As the journey continued, Jiang Sishui encountered more and more martial artists, but she paid them no heed.

Adhering to the principle of "peaceful coexistence," the caravan soon arrived at Leigu Mountain.

This is the last day that the Central Plains Escort Agency will protect Jiang Sishui.

As the sun was about to set, Zhao Qiying went out to help set up the pot and start a fire to cook, while Jiang Sishui in the carriage began writing her diary for the day ahead of time.

It's the last day on our journey to Leigu Mountain. As we get closer to our destination, the martial artists heading to the 'Zhenlong Chess Tournament' are like rivers flowing into the sea, appearing frequently in our streams.

Today I met Huang Yaoshi, Rong'er's father.

[Huang Yaoshi is usually a proud and aloof man, so the fact that he would willingly serve as someone's coachman and driver piqued my curiosity about the people in the carriage.]

The first person I thought of was Rong'er, because only she is qualified.

[But Rong'er is naturally lively and unruly, so it's unlikely she'd stay obediently in the carriage.]

I couldn't understand it, so I stared at the carriage for a few more moments.

However, Huang Yaoshi, with his keen senses, quickly noticed and even threatened me, forbidding me from looking around or he would cripple my eyes.

I knew he wasn't just bluffing; he really would do it, because my "cicada's awareness" had been activated.

"What? He saw Father? And Father is going to attack him?"

Beside a campfire, Huang Rong's expression changed slightly.

Although Huang Yaoshi's threat to Jiang Sishui was something that had already happened and Jiang Sishui should be unharmed now, she still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Without hesitation, she immediately got up and used her light-footed skill to leave.

"Hey, Huang family girl! You're leaving already? The fire's all set up, and we've caught two pheasants. We're all waiting for you to show off your skills!"

Hu Tiehua licked his lips and shouted unwillingly from behind.

However, Huang Rong ignored her and showed no intention of stopping. She turned around a few times and soon disappeared into the deepening twilight.

Hu Tiehua's hand, which had been trying to stop her, froze in mid-air, her face filled with disappointment and frustration.

Gao Yanan watched Huang Rong's departing figure, her eyes flickering.

Then she rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Look at you, so spineless. You think you'll starve to death if she leaves?"

Hu Tiehua exclaimed, "That's different! I heard from Old Stinkbug that Huang's sister's cooking skills are unparalleled. Wouldn't it be a pity not to witness it? Isn't that right, Old Stinkbug?"

Chu Liuxiang gently scratched the bridge of his nose with one finger and smiled, "That's true."

"Have you eaten it?" Gao Yanan asked.

Chu Liuxiang nodded slightly: "When I visited Peach Blossom Island before, I benefited from my master's kindness."

Hu Tiehua drooled with envy: "You old rascal, you're really lucky! But this Huang girl owes you a meal, so remember to invite me next time she pays her debt!"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head helplessly: "Okay, I'll definitely call you if I have time to inform you."

"Alright, it's a deal then." Hu Tiehua was finally satisfied and began plucking the pheasant's feathers.

Gao Yanan then summoned a diary that neither of them could see and continued reading.

Under normal circumstances, at this point, all you need to do is admit defeat. After all, "a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle," and I'm no match for Huang Yaoshi right now.

However, I chose to do the opposite.

Not only did I retort, but I also used Huang Yaoshi's own words to shut him up, using his own words against him.

This is not because I'm reckless or trying to show off, but because Huang Yaoshi is a rather special person.

Huang Yaoshi, nicknamed "Eastern Heretic" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," is known for his unconventional, arrogant, and unruly personality.

If I had chickened out then, I would have made him look down on me. But when I countered with his own logic, he not only didn't get angry, but he also saw me as one of his own.

And as it turns out, I was right.

Of course, the reason I dared to do this was because Zhao Tianhao was by my side; otherwise, I wouldn't have taken this risk.

After all, nothing in this world is absolute. If we guess wrong, we could become blind, and the price is too high; we simply can't afford to lose.

"I see."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Qiying's long-held doubts were suddenly resolved.

He originally thought that Jiang Sishui was acting out of pride and unwilling to back down, which was why she retorted to Huang Yaoshi. He never expected that it was "prescribing the right medicine for the right person and tailoring the approach accordingly."

……

"Eastern Heretic?"

The real Huang Yaoshi did not have this nickname. When Huang Rong first heard it, she found it quite interesting.

The word "evil" in particular is quite fitting for her father's personality.

However, she also knew that her father couldn't bear it.

Because this nickname is so grand, with the prefix "East," people who don't know the situation might think that Huang Yaoshi is the number one expert in the eastern part of the Central Region!

If this were to be announced, it would surely cause endless trouble, and Peach Blossom Island would be in danger of collapsing.

"It's good that he's alright. I hope he won't hold a grudge against Father."

Huang Yaoshi took a liking to me and said he would teach me a martial art.

To be honest, although Peach Blossom Island has a large number of martial arts techniques, their quality is generally mediocre, far inferior to the martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect, so I don't think much of them.

However, not wanting to offend my future father-in-law, I gladly accepted, and even bluntly asked to learn his most powerful "Finger Flicking Skill."

Huang Yaoshi said I lack internal energy and cannot learn it.

Okay then, I'll wait until tomorrow to learn it.

"The Free and Unfettered Sect? What is the Free and Unfettered Sect? Are they very powerful?"

When Huang Rong saw that Jiang Sishui looked down on the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, she was indignant: "Father's strongest martial art is 'Great Waves Washing Away Flowers,' how come it's been turned into 'Finger Flicking Divine Skill'?"

"Ah, right, he's talking about the father in the book. It seems the father in the book isn't that great after all."

"No, no! Even if the father in the book is weak, he still has the name 'Eastern Heretic'. It seems that the upper limit of martial arts in the whole 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' is relatively low."

A look of understanding appeared in Huang Rong's eyes.

At the same time, I finally learned who was in the carriage: it was Huang Yaoshi's wife, Feng Heng—she was alive!

Also, these two actually know "The Master Thief" Chu Liuxiang.

This plot is really messed up.

064 Between his wife and his apprentice, who did Huang Yaoshi love most?

"What do you mean? Does that mean the mother should have died at this point in the book?"

Huang Rong frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable and nervous.

Although we know that reality and fiction are not the same, anyone would feel uneasy if they heard that their mother had died in a story.

At the same time, because Jiang Sishui's story was very special and had a lot of overlap with reality, his words also aroused Huang Rong's vigilance.

I'm afraid that the tragedy in the story isn't that it won't happen, it just hasn't happened yet.

If that's the case, then as her daughter, she absolutely needs to be on guard.

Feng Heng is Rong'er's biological mother, but she is a tragic figure in the book.

Moreover, when talking about her, we must mention Huang Yaoshi's disciple, Mei Chaofeng.

[In his previous life, many people discussed whether Huang Yaoshi loved his wife Feng Heng or his disciple Mei Chaofeng.]

There is no definitive answer to this question; opinions vary widely.

"My dad likes Senior Sister Mei? Nonsense! My dad loves my mom the most! He's so good to my mom, how could he be unfaithful!"

Huang Rong was furious and wished she could bite Jiang Sishui to see if he would dare to talk nonsense again.

"Still no conclusion? Hmph, I'd like to see what you have to say!"

Those who support Feng Heng argue that Huang Yaoshi never remarried after Feng Heng's death, and that if he hadn't wanted to raise Rong'er, he would have committed suicide long ago.

This reasoning seems sufficient.

However, those who support Mei Chaofeng have also found a lot of strong evidence in the details of the book.

"coming!"

Huang Rong focused her gaze intently, wanting to see what gave Jiang Sishui the right to say such things.

At the same time, the women also developed a strong interest in this ethical and emotional drama of "teacher-student love".

The two first met at Jiang Family Village, when Huang Yaoshi, a wanderer of the martial arts world, happened to witness a pitiful little maid being humiliated by her master.

The little girl's pitiful appearance touched the heart of a martial arts master who was one of the "Five Greats of the World" at the time.

So he decisively rescued her and then took her into his household.

The little girl was named Mei Ruohua. After Huang Yaoshi took her as his disciple, he renamed her Mei Chaofeng.

At the time, Mei Chaofeng was only twelve years old, an age of innocence and carefree joy. After being brought to Peach Blossom Island, she quickly became the darling of all her fellow disciples.

It is said that "a girl changes drastically at eighteen," and after a few years, Mei Chaofeng gradually grew up, becoming beautiful and refined, with striking features, which stirred the hearts of many men on the island.

Even Huang Yaoshi, who was used to seeing beautiful women, gradually fell in love with this female disciple as they spent time together.
