Chapter 134: Obtaining custody of Yang Guo?

"But—they saw me and wanted to kill me. I was not skilled enough to be a match for them. If it weren't for an old man with a full beard who knew some kind of 'toad kung fu' suddenly appearing and fighting with them, ignoring me, I would have been in trouble."

I'm afraid my disciple won't be coming back either...

Zhao Zhijing knew that if Zhen Zhibing lived, he would be the biggest obstacle to his becoming the sect leader, and he would do everything he could to slander and destroy him.

But now that Zhen Zhibing is dead, the reputation of a dead man, good or bad, poses no threat to him, so he has no need to reveal the truth about Zhen Zhibing's attempt to sexually assault Xiaolongnu.

Qiu Chuji was Zhen Zhibing's master. In Zhao Zhijing's view, Zhen Zhibing usually appeared dignified and was very popular with Qiu Chuji. If he were to reveal that Zhen Zhibing was a silver thief, it would only make Qiu Chuji suspect that he was trying to smear his disciple. After all, it was a matter without evidence and could not be made public.

It would be better to conceal this detail and simply tell the other party that it was Murong Fu and Xiaolongnu who killed Zhen Zhibing.

Let those second-generation elders of the Quanzhen Sect have a headache.

I can simply earn a small merit by guarding the body of my fellow disciple. After Zhen Zhibing's death, wouldn't the position of chief disciple of this generation be rightfully mine, Zhao Zhijing?

When Qiu Chuji heard Zhao Zhijing's words, he felt that it was about what he had expected, and said, "Yes, judging from the injuries on Zhibing's body, it is indeed the Ancient Tomb Sect's kung fu."

The Ancient Tomb Sect now only has two people. Yang Guo is still young and his skills are definitely not up to par, so the only culprit is Xiaolongnu.

But Murong Fu... I've never heard of him.

Alas, the Ancient Tomb Sect and my Quanzhen Sect were originally friendly neighbors for many years and had a deep connection. Although we didn't have much communication, at least we didn't become enemies.

However, in recent years, there have been many conflicts between the two factions, from Yang Guo and Granny Sun... to now Zhi Bing...

I know that Little Dragon Girl; she's not that bloodthirsty person. It seems the problem must lie with Murong Fu...

And that guy who knows Toad Style Kung Fu—could it be the vanished Ouyang Feng? Sigh.

What Murong Fu didn't know was that what he had originally intended to let Xiaolongnu do as she pleased had unexpectedly ended up being blamed on him.

However, for Murong Fu now... the suspicions of the Quanzhen Sect? They don't matter.

Afterwards, the Quanzhen Sect rang its sect's main bell, initiating a new round of meetings...

At the foot of the mountain, the sun has now fully risen.

Yang Guo woke up again and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Murong Fu and the two children.

Having fainted twice in a row, Yang Guo had calmed down considerably.

Thinking that she had never heard of this Murong Fu from her aunt before, but then thinking of the two children who looked a lot like her aunt, she began to have doubts.

"I've been with my aunt for over two years and we've never gone out. It's impossible for my aunt to... But those two children look about four or five years old... My aunt is 21 this year, and four or five years ago she was sixteen or seventeen... It's quite possible..."

Yang Guo grew increasingly anxious, and the more anxious he became, the more he thought about it. Just then, Xiaolongnu noticed that Yang Guo had woken up, walked in, and asked:

"Guo'er, what do you mean sixteen or seventeen?"

Yang Guo was startled by Xiaolongnu's sudden arrival and quickly said, "It's nothing, Aunt—it's just—"

"Um?"

Xiaolongnu found Yang Guo's behavior today very strange. Her disciple was usually mischievous and talkative, and logically, he had recently been practicing the Nine Yin Manual, which she felt greatly improved her skills in. Yang Guo had also been practicing with her.

Why does he seem so weak? He faints so easily.

In short, she felt that Yang Guo was acting strangely today.

He continued, "Guo'er, what's wrong? Is there something you want to ask?"

Yang Guo suddenly didn't know what to say. Although he could eloquently retort to Zhao Zhijing in front of dozens of Quanzhen Sect members,

But now, in front of Xiaolongnu, he acted clumsily, more in line with his age: "Um—Auntie, no, then—where are Young Master Murong and the child?"

When Xiaolongnu heard Yang Guo mention the children, she suddenly felt much better and said, "He's out playing with Xiaohai and Bao'er. There's a squirrel and a really cold snake with them."

Yang Guo thought to himself, "As expected, Auntie gets so happy whenever she mentions Young Master Murong, they must have something going on!"

So Yang Guo blurted out:

"Auntie, are those two children you and Young Master Murong?"

Xiaolongnu was stunned, not expecting Yang Guo to say such a thing.

Murong Fu, who was about twenty meters away from the house, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Pfft, that clueless kid!"

Bao'er was chasing after Xiao Xiongxu, while Xiao Hai was watching his favorite ants carrying food.

Hearing Murong Fu say something out of the blue, he asked, "Dad, what did you say?"

Murong Fu patted Xiao Hai's head and said, "It's alright, Xiao Hai, look at the ants."

Xiao Hai nodded and continued watching the ants.

As a master with strength approaching that of a grandmaster, Murong Fu could naturally hear clearly from such a short distance.

However, given Murong Fu's daily cultivation progress, he should already possess over a hundred years' worth of high-quality Mingyu True Qi, making him far stronger than Tong Lao and others. He even went to Shaolin Temple to find the Sweeper Monk and discovered that the depth of his True Qi was almost on par with the 160-170-year-old Sweeper Monk.

However, Tong Lao has felt that she is about to reach the level of a Grandmaster in the past two years, but Murong Fu still doesn't feel it at all.

He had clearly mastered the Mingyu Skill to the point of perfection, but he could never reach the eighth level.

Murong Fu guessed that once he broke through to the eighth level, it would be the time for him to become a grandmaster.

But all of this should be left to nature. After all, Murong Fu is currently gaining half a month's worth of skill every day, and even a month's worth when he's in good condition. Any faster and it wouldn't be appropriate. Putting these things aside, Murong Fu continued to listen to Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu's conversation.

Xiaolongnu was very angry after Yang Guo spoke recklessly, but Xiaolongnu was not talkative by nature, and she would not say anything when she was angry.

But Yang Guo did realize his mistake and was just thinking about how to apologize when he heard Xiaolongnu say:

"Murong Fu is my brother-in-law. He came here to recognize me as a relative. My sister looks a lot like me. Xiao Hai and Bao'er are my sister's children."

Stop talking nonsense.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo quickly nodded and agreed.

Although Yang Guo doesn't have any obvious feelings for Xiaolongnü yet, he only respects her as his master and is attached to her as a mature woman.

But for an orphan like Yang Guo who lacked love and care, a good master and elder like Xiaolongnu was even more precious.

If the original plot had unfolded as it should have, by this point, Xiaolongnü should have already run away from Yang Guo due to a misunderstanding. After losing Xiaolongnü, Yang Guo was repeatedly provoked by her mentioning "marrying her as my wife," which led him to develop complex feelings for her that went beyond those of a master and disciple.

However, now that Murong Fu has rescued Xiaolongnu and interrupted Zhen Zhibing's "Dragon Knight Job Change Quest," there's no chance Xiaolongnu will run away in a huff again...

As they were talking, the window of the cabin was suddenly blasted open, and a beautiful white figure darted out.

"Auntie!"

While chasing a squirrel, Bao'er suddenly called out "Little Dragon Girl" in a clear and distinct voice.

But at this moment, Little Dragon Girl was consumed by anger and resentment, rushing off into the distance, unable to hear any other sounds...

Yang Guo rushed out of the room in a daze, shouting, "Auntie, Auntie! Don't you want Guo'er anymore?!"

Yang Guo tried his best to catch up, but the difference in their martial arts skills was too great, and he simply couldn't catch up.

He had no choice but to return dejectedly. After his aunt told him that Murong Fu was her brother-in-law, Yang Guo's inexplicable hostility and wariness towards Murong Fu dissipated.

When Yang Guo couldn't catch up with Xiaolongnu and was panting with his head down, he looked back at Murong Fu, who was still sitting in the courtyard looking at the baby. Yang Guo completely lost the negative impression he had of Murong Fu when he was unconscious.

So she returned and said to Murong Fu, "Young Master Murong, why did my aunt suddenly run away?"

Murong Fu almost burst out laughing, because he had just overheard Yang Guo telling Xiaolongnu, "Auntie, I saw Zhao Zhijing last night. He seemed to be carrying someone on his back. He looks a bit like Zhen Zhibing. Zhen Zhibing was the only good Taoist I've encountered in all my time in the Quanzhen Sect..."

It can be said that Yang Guo stepped on a landmine with pinpoint accuracy. First, he mentioned that Xiaolongnü and Murong Fu had two children. After Xiaolongnü suppressed her anger, he continued to praise the lecherous Zhen Zhibing, who had almost taken liberties with her, which angered Xiaolongnü so much that she left.

However, Murong Fu could also tell from this passage that Xiaolongnu's Jade Maiden Heart Sutra seemed to have encountered some problems.

Originally, Xiaolongnu had cultivated for a long time since childhood, and her seven emotions and six desires were already suppressed to the point of being almost non-existent. However, after being injured one after another, she lost her self-control, and her many emotions became much stronger than before.

It's just that his way of speaking and communicating hadn't changed before, so Yang Guo hadn't noticed.

This time, it was Yang Guo's repeated missteps that finally triggered the explosion. Yang Guo had never seen Xiaolongnu so angry before, so he was startled.

Murong Fu didn't laugh out loud. After all, he was the leader of the Tianlong Martial Arts Alliance and still possessed a certain level of professionalism and chivalrous demeanor.

So he changed the subject and said, "Um... Guo'er, I remember you told me last night that you have the best godfather in the world."

,

Yang Guo's expression changed, and he slapped his forehead, saying, "Ah, that's right!"

Then he ran to the back of the hut.

But when he saw that his godfather Ouyang Feng was still standing in the same place as the night before, he was relieved.

So he walked up to Ouyang Feng and saw that Ouyang Feng's eyes were wide open and he didn't react when Yang came over.

Yang Guo asked, "Father, are you alright?"

Ouyang Feng kept muttering to himself, "Nine Yin Manual, Nine Yin Manual... Should I reverse the Heavenly Pillar or smoothly open the Chapter Gate?"

Yang Guo cried out anxiously, "Father, what's wrong? Look after me!"

Ouyang Feng then asked, "Who are you? Who am I? Who is Ouyang Feng?"

Seeing that his illness had relapsed, Yang Guo was both frightened and saddened. He could only force himself to remain calm and said, "Father, you must be tired. Let's go inside and rest. I'll build you a big house today. Once I find Master, we'll live here together."

Ouyang Feng suddenly somersaulted, picked up the cauldron, and shouted, "Who am I? Who am I? Where did Ouyang Feng go?" He waved his hands wildly, spun around, and walked on his hands, rushing down the mountain as fast as the wind.

Yang Guo tried to chase after him, but couldn't catch up: "Father! Father! Don't you want your son anymore?!"

She tried to grab him, but he kicked her haphazardly, making her see stars and almost faint again.

When Yang Guo straightened up, he saw that Ouyang Feng was already more than ten feet away, and it was clear that he could not catch up with him.

Exhausted, she returned to the thatched hut and said to Murong Fu, "Young Master Murong... you're not leaving too, are you? If you are, please take me with you?"

Upon seeing this, Murong Fu slapped his thigh!

broken?!

What happened? It seems she got custody of Yang Guo?
