Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Chapter 172 A Peerless Masterpiece!

Xiangyang, Guo Mansion —

To be precise, we are currently in the Yang residence.

After fighting the people from the Ancient Tomb, Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, returned to Xiangyang. Exhausted, he met with his daughter, granddaughter, and grandson-in-law, and then met with Hong Qigong. After that, he got up and left Xiangyang, and his whereabouts are unknown.

His emaciated appearance almost made Hong Qigong think that Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, had spent a month in a brothel.

Huang Yaoshi clearly suffered considerable torment at the hands of the Golden Boy and Jade Girl.

"Beware of the Beauty Sacrifice!"

These are the words Huang Yaoshi left behind when he departed.

The Eastern Heretic really liked the nickname "Love Flower Thorn".

Huang Yaoshi never imagined that his words would almost cause his daughter to lose her composure, and even make his disciple Cheng Ying change color.

When Huang Yaoshi left Xiangyang, he left Cheng Ying behind and had no intention of taking her with him.

In the end, it was Yang Guo who helped Huang Yaoshi stabilize his reputation; otherwise, Huang Yaoshi's reputation would have been ruined by his own words.

Very simple.

With senior brothers around, who would like an old man?

Yang Guo, as a participant, experienced the Nine Yin Manual fragments in the Ancient Tomb.

Yang Guo felt that his maternal grandfather, Huang Yaoshi, was suffering from lovesickness.

It's just that for some reason it was exaggerated.

So that was a "beauty sacrifice" rather than a "beauty trap"!

It seems that, apart from the Jade Bee Needle and the Ice Soul Silver Needle, a new type of hidden weapon has emerged in our sect.

This stuff is more like a love poison!

Yang Guo might not believe others, but he would be more inclined to believe anything his senior brother Yue Que did, even if it was someone from his own sect.

only--

Yang Guo glanced at his mother-in-law Huang Rong, then at Hong Qigong, and wondered if his maternal grandfather's reputation was really that bad.

After teaching Yang Guo his unique Finger Flicking Skill, Huang Yaoshi stormed off in anger.

After Yang Guo left, Hong Qigong looked at Huang Rong helplessly and said, "Little Rong'er, wasn't it unnecessary for you to scheme against your father like this?"

"How could Master not understand the emotionally unstable and stubborn Eastern Heretic?"

"This will help temper his temper!"

The brilliant strategist Huang Rong explained in an annoyed tone that as a daughter, how could she not understand her father's temperament?

Besides that, Huang Rong didn't tell her master Hong Qigong that she had discovered something amiss with her junior sister Cheng Ying.

She decided to separate her junior sister from her father and bring her directly to her side to personally guide her.

The secret techniques of Peach Blossom Island, right?

She, Huang Rong, can do it!

It's just that I'm not an expert, but it's more than enough to teach others.

Moreover, through her conversations with her junior sister Cheng Ying during this period, Huang Rong had gradually come to understand some of Cheng Ying's true nature.

Cheng Ying is exceptionally capable and quite remarkable.

Therefore, Cheng Ying was very useful to Huang Rong.

It would be a waste to keep it by the father's side, and it would also cause unnecessary trouble.

Huang Rong decided to use the things her father left behind, such as her crippled senior brothers, to completely expose Huang Yaoshi's gold coins.

When she put it into practice, Huang Rong felt more and more that her father, Huang Yaoshi, had lost his mind back then.

How could you make such a decision?

The once-proud Peach Blossom Island was utterly ruined by Huang Yaoshi himself.

Upon hearing this, Hong Qigong opened his mouth, but well, he didn't have anything to say.

After all, it was her own daughter who schemed against her father.

Even as his master, he could only be considered an outsider.

Moreover, Huang Yaoshi's temperament does need some tempering, even at his advanced age, it's not too late.

Just like Yang Guo's adoptive father, Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison.

After practicing the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, he went completely insane.

If the other party were normal, Hong Qigong would naturally be extremely wary. But now, Hong Qigong would occasionally bring food and drink to find Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, to tease the fool.

After Guo Jing returned to the northern desert, Huang Rong, Guo Jing's apprentice, became increasingly depressed.

Freed from constraints, the enchanting Jiangnan woman within him resurfaced, allowing Hong Qigong to once again see the little girl who had once lured him with delicious food to teach him martial arts.

It's just unknown whether the final outcome of competing with the golden couple will be good or bad.

Knowing her as well as her disciple Huang Rong, Hong Qigong was naturally unwilling to accept such a huge loss, having swallowed it with gritted teeth.

Especially recently, when he discovered that Huang Rong had started to seriously practice martial arts and was beginning to compete with her son-in-law Yang Guo, Hong Qigong knew that this struggle was inevitable.

Shaking his head, Hong Qigong picked up some melons and fruits, preparing to go find the fool Ouyang Feng to play with.

Hong Qigong was both looking for Ouyang Feng to play with and keeping a close watch on him at Huang Rong's request.

In the living room.

Having just seen her father off, Huang Rong was quite surprised to see her junior sister Cheng Ying's restless expression.

"What is this?"

Huang Rong pointed to a folded piece of paper on the table and asked.

When she came in, she saw Cheng Ying see what was inside and then awkwardly turn it back.

"It was intelligence sent by a disciple of Quanzhen Sect."

Cheng Ying pursed her lips. As Huang Rong's junior sister who helped her closely, she was naturally qualified to handle this matter; it was the authority granted to her by Huang Rong.

Cheng Ying never expected to see such a thing in this new intelligence report!

In particular, she also saw her cousin Lu Wushuang's handwriting on it.

She now wishes she could gouge out her own eyes and strangle the person she was a moment ago.

"?"

Puzzled, Huang Rong became even more interested when she saw her reserved junior sister so restless.

So he grabbed the paper and unfolded it.

Upon seeing this, the female strategist was completely dumbfounded.

At the very top of the paper were several large characters written in calligraphy: "The Wedding of the Golden-Sword Prince Consort!"

These seven characters were written by Lu Wushuang.

Huang Rong's expression immediately fell. Her gaze lingered on the seven characters in calligraphy for a long time before slowly moving down and fixing on the picture.

She could tell at a glance that the painter was a woman.

The brushstrokes are graceful and have a style reminiscent of landscape painting.

This wouldn't be the style of a perfect couple, nor would it be the style of Li Mochou, the Red Serpent Fairy.

Even if Yelü Chucai's daughter, Yelü Yan, was skilled in painting, she wouldn't have such a delicate style.

Huang Rong was unaware of Wan Yanping's existence. After some analysis, the female strategist immediately identified the suspect as the little disciple that the Jade Maiden had taken in.

That seemingly gentle, well-educated young lady from a respectable family.

Having identified the suspect in her mind, Huang Rong then turned her gaze to the person in the painting.

This sight left Huang Rong speechless and lost in thought for a long time.

Her gaze was fixed on the man in the painting, while the bride beside him was completely ignored by Huang Rong.

The man's eyes, in particular, are depicted with remarkable expressiveness by the brushstrokes.

for a long time.

Just when Cheng Ying thought her senior sister Huang Rong would be angry, she saw Huang Rong make a move.

With a tearing sound, the painting was ripped open. Huang Rong tore off the woman's side and set it aside, then left with the man's portrait.

"???"

Cheng Ying was taken aback by what she saw.

Although she didn't understand why her cousin was provoking her senior sister Huang Rong like that, she also understood that the conflict between the two must have originated from the Ancient Tomb.

She will not offer any opinions without knowing the details.

As for how to resolve the feud between the two parties, Cheng Ying had no idea where to begin.

Even regarding the life-and-death feud between her cousin Lu Wushuang and the Red Serpent Fairy Li Mochou, Cheng Ying can only remain silent now.

She had never seen such a twisted and bizarre scene before.

Coupled with what her senior sister had done to her recently, Cheng Ying decided to remain silent and just watch quietly.

Cheng Ying's personality, shaped by her long-standing subservient lifestyle, led her to decide to prioritize self-preservation for the time being.

After all, the Ancient Tomb's actions led to Senior Sister personally sending off Master Guo, and the release of that grievance would definitely not be so simple.

In Cheng Ying's view, her current senior sister is like a kettle full of water that is being constantly heated.

Based on her understanding of her senior sister over this period of time, Cheng Ying knew very well that Huang Rong was angry just now.

However, upon seeing the portrait of the Golden Knife Prince Consort, she managed to suppress her anger.

"I hope my senior sister won't be too angry!"

"Sigh~~"

"cousin----"

After a sigh, Cheng Ying carefully picked up the discarded bride picture and set it aside before resuming her work and reviewing other intelligence reports.

————In the room.

A bronze mirror was placed on the table.

Huang Rong's anger was fleeting—regardless of whose idea it was, she only needed to pin the blame on Jin Tong.

More than her anger, Huang Rong was concerned about something else.

Taking out fine paper and pen, Huang Rong carefully cut out a pattern according to the torn shape.

Then came grinding the ink. Holding the brush and ink, he glanced at the bronze mirror in front of him and began to carefully sketch the person in the mirror on the white paper.

A person in a mirror, a portrait in a painting.

Huang Rong first imitated Gongsun Lü'e's style. After becoming somewhat familiar with it, she finalized her style and then began to paint with utmost seriousness.

She's painting a self-portrait!

The four arts: music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, right?

It's like everyone can't do it!

As the daughter of the Eastern Heretic, Huang Rong possessed an extremely high level of skill in this area.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Huang Rong left a self-portrait of herself in her wedding dress on the drawing paper. Then, when they compared the two, they realized that the person the Golden Knife Prince Consort was looking at affectionately in the painting was Huang Rong.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, Huang Rong thought for a moment and decided to retaliate.

After closing her eyes and carefully recalling the events, she decided to give the golden couple a taste of their own medicine.

soon.

The scene she wanted appeared on the paper, right there under Huang Rong's pen.

The painting depicts three people: one man and two women.

Standing in the very center, shrouded in mist, is none other than the Jade Maiden Little Dragon Girl, while on the right is the Red Serpent Fairy, dressed in a Taoist robe.

Standing on the left is Jin Tong Yue Que.

The golden boy and jade girl gazed at each other with such deep affection.

However, the strangest thing in the picture is that the Golden Boy's right hand is placed on the Jade Maiden's waist, while the Jade Maiden's left hand is also on the Jade Maiden's waist.

The two people gently clasped hands together.

"ha!"

Upon seeing the artwork she had created in a fit of pique, Huang Rong burst out laughing, exclaiming, "This is a masterpiece!"

"Brilliant!" Huang Rong exclaimed, full of admiration.

"Hmm!"

"Besides giving one return gift, I need to paint a few more!"

"I also need to have a painting hung on the wall so I can look at it every day!"
