Chapter 110: Guo Jing Questions Yang Guo

“Hmm? Isn’t my money yours? The Yu Residence is rich, spend as you like! If it’s not enough, just tell me, and I’ll earn more!”

Yu Xian clearly hadn’t expected Huang Rong to say it was his money, but seeing the smile in her eyes, Yu Xian understood what she meant.

Yu Xian showed that he didn’t care at all.

How much could a few banquets cost? As long as Sister Rong is happy!

“So generous?” Huang Rong was very satisfied with Yu Xian’s answer, and a wave of sweetness surged in her heart.

“As long as Sister Rong is happy,” Yu Xian said cheerfully.

Yang Guo, following beside Yu Xian, felt that the conversation between Yu Xian and Huang Rong was a bit strange, a bit ambiguous, and he was filled with confusion. He curiously sized up the two of them.

“Ahem…” Yu Xian coughed twice to cover his awkwardness.

Although he and Huang Rong were already married, the outside world didn’t know. In public, he still needed to restrain himself; at least for now, they couldn’t have anything obvious between them.

Huang Rong moving into the Yu Residence was because it was inappropriate for her to continue living in the Guo Residence after divorcing Guo Jing. Moreover, Huang Rong had always been on good terms with the lady of the Yu Residence, so moving into the Yu Residence was understandable. Furthermore, Yu Xian and Guo Jing had such a good relationship.

No one would ever suspect Huang Rong and Yu Xian of being lovers.

“Sister Rong, Yang Guo is my Disciple now. I can guarantee you that he won’t be like his father,” Yu Xian said this because he wanted Huang Rong to stop harboring any ill feelings toward Yang Guo.

“You know about his father’s affairs?” Huang Rong looked at Yu Xian with some surprise.

“Of course,” Yu Xian nodded.

Huang Rong glanced at Yang Guo. His looks were becoming more and more like his father’s. Seeing Yang Guo reminded her of Yang Kang. However, since Yu Xian said so, and since Yu Xian was personally teaching him, she felt relieved.

“Guo’er, listen to your Master well from now on.” Huang Rong only gave a brief instruction, but it also clarified her stance.

Although Yang Guo found it strange, he still complied: “I understand, Aunt Guo.”

“I have already divorced your Uncle Guo. You should call me Aunt Rong from now on. Your mother and I were close friends back then.” Huang Rong didn’t want Yang Guo to keep calling her ‘Aunt Guo,’ fearing it might displease Yu Xian.

Actually, Yu Xian, standing nearby, wanted to tell Yang Guo to call Huang Rong ‘Master’s Wife,’ but before he could speak, he met a warning glance from Huang Rong and could only drop the idea.

Just then, Guo Jing finished seeing off the Jianghu people and approached them, signaling for everyone to return to the Residence to discuss Yang Guo’s situation.

Yu Xian did not refuse and took Yang Guo with him to the Guo Residence.

Guo Jing was genuinely good to Yang Guo, like a father, but his good intentions had caused trouble.

After Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Yu Xian were seated in the main hall, Yang Guo stood straight in the center, awaiting Guo Jing’s judgment.

“Guo’er, there are no outsiders now. Tell us what happened,” Guo Jing looked at Yang Guo somewhat sternly.

Yang Guo lowered his head and bit his lip, unsure of how to explain.

Should he blame Guo Jing for sending him to the Quanzhen Sect, where he suffered humiliation? But if he hadn’t gone to the Quanzhen Sect, he wouldn’t have met Yu Xian, nor would he have achieved his current Martial Arts.

Seeing Yang Guo’s appearance and hesitation to speak, Yu Xian said, “Let me tell you instead. I know his affairs best.”

As Yu Xian finished speaking, everyone’s gaze turned to him.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were puzzled, while Yang Guo was grateful.

“Back then, Brother Guo sent Yang Guo to the Quanzhen Sect because Yang Guo injured the Wu brothers using the Toad Skill, which displeased Sister Rong and your Great Master Ke Zhen’e. After all, the Quanzhen Sect practices orthodox Martial Arts and is a renowned righteous sect. You hoped Yang Guo could receive good guidance there and be cultivated into a chivalrous person.

However, you didn’t know that because you had a conflict with Zhao Zhijing on the way to Chongyang Palace while bringing Yang Guo, Yang Guo suffered severe bullying from Zhao Zhijing and his Disciples after you left. When I rescued him, he was already on the brink of death.

He learned no Martial Arts in the Quanzhen Sect, nor did he see any so-called chivalry; there was only constant bullying.” As Yu Xian spoke, his gaze lingered on Yang Guo.

If he hadn’t arrived in time, Yang Guo would have been tied up with the Little Dragon Girl!

“How is that possible?” Guo Jing clearly didn’t believe it. The Quanzhen Sect was a renowned righteous sect; how could they do such a thing?

“Why is it impossible? That Zhao Zhijing is inherently a narrow-minded, despicable villain. Since he couldn’t defeat Uncle Guo, he took it out on me! Not only did he refuse to teach me Martial Arts, but he also constantly let his Disciples torment me!” Seeing Guo Jing’s disbelief, the resentment in Yang Guo’s heart instantly erupted!

He finally understood that besides his Master, no one would believe him!

Now, he was so fortunate to have met his Master! Otherwise, everyone in the world might think he deserved to die! They might all think he was slandering Zhao Zhijing!

“Bang!”

Guo Jing was furious that Yang Guo directly called Zhao Zhijing by name and labeled him a narrow-minded, despicable villain! This was disrespect! No matter what, Zhao Zhijing was Yang Guo’s Master. Even if he erred, as a Disciple, one should not speak of their Master like that!

Didn’t Yang Guo understand the concept of honoring one’s teacher and respecting one’s elders?

“That is your Master!” Guo Jing said, frustrated by his lack of proper conduct.

Yu Xian smirked. Great Hero Guo truly possessed great benevolence and righteousness!

“He stopped being my Master long ago! I only have one Master!” He replied to Guo Jing proudly, then looked toward Yu Xian.

Being Yu Xian’s Disciple was his proudest achievement!

Hearing this, Guo Jing also looked at Yu Xian: “Brother Yu?”

“Yes, I have already clarified things with The Seven Masters of Quanzhen. Yang Guo is no longer a Disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, but a Disciple of my Beyond the Heavens,” Yu Xian replied with a smile.

Hadn’t he already beaten down The Seven Masters of Quanzhen? Didn’t they offer no objection at the time?

“This…” Guo Jing still wanted to say something.

When Yu Xian was talking about Yang Guo’s situation, he also felt heartbroken, but that was his own sect; enduring some grievances was nothing.

“Brother Jing, since Guo’er has taken Brother Yu as his Master, he will certainly inherit Brother Yu’s character in the future and naturally won’t disappoint your expectations. What harm is there in that?

As for the Quanzhen Sect, since Brother Yu has made things clear, I imagine they won’t blame anything further,” Huang Rong persuaded.

She knew Guo Jing’s character well; he placed honoring one’s teacher and respecting elders above all else and was absolutely obedient to his Master’s words. However, not everyone could be like him.

Moreover, Yu Xian had just told her outside not to hold prejudice against Yang Guo anymore, and she already considered Yang Guo her own Disciple, one of their own.

How could one of their own be bullied by others?

“Fine. Since Rong’er says so, then we won’t discuss it further. Brother Yu, my nephew has had a hard life since childhood; I will have to trouble you to take good care of him from now on.” Guo Jing also felt that Yang Guo becoming Yu Xian’s Disciple was a good thing.

Yu Xian was not only highly skilled in Martial Arts but also very righteous. He would be a good Master, and Guo Jing felt reassured leaving Yang Guo with him.
