satisfied.

Just a few days after Linghu Chong and his companions descended the mountain, they killed Tian Boguang, whom the righteous sects had tried to kill many times without success. In particular, Master Dingyi of the Hengshan Sect heard this with her own ears, which really made him look very proud.

What is efficiency?

Thinking of this, Yue Buqun didn't say anything, but he glanced at Master Dingyi sitting below and saw a look of surprise on her face.

"Cough cough."

Yue Buqun cleared his throat and said to his disciples, "Tian Boguang's lightness skill is unparalleled. Many people have tried to catch him but failed. How did you deal with him?"

"Tell me everything you did after you came down the mountain, how you met Tian Boguang and how you killed him. Tell me in detail so that I can see if there is anything you did wrong, so that I can deal with it better next time I encounter a similar situation."

Upon hearing this, Abbess Dingyi nodded. She also wanted to know how the Huashan disciples in Jiangning had killed this notorious lecher, so that the Hengshan disciples could learn from it.
