Chapter 166: Shocked Ning Zhongze

There was no other way, Ning Zhongze had to search everywhere like a headless fly.

Soon, her running around everywhere startled both Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan out.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Yue Lingshan asked, looking at the panicked Ning Zhongze with full confusion.

"Your father is gone!"

"My father has profound martial arts, and he's so old, could he really get lost? He must have gone out for something. Mother, why are you so anxious!"

Yue Lingshan asked, feeling a bit puzzled.

I can't help but be anxious! He didn't just go out; he went out with the Evil-Warding Sword Manual. If I don't find him, I'm afraid your father won't be complete anymore!

Ning Zhongze couldn't explain it to Yue Lingshan and could only pray with burning anxiety that Yue Buqun, after reading the title page of the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, could abandon the idea of practicing it. Huashan hadn't reached the end of its rope yet.

"Mistress, let me help you search elsewhere!"

Seeing Ning Zhongze so anxious, Linghu Chong also used his lightness skill to jump onto the roof, preparing to search further away.

"Come down! Where are you going in the middle of the night!"

Yue Buqun appeared from the darkness, his face pale and bloodless, his steps chaotic as he walked.

"Father, where did you go? Mother was almost worried to death!"

Yue Lingshan ran over. Seeing Yue Buqun's face didn't look too good, she thought it was the aftereffects of his inner demons not yet being cured, so she didn't find it strange.

Only Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Buqun in a daze. From Yue Buqun's actions and complexion, she could see that Yue Buqun must have already castrated himself and practiced the Evil-Warding Sword Manual.

What was this all for?

"Alright, the night is deep, go back to your rooms and sleep!" Yue Buqun said to Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong.

Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong didn't ask more and returned to their rooms respectively.

Ning Zhongze and Yue Buqun also returned to their room, the two sitting face to face, speechless.

Finally, Ning Zhongze couldn't help but break the silence. She asked tremblingly, "Senior Brother, in order to practice the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, have you already..."

"That's right. I must make trade-offs. Huashan was handed to me by Master. I must not only preserve Huashan but also carry it forward. Now the situation is critical, Zuo Lengchan is eyeing us like a tiger, and I cannot afford to consider too much!"

Yue Buqun also knew he couldn't hide it from Ning Zhongze. After all, the Evil-Warding Sword Manual was taken from her, and she must have read it.

"But we could go beg Young Master Lin! As long as he is willing to help, Zuo Lengchan's Songshan Sect poses no threat at all!"

"Why would Lin Fan help us? He has no relation to my Huashan. Saving Shan'er and Chong'er last time was just a coincidence. Furthermore, I have offended him. I see he has many women behind him and is a romantic youth. If I want him to help, I'd have to send a woman to him. Send whom? Send Shan'er or you?"

Yue Buqun asked coldly.

"You, how can you say that to me? Young Master Lin is not that kind of person. I have never heard of any woman around him being sent by others!"

"Touching a sore spot? Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin—calling him so intimately, could it be you have already had an affair with him?"

"Yue Buqun, don't go too far! Am I, Ning Zhongze, that kind of person?"

Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Buqun in disappointment. She really couldn't understand where that graceful and gentle Senior Brother from back then had gone, and how he had become so dark.

"You're not that kind of person? Tell me where the Evil-Warding Sword Manual came from. It couldn't have been something you picked up, right? Do you dare swear that this Evil-Warding Sword Manual has nothing to do with Lin Fan?"

Ning Zhongze didn't speak. The Evil-Warding Sword Manual was a reward given to her by the diary copy. Strictly speaking, it really did have something to do with Lin Fan.

"Why aren't you speaking? Weren't you just being righteous and justified?"

Yue Buqun pressed hard, refusing to let go.

"Yue Buqun, I don't want to explain anything more, but the innocent are innocent. I have never had any over-the-line relationship with Young Master Lin. Believe it or not!"

Ning Zhongze was heartbroken by Yue Buqun and didn't want to explain too much.

"Believe, I believe. He must not have succeeded yet, so he gave you the Evil-Warding Sword Manual for me to practice. Once I couldn't help but practice the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, he could easily take you!"

Yue Buqun's expression was dark, appearing as if he were mad.

"Your thinking is truly dark. You insisted on practicing the Evil-Warding Sword Manual secretly yourself; why do you have to find excuses for yourself?"

"Junior Sister, you don't need to hide anything. Lin Fan has peerless martial arts and is romantic; it's understandable that you have a good impression of him!"

"Crazy, you are truly crazy!"

Ning Zhongze left the room in anger and went to sleep in Yue Lingshan's room. Looking at the current Yue Buqun, she felt a chill in her bones.

Lin Fan didn't know about Yue Buqun's castration. Early the next morning, looking at Wang Yuyan, whose skin was like jade, he couldn't help but have a morning exercise.

It wasn't until the women gathered at Lin Fan's door that their morning exercise ended.

Lin Fan dressed leisurely and opened the door. Wang Yuyan hid under the quilt, not daring to be seen.

"Alright, you all follow me down. Don't embarrass Yuyan to death. Rong'er, I'm talking about you. You're restless—what are you trying to do?"

Lin Fan grabbed Huang Rong's waist and took her away.

"Brother Fan, let me go. I wasn't trying to do anything!"

Unfortunately, Lin Fan had already seen Huang Rong's eyeballs rolling around and knew she was plotting something, so he forcibly took her away.

The other women covered their mouths and giggled, then followed.

"Get up, why are you still hiding inside?" ===== CHAPTER 168 =====
