The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 101 Thinking Over the Cliff

Ever since leaving Hengyang City, Yue Buqun has been troubled all the way, struggling over whether he should practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

During this period, he also tried to practice forcefully, but unfortunately, he felt hot inside his body. If he had not practiced Zixia internal energy for many years, he would have either gone astray or suffered internal injuries.

Yue Buqun had completely given up hope and confirmed that he had to kill the little bird before he could practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

In the original novel, Yue Buqun also made a determined effort to kill the little bird. Now he had obtained the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism two years earlier and had not yet experienced the blow in the original novel.

Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple who was placed with high hopes, had an affair with the people of the Demon Sect and acquired advanced martial arts but kept it secret from himself.

The heir of the Sword Sect attacked Huashan with the support of the Songshan Sect, hoping to seize the position of the head sect leader.

The Medicine King Temple was besieged, his disciples were killed, and his wife and daughter were almost bullied.

Under such blows, Yue Buqun had to do some psychological preparation before practicing the Sword of Exorcism, let alone this time.

Moreover, Mu Sheng and the Lin family of Fuwei Escort Agency knew the inside story of the Sword Manual of Exorcism, which deepened his hesitation.

Yue Buqun had not made up his mind all the way back to Huashan. After seeing his junior sister Ning Zhongze, he became even more undecided.

Another person who was also heavy-hearted was Linghu Chong. Although he caused less trouble than in the original novel, his negative impact on the Huashan Sect was no less.

While he was worried about what punishment he would receive after returning to the mountain, he was also worried about his junior sister who stayed in Hengyang City day and night, and he didn't understand his master's decision to leave her in Hengyang.

He felt that everything was going wrong and unhappy, and he didn't know who to talk to about his distress.

After returning to Huashan, Linghu Chong was soon punished to face the wall at the Cliff of Repentance for a year, which made him feel even more depressed.

Huashan Jade Maiden Peak, where the Huashan Sect is headquartered.

After Mu Sheng followed Yue Lingshan up the mountain, he saw four or five large houses with white walls, leaning against the uneven hillside.

"Mom, mom, I'm back!"

Yue Lingshan screamed and threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged woman, who was the wife of the leader of the Huashan Sect, Ning Zhongze.

"Oh, this is Brother Sheng. Brother Sheng's Qinggong is amazing. It's like flying. Let's start from..."

After Yue Lingshan briefly introduced Mu Sheng, she chattered about what she had seen and heard along the way.

"Young Master Mu, thank you for taking care of Shan'er along the way."

Ning Zhongze had heard about Mu Sheng's deeds from her husband and a group of disciples a long time ago, and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

"Mrs. Yue, you're too polite."

Mu Sheng replied with a smile, but at the same time he was a little disappointed, because this Madam Yue looked more graceful.

After they had chatted for a few words, a hearty laugh was heard.

“Hahahaha, Young Master Mu, you’re finally here. This really brings honor to the Huashan Sect!”

Yue Buqun strode in with a smile on his face and started praising Mu Sheng.

"Master Yue, you are too polite."

Mu Sheng looked at Yue Buqun inconspicuously. It seemed that he was still not angry. He was a little puzzled as to how he could hold back.

After a round of pleasantries, Yue Buqun began to arrange to entertain Mu Sheng. Although the Huashan Sect was much poorer than the other four sects, it was still richer than ordinary families.

Soon a banquet was prepared, at which Yue Buqun was flattered one after another. Anyone who didn't know the situation would dare to say that he was the leader of Huashan, as he was just a lackey.

South Peak of Huashan Mountain, Siguo Cliff.

Linghu Chong was lying on a rock outside the cave, holding a weed in his mouth, staring at the sky in a daze.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, look what I brought you."

Lu Dayou came up the mountain path with a food box in one hand and a small jar in the other. Before he even arrived, he began to call out to Linghu Chong.

"Six Monkeys, why are you here at this time, and do you have wine?"

Linghu Chong was a little surprised to see Lu Dayou suddenly appear, as he usually didn't come to deliver food at this time.

He immediately smelled the wine, grabbed the jar and drank it all in one gulp.

"That's refreshing. Hahaha."

After drinking the wine, Linghu Chong felt relieved and looked at the food box that Lu Dayou had opened.

"Why are there wine and meat today? Could it be that Master is showing mercy and exempting me from punishment?"

"Big Brother, don't think about it. You've only been facing the wall for a few days. Even if the master is angry, he won't calm down so quickly." Lu Dayou brought out the dishes and placed them on the stone.

"It's the junior sister who's back."

"Junior sister is back? Really? That's great. I haven't seen Junior sister for a long time. I wonder how she is doing in Hengyang City. Is she being bullied?"

Linghu Chong stood up and walked to the side of the mountain path, then stepped back. He just wanted to see his junior sister right away, but he couldn't fulfill his wish because of the punishment of facing the wall.

"I see that Junior Sister is more lively than before. She is smiling when talking about her experiences during this period. She probably hasn't been bullied."

Lu Dayou hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say his guess. The junior sister always talked about Brother Sheng all the time, and six out of ten sentences were about the other party.

I haven't had this happen with my senior brother before. I'm afraid it's
Lu Dayou glanced at Linghu Chong again, who was full of expectation, and decided not to tell his eldest senior brother the news for the time being.

"That's good, that's good. Oh, by the way, Junior Sister came back suddenly. Didn't Master ask her to lead the way for Ting Feng Jian? And if you calculate the time, she didn't slow us down that much."

"Well, Young Hero Tingfeng Jianmu is here too. These wine and food are what Master is using to entertain him. Master's wife asked me to bring some to you as well."

Whether Lu Da answered why Yue Lingshan was able to return to the mountain so quickly, it was not that he didn't know that Yue Lingshan had already shared her experiences along the way with all the senior brothers and sisters.

But this ambiguous way of traveling is not suitable to be told to Senior Brother.

"He's here too. Yes, that's why Master asked Junior Sister to stay in Hengyang," Linghu Chong murmured to himself.

He admired Mu Sheng's martial arts very much. Although he always felt that he was talented in the past, compared with the Tingfeng Sword, it was like candlelight compared to the bright moon, they were completely on a different level.

He had to put a lot of effort into fighting Tian Boguang, but the other party could easily kill five more powerful Songshan Taibao.

In terms of chivalry, although he still felt that Mu Sheng's treatment of Tian Boguang was a bit cruel, he was unable to refute it with words, and this feeling of grievance made him particularly uncomfortable.

"Big Brother, I'll go down first. Eat it while it's hot. I'll come and clean up tomorrow."

Seeing Linghu Chong lost in thought, Lu Dayou did not stay long. He said goodbye and went down the mountain.

"Wait, you. Never mind. Just go ahead."

Linghu Chong originally wanted Lu Dayou to tell his junior sister to come see him, but then gave up.

Even after Lu Dayou disappeared from view, Linghu Chong was still staring at the mountain path in a daze. It was a long time before he returned to the stone where the dishes were placed.

Looking at the food and wine that could only be eaten because of Mu Sheng's arrival, he suddenly felt a little awkward. He wanted to not eat, but he also wanted to drink more.

Wouldn't it be deceiving myself to just drink and not eat? Then he thought that this was bought by Huashan Sect, so why shouldn't he eat it? He quickly convinced himself.

Soon he started eating, taking a sip of wine and a bite of vegetables.

At the same time, the banquet at the foot of the mountain was coming to an end, and everyone started chatting after eating and drinking.

Yue Buqun looked at Yue Lingshan who was talking excitedly, and listened to her sharing of her experiences in Hengyang City and on the way back to Huashan. He nodded with satisfaction from time to time and smiled in confusion.
