Chapter 85: What should be done?
"What are you looking for?"
Seeing Li Che crouching down and groping around, Feng Buping couldn't help but ask a question.
"Who knows, there might be some kind of martial arts manual."
"So all those palm techniques, fist techniques, leg techniques... that you mentioned all originated from this?"
Li Che:
'
After searching for a long time without finding anything, Li Che stood up and said in a serious tone, "Old Feng, this is where you're wrong."
The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade; those of us who practice martial arts should understand the principle of applying knowledge to other situations.
Although the Songshan Sect is despicable, its martial arts repertoire is indeed substantial.
Even if we don't learn it, just knowing its martial arts style will give us a 10% better chance of winning if we encounter it in the future, right?
Feng Buping was speechless; it did indeed make a lot of sense.
After searching Lu Lianrong's body, Feng Buping finally couldn't help but ask, "What's next?"
"Take the body and bury it at the bottom of the cliff!"
An old man and a young boy carried the two corpses away from the Medicine King Temple, on their shoulders and in their hands.
The cicadas began to chirp again, the faint smell of blood dissipated, a night wind swept by, and the shaky temple gate finally gave way, collapsing to the ground and extinguishing the dying bonfire.
Half past midnight, the two once again set foot on the path of Mount Hua, this time heading uphill.
"I will arrange for someone to deliver food to the Cliff of Contemplation tomorrow."
"Let Linghu Chong come."
"It's difficult; the rules and regulations of the sect dictate that punishment is unavoidable."
"There's a reason for this; what does it have to do with him?"
Li Che glanced at him. "Then why didn't you say so earlier? Failing to distinguish friend from foe, right from wrong, and ignoring the injuries of your disciples is a grave offense!"
"How should it be punished?"
Li Che smiled faintly, "Old Feng, you wouldn't be hoping that Linghu Chong will be expelled from the sect and then become your disciple, would you?"
Don't worry about it. I've already planned how to arrange things for the people.
"Since he is the senior disciple of Mount Hua, isn't he blocking your way? Why not hand him over to me?"
"I forgot to tell you, I am already a direct disciple of the Huashan Sect. You may wish to pass on my sword skills, but not now!"
Feng Buping paused slightly, remained silent for a while, and then said, "He is suited to learn swordsmanship, and I do indeed have this intention."
But after meeting Uncle Feng today, I realize that my Gale Sword technique is indeed unsuitable for him, at least not right now.
Although the two were decades apart in age, they were talking as if they were peers, and neither felt it was inappropriate.
They did not receive any commission from Cong Erze.
Li Che didn't bother to mention it.
Since Uncle Feng didn't say anything, Feng Buping didn't need to either.
Moreover, the three had not seen each other for many years. They were brought together by Zuo Lengchan, but were outmatched and killed. They had no one to blame but themselves.
When they reached the fork in the road halfway up the mountain, the two did not exchange a single word, but turned and went their separate ways, one going north and the other south.
At this time of day, Jade Maiden Peak would have already turned off its lights and gone to bed.
Li Che didn't knock on the door and jumped directly into the courtyard, only to find that the Zhengqi Hall was still lit up.
He walked over, but when he got closer, he saw Yue Lingshan curled up in a chair, dozing off.
Li Che felt a warmth in his heart and unconsciously slowed his pace to move closer.
I wanted to carry her back to her room to rest, but my arm had barely touched her waist.
"who!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, a gust of wind arrived, and her slender hand was grabbed by a large hand before she could even exert any force.
"It's me. What time is it? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Yue Lingshan felt relieved and rubbed her eyes with her free hand. "It's all your fault. You said you'd talk to me later, but who knew you'd come back so late."
She sniffed, but caught a whiff of blood. Suddenly, she jumped off the chair and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?"
Was it that old guy who ambushed you?
Uncle Feng, really, why bother saving such a scoundrel?
Let me see it.
Li Chejing listened to her rambling complaints for a long time, and before she could finish speaking, he wrapped his arms around her waist. Perhaps his arms were a little too strong, but Li felt that... the elasticity was quite good.
"No, this, this is the Hall of Righteousness."
At this moment, Miss Yue was certain that Senior Brother Li was perfectly healthy and unharmed. On the contrary, she herself was flushed and burning with fever, even more so than when she had typhoid fever.
"Shall we go for a walk?"
"Huh? It's so late... Where are we going?"
"Cough cough—!"
The two were startled and straightened up, the movements completed in one smooth motion.
Li Che was extremely embarrassed. Who would have thought that at this hour, his master's wife was still awake?
As expected, lust is a double-edged sword. Being too focused, even someone with his strong internal energy lost his vigilance.
Ning Zhongze walked out from the back hall, glanced at the two of them with a smile, and even had a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"Mother, you two talk. Shan'er is sleepy. Go, go to sleep."
Before anyone could respond, Yue Lingshan lowered her head and ran out. It was clear that Junior Sister Yue had been practicing her martial arts diligently lately, and her agility had greatly improved.
"Ahem~ Madam, you're still awake?"
"Alright, your master and I have known about you and Shan'er for a long time. Shan'er has never suffered much since she was a child, so she has a bit of a temper."
"In the future, Che'er, you should be more accommodating to her. Your master's wife will also remind her."
Li Che bowed respectfully and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Master's wife, Junior Sister will not suffer in the future."
Ning Zhong nodded with a smile.
"You want to ask about Feng Buping, right, Master's wife?"
"What is Uncle Feng's attitude?" Ning Zhongze frowned slightly and sighed, "Feng Buping is obsessed with the way of the sword. Among his peers, he has the highest talent and is the most devoted."
To be fair, even your master would have had to put in a lot of effort to defend against the sword move he used today.
Thankfully, Che'er, you arrived in time, otherwise...
'
Li Che knew what she was worried about, but instead of mentioning Feng Buping, he talked about his experience in Fuzhou.
He also emphasized the reform of Huashan Mountain.
"Master's wife, the reason I have only returned now is because I went down the mountain with Feng Buping to kill people! Lu Bai of Songshan and Lu Lianrong of Hengshan!"
Now that Grandmaster Feng is acting as guarantor, I'm considering letting him live in seclusion on the Cliff of Contemplation. With me and Grandmaster Feng here, this person definitely won't be able to cause any trouble.
Perhaps, it's not impossible for them to become a valuable asset to Mount Hua!
Ning Zhongze sat in the chair, pondered for a long time, and nodded silently, saying, "Che'er, you have a long-term vision and your ideas are appropriate. Since your master has decided to make you a personal disciple of Huashan, he naturally approves of your strategy."
However, my senior brother's obsession with the struggle for sword energy runs deep, making it difficult for him to stand on the same side as Feng Buping.
I understand, Lao Yue needs some reassurance.
"Master's wife, I estimate that Master will return in the next couple of days. I'm thinking of going to talk to Uncle-Master Feng tomorrow to see if he would be willing to see Master."
Ning Zhongze's eyes lit up, her worries lessened considerably, and her words became much more relaxed, "If I could meet Uncle Feng, that would be the best."
Before he could finish speaking, he asked worriedly, "Your eldest brother... what does Che'er think we should do?"
Li Che was also somewhat worried.
In his view, there was nothing wrong with learning the Sword Sect's martial arts, and that he had done a good deed by taking action in anger for his master's wife.
But he was angry that he was the first to arrive, and that even though he saw his fellow disciple was seriously injured, he didn't distinguish between friend and foe!
Not to mention Old Yue, even he, Li, cannot tolerate this!
Today, the disciples of Mount Hua should be discerning, distinguishing between close and distant relatives. Without unity of purpose, it will be difficult to defend against enemies.
After much thought, since beatings and kneeling as punishment had lost their effect on Master Linghu, the only option was to... find another way to toughen him up.
Mr. Li still wanted to give Master Linghu a chance.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Ning Zhongze comforted him instead: "Let's talk about this when your master comes back. Chong'er... is not a bad person, but the sect has its rules. From now on, when you are in charge, Che'er, you can't be as lenient as your master used to be."
Li Che was moved by what he heard, bowed respectfully, and saw Ning Zhongze off.
Ning Zhongze is not the only one whose mindset has changed.
All the disciples witnessed what happened today. Although they didn't say anything, they harbored some resentment towards their senior brother.
If the Huashan Sect Leader falls into the hands of the eldest brother, how should the disciples of the sect conduct themselves if they encounter such a situation again in the future?
Even Linghu Tiegan and Lu Hou'er were tossing and turning, unable to sleep. They sat up and lay down several times, but ultimately did not step out of their rooms.
