The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 81

Xu Dazui had already released his grip on the girl's hand, and the girl broke free and ran towards the back room.

"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble on my Sichuan territory!"

Jia Lao Er looked at Jiang Ning with shock and anger and said angrily.

Besides the two of them, Jiang Ning was the only other person in the lobby.

At this moment, Jiang Ning had already stood up and was looking at them. After hearing Jia Lao Er's words, Jiang Ning did not speak, but just looked at them expressionlessly.

"Jia Lao Er, this man's origins are unknown. How dare he cause trouble in Sichuan! Attack!"

The hand that had been pierced by the chopsticks was in excruciating pain. Enraged, Xu Dazui wanted to rush towards Jiang Ning.

But he was stopped by Jia Lao Er the next second.

Jia Lao Er looked at Jiang Ning, his pupils contracting sharply.

He remembered.

This person is the Huashan Sect disciple who went toe-to-toe with his master Yu Canghai in Hengshan City last year.

What are you doing in Sichuan?!

Upon recognizing Jiang Ning, Jia Lao Er's anger vanished instantly, replaced by a mixture of surprise and rage as he asked...

Jiang Ning laughed: "I said last year that I would visit your sect again, and now I'm here."

Chapter 124: There is no other way

Hearing the conversation between the two, it seemed that Jia Lao Er knew Jiang Ning, and judging from his tone, Jia Lao Er was very wary. Xu Da Zui also realized that the problem was not simple. His anger subsided slightly, and he asked.

"Who is this guy?"

Jia Lao Er was in a panic at this moment. After hearing his words, he absentmindedly replied in a low voice, "He is Jiang Ning of the Huashan Sect."

"what?"

Xu Dazui was startled, and his anger vanished instantly.

Jiang Ning's reputation was renowned within the Qingcheng Sect; everyone knew him.

At a young age, he was already on par with his master, Yu Canghai, and even embarrassed Yu Canghai in Hengshan City, ruining their long-planned scheme. After returning to Qingcheng Mountain, Yu Canghai harbored deep hatred for Jiang Ning, and it is said that Yu Canghai would call out Jiang Ning's name even in his sleep.

“I said last year that I would visit your sect again, but I never expected to see this scene again and hear your disciples speaking disrespectfully to my master and the Huashan Sect.”

Jiang Ning said as he walked toward them.

As Jiang Ning walked towards them, Jia Lao Er and Xu Da Zui subconsciously backed away. Despite being two tough men, they were forced to retreat step by step by a young boy.

This left the girl hiding in the kitchen and the previous waiter looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What...what do you want to do!"

As Jiang Ning drew ever closer, Jia Lao Er cried out in alarm.

Jiang Ning glanced at him, then at Xu Dazui, who had shady hands and feet, and shook his head.

"Dishonest and deserving of death."

Upon hearing his words, the two looked horrified.

"You dare to attack my fellow disciples of the righteous path?"

Jiang Ning sneered: "Is what you just did what the righteous path should do? When you spoke rudely to my Huashan Sect, was that what you should have said to your fellow righteous disciples?"

The two looked at Jiang Ning in horror.

Jia Lao Er knew Jiang Ning's skills and knew that they were not capable of dealing with him. Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, he immediately wanted to run away and quickly told Yu Canghai about Jiang Ning's arrival in Sichuan.

Bang!

Before Jiang Ning could even react, Jia Lao Er was kicked to the ground, clutching his chest and rolling around with a ferocious expression.

"I didn't say you could leave."

Jiang Ning glanced at him and said coldly.

Upon seeing this, Xu Dazui's chest heaved violently, and his pupils widened as he stared at Jiang Ning.

He hadn't even seen how Jiang Ning made his move; Jia Lao Er seemed to have fallen out of thin air.

With just this one move, he realized that Jiang Ning was not someone he could handle.

"I...I was wrong."

Xu Dazui's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

“I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have spoken ill of the Huashan Sect. I will change. I will definitely change.”

Xu Dazui kept saying things to soften his tone.

But Jiang Ning simply shook his head.

"It seems like everyone tells me to change, but how can people like you change?"

There is no other way.

Xu Dazui looked terrified upon hearing this. When he saw Jiang Ning walking towards him, he tried to back away, but there was a wall behind him, and he had nowhere to hide.

In a fit of extreme terror, Xu Dazui hardened his expression, took out a dagger from his pocket, and stabbed straight at the target.

Seeing his seemingly dazed actions, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged. He kicked Xu Dazui's wrist, and with a crack, Xu Dazui's wrist was instantly broken.

Jiang Ning came to his side, lifted the back of his neck, and prepared to drag him out to kill him, so as to avoid bloodshed in the inn.

Seeing Jiang Ning's actions, Xu Dazui struggled frantically, but to no avail. Jiang Ning held him firmly, preventing him from escaping, and he was taken away by Jiang Ning just like that.

Jiang Ning dragged him all the way to the outside of the inn and headed towards a less crowded area.

The people who had heard the commotion were all watching this scene as if it were commonplace. Only a young girl mixed in with the crowd seemed to be frightened by the scene and hurriedly left.

After a while.

Ah!

A shrill scream sounded.

The girl and the waiter, who had witnessed the whole thing in the kitchen, looked at each other, speechless. At that moment, an old man was beside them. When he saw the two of them trying to leave, the old man stopped them and told them to stay put until everyone outside had left.

Hearing the screams outside, Jia Lao Er, who was still writhing on the ground in pain, was terrified. He tried to leave despite the excruciating chest pain, but Jiang Ning blocked his way as soon as he reached the gate.

Jiang Ning watched him walk into the inn step by step, and Jia Lao Er subconsciously stepped back.

"No...don't kill me."

Jia Lao Er knelt down and begged for mercy.

Jiang Ning glanced at him briefly, then pulled up a stool and sat down.

“It doesn’t matter if we kill one less lackey like you. Go back to Qingcheng Mountain and tell Master Yu that the Jiangning Sect of Huashan Sect will be visiting tomorrow. If Master Yu doesn’t give me an explanation, don’t blame me for disregarding our friendship as fellow righteous sects.”

He had thought Jiang Ning would kill him too, but after hearing those words, Jia Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief as if he had escaped a calamity. However, when he heard Jiang Ning's next words, a look of humiliation appeared on his face.

Both the Huashan Sect and the Qingcheng Sect are righteous sects. Jiang Ning's treatment of him and his disrespectful remarks to the Qingcheng Sect have made him extremely angry.

But Jiang Ning's strength was so great that he was filled with despair. Despite his anger, Jia Lao Er dared not say anything and could only stand up and silently prepare to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Ning called out to him.

Jia Lao Er froze, thinking that Jiang Ning had changed his mind.

"Settle your bill for the meal and drinks."

Upon hearing this, Jia Lao Er didn't know what to say. He took out some loose silver from his pocket, placed it on the table, and left in a hurry without waiting for the shopkeeper to give him change.

A while after he left, there was a commotion in the kitchen. The waiter and the girl came out, led by an old man.

"Thank you, hero."

The old man made a move to kneel down before Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning stopped him.

"Those two are from the Qingcheng Sect, did you know that?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ning speak, the old man didn't know how to respond. The shop assistant said, "We know about the Qingcheng Sect, but we don't recognize these two people."

Jiang Ning looked at him and asked, "Have you met any other Qingcheng disciples?"

The waiter nodded: "I've seen it before."

Jiang Ning asked again, "Are they all like those two from before?"

The waiter thought about it carefully and said, "They're much better than those Green Gang members."

"The Green Gang?"

Jiang Ning asked, "What is this for?"

The waiter looked troubled upon hearing this, as did the old man.

Seeing their reaction, Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow: "Is it inconvenient to say? Or are you afraid to say it?"

"We dare not say."

The waiter said with a bitter face.

Seeing their reaction, Jiang Ning didn't say anything more and said, "Prepare a guest room. I'll stay one night and then leave."

"Alright, sir, please follow me."

The waiter nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and led Jiang Ning upstairs.

Chapter 125: Isn't he supposed to be a very righteous person?

This inn has only two floors; the first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the guest rooms.

The waiter led Jiang Ning to one of the rooms, and after pushing open the door, he said with a big smile, "Please come in, sir."

Jiang Ning went inside, placed his luggage on the table, and the waiter left.

That evening, there was a knock on the door, and the girl from before came in carrying food.

"Sir, please have a meal."

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow: "I didn't order any food."

The girl said softly, "It was my father who treated you to this meal. Thank you for saving me during the day."

Although the Qingcheng disciple named Xu Dazui only grabbed her wrist and hadn't made any further moves, it was enough to frighten her. She was very grateful to Jiang Ning for helping her, and the old man was also very grateful to Jiang Ning.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded and said nothing more. But as the girl was about to leave, Jiang Ning suddenly asked, "The Green Gang you mentioned during the day, is it a gang or something else?"

The girl, who was about to leave, trembled upon hearing Jiang Ning's words. She slowly turned around to look at Jiang Ning, her expression somewhat conflicted.

Seeing that she looked the same way, Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask, "Does the Green Gang scare everyone here?"

The girl nodded repeatedly.

"ok, I get it."

Jiang Ning didn't make things difficult for her and let her leave.

After eating, Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the bed and began practicing his martial arts.

……

Inside an inn.

A girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old knocked on a door.

"come in."

A woman's delicate voice rang out from inside the room.

The girl pushed open the door and saw a beautiful woman sitting at the table, holding a thin book in her hand.

The woman had very long eyelashes and bright, expressive eyes; she was very beautiful.

"Sister Yingying."
