Zongwu: I am Ma Dayuan's disciple, Master's wife, you are so hot

She obviously didn't understand Shen Xin's character, otherwise, she would have guessed that Shen Xin already knew that she was disguised as a man.

Just like Ji Yaohua, she has already seen some clues.

"Brother Dong is very skilled in martial arts!" Compared to the conflict between Dongfang Bubai and Shen Xin, what Linghu Chong cares more about is undoubtedly her martial arts.

Let’s look at Shen Xin again. Although he didn’t show much, it can be seen from the fact that he easily killed Tian Boguang.

"Since when have there been so many powerful people in the martial arts world?" Linghu Chong couldn't help but mutter to himself. He had never cared much about strength, but now he couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency.

Dongfang Bubai's return was just an episode and soon passed. Everyone continued on their journey and finally arrived in Hengyang City in the afternoon.

After entering Hengyang, Linghu Chong suggested that they first go to the place he and his junior brother had agreed to visit.

Shen Xin naturally had no objection, and neither did Yi Lin. She was still counting on her senior brother Linghu Chong to help her find her master.

Soon, everyone arrived at an inn near Huiyan Tower in Hengyang City.

"This is it." Linghu Chong turned around and said to Shen Xin, then walked in first.

He originally wanted to ask the innkeeper about the whereabouts of his fellow apprentices, but as soon as he entered, Linghu Chong found the figure of his fellow apprentice in the hall.

Linghu Chong immediately walked towards his fellow apprentices, and then slapped Lu Hou'er on the back, who was squatting on a bench and telling others something lively.

"Six Monkeys, is this what your master taught you?" Linghu Chong imitated Yue Buqun's voice.

Lu Dayou's body froze. He turned back and stammered, "Master... Senior Brother?"

After seeing Linghu Chong, Lu Dayou relaxed immediately: "Big Brother, you scared me to death. I thought it was really the master who came."

"Master is in Huashan, how could he suddenly appear here?" Linghu Chong laughed.

"Is Master Yue not coming to attend the Retirement Ceremony?"

Shen Xin followed Linghu Chong and asked curiously after hearing Linghu Chong say that Yue Buqun was in Huashan.

"Big Brother, who is this?" Lu Dayou looked in the direction of the voice and after seeing Shen Xin, he immediately became interested and asked Linghu Chong.

Third Junior Brother Liang Fa, Fifth Junior Brother Gao Genming, and Eighth Junior Brother Luo Baiying also looked at Linghu Chong curiously, waiting for him to introduce them.

No matter how you look at it, Shen Xin is no ordinary person!

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Shen Xin from the Northern Song Dynasty. There is no doubt that he is the most handsome man in the world that has been rumored in the martial arts world recently."

"This is Mr. Shen's wife, Ji Yaohua."

"This is my junior sister from the Hengshan School of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Yi Lin."

"Master Shen, this is my sixth junior brother, Lu Dayou, this is my third junior brother Liang Fa, fifth junior brother Gao Genming, and eighth junior brother Luo Baiying."

"By the way, where did Shi Daizi and the others go?"

"Senior brother has taken people to inquire about the news." Lu Dayou replied. In front of outsiders, he did not say that Shi Daizi and the others were just asking for news as a side job. The main purpose was to have a good time in Hengyang City.

Linghu Chong nodded without asking any more questions. He called the waiter over and set up a table. Then, Linghu Chong asked Shen Xin and others to sit down.

He himself sat down next to Lu Dayou.

"Dayou, is there any news about Hengshan Sect?" Linghu Chong asked, hooking his hand on Lu Dayou's shoulder.

"I didn't pay much attention, so they should not have arrived yet." Lu Dayou thought for a while and shook his head.

"Junior Sister Yilin, I will ask my fellow junior brothers to keep an eye out for news from the Hengshan Sect. When they arrive, I will inform you the first time." Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong comforted Yilin.

Yilin nodded and thanked him.

"Brother Linghu." Shen Xin reminded.

Linghu Chong blinked at Shen Xin, and then whispered: "Brother Shen, I'm telling you this, don't spread it around!"

"Master Yue is not coming, is there some secret here?" Shen Xin asked in confusion.

In the original novel, Yue Buqun attended Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony.

"Have you heard that Liu Zhengfeng is not on good terms with Mr. Mo Da, the head of the Hengshan Sect?" Linghu Chong asked instead of answering.

"I've heard a little about it." Shen Xin replied.

"Mr. Mo Da is the head of the Hengshan Sect. Liu Zhengfeng is not on good terms with him. If my master were to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony, what would Mr. Mo Da think?"

"So, Master and his wife let me lead the team this time, so that we could accept Liu Zhengfeng's invitation and not offend Mr. Mo Da."

Shen Xin understood, it turned out that he had overlooked some details in the original book.

Yue Buqun did attend the Retirement Conference later, but he did not come from the beginning. Instead, he followed Yu Canghai and Lin Pingzhi all the way here.

After resolving his doubts, Shen Xin didn't show any expression afterwards. He just ate and drank with Linghu Chong and his fellow apprentices.

Halfway through the meal, Linghu Chong's other two fellow apprentices came back.

Fourth junior brother Shi Daizi, seventh junior brother Tao Jun!

Except for his second fellow apprentice Lao Denuo and his youngest apprentice sister Yue Lingshan who were arranged to go to Fuzhou, all of Linghu Chong's fellow apprentices were present.

After getting to know each other, everyone continued to eat.

After eating and drinking, Linghu Chong ran to pay the bill and asked if there were any rooms available in the inn.

However, recently, due to Liu Zhengfeng's retirement from the underworld, many people from the underworld have come to Hengyang City, and most of the inns are full.

Especially for those like them who are close to Huiyan Tower and in a central location, needless to say.

"I'll take Yilin to another inn." Shen Xin said.

"I'll accompany you?"

"Brother Linghu, you're welcome." Shen Xin shook his head and declined.

Linghu Chong was really not polite to Shen Xin. Seeing Shen Xin refuse, he did not force him. He just pulled Shen Xin aside and, behind Ji Yaohua's back, invited Shen Xin to go to the brothel together in the evening.

Shen Xin was not very interested in this and refused directly.

"Then let's go back to Yanlou tomorrow. Brother Shen won't refuse, right?"

Huiyanlou is a famous restaurant in Hengyang City. When you come to Hengyang, you must go to Huiyanlou to have a meal.

Even if Linghu Chong didn't mention it, Shen Xin still planned to go.

He nodded and didn't refuse.

……

The next day.

Shen Xin brought Ji Yaohua and Yi Lin to the inn where Linghu Chong and his Huashan disciples were resting to meet up with them. Afterwards, they all went to Huiyan Tower together.

Coming to the window seat on the second floor, Shen Xin and others sat around a large round table. When the food and wine were served, everyone began to eat and drink.

With so many people gathered together, it was inevitable that there would be noise.

Lu Dayou's nickname is "Six Monkeys", and he lives up to his name. When he gets excited, he claps the table and dances around, just like a monkey.

"Hmph, what a disgrace to make so much noise!" Suddenly, a cold snort was heard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a green Taoist robe sitting at a table not far from them. He had a serious and stern expression on his face.

Seeing Linghu Chong and the others looking over, the middle-aged man continued to shout, "Is this how Buqun teaches his disciples?"

"Excuse me, senior, who are you?" Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong instantly suppressed his temper and asked with a bow.

"Taishan Sect, Tianmen!"

"So you are Uncle Tianmen from Taishan Sect. I'm Linghu Chong. My apologies." Linghu Chong said, then turned to look at Lu Dayou and the others.

"Speak softly and don't disturb others."

"Uncle Tianmen, we are new to the martial arts world. Please forgive us if we have offended you."

Seeing that Linghu Chong was so tactful, Tianmen nodded and his expression became much better.

As for the identities of Linghu Chong and the others, Tianmen had already known them. After all, he had not just taken his seat, but had been sitting there for a while.

"Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect, where is your master?" Tianmen asked, having obviously heard of Linghu Chong's name.

"My master has other important matters to attend to, so he asked me to attend Uncle Liu's Golden Basin (Li Ma Hao) Hand-washing Ceremony on his behalf."

"Your master has important matters to attend to. Miss Ning, can't she leave?" Tianshan was obviously not very happy with Yue Buqun sending Linghu Chong, a disciple of his generation, to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony.

"Master's wife has to stay in Huashan." Linghu Chong replied.

"Huashan... there really is no one left!" Tianshan couldn't help but sigh when he heard that.

Linghu Chong's eyelids twitched involuntarily. He felt both angry and amused. What made him angry was, of course, that Tianshan said that their Huashan Sect had no one. Even though the Huashan Sect was indeed in decline now, how could Linghu Chong feel happy when others said this about his own sect?

Besides, isn’t Linghu Chong considered a human being?

The funny thing, of course, is that Tianmen seems to be confused about the situation. He doesn’t really think that his master is in trouble!

You came to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony, where did you put Mr. Mo Da?

It doesn't even seem like Tianmen is very smart to not be able to think of this.

Chapter 224: Beggars' Sect Leader Jie Feng

Facing the Taoist priest of Tianmen, Linghu Chong had a sense of superiority as if he was standing on a higher level.

But if it weren't for Ning Zhongze's advice, Linghu Chong would actually be similar to the Taoist priest Tianmen. The two are exactly the same. Big brother, don't laugh at the second brother.

Taoist Tianmen's interruption made the lively atmosphere at the dinner table gradually become cold.

Moreover, after Taoist Tianmen finished speaking, he did not leave but sat next to him. Even if he tried to lower his voice deliberately, he could not relax with such an elder sitting next to him.

"We've almost finished eating, Brother Linghu, I'll take my leave first." Shen Xin said goodbye at the right time.

Linghu Chong had no intention of meeting again and nodded: "Brother Shen, take care."

Afterwards, Linghu Chong said to Yilin, "Junior Sister Yilin, don't worry. I will inform you immediately when I know the news about Hengshan Sect."

"Sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother Linghu." Yi Lin nodded. Now she knew that the people from Hengshan Sect had not come to Hengyang City yet.

She could also guess the reason. Most likely, she was lost, and her master and a group of fellow sisters were looking for her, which was why they had not come to Hengyang yet.
