Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 29 Encounter

"My name is Lin Yao. I discovered some filthy practices of the Beggars' Sect disciples, such as harvesting and mutilating animals. I originally only thought about protecting myself, but I was chased all the way. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore and killed all the madmen. As a result, your good daughter saw this and attacked me without distinguishing right from wrong."

Knowing Guo Jing's personality, Lin Yao recounted his experiences in detail, causing the latter's expression to change slightly as he turned his head to look at his wife beside him.

As for her beloved Jing-gege's self-promotion, Huang Rong shook her head almost imperceptibly, meaning that she couldn't so easily believe the one-sided story of that frivolous daughter of hers!

He then continued to stare intently at Lin Yao, seemingly looking for an opportunity to make a move.

However, Lin Yao was very cautious in the face of the two masters. Although he was holding Guo Fu’s slender waist, which was smooth and elastic even through her clothes, he did not indulge in the wonderful touch. He was always keeping an eye on the angle from which he could attack Guo Fu’s neck and other vital points.

If anyone dares to make a move, it's best to kill them first, regardless of whether they are pretty or not.

Seeing the determination and killing intent in Lin Yao's eyes, Huang Rong, now a mother, no longer had the decisiveness she had during her time in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. She was very troublesome and dared not make a move rashly.

Seeing the reaction of the person in front of him, and Lin Yao, who felt a little uncomfortable under Huang Rong's sharp gaze, he immediately said, "Old lady, don't stare at me like that. We have no chance. You were born before I was born, and I was born after you were old. Don't think about a young girl taking advantage of a young man."

"You look a bit like the little girl in my arms, the twins who called her Guo Fu. You must be my future mother-in-law. Don't look at me like that, I'm afraid my father-in-law next to me will misunderstand."

"you----"

Upon hearing this, a hint of annoyance flashed in Guo Fu's eyes, and her face turned even redder. Just as she was about to say something, Lin Yao tightened his large hand around her waist, pressing the two tightly together, making it impossible for her to say anything more.

The two twin sycophants watched with eyes bulging with rage, wishing they could greatly improve their martial arts skills and tear Lin Yao to pieces. Now they only regretted not having worked harder to cultivate their martial arts skills back then.

Guo Fu lowered her head slightly, unable to see the gazes of her little followers behind her, or even her own parents.

I've had such a bad day.

Guo Fu was on the verge of tears.

As for Lin Yao, although he was doing something that seemed very intimate, he had actually taken a small step back, shielding half of Guo Fu's body in front of him.

Lin Yao remained unmoved by the burning gazes of the sycophantic men behind him, his eyes constantly fixed on Guo Jing and Huang Rong in front of him.

"Young man, your kung fu is so superb, yet you remain unknown in the martial arts world. You must have worked hard and practiced diligently, and you are a resolute person who can endure loneliness. Why are you making things difficult for my daughter, a weak woman?"

Even with Guo Jing's somewhat simple and honest nature, he was filled with anger upon hearing this. However, even with his current strength as the number one person below the Five Greats, he could not bring himself to do the noble act of killing his own daughter in the face of such a situation.

As for Huang Rong, who wanted to take action in secret, she became increasingly angry at Lin Yao's words. Even Ouyang Feng back then had never made her feel this bad.

Seeing Lin Yao subtly using Guo Fu to shield his vital areas, such as his throat and brows, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"This little fox is incredibly cunning—as for the so-called 'old ox chewing tender grass,' how could you, a mere brat, compare to even a hair on my brother Jing's head? Bah—"

"No need to say any more. Anyway, it was your daughter who attacked me without any explanation and hurt my fragile heart. I'm ready to take her back as my wife."

Of course, this is just my side of the story. If you don't believe me, go back and check if your Beggars' Sect is hiding any of the dirty deeds you've done.

How many people were killed after discovering this? Among them, you so-called heroes and heroines, renowned throughout the martial arts world, are actually the protectors of these people who harm the common people.

Don't you feel ashamed?

"Or did you enter officialdom through force, ostensibly to defend your country, only to be gradually assimilated by it, your initial beliefs now worthless? In that case, disregard what I said and go ahead and make your move."

"Brother Lin—"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing's expression changed slightly in response to Lin Yao's series of pointed questions. He subconsciously wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words.

As someone with a pure heart, he could sense that there was no deception or exaggeration in Lin Yao's words, which made him feel even more uneasy.

He is currently holding fast in the Xiangyang area to protect the common people, but the Beggars' Clan, a large gang under his command, is harming his fellow countrymen, which is causing him great distress.

"Brother Jing————"

Seemingly sensing that Guo Jing's heart was already swayed by Lin Yao, Huang Rong reached out and tugged at his sleeve, wanting to say something but not daring to interfere.

After all, although she was not the leader of the Beggars' Sect, she held great power in the sect, and any misdeeds committed by her disciples that were not dealt with in time could be attributed to her.

She understood that her beloved Jing-gege was so distressed because he had considered this aspect.

"Alright, stop looking so bitter and resentful. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd suffered some great injustice. In fact, your current life isn't without the offerings that the Beggars' Sect gets by exploiting the blood and sweat of the poor."

Of course, you, Guo Jing, are famous throughout the martial arts world, so you must not be the kind of person who deceives the world and steals fame. Now, your most important task is to find out the truth as soon as possible, clean up your own ranks, and then every now and then, conduct a self-examination of your own forces and get rid of some opportunists in order to maintain the integrity of your subordinates to the greatest extent.

Of course, that's a matter for later. Right now, the most important thing is still about me, your daughter, and our relationship with you all.

Lin Yao waved his hand impatiently.

"As for matters between us, those are matters of the martial world. Let's just say that you, Guo Jing, are a great hero with unparalleled strength, so let's follow the rules of the martial world."

"I'm just starting out, and I'm facing off against you, the renowned Master Guo. I'll take you down in one move."

If you can't kill me in one move, then admit to my relationship with my daughter.

After all, we kissed and hugged in front of so many people.

"Since I'm acknowledging you as my father-in-law and you're acknowledging me as your son-in-law, of course we also need to consider your daughter's feelings. There's no rush into marriage; getting to know each other first is fine."

"6

Upon hearing this, everyone present stared at Lin Yao in disbelief. Was he really going to act so rashly?!

Guo Fu's originally fiery personality had been gradually subdued by Lin Yao's previous actions, and she had become accustomed to his astonishing words.

On the contrary, he was the calmest person present, even though this matter was the most important to him.

She even had a strange feeling that this bastard named Lin Yao was actually considering her thoughts.

He had been so insistent before, but now he was considering his thoughts, unlike in this era where marriage is based solely on parental consent and matchmaker's arrangement. Even if two people don't know each other the day before their wedding, they still have to form a family.

Guo Jing's lips twitched slightly. He suppressed his anger and pondered for a while before finally nodding slightly and saying, "Since Brother Lin has said so, then I can only agree. Of course, if everything is as you say, I will not take your life. As for the matter between you and my daughter, I will have to consider the wishes of my wife and daughter."

Because Lin Yao looked very young, at most in his early twenties, Guo Jing did not think he was that strong.

Moreover, Guo Fu only brought a dozen or so servants with her on this hunting trip, along with the Wu family brothers who were cunning and incompetent in martial arts.

Judging from Lin Yao's cautious demeanor when facing him and his wife, he might possess martial arts skills, but they certainly wouldn't be very high.

Otherwise, given the arrogant and domineering nature of the person in front of him, he would have already attacked without hesitation, instead of taking his daughter hostage.

The title of the number one person below the Five Greats is not something that can be earned by the praise of others. He can suppress a young man in his twenties with ease.

In fact, given Guo Jing's personality, he admired Lin Yao's straightforward nature. If he could get to know his daughter from a gentler perspective, he wouldn't mind the two of them getting to know each other.

"Alright, let's attack together and see if I can withstand the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."

As soon as Lin Yao finished speaking, he did not loosen his grip on Guo Fu. Instead, he held her tightly, suddenly exerted force with his feet, and leaped up, slamming his palm towards Guo Jing.

Seeing this, Guo Jing remained calm, flicked his sleeve slightly, extended his right palm, circulated his internal energy into his palm, and unleashed a powerful palm strike towards Lin Yao.

Despite Guo Jing's reputation as the strongest person below the Five Greats in the original novel, he always needs the protagonist Yang Guo to save the day at crucial moments.

But in fact, after years of accumulation, Guo Jing's strength is no less than that of the five old men mentioned above.

After all, Guo Jing had practiced the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms for decades. Although his training speed seemed slow, it was only based on his experience with Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu. In fact, with his pure heart, he was no less capable than anyone else in the original story.

Once the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are unleashed, they can shatter the boulder in front of them; an ordinary person would have been reduced to dust long ago.

Of course, Guo Jing kept his word and stopped at this point, only thinking about defeating Lin Yao, subduing him, and rescuing his daughter. He would deal with the rest later.

"Snapped!"

Just when Guo Jing thought he could defeat and cripple Lin Yao in one move, he didn't expect that the moment their palms met, a tremendous force suddenly surged from their palms, actually able to withstand it. No, could this power be from a martial arts genius with innate divine strength?!

Before Guo Jing could change his move, Lin Yao seized the opening Guo Jing had made, increased the power of his palm, and slammed it into Guo Jing's arm with undiminished force.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Guo Jing staggered back several steps, his palms turning slightly red, clearly indicating he had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

"father----"

Seeing that his father, whom he considered invincible, had actually been outmaneuvered by Lin Yao in their first encounter, he was shocked to discover that Lin Yao had gained the upper hand.

Although there were unexpected reasons, the age difference between the two was indeed shocking.

Guo Fu must have mixed feelings about Lin Yao, who is still holding her.

"Such strength, Brother Jing—"

Huang Rong anxiously helped Guo Jing, who had already lowered his head and remained silent, perhaps feeling that she had been somewhat arrogant over the years.

Is it because of the widespread praise that he lowered his guard in front of young people?

"Great Hero Guo Jing, the outcome is decided. Will you keep your promise?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing, who had been silent for a while, glanced awkwardly at his daughter, whose expression was unclear, and his wife, who was concerned about him. He sighed and fell silent again.

Seeing Guo Jing's appearance, Lin Yao felt the power he had felt earlier and was somewhat relieved that Guo Jing hadn't used his full strength.

Otherwise, we would have lost long ago.

During the fight just now, if Lin Yao hadn't been physically strong and hadn't possessed extraordinary strength, he would have lost to Guo Jing, who had held back his power.
