Chapter 277
Destroying the disaster Ye Guhong is a man who can be trusted with his heart and soul, so Ye Guhong is trapped in the hands of others and can hardly tolerate anyone being disrespectful to his master.
Long Kong blankly glanced at him, and then casually fixed a few more pressure points, holding the horse waiting in place.
Ye Guhong cursed inwardly: This woman is so careful!
While he was flirting with others, he was secretly using his energy to open the pressure points. Although his ability to eliminate disasters was high, he was only casually tapping the pressure points. He was about to open the pressure points, but now that Long Kongkong had made a move, his efforts were in vain.
In a moment, the white snake and the flying horse arrived, with the angry Zhou Guanyin sitting in the saddle. She smiled and said, 鈥淕ood master, how come our religion has such a good horse?鈥�
Ye Guhong glanced sideways and saw that she was riding a red horse, as magnificent as the one under Long Kongkong’s saddle.
Long Kongkong said, 鈥淭he Yang family has allied itself with the Yuan court, so they can have anything they want. They also rely on us to deal with the Yi masters, so they naturally have to flatter us. They sent these horses just a few days after you left. I originally wanted to give them to you, but then I thought it would be good for you to venture out on your own, so I stayed behind you the whole time and never showed myself.鈥�
Bai Snake had previously spoken with Zhou Yanzi and even Mie Jie without losing her arrogance, but now in front of Long Kongkong, she was like an innocent little girl, laughing, 鈥淢aster is so good to me! I just captured this smelly girl, and when I ran away, I saw this red horse tied to a tree and knew that Master had prepared it for me, so I came out from the south of the city. Hee hee, poor old nun Mie Jie must have been confused by our tricks.鈥�
Long Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong
鈥淪econd, you keep calling her an old nun…鈥� She suddenly changed from solemn to playful, her eyes twinkling as she said, 鈥楤ut you have to be careful that your young lover doesn’t turn against you. In her heart, she values her master very highly!鈥�
While the master and disciple were talking, Ye Kuhong didn’t say a word, intently listening to the various details that she let slip.
When his name was mentioned, the white snake looked over and said with a smile, 鈥淵e Kuhong, you have fallen into my hands. It can be seen that our fate is not shallow.鈥�
Ye Kuhong sneered, 鈥淢iss White Snake, you think that I have a deep fate with you, but in fact, I have an even deeper fate with your master. This time, after returning to the Five Immortals Sect, your master and I will marry in the temple. In the future, she will take charge of the affairs of the Five Immortals Sect while I will take care of the household. You will have to call me 鈥榮ister-in-law鈥�.鈥�
Bai Snake’s face changed when she heard this, and she immediately decided that Ye Guhong was bluffing, and giggled, 鈥淪o you’re not going to marry into the family?鈥�
Ye Guhong sighed, 鈥淭he mountains and seas can be crossed, even if the one you love is on the other side! Miss Kongkong is the leader of the sect, with great talent and strategy. Would she have to wash up and cook after marrying me? A heroine of a generation, how can I bear it in my heart?鈥�
He said deliberately, with a look of reminiscence and longing, 鈥淚 remember the first time I went to worship at Wuxianling. I felt unforgettable when I met her. Over the years, I have thought about her day and night, and my feelings for her have long since taken root. I think since I love her, I naturally want to fulfill her ambitions. She is not someone who respects etiquette, and Ye has lived his life according to his own nature. There is nothing wrong with marrying into the family. After all is said and done, the surname Long sounds better than Ye. It will be an advantage when naming the child in the future.鈥�
The white snake listened to his firm words and felt uneasy in her heart. Pointing at Ye Guhong, she looked at her master and forced a smile, 鈥淢aster, look at this chatterbox, he even dares to make fun of you.鈥�
Although Mie Jie claimed to have raised Ye Guhong single-handedly, in fact, Ye Guhong was already seven or eight years old when he joined Emei, while White Snake was raised by Long Kongkong since she was in her cradle. She was truly like a mother to him, and knew him better than anyone else. As soon as she saw White Snake smile and speak in this way, she knew that her disciple was panicking.
She said in a bad mood, 鈥淚s he joking? It sounds very serious to me! Ye Guhong, you have said some really good things. I will take care of the outside world and you take care of the inside. That’s a good arrangement. The words ‘Emei Jade Warrior’ are now very well-known. You are willing to marry into the family. This is truly touching.”
Bai Snake hurriedly said, 鈥楳aster, his words are insincere. You must not fall for them.鈥�
Long Kongkong sneered, 鈥漌hich man in the world is not insincere? It’s just a matter of whether they put on a convincing act or not. He may say he’ll be faithful forever, but if he gets tired of you one day and finds someone prettier and younger, just wait and see if he’ll still be faithful. Haha, women should never marry, or if they do, they should pretend they don’t hear or see anything. What’s the harm in pretending? As long as he puts on a convincing act, I’m willing to accept it.
The white snake was terrified and her face turned even paler. 鈥淢aster, but you said you would never marry,鈥�
Long Kong blankly looked at her and said, 鈥淚f it’s not good, of course I won’t marry. It’s like your Uncle Flower Centipede, who married that brute of a Python God, and Lingchan is even worse. How could I ever be like them? But Ye Luguang is much better than those vulgar people. He’s young, and I’m almost 20 years older than him. This tender young grass is sweet to nibble on. If you were in my shoes, wouldn’t you marry him?鈥�
The white snake exclaimed in alarm, 鈥淢aster, why do you speak like this? This is, but is the heart of my disciple.鈥�
Long Kongkong said with disdain, 鈥淲hat heart? How old were you when you met him? How old is he? What do you know about love? You only saw that he was born with a holy body that can solve the short life of the true disciples of our religion. It’s not about true feelings. Alright, alright, don’t show me your sad face. The worst that can happen is that I’ll be the older one.鈥�
The white snake stared at her master for a long time, and then slowly nodded her head as she thought about the role of the innate holy body. 鈥淲ell, that’s not impossible, but if you’re a good master, won’t you become my sister?鈥�
Ye Guhong was shocked. He thought to himself that the Wuxian Sect was truly a barbarian tribe with no sense of propriety. Which cadre could stand such a test?
He couldn’t help but think back to the time when he was in the Wuxian Sect, when Hua Wu Kai joked about the sect leader, saying that her master and apprentice were deliberately trying to take advantage of everyone. Long Kong Kong was furious at the time, and his words still ring in his ears: 鈥淚f someone heard this nonsense, wouldn’t they think that our Wuxian Sect is a filthy place where there are always moral failings and no sense of propriety!鈥�
Now it seems that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to cheat.
With a quick glance, he hurriedly said, 鈥淣o, no, no. Since I am marrying into the family, I must be faithful. What? You Miao women don’t understand the true heart of a Han man like me. As the saying goes, if you can find someone who is willing to be faithful to you, you will grow old together and never part. I don’t want a concubine.鈥�
The white snake was dumbfounded and angrily said, 鈥淵e Guhong, don’t you know what’s good for you!鈥�
Long Kongkong laughed loudly and said, 鈥淵e Guhong, do you really want to provoke a rift between me and your master? Didn’t you say yourself that you want to marry into the family? Since you’re marrying into the family, naturally I’ll be the one making decisions about our family’s affairs. I’m going to let you marry the white snake as your second wife. If you don’t do it, it means you don’t love me.鈥�
The white snake laughed happily and said, 鈥淵ou’re still the best master I’ve ever had.鈥�
But then she heard Zhou Yanzhi sneer, 鈥淲hat a stupid demon girl, going to our school and going through all that trouble to steal my senior brother, and after all that, she’s become the junior wife. She’s got no sense at all, and she’s still so pretty.鈥�
The white snake angrily said, 鈥淪tupid girl, you’re a prisoner, how dare you speak!鈥�
Ye Guhong frowned and said, 鈥淲hite Snake, you captured my junior sister to lure me, but now that Miss Kongkong has captured me, why do you still want to capture my junior sister?鈥�
White Snake said with justification, 鈥淚f I don’t capture her, when will your master stop chasing after my master? Hey, to be honest, this brat is useless. I’ll just leave her behind and let her fend for herself.鈥�
Long Kongkong, however, said, 鈥淣o, no, this girl has extraordinary talent. Now that the Green Scorpion and Purple Scorpion have rebelled against the religion, it is just right for her to inherit the Scorpion lineage.鈥�
Ye Guhong suddenly remembered something when he heard this: 鈥淢aster, has the senior Jin Zhu returned to Wuxianling safely?鈥�
Four years ago, before Ye Kuhong and the others went to Wudang to pay their respects to the birthday boy, they made a special trip to Haiyan to pick up the site of the Divine Eagle Sect. Outside Jiaxing City, they rescued a mother and daughter who were being chased. They recognized each other’s Thousand Spider’s Deadly Hands kung fu, and there was a big fight. The mother and daughter took the opportunity to escape.
Just now, Ye Kuhong heard Long Kongkong say that Zhou Xiangling would inherit the Scorpion lineage, but he did not mention the Spider. Ye Kuhong suddenly remembered this.
Long Kongkong heard him address himself as the sect leader and knew that he was genuinely asking, so his expression softened and he nodded, saying, 鈥淲hat a stupid Golden Spider! She eloped with a fickle rake and even used her powers to help him, almost getting herself killed in the process. Although I had to punish her according to the rules of the sect, I also pitied her for her misfortune. I was going to the Condor Sect to get even, but I heard after I left Guizhou that the bastard got what he deserved and died at the hands of the third hero of Wudang. Now the daughter of Golden Spider is the messenger of our sect, so to speak, this is the gratitude that our sect owes you.”
Ye Kuhong frowned and said, 鈥漌hat do you mean by punishing according to the rules of the sect?鈥�
Long Kongkong looked at him sideways and said, 鈥淵ou haven’t even married into the family yet, and you’re already questioning the affairs of the sect? Don’t worry, she was only sent to the Cave of Poisonous Snakes once, and she’s already come out. When you go this time, I’ll let her thank you herself.鈥�
Zhou Xiangyi suddenly said, 鈥淢aster, in that case, my brother has been very kind to your Wuxian Sect. How can you repay him by doing evil?鈥�
Long Kongkong laughed and said, 鈥淲ho says we repay evil with good? All the Five Immortals of our sect will marry him as wives. Well, there’s one missing, Purple Scorpion… The worst that can happen is that the sect leader will fill in herself. Didn’t you hear your senior say that he has admired me for many years? Not only has he got what he wanted, he also has four young and beautiful concubines. If this is repaying evil with good, I’m afraid every man in the world would want to be repaid evil by our sect.鈥�
Ye Guhong could not have imagined that this Dragon Sect leader was so good at taking advantage of the situation. He had wanted to provoke a dispute between master and apprentice so that he could take advantage of the situation, but now she had taken advantage of the situation to turn the tables on him. Now he could not even fathom the woman’s thoughts.
But then Zhou Yanzhen frowned and said, 鈥淏ut after all, you are forcing your will on people. My fellow apprentices Wei and Jin both want to be my brother’s wife!鈥�
Jin Mingjun has always been overbearing, and she likes Ye Guhong almost to the point of showing it on her face. Only in front of Mie Jie does she hold back a little, and with regard to the other younger sisters, she puts on an air early on that no one is allowed to compete with me.
As for Wei Jinyi, although she doesn’t say much, she has her own ideas in her heart. Whenever Jin Mingjun puts on an air that no one is allowed to compete with me, she is soft and weak, but she clearly shows that she will forgive the younger sisters for trying.
After a few years like this, not to mention the Emei School, even Emei County at the foot of the mountain is well-known. Who Ye Guhong will marry is one of the three enduring conjectures in the county. Although Zhou Gengyi is young, when it comes to this matter, she can talk for eight days and nights.
The other two big guesses are whether the head of the martial arts school liked her senior brother, and whether Zhou Gangli would become the most beautiful woman in Emei when she grew up. The former topic is the favorite of men over 30, and the latter topic is the subject of endless debate among teenagers. As for who Ye Guhong will marry, it is the top of the three big guesses in Emei, which are popular with both men and women of all ages.
Jin Mingjun has a bad temper. Seeing that Zhou Yanzi has the looks of a beauty and is learning martial arts incredibly quickly, he is a little jealous. Wei Jinyi is much gentler, so Zhou Yanzi is now a supporter of Jinyi’s party.
Seeing that Long Kongkong and his disciple have no shame and are openly dividing up their senior, she cannot help but defend her senior.
Long Kongkong pursed his lips and said, 鈥淎re you talking about Wei Jinyi and Jin Mingjun? I’ve already met those two. They’re mediocre in talent and appearance. What merit do they have to be worthy of your brother? You Emei used to have a Ji Xiaorong, who, according to Flower Centipede, was quite outstanding, but she has already married Yin Liuxia of Wudang. Besides, unless your master personally steps down, or until you little girl grows up, no one else marrying Ye Kuhong would be an insult to him.”
Zhou Zengyi was shocked and said, 鈥漌hat are you talking about? How did you bring up my master?鈥�
While saying this, she couldn’t help but look at Ye Guhong. She saw her senior brother leaning sideways on his horse, swaying from side to side, and emitting a 鈥渉um, ooh鈥� sound. He should have looked very disheveled, but he was still handsome, which made her feel sad just looking at him. She couldn’t help but think to herself: These evil women are no good. If I hurry up and grow up and marry my senior brother, wouldn’t that be better than being taken advantage of by them?
She is only eleven years old now, and normally she only cares about what she is going to eat for lunch, how her martial arts training is going, or she is just following her senior sisters’ gossip. Now, after Long Kongkong mentioned it, her young girl’s heart suddenly blossomed, and she suddenly blushed and could no longer speak.
Long Kongkong and White Snake treated the young girl like a child, casually dismissing her without paying any extra attention, and they didn’t care about the young girl’s bright eyes, which were fixed firmly on her senior.
Although Long Kongkong laughed and scolded, seemingly unconcerned, he had already known before that her ability to eliminate disasters was above his own, and that she valued this disciple very highly. Therefore, he simply did not dare to stop, relying on his good horse and driving day and night. In a few days, he arrived at Tuojiang, found a large boat, and downstream, across the Yangtze River, and happened to be the land occupied by the Feishan barbarian Miao army. Yang Zhengheng was here with his eldest son Yang Tongguan, handling military affairs. A trusted associate saw the mount of Long Kongkong and his apprentice and recognized it as the one that the army commander had given to the Wuxian Sect. He hurriedly reported it, and Yang Zhengheng, upon learning of it, immediately came to meet them.
Long Kongkong had heard from Xue Wu that Ye Guhong had once impersonated Yang Guhong and claimed to be related to the Yang family, and had even stolen the family’s deadly weapon that had been passed down for generations. Not wanting to cause any more trouble, Long Kongkong quickly took a few items from her bosom and rubbed them on Ye Guhong’s face, instantly changing his appearance beyond recognition.
Ye Guhong did not expect that Long Kongkong also had a talent for disguise. Then he thought about the fact that she was only wrapped in thin sand, where did she get all these things? While he was lost in thought, Yang Zhengheng and his son had already arrived.
Yang Zhengheng was surprised to see that Long Kongkong had come in person, and he hurriedly asked the reason. Long Kongkong told a bunch of lies in a few words to fool him, and he did not stay long, but instead bid farewell to the Yang family father and son and went to Wuxian Ridge.
She left in a hurry, but she didn’t know that after she had left, Yang Tongguan stared at the white snake’s back and whispered, 鈥淔ather, I heard that this white snake is the beloved disciple of the Wuxian Sect’s leader, and her martial arts are also the best among the contemporary Wuxian emissaries. If I marry her, in time, won’t the Wuxian Sect be at my father and son’s disposal?鈥�
Yang Zhengheng pondered for a moment, then nodded: 鈥淵ou’re right. The reason why you, me and our father are so successful is because Xie Xiang was so ungrateful as to reject the good intentions of King Weisun. But no matter how beautiful Xie Xiang is, she can never compare to the Dragon King’s charm. If the Dragon Sect Leader became the princess, King Weisun would naturally not allow her, a woman, to remain in charge of the affairs of the Wuxian Sect at Wuxian Ridge. At that time, you married the White Snake, and you could immediately succeed to the position of Sect Leader. With you as the Sect Leader’s husband, the Wuxian Sect would immediately become my Yang family’s business.”
Yang Tongguan frowned and said, 鈥滷ather, although your plan is good, I’m afraid that King Weisun is attracted to the White Snake. She is much younger than her master, and her appearance is also better.鈥�
Yang Zhengheng gave a lecherous smile: 鈥淵ou’re still young, so you don’t know that when a man has seen a lot, his eyesight is different. King Weisun is older than I am, so of course he can see what’s so attractive about the Dragon Sect leader. Hehe, but then again, even if he really does fancy White Snake, so what? Just take the master and the disciple together, and you can marry that Snow Centipede woman. As long as it’s the leader of the Five Immortals Sect, that’s fine. A real man has his sights set on the world, so why worry about so many things?鈥�
Yang Tongguan frowned and said, 鈥淚n that case, I hope that King Weisun doesn’t fancy the White Snake. Although Xue Zhu is also very pretty, she is no match for the White Snake. She would be more than enough to be my concubine.鈥�
After some discussion, the father and son immediately got up and went to see King Weisun.
At this time, King Weisun was transporting a batch of food and fodder to supervise the battle. The camp was only a hundred miles away. The father and son were determined to take King Weisun to visit Wuxianling. At that time, once Long Kongkong appeared, they would not worry about their plot not succeeding!
