Chapter 229: I Didn’t Before, But I Know Some Now

“Master, did you have any idea who it might be?” Yang Guo asked cautiously.

He didn’t dare ask if Yu Xian had offended anyone.

Yu Xian shook his head. The only ones with grudges against him were the Murong Family, but after the Old Monster from the Murong Family personally made a move last time, the two sides had kept to themselves.

As for others with grudges, he had already silenced them with a single sword strike to the throat. He truly couldn’t think of any force that would be interested in him.

At this moment, he was quite looking forward to those people appearing before him. Those he cared about were all in the Small World now, and no one could find them.

“Master, do we need to prepare something?” Yang Guo asked.

Anything concerning his Master was a monumental matter to him. If someone dared to wish his Master ill, he would absolutely not allow it!

“Prepare what?” Yu Xian was puzzled.

“To prevent trouble before it starts!” Yang Guo said very seriously.

“When you reach the Realm I am at, you won’t need to prepare anything at all.” Yu Xian raised a confident smile.

If even he, a Land Immortal, could be easily intercepted by others, he might as well hang himself.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo’s eyes lit up. “Master, what Realm are you at now?”

“What do you think?” Yu Xian didn’t tell Yang Guo directly. Yang Guo hadn’t even reached the Great Grandmaster Realm yet; he still lacked some understanding.

Back when they were in Xiangyang, his Master was already a Great Grandmaster. Now… he wasn’t sure.

However, as long as Yu Xian didn’t care about that group of people, if he found out first and resolved the issue, his Master naturally wouldn’t need to worry about it.

Yang Guo secretly made up his mind. He wanted to eliminate those people before his Master did, so his Master wouldn’t have to worry.

How could Yang Guo’s Master allow others to covet him?

“Are you interested in letting your Master see your progress?” Yu Xian asked, looking ahead.

When Yang Guo heard this, he realized Yu Xian intended to test his Martial Arts! He immediately felt the desire to seek guidance from Yu Xian.

“What does Master want to see?” Yang Guo asked.

Yu Xian had taught him Swordsmanship and the Nine Yin Manual. The Nine Yin Manual contained many types of Cultivation Techniques. Later, he also learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Staff Technique, so he was ready for any test Yu Xian might set!

“Let’s try your Lightness Skill first.” As Yu Xian finished speaking, his figure floated far ahead! Then came a voice: “Yu Yan, protect them. I will test Yang Guo’s Martial Arts.”

Seeing that Yu Xian had gone far, Yang Guo knew he might not be able to catch up if he didn’t pursue immediately, but he was also worried about the few girls behind him. After thinking it over, he still chased after Yu Xian closely.

“Master, is it really okay to leave Martial Aunt alone to protect them?” Yang Guo was a bit uneasy, as Yu Xian had only called out one person’s name, meaning only one person needed to provide protection.

“Can’t your Martial Aunt, a Late Stage Grandmaster, protect them?” Yu Xian showed no intention of stopping.

“Late Stage Grandmaster?” Yang Guo was stunned.

Was Martial Aunt that powerful? She looked so young, how could she already be a Late Stage Grandmaster?

However, hearing she was a Late Stage Grandmaster, Yang Guo finally relaxed and used all his strength to chase after them.

“Oh no, why did Brother Yang leave?” Lu Wushuang looked at the two figures quickly departing and asked worriedly.

“Didn’t Great Hero Yu just say he wanted to test Brother Yang’s Martial Arts and asked Sister Wang to protect us?” Cheng Ying picked up Lu Wushuang’s words and sighed.

Lu Wushuang’s gaze was fixed on Yang Guo; she hadn’t heard what Yu Xian said just now.

Her cousin, it seemed, was deeply devoted to Yang Guo. Cheng Ying felt an inexplicable sense of loss and fellow feeling.

After all, Yang Guo’s fiancée was Guo Fu. No matter how much Lu Wushuang disliked Guo Fu, it couldn’t change the fact that Guo Fu was Yang Guo’s fiancée.

Cheng Ying couldn’t help but look at Guo Fu with a hint of envy.

Guo Fu noticed Cheng Ying’s gaze and immediately became vigilant. With Yang Guo not around, if Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang made a move against her, she knew she couldn’t win!

Damn Yang Guo! How could he just leave without a word? And he didn’t even take her with him! If these two women turned against her, she would definitely make Yang Guo regret it for the rest of his life! Guo Fu thought fiercely, then gripped the Sword in her hand, ready to deal with any move from Cheng Ying and the others.

Cheng Ying didn’t know what Guo Fu was thinking. She withdrew her envious gaze and looked toward Wang Yuyan. After the short walk they had just taken, they had all gotten to know each other.

Cheng Ying was very curious why Yu Xian would ask Wang Yuyan to protect them.

Wang Yuyan looked like a delicate and weak girl, clearly not someone from the Jianghu; she looked like a pampered Young Miss. Cheng Ying couldn’t see any cultivation on Wang Yuyan’s body.

Among these girls, perhaps only she and Mu Wanqing had relatively higher Martial Arts skills.

It was truly perplexing that Yu Xian didn’t ask them to protect them but instead sought Wang Yuyan’s protection.

“Sister Wang, do you know Martial Arts?” Cheng Ying finally voiced the doubt in her heart to Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan nodded upon hearing this: “I didn’t before, but I know some now.”

“Then when did you start learning Martial Arts?” Cheng Ying continued to ask.

Knowing some now… but Cheng Ying still couldn’t discern her Realm. Did she only know some flashy, useless moves?

“A little over a year ago. I only truly started practicing Martial Arts one year ago.” Wang Yuyan left unsaid the fact that she had studied Martial Arts since childhood, but that didn’t count as actual practice. Her true Martial Arts training only began when Yu Xian told her to start cultivating.

“Only learned for a little over a year? That bad man actually asked you to protect us? Is he trying to get us killed? If something unexpected really happened, relying on her?” Guo Fu sneered.

Wang Yuyan was Yu Xian’s woman, and she disliked Yu Xian, so she also disliked Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Ling!

Whoosh! An iron arrow shot straight toward the tip of Guo Fu’s foot, missing her by mere inches! Guo Fu was instantly startled, let out an ‘Ah,’ and stumbled back a few steps!

“If you dare disrespect my sister again, don’t blame me for showing no mercy with my arrow!” Mu Wanqing said coldly.

“Sister Mu is amazing! Hmph, my Brother-in-law is not a bad person! You are the bad person!” Zhong Ling also stepped forward, glaring unkindly at Guo Fu!

“You… you are all bullying me! Wuwu…” Guo Fu saw that Mu Wanqing and the other two women also disliked her, and they had just shot an arrow at her! She immediately began to weep pitifully, cursing Yang Guo tens of thousands of times in her heart.

“Sisters, please don’t be angry. Miss Guo didn’t mean it,” Cheng Ying stepped forward to explain for Guo Fu.

“Hmph, who asked for your fake kindness! Wuwu…” When Guo Fu saw Cheng Ying speaking up for her, she felt even more wronged.

Cheng Ying sighed helplessly. Her good intentions were being treated as malice, so she didn’t say anything more, instead turning the topic back: “So, what Realm is Sister Wang at now?”

Cheng Ying genuinely only wanted to change the subject; she didn’t really intend to ask about Wang Yuyan’s Realm, considering Wang Yuyan had only been practicing Martial Arts for just over a year.

“I just broke through to the Late Stage Grandmaster Realm,” Wang Yuyan stated calmly.
