Family Scandal

Ji Boying looked at his master with a distraught expression.

Yue Buqun also pretended to be somewhat embarrassed and sighed.

Daoist Tiansong then spoke loudly again in the flower hall, recounting how the Mount Hua Sect encountered the man in black.

His explanation was even more detailed than Ji Boying's own.

Having already concluded that the Alliance Leader Zuo was plotting something, he elaborated on many details and his own thoughts.

After finishing his explanation, while everyone was still processing it, Daoist Tiansong added a few more words expressing his admiration for Yue Buqun.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Master Tianmen couldn't help but snort.

"Junior Brother Yue is good in every way, except for his character... his character... he's a little too honest."

The Tianmen Leader looked at Yue Buqun with a rather complicated expression, and then glanced at Ji Boying with a sigh.

It may seem like a reprimand, but it's actually a compliment.

Judging from Ji Boying's incredulous expression, it's clear that Yue Buqun has instilled the spirit of chivalry into his very bones, making him a truly upright person.

The Mount Hua Sect has produced such a disciple with unparalleled martial arts skills, but the disciple's righteousness and simplicity seem to be a slight flaw.

But this minor flaw is actually a plus.

Being simple-minded and kind-hearted is not a bad thing; what's bad is the world and people's hearts, and you can't blame good people for it.

Therefore, ordinary people who lack sufficient skills can only adapt to their environment to avoid lifelong regret.

Someone with exceptional martial arts skills like Ji Boying could easily gain some simple freedom.

His exceptional talent and ability to maintain a righteous heart make him all the more remarkable.

Everyone understood that Daoist Tianmen was derogatory but actually complimentary. Liu Zhengfeng and the others looked at Yue Buqun and his disciple with a mixture of envy and admiration.

"Child, you are young and new to the world, and you grew up under the tutelage of your master Gentleman Sword. How could you possibly know the wickedness of the human heart..."

Seeing Ji Boying's shocked and bewildered expression, Abbess Dingyi couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

He walked to the side, gently patted Ji Boying on the shoulder, and comforted him.

Mr. Mo Da spoke again.

"Senior Brother Yue, tell me, were those four men in black really from the Songshan Sect?"

The Five Great Mountains Sword Sects claim to be of one mind and as close as family, but in reality, they are still five different sects.

Some judge people's skill level based on when they started learning, while others judge them based on age.

Therefore, it's not very convenient to use terms like "senior brother," "senior sister," "junior brother," and "junior sister."

If you don't want to be close, address each other as senior brother or junior brother according to age; if you want to be polite, then call each other senior brother.

Mr. Mo Da is the head of the Mount Heng, Yue Buqun is the Mount Hua Sect Leader, so they naturally treat each other with more politeness and respect.

Of course, the way they addressed each other wasn't fixed; they could call each other "brother" when they were happy, and not when they weren't.

"Senior Brother Mo, alas... I originally intended to consider the overall situation and not reveal these things. Even when Boying asked me, I did not say a word. I did not expect that you would still see through the clues."

Mr. Mo Da sighed.

"We really shouldn't have kept it from them. We care about our reputation, but they don't."

"Brother Yue puts the overall situation first and endures humiliation. Liu Zhengfeng admires him."

Liu Zhengfeng commented with a word of praise.

But the worries in his heart did not dissipate. Daoist Master Tianmen had always been irreconcilably opposed to the Demonic Cult Sect, and his own senior brother rarely associated with him. As for the truth of his relationship with Brother Qu Yang, he still did not know...

Mr. Mo Da raised his eyelids and glanced around.

He sighed, "You've come from afar, all out of respect for our Mount Heng Sect..."

"What are you saying? Forget about saving face, we're all family."

"Indeed, indeed, Senior Brother Mo is too kind."

Daoist Tiansong and the others started talking all at once.

Before Mo Da could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

Mo Da also felt deeply grateful.

"Alright! Since my fellow disciples treat me like family, I, Mo Da, will not hide anything. Within our Five Great Mountains Sword Sects, there are treacherous villains and ambitious scoundrels, but there is also our family who share weal and woe."

"Senior brother is right!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but praise him.

The Five Great Mountains Sword Sects has both good and bad people, and the same is true in the Demonic Cult. Over the past hundred years, life and death, hatred and grudges have become indistinguishable. All they seek are those who are loyal and devoted to each other, sharing life and death.

While Mr. Mo Da was talking about the Five Great Mountains Sword Sects, Liu Zhengfeng was praising himself and Qu Yang, and thought that his senior brother had agreed to the relationship between him and Brother Qu Yang.

Mr. Mo Da merely snorted and gave his junior brother a cold glance.

Liu Zhengfeng looked slightly embarrassed and lowered his head again.

"They say family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, but now we have no choice but to air them. It's true, I have Mo Da let down the ancestors of the Mount Heng Sect. There are people in the sect who associate with the Demonic Cult Sect, and there is also Golden-Eyed Crow who conspires with the Songshan Sect."

This statement caused another uproar.

Lu Lianrong, the Golden Eyed Vulture, was a fellow disciple of Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng, and his martial arts skills were also quite high.

Because of his talkative and gossipy nature, which made him unpopular, people who disliked him called him a crow.

Judging from what Mr. Mo Da said, it is clear that Lu Lianrong has already colluded with the Songshan Sect.

This is a major taboo for every family and sect.

This is something that no sect could tolerate.

"Senior brother, is this... is this real?"

Liu Zhengfeng was somewhat incredulous.

In fact, his power was even greater than that of Mr. Mo Da, since Mr. Mo Da didn't really care about the mundane affairs of the Mount Heng Sect.

He had a wide network of connections, was well-informed, and had many informants, yet he knew nothing about this matter.

Mr. Mo Da glanced at his junior brother again, and Liu Zhengfeng became even more embarrassed, slowly lowering his head and not daring to meet his senior brother's gaze.

Liu Zhengfeng was also filled with frustration.

He felt quite ashamed and realized what had happened.

In recent years, all I've thought about is playing the qin and xiao with Brother Qu Yang and rehearsing "The Smiling, the Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

In addition, since Brother Qu Yang was indeed a member of the Demonic Cult Sect, he had racked his brains to come up with the idea of Washing Hands in a Golden Basin in order to resolve this matter.

Of course, there are many things that I haven't noticed in the past few years.

Lu Lianrong was a top expert of the Mount Heng Sect, and the other disciples had no way of monitoring him.

That was indeed my dereliction of duty.

"Since Senior Brother Mo is so frank, I won't hide anything from you either."

The one who spoke was Yue Buqun Gentleman Sword Mount Hua.

Everyone turned their gazes in surprise. The Mount Hua Sect had already been attacked and killed by men in black. Could there be other hidden stories?

Yue Buqun put on a pained expression.

Hearing Mo Da's words, she was secretly overjoyed.

At this moment, he also had to expose his own shortcomings.
