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

Lu Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, senior. I was rash just now."

Little Dragon Girl waved her hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities. She stood up, walked to Lu Wushuang, and stared at her deformed left leg for a moment.

"Stretch out your left leg."

Lu Wushuang was startled and subconsciously took half a step back, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly. She was most afraid of people staring at her legs, and even more afraid of people touching them.

That leg is her deepest scar; every time someone notices it, it feels like someone is stabbing her in the heart.

But the senior's tone left no room for refusal. Lu Wushuang bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then obediently sat down on the stone bench, stretching out her left leg.

Xiaolongnu crouched down, her fair fingers gently resting on several acupoints on Lu Wushuang's left calf. A gentle layer of internal energy emanated from her fingertips, slowly probing along the meridians.

Lu Wushuang felt a cool and gentle aura spreading along her calves, completely different from Yang Guo's scalding and domineering internal energy.

This feeling, like a spring stream, flowed silently through her atrophied veins, causing no pain or itch, and even bringing a touch of comfort.

A moment later, Xiaolongnu withdrew her hand, stood up, and frowned slightly.

"The fracture in your left leg was poorly set, and your meridians have been atrophied and blocked for at least seven or eight years. Recently, someone used internal energy to help clear your meridians, didn't they?"

Lu Wushuang nodded obediently.

"It was my master who healed me. He said he knew the *Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian* (a classic text on tendon and bone strengthening) and could cure my leg."

Xiaolongnu's eyes flickered slightly, and she turned to look at Yang Guo.

Yang Guo stood to the side, his expression calm, but inwardly he was thinking, "Now that my wife has taken my pulse, I can't hide anything anymore."

Xiaolongnu withdrew her gaze and spoke in a calm tone.

"The *Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian* can indeed heal your leg. However, its internal energy is too forceful, following a purely Yang path. Your left leg's meridians have atrophied for so many years; they simply cannot withstand its domineering Yang energy. Forcing it in like this might seem effective in the short term, but in the long run, even if the bones heal, the meridians will suffer hidden damage. Later, on rainy days, the pain will be unbearable, even worse than it is now."

Xiaolongnu succinctly pointed out the flaws in Yang Guo's treatment plan.

Yang Guo stood to the side, secretly astonished. He had only focused on using his yang energy to forcefully clear Lu Wushuang's blocked meridians, and hadn't considered the limits of her meridians' capacity to withstand it.

His wife only took his pulse once, yet she saw the problem so clearly; her martial arts knowledge was indeed far superior to his.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wushuang's face turned pale. She looked up at Yang Guo, then at Xiaolongnu, unsure of what to do.

"Senior, then... what should we do?" Lu Wushuang hurriedly asked for advice.

Without saying a word, Xiaolongnu suddenly stretched out her right hand and grabbed Lu Wushuang's wrist.

Lu Wushuang was startled and instinctively tried to break free, but Xiaolongnu's fingers were like iron clamps, and she couldn't move at all.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely cold yet incredibly pure true energy flowed from Xiaolongnu's fingertips directly into Lu Wushuang's body.

Lu Wushuang couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if the blood in her body was about to freeze. But the chill traveled down her meridians and quickly reached the broken bone in her left leg.

A miraculous thing happened. The chill didn't bring excruciating pain; instead, it was like a cool mountain spring, gradually neutralizing and soothing the violent yang energy that Yang Guo had left in her meridians the night before.

The swelling and soreness in my left leg completely disappeared under the nourishment of this cold air.

Lu Wushuang's eyes widened, her face filled with shock. She could clearly feel that the meridians in her left leg were stronger than before.

Little Dragon Girl released her grip and took a step back.

"I just used our sect's Yin-cold True Qi to help you straighten the meridians in your left leg. From now on, when you practice the 'Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian' (Muscle/Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening Chapter), there won't be any hidden problems. In less than three months, your leg will be no different from an ordinary person's."

Xiaolongnu's tone remained aloof, but what she did genuinely brought Lu Wushuang immense benefits.

Lu Wushuang's eyes reddened with excitement. Without saying a word, she bent her knees and knelt on the bluestone slab, kowtowing deeply to Xiaolongnu.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, senior! I could never repay your kindness, even if I worked like a slave!" Lu Wushuang's voice choked with emotion; she was truly grateful.

Meeting this senior today is truly the greatest blessing of her life.

Little Dragon Girl looked at Lu Wushuang kneeling on the ground and nodded. She turned her head and looked at Yang Guo, who had been standing to the side pretending to be a good boy.

"Yang Guo, listen carefully." Xiaolongnu put on a stern face and spoke in a harsh voice.

Yang Guo quickly stepped forward and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"This junior is here."

"This girl is very pleasing to my eye. From now on, if she loses a single hair or suffers any injustice while she's in your Quanzhen Sect, I will hold you responsible. If you dare to bully her, I will not let you off easily."

Xiaolongnu directly stood up for Lu Wushuang in front of him.

Yang Guo was overjoyed. His wife was winning him over. After hearing these words, Lu Wushuang would definitely follow him wholeheartedly from now on, and he wouldn't be able to get rid of her no matter what.

Yang Guo feigned fear and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Don't worry, senior. I will treat Wushuang like my own sister and I will never mistreat her in the slightest," Yang Guo assured her, patting his chest.

Little Dragon Girl snorted coldly and didn't reply. She looked up at the sky.

"Alright, I've been out long enough today, it's time to go back." Little Dragon Girl waved her sleeve and turned to walk towards the courtyard wall.

She lightly touched the bluestone slab with her toes, and like a white feather, she floated up and leaped directly onto the two-zhang-high courtyard wall.

Such lightness skill, so graceful and ethereal, without a trace of worldly malice, left Lu Wushuang speechless.

Xiaolongnu stood on the wall, looking down at Yang Guo.

"Yang Guo, don't forget the rules. Be at the usual place tonight, I still have a few martial arts techniques I want to 'test' you on. If you dare to slack off, I'll break your legs."

Little Dragon Girl left behind this ambiguous statement, and with a flash, she disappeared outside the wall.

Yang Guo stood in the courtyard, looking in the direction where Xiaolongnu had disappeared, and let out a long sigh.

He reached up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This act was even more tiring than the battle of wits and courage he had with Qiu Chuji and the others.

Fortunately, my wife was satisfied, so we managed to get through that night safely.

Lu Wushuang slowly stood up from the ground. She patted the dust off her knees, walked to Yang Guo's side, her eyes still fixed on the empty courtyard wall.

"Master, who exactly is this senior? His martial arts are so high, his temper is so strange, and he's so on my side." Lu Wushuang was full of questions.

Yang Guo abandoned his respectful demeanor and reverted to his usual carefree attitude. He walked to the stone table, picked up the cup of tea that Xiaolongnu hadn't finished, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Her?" Yang Guo smacked his lips and began to make up a story. "She is a reclusive grandmaster from another sect with very deep ties to our Quanzhen Sect. Her seniority is even higher than that of Qiu Chuji and the others. She usually lives in the forbidden area behind the mountain and never sees outsiders. Today, she probably got restless and came out for a stroll, and just happened to run into us."

Lu Wushuang was stunned.

"Grandmaster? But she looks younger than you." Lu Wushuang found it unbelievable.

Yang Guo rolled his eyes and flicked Lu Wushuang's forehead.

"What do you know? People who have mastered martial arts to the highest level can reverse aging, right? You've hit the jackpot today. This grandmaster usually ignores even Qiu Chuji and the others, but today he actually personally helped you straighten your meridians. You silly girl, fools are lucky." Yang Guo's few words completely fooled Lu Wushuang.

Lu Wushuang touched her forehead, which was still sore from being flicked, and instead of getting angry, she grinned foolishly.

She felt that today was truly the luckiest day of her life.

There is now hope for a complete cure for my leg injury, and I have also received the protection of such a powerful senior.

Most importantly, she discovered that although her master seemed unreliable and talked nonsense most of the time, he truly protected her in crucial moments.

"Master, don't worry. I will definitely practice hard from now on and never let you down. If anyone dares to oppose you, I will be the first to chop them down with my knife!" Lu Wushuang clenched her little fists and loudly declared her loyalty.

Yang Guo nodded in satisfaction as he looked at her full of energy.

"Alright, enough with the boasting. First, tidy up the tea set on the table, then practice the mental cultivation technique we learned today a few more times." After saying that, Yang Guo turned and walked into the house.

Then, as if remembering something, he instructed Lu Wushuang, "By the way, this senior prefers peace and quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed. Don't go around talking about seeing her today, and don't go to the forbidden area in the back mountain without my permission!"

"Oh~"

Yang Guo hurriedly went back to his room to catch up on sleep and recharge. There was still a tough battle to fight that night, and his wife's words about "testing his martial arts skills" were no joke.

If he doesn't behave well, he really won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
