Chapter 30

Yue Fangxing was puzzled and said, "Why do you say that, Master Yu? Could it be that there is some misunderstanding between our two sects? Please speak clearly." He was surprised by Yu Canghai's words. Although the relationship between the Huashan Sect and the Qingcheng Sect was not harmonious, their conflicts were only behind the scenes and had not been brought to the surface. Was it necessary to react so strongly?

Yu Canghai snorted coldly and was about to challenge when suddenly he heard a "whoosh." Two people flew out from behind and landed on the ground with a thud, lying motionless. These two were wearing blue robes, each with a footprint on their buttocks, clearly disciples of the Qingcheng Sect. A clear voice of a little girl followed, "This is the Qingcheng Sect's signature move, the 'Buttocks Backward Level Sand Goose Style'!"

Yu Canghai was furious. Without waiting to see who was speaking, he identified the direction of the voice and leaped over. He saw a little girl in a green dress standing by the table and reached out to grab her arm.

The little girl screamed, "Mommy!" and burst into tears.

Yu Canghai was extremely embarrassed. As the leader of a sect, making a little girl cry was not a glorious thing to do.

Yue Fangxing found it somewhat amusing and thought, "This little girl must be Qu Feiyun. She is indeed a clever and mischievous child. If Yu Canghai tries to catch her, he will surely be toyed with." Just as he was enjoying the scene, a familiar voice came from the side, "Little brother, why haven't you returned home for over a year? Mother has mentioned you many times."

Yue Fangxing recognized the voice as his sister Yue Lingshan's. She was the only female disciple in Huashan who could call him "little brother." Turning his head, he saw a girl with a pockmarked face and realized she must have disguised herself. He was surprised and couldn't help but laugh lightly, "Sister, I haven't seen you for over a year, how did you end up looking like this!"

Yue Lingshan pretended to be angry, "You, Yue Fangxing, after not seeing me for over a year, you dare to speak to me like this!" They both laughed and teased each other.

At this moment, the Huashan group also came forward, greeting Yue Fangxing. Yue Fangxing saw Liang Fa, Shi Daizi, Gao Genming, and Lu Dayou, all of whom had come this time. He thought their martial arts had reached a second-class level, otherwise, they wouldn't have been allowed to leave the mountain. He was pleased that their progress was good, and if this continued, in another ten to twenty years, Huashan would have several first-class or near-first-class experts.

Lao Denuo had also come this time. Yue Fangxing noticed the two palm prints on his face and was curious. Yue Lingshan told him that they were from Dinger's anger. Yue Fangxing found it amusing: It seemed that Lao Denuo still had some use, at least as a punching bag for others.

While Yue Fangxing was talking with the Huashan group, he heard Yu Canghai's cold voice again, "Lao Denuo, is this little girl from your Huashan Sect?"

Lao Denuo, as the senior disciple, had been welcoming and sending off guests for years and was quite well-known in the martial world. Because of his age, outsiders often regarded him as the leader of the Huashan group. Yu Canghai was asking him.

Lao Denuo replied, "No, I met this little sister for the first time today. She is not from our sect."

Yu Canghai said, "Fine, if you don't want to admit it, that's fine." Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a green light flashed. A flying dart shot towards Yilin, and he shouted, "Little Master, look what this is!"

Yue Fangxing had already heard the whole story from Yue Lingshan and knew that Linghuchong had been severely injured by Luo Renjie of the Qingcheng Sect, just as in the original story. He was both shocked and angry, wishing he had come earlier to prevent Luo Renjie's attack. As he was feeling frustrated, he saw Yu Canghai's impolite move and flicked a pebble with his finger, intercepting the flying dart.

The pebble was very powerful, directly knocking the flying dart down and continuing its momentum back towards Yu Canghai. Yue Fangxing used a technique he had created during his leisure time while practicing swordsmanship by the sea, combining the Huashan Iron Finger Technique with the key points from the Nine Yin Manual. Although it was not as miraculous as the Finger Technique of the Yellow Robe, after a year of practice, it was quite accurate and fast, living up to its name. Combined with his deep internal strength, it was not to be underestimated.

Everyone in the hall was surprised. Yu Canghai's sudden attack caught most people off guard, and few in the hall had the confidence to intercept the flying dart. The young man named Yue Fangxing not only saw it but also fired a projectile to intercept Yu Canghai's flying dart, showing remarkable eyesight and strength.

The pebble, after knocking down the flying dart, continued its momentum and headed straight for Yu Canghai. Just as he was about to catch it, it suddenly dropped to the ground about two feet in front of him with a thud.

Yu Canghai's hand caught nothing, and his face turned red, realizing he had lost a move in front of everyone, making him extremely embarrassed.

Everyone in the hall found it amusing, and some couldn't help but laugh out loud. The little girl, seeing this, clapped her hands and said, "Fun, fun, big brother, can you teach me?"

Yue Fangxing's move, though seemingly powerful, used a clever force from the Nine Yin Manual, making Yu Canghai look foolish.

Dinger, seeing the flying dart heading towards Yilin, was about to intercept it but saw Yue Fangxing knock it down. Although she thought it wouldn't be a big deal even if Yue Fangxing didn't act, she still felt grateful towards him. Seeing the little girl cheering, she was worried that Yu Canghai might lose his temper and take it out on Yue Fangxing. She said to Yilin, "Yilin, this little girl's parents are missing. Go with her to find them so she won't be left alone and get bullied."

Yilin replied, "Yes!" and walked over to hold the little girl's hand. The little girl smiled at her, made a face at Yue Fangxing, and left the hall with Yilin.

Yu Canghai sneered and ignored their departure. He turned to Yue Fangxing and said coldly, "Master Yue, you have a good son. Relying on a bit of skill, he meddles in the affairs of the Qingcheng Sect and the Hengshan Sect."

Yue Fangxing replied, "Master Yu, what are you saying? The Five Mountains Sword Sects are united. Sister Yilin has done a favor for our senior brother. How can I sit idly by and watch her be bullied by an elder?" He was referring to the mutual rescue between Yilin and Linghuchong, which he had heard from Yue Lingshan.

Some people in the hall praised Yue Fangxing's words. His response was very skillful. First, it reminded Yu Canghai that they were on the territory of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and he should think twice before causing trouble. Second, it pointed out that Yu Canghai had been impolite and bullying, and Yue Fangxing had only acted because he couldn't stand it. Even if Yu Canghai wanted to react, he would have to consider the elders of the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

Yu Canghai, being criticized by a junior, turned red with anger and was about to react when he suddenly heard Dinger shout, "Yu Canghai, if you hurt my disciple in front of me, you are not respecting the Hengshan Sect. I will have to challenge you." Dinger, despite decades of Buddhist practice, still had a fiery temper and was very protective of her disciples. She immediately challenged Yu Canghai.

Yu Canghai sneered and ignored her. His skills were not much different from Dinger's, and a fight between them would be uncertain. Moreover, he had been busy with the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual" and didn't want to waste his strength or provoke a powerful enemy at this critical moment.

At this point, Liu Zhengfeng came forward to mediate, and some of the elders in the hall also joined in to persuade. Yu Canghai, glad to find a way out, went along with it. Although Dinger was angry, she didn't want to push too hard. They were all righteous people and had come to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony. A fight would not look good.

After this incident, it was already late, and everyone dispersed, gathering with their fellow disciples and friends. Lin Pingzhi, unnoticed by everyone, quietly slipped away. Although Yue Fangxing saw him, he ignored it and continued talking with the Huashan group, inquiring about the recent situation of Huashan.
