Chapter 58 Gifts
The Huashan Sect and the Liuhe Sect were not familiar with each other, and Yue Buqun did not expect them to send anyone, so after a few greetings, he let Linghu Chong lead him to the seat.
"The Beggars' Sect leader Jie has appointed me, Zhang Jin'ao, to come and congratulate Sect Leader Yue on his appointment as the leader of the Huashan Sect. I wish the Huashan Sect great success."
The ragged deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, Zhang Jin'ao, came to the door and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Same joy, same joy!"
Yue Buqun clasped his fists in return.
"Mr. Yue has now had two happy events, which is really a great joy in life!"
"Your disciple has really made a name for my righteous path in the land of Huguang. Today, I hope that Master Yue can introduce me to this young hero."
Zhang Jinao laughed.
Yue Buqun was even more puzzled. A young hero from Huguang? What on earth had happened?
However, he did not show it on his face. He responded politely and asked the disciple beside him to lead him to his seat.
At three quarters past the hour of Si, the sound of footsteps was heard, and a thin old man in a green robe, accompanied by several young men, slowly walked up the mountain.
Seeing the old man coming, Yue Buqun showed joy and took a few steps forward to greet him.
"Brother Mo's personal visit is truly a great honor to our Huashan Sect."
The visitor was none other than Mr. Mo Da, the head of Hengshan.
Seeing Yue Buqun's respectful manner, Mr. Mo Da also clasped his fists in return and said,
"Congratulations to Master Yue for inheriting the position of Master today, and congratulations to Junior Brother Yue for finding a great disciple."
Hearing this, Yue Buqun became even more puzzled. As Mr. Mo Da was also an acquaintance, he took the opportunity to ask,
"Brother Mo, I understand that you want to congratulate me on my succession to the position of the Sect Leader, but how did you get this wonderful disciple? Today, both the Six Harmonies Sect's Xia Quan Master and the Beggars' Sect's Zhang Gang Leader congratulated me, but I am completely confused."
"Junior Brother Yue, you didn't know about this yet?" Mr. Mo Da looked surprised, then nodded.
"Yes, Huguang is thousands of miles away from Huashan, so it is normal that the news has not yet arrived."
"Could it be that Renfeng did something outrageous in Hengshan?"
Seeing Mr. Mo Da's reaction, Yue Buqun guessed.
Mr. Mo Da laughed strangely.
"Master Yue, your disciple has done great things in Huguang."
Then, he told Yue Buqun all about Jin Renfeng's deeds.
The sword killed the leader of the Demon Cult and defeated three hundred followers. His chivalry was unparalleled and he dared to be the first. His magic sword was invincible and his courage was heroic.
"Now, everyone in the martial arts world calls him the peerless swordsman. His fame has long been known throughout our Huguang area."
Mr. Mo Da stroked his beard and exclaimed in admiration.
After hearing what happened, Yue Buqun's eyes widened. He had not expected that his disciple would accomplish such a big thing after going down the mountain.
"This traitor is really capable of causing trouble. I told him to go down the mountain and not cause any trouble, but he made such a big fuss."
Yue Buqun smiled bitterly.
"Junior Brother Yue, your words are like taking advantage of others." Mr. Mo Da glanced at Yue Buqun.
"When I saw that young man that day, he was full of vigor and vitality, and had extraordinary talent and appearance. I felt that he was not an ordinary person."
"But I didn't expect that just a few days later, he would destroy the Demon Sect with a sword outside Xiangyang City. If it weren't for the people from the Iron Fist Escort Agency spreading the news, I'm afraid I still wouldn't have known about it."
"How can such a talented disciple be called an evil disciple?"
Yue Buqun shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Mo, you don't know that the traitor's talent is quite good, but his arrogance is ten times greater than his ability."
"That kid is always very opinionated. Sometimes he even disobeys the orders of a master like me. Teaching him is really a headache."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
Mr. Mo Da had a strange look on his face. He always felt that Yue Buqun was showing off in public. . . . . .
Following the people from Hengshan Sect, people from Hengshan Sect and Taishan Sect also arrived one after another.
As two of the Five Great Sword Sects, the leaders of the Hengshan Sect and the Taishan Sect were present in person, which was considered to be giving enough face to the Huashan Sect.
Master and his disciples Yue Buqun also came down the steps to greet them, and brought Taoist Tianmen and Master Dingxian up the mountain.
It was almost noon and most of the guests, except those from the Songshan School, had arrived.
"Master, why don't we go back first! It's almost noon, and only one of the Songshan Sect hasn't arrived yet. I guess they don't plan to come, so let's not wait for them."
Beside the mountain road, Linghu Chong began to persuade.
Yue Buqun shook his head.
"Songshan Sect is one of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. We are of the same bloodline, so Songshan Sect will definitely come. Moreover, Senior Brother Zuo is the leader of the Five Mountains. Among the Five Mountains, he has the highest status, so he should not be neglected."
"But how long do we have to wait?" Linghu Chong complained.
The scorching sun at noon had already exhausted all his patience.
"This Zuo Lengchan is really arrogant. Other sects have already arrived, but his Songshan Sect is not far away, but he is dragging his feet."
He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Just as he was getting angry, he saw four men carrying a large red lacquer box up the mountain in the distance. There were two men leading the way.
Look at the heavy footsteps of the person carrying the box. The things in the box are really heavy.
"But is Brother Songshan Sect here in person?"
Seeing someone coming, Yue Buqun stepped forward to ask.
Hearing the voice, the two leaders came over quickly and one of them asked loudly,
"Are you Mr. Yue Buqun, the head of Huashan?"
"It's me. May I know who you are?" Yue Buqun was puzzled, as he didn't know where the person in front of him came from.
"I am Yu Tiecheng from the Iron Fist Escort Agency. I came here to congratulate Master Yue on his succession to the position of master." Yu Tiecheng replied.
“It turns out to be Master Yu from Jiangxi!” Yue Buqun suddenly realized. After listening to Master Mo’s narration, he already knew that the old man in front of him was the person his eldest disciple saved in Xiangyang City.
"In that case, please come in quickly, my dear guest."
"Don't rush to go up the mountain yet. Sect Master Yue should arrange some people to receive my gift first." Yu Tiecheng said with a smile. He walked to the side and patted the box.
"I came here in a hurry this time, so the gifts I prepared are not many. Inside this box are 20,000 taels of silver notes and various jewelry, antiques, jade bracelets, and silks and satins."
"Totaling about fifty thousand taels."
"This small gift is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Master Yue."
Upon hearing the number of gifts, Linghu Chong could not help but exclaim.
Yue Buqun couldn't help but be shocked by the size of the other party's move.
Twenty thousand taels of silver alone would be enough for the Huashan Sect to sustain its food, clothing and other expenses for decades.
In addition, there are various treasures. Adding the two together, they are extremely valuable.
"Your Excellency is indeed too kind. Such a gift is extremely valuable no matter where it is placed. However, we cannot accept it without merit. This gift is too much. We cannot accept it."
Yue Buqun declined.
"Master Yue, what you said is a little strange." Yu Tiecheng laughed loudly, "Mr. Jin Eng saved the lives of my family of 23. It is truly a great favor. For my Yu family, it is not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Jin Eng is like a second parent."
"Compared to the grace of saving my life, what does this little money mean?"
