Chapter 279 - Soaring Fox

Watching his trusted aide leave, Ning Zhong sat and looked out the window. He went into a daze for a while, then stood up to instruct his subordinates that he wanted to go to Yue Lingshan's residence.

Ning Zhong, on the other hand, only had a daughter like Yue Lingshan, so naturally, she had to take care of her and give her the best care. At the same time, she was very worried about whether the person Yue Lingshan made contact with was kind and upright, or else her daughter would be bullied by others.

Regarding the rumors between Yue Lingshan and herself, Ning Zhong was also very concerned about it, so she specially sent people to investigate the truth. When she found out that Yue Lingshan was really sending a meal to Ling Xiao, she became even more curious about Ling Xiao's character.

This time, Ning Zhong was very satisfied with Ling Xiao's performance. After understanding Ling Xiao a little, Ning Zhong decided to go and have a chat with Yue Lingshan.

Yue Lingshan's residence was located in a quiet garden in Huashan Mountain, which was also a special treatment given to daughters of Sect Leader. Without permission, no one could come close to it, it could be considered a forbidden area, and was extremely safe.

Within the flower garden, Yue Lingshan sat in a cluster of flowers, supporting her cheek as she looked into the distance. It was unknown what she was thinking, but even Ning Zhong, who was standing beside him, did not notice.

"Shan'er, what are you thinking about?" Ning Zhong walked to Yue Lingshan's side and sat down, and asked with a smile.

"Ah?" Why are you here, mother? " Yue Lingshan reacted and said in pleasant surprise.

Ning Zhong laughed and said, "I missed you so I came over to take a look. Usually, we only meet during meals, so that I won't disturb your training."

Yue Lingshan lowered her head in shame, "Shan'er knows of mother's painstaking efforts."

"I heard that you and the last disciple of the Mount Hua Sword Sect have some rumors. Can you tell the truth to the mother?" After greeting each other, Ning Zhong went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Yue Lingshan was shocked, she did not expect Ning Zhongze to personally come to find him for this matter.

"It's all nonsense. We're just competing." Yue Lingshan shook her head and said with a red face.

"Hehe, you're not young anymore. I don't want to ask too much about the relationship between you two, but you have to find out if Ling Xiao is reliable or not." Ning Zhong said with a smile.

Yue Lingshan raised her head, and replied with a question: "mother, why did you suddenly mention this matter, it's a little serious."

After a moment of silence, Ning Zhong softly sighed, "You're still very smart. I know your father's character very well, he wants power, and he even wants more. Hu Chong is currently a chess piece he has nurtured with great care, and there will be more in the future. I'm worried that you will also become his chess piece."

"What?" Hearing that, Yue Lingshan's entire body did not look good.

"You've never really liked him. I know, but he didn't really care. I know the reason." Ning Zhong, on the other hand, said helplessly.

"I know my father doesn't care much about me, but I didn't think he'd use me." Yue Lingshan clenched her fist and said somewhat sorrowfully.

"After so many years, I've also struggled many times. However, I was unable to let you go, so I came here in this manner. However, I hope that you can find the person you like, and not be arranged by your father." Ning Zhong looked at Yue Lingshan and spoke with a stern expression.

Yue Lingshan nodded strongly: "I will, you can rest assured."

Beneath the Huashan Mountain's feet, a group of people stood in a neat line, as if they were welcoming an important figure.

Amongst them, Yue Buqun was astonishingly among them. It seemed that he placed a lot of importance on this person.

Not long after, a group of people under the lead of a fast horse quickly arrived.

Their leader was a very handsome young man. After he dismounted, he bowed to Yue Buqun and said, "Disciple, Linghu Chong pays his respects to Sect Leader."

Yue Buqun laughed and said: "Stand up, there's no need to be so courteous. What is the result of this expedition?"

Linghu Chong cupped his fists and said, "Returning to the Sect Leader, everything goes smoothly."

"Good!" I knew it wouldn't be a problem at all to send you there. Yue Buqun laughed with satisfaction.

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

"Oh right, you've been gone for quite some time. You should be more concerned about the matters on the mountain. Someone suddenly appeared. You should pay more attention." Yue Buqun said softly as he walked over to Linghu Chong's side.

Hearing that, Hu Chong had a baffled expression, but he knew that Yue Buqun would not talk to him about such things after eating his fill, so he nodded and said, "Disciple understands."

"Alright, let's go up the mountain and have a good rest." Yue Buqun retreated a few steps and laughed loudly.

This was Huashan Mountain's experiential learning outside, partly to train the disciples' combat experience, and partly to secretly perform some difficult missions. In short, no one knew what they did outside.

And it was precisely because of this that the people who were qualified to go out and gain experience on their own were those who were strong enough or those who were very familiar with the gangs, such as the Sect Leader Elders.

After returning to the mountain, Hu Chong immediately called for Lu Da.

"On the way back, Sect Leader entrusted me with something. It seems to be quite serious. Do you know what happened in the mountains recently?" Linghu Chong asked.

Hearing this, Lu Da's heart trembled. He knew that Hu Chong was definitely asking about Ling Xiao, and he was even telling it personally by the Sect Leader, thinking that what was coming would eventually come. Lying would definitely not end well, after all, this was not a secret.

Since he could not help by lying, Lu Da could only honestly tell him what had happened on the mountain recently.

"Ling Xiao? If you didn't tell me about this person, I would never have remembered him. That useless person was able to defeat Yue Lingshan, it is truly interesting, it seems like he obtained many opportunities, what about you guys, how can you all watch him act so arrogantly? " Linghu Chong coldly said when he heard this.

When Lu Da heard this, he shook his head and said, "Of course I did, and I even brought along six brothers."

"Oh? At least he should be able to remember the results for the seven of you. " Linghu Chong asked.

With a troubled look, Lu Da looked at Mu Hu Chong and said in a low voice: "We have all been defeated. If it wasn't for Ling Xiao being merciful, we would probably all have been seriously injured."

"What a bunch of trash! The seven of them could not even defeat one of them! Get out! " When Hu Chong heard this, he instantly scolded angrily.

The sudden berating scared Lu Da. He hurriedly turned around and ran out. He knew that he would be beaten up by the fox if he was any later.

After Lu Da left, only Linghu Chong was left in the room. At this moment, he was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face and killing intent swirling in his eyes.

"This Ling Xiao, he can actually fight against seven people and not lose, it looks like he does have some skills, but since I'm here, it's none of your business!" Linghu Chong said coldly.
