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

Yue Buqun took a breath of cold air.

Chapter 17: The past is gone with the wind (26/)

Chapter 458: The past is gone with the wind (17/26)

"so much?"

Yue Buqun was shocked.

There weren't so many of them when they were fighting bandits in Shaanxi two years ago. These mountain strongholds in Shaanxi are extremely poor.

Jiang Ning then talked about the bandits he had suppressed in Jiangnan before, and how they had hidden hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Yue Buqun took another breath when he heard this.

"Let's talk about these silver coins later."

Yue Buqun had no idea how to arrange the money. The Huashan Sect's current money was enough for expenses and relief to the people, so he planned not to touch it for the time being.

Anyway, the silver is buried underground and we can get it anytime, there is no need to rush.

"Ning'er, you..."

Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning with a complicated expression.

Jiang Ning was able to find so much silver from those mountain strongholds. It was obviously not as simple as clearing out one or two mountain strongholds. It was obvious that he cleared them one by one.

But he didn't say anything.

With Jiang Ning's martial arts, it is easy to suppress the bandits, but he needs to remind the other side to be careful of those conspiracies, tricks, poisoning and ambushes and other extraordinary means.

Yue Buqun discussed some things with Jiang Ning, mostly about things within the sect, and Jiang Ning didn't leave until it was very late.

"call."

Yue Buqun breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now he checked Jiang Ning's body before leaving.

He was shocked when he heard that Jiang Ning was seriously injured and almost died. He was afraid that Jiang Ning had some hidden injuries in his body, so he planned to check it out.

But what surprised him was that Jiang Ning was in very good health, without any hidden illness or injury.

This made Yue Buqun feel relieved.

After watching Jiang Ning leave, Yue Buqun prepared to go back to his room to rest, but found Ning Zhongze looking at him expressionlessly.

"what happened?"

Yue Buqun had a bad feeling and asked tentatively.

Ning Zhongze still had the same expression as before.

"How many things have you been hiding from me?"

When Yue Buqun heard this, he knew that his wife was upset.

"This one……"

Yue Buqun pondered over countermeasures in his mind and responded quickly.

"A little bit."

Ning Zhongze raised his voice. "Is this just a little bit?"

"If it weren't for tonight, I probably wouldn't know that you've hidden so many things from me."

Ning Zhongze was very angry.

It is said that a couple sticks together through thick and thin. They have been married for decades and have gone through all kinds of hardships hand in hand. It can be said that they have put in countless efforts to develop the Huashan Sect with only two people to what it is today. Ning Zhongze believes that Yue Buqun has no secrets.

As a result, she now discovered that Yue Buqun had hidden so many things from her, which made Ning Zhongze very angry.

She was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Yue Buqun anymore.

"This one……"

Yue Buqun was speechless and then walked to Ning Zhongze, but Ning Zhongze turned his back to her.

"lady."

Yue Buqun sighed. "This matter is a secret of our Huashan Sect. Even I only learned about it before Master died. Master told me not to tell anyone about it. Master didn't tell you beforehand, which means Master didn't want you to know."

Ning Zhongze questioned. "What about the things that happened later? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yue Buqun was speechless again.

When he didn't get a response, Ning Zhongze asked again, "Does Ning'er know about these things too?"

Yue Buqun was silent after hearing this.

Ning Zhongze did not hear the answer from behind him and fell silent.

After a while.

Ning Zhongze spoke again.

"We've come this far over the years, and yet you've kept so many things from me. Even Ning'er knows, but I know nothing. Can't I share the hard times with you? Can't I know?"

Yue Buqun felt something was wrong.

Ning Zhongze's voice began to choke.

When Yue Buqun turned to the other side, he found that Ning Zhongze was already in tears.

Yue Buqun sighed in his heart and gently held Ning Zhongze in his arms.

Ning Zhongze did not struggle, but buried his head in his arms and cried silently.

Yue Buqun didn't know how to comfort her and could only remain silent.

After a while, Ning Zhongze's voice sounded again.

"I know you don't want me to, you want to bear all this by yourself, I also know you worry a lot about Huashan Sect, but I am also a Huashan disciple and your wife, you shouldn't hide it from me, I have the right to know all this, we can face it together, even Ning'er knows these things, but you don't tell me, am I so ignorant in your heart? Can't I face it together with you?"

Ning Zhongze's voice became much calmer, but it still contained a hint of sadness.

"It's my husband's fault."

Yue Buqun sighed, hugged Ning Zhongze tighter, and apologized sincerely. "I thought you had done too much for Huashan, and I didn't want you to know about these intrigues. I ignored your thoughts. It was my fault."

Ning Zhongze didn't say anything else.

After a while, Ning Zhongze spoke softly.

"let me go."

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun let go of Ning Zhongze and looked at Ning Zhongze's face. At this time, Ning Zhongze's face was covered with tear marks, his eyes were slightly red and swollen, and his makeup was smudged.

"Humph."

Ning Zhongze noticed that Yue Buqun was looking at him, so he snorted and turned away.

She knew that she must be crying ugly now.

Yue Buqun did not embarrass Ning Zhongze and said, "Madam, I will fetch a basin of water for you to wash your face."

Ning Zhongze also realized that her makeup was smudged, so she nodded.

Yue Buqun left the house and went outside to get a basin of water, but when he was about to return to his room, he suddenly stopped with a hesitant look on his face.

After a while, Yue Buqun went to the kitchen, preparing to use the Emei Sect's kitchen to make some ginseng soup.

……

The next day.

Jiang Ning rested for a night and prepared to go out for a walk early in the morning.

He planned to go and take a look at Yue Buqun.

After the side meeting last night, Jiang Ning had a feeling that Ning Zhongze might have an argument with Yue Buqun.

I don’t know how the master handled it.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Ning arrived at his master's and mistress's house, but found the house empty and didn't know where the two had gone.

Not seeing anyone, Jiang Ning decided to stroll around. After a while, he walked into a garden and happened to meet Yue Buqun.

At this time, Yue Buqun was standing not far away with his hands behind his back, looking forward with a calm expression.

Jiang Ning followed his gaze and found someone practicing swordplay.

It was Lin Pingzhi.

Jiang Ning's eyes moved back and forth between Yue Buqun and Lin Pingzhi, then he walked over.

"What is Master thinking about?"

Yue Buqun had long been aware of what was happening behind him. After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Yue Buqun remained motionless, his expression did not change, and he did not answer Jiang Ning's question.

Lin Pingzhi's grandfather was Lin Yuantu. When Lin Yuantu was still the Zen Master Du Yuan, he played a huge role in provoking the confrontation between their Huashan sword energy.

Now that Yue Buqun knows about this, it is difficult to judge what his attitude is towards Lin Pingzhi.

Should we kill Lin Pingzhi? Or drive him out of Huashan?

After a long time.

"That's all."

Without responding to Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun sighed in his heart and only said "that's all".

"The past is gone with the wind, let it go."

After hearing what Yue Buqun said, Jiang Ning knew that Yue Buqun would not vent his anger on Lin Pingzhi.

"Master, after I left last night, Master's wife..."

Jiang Ning hesitated for a while, but finally opened his mouth to ask.

Given Ning Zhongze's personality, she would definitely get angry if she found out that Yue Buqun had been hiding so many things from her.

Yue Buqun turned his head and looked at him with dark circles under his eyes.

"Your master's wife is a reasonable person. At first, she was angry when she found out that my master was hiding something from her, but after my master's persuasion, she is no longer angry."
