Chapter 215: Golden Basin Hand-Washing Assembly

Regardless of what mistakes Yue Buqun made, his original intention was good; at the beginning, he just wanted to guard the Huashan Sect well.

Unfortunately, reality forced him to bow his head. When a gentleman is addicted to conspiracy and calculation, the former Gentleman Sword has also become today's embroidery needle. This is how sad it is.

Everything is fate, and nothing can be helped by oneself.

Lin Fan's group, led by the servants of the Liu Fu, passed through several long corridors and arrived at the main hall.

"The Huashan Sect has arrived!"

The servant of the Liu Fu shouted, then bid farewell and left.

After Lin Fan took his seat, he sized up the people present, but didn't see anyone familiar. It seemed they were just a bunch of extras.

So he lost interest and drank tea and chatted with Yue Buqun.

"The Hengshan Sect has arrived!"

After a while, someone in the front hall announced. The people present heard this and looked curiously toward the long corridor.

Immediately, a group of nuns walked over from the long corridor. A naive little nun followed closely behind, trying hard to control her eyes, not letting herself look around, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity. Her conflicted appearance made Lin Fan laugh. Who else could it be but Yilin?

"Ah, it's Big Brother Lin. Hello, Big Brother Lin. Master, yesterday it was Young Master Tianji, Big Brother Lin, who saved me from Tian Boguang!"

Yilin hurriedly introduced Lin Fan to the leading nun.

"Oh? So it is Young Master Tianji. This nun Dingyi pays her respects. I must thank you for saving Yilin yesterday!"

"Master Dingyi, you don't have to be polite. Tian Boguang, as a lecherous thief, should be killed by everyone. If I meet him, I naturally won't let him go. I'm afraid only those who cannot distinguish right from wrong would make friends with him."

Lin Fan said politely, and also insulted Linghu Chong.

After hearing Lin Fan's words, the expressions of Master Dingyi and Yue Buqun changed slightly. They had all heard about what happened at the Huiyan Restaurant, and they naturally heard about Linghu Chong's behavior.

"My disciple is unruly and cannot distinguish right from wrong. I punished him last night, so I hope Young Master Lin and Junior Sister Dingyi will forgive him!"

Yue Buqun walked out and bowed slightly to express his apology. After he learned about Linghu Chong's actions last night, he gave him thirty heavy boards, which was why Linghu Chong was immobile today.

"Originally, it's not easy for me to interfere in the internal affairs of the Huashan Sect, but as the saying goes, if a child is not taught, it is the father's fault; if teaching is not strict, it is the master's laziness. Linghu Chong, as the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sect, represents the face of the Huashan Sect in every word and action when he is out. He actually dared to associate with a lecherous thief. Senior Brother Yue, you really should discipline him well. However, although his martial arts are not as good as Tian Boguang's, he had the heart to save Yilin after all. He still has a chivalrous heart, so Senior Brother Yue just needs to guide him well, no need to be too harsh!"

Master Dingyi was also somewhat dissatisfied with Linghu Chong's style of conduct, but she affirmed his heart.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Dingyi, for pleading for my disciple. Yue will definitely discipline my inferior disciple well and guide him to the right path!"

"The Taishan Sect has arrived!"

The front hall shouted again. Soon, a group of Daoist priests walked in from the long corridor. Tiansong, who was scared away by Lin Fan yesterday, was also among them. He also saw Lin Fan, so he hurriedly turned his head away.

"Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Tianmen saw that Tiansong's expression was wrong and hurriedly asked.

"Nothing!"

Tiansong naturally wouldn't say that he was scared away by Lin Fan; how shameful that would be.

Lin Fan nodded slightly. This Tiansong had no problems other than being a bit arrogant, but he could be considered a person who knows the current affairs. If he intensified the conflict between the Taishan Sect and himself, that would truly be stupid.

After another while, Liu Zhengfeng walked in. It was already the second quarter of the hour of the Snake. Except for the Songshan Sect, all the Five Mountains sects had arrived. He didn't wait any longer and prepared to start the Golden Basin Hand-Washing directly.

"I have already greeted the Songshan Sect, but the brothers of the Songshan Sect have not arrived, so they clearly won't come. Since that is the case, let's officially start today's Golden Basin Hand-Washing Assembly!"

"Thank you all for coming to watch the ceremony today. I believe you all know that I, Liu, am untalented and accepted the imperial court's appointment, earning a small position as a lieutenant. As the saying goes, eat the king's salary and be loyal to the king's affairs. From now on, Liu Zhengfeng will quit the Wu Lin and no longer ask about the affairs of the Wu Lin."

Liu Zhengfeng found an excuse and prepared to start washing his hands in the golden basin.

"Junior Brother Liu, originally everyone has their own aspirations, and we shouldn't stop you from being an official. But you are the person in charge of the Hengshan Sect, always acting chivalrously and righteously, and are deeply respected by your peers! Now you have become a running dog of the imperial court. Aren't you afraid of damaging your chivalrous name and being ridiculed by your Wu Lin peers behind your back?"

Daoist Tianmen walked out. He had always had no good feelings for the imperial court, and now that Liu Zhengfeng was quitting the Wu Lin for a sesame-sized official position, it really made him both puzzled and disdainful.

"That's right, Senior Brother Liu, please think twice!"

Master Dingyi also walked out to dissuade Liu Zhengfeng. As for Yue Buqun, he was just drinking tea silently at the moment and had no intention of speaking.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Tianmen and Senior Sister Dingyi, for your persuasion, but my mind is made up!"

Liu Zhengfeng smiled slightly and still politely declined their dissuasion.

Daoist Tianmen and Master Dingyi's expressions changed upon hearing this.

"Since Senior Brother Liu's mind is made up, it is not convenient for us to say more!"

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Having persuaded Daoist Tianmen and Master Dingyi, and Yue Buqun having no intention to speak, Liu Zhengfeng continued to start washing his hands in the golden basin.

"Today, Liu Zhengfeng will wash his hands in the golden basin and quit the Wu Lin. In the future, those who come to my Liu Fu will still be friends of Liu, and Liu will definitely treat them warmly. But as for the grievances and rights and wrongs in the Wu Lin, I hope Liu will no longer participate."

Saying this, Liu Zhengfeng signaled his disciples to bring the golden basin, and just as he was about to reach his hand in.

"Wait, Alliance Master Zuo has an order: Liu Zhengfeng is not allowed to wash his hands in the golden basin!"

Suddenly, someone outside the hall shouted to stop Liu Zhengfeng.

Liu Zhengfeng's expression changed, and then he ignored it and continued to reach his hand toward the golden basin.

"Stop! The Five Mountains Sword Sect command flag is here. By the order of Alliance Master Zuo, Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Hand-Washing matter is temporarily shelved and will be discussed later!"

While speaking, many Songshan disciples suddenly appeared, blocking the entire hall tightly.

"The Five Mountains Sword Sect command flag is made by the Five Mountains together. Seeing the flag is like seeing the Alliance Master. It's just that today I, Liu Zhengfeng, have decided to wash my hands in the golden basin. This is purely a personal matter, and the command flag cannot control me!"

Liu Zhengfeng did not compromise and ignored the Five Mountains command flag. ===== CHAPTER 217 =====
