Chapter 79 Huashan Master and Disciple
Huashan North Peak is surrounded by cliffs, crowned by clouds above and connected to the earth below. It stands tall and unique, like a cloud platform, so it is also called Yuntai Peak.

At this moment, on a rock on Yuntai Peak, there was a unkempt man lying, reeking of alcohol and looking drunk.

This casual-looking man, however, had a face with sharp eyebrows and thin lips, a handsome appearance that was rare in the martial arts world.

This is Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect and former leader of the younger generation of the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

At this time, a young man with a little monkey squatting on his shoulder climbed up the rock in a few steps, then pushed the drunkard and said, "Big Brother, wake up! There is news about the little sister!"

"Ok?"

Linghu Chong woke up dazedly, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Lu Hou'er, what did you say?"

"I said, there is news about our junior sister!" Lu Dayou leaned close to Linghu Chong's ear and shouted.

"Oh!"

Linghu Chong scratched his ears, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I heard it!"

Then, he stood up, stretched himself in the mountain breeze, and continued to ask, "Where is that junior sister? Let's go pick her up!"

"In Hengshan County, at the home of Uncle Liu Zhengfeng." Lu Dayou sat aside and said with a smile.

"Huh? Hengshan County is in Huguang. How did Junior Sister go to such a far place?" Linghu Chong's eyes gradually became clear, and he asked with some confusion.

"I don't know, but someone knows." Lu Dayou pointed to the Yuquan Courtyard below and said, "Two guests came today, saying they were from the Beggars' Sect and the Hengshan Sect. They came to deliver an invitation and brought a letter from my junior sister."

"I'll go and take a look!" Linghu Chong suddenly became interested and jumped from the rock to the stone path below.

"Senior Brother, wait for me!" Lu Da was shocked. It was easy for him to come up, but it was a bit difficult to go down.

Fortunately, Linghu Chong was standing on the stone path and stretched out his hand to him: "Monkey, use Qinggong, it's easy."

With the encouragement of his senior brother, Lu Dayou pushed off his feet and landed on the stone path two meters away. However, he lost his balance and began to fall backwards.

Fortunately, Linghu Chong intervened in time and pulled him back.

The two of them went down the mountain together and walked into the Gentleman Hall of Yuquanyuan. They saw a man and a woman sitting in the guest seats. The master's wife Ning Zhongze was reading a letter in her hand, and the master Yue Buqun was looking at the invitation.

When the two men came in, Yue Buqun looked up at the cynical Linghu Chong, and a feeling of anger rose in his heart.

Why are other people’s disciples so competitive?
Your disciple is obviously talented, but he is lazy?

However, since there were outsiders present, Yue Buqun did not directly scold the two, but calmly introduced them to Wen Caile of Hengshan and Gou Buzhui of the Beggar Gang: "This is my eldest disciple Linghu Chong, and sixth disciple Lu Dayou."

"Chong'er, Dayou, these two disciples of Master Lu from the Hengshan Sect, Wen Caile, and our friend from the Beggars' Sect, Gou Buzhui."

Dog. Don't chase?

Lu Dayou almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Fortunately, Linghu Chong reacted quickly and blocked Lu Dayou in one step. He bowed and said, "Junior Sister Wen, I won't chase you."

"Senior Brother Linghu, Senior Brother Lu." Wen Caile stood up and bowed in return.

Gou Buzhui's face turned cold and he sat on the chair and nodded as a response.

Linghu Chong smiled and pulled Lu Dayou to sit on the other side of the living room. At this time, Ning Zhongze had finished reading the letter from Yue Lingshan. She said with some joy: "My little girl is naturally delicate. It is great for her to learn needlework and read books from nephew Liu Qing."

Linghu Chong was stunned after hearing this. His innocent, romantic, lively and active little sister would actually sit down to learn needlework and read?

This is truly a strange story!
Wen Caile smiled and said, "Sister Yue has a pure personality. Uncle Liu and his family all like her very much."

"It just caused trouble for Junior Brother Liu."

After hearing this, Yue Buqun couldn't help but stroke his beard and said, "We are lucky to have cultivated a pillar of the court like Tanhua and let him teach Lingshan!"

Is this the Tanhua that he understood?

Linghu Chong looked at Lu Dayou with some confusion.

Lu Dayou hurriedly moved closer and explained in a low voice: "Senior Brother Ou Zanghua, a disciple of Master Liu of the Hengshan Sect, passed the imperial examination this year and won the third place. The news has spread throughout the martial arts world."

Linghu Chong scratched his head and felt a surge of admiration for his senior brother Ou Zanghua, whom he had never met before. He felt that practicing sword skills was hard enough, but he could actually find time to take the imperial examination and become a third place winner. That was truly amazing!

I just don't know how good his swordsmanship is?
How about your alcohol tolerance?
After the two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries, Yue Buqun said, "In that case, Junior Brother Wen and Friend Buzhui will stay in Huashan for two more days. Let's pack up and head to Hengshan together!"

"Everything is up to Uncle Yue (Mr. Yue)!" Wen Caile and Gou Bushui responded at the same time, agreeing to Yue Buqun's proposal.

That night, Yue Buqun stood in front of his desk and calmly wrote the four characters "沾臫起鹤".

Ning Zhongze walked over, looked at her husband's calligraphy, and asked, "Brother, are you envious of Junior Brother Liu?"

"I'm not just envious of Junior Brother Liu. Even Mr. Mo Da is a little envious." Yue Buqun sighed, looked at Ning Zhongze and asked: "Junior Sister, am I really not suitable to be a master? Otherwise, why?"

“Brother, you’ve done very well.” Ning Zhongze held Yue Buqun’s arm and said softly, “There are only three geniuses like Ou Zanghua in the world. It’s a great fortune for us in the Five Mountains Sword Sect to have found one.”

"Ugh"

Yue Buqun sighed again, then smiled with a sense of ease, and said, "The one who is most panicked right now should be Senior Brother Zuo from Songshan Sect. Hengshan's chaotic move has given us a chance to catch our breath."

This moment was also the most relaxed time for Yue Buqun since he became the head of the sect.

Do you, Zuo Lengchan, want to merge your factions?
Let’s ask the Tanhua Lang first if he agrees!
"This is what is meant by 'blessings lie within misfortunes, and misfortunes lie within blessings.'" Ning Zhongze also laughed and said gently.

Yue Buqun looked out the window, wondering what he should do next.

As for whether Hengshan will follow the example of Songshan and ask for a merger?

Yue Buqun was not worried about this, because Mr. Mo Da of the Hengshan School was a free-spirited person and he had no intention of doing such a thankless task.

Liu Zhengfeng has always been known as a scholar and has no interest in merging schools.

As for Lu Lianrong, he may have some ideas, but he cannot influence Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng, and ultimately he will not amount to anything.

So, is it time to recruit more disciples and expand Huashan?

When Yue Buqun thought that the revival of Huashan was just around the corner, he became excited and immediately discussed it with his junior sister.

Ning Zhongze said that there was no need to rush this matter. He went to Hengshan to attend the gathering and find out what each family said. It would not be too late to come back and make a decision.
　There is one more chapter, which will be out later. If it is too late, you can go to bed first and read it tomorrow~
