Chapter 339 - Leaving the Huashan Mountain
In the face of Ling Xiao's light smile, Yue Lingshan's expression did not look happy at all. Instead, she looked depressed, as if she was extremely unwilling to face some things.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao walked over to Yue Lingshan's side and wrapped his arm around Yue Lingshan's waist, and whispered: "Shan Er, what are you thinking about?"
Yue Lingshan lifted her head, looked at Ling Xiao's face, and with a face full of complaint, she said, "Big Brother Ling Xiao, you know this in your heart!"
Slightly patting Yue Lingshan's head, Ling Xiao smiled bitterly: "Shan'er, as the Sect Leader, I am naturally responsible for the safety of the Huashan Mountain, and at the same time, I must think of a way to improve the development of the Huashan Mountain. Thus, this time, my departure is inevitable."
Hearing that, Yue Lingshan did not reply, but threw herself into Ling Xiao's embrace. Seeing that, Ling Xiao hugged Yue Lingshan tightly, and remained silent for a while.
Until Yue Lingshan took the initiative to look up and said: "Big Brother Ling Xiao, when are you leaving?"
"There are still two more days until things are settled." Ling Xiao said.
After hearing this, Yue Lingshan buried her face in Ling Xiao's chest again, and said: "Then can you accompany me today?"
"Sure, you can go anywhere you want." After Ling Xiao heard this, he patted Yue Lingshan's back and said.
Just like this, Ling Xiao accompanied Yue Lingshan for a day, and at the same time, tried to appease him. After all, she didn't know when she would be able to come back again after this trip, and if Yue Lingshan couldn't bear it any longer and left the Huashan Mountain to find him, it would be very easy for him to encounter danger, and at that time, Ling Xiao might not even be able to make it in time.
"Big Brother Ling Xiao, although I promise you that I won't run around, I will work hard to learn the new technique. After I learn it, if you still haven't returned, I will look for you." Yue Lingshan said with a serious face.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed emotionally: "Alright, when you learn the new technique, you will also be a powerful expert. If you want to find me at that time, it will be easy to find him."
"Mhmm!" After Yue Lingshan heard this, her eyes were filled with confidence as she nodded her head forcefully.
On the second day, Ning Zhong sent someone to invite Ling Xiao to the great hall, saying that there was something he needed to do.
Arriving at the great hall, Ling Xiao could guess what Ning Zhong looked excited about.
"It seems like everything has been delivered." Ling Xiao said with a smile.
Ning Zhongze nodded and said, "Yes, Sect Leader Ling. At the beginning, I didn't dare to believe it, but after personally seeing those materials quietly lying on the ground, I was willing to believe it."
"Yes, are those people here yet?" Ling Xiao asked.
Ning Zhong replied, "No, I didn't. I just left everything behind."
"It means that they still have some doubts towards us, because they are a subsidiary sect of the Huashan Mountain, they themselves do not have much power, so they can only rely on us. If we do not display sufficient strength in the future, they will definitely rebel." Ling Xiao said.
Hearing this, Ning Zhongze retracted his smile, and solemnly nodded his head: "Yes, Sect Leader Ling, I will do my best to manage Huashan Mountain well."
"Hmm, are these supplies enough?" Ling Xiao asked.
"That's enough. Even if another thousand people come, that's enough." Ning Zhong replied.
"Alright, since the matter of the materials has been settled, then I should prepare to set off." Ling Xiao looked at Ning Zhongze and said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Ning Zhong was startled. Although Ling Xiao had already informed her beforehand, when facing this kind of matter, Ning Zhong realized that she was still not mentally prepared.
Ever since Yue Buqun left the Huashan Mountain, the entire Huashan Mountain had become a pile of sand. If not for Ning Zhong using his identity to forcefully suppress the clan leader, the Huashan Mountain would probably not have even waited for the Mount Hua Sword Sect's traitors to find trouble with him.
In the following days, Huashan Mountain relied on Ling Xiao's strength to barely protect himself, but now that Ling Xiao wanted to leave, it meant that the strongest person in Huashan Mountain was going to leave, while Ning Zhong suddenly felt that his heart was empty, and even started to panic, because she couldn't get used to not having Ling Xiao around.
Looking at Ning Zhongze's expression, Ling Xiao smiled and comforted him: "Huashan Mountain is no longer the same kind of place where we can only be bullied in the past. Furthermore, with Lu Da and Lao Denuo here, they will protect Huashan Mountain well, and you and Shan'er well."
Hearing this, Ning Zhong sighed lightly and said: "Sect Leader Ling, perhaps you have helped us too much and helped to make me rely on you. Actually, you don't have to do so much for Huashan Mountain."
"What are you saying, Lady Ning? Although he is already lonely, you all still chose to leave this place for me in the end. If not for driving me out, then just for this reason, I have no reason to watch as the Huashan Mountain is bullied by outsiders." Hearing that, Ling Xiao shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Ning Zhongze nodded his head in gratitude: "On behalf of Huashan Mountain, I will definitely follow your lead. No matter what orders you make, we will follow them with all our might, without any hesitation!"
Seeing that, Ling Xiao laughed: "Don't worry, I won't go all out. I will not let Huashan Mountain fall to such a state."
After saying a few more words, Ning Zhong realized that even if he said anything, he wouldn't be able to stop Ling Xiao from leaving the Huashan Mountain. He could only force himself to accept this fact.
She was a woman after all. Her husband had disappeared, and she wasn't even sure if he was alive or dead. Although she loathed and loathed him, he was still a husband and wife in name.
The most important thing was that what Yue Buqun had done previously had caused Ning Zhong to feel a chill in his heart. If possible, Ning Zhong wanted to personally understand Yue Buqun's life, and it was precisely this kind of hatred that caused Ning Zhong to not forget the man who wanted his life.
Originally, Ning Zhongze didn't know exactly how deep his feelings for Ling Xiao had grown. Only now, did he realize that he had already fallen in love with Ling Xiao, but he couldn't say it out loud, or at least, was unable to face his own daughter.
Ling Xiao thought carefully, and as for the various changes in Ning Zhongze's expression, he had more or less guessed it, but what shouldn't happen cannot happen. Ling Xiao laughed lightly and said: "Lady Ning, then let's part ways here.
Ling Xiao's words pulled Ning Zhongze out of his thoughts, and then, he retracted the emotions in his heart. He raised his head and said: "Sect Leader Ling, I'll send you off."
After Ling Xiao heard this, he shook his head and said: "No need, the things here are very busy, I will leave by myself.
