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

That evening, there was a knock on the door, and the girl from before came in carrying food.

"Sir, please have a meal."

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow: "I didn't order any food."

The girl said softly, "It was my father who treated you to this meal. Thank you for saving me during the day."

Although the Qingcheng disciple named Xu Dazui only grabbed her wrist and hadn't made any further moves, it was enough to frighten her. She was very grateful to Jiang Ning for helping her, and the old man was also very grateful to Jiang Ning.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded and said nothing more. But as the girl was about to leave, Jiang Ning suddenly asked, "The Green Gang you mentioned during the day, is it a gang or something else?"

The girl, who was about to leave, trembled upon hearing Jiang Ning's words. She slowly turned around to look at Jiang Ning, her expression somewhat conflicted.

Seeing that she looked the same way, Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask, "Does the Green Gang scare everyone here?"

The girl nodded repeatedly.

"ok, I get it."

Jiang Ning didn't make things difficult for her and let her leave.

After eating, Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the bed and began practicing his martial arts.

……

Inside an inn.

A girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old knocked on a door.

"Come in."

A woman's delicate voice rang out from inside the room.

The girl pushed open the door and saw a beautiful woman sitting at the table, holding a thin book in her hand.

The woman had very long eyelashes and bright, expressive eyes; she was very beautiful.

"Sister Yingying."

The girl closed the door, came to the woman's side, and whispered something.

Ren Yingying put down the book in her hand, looked at the girl in front of her, and smiled, "What's wrong, Feiyan?"

Qu Feiyan said, "I saw disciples of the Huashan Sect on the street today."

Ren Yingying asked in surprise, "The Huashan Sect? What are they doing in Sichuan?"

After a moment's hesitation, Ren Yingying asked again, "How many of them are there?"

Qu Feiyan said, "There's only one."

"one?"

Ren Yingying was startled again.

The girl then described Jiang Ning's age and appearance.

"Oh, it's him."

After hearing Qu Feiyan's description, Ren Yingying's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Seeing her appearance, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but feel curious and mustered up her courage to ask, "Does sister know him?"

Ren Yingying glanced at her and said indifferently, "I met her once in Xiangyang City two years ago."

Two years ago? That long ago?

To be honest, Qu Feiyan was very curious about the person who dared to speak up and save Liu Qin in front of so many people in the Liu family.

"Sister, what kind of person is he?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying's eyes flashed with coldness, and she sneered, "An idiot."

Fool?

Qu Feiyan stared blankly at her.

Ren Yingying still sneered and said, "Just a fool who has unrealistic dreams."

Qu Feiyan was even more puzzled.

"A greenhorn, fresh out of school, has an unrealistic dream that he can save everyone."

"Who does he think he is? Does he think he can change the world with just his passion? Does he think he can sweep across the land and bring peace to the world by carrying the banner of justice?"

"Kill us until we're afraid? Kill us until we feel pain? That's arrogant and ignorant."

"How many can he kill? Can he kill one or two, or thousands or tens of thousands?"

“There are far too many people like Hu Anyu in this world, and far too few people as stubborn as him.”

"He wanted to save people, but how many could he save? Could he save one, two, three, or millions? He wanted to uphold justice, but he forgot that this is a living, breathing human world."

Ren Yingying spoke faster and faster, her voice grew colder and colder, and her expression became slightly ferocious.

Qu Feiyan, standing to the side, was trembling with fear.

Ren Yingying is the Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect. She is usually capricious, ruthless, and unpredictable. Many members of the Sun Moon Sect who work under her are terrified of her methods.

After a while.

Ren Yingying regained her composure, as if nothing had happened.

Qu Feiyan cautiously asked, "In that case, should we send someone to kill him?"

Although it's unclear why Ren Yingying dislikes Jiang Ning of the Huashan Sect so much.

"Do not."

Instead, Ren Yingying shook her head and refused.

Ren Yingying sneered, "Killing him is easy, but he disgusts me. Killing him would be too easy for him."

"Isn't he supposed to hate evil? Isn't he supposed to be very righteous? Isn't he supposed to want to save people? I'd like to see what kind of person he is after he joins my religion."

Perhaps thinking of something pleasant, Ren Yingying, who had just had a ferocious expression, suddenly broke into a smile and let out a clear laugh.

Just moments ago, Ren Yingying had a fierce expression, but suddenly she started giggling. The stark contrast between her earlier and later behavior was chilling, and Qu Feiyan quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Ren Yingying.

Should Jiangning be brought into the Sun Moon Sect?

Qu Feiyan felt a chill run down her spine.

Since the Hengshan City incident, Jiangning's reputation has spread far and wide. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that the Huashan Sect has a disciple whose martial arts skills are comparable to those of Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, even though he is young. He even managed to defeat Tian Boguang single-handedly. He is truly a rising star of the righteous path.

This disciple must have been the culmination of Yue Buqun's entire effort as the leader of the Huashan Sect, yet Ren Yingying now intends to have such a righteous disciple join the Sun Moon Sect...

Ren Yingying said to Qu Feiyan, "Go back and tell Uncle Qu that Yang Lianting is having his followers hunt him down. Tell him not to show up for now. I will tell him when it is necessary."

Qu Feiyan nodded, then asked cautiously, "What about Eunuch Liu?"

Liu Zhengfeng?

Ren Yingying pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it for now. Just let him stay with Uncle Qu. This man is obsessed with music and considers Uncle Qu his best friend. We can make use of him and see if he can be of any use to us."

Qu Feiyan didn't say anything more after hearing this.

At this moment, Ren Yingying gently waved to Qu Feiyan and picked up the book in her hand again.

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes."

Qu Feiyan respectfully withdrew, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the room.

The pressure of being with Ren Yingying was too great.

inside the house.

Ren Yingying held the book in her hand, looking at it and muttering to herself.

"I've already got 'Guangling San,' 'The Blood-Stained Manual,' and 'The Freehand Scroll,' all I need are wine and a sword..."

Lost in thought, Ren Yingying unconsciously rested her arm on the table and gently tapped the surface with her index finger.

After a while.

Ren Yingying suddenly remembered that Qu Yang had once recommended someone, but the person Qu Yang recommended was a disciple of a righteous sect. She hadn't paid attention to it before, but now that she thought about it, this person might have some extraordinary qualities that made Qu Yang recommend him.

Thinking of this, Ren Yingying put down the "Guangling San" in her hand and planned to go to Shaanxi in a while to see it for herself before making any further decisions.

What she has to do next is very important, and there can be no accidents.

clap clap!

Ren Yingying gently tapped the table twice, and after a while, a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old pushed open the door and walked in.

The girl was wearing a blue cloth dress with floral patterns, with an embroidered belt around her waist. She wore ornaments on her head, wrists, and neck, which made a jingling sound as she walked.

After the girl entered, she gave Ren Yingying a special greeting without saying a word.

Ren Yingying merely glanced at her and chuckled, "Go tell your sect leader that a disciple of the Huashan Sect has come to Sichuan. His name is Jiang Ning. Tell him to give him a proper welcome."

"This young hero Jiang looks down on his senior sister, probably because he's used to seeing women from the Central Plains. Let him experience the charm of your Miao women."

Chapter 126: Ascending Mount Qingcheng

The word "hospitality" she used was certainly not a compliment.

"Yes."

The girl nodded and wrote down Jiang Ning's name.

"Don't kill him."

Just as the girl was about to leave, she heard those words again.

At this moment, Ren Yingying said something else.

The girl was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, then nodded respectfully and withdrew.

……

the next day.
