Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

Over the years, Yue Zhuoqun has had many people try to practice the Ambidextrous Fighting Technique, and without exception, they have all failed.

Yue Xuan's success was inseparable from his special guidance.

When Yue Xuan was three years old, he was trained to draw with both hands. By the age of seven, he was already able to write and draw skillfully with both hands.

It wasn't until a few days ago that I finally mastered the ambidextrous fighting technique.

Today, among all the people on Mount Hua, Yue Xuan is one of only two besides Yue Zhuoqun who knows how to use both hands simultaneously.

"Junior sister, you're bullying junior brother again."

A mature and steady handsome young man walked into the garden and saw that Yue Xuan's face was distorted by Yue Lingshan's kneading and he was having difficulty breaking free. He couldn't help but laugh.

Yue Lingshan's eyes lit up, and she released her little brother, smiling demurely: "Senior Brother, when did you return to the mountain?"

"Just got back!"

Yang Lin responded and went to the pavilion to bow:

"Greetings, Master and Mistress!"

"Lin'er, you haven't been back to the mountain for half a year, have you? Sit down and have some tea," Ning Zhongze said, pouring a cup of water for him.

"Thank you, Master."

Yang Lin didn't stand on ceremony and sat down properly.

"How is this batch of disciples doing in their training?" Yue Zhuoqun asked.

Over the past seven years, nearly a hundred apprentices have graduated each year, and more than two hundred disciples have even reached the second-rate level.

After ten years of development, the Huashan School has fully risen to prominence.

Compared to the Huashan Sect twenty-five years ago, the number of top-tier masters is not as large, but the number of second- and third-tier masters has far exceeded that, and the quality of the disciples is also far superior to what it used to be.

Yue Zhuoqun would arrange for each batch of graduating disciples to go down the mountain for training.

The training missions mainly consisted of escorting goods and accepting jobs in various places to eliminate bandits and outlaws, with little involvement in the struggles between major sects.

Most of the major sects have received news of the Huashan Sect's revival, but they are not entirely clear about its actual strength.

Many interesting things happened during this period. Some sects sent spies to infiltrate Mount Hua to gather information.

Among them was Lao Denuo, a disciple sent by Zuo Lengchan.

The current Huashan Mountain sect has very strict requirements for recruiting disciples. They need to study in the martial arts hall for several years first, and there are requirements regarding their background and age.

Unable to ascend Mount Hua, Laudenuo could only remain hidden as a shop assistant in a store at the foot of the mountain.

Even that shop was owned by the Huashan Sect, and his every move was under surveillance. No useful information could be gleaned from him. Even if he did learn something, it was only because Yue Zhuoqun intentionally let him hear it.

After five years of lying low to no avail, he could only slink back to Mount Song to report to Zuo Lengchan.

Yang Lin gave Yue Zhuoqun a brief introduction to the new disciples' training.

Not only him, but also the first batch of disciples, including Linghu Chong and Feng Xinghua, were able to stand on their own.

These past few years I've been leading new disciples on training missions outside the region.

Yang Lin hesitated for a moment, observing Yue Zhuoqun's expression, and said:

"Master, our fourth junior brother disappeared for a while a few months ago..."

"He went back to seek revenge!" Yue Zhuoqun was not surprised at all.

The fourth junior brother was none other than Xia Xueyi.

"Aren't you angry? After all, Fourth Junior Brother's methods of revenge are really a bit..."

Because of Huashan's teachings, Xia Xueyi did not commit any acts of raping or defiling women surnamed Wen, but most of the Wen family members were still brutally murdered by him.

"Those five elders of the Wen family are no good people, and most of their offspring are not pure and good either. It would not be too much for them to die in any way."

The five elders of the Wen family are only second-rate in terms of martial arts skill, but they are full of schemes and tricks. The Five Elements Formation they unleash together is quite powerful. Xueyi didn't suffer any losses, did she?

Seeing that Yue Zhuoqun wasn't angry, Yang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"At first there was none. Later, my fourth junior brother fell in love with a daughter of the Wen family and planned to let go of his hatred, but he was poisoned and assassinated by the five elders of the Wen family."

Fortunately, his fellow disciples arrived in time after hearing the news, thus saving him from being killed.

Now that the five elders of the Wen family are dead, the fourth junior brother is kneeling at the foot of the mountain with Wen Yi. Without his master's approval, he dares not return to the mountain.

Yue Zhuoqun sighed and glanced at Yue Lingshan, who was listening intently beside him: "Shan'er, go down the mountain and bring your fourth senior brother back!"

Chapter 20 Lin Zhennan's Plea for Help

After Yue Lingshan left, Yang Lin completely relaxed. He was really afraid that Yue Zhuoqun would be unhappy about this and blame Xia Xueyi.

"Master, besides my fourth junior brother, there is another reason why I returned to the mountain this time."

The Fuwei Escort Agency in Fuzhou has run into trouble and has sent someone to our Huashan Mountain to ask for help.

Yue Zhuoqun raised an eyebrow: Is the plot about to begin?

He looked at Yang Lin with interest and gestured, "Tell me more."

"The cause was that they had accepted a shipment to the capital, but they were ambushed by martial arts practitioners as soon as they set off. Before they even crossed the Yellow River, four of the head镖师 (chief镖师) had been killed one after another."

Mr. and Mrs. Lin Zhennan personally came to escort the shipment, and they also suffered serious injuries.

They want to hire experts from Mount Hua to protect the goods. If we can successfully transport the goods to the capital, they're willing to give us 60% of the escort fee, 30,000 taels.

"Cooperative bodyguard service?"

Yue Zhuoqun was surprised; this was not the kind of trouble he had expected.

Shouldn't it be the Qingcheng Sect plotting to kill the head of the escort agency for the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual? How did it get involved in such a large deal?

Sixty percent would amount to thirty thousand taels of silver, and the total amount of silver would be fifty thousand taels.

Such a large order might not come around even once in ten years.

Do you know what you're escorting?

"All we know is that it's a large square box, but we don't know exactly what's inside. The person who hired the bodyguard seems to be the former Grand Secretary Zhang Haiduan."

Yue Zhuoqun's mind instantly became clear.

This world is not simply a collection of stories from the same period in history; it also incorporates elements from other worlds from similar time periods.

Zhang Haiduan is a character from the drama series "Reign of Assassins".

It seems that two different storylines have merged.

Fuwei Escort Agency's business is mainly in the south, while Huashan has been doing most of the escort business in the north in recent years.

It's understandable that Lin Zhennan would think of asking the Huashan Sect for help when he encountered trouble on his journey north.

“We’ll take this job. Go and call back Linghu Chong, Feng Xinghua, Mu Renqing and the others. I’ll take you all with me to help with the escort.”

"Is Master going too?" Yang Lin asked excitedly.

In the year right after graduation, Yue Zhuoqun personally led them on two trips to the martial arts world for training, but that was the last time.

"Not bad!"

This involves two major events in the martial arts world; how could I not get involved!

“Father, I want to go too.” Yue Xuan couldn’t help but speak up.

He had rarely left the mountains since birth and had long yearned for the martial arts world.

But the next second he was reprimanded by Ning Zhongze:

"The teacher has complained to me about your skipping classes several times. You still want to go out and make your way in the world? I think you're just asking for trouble."

Hurry up and get ready to go to the martial arts academy for your class!

Yue Xuan tensed up immediately and looked at Yue Zhuoqun with a wronged expression, but Yue Zhuoqun ignored her completely and leisurely admired the scenery of the garden.

Seeing this, she could only pout in disappointment and flee the garden as if escaping.

Ning Zhongze was gentle to everyone, but she was strict with her son. If he was too naughty, he would really get a spanking.

After some time, Yue Lingshan returned.

Xia Xueyi pulled a gentle girl and knelt down in front of Yue Zhuoqun with a thud:

“This unfilial disciple has brought shame upon the Huashan Sect and failed in his master’s teachings. I beg the master to punish me.”

His methods of revenge were completely devoid of the conduct expected of a righteous disciple, and if word got out, it would surely bring criticism to the Huashan Sect. This was also why he was ashamed to return and face Yue Zhuoqun.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's only natural to take revenge."

If I don't even have this much tolerance, what kind of sect leader or master am I?

Don't feel burdened by this, get up!

Ning Zhongze also stood up and stepped forward, pulling the girl up with a smile:

"You must be Wen Yi."

"With such a charming and captivating appearance, no wonder she captured Xueyi's heart."

Wen Yi's pretty face flushed slightly. She glanced at Xia Xueyi first, then called out softly, "Master's wife."
