Huang Rong was stunned, and her heart fluttered.

“But I won’t give it to you.” Ling Chi shook his head, seeing Huang Rong’s expression instantly darken, and said calmly, “So far, I’ve only obtained two spots, and one of them was given to Shuang’er. Do you understand?”

"..." Huang Rong was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I see."

She sighed softly, stroking her cheek: "I'm not the teenager I used to be anymore."

"So all I can offer is a restricted spot, but unfortunately you don't want it." Ling Chi wiped his hands with a damp towel and said, "Although canaries have no freedom, they can still live; sparrows have freedom, but their lives are precarious. The gains and losses vary from person to person. Since you have chosen to be a sparrow, I respect your choice, but you must also be prepared to face the storms alone."

Huang Rong nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Ling. Although I've chosen to be a sparrow, I wonder if Xiang'er and Po Lu feel the same way? If possible..."

Ling Chi shook his head: "Xiang'er is fine, but Po Lu is the only son of the Guo family, I can't keep him."

"That's fine." Huang Rong smiled slightly, smoothed her hair, and said, "Xiang'er is truly blessed."

"Spend more time with Xiang'er these years!" Ling Chi said. "I'll come to pick her up when she turns eighteen."

Huang Rong nodded, a hint of sorrow flashing in her eyes.

……

Two and a half months later, Huang Rong returned to Xiangyang with Guo Xiang and Guo Polu. However, after returning to Xiangyang, Huang Rong began to subject Guo Xiang to hellish training.

Everything she knew, Guo Jing knew, and Huang Yaoshi knew, she crammed Guo Xiang with into learning it all. Even if she couldn't understand many things, it didn't matter; as long as she remembered them, there would be plenty of time to understand them later.

In comparison, Guo Polu was much happier. Although he had also started practicing martial arts, he focused more on his academic studies, got plenty of rest every day, and showed great promise for becoming a top scholar in the imperial examinations.

In just over a decade, Guo Xiang became a super academic achiever. Not only did she surpass boys of the same age in martial arts, but she also directly overwhelmed Guo Polu in terms of culture and talent, causing him great psychological trauma.

My older sister is too amazing, what am I going to do, younger brother?

However, Guo Xiang's intense studies over the past ten years have diminished the closeness that children should have towards their parents. If it weren't for her godfather occasionally bringing her delicious food and fun things to visit and comfort her over the past decade, she would have run away from home long ago.

She prefers to be closer to her godfather than to her biological parents.

Seeing Guo Xiang becoming increasingly rebellious, Huang Rong felt somewhat guilty but did not regret it: "Xiang'er, forgive your mother for being cruel. But everything I've done is for your own good."

……

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. During these years, Ling Chi encountered Master Yideng and the Old Rascal a few times when he went out, and successfully obtained recipes from them. They were all high-level blue recipes, and the effect was quite good.

After eating the food he cooked, the Old Urchin would occasionally run back to the cabin. During this time, the Old Urchin took a liking to Little Dragon Girl and passed on his Ambidextrous Technique to her, which put Ling Chi in a rather unfortunate situation.

He suddenly realized that he might not be able to defeat Little Dragon Girl...

He also tried to learn the Ambidextrous Fighting Technique, but his mind was more complicated than Guo Jing's or Xiaolongnu's, so he failed to learn it and almost ended up hurting himself with both hands.

Do you know what it feels like to use the Quanzhen Sword Technique in your left hand and the Jade Maiden Sword Technique in your right hand, and then strike yourself with both at the same time?

I know.

I'm not going to say anything more; it'll only bring tears to my eyes.

In addition, ten years ago, Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying left the cabin together, saying they were going to see the world overseas, and never returned.

This is, of course, just the surface story. In reality, the cousins ​​disappeared from this world shortly after leaving and entered the farm of the God of Cookery space.

Previously, after the two sisters exposed Ling Chi and Shuang'er's secret, they took the initiative to talk to them. After in-depth communication, the two sisters accepted the opportunity to gain immortality in exchange for losing their freedom.

In Lu Wushuang's words, "A hundred acres of farmland is not small, and you don't need to go to the toilet, you don't have those days every month, and you can live forever, what more could you ask for?"

She was a laid-back girl to begin with, and Cheng Ying was also a girl who could endure loneliness. It was just a matter of losing some freedom, which they could completely accept.

And so, Ling Chi recruited the two women and brought them to the farm.

Upon entering the farm, Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying discovered that the situation was much better than they had imagined. Although they had to do farm work every day, it was insignificant compared to what they would receive.

The only thing that bothered the two girls was that one named Xiao Zhao and the other named Yin Li insisted that they recognize them as their older sisters, saying that they would protect them in the future.

Pshaw! We have big brothers protecting us, who cares about you?

"Sister Xiao Zhao, Sister Zhu'er."

The two sisters chose to follow their hearts.

"Hey, sweetie." Xiao Zhao and Yin Li smiled brightly: "Come on, let's go bully some people!"

"Who are you bullying?"

Bullying people as soon as they arrive? Is it that exciting?

"A vile woman named Zhou Zhiruo!" Xiao Zhao and Yin Li gritted their teeth.

"..."

When Guo Xiang was eighteen, Ling Chi recruited Xiao Longnv and several other people on the list, and came to Xiangyang with Shuang'er to take Guo Xiang away.

(The Return of the Condor Heroes, Volume 3, End)

The Fourth Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter One: The First Mount Hua Sword Tournament

Beyond the mountains, green hills rise; beyond the buildings, more buildings stand. When will the songs and dances of West Lake cease? The warm breeze intoxicates the tourists, making them mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou.

After the Shaoxing Peace Treaty and the execution of Yue Fei, the Song emperor and his officials only cared about drinking and making merry by West Lake, watching songs and dances, intending to make Hangzhou the capital for generations to come, and never wanting to recover lost territory or return to the old capital of Bianliang.

The people of the Southern Song Dynasty could only feel indignant in silence, but were powerless to do anything about it.

In the martial arts world, there was once a highly skilled hero who resisted the Jin dynasty. However, after his defeat, he became disheartened and chose to become a Taoist monk. He founded the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain and enjoyed the reputation of being the "orthodox school of martial arts in the world".

Yes, this person's name is Wang Chongyang.

In recent years, the martial arts world has not been very peaceful.

Since the Nine Yin Manual was lost to the martial arts world, various sects and even some wandering martial artists have coveted it, leading to large-scale fighting and killings in the martial arts world.

Wang Chongyang saw this and thought, "This won't do." So, using his influence in the martial arts world, he joined forces with Huang Yaoshi, Duan Zhixing, Hong Qigong, and others to launch the first Mount Hua Sword Tournament, agreeing that whoever could become the best in the world during the tournament would receive the Nine Yin Manual.

This news caused a sensation in the martial arts world.

As martial arts figures continued to gather at Mount Hua, a brother and sister also arrived at the place.

"Cut cake! Delicious cut cake! Fragrant and sweet cut cake! One piece will give you a hundred points of energy, two pieces will make you feel like a dragon and tiger, ten taels of silver a piece, come and buy!"

"..."

The brother and sister, the older brother was eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in white, tall and thin, with a tall hat on his head, looking like a ghost, which was quite eerie.

The younger sister, on the other hand, looked about twelve or thirteen years old. Although she was dressed simply, she was petite and adorable, making her very likable.

But this cut cake is actually selling for ten taels of silver...

"You little brat, are you trying to rob me?!" A burly man glared angrily, his eyes wide like copper bells, his chest muscles bulging, making him quite intimidating.

"Sir, you've misunderstood me." The young man in white robes and a tall hat explained repeatedly, "My cut cake is made with all sorts of precious ingredients, which are mashed into juice and then boiled to make cut cake. Eating one piece will make you feel energetic, and that's not nonsense. If you don't believe me, sir, try a piece. If you don't feel energetic after eating it, you won't have to pay a penny."

"Is it really that good?" The burly man looked at the packaged cut cakes, puffed out his chest muscles, and said, "Give me a piece to try."

"Please, sir." The young man in white and a tall hat handed the big man a piece of cut cake with a smile.

The burly man opened the packaging, took a sniff, and was intoxicated by the sweet aroma: "This is quite something."

As you put the cut cake in your mouth, your upper teeth bite into your lower teeth, and there's a crisp cracking sound.

"Well--"

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of the high-level white-class diner Zhang Tieniu. The diner's level is too low and does not count towards the conquest count. The high-level white-class recipe - Hand-shredded Beef has been dropped."

"Hand-shredded beef: Advanced white recipe, Stamina +50, Energy +25, no cooldown time."

Ling Chi, dressed in white and wearing a tall hat, curled his lip. "It's better than nothing!"

……

He had been in the new world for several months, and ever since he heard the news that Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect was still alive, he knew that this must be the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

After spending a few months learning about the current dynasty and calculating the time, it should be 1196, the third year of Emperor Ningzong of Song's reign.

Twenty-eight years remained before Emperor Lizong of Song ascended the throne. Meanwhile, Temujin had become the Khan of the Mongol Qiyan tribe, making arduous progress towards unifying Mongolia and dominating the world.

Leaving aside national affairs, not long ago Lingchi heard about the Mount Hua Sword Tournament at a small teahouse, so he and Shuang'er calculated the date and arrived at the foot of Mount Hua today.

Unlike the Huashan Sect, which dominated the world, the Huashan Sect had not yet appeared, and its buildings were empty, which made the two of them feel somewhat regretful.

After a moment of sighing, Ling Chi saw thousands of martial arts practitioners gathered at the foot of the mountain and smiled, his eyes narrowing.

So many recipes!

"Sir, is ten taels of silver a good price?" Ling Chi asked with a smile as he watched Zhang Tieniu begin his chest-shaking dance.

"Hahaha, worth it! Worth it! Absolutely worth it!" Zhang Tieniu felt better than ever before, even more exhilarated than by the village widow Wang. Ten taels of silver, more than enough.

“Then, ten taels of silver…” Ling Chi said with a smile.

"Silver? I have none!" Zhang Tieniu's face hardened, he puffed out his chest muscles, and said, "I, Tieniu, have no money, but I have your life. What are you going to do about it?"

Shameless!

Scumbag!

Before Ling Chi could speak, the nearby martial arts figures began to curse: "Eating without paying, you scum of the martial arts world!"

Despite being scorned by everyone, Zhang Tieniu was like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water. He crossed his arms and said, "I'm going to eat without paying, what can you do to me?"

"..."

Ling Chi's smile gradually faded, and he turned to Shuang'er, saying, "Don't kill him."

Shuang'er nodded and then vanished in a flash.

The next moment, Zhang Tieniu felt a tearing pain in his lower body. He let out a miserable scream, clutched his groin, and rolled on the ground in agony.

"My dick! Ah! My dick!!!"

Ling Chi frowned: "It's so noisy."

Shuang'er understood and chopped Zhang Tieniu in the neck artery with a chop, instantly silencing him.

Then, Shuang'er found a money bag on Zhang Tieniu's body, which contained a few pieces of silver, totaling about ten taels.

“Brother, it’s a little over ten taels,” Shuang’er said.

Ling Chi nodded: "Consider the extra amount as compensation for lost work time! This person is too much of an eyesore, get rid of him."
