Chapter 27: Re-encountering Tian Boguang

  In the grand hall of Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun told Yue Lingshan and others about the intelligence he gathered from the capital, focusing on the actions of Qingcheng Sect. This made Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan strongly dislike Yu Canghai due to the encounter between Lin Pingzhi and Labor De Nuo at Qingfeng Pavilion.

  Yu Canghai is truly unworthy of being a master, as the leader of a famous sect in Jianghu, he has done such despicable things, plotting to steal others' martial arts and sword manuals, it's really shameful. Ning Zhongze treats Linghu Chong like his own son, while Yu Canghai uses his seniority to bully him, his sneaky attack from behind has made even the easy-going Ning Zhongze extremely dissatisfied.

  "Senior brother, why don't we arrange for someone to inform the Lin family and let them prepare their defenses, lest they fall into the evil clutches of Qingcheng Sect's Yu Canghai."

  "It's Yu Canghai, that old thing. I think it's time to teach him a lesson. He bullied our senior brother and still wants to snatch the Lin family's Devil-Slaying Sword Manual. Let's go support the Lin family together." Yue Lingshan also had deeper grievances against Yu Canghai and the Qingcheng Sect.

  "Your senior brother nearly demolished Qingcheng Sect's Clear Wind Pavilion, and I don't know how many elite disciples of Qingcheng Sect were beaten by him until they were covered in injuries. And you say someone bullied him?" Yue Buqun rarely rolled his eyes.

  "That's what they deserve, who made Yu Canghai lose face and sneak up on him from behind."

  Yue Lingxuan is now more infatuated with Lin Feng, making Lin Feng's head ache like a big bowl. To be honest, Yue Lingxuan is indeed a little beauty, and in terms of appearance, she can rank among the top ten in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. However, as a transmigrator, Lin Feng really doesn't have any feelings for her, perhaps because the lingering emotions left by Dongfang Bubai are too deep.

  These days have been tough for Linghu Chong, as he dodges and weaves around the problem girl Yue Lingshan. The plot of the entire world of Smiling Proud Wanderer is finally starting to unfold, and the white-faced Lin Pingzhi is about to make his appearance. These two famous supporting characters from the original work have had a multitude of disasters and hardships, with a husband-and-wife name but no actual husband-and-wife reality. They are about to start their intense collision, how could he dare to create more branches? What if little Shifu really develops feelings for him, how would he escape then? What about Dongfang Bubai?

  At first, Lin Pingzhi was a young hero who Linghu Chong rather admired, brave and just, upholding righteousness and helping the weak, daring to draw his sword to assist those in distress, an extremely passionate and sentimental person. Alas, fate played tricks on him, with his family possessing a world-shocking secret manual that attracted covetous gazes, yet he was powerless to resist, ultimately leading to the downfall of his household.

  This time, Linghu Chong decided to hide in the dark and observe Lin Pingzhi's character, whether it was as described in the original work. If he had any flaws, he would be a treacherous person, wouldn't that push Little Martial Sister into an abyss?

  "Hengshan Sect's Liu Shixiong has invited all of us Jianghu fellows to attend his Golden Basin Washing Hands Convention in March, and I'll be setting off with your shifu immediately. As for the Lin family side, let De Nuo and Ling Xuan go remind them. "Yue Buqun instructed carefully: "De Nuo is steady and calm, which makes me slightly more at ease, but Ling Xuan has been impulsive and reckless since childhood, and is most likely to stir up trouble. This time on the road, you must think thrice before acting, be cautious and careful, and don't be careless!"

  "Dad, don't worry, I'll be careful and handle this matter with Second Brother. We'll definitely do a great job." Yueling Shan had been staying at Mount Hua Sect for a long time and felt extremely bored. This time, she had the opportunity to go out and naturally agreed readily.

  "Dad, is Big Brother going with us? With him there, that Qingcheng Sect will definitely be scared out of their wits." Yueshen asked.

  "Your senior brother still has things to attend to, so this time let Denuo take you along, it's also a good opportunity for you to gain some experience and broaden your horizons." said Yue Buqun.

  Yue Buqun finished handing over the matter, and Madame Yue Ningzhong handed out several packages that had been packed in advance, one for each person. She then sent them down the mountain. Linghu Chong was stunned, originally luggage could be prepared like this, it's simply amazing, it turns out that Shifu understands Shifu.

  When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Linghu Chong and his two companions parted ways. Lao Denuo took Yue Lingshan to Fujian to inform Lin Zhennan's family about the sneak attack by Di Qianhai, while Linghu Chong had something even more important to attend to - according to his speculation, Dongfang Bubai would soon be descending from Hei Mu Cliff again, and he needed to cultivate his feelings.

  Now that Lauderno has broken through to become a top-notch master in the Jianghu, coupled with his mature and experienced handling of matters, he will not have any problems dealing with ordinary Jianghu figures, so there is no need for him to secretly protect them for the time being.

  Yue Lingshan was naturally very displeased with Linghu Cong's solo departure, and she used all the coquettish and playful means at her disposal, but Linghu Cong couldn't be fooled, for there was another woman of destiny waiting for him to deal with.

  According to the original work, there is another key person in the intersection of Linghu Cong and Dongfang Bubai, that is, the notorious flower thief, the new version of Tian Boguang who travels alone for thousands of miles. As long as this kid is found, the probability of meeting Dongfang will be much higher.

  Linghu Cong once had a drink with Tian Boguang at the largest art academy "Like Water Years" at the foot of Mount Hua, where Tian got extremely drunk and revealed many true thoughts. This allowed Linghu Cong to gain a deep understanding of this postmodern female researcher's temperament, habits, case-solving rules, and office location.

  No one would have thought that this infamous flower thief in the jianghu, would actually be a man of substance and refinement. Except for the initial robbery at the hayloft, the subsequent crime scenes were increasingly upscale, gradually developing from bedrooms to wine houses, and eventually to famous scenic spots. Moreover, he also had strict requirements for objective conditions such as time and weather: no operations during strong winds or rain, no operations on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and no operations when in a bad mood. Only when it was a beautiful day with a clear sky and a pleasant mood would he engage in discussions about life philosophy with beauties at a scenic spot.

  "It's here, the scenery is beautiful and picturesque, Tian Boguang, this female research master should be quite satisfied with this place." Linghu Chong finally found this vague place based on his impression from the original work, and began to guard the tree and wait for the rabbit.

  On the third day, Linghu Cong finally heard a familiar voice.

  "Wow! The scenery here is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are picturesque, and the sky is clear for thousands of miles. It's truly a masterpiece of nature!" A voice paused for a moment, then continued: "Hehe, beauty, don't be impatient, brother will be right there to pamper you."

  "Oh dear, sir, don't be like that! I can be a wife to you!" A soft and delicate voice cried out.

  "Is that so? Then why did I see you with your husband's friend yesterday?" The man sneered, "Want to be with me instead?"

  "Ugh, stop it!"

  "Haha! When a woman says no, it means yes, you're really naughty!"

  ……

  "What a shameful thing to do in broad daylight! You're just like a pair of adulterers!" Linghu Chong cursed under his breath, and with a light step, he floated away from the scene, hiding behind a large tree to wait for the two to finish their business.
