The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

The doctor had told her before that Jiang Ning's injuries were very serious and he needed to rest for a long time, at least half a year. He should try not to move around during this period, otherwise not only would his recovery be slow, but his injuries might relapse.

The woman was also worried that Jiang Ning would be found by those who were against him after he left here before his injury healed.

"My injury has almost healed."

Jiang Ning smiled.

Although he was seriously injured and dying before, he has recovered a lot after two months of rest.

The doctor said that he needed to rest for at least half a year because he didn't know that he had internal strength. Xiantian Gong itself has a strong healing effect. After two months of rest and the automatic operation of Xiantian Gong, his body has almost healed itself, and even the wounds on his body have healed.

Speaking of Xiantian Gong, Jiang Ning was able to hold on for so long and walk here because the Xiantian Gong was running on its own in his body and keeping him alive, otherwise he would have died before he even got here.

Of course, the Zhenwu Sword played an indispensable role.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was determined to leave, the woman couldn't stop him.

Jiang Ning then asked: "What are your plans?"

The woman was stunned, and then felt lost.

She has nothing now except her son, and her parents no longer want her.

Jiang Ning looked at her, then at the child next to the woman, and suddenly said, "Your son is weak and it will be harder for him to grow up than an ordinary person. I can try to find some herbs and a skilled doctor to treat him. Maybe your son can grow up safely."

The woman's expression changed slightly when she heard this, but she did not answer immediately. She looked at her son beside her, and after a while suddenly knelt down towards Jiang Ning.

"I have a request. Can you please accept my son as your disciple?"

Jiang Ning was stunned.

The woman said, "My son has been weak since he was young. The doctor said he would die young. He is lucky to be alive now. Now it is difficult for me to raise him alone. I don't ask for anything, but I only hope that you can accept him as your disciple. It will be better than keeping him alive by my side."

She knew that Jiang Ning was definitely not an ordinary person, but must be an important figure. It was impossible for her son to survive and grow up in this small village. Even if he grew up, he would be plagued by illness. Now might be her son's chance to change his fate.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything, lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Alright."

The woman was very happy.

Jiang Ning looked at the child. "Would you like to be my disciple?"

The child tilted his head, with a look of ignorant curiosity in his eyes.

After a moment, he babbled.

"Willing...willing...to."

Jiang Ning nodded and looked at the woman: "What is his full name?"

The woman's eyes were red when she heard this: "He doesn't have a real name yet. My husband originally thought that a humble name would be easier to raise, so he gave him a nickname and will give him a real name when he grows up, but..."

Jiang Ning was silent for a while, and then spoke after the woman's emotions calmed down.

"In that case, how about I give him a name?"

The woman was surprised to hear this and nodded repeatedly.

"If my son is given a name by my benefactor, it will be a blessing that he has cultivated for three lifetimes."

Jiang Ning said nothing when he heard this and turned to look at the child.

"You have been weak and sickly since childhood. It is difficult for you to move and your speech is unclear. So I named you Lie."

"If you move slowly, then walk slowly and keep your feet on the ground. If you have difficulty speaking, then don't speak. Let your actions show your determination."

The child didn't react when he heard this, he just tilted his head and looked at Jiang Ning.

Seeing this, the woman became anxious and quickly asked her son to say thank you to the master.

She had never been to school and was illiterate, but she knew that Jiang Ning's words reflected his expectations for his son.

The child looked at her in confusion, not knowing why his mother acted like that, but still spoke obediently.

"Thank...thank...Master."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"You have another senior brother named Liu Zhao, and his name was also given by the master. You two have the same surname, Liu. Perhaps this is your fate."

Jiang Ning said.

"I gave you these two names not because I hope you will have great success in the future, but because I hope you can be upright and do good deeds to save people when you grow up."

“As a teacher, I hope that your virtues will be as bright as the sun, and your virtues will be clear and your actions will be vigorous.”

Chapter 444: Departure to Jiading (Additional Chapter 8, 26/)

"I would like to thank you on behalf of my son Liu Lie."

The woman kowtowed to Jiang Ning repeatedly to express her gratitude, and then she said to the child, "My son, please kneel down and thank the master."

The child, that is, Liu Lie, was still standing there stupidly. The woman pulled Liu Lie down and made him kneel down and kowtow three times to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning did not stop him, as it was Liu Lie's turn to kowtow.

After Liu's mother pulled Liu Lie to kowtow, Jiang Ning said, "Get up."

After Liu's mother helped her son up, Jiang Ning said to Liu Lie, "Since you have accepted me as your master, I will tell you where you learned from."

"My name is Jiang Ning. Jiang means river and Ning means peace. I am a disciple of Huashan Sect in Shaanxi. Your master is Yue Buqun, the current head of Huashan Sect. When you follow me back to Huashan, you must get your master's consent before you can join our Huashan Sect."

Liu Lie, a two-year-old child, naturally couldn't understand what Jiang Ning said. He was speaking to Liu's mother.

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, a trace of sadness flashed through Liu's mother's heart.

Shaanxi...

She was not familiar with geography, but she could feel that Shaanxi sounded very far away from her, which in that era often meant that she and her son would never have the chance to see each other again.

However, after hearing Jiang Ning's next words, Liu's mother became nervous again.

She knew Jiang Ning was no ordinary man, so the Huashan Sect must be a very powerful force, beyond her imagination. As the leader of the sect, Yue Buqun was unlikely to agree to let her son, a country boy, join the Huashan Sect.

As soon as Jiang Ning saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking, and then said, "Don't worry, my master is a gentleman and will not refuse Liu Lie to enter Huashan."

Jiang Ning knew his position in Yue Buqun's heart. As long as he didn't ask for the sun, moon and stars in the sky, Yue Buqun would agree to any request he made. If only one of them could survive, Yue Buqun would definitely choose to die and let Jiang Ning live.

This is Jiang Ning's status in Yue Buqun's eyes. Not to mention accepting her as just a small disciple, if Yue Buqun knew that Liu's mother saved Jiang Ning's life, he would probably want to worship her.

After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Liu's mother finally felt relieved.

But with it comes sadness.

That’s good too. At least Lie’er can survive and grow up safely with his benefactor. Maybe he can become a chivalrous man like his benefactor in the future.

Liu's mother thought.

Just as she was feeling sad, Jiang Ning suddenly asked, "What are your plans after your son returns to Huashan with me?"

"I?"

Liu's mother was stunned, then confused.

She only has Liu Lie to worry about now. Now that Liu Lie is gone, she really doesn't know what to do in the future.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Ning said, "Why don't you come with me to Shaanxi? Liu Lie is still young, and he will need someone to take care of him even if he goes to Huashan with me. You are his biological mother, so it would be best if you could take care of him yourself."

Liu's mother was happy.

"My benefactor, can I go to Shaanxi to accompany my son?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Mother Liu was both surprised and delighted. She had thought that Jiang Ning's agreement to accept her son as his apprentice was already a way of repaying her for saving her life, and she did not want to ask for anything else for fear of being accused of repaying a favor. But Jiang Ning's words made her no longer feel sad, and she was about to kneel down to thank Jiang Ning, but was stopped by Jiang Ning.

"No need to thank me, please stand up."

After the woman stood up, Jiang Ning asked, "Is there anything you need to pack at home? If there is anything you need to pack, you can leave two days later."

Mother Liu quickly shook her head: "No, no, I only have some clothes, and we can leave today."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Okay, go pack now and we'll leave later."

It was already October and he couldn't delay any longer.

December is the succession ceremony for Master Qingzhu, the head of the Emei Sect. He is still in Shandong, a very long distance away from Sichuan. If he doesn't set off now, he will miss it.

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Liu's mother nodded quickly, then went into the house to pack up, and soon came out with a package.

That was all she had.

"Gone."

Jiang Ning asked.

Mother Liu shook her head.

"Gone."

Now all that's left is this house, there's nothing else to take.

Jiang Ning nodded, and then took Liu's mother away from the village.

Their departure did not attract the attention of the villagers, and it was only a few days later that they discovered that the house was empty.

……

"I will go to Mount Emei in Sichuan later. My master and his people are in Sichuan. When we get to Shaanxi, I will take you and Liu Lie back to Mount Hua and place you in a village at the foot of Mount Hua. I will talk to you about Liu Lie after I return from Sichuan with my master."

Jiang Ning took the mother and son to the nearest place where gold and silver were buried to take out some gold and silver, and then went to the nearest town and hired a carriage to continue their journey.

Now Jiang Ning is telling Liu's mother about his arrangements.

Liu's mother nodded: "Everything is up to the benefactor's arrangement."

After making arrangements for Liu Lie and his mother, Jiang Ning went to the driving seat and drove the car himself.

After all, Liu's mother was a woman, and it was inconvenient for him, a man, to ride in the same carriage with Liu's mother. So along the way, he and Liu's mother treated each other as brother and sister.

Da da da.
