The man called Uncle Wu, seeing that the woman was unhappy, immediately urged the guard in front of him, "Why aren't you hurrying up and chasing her away? Can't you even handle such a small matter?"

The guards nodded and bowed, quickly agreeing.

"Go away, go away, don't stay here. Don't blame me for being disloyal, our Uncle Wu won't allow you to stay here."

Zhang Huai felt somewhat bewildered; the two people who had been getting along so well just moments before had suddenly started making things difficult for him.

Who is Grandpa Wu?

Looking in the direction the guards had come from, Zhang Huai also saw the two men and one woman.

"Could it be them?" Zhang Huai thought to himself.

The guard scoffed, "You don't even know who Master Wu is, yet you dare to say you know Master Guo? Master Wu is Master Guo's personal disciple. He, along with his younger brother, Second Master Wu, and Master Guo's daughter, Miss Guo, are all outstanding young talents in our Xiangyang City. At such a young age, their martial arts skills are already remarkable, making them role models for the younger generation."

The guard's voice was so loud that everyone around could hear it, including the three people standing at a distance.

The tall man's lips curled up slightly when he heard the guard praising them so highly.

Even the other two wore smug expressions.

"It really is those three." Zhang Huai was slightly speechless. These three were none other than the three useless trio from The Return of the Condor Heroes: Da Wu, Xiao Wu, and Guo Fu.

What a coincidence! I never expected to run into them here, Zhang Huai thought to himself.

However, this also saved me some trouble, at least I didn't have to deal with the guard in front of me.

He shoved the two people in front of him aside and shouted at the three others:

"Da Wu, Xiao Wu, I know your master. Please let me into the city."

The guard standing nearby was surprised by Zhang Huai's strength and fell to the ground with a thud.

Upon hearing Zhang Huai address them by their nicknames so directly, they were instantly shocked and stood up, saying, "You scoundrels, I knew you weren't honest from the start, and now you dare to be so disrespectful to our Master Wu and Second Master Wu."

Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen, who were standing at a distance, felt embarrassed when they heard this strange man dare to call them by their nicknames in public.

Guo Fu, on the other hand, didn't seem to care and directly asked Zhang Huai, "Hey, who are you? What proof do you have that you know my father? State your name."

Seeing that there was a chance, Zhang Huai immediately said, "I am Zhang Huai, and I come from Zhongnan Mountain. I have important matters to discuss with Master Guo."

"Zhongnan Mountain? Didn't Father send that scoundrel Yang Guo to Zhongnan Mountain? Could it be that Yang Guo found someone? As for the name Zhang Huai, I've never heard Father mention it before," Guo Fu thought to herself.

Thinking of this, Guo Fu was about to speak when Wu Dunru interrupted, saying, "Junior Sister, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. Judging from his attire, he doesn't seem to be from our Great Song Dynasty. He might be trying to enter the city in Master's name. If he's a Mongol spy, the three of us won't be able to explain ourselves to Master."

Wu Xiuwen, standing to the side, chimed in, "That's right, Junior Sister. This kid looks like an unknown nobody. How could he possibly know our Master?"

Zhang Huai squinted at the two people in front of him, feeling that they were really a bit crazy. He wasn't going to compete with them for Guo Fu, and just when Guo Fu was about to give in, these two came out to cause trouble again.

He directly retorted to the two, "Hey, Da Wu and Xiao Wu, whether I'm a good person or not, you'll see clearly when you meet Guo Jing. Are you worried that I'll harm your master?"

"How dare you! You address my master by his given name!"

Zhang Huai didn't know which word touched a nerve with Da Wu and Xiao Wu, but the two of them answered in unison.

Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen were narrow-minded by nature and always regarded Guo Jing and Huang Rong as their backers. They also cared most about the respect others showed to Guo Jing. Now, Zhang Huai called their master by his name in public, and the shame of being called "Da Wu Xiao Wu" just now instantly surged into their hearts. How could they bear it?

However, Zhang Huai believed that it was because he called them Da Wu and Xiao Wu that they were so excited.

Wu Dunru's face turned ashen. He clenched his fists and shouted fiercely, "You insolent scoundrel! How dare you, a commoner, call out my master's name so casually? You were disrespectful just now, and now you've insulted my master. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know the rules of Xiangyang City!"

Wu Xiuwen's eyes widened in anger. He stepped forward, drew his sword, and pointed the tip at Zhang Huai: "Brother, there's no need to talk to him! This man is acting suspiciously and spouting nonsense; he's definitely a Mongol spy!"

If we let him into the city easily and endanger the people of Xiangyang, how can we explain this to our master and the entire city? Since he claims to know our master, let's capture him and hand him over to our master for judgment!

The two had wanted to show off in front of Guo Fu, but Zhang Huai had repeatedly violated their taboos. Before they finished speaking, Wu Dunru took the lead and leaped forward, his fist carrying some of the basic skills of the Quanzhen Sect, aiming straight for Zhang Huai's face. Wu Xiuwen followed closely behind, his long sword flicking slightly, his moves cunning, slashing towards Zhang Huai's wrist, clearly intending to subdue him directly.

But in Zhang Huai's eyes, this rudimentary skill was like a child's game, full of flaws.

However, he needed to discuss matters with Guo Jing and couldn't bring himself to hurt those two fools.

Seeing this, Zhang Huai shook his head inwardly. These two were indeed unreasonable. No wonder Guo Fu looked down on them. Since that was the case, although he couldn't hurt them, making them look bad in front of Guo Fu would probably be more painful than killing them.

A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he stood with his feet awkwardly planted, showing no sign of defense whatsoever.

The onlookers gasped, assuming the young man was terrified. Even the guards crossed their arms and sneered, waiting to see him beaten black and blue.

Guo Fu, standing to the side, was somewhat worried. After all, Zhang Huai had come from Zhongnan Mountain, and what if he had some connection with Yang Guo? Moreover, the two brothers, Da Wu and Xiao Wu, were not careful with their strength. If they injured or even killed him, how would she explain it to Yang Guo when he returned?

Wu Dunru's iron fist was about to smash into Zhang Huai's face, but Zhang Huai's feet seemed to be greased, and he slid lightly to the left, barely avoiding the wind of the punch.

Seeing that Zhang Huai had dodged the attack, Wu Dunru was not angry but pleased, as if he had caught evidence against Zhang Huai. He turned around and shouted to Guo Fu behind him, "Junior Sister Guo, he is indeed no ordinary person. After I capture him, we will investigate his background in detail."

Just as he was speaking, Zhang Huai stretched out his foot. Wu Dunru couldn't stop in time, tripped, and stumbled forward three steps, almost falling flat on his face, which drew a burst of laughter from the surrounding crowd.

He was both ashamed and angry. When he turned around, Zhang Huai was still standing there, a faint smile on his lips.

When Wu Xiuwen saw his brother in such a sorry state, he was initially delighted, but his expression betrayed his fury.

He thrust his longsword forward, employing the "Meteor Chasing the Moon" technique from the Quanzhen Swordplay, aiming straight for Zhang Huai's heart.
