Chapter 92 Old Yue: Why don't you just abdicate!
In the Hall of Righteousness at Mount Hua, Old Yue sat on a somewhat unfamiliar wide chair.
The teacup in his left hand had been sitting there for a long time, the boiling water gradually cooling down, and his ever-present folding fan was casually tossed on the table.
He held a newly bound, thin booklet in his left hand and turned the pages one by one with his right.
He looked very closely, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Huashan Disciple Promotion System and Reward/Punishment Scheme"
Some Thoughts on Differentiated Instruction
Huashan's Strategies for Increasing Revenue and Reducing Costs
The Construction of Jianghu News Network
Such content is well-organized and the explanations are appropriately detailed, showing that Mr. Li has put his heart into it.
Ning Zhongze was beside him. After Lao Yue finished reading a book, he handed it to her. She was so engrossed in reading it that she even forgot to change Lao Yue's tea.
After a while, Lao Yue picked up the cool tea and drank it all in one gulp.
Ning Zhongze asked in surprise, "Che'er's strategies are very thoughtful and appropriate, showing his care. Senior brother, why do I see you..."
Not happy?
Or perhaps I'm just blind and haven't noticed the problem?
"Problem? There is definitely a problem!" Yue Buqun shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The problem is that the kid has gone into seclusion, so who will take care of these things?"
I think he's just going there to slack off!
After thirty years of diligent practice of the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, don't you understand? Although Che'er has great talent, he has reached a bottleneck at this level.
"How could a breakthrough be achieved in just a few months?"
Ning Zhongze was speechless upon hearing this. Who exactly is the leader of the Huashan Sect?
Old Yue thought to himself, "How come I never realized before that the position of sect leader was so troublesome? Sigh... the title of 'Reviving Patriarch of Mount Hua' sounds impressive, but it's definitely not an easy job..."
""
The three walked side by side on the westward path leading up Jade Maiden Peak.
Li Che glanced at Huo Shiyu with a hint of disdain.
There was no one in sight in the mountains, and it was an elegant affair for a man and a woman to walk together. But this girl insisted on coming along, and Yue Lingshan gladly agreed.
Redundant!
Li Che shifted his gaze and looked up again. To the west, Lotus Peak soared into the clouds, and the giant rock on its summit, shaped like a lotus petal, was faintly visible.
This retreat was chosen to take place on this peak.
He originally wanted to go to the North Peak, after all, it was the place where the destinies of two lifetimes intersected.
Although the North Peak is the lowest, it is surrounded by sheer cliffs, making it very inconvenient to deliver food.
The two girls chatted and laughed behind them, saying they were there to see off their senior brother, but it seemed more like they were sisters traveling together.
"Ahem~ Junior Sister Huo, you've just returned to the mountain and you've already fallen behind in your studies. It's time to practice martial arts now, so hurry back or you'll be scolded if you're late."
Huo Shiyu didn't catch the deeper meaning in his words at all, and said in return, "No, my master and mistress guide me in my training every day at Qianjin Manor. They are much more diligent than those at Mount Hua."
What an oblivious and clueless girl!
"Junior sister, I recently created a whip technique that would be very suitable for you. Would you like to learn it?"
"Really? When will you teach me, Senior Brother?" Huo Shiyu's eyes lit up, then she asked doubtfully, "Senior Brother, do your eyes hurt?"
Li Che:
'
""
Since things have come to this point, that's the only option left!
Li Che suddenly leaned closer, his expression grave, and whispered, "Junior sister, I didn't actually lie to you before."
"Huh? What?"
"Our Mount Hua really is haunted, right here on Lotus Peak, especially at night... Hey, Junior Sister Huo, why are you running away before I finished speaking?"
"Big...Senior Brother, let Senior Sister Yue see you off. I...I have to go back to practice my sword now."
In a short while, Huo Shiyu disappeared from sight. Judging from her movements, it seems that the rumors about her rigorous training at Qianjin Manor were true.
Li Che felt a surge of joy.
Yue Lingshan glanced at him, then blushed instantly and murmured softly, "You're already the senior disciple, yet you still act like this."
Li Che smiled without saying a word, leaned over and took her soft hand, leading her westward, but walking more slowly than before, his body drawing ever closer.
Time flies in the mountains; half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Che sat cross-legged on a flat rock facing the cliff on the east side of Lotus Peak, calming his mind and focusing his breath as usual.
He was already used to sitting like this for long, and even somewhat enjoyed it.
Li Che's internal strength made no progress in the past half month, but he felt his mind gradually calming down and his turbid energy dissipating.
Only then did he realize that the numerous killings and the reasons behind them, though not obvious, had still affected his mentality to some extent.
When the spirit entered the Niwan point, the faint, heavy aura on the ice jade that had appeared when it first arrived at Lotus Peak had disappeared, and it had become crystal clear again.
Li Che didn't know if it was due to his half-month of quiet cultivation or the inherent power of the Ice Jade, but in any case, everything turned out well.
The two weeks were not entirely fruitless.
The Thirteen Consecutive Whips of Mount Hua are complete!
Although the name sounds rustic, the emphasis is on the two characters "Huashan," which implies the creation of a new martial arts style in Huashan.
The Thirteen Styles of Whip Technique, each move a continuous chain.
"The sunset rises with momentum," the whip like the glow of sunset spreading across the ground.
"A lone wild goose skims the sky," the sound of whipping through the air is like the long cry of a lone wild goose.
But the final move is without any moves or forms, or perhaps it is as simple as a whip!
There are no fixed moves; the key is to anticipate the enemy's moves and employ techniques such as thrusting, sweeping, entangling, or shocking.
However, mastering this technique is not easy; it requires a high level of talent.
The whip technique retains the power of the Songyang Double Whip and also incorporates the essence of Huashan's lightness, agility, and perilousness, as well as the use of qi to control force, making it truly unique.
Li Che was fairly satisfied with this.
He then took the ten-foot-long soft whip and began to wield it.
The whip cracks like thunder, or is as straight as an iron rod with the power to pierce armor, or the whip shadows swirl around the body to defend against enemies, and are further aided by three layers of clouds.
Even outer disciples with slightly weaker internal energy can learn 30-50% of its power.
"Senior Brother Li—!"
It was mealtime again, Yue Lingshan called out and ran up the mountain.
As autumn approached and the morning mountain breeze grew colder, Li Che noticed that she was still wearing only a single layer of clothing and scolded her, "Why don't you wear more? Don't catch a cold."
"I'm not as delicate as you make me out to be. My kung fu has improved a lot. My mother even had me teach the outer sect female disciples swordsmanship yesterday. Pretty impressive, huh?" Yue Lingshan waved her fist proudly.
Li Che gave a thumbs up, "Junior Sister Cheng Yue, you're amazing!"
Laughter and chatter never ceased atop the mountain, day after day.
"Senior Brother Li, I think Father is getting lazier and lazier."
"Hmm?" Li Che asked curiously, holding his bowl. "What do you mean?"
Yue Lingshan crouched down and leaned closer, wrinkling her nose. "The sentence Father says most often these days is: 'Go to Lotus Peak and ask your senior brother!'"
She imitated Lao Yue's way of speaking, which made Li Che want to laugh.
"Also, Senior Brother Liang has been working very hard lately. He has to practice martial arts, instruct his disciples on swordsmanship, and is also assigned tasks by Father from time to time."
A few days ago, my mother couldn't bear to watch anymore and took over the task of instructing the inner disciples in martial arts, which made things a little better.
However, it's not all bad news.
"What's wrong?"
"Father's temper is much better than before, but... but this change is too sudden."
Li Che secretly curled his lips. After nearly thirty years of hard work for Mount Hua, he was finally freed from this burden. It seemed that Old Yue was truly planning to cultivate his character and mind.
Well then, it's fine if the disciple does the work when needed. This kind of old Yue is quite good.
The reputation of the Huashan Gentleman Sword is as solid as Mount Tai!
After thinking for a moment, Li Che said, "By the way, I've finished preparing that set of whip techniques. You can take it with you later to show Master and Mistress."
If there are no problems, you may choose to teach your disciples.
I think we should let Junior Sister Huo try it first. She's a whip user, so she should be able to apply her knowledge to other techniques.
"Hmph." Yue Lingshan then adopted her usual gruff tone, "Have you asked your senior brother about this?"
"Hahaha--!"
