Chapter Fourteen: Cherish Time and Pursue Knowledge

  "Beat them, beat them hard! You bunch of good-for-nothings, let you practice your skills and learn your lessons well. You're so naughty and mischievous, how many masters have you driven away?!" Yue Buqun thundered in the great hall of Mount Hua, "Continue beating these forgetful rascals, they've gone mad!"

  Inside the grand hall, Linghu Cong, Yue Lingshan and Lu Dahu were among those who were pinning down and spanking their fellow Huashan disciples, with Labour De Nuo leading the team.

  The disciples of Mount Hua who were being beaten, each and every one of them let out ear-piercing howls, but including Linghu Chong, several of the leaders somehow managed to shout in rhythm. Lu Dahu was shouting while raising his eyebrows and winking, while Yue Lingshan was even more excessive, calling out with such excitement and enthusiasm that she almost burst into song.

  Yue Buqun, this old master of the world who is unparalleled in his cunning and laughter, how could he not see that the three people had something hidden under their buttocks, but pretended to be unaware, just going through the motions.

  The second brother Lauderno also understood, his hands were very decisive, but the performance of these guys was really too bad, who would be beaten like a "horse killing chicken", and shouted out loud.

  Madam Yu Ningzhong was a straightforward person, watching the many disciples being beaten, she couldn't help but plead with Yue Buqun: "Elder brother, this beating has gone on long enough, they're all just children, it's almost enough, they already know their mistakes."

  "This is to let them remember the lesson and not forget the pain, so they won't do it again next time." Yu Buqun said helplessly.

  "Master, those Confucian scholars really have no level at all. They only teach us to memorize and recite, but don't explain the reasoning behind it." Seeing that Yue Buqun was about to give an order, Linghu Chong hastily pleaded with him, "And that old man who just left is even worse! When asked how rouge is made or how farmers plow fields, he didn't know. All he knows is to doze off, sleep and read erotic novels. Master, that old guy is absolutely a hypocrite! You don't know, his 'Historical Records' is actually a disguised version of an erotic art guidebook!"

  "Shut up!" Yue Buqun thought of that so-called human body art guidance book and couldn't help but turn green with rage. Looking at his wife beside him, Jia Fei's face was also flushed with shame, and she hastily interrupted.

  "This matter will end here, Chong'er, Ling Shan, Da You, the three of you immediately go down the mountain to the market and buy some daily necessities back," Yue Buqun said to the three, "If it's done well, it will be considered that you have redeemed your merits. If not, then two crimes will be punished together, and all will be punished to face the wall on Si Guai Cliff for a year."

  "Yes, Master!" Seeing that Yue Lingxuan and Lu Dahai were about to get a good deal, Linghu Chong hastily agreed. With the silver in hand, the three of them excitedly headed down the mountain.

  "Alright, stop pretending. Let's be normal." The three of them limped and staggered to the middle of the mountain before Linghu Cong reminded them.

  "Haha, as expected, Little Sister is clever and had anticipated Master would hit us, so we were well-prepared." Lu Dahu pulled out a small pillow from his pants and exclaimed in relief.

  "That's right, I'm the most intelligent and beautiful genius girl of Huashan School!" Yue Lingxuan proudly said to Lin Pingzhi and Linghu Chong, then suddenly jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Finally can go down the mountain to have fun!"

  "You two innocent kids really think Old Yue can't see through your little tricks!" Linghu Cong shook his head helplessly.

  "Lu Xiang'er, you take Little Martial Sister to Zhou's Rice Shop in the market first. Big Brother will attend to some matters and we'll meet at Zhou's Rice Shop two hours later." Linghu Cong said to the two of them.

  "No way, Master Brother, you're thinking of abandoning us again and sneaking off to have fun on your own!" Yu Ling Shan said with a pout.

  According to the plot, Dongfang Bubai seems to be about to make an appearance. How can things be done with two burdens? It's better to go alone and take a step first in "The Flowing Years".

  "Master Brother has something important to attend to, you two go ahead first, Master Brother will definitely arrive on time." Linghu Chong shouted loudly, and with a flash of his unparalleled lightness skill, he vanished from the eyes of Yue Lingshan and the others in an instant.

  When he arrived at the town, it was already late in the evening, but the market was still very lively. Linghu Cong walked alone on the main street, his heart racing with excitement, as he was about to meet the woman of his destiny. With his current cultivation, he couldn't help but feel a slight tremble in his body.

  "Hey, where's 'Shuishui Nianhua' going? I'm going there to study and discuss the issue of human inheritance with the female scholars of 'Shuishui Nianhua'." Linghu Chong reached out and grabbed a middle-aged man with a suspicious look and a short stature who was passing by his side, asking abruptly.

  "Hero spare my life, I have an elderly mother and a young child at home..."

  This man, who looked like a passerby to Linghu Chong, suddenly revealed an extremely terrified expression, as if he had been caught in the act of adultery, and couldn't speak clearly, kneeling down to beg for mercy as soon as he opened his mouth.

  "Damn it, you son of a bitch! I asked you how to get to the 'Academy of Arts' Sui Shui Nian Hua, and you give me a deadpan expression?!" Leng Huachung, anxious as fire, encountered this extreme scumbag and couldn't help but grab his collar and curse loudly: "Look at your thieving eyes and lewd appearance, it's obvious you're someone who often goes to that place to 'do research', what are you pretending for? If you don't speak clearly, I'll break your writing brush!"

  "Yes, yes, the building with big red lanterns hanging in front is Si Shui Nian Hua. Sir, you just walk along this small road, then turn left, left again, right, left and right, and you'll be there."

  Ignoring the pain of his butt that was almost shattered into eight pieces, this lecherous man who was determined by Linghu Chong to often go to "Si Shui Nian Hua" for research, scrambled up in a hurry, and a familiar tongue twister flowed out effortlessly, then he turned around and slipped away quickly like a dragon whirlwind.

  "Damn it, this son of a bitch is running so fast, I wonder if he's been caught cheating with someone else's wife and is being chased to death!" Linghu Cong cursed. Just now, he was confused by the sly man's series of left and right turns, and just as he came back to his senses and wanted to ask more questions, the sly man had already slipped away without a trace.

  Forget it, I'll just ask someone else. A place with such a big name must be in the most prosperous area of this small town. Linghu Chong thought to himself.

  "Sister, excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the largest art academy 'Silk Road Youth' around here?"

  "Damn it! You're despicable!"

  "Excuse me, auntie, I'm being a bit presumptuous, but do you happen to know where the largest human dynamics academy is located around here?"

  "Young master, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? It's really hard to understand!"

  "Hey, little brother, do you know where 'Silk Road', the place known as the sacred land of human heritage and communication, is? I want to go there to study!"

  "Uncle, are you sick? I'll take you to see a doctor!"
