Chapter 92: Returning to Peach Blossom Island

Yu Xian left Manduo Manor with A Zhu and A Bi, heading in the direction of Xiangyang.

This trip had yielded great rewards, and his strength had also improved significantly.

Now that he was returning to Xiangyang, he wouldn’t be going out again in the short term, especially since Ning Zhongze was about to give birth. Bringing the two girls back could help take care of Ning Zhongze.

However, midway through their journey, Yu Xian heard some surprising news.

Rumor had it that Guo Jing had been framed by the Mongolians, causing him to lose his ability as a man, and in order not to delay Huang Rong, he had already divorced her!

What!?

Although Yu Xian knew this was true, only a few people were aware of it. How did it become known to everyone now?

Was someone deliberately spreading it?

Yu Xian fell into deep thought, unable to fully comprehend the situation.

Similarly perplexed was Huang Rong on Peach Blossom Island. Her first reaction was that Yu Xian had deliberately released the news! But she quickly dismissed that idea, finally concluding that the news had been spread by Guo Jing himself!

After realizing this, a wave of sorrow washed over Huang Rong.

Guo Jing must have known about her relationship with Yu Xian. To prevent her from feeling burdened and to set her free, he had directly made the news public…

Huang Rong’s heart was filled with guilt.

That day, Huang Rong sat alone on a reef, lost in melancholy.

Guo Jing had gone so far as to ruin his own reputation for her sake. She truly felt she had wronged him and had no face to return to see him.

At that moment, all she wanted was to hide on Peach Blossom Island, seeing no one and dealing with nothing.

She admitted she was being cowardly.

Huang Rong buried her head in her knees, letting the sea breeze mess up her world.

Suddenly, Huang Rong sensed someone beside her. Thinking it was her father, Old Man Huang, she didn’t look up, merely murmuring, “Father, I’m fine. I just want to sit here alone.”

The reason she knew about the news Guo Jing spread was because her father had brought it back to her. She knew her father was also worried about her.

“You should understand his intentions.”

A familiar male voice suddenly broke into Huang Rong’s world—the voice of the man she didn’t know how to face: Yu Xian’s voice!

Huang Rong snapped her head up. Indeed, what met her eyes was an exceptionally handsome face.

“How are you here?” Huang Rong asked in astonishment.

The face was familiar, but it looked somewhat travel-worn.

“Worried about you.”

Yu Xian was relieved to see her safe and sound, but seeing the deep sorrow etched between Huang Rong’s brows, he couldn’t help but feel heartache.

Originally, he was going to take A Zhu and A Bi back to Xiangyang, but after hearing the news of Guo Jing and Huang Rong’s divorce midway, he hadn’t understood at first, but quickly realized Guo Jing had spread the news deliberately, with the goal of bringing him and Huang Rong together.

Guo Jing had truly gone to great lengths for Huang Rong.

If he could figure it out, how could the clever Huang Rong not have?

Yu Xian worried about Huang Rong, so he asked A Zhu and A Bi to wait for him while he came to Peach Blossom Island alone. If he didn’t see Huang Rong once, he wouldn’t be at ease.

So, he came directly to Peach Blossom Island and frantically searched for Huang Rong. Fortunately, he found her.

Hearing this, Huang Rong’s heart warmed, but at the same time, her guilt towards Guo Jing resurfaced.

“Leave quickly! My father is on the island!” Huang Rong stood up and immediately pushed Yu Xian away.

Her relationship with Yu Xian was something that could not be seen in the light; she didn’t want her father to find out!

“If he’s here, he’s here. Besides, you should know Guo Jing’s intention in doing this!” Yu Xian wasn’t afraid of Old Man Huang at all; Old Man Huang couldn’t beat him!

Moreover, now that Guo Jing had spread the news, it was so Huang Rong could be with him without any burden. How could he fail Guo Jing’s expectations?

“You…” Before Huang Rong could say more, Yu Xian pulled her into his arms and immediately kissed her lips. She didn’t even have a chance to refuse.

Huang Rong was quickly completely conquered by Yu Xian. Yu Xian knew how to do things far better than Guo Jing; even a single kiss could be intoxicating.

If her hands hadn’t been tightly pressing down on her clothes, she would have already been entangled with Yu Xian under the open sky!

Just like last time in the peach grove.

Huang Rong was worried her father might arrive at any moment, so she firmly prevented Yu Xian from taking any further action.

By the time Yu Xian had kissed enough, she was already limp with weakness, only able to lean into his embrace.

“How could you be so reckless! What if my father finds out?” Huang Rong breathed shallowly, trying hard to calm her emotions.

“I missed you.”

It was still just a few simple words, but every single one struck the depths of Huang Rong’s heart.

Huang Rong suddenly felt an urge to cry. How could Yu Xian do this? She still felt deep guilt towards Guo Jing, but Yu Xian kept stirring her heart! She didn’t know what to do anymore!

“You bad man! Bad man! Bad man!” Huang Rong forcefully pounded Yu Xian’s chest. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be this distressed now!

Yu Xian didn’t stop Huang Rong, letting her hit him. Huang Rong looked like she was hitting hard, but it was merely a way to vent.

Sure enough, after only hitting for a short while, Huang Rong stopped and quietly stayed in Yu Xian’s arms, making no further moves.

Yu Xian also allowed Huang Rong to lean against him like that.

Suddenly, several sounds of breaking wind echoed through the air. Yu Xian activated his Lightness Skill, holding Huang Rong as they immediately dodged.

Flick Finger Divine Skill—Old Man Huang’s unique ultimate technique!

Old Man Huang had arrived, and he was attacking them! Was it because he saw him holding Huang Rong?

Yu Xian wouldn’t humor Old Man Huang. Was Flick Finger Divine Skill so impressive? He knew it too!

Yu Xian pulled out a few pieces of broken silver from his embrace and immediately counterattacked using Flick Finger Divine Skill.

Huang Rong snapped back to her senses at this moment. Knowing her father had arrived and that Yu Xian had attacked him, she was shocked!

“Yu Xian, that’s my father!” Huang Rong quickly tried to stop Yu Xian.

Yu Xian was a Great Grandmaster. Although her father was one of the Five Greats, he was only at the Peak Grandmaster level and not Yu Xian’s match! She couldn’t let Yu Xian injure her father!

Pharmacist Huang naturally knew a master had suddenly appeared on Peach Blossom Island. However, that master didn’t linger upon arrival but kept searching for something, his Lightness Skill speed startling him. Thus, he hurried over.

But when he arrived and saw the man holding his daughter, he wondered if his daughter was being controlled! He immediately attacked.

However, his Flick Finger Divine Skill was easily dodged by that person, and it was even struck back using the exact same finger technique! The force was even greater than his own!

The opponent also knew Flick Finger Divine Skill!

Pharmacist Huang hurriedly dodged, inwardly alarmed!

Hearing Huang Rong’s voice, he stopped attacking rashly, instead standing with his hands behind his back, watching Yu Xian and Huang Rong warily.

At this moment, Huang Rong was still held in Yu Xian’s arms, looking like a delicate bird, not at all like someone being controlled.

“Rong’er, what is going on? Who is he?” Pharmacist Huang, wary of Yu Xian’s Martial Arts, stopped attacking recklessly and instead asked Huang Rong.

Huang Rong quickly broke free from Yu Xian’s embrace and stood aside somewhat nervously, not daring to look directly at Pharmacist Huang.
