The Villain's Counterattack

After killing all the members of the Songshan Sect lurking near Mount Hua, Lin Pingzhi left on a fast horse and headed straight for Mount Heng, the Northern Peak, the next morning. However, he had not gone far before he was caught up by Monk Bujie, the young nun Yilin and Tian Boguang.

"That kid Linghu Chong said that you deduced the news about my wife?" Monk Bujie looked Lin Pingzhi up and down and patted him on the shoulder.

"Pa!" Lin Pingzhi slapped back with his hand, and the two of them shook at the same time. Monk Bujie's eyes lit up, but a bad idea popped up in his mind.

"Not bad, not bad. You look three times better than Linghu Chong with your slicked-back hair and powdered face. Your martial arts skills are even better than his, and only slightly inferior to mine. Boy, it's you." Monk Bujie laughed heartily. "My dear daughter, Linghu Chong is having affairs outside. He's not a good man. Daddy has found you a better one."

Yi Lin was so embarrassed that she glared at her father, her face flushing red. Lin Pingzhi laughed heartily and said, "Brother, you are so generous and your martial arts are quite impressive. I'd like to get to know you. However, our martial arts skills are similar. We can drink and eat meat together, and we can be close friends. Wouldn't it be wonderful? If I marry your daughter, I will be inferior to you, and how can I feel happy?"

"Hehe, you are just like me. It doesn't matter. Even if you marry my daughter, you can still call me big brother." Monk Bujie patted his chest loudly.

"I'm afraid that Sister Yilin will be wronged. I run around all day long, visiting more than a dozen provinces a year, and even go overseas. Sister Yilin has a calm personality. Can she adapt to such a life?" Lin Pingzhi began to discuss with Monk Bujie how they should live after they got married, but the more he talked, the more unhappy Monk Bujie became.

"Can't you just find a place to stay quietly? Can your trivial matters be more important than my precious daughter?" Monk Bujie was furious.

"My Fuwei Escort Agency is spread across more than a dozen provinces, with three to five thousand men and women. Although I've already eliminated nearly half of them, there are still quite a few left. Furthermore, my family has assets overseas, and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people depend on me. I can't neglect them." Lin Pingzhi sighed and said, "At least until my younger brother Bufan comes of age, I'll be living a life of toil and hardship. I just want to ask you, is earning one million taels of silver a year a big deal?"

Monk Bujie was stunned. He only had dozens of taels of silver on him, and this kid asked him if a million taels of silver was a lot.

"Men become bad when they have money. Do you have a lot of women outside?" Monk Bujie looked at Lin Pingzhi suspiciously. Lin Pingzhi nodded slightly and said, "You have more than a dozen maids and servants, but they don't have any official status. For a wealthy family, especially for me, who is a Juren (Juren) and a military officer appointed by the emperor, how can I go out and meet people without more than ten or twenty concubines?"

"Get out, get out! My daughter will never marry such a playboy." Monk Bujie pushed Lin Pingzhi away, his face full of displeasure. This guy seemed to have a high status, and his daughter couldn't control him.

"Brother Monk, your daughter is beautiful, but she cannot be my principal wife. I have achieved fame and honor, so generally speaking, I can only marry a scholar of equal status, unless the status is already determined before I achieve fame and honor. It doesn't matter. I think Junior Nun Yilin is pretty and charming. I can make her my first concubine."

Then, Master Bujie and Lin Pingzhi fought for a while. After a hundred or so moves, Master Bujie, with a pair of panda eyes, refused to go with him no matter what, saying that he was afraid of being angered to death. However, Lin Pingzhi was not willing to give in. He pressed his acupoints and tied him to the horse, and continued to pester him.

Tian Boguang's eyes lit up as he watched from the side. Great monk, oh great monk, you made me a monk, which was so glorious. Now I'm getting my retribution, isn't it?

Hehe, I know this guy has Feng Qingyang's approval, saying he's already crossed the threshold of a top master. You might be powerful, but how can you know the extraordinaryness of a top master? No, you must study hard and practice hard to improve your martial arts. In the future, you can bully this big monk at will like Lin Pingzhi. He looked at his face flushing red, but because he had been mute-pressed, he couldn't refute it, and he felt relieved.

The funny Tian Boguang went straight forward to pay his respects to his master, saying that his master was Master Yilin. Since Lin Pingzhi claimed that Yilin was his first favorite concubine, didn't that make her his master? Since this was their first meeting, he asked her if she could give him some pointers on his martial arts.

Lin Pingzhi found it very amusing to watch Yi Lin, who was constantly complaining. He also knew that Tian Boguang had fallen into his trap and was unlikely to continue doing evil in the future. It would be a good idea to let him guard Hengshan, but he could only watch but not touch, which was also a punishment.

Lin Pingzhi asked for Tian Boguang's lightness skills and swordsmanship, "Flying on the Grass" and "Thirty-six Quick Sword Styles". These skills, although well-known in the streets, could almost be considered first-class skills, which made him quite satisfied. Tian Boguang's lightness skills were good enough, but his swordsmanship still had room for improvement. After learning Dugu Nine Swords, Lin Pingzhi knew more about many weapons.

He first pointed out the imperfections one by one, and then modified them bit by bit together with Tian Boguang. At the same time, he also passed this sword technique to the flying cavalry around him.

In just half a month, Tian Boguang felt that his swordsmanship had greatly improved. Not only was his speed increased by two points, but he was also more difficult to resist because he could control the speed at his will. At the same time, he also got a recipe for medicinal food that could regulate his body and slightly heal the injuries on his body. His internal strength also improved slightly, but not very noticeably.

During this period, Monk Bujie was served with delicious food and drinks every day, but he was not happy at all. This kid not only taught Tian Boguang, but also taught his own daughter. The effect was much better than if he had done it himself. How could this kid also know the martial arts of the Hengshan School and the group of little nuns? It was really weird.

No! This guy must be targeting those little nuns. Looking at his shifty look, I know he's not a good person. I can't let my daughter get too close to someone like him, but I really can't beat him. What can I do?

Tell tales!

I can't defeat you myself, but the group of old nuns on Mount Heng should have a way. Monk Bujie had an idea and immediately calmed down, which made Lin Pingzhi feel bored. I bully you, can you at least react a little? You are so well-behaved, which makes me feel unfulfilled. It is more interesting to tease the little nun.

Lin Pingzhi's personal experience, expounding on the principles of three wives, four concubines, three obediences, and four virtues, left Monk Bujie in a state of dismay. The young nun Yilin avoided him daily, yet she constantly mused on Linghu Chong's good points. At least Brother Linghu was devoted and loyal, unlike this villain's greed. However, Brother Linghu already had his own junior sister, so how much room could a junior sister from another sect hold in his heart?

"If you like her, pursue her. It doesn't matter if she has a wife or not. As long as the end result is good, that's all that matters." Lin Pingzhi spoke confidently, "Linghu Chong is Huashan's top disciple, a dignified, first-rate young master. No one can compare to him except me. He's also quite handsome and has a decent personality. He's bound to become the future head of Huashan. His marriage to Yue Lingshan is inevitable. It affects the internal stability of Huashan. If we want to promote Huashan, connecting with the outside world is essential. You would make a good marriage partner, becoming the second wife of the future head of Huashan."

"Little Nun, you must think carefully. The Second Madam is sometimes more popular than the First Madam. If something goes wrong, the First Madam will take the brunt of the burden. You only need to enjoy the favor of your elder brother Linghu. If Yue Lingshan treats you badly, it's just because she's narrow-minded. If she treats you well, you'll just have one more person who loves you. They are both top-notch masters, and they will also benefit your cultivation. You've seen that under my guidance, your martial arts have improved rapidly. These two top-notch masters are at least half as good as me, right?"

"You don't need to show up in public, and you don't need to worry about being a housekeeper. All you need to do every day is please Linghu Chong beautifully. This is the best choice for you."
