Huang Rong from The Return of the Condor Heroes: Brother Jing, let's get a divorce.

Yang Guo sat in the chair, looking at Lu Wushuang kneeling in front of him.

"Alright, get up. Kneeling all the time is against the Quanzhen Sect." Yang Guo patted Lu Wushuang on the shoulder.

Lu Wushuang stood up, wiped away her tears, and looked at Yang Guo with pleading eyes.

Yang Guo didn't waste any words and pointed to the open space next to him: "Take off your shoes, sit cross-legged, and I will first teach you the introductory mental techniques of the Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian (Muscle/Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening Manual)."

Lu Wushuang immediately did as instructed, taking off her cloth shoes and walking to the open space. She sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes, placed her hands on her knees, and forced herself to calm down.

Yang Guo stood up and walked behind Lu Wushuang.

"Listen carefully, this mental cultivation method is obscure and difficult to understand. I will recite the formula once first, and you should memorize it carefully. Memorize as much as you can, and I will break down the parts you can't remember for you."

Yang Guo took a deep breath and began reciting the incantation of the "Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening Chapter" from the Nine Yin Manual.

"People merely know that sitting still and ceasing thought is the way to cultivate virtue, but they do not realize that those who have attained higher levels of understanding, through the perfect and sudden teachings, encompass all methods. Movement and stillness are mutually dependent, and their principles are fundamentally one..."

Yang Guo spoke slowly and clearly. Lu Wushuang closed her eyes, her lips moving slightly as she silently recited the mantra in her mind, following Yang Guo's rhythm. Although her martial arts skills were poor, she was very intelligent, and since this mental cultivation method concerned her left leg, she concentrated all her attention, afraid of missing a single word.

Half an hour later, Yang Guo finished reciting the entire incantation for the first level.

"How much have you memorized?" Yang Guo asked.

"I remembered about 70% of it," Lu Wushuang answered truthfully.

"You're a bit smarter than I thought," Yang Guo nodded. "Just memorizing the formulas won't work; you have to coordinate them with the circulation of your internal energy. Your internal strength is too weak to open up your atrophied meridians. I'll use my internal energy to guide you through a full cycle of the internal energy. Remember the route your internal energy travels."

After Yang Guo finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged behind Lu Wushuang, raised his hands, and placed his palms on the Lingtai and Shendao acupoints on Lu Wushuang's back.

Lu Wushuang's body stiffened abruptly. Yang Guo's palm was extremely hot, and the heat penetrated directly into her skin through the thin silk fabric.

"Concentrate! Focus your mind and guard your inner self! Don't let your mind wander!" Yang Guo shouted in a low voice.

Lu Wushuang quickly composed herself and focused her attention on her internal body.

Yang Guo closed his eyes, fully activating the Kanli Technique within his body, and the Yin and Yang energies in his dantian rapidly circulated. He separated an extremely pure stream of Yang energy, exhaling it through his palm and into Lu Wushuang's meridians.

This yang energy was both domineering and gentle, slowly moving forward in Lu Wushuang's Du meridian.

"Pay attention to your senses, let your inner energy pass through the Dazhui point, down to the Mingmen point, and into the Huiyin point..." Yang Guo guided Lu Wushuang's voice as he channeled his inner energy.

Lu Wushuang could clearly feel the heat flowing through her body.

The rudimentary internal energy she had practiced before was nothing compared to this true energy—it was like comparing mud to gold.

Wherever this true energy passed, the meridians were gradually widened, and the previously blocked areas began to loosen.

"Next is the left leg," Yang Guo said, his voice turning serious.

The true energy flowed down Lu Wushuang's perineum and directly into the meridians of her left leg.

Lu Wushuang's left leg had been blocked by meridians for many years at the broken bone. As soon as his true energy came into contact with those blocked points, a piercing soreness instantly struck him.

"Ah!" Lu Wushuang couldn't help but cry out in pain, her body trembling violently.

"Hold on! This is true qi forcibly clearing the blockage in your blood and qi. If you can't get through this, your leg will never be cured!" Yang Guo pressed down harder with both hands, holding her back tightly to prevent her from moving.

Lu Wushuang clenched her teeth tightly, large beads of sweat appearing on her forehead and dripping down her cheeks onto her clothes. She gripped her knees so tightly that her nails almost broke.

Yang Guo controlled the yang energy, repeatedly circulating it around the Zusanli and Yanglingquan acupoints on his left leg. Once, twice, three times…

Half an incense stick's time had passed, and Lu Wushuang's clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

Suddenly, Lu Wushuang felt a soft "pop" sound from her left calf, as if the mud and sand blocking the water pipe were being flushed away by a high-pressure water flow.

The scalding true energy surged straight in, passing directly through the deformed area of ​​the broken bone, and rushed all the way to the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot.

The excruciating pain vanished instantly, replaced by a tingling, warm sensation that defies description.

Lu Wushuang felt her left calf, which had been cold and numb for years, suddenly filled with heat.

"Phew..." Yang Guo let out a long breath and withdrew his hands.

He stood up, walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it down in large gulps. The forceful unblocking of his meridians had been extremely taxing on his internal energy; even with the protection of the "Kan Li Jue" technique, he was still drenched in sweat.

Lu Wushuang slowly opened her eyes and looked down at her left leg.

She tried to move her left toes, and they moved obediently. In the past, it would have taken a lot of effort for her to move her toes, and her movements would have been very stiff, but now that resistance had largely disappeared.

Although the deformity from the broken bone is still there, and although her left leg is still thinner than her right leg, she can truly feel that this leg has come back to life.

Lu Wushuang turned her head to look at Yang Guo, who was drinking tea, her eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.

This man not only did not force her, but also expended a great deal of his internal energy to help her clear her meridians. This kindness was immense, and she could never repay it.

Lu Wushuang stood up from the ground, barefoot, and walked to Yang Guo.

She looked at the sweat on Yang Guo's forehead, stretched out her sleeve, and gently wiped it away for him.

"Master, you must be exhausted." Lu Wushuang's voice was incredibly soft, with a strong nasal tone.

Yang Guo leaned against the table, looking at Lu Wushuang who was so close to him.

The girl's hair was soaked with sweat and clung to her cheeks. Her pale yellow spring clothes were also soaked and clung tightly to her body, outlining her flat yet very firm curves.

The look in her eyes was no longer wary or prickly; it was now filled with submission and dependence.

Yang Guo reached out and pinched her cheek.

"What's this little bit of consumption? My inner strength is profound, I can withstand ten more times." Yang Guo boasted shamelessly, "If you memorize the first level of the mantra these few days, I will use my inner strength to help you circulate your qi every night. In less than three months, your legs will be able to walk like a normal person."

Lu Wushuang nodded emphatically.

"Go get a basin of hot water and wash yourself; you smell all sweaty," Yang Guo said, waving his hand dismissively.

Lu Wushuang blushed, looked down and sniffed herself; she did indeed smell of sweat. She quickly turned around and limped towards the outer room, but stopped abruptly at the door, turning to look at Yang Guo.

"Owner."

"what?"

"Thank you." After saying that, Lu Wushuang quickly pushed open the door and ran out.

Yang Guo looked at the closed door and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

He's completely won her over. Although he hasn't actually gotten to her yet, her heart already belongs to him.

As for taking her body, it's only a matter of time. Yang Guo has plenty of patience. Like boiling a frog slowly, one day she will willingly climb into his bed.

Yang Guo stretched, and his bones cracked a few times.

I got a lot done today, and now that I've dealt with Lu Wushuang, it's time for me to rest.

Tomorrow, he still has a bunch of messy matters to deal with within the sect: the rules of the Quanzhen Sect need to be changed, the alchemy hall needs to be built, and the list of inner hall members needs to be reviewed.

He was busier as the sect leader than an emperor.
