The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun - Page 481
Yi Lin looked at him blankly.
Linghu Chong asked, "You seem very troubled. Is it because of the dumb old lady?"
When her thoughts were revealed, Yi Lin slowly lowered her head.
"Brother Linghu."
After a long time, Yi Lin's voice sounded.
Linghu Chong turned around and found Yi Lin looking at him with red eyes, as if she had been crying.
"The Mute Granny is my biological mother. She was originally a disciple of Hengshan. Later, my father and I gave birth to me. All the people in my Hengshan sect are monks and cannot marry. But my mother married my father and had a child. Now my master and uncles don’t know that my mother is the Mute Granny. If they knew, they would definitely be angry and my mother might die. But if they don’t tell me, as a disciple, I am protecting my mother and violating the sect rules. What should I do?"
Linghu Chong was speechless.
Obviously Yi Lin was puzzled by this question. After thinking for a long time, he did not answer, but said: "I think Master Dingyi and Master Dingxian are both good people. They should not be so heartless."
Yi Lin looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Do you think I should tell Master?"
Linghu Chong did not answer. If he said something wrong and Yi Lin really listened to him, which led to the death of the mute old woman, he would be in trouble.
Not getting an answer, Yi Lin sighed softly.
The two did not speak again until they were almost leaving. Linghu Chong suddenly said, "I think you should trust your master. Uncle Dingyi and the others are all first-class good people. I don't think they would do anything to break up a family."
Yi Lin turned to look at him, and Linghu Chong said nothing more.
When the two returned, Jiang Ning and Bujie were still waiting for them, but neither of them spoke. Linghu Chong found that the atmosphere was a little quiet.
"Junior brother, master, please forgive me for waiting for a long time."
Linghu Chong burst into laughter.
Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.
Bujie didn't look at him, but looked at Yilin beside him and found that her eyes were slightly red. Thinking that Linghu Chong was bullying Yilin, he immediately became angry.
"Linghu Chong, did you bully my daughter?"
Linghu Chong was stunned and tried to explain himself, but Yi Lin said it first.
"Dad, Brother Linghu didn't bully me."
Bujie frowned and looked at her: "Don't be afraid, if Linghu Chong really bullies you, your father will stand up for you. Although I can't beat them, my daughter will not be bullied by others!"
"Brother Linghu really didn't bully me!"
Yilin said something again, and Bujie snorted coldly, pulling Yilin forward, ignoring Jiangning and the others.
Linghu Chong came to Jiang Ning and winked at him.
Jiang Ning shook his head slightly.
"Let's go back."
Linghu Chong felt a little sorry, even though he actually didn't know anything about Jiang Ning.
"it is good."
When they returned to Jianxing Peak, Master Dingyi was waiting for them.
"How did you feel when you went to the Hanging Temple?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "The Hanging Temple is indeed a great wonder in the world. It is hard to imagine that the ancients had such a miraculous power. I have to admire it."
Master Dingyi also laughed and said, "Yes, I really admire the ingenuity of the ancients."
After discussing this topic, Ding Yi said, "Since you have come to my Hengshan, then stay in Hengshan for a while."
Jiang Ning said, "Uncle Master, my two brothers and I will be leaving in a few days."
Master Dingyi was surprised: "So urgent?"
Jiang Ning said, "My nephew left the mountain in July last year, and it has been more than half a year now. He will go to Beijing to visit friends, and then return to Huashan. I am afraid that Master will be anxious if he stays away from the mountain for too long. In addition, Uncle Dingxian mentioned that the Beggars' Sect is going to Shaolin to ask Shaolin for help. My fellow disciples should also go back as soon as possible to make preparations."
Master Dingyi originally wanted to persuade him to stay, but after hearing what the other party said, she could not help but nodded.
"Yes, that's right."
However, Master Dingyi was somewhat curious about the visit to friends that Jiang Ning mentioned.
"You're going to visit friends in the capital? Do you have good friends in the capital?"
Jiang Ning felt that the other party's tone was a bit strange, but he still nodded.
"He is just a friend I met by chance when I went to the capital."
Ding Yi asked curiously, "Is your good friend a Jianghu person?"
Jiang Ning shook his head. "No, I'm just an ordinary person."
Dingyi felt even more surprised. She found it hard to believe that Jiang Ning actually had an ordinary person as a friend. She was also curious about who that ordinary person was that could make the famous Ning Yanwang make a special trip to visit her.
Shaking her head, Master Dingyi looked at Linghu Chong curiously.
"I heard you're getting married soon?"
Linghu Chong chuckled when he heard this. "My master has decided to marry his daughter to me, and they are going to choose a date for the wedding."
Master Dingyi laughed and said, "When are you planning to get married? My Hengshan Sect will definitely be there when the time comes."
Linghu Chong said quickly, "The date has not been set yet. Everything will be arranged by Master. We will definitely invite all the senior brothers when the time comes."
Master Dingyi nodded, but her eyes were a little strange at this time, wandering between Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong.
She originally thought that Yue Buqun was planning to marry Yue Lingshan to Jiang Ning.
Is Yue Buqun planning to let Linghu Chong take over as the leader of the Huashan Sect?
Thinking of this, Master Dingyi couldn't help but frown subconsciously.
It’s not that she has any opinion on Linghu Chong, but she thinks Jiang Ning is more suitable.
As soon as Linghu Chong saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking and said directly.
"Uncle Master, my master has confirmed that my junior brother will take over the position of the head of Huashan."
Chapter 542: My Master Just Wants to Know
"is it?"
Master Dingyi was stunned, but then said nothing more.
Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong did not object to Yue Buqun's doing this, which means that they both had no objections.
That's good.
Dingyi was also worried that Yue Buqun might not be able to handle the issue of succession well, which would cause conflicts between his two fellow apprentices Jiangning and Jiangning.
"If you have any questions in Hengshan these days, you can always come to me."
After saying this, Master Dingyi left.
In the next few days, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong just visited the scenery of Hengshan Mountain. Linghu Chong did not see Yi Lin again until three days later when Yi Lin found Linghu Chong with a happy expression on her face.
"Brother Linghu, thank you for your advice a few days ago."
Yi Lin's words left Linghu Chong confused.
"what happened?"
Yilin is no longer as sad as before, and there is a smile on her face.
"Yesterday, I thought about it and decided with my mother. Then I confessed to Master and the headmaster. The headmaster and Master did not pursue the matter."
Yilin had been conflicted since she returned that day, and kept thinking about Linghu Chong's words in her mind. It was not until yesterday that she realized that it was not possible to keep it a secret, so she chose to confess. And Master Dingxian was just as Linghu Chong had expected. Although she was very surprised that the dumb old woman had been in Hengshan in disguise for so many years, she did not pursue the matter in the end. Instead, she chose to forgive the dumb old woman's sins and did not expel Yilin from Hengshan. She was willing to let Yilin and the dumb old woman stay in Hengshan and let the dumb old woman continue to clean the Hanging Temple every day.
This is the best outcome for Yilin.
"Really? Congratulations."
Linghu Chong was also very happy.
Yi Lin also laughed, her smile was extremely bright.
"By the way, Brother Linghu, how long will you and Junior Brother Jiang Ning stay in Hengshan?"
Linghu Chong smiled and said, "It will be soon. I will prepare to say goodbye to my uncles the day after tomorrow."
Yi Lin exclaimed.
"So fast?"
Yi Lin seemed a little disappointed, but in the end she didn't say anything and left.
It was not until the third day that Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong were ready to leave.
The two came to Wu Se Temple, and Jiang Ning said to Master Ding Xian who was chanting scriptures.
"Master Dingxian, my two brothers and I are preparing to leave Hengshan today. We would like to say goodbye to you today."
Nun Dingxian stopped chanting, opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Ning, and nodded.
"Safe travels."
After bidding farewell to Master Dingxian, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong descended Mount Heng and prepared to head towards the capital.
Linghu Chong seemed a little listless along the way.
"Elder brother, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask.
Linghu Chong glanced at him and shook his head.
"nothing."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions.
Linghu Chong sighed secretly again.
Originally, he wanted to come to Shanxi to find a way to secretly taste Fenjiu, but he couldn't find the opportunity. He hadn't touched a drop of wine during this period of time, and he was very greedy.
Linghu Chong glanced at Jiang Ning and sighed again.
He thought that without Yue Buqun's restraint, he could shout as much as he wanted after going down the mountain. However, Jiang Ning managed him even more strictly than Yue Buqun.
