Chapter 404: A New Member
In September, Beijing entered the early autumn. The sky was like a sapphire caressed by the morning light. It was clear, high, and the boundless blue was refreshing.

The sunshine is no longer as passionate as it was in midsummer, but has become gentle and poetic, bringing a hint of delicate warmth as it falls on the earth, soothing people's hearts just right.

When night falls, the capital city presents a different look.

In the cool night breeze, there is a hint of fresh osmanthus fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

Look up and you will see stars all over the sky and the Milky Way stretching across the horizon. These are the most dazzling decorations between heaven and earth.

In the backyard of the Ou Mansion, with the help of Master Ding Xian and Female Doctor Tan, Yue Lingshan gave birth to a pair of twin daughters for Ou Zanghua.

Although he already knew from Yue Lingshan's body shape that they were twins, Ou Zanghua was still pleasantly surprised when he actually welcomed the two daughters.

Unfortunately, since she had just given birth, Ou Zanghua could not enter the delivery room, so he could only ask Master Ding Xian: "Master, how is Lingshan?"

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Ou, Lingshan is fine."

Nun Dingxian said with emotion: "Huashan internal strength is indeed worthy of being the orthodox Xuanmen. Lingshan gave birth to twins this time, and the delivery was smoother than Qingqing's. I just took her pulse and her breath was long and continuous. I think she will recover faster."

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing off Master Ding Xian, Liu Qing said, "My dear, now our Ou family finally has both a son and a daughter!"

Ou Zanghua didn't say anything, but just silently held Liu Qing's hand.

It was not until the next day when Ou Zanghua got off work and returned home that he was allowed to enter the delivery room to see the child and Yue Lingshan.

At this moment, Yue Lingshan was leaning on the bed, with an exquisite headband cleverly tied in her hair, adding a touch of gentleness to her look.

She held a bowl of steaming soup in her hand and sipped it, her eyes and brows filled with a warm glow.

When Ou Zanghua pushed the door open and walked in, her eyes lit up instantly, a brilliant smile bloomed on the corners of her mouth, and she called out in a clear and pleasant voice: "Senior Brother, you are here!"

"Lingshan, thank you for your hard work." Ou Zanghua walked to the bedside and sat down, took the soup, handed it to Yue Lingshan's lips, and fed her personally.

When the bowl of soup was finished, Ou Zanghua grabbed Yue Lingshan's wrist and began to feel her pulse. After confirming that her pulse was stable and she was in good health, he said gently, "Thank you, Lingshan, for giving birth to two little girls for me. I am very happy."

Yue Lingshan's pretty face flushed slightly, she lowered her head shyly, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I am happy and satisfied to be able to give birth to a child for my brother..."

There was a trickle of admiration between the words. Ou Zanghua felt warm in his heart and could not help but gently kiss the extremely beautiful woman in front of him.

Yue Lingshan was fascinated for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and said in a panic, "Oh, brother, you haven't seen the two girls yet, right? They are over there! The one in white is the elder sister, she looks more quiet. The one in purple is the younger sister, she seems to be more lively and active."

Upon hearing this, Ou Zanghua involuntarily turned his head to look at the two little lives in the cradle.

Their little faces are chubby and they look a bit naive like newborn calves, but they are still a long way from being beautiful.

The two little girls are now immersed in dreams, breathing evenly and peacefully. How can one tell who will be a quiet and scholarly girl in the future, and who will be a lively and active elf?

"Brother, have you thought of their names?" Yue Lingshan looked at Ou Zanghua and asked expectantly.

"Yes," Ou Zanghua nodded and said calmly: "Just like Aokiji, the elder sister is called Ou Ling and the younger sister is called Ou Shan."

He looked at Yue Lingshan and added seriously: "Whether it's Qingzhi, Ling'er, or Shanshan, they are all children I cherish."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan's eyes trembled slightly, and then she gently snuggled into her senior brother's arms. The emotions surging in her heart were like a delicate spring breeze, blowing across her heart and leaving a tingling and sweet feeling.

The autumn wind caresses Mount Hua, and the light clouds unfold the picture scroll.

At the turn of summer and autumn, the whole mountain presents a gradient color, from green to yellow and then to red.

In the Yuquan Courtyard of Mount Hua, Yue Buqun sat on the main seat, and below him were sixty-four disciples practicing Huashan swordsmanship.

The leader was none other than the third disciple Liang Fa. Beside him were Lu Dayou, Shi Daizi, Tao Jun, and Ying Bailuo. Behind him in a row were the four new disciples Lingming, Lingyue, Lingjian, and Lingqing.

The remaining fifty-six disciples, both male and female, practiced very seriously under the guidance of their senior brothers.

At this time, Yue Buqun stood up and raised one hand. Seeing this, all the disciples stopped immediately.

Yue Buqun said calmly: "To practice martial arts, you have to work hard. What is kung fu?" As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Buqun took Tao Jun's sword with his bare hands and continued: "Kung fu is honed through hard work day and night!"

Then, Yue Buqun thrust out his sword, and with just three moves he knocked down the swords of four disciples.

"In the past two or three years, I have learned some superficial Huashan Kung Fu. Who gave you the courage to use the name of Huashan to bully the villagers at the foot of the mountain?!"

When the four disciples heard this, they were so scared that they immediately knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master, it's unjust! We just ate some of their wine and meat."

"Humph, you still dare to quibble!"

Yue Buqun said in a cold voice: "The village chief came to the mountain in person and told us what you four did. Eating and drinking would be fine, but you actually dared to take advantage of your drunkenness to smash things. Huashan will not tolerate you. Dayou, Bai Luo!"

"Master!"

Lu Dayou and Ying Bailuo came out and bowed.

"Disable their martial arts and send them out of Huashan. If they dare to have revengeful intentions..." Yue Buqun glanced at the four people and said indifferently: "I will let you taste the feeling of being hunted down by the Five Mountains Sword Sects."

The four of them shuddered all over. The Five Mountains Sword Sect's reputation in today's martial arts world was as prominent as the sun and the moon in the sky, which could not be concealed.

Although the Taishan and Songshan sects have entered the imperial court, and the Nanyue Hengshan and Beiyue Hengshan have kept a low profile, this has not diminished the weight of the Five Mountains Sword Sects in the eyes of the people in the martial arts world.

Once an order is issued in the name of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, all the righteous heroes, the green forest heroes, and even the various forces hidden in the dark are willing to give it some face.

Lu Dayou and Ying Bailuo didn't care what these four people thought. They called four disciples and dragged the four people out.

Yue Buqun looked at the other disciples, his voice returned to calmness, and he slowly said: "Our Huashan is a famous and upright sect. As disciples of our sect, you must not only study hard, but also cultivate your morals. Liang Fa, lead the junior brothers and sisters to recite the sect rules ten times."

"Yes, Master!"

Liang Fa stood up and said loudly: "The first thing to avoid is to betray your teacher and ancestors, and to be disrespectful to your elders. The second thing to avoid is to bully the weak and hurt the innocent. The third thing to avoid is to rape and molest women."

At noon, Yue Buqun returned to the backyard of Junzitang and had lunch with his wife and son.

Ning Zhongze saw him come in and said, "Brother, Junior Brother Liu sent a letter through someone."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Fa came in and said, "Master, Master's Wife, there is a message from the capital via carrier pigeon."

"Oh?"

Yue Buqun was slightly stunned. He took the bamboo tube from Liang Fa and said, "What's going on today? So many people are looking for me."

As he said this, he opened the bamboo tube, took out the note inside and looked at it. He was immediately delighted and said happily: "Liang Fa, pass the order down, there will be extra meals in the sect today and tomorrow!"

"What's the good news?" Ning Zhongze asked curiously.

"What a great and happy event! Lingshan gave birth to twin daughters for Zanghua, and both mother and daughter are safe."

Yue Buqun was overjoyed and stroked his beard, saying: "Zang Hua named the two children Ou Ling and Ou Shan, and their nicknames are Ling'er and Shan Shan, hahahaha."

Ning Zhongze took the note from Yue Buqun immediately after hearing it. After reading the contents, he said with tears in his eyes, "Lingshan has never suffered much since she was a child. It must be no small feat for her to have given birth to two children. Senior Brother, I want to go to the capital to see Lingshan."

Yue Buqun was about to agree, but when he thought of Liu Zhengfeng's letter, he said, "Don't worry, Junior Sister. The letter says that Lingshan and her daughter are safe. They should be fine. Let's see what Junior Brother Liu says first, and then make a decision!"

Ning Zhongze immediately handed Liu Zhengfeng's letter to Yue Buqun. After Yue Buqun finished reading it, he couldn't wait to ask, "What's the matter, Junior Brother Liu?"

"Um"

Yue Buqun sighed and said, "Junior Brother Liu's third disciple has brought people to Xi'an to open a Huangzhuang store. Junior Brother Liu hopes that we can help him."

"How come these two things happened at the same time?" Ning Zhongze sighed, looked at Yue Buqun and suggested: "Why don't I take Qing Cao to the capital first? Senior brother is busy here and forget about it, so we can leave later!"

“That’s all I can do.”
