Chapter 94: The Joyful Dongfang Bubai

"Xiu'er, is this the time Dongfang Bubai agreed to meet you at?" Yue Buqun asked Ye Xiu, who was standing beside him. He seemed a little anxious and worried.

"Well, it should be around then. Actually, she didn't say the exact time, she just said she'd come back to see me today," Ye Xiu replied.

"..." Yue Buqun could only suppress his anxiety and continue to wait for Dongfang Bubai.

However, Dongfang Bubai didn't keep them waiting for long.

Just as Yue Buqun and Ye Xiu were quietly waiting for Dongfang Bubai to appear, a woman in a bright red coat suddenly appeared before them.

Seeing this sudden appearance, Ye Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Dongfang Bubai had finally arrived.

Yue Buqun, however, was taken aback. He hadn't expected a woman to appear before him! In other words, Dongfang Bubai was actually a woman? And a woman who didn't look very old at all!

Yue Buqun quickly put aside his disbelief, as the outside world didn't necessarily believe Dongfang Bubai was a man.

In reality, the outside world's understanding of Dongfang Bubai was simply that he was the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, a formidable figure who had once fought against Wudang and stolen the Tai Chi Manual. However, there was no definitive answer as to whether Dongfang Bubai was a man or a woman, or even how old he was.

It was simply that Yue Buqun and most of the Jianghu people subconsciously assumed that anyone with the name Dongfang Bubai was a man.

"Dongfang Sect Leader?" Yue Buqun bowed.

As for doubting whether this Dongfang Bubai before him was real or fake? Yue Buqun hadn't even noticed how Dongfang Bubai appeared; his Qinggong skills alone were enough to earn him the name Dongfang Bubai.

"Yue Buqun." Dongfang Bubai glanced at him, then glanced at Ye Xiu. "What are your thoughts?"

"Dongfang Sect Leader has given Huashan honor, so naturally, Huashan will not be ungrateful," Yue Buqun said, pulling out a secret manual from his bosom. It was the martial arts manual he had copied overnight. The secret language of the Huashan Sect, contained in the original Zixia Gong manual, had also been translated by Yue Buqun. After all, if he chose to hold back, Dongfang Bubai, with his strength, would definitely be able to see through it, and he might even attack Huashan for holding back the Zixia manual.

Therefore, Yue Buqun cleverly removed the trap from the manual.

As for why Yue Buqun said Dongfang Bubai had saved face for Huashan, it was naturally because Dongfang Bubai didn't try to snatch it, but chose to trade. After all, Dongfang Bubai was truly strong-willed, and Yue Buqun couldn't keep him.

"Master Yue is indeed a wise man. In view of your intelligence, I'll give you both of these," Dongfang Bubai said, holding out a somewhat worn cassock and a manual: the Exorcism Sword Manual and the Tai Chi Fist Manual.

Dongfang Bubai casually tossed the two items, and they floated lightly in front of Yue Buqun.

Ye Xiu, standing nearby, was a little shocked to see Dongfang Bubai actually offering two items for trade. After all, both the Exorcist Sword Manual and the Tai Chi Manual were of considerable value. For some, even the value of either might surpass the Purple Cloud Art.

How could Dongfang Bubai be willing to part with it?

The Tai Chi Manual, in particular, was written by Zhang Sanfeng himself, a priceless treasure for Wudang and even the martial arts world.

"Thank you, Master Dongfang. This is the Purple Cloud Art manual. Please accept it." Yue Buqun channeled his Qi, and the Purple Cloud Art manual flew out of his hand, slowly and surely reaching Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yue Buqun. While Yue Buqun's move wasn't as effortless as Dongfang Bubai's earlier, it was still quite impressive. Few masters in the Xiantian realm could pull it off.

Dongfang Bubai was straightforward. After receiving the Purple Cloud Art manual, he turned and left without further interaction.

Leaving behind him was an excited Yue Buqun and a bewildered Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu still couldn't understand why Dongfang Bubai chose to trade to obtain the Purple Cloud Art. Was Dongfang Bubai a good person? Or did he know that each martial arts manual contained its own unique secret language, and so chose the easiest method?

Regardless, this transaction was a success. However,

Ye Xiu couldn't help but look at Yue Buqun, whose excitement was barely concealed. A hint of unease crossed his face.

Forget the Tai Chi Chuan Manual, but the Exorcism Sword Manual—that thing was a rip-off!

After Dongfang Bubai left, Yue Buqun couldn't wait to open the worn cassock containing the Exorcism Sword Manual.

Yue Buqun was even more obsessed with the Exorcism Sword Manual than the Tai Chi Chuan Manual, and he wanted to see if practicing it required castration.

When he opened the cassock, he saw the words at the very front: "To practice this skill, you must first castrate yourself!"

After seeing these eight words, Yue Buqun, despite having been mentally prepared, couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and loss.

However, when he saw the Tai Chi Fist Manual, he breathed a sigh of relief. While the Exorcism Sword Manual was useless, at least he still had the Tai Chi Fist Manual, even though he couldn't openly show it to others.

"Master?"

"Xiu'er, don't mention what happened today to anyone else. I'll tell your master's wife," Yue Buqun instructed Ye Xiu.

"Disciple understands!" Ye Xiu nodded earnestly.

"Let's go."

After returning, Yue Buqun couldn't help but read the Exorcism Sword Manual from beginning to end. He even tried to practice the internal skills in the Exorcism Sword Manual.

However, without castration, practicing the Exorcism Sword Manual made his blood boil, and countless distracting thoughts flooded his mind. If Yue Buqun hadn't stopped practicing in time, he might have gone astray.

"Is this Sword Manual of Exorcism really only practiced by castrating oneself? Sigh—" Yue Buqun couldn't help but sigh again. Such a powerful martial art, yet he could only watch helplessly, unable to practice. This was an absolute torment for Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun folded up his cassock and carefully placed it away.

He then took out the Tai Chi Chuan Manual. As he flipped open the book, he felt a vague sense of confusion about the text, as if something was hidden within, but he couldn't quite grasp it. The martial arts described in the book were relatively profound, interspersed with a wealth of Taoist terminology, even more difficult to understand than the Purple Cloud Art.

As for whether the manual contained any secret Wudang codes, Yue Buqun was not entirely sure.

However, Yue Buqun felt that if he memorized it and focused his energy on the Tai Chi Chuan Manual, perhaps in ten years, or even five, he might break through his current bottleneck and become a Grandmaster.

Yue Buqun couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of becoming a master with the help of the Tai Chi Manual.

If he could become a master, wouldn't that mean that even without Ye Xiu as a disciple, he, as a master, could carry forward the Huashan Sect?

Of course, Yue Buqun also knew that inheritance was a very important matter, so Ye Xiu's position in his heart did not diminish.

"Really, that's great." Yue Buqun looked at the Tai Chi Manual in surprise, reluctant to let it go. As for the Sword Manual of Exorcism, Yue Buqun had temporarily forgotten it.

Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan, who knew from the diary that Yue Buqun would have a deal with Dongfang Bubai, were always trembling with fear, fearing that Yue Buqun would be unable to think straight and cut themselves off.

At the same time, they were also worried that Dongfang Bubai would attack Huashan Sect.

Even though they thought that Dongfang Bubai might have a diary like them, they could not guarantee that Dongfang Bubai had no bad intentions.

Finally, after reading the Tai Chi Fist Scripture several times and coming to his senses, Yue Buqun found Ning Zhongze and told him about the Tai Chi Fist Scripture.

As for more information, Yue Buqun did not reveal it. After all, in Yue Buqun's opinion, Ning Zhongze's character was still too straightforward, and he did not seem like someone who could bear secrets.

After seeing the Tai Chi Fist Scripture in Yue Buqun's hand and being told that Yue Buqun might break through the Grandmaster Realm in five to ten years, Ning Zhongze was really relieved.

...

"You are actually tempted by Huashan Sect's Zixia Gong?" Feng Qingyang looked at Dongfang Bubai who had obtained Zixia Gong through a trade.

Feng Qingyang was still somewhat wary of Dongfang Bubai, especially this time, Dongfang Bubai actually made a deal with Yue Buqun.

Of course, the reason why Feng Qingyang met Dongfang Bubai was because Dongfang Bubai seemed to intend to appear in front of Feng Qingyang.

"You don't need to know this. Tonight, a group of people will break into Huashan and try to harm Huashan Qi Sect." Dongfang Bubai said to Feng Qingyang.

"Huh?" Feng Qingyang frowned, on the one hand because Dongfang Bubai said that someone would break into Huashan, and on the other hand, because of the Qi Sect mentioned by Dongfang Bubai.

Sword Sect and Qi Sect, this title is an eternal pain for Feng Qingyang. And the reason why Dongfang Bubai said this was that he didn't want Feng Qingyang to interfere in this matter.

"Among this group of people, there will be one person whose realm is above Xiantian, a master-level character." Dongfang Bubai spoke again.

"Grandmaster?" Feng Qingyang's expression became serious: "I wonder what you want to do by telling me this news? Do you want to make a deal with me? But I am not Yue Buqun, so I will not make any deal with you." Feng Qingyang was a little worried that Dongfang Bubai coveted his Dugu Nine Swords.

"You don't have anything that this master likes." Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly and turned away.

Feng Qingyang looked at Dongfang Bubai who turned away, and felt more and more strange in his heart. What on earth is Dongfang Bubai going to do? Could it be that because of the handsome Huashan Sect disciple, Dongfang Bubai has become particularly concerned about Huashan Sect?

Feng Qingyang still didn't quite understand Dongfang Bubai's approach, but Dongfang Bubai's reminder still made Feng Qingyang more vigilant. He was ready to see who wanted to harm Huashan Sect. After all, even if Yue Buqun was a remnant of Qi Sect, even if Feng Qingyang didn't like Qi Sect people.

On the other side, Dongfang Bubai went down the mountain with the secret book of Zixia Gong. After going down the mountain, she did not open the secret book of Zixia Gong to read it immediately, but took out her diary.

When Dongfang Bubai saw that Ye Xiu's favorability towards her increased from 49 to 50, Dongfang Bubai's face showed a very faint smile.

Although Dongfang Bubai thought that Ye Xiu's favorability towards her would increase, she did not expect that her final plan had not been implemented yet, and now Ye Xiu's favorability towards her has increased a little.

And when the favorability exceeds 50 points, you can get an additional 50% bonus. Compared with the previous 49 points, although it is only a little difference, the difference between the two is too big.

It was mentioned many times in the diary before, and now the favorability has increased again. Dongfang Bubai's mood is too good to be true. She even can't help but have a little favorability towards Songshan Sect. After all,

if it weren't for the appearance of Songshan Sect, the troublemaker, there would not be such a good opportunity for Ye Xiu to improve his favorability towards her.

Of course, although this incident made Dongfang Bubai feel a little better about the Songshan Sect, she would definitely not be soft-hearted when it was time to be ruthless tonight.

Dongfang Bubai stood far away, looking at a dense forest where more than 20 people gathered together and whispered something.

"Master, are you really not going to let Sister Huang and I act together?" Qu Feiyan looked at Dongfang Bubai pitifully.

Not only Qu Feiyan, but even Huang Rong had a bit of resentment in her eyes.

"Which one of those people do you think you can deal with?" Dongfang Bubai glanced at Qu Feiyan and Huang Rong.

Qu Feiyan and Huang Rong shut up immediately, because among the more than 20 people, except for one who was a master below the Grandmaster level, the others were at least masters of the Innate level, and any one of them was not something they could deal with.

At this moment, Qu Feiyan and Huang Rong were both a little annoyed, annoyed at how their strength was so low. If their strength was higher, even if it was only at the first level of innate, they would have the strength to intervene. Unfortunately, their strength was not enough, let alone intervene to save people. If they really went, they might become the ones to be rescued.

...

Although Ye Xiu knew that Songshan Sect might attack Huashan Sect, he did not have a clear understanding of when and where the attack would take place, how many people would take action, and how strong the opponent was.

So Ye Xiu did not feel that worried.

Ye Xiu is now writing today's diary.

"As expected, Dongfang Bubai came today."

"Besides, she is quite generous. Originally, she should have to choose between the Sword Manual of Exorcism and the Tai Chi Fist Manual, but unexpectedly, Dongfang Bubai actually used both of them as bargaining chips."

"Maybe it's because Dongfang Bubai knows that these two are useless."

"After all, the Sword Manual of Exorcism requires castration to practice. And the martial arts in the Tai Chi Fist Manual are from the Wudang School, and there is no way to take them out openly. That's why he took out these two together."

"I just hope that Old Yue will not be tempted by the Sword Manual of Exorcism. After all, Master's wife is so beautiful, so gentle, so virtuous, and so charming - Old Yue, Old Yue, please don't be impulsive!!!" "

Alas, I should have told Dongfang Bubai that if he didn't want the Sword Manual of Exorcism, he could just exchange it for the Tai Chi Fist Manual. If he thinks the Tai Chi Fist Manual is a rip-off, then at most he can get two less powerful martial arts books. After all, the Sun Moon Divine Sect is so big, and there must be a lot of martial arts in it."

"Forget it, the transaction has been completed, so let's not talk about this. But Dongfang Bubai is really pretty."

"That red dress is so suitable for her."

"That kind of heroic and domineering young lady - no, it's a big sister, is simply killing me. It completely hits my aesthetic point. I like royal sisters very much."

"If she was not Dongfang Bubai, maybe I might pursue her."

"Well, I'm not good at pursuing women. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been a bachelor in my previous life."

"Let's talk about martial arts. After Dongfang Bubai got Zixia Gong, who knows what she can do. I don't know if there is any connection between Zixia Gong and Sunflower Manual. If there is a connection, who knows if Dongfang Bubai's martial arts will become more powerful." "

Anyway, the Sun Moon Divine Sect is also a demon sect, and it is ultimately opposed to our Huashan Sect."

"And if there is no connection between Zixia Gong and the Sunflower Manual, will Dongfang Bubai be angry and turn around to cause trouble for the Huashan Sect?"

"When I think about it, it's really a headache."

"The issue of the righteous and evil sects is the most troublesome."

"If the righteous sects are all good people and the evil sects are all bad people, completely opposite existences, then black is black and white is white, and there will be no so many troubles and messes."

"Tsk! As expected, the world of children is simpler. Good is good and bad is bad. There are not so many messy things at all - that's not right, it's as if some people are born bad, like that Long Xiaoyun."

"Long Xiaoyun's mother is Lin Shiyin and his father is Long Xiaotian. Long Xiaoyun is so bad, he must have inherited that from Long Xiaotian."

"But when I think of Long Xiaotian, I think of Li Xunhuan."

"'Li Xunhuan, seeing how beautiful your fiancée is, I've decided you're my brother!' This is probably what Long Xiaotian thought when he saw Lin Shiyin."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this bastard Long Xiaotian, he clearly knew that Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship, but he told Li Xunhuan that he liked Lin Shiyin and even had lovesickness. And this bastard Li Xunhuan actually believed Long Xiaotian's words, so he really gave Lin Shiyin to Long Xiaotian, and even gave Li Yuan to Long Xiaotian. Didn't he ever think that kindness could turn into hatred? After Li Xunhuan came back, Long Xiaotian started thinking of ways to frame and harm Li Xunhuan. In other words, Li Xunhuan is the protagonist, otherwise he would have died countless times." "

Damn, this diary went astray while writing. Forget it, I'm used to it anyway."
