Chapter 194 The Best of All Worlds
Zhu Chengwu, who had tested the true strength of Zhao Shilin and Gongsun Lei and had some guesses about Feng Qingyang and Yue Buqun's original plan, looked at Zhao Shilin and Gongsun Lei standing in front of him in silence for a long time.

Zhu Chengwu didn't expect that his original intention of coming to Huashan was to make up for his guilt towards Feng Qingyang, but it led to a series of accidents.

First there was the internal struggle in Huashan, then there was the conflict between Zhao Shilin and Gongsun Lei...

However, this is fine!
In addition to Feng Qingyang, the people who Zhu Chengwu felt a little guilty and concerned about included his cousin Zhao Xinghan, the Red Flower Ghost Mother Gongsun Daniang and her family...

Now, it is just the right time to deal with the three at once, allowing Zhu Chengwu to be ready for the final breakthrough to the Grandmaster level.

Although Zhu Chengwu speculated that Feng Qingyang might have selfish motives in saving Zhao Shilin and Gongsun Lei.

But selfishness is one thing, and Feng Qingyang did save Zhao Shilin and Gongsun Lei is another. Moreover, Feng Qingyang has never done anything wrong to Zhu Chengwu. On the contrary, it was Zhu Chengwu who suddenly disappeared...

Zhu Chengwu should increase the proportion of his return to the Huashan Sect, which Feng Qingyang cares about.

As for Zhao Shilin and Gongsun Lei...

Gongsun Lei is the most innocent. His grandfather, father and mother all sacrificed themselves for Zhu Chengwu directly or indirectly.

He maintained his sanity at the age of six or seven, and even under the calculations and arrangements of others, he married a wife of unknown origin and left two bloodlines.

Zhu Chengwu should compensate Gongsun Lei.

As for Zhao Shilin, all I can say is that time is the most powerful way to change people!

Zhao Shilin was also innocent. His father, mother and other family members also died in the chain reaction caused by Zhu Chengwu's sudden disappearance.

But for Zhao Shilin now, revenge and martial arts may not be his biggest pursuits.

Affection and love are what he wants most now.

"Master Yue, my cousin Zhao Xinghan, Madam Gongsun's family, and Senior Feng Qingyang have all helped me a lot. I should repay Huashan Sect, Shilin, and Gongsun!

However, I am a martial arts tyrant. The only thing I am good at in this life is martial arts. All I can show off are my martial arts skills and a few magical manuals!

Master Yue, you are a famous gentleman in the martial arts world, and you are very wise. Do you have any idea to achieve the best of both worlds? "

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Chengwu turned his gaze to the current Huashan leader Yue Buqun.

From friend Buqun to Sect Leader Yue, Zhu Chengwu understands that Yue Buqun is now the key to his attempt to have the best of three worlds.

"My Lord, if you have given me an order, I dare not disobey..."

Seeing Zhu Chengwu looking at him, Yue Buqun was startled and answered reflexively.

But as he watched Zhu Chengwu's eyes change, Yue Buqun's voice unconsciously became smaller and smaller.

"I dare not disobey... Sect Master Yue, I will not embarrass you! If you have no objection, I hope you can betroth your daughter to Shilin. As a betrothal gift and as a reward for your Huashan Sect's taking care of Shilin and Gongsun for 25 years, I will give you a magical skill manual that I have revised and improved!
I don't know whether you and the Huashan Sect have obtained the magical skill manual "Xiantian Gangqi" that I created twenty-eight years ago from Shilin and Gongsun!
But I can tell you responsibly that after more than 20 years of revision and improvement, the brand new "Xiantian Gangqi" in my hand is definitely not inferior to Shaolin Yijin Xisui and Wudang Taijiquan Sword!"

Looking at Yue Buqun who was cautious under his gaze, Zhu Chengwu spoke directly.

After the tentative move of letting Yue Buqun speak and giving up the initiative to speak, and looking at the subsequent developments brought about by this move, Zhu Chengwu was certain that after not seeing anyone for 25 years, he became more and more fond of speaking directly when communicating with others.

It is such a waste of time to hide things, guide each other step by step, and guess each other's intentions.

"My Lord, if you are willing to bring us together, then it is naturally my daughter's blessing!"

After thinking for a moment, Yue Buqun ignored the eye contact from his wife Ning Zhongze, nor did he pay attention to the increasingly ugly expression on the face of the eldest disciple Linghu Chong among the group of disciples, and answered like this.

Although the pressure was different from that in Zhu Chengwu's previous life.

But Yue Buqun is always Yue Buqun. In his heart, Huashan Sect is always the first.

Zhu Chengwu has reappeared in the world. The best choice for him to preserve the inheritance of Huashan Sect and bring Huashan Sect back to its peak is to hold on to Zhu Chengwu's thigh tightly.

"Wait a minute! Master, I'm going to..."

Seeing that his master Yue Buqun agreed to Zhu Chengwu's suggestion, Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple in the Huashan group, finally could not stand it anymore. He jumped forward and was about to stop Yue Buqun from agreeing to marry his junior sister Yue Lingshan to the "very old" Zhao Shilin.

However, as soon as Linghu Chong jumped out of the crowd, his voice stopped abruptly.

Because Zhu Chengwu's true energy left his body and controlled Linghu Chong's body.

Linghu Chong is now in a state where he cannot move or speak.

"Chong'er~~~~"

Seeing Linghu Chong being restrained, Ning Zhongze, who was beside Yue Buqun and was as close to Linghu Chong as a son, exclaimed and stepped forward to check on Linghu Chong's condition.

But the next moment, Ning Zhongze was grabbed by Yue Buqun.

With Zhu Chengwu present at the scene, Ning Zhongze's actions were meaningless and might even anger Zhu Chengwu.

Although Yue Buqun was also very concerned about Linghu Chong, who he raised and was talented and was being trained to be the next leader.

But Yue Buqun is more rational!
Knowing the current situation, who is the key to everything.

"Master Hou~~"

After Yue Buqun grabbed Ning Zhongze, he looked at Zhu Chengwu and called him softly.

It seems like nothing was said, but in fact everything was said.

"Master Yue, Madam Ning, don't worry! I just controlled him temporarily, he's fine!
After all, I have some friendship with Senior Feng Qingyang, and I will not easily attack the descendants of Huashan Sect!
For the sake of Senior Feng Qingyang, even if Sect Leader Yue and Madam Ning do not agree to this marriage, I will leave behind the "Xiantian Gangqi" that I have perfected, as a reward for Senior Feng Qingyang and Huashan for taking care of my two disciples for more than 20 years!"

Zhu Chengwu said this as he looked at Yue Buqun who was suppressing his anxiety in his heart and Ning Zhongze who showed his concern on his face.

Upon hearing Zhu Chengwu say that Linghu Chong was fine, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze both breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Chengwu said that Linghu Chong was fine, so Linghu Chong was really fine.

With Zhu Chengwu's current strength and status, it is impossible for him to deceive Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze in public because of such a small matter.

But Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, who were relieved, glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes, and realized that they could not refuse the marriage between their daughter Yue Lingshan and Zhao Shilin today.

For a man of Zhu Chengwu's power and status, he has spoken so frankly!

If he refuses, won’t Zhu Chengwu be embarrassed?
But if you can't refuse, you have to refuse!
Ning Zhongze thought resolutely in his heart.

Ning Zhongze, like Yue Buqun, can see the current situation clearly, but there is one biggest difference between them. That is, Yue Buqun cares more about the Huashan Sect, while Ning Zhongze values ​​his family more.

"My Lord, I..."

When Yue Buqun was about to agree, Ning Zhongze interrupted him.

"My Lord, I think everything depends on the young man's own wishes! After all, a forced melon is not sweet!"

Ning Zhongze interrupted.

"Mrs. Ning is right!"

Zhu Chengwu looked at Ning Zhongze and nodded silently. Did Ning Zhongze think she could find an excuse to reject Zhu Chengwu?

Then she was underestimating Zhu Chengwu.

In fact, the current situation may not require Zhu Chengwu to make any forced arrangements.

"Miss Lingshan, please stand up and tell us what you think!"

As everyone turned their gazes to look at her, Yue Lingshan shyly walked out from the group of Huashan Sect disciples and walked to the center of the venue.

"My Lord, Father, Mother, Shan'er is willing!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yue Lingshan glanced at Linghu Chong, who was held immobile by Zhu Chengwu's innate energy, suppressed her hesitation, and whispered to Zhu Chengwu and Yue Buqun Ningzhongze.

This whisper immediately made Zhao Shilin delighted, Linghu Chong shocked, and Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze and other people from Huashan stunned and puzzled.

"Shan'er, what did you say?"

Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Lingshan in disbelief.

Linghu Chong also had many questions to ask his childhood sweetheart Yue Lingshan, but he could not control his own body at all and could not make a sound. He could only look at his junior sister who had grown up with him with bulging blood vessels in his eyes.

"Mother, my daughter is willing!"

Yue Lingshan's answer this time was even quieter, but although there were many people present, there was no noise at all. In addition, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were both first-rate masters, so they could still hear Yue Lingshan's answer clearly.

"Okay! In that case, Sect Leader Yue, Madam Ning, this engagement is concluded!"

Zhu Chengwu turned his gaze from Yue Lingshan back to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze.

Yue Lingshan's choice was not unexpected to Zhu Chengwu.

When Zhao Shilin knelt down before, Zhu Chengwu sensed the hesitation and worry in Yue Lingshan's heart through the powerful spiritual perception of the Supreme Grand Master.

A playboy like Linghu Chong is certainly attractive to women, but a middle-aged man like Zhao Shilin is also quite attractive to young girls.

Otherwise, Zhu Chengwu wouldn’t have had so many old-young pairs in his previous life.

What's more, Zhao Shilin has a good appearance, and his current realm and strength are above the young Linghu Chong, and there is also Zhao Shilin's deliberate flattery.

Although Yue Lingshan lives with her parents, Yue Buqun devotes most of his energy to the Huashan Sect, so Yue Lingshan still lacks fatherly love a little, and the existence of Zhao Shilin just makes up for this gap.

In fact, the relationship between Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong is not very strong. The reason why Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong became a recognized couple on Mount Huashan is simply because Yue Lingshan had no other choice on Mount Huashan.

Otherwise, in the popular TV series in Zhu Chengwu's previous life, Yue Lingshan would not have fallen in love with someone else so easily in such a short time after Lin Pingzhi appeared in Huashan and had a second choice.

Of course, Zhu Chengwu went with the flow because, in addition to his slight sense of guilt and desire to compensate Zhao Xinghan and Zhao Shilin, father and son, Zhu Chengwu did not like Linghu Chong and did not think that the prodigal son Linghu Chong could shoulder the heavy burden of the Huashan Sect.

Perhaps this is due to Zhu Chengwu’s inherent impression!

The Linghu Chong in this real world has a different personality from the Linghu Chong in the popular TV series in Zhu Chengwu's previous life, and is different from Zhu Chengwu's inherent impression.

But now that Zhu Chengwu has the qualifications to do whatever he wants, it can only be considered that Linghu Chong is unlucky.

Who made Linghu Chong not only in competition with Zhu Chengwu's disciple Zhao Shilin, but also make Zhu Chengwu dislike him?

The attitude of a superior may very likely lead to an unbearable disaster for the inferior.

Given Zhu Chengwu's current strength and status, his displeasure is an unbearable burden for Linghu Chong.

"Since Lingshan agrees, we are naturally happy to see it happen!"

Although Linghu Chong was disheartened, this did not stop his respected master Yue Buqun from accepting the marriage proposal from Zhu Chengwu.

Although Yue Buqun sympathized with his eldest disciple Linghu Chong's current situation, in his heart it was more important to please Zhu Chengwu and promote the development of the Huashan Sect.

Moreover, Yue Buqun thought that it was not entirely his fault, because Linghu Chong was so incompetent that he could not even win the heart of Yue Lingshan, his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him!
Yue Buqun has now selectively forgotten that just before Yue Lingshan said she agreed, he had already agreed to Zhu Chengwu's decision to let Zhao Shilin and Yue Lingshan get married.

People will unconsciously make excuses for themselves and unconsciously favor themselves.

Although Ning Zhongze still had some thoughts in his mind, he was worried that his daughter would regret it in the future and not be happy in the future, and he was also worried that Linghu Chong, who he had watched grow up, would be unable to get over it. But since Yue Lingshan agreed and Yue Buqun also agreed, she had no reason or excuse to refuse and could only look at Linghu Chong, who suddenly became decadent and lifeless, with a pair of worried and kind eyes.

"Master Yue, Madam Ning! Since there is something good happening today, let me help the Huashan Sect!"

As he spoke, Zhu Chengwu took out a secret book that he had prepared long ago from his arms and threw it to Yue Buqun.

This is the magical book "Xiantian Gangqi" modified and improved by Zhu Chengwu.

This was originally what Zhu Chengwu was going to use to repay Feng Qingyang for his efforts, but now it has become a gift for Zhao Shilin and Yue Lingshan's wedding, and a reward for the Huashan Sect's care for Zhao Shilin and Gongsun Lei.

More than 20 years ago, "Xiantian Gangqi", like the other two magical books with the same name, had just stepped into the threshold of magical books and was the lowest level of magical books.

But during the years when Zhu Chengwu watched the Yang Lei Zhen Yan take shape in the Elbrus Mountains, he sometimes wanted to change his mood, so he optimized and improved "Xiantian Gangqi" and the other two magical books with the same name.

Now, although these three magical skills with the same name cannot allow practitioners to reach Zhu Chengwu's current level, it is still possible to eventually become a top master, comparable to the eleventh level of the Golden Bell Cover.

And this is already an extremely high intensity!
You should know that from twenty-five years ago to now, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, which has always been ranked as the number one defensive skill in the Ming Dynasty, is only as powerful as the tenth level of the Golden Bell Cover when it is fully developed.

The three magical skills of the same name, which are comparable to the eleventh level of the Golden Bell Cover in strength and can allow people to practice to the ultimate master level, have completely surpassed the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, which is very famous in the Ming Dynasty martial arts world. Of course, they also surpass the power-absorbing technique of similar strength to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

Although there is a default rule in the martial arts world that a master generally has to walk his own path to achieve success, the top master has taken his own path to an extremely high level, and can be said to be the epitome of one path.

But rules are made to be broken!

The rules govern only general situations.

A powerful and supreme master can create a magical code that will allow those who come after him to become masters along his path.

For example, Zhao Yugang's "The Mountain of Corpses and the Sea of ​​Blood", Shaolin Temple's "Yi Jin Jing" and "Xi Sui Jing", Wudang Mountain's "Tai Chi Quan Jing", Yin Kui Sect's "Tian Mo Strategy"...

Of course, the three magical skills with the same name created by Zhu Chengwu in the past can barely fall into this category.

But it is not one's own path after all. If later generations blindly follow the path of their predecessors and do not walk their own path, then it will be difficult for them to surpass their predecessors, or even reach the heights that their predecessors have reached.

This is just like the system in Zhu Chengwu's previous life. If you don't have real ability, no matter how capable the person who paves the way for you is, he can only raise you to a level one level lower than him. It is completely impossible to raise you to the same level as him or even surpass him.

The same principle applies to martial arts in this world. The top masters can usually only create magical manuals that allow those who follow his path to practice to the level of ordinary masters.

Of course, I say generally because there are still cheaters like Zhu Chengwu in this world who have the "Jade Book" in their brains.

At the level of minor grandmaster, one can create three great magical books with the same name, which allow practitioners to follow the path in the magical books and barely practice to the level of grandmaster.

Now that he has reached the realm of the supreme grandmaster, he has taken the opportunity to perfect the three great magical skills manuals of the same name until they have become top-level magical skills manuals that are sufficient to allow later comers to follow the paths in the magical skills manuals and practice to the ultimate grandmaster level.

Such top-level magical skills manuals were barely summarized by peerless monsters like Shaolin Bodhidharma, Wudang Sanfeng, and Yinkui Tianmo, who spent their entire lives to compile them.
