The Return of the Condor Heroes: Starting with Conquering Huang Rong

Compared to Huang Rong's dilemma, Yang Guo didn't have as many concerns; his only concern was his own strength.

That's why he's been so eager to get to Shaolin Temple; so much has happened in just a few days.

If he thought about and worried about every single thing, I feel like he'd go bald.

As for Huang Rong, regardless of whether she still has feelings for him, judging from her current actions, she probably prioritizes Yang Guo. What's holding her back is probably Guo Fu, and throughout the journey, there's always a feeling that Guo Jing is hiding something.

Now that he hasn't returned home for a whole night after only a short time, it's probably related to Lu Guanying.

Most importantly, he didn't even consult with Huang Rong.

The old Huang Rong would naturally refuse, but now that her heart is entirely with Yang Guo, she is happy to do so.

Yang Guo couldn't figure it out, nor did he want to. He planned to stay for a few days to rest. However, he mastered the Azure Wave Palm Technique in just one night, changing between illusion and reality, and his moves could be changed at will. This was already the threshold of minor success.

However, if the transitions are not smooth enough, one will still be constrained by the moves. When one practices until it becomes an instinctive reaction, and one can naturally use the most appropriate move depending on the situation, that is when one has achieved a minor success.

However, if Yang Guo's internal energy were to be used arbitrarily now, it would not be very powerful, since the Azure Wave Palm Technique requires a series of overlapping attacks to be effective.

Unfortunately, the Azure Wave Heart Method is only an entry-level method. Even at its peak, it only opens the meridians, meaning it operates within the twelve regular meridians. It lacks the pathways to the dangerous and mysterious gates of the eight extraordinary meridians. Therefore, the highest level one can achieve is only the beginning of the third-rate realm.

In other words, Yang Guo was exceptionally talented and had no other martial arts skills, so he spent some time practicing.

If your cultivation technique generates 1 point of internal energy per cycle, while his generates 2 points of internal energy with additional attributes, what kind of idiot would learn this garbage?

Therefore, Yang Guo was quite looking forward to the Nine Yang Manual. The palm wind was like fire, but that was secondary. The most important thing was that its characteristics were endless, making it as resilient as a cockroach. It was truly a grand ceremony for healing injuries. Otherwise, why would Zhang Wuji heal women's injuries every day?

Yang Guo wondered if he should do the same in the future.

As for the woman in his arms, she was probably already a top-notch expert. Yang Guo remembered that she could use acupressure, but he didn't want to try her acupressure skills.

Huang Rong dared not move a muscle in his arms, her previous allure long gone, replaced only by sorrow and grief.

Yang Guo sighed inwardly, gave her a light kiss on the lips, and then released her.

Huang Rong bit her lip, trying hard not to let her tears fall. This man was a bastard.

Seeing Huang Rong's worried expression, he suggested, "Why don't we go listen to her?"

After gritting her teeth, Huang Rong thought about it and decided to give up.

Yang Guo couldn't sleep after she did that, so after she left, he got up and went to the garden to look at the moon.

Little did he know that at this very moment, his every move was being watched by someone, and even Huang Rong's secret appearance was being observed.

Silent all night.

Yang Guo tidied himself up and then left the room.

In the courtyard, they saw Guo Jing and the three little ones.

At this moment, Guo Jing was giving a speech, teaching Guo Fu and the three Wu brothers how to practice martial arts.

Guo Fu's eyes lit up when she saw Yang Guo, but Guo Jing's admonition left her with a bitter expression, while Da Wu and Xiao Wu were beaming with excitement.

Yang Guo didn't become his disciple. He glanced at Ke Zhen'e, who was sitting there drinking tea, and rolled his eyes. Then he walked over, just to annoy him.

Yang Guo poured himself a cup of tea and drank it by himself.

When Ke Zhen'e "saw" Yang Guo approaching, he shakily leaned on his cane and walked away.

Yang Guo ignored him, but wondered what Huang Rong was thinking.

Huang Rong had composed herself and went to find Cheng Yaojia. The two women exchanged pleasantries upon meeting.

Huang Rong asked, "Sister Cheng, where did Brother Jing and Guan Ying go yesterday?"

Cheng Yaojia asked疑惑地问道, "Weren't they having a late-night talk in the study?"

Huang Rong shook her head. She hadn't been able to sleep since returning to her room last night, and she was feeling dizzy from staying up all night. She didn't know how much time had passed when she vaguely saw Guo Jing return. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that her Jing-gege was different. First, he grabbed his clothes and ran out, and then he stared at her body.

This startled Huang Rong awake, and she pretended to be asleep. But ever since Guo Jing came in, she had been able to smell a faint scent.

She drifted off to sleep and only remembered it when she woke up in the morning – wasn't that the smell of the sleeping powder?

So she came to Cheng Yaojia's place. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the manor owner and his wife, so she came here to ask for answers.

Cheng Yaojia had always known that Lu Guanying had other ways to pass the time.

He hadn't touched her since their wedding night, but to outsiders they appeared to be a perfect couple. The man was a chivalrous hero, working tirelessly for his country and family; the woman stayed at the mountain village, devoted to her husband but not to raising their children.

Because everyone knew they had no children, although outsiders didn't say it, everyone praised Lu Guanying as a true hero.

She hadn't paid attention to it in her early years, but after going out one time, she realized how outsiders viewed her.

"Is this Madam Lu? She's so beautiful. What a pity. It would be nice to spend the whole night with her. Nothing bad will happen anyway."

"Master Lu, what a real man! He hasn't even taken a concubine. It seems he truly loves you."

She thought it was her fault and had even advised Lu Guanying to take a concubine, but to her surprise, he refused, which moved her deeply.

One day, after waiting for a long time without seeing Lu Guanying return home, she went to look for him and came to Zuixianlou, where she witnessed a disgusting scene.

The seemingly perfect couple, admired by all, and the respected hero Lu, were feasting on a beautiful woman.

She was furious and was about to storm in when, unexpectedly, the person inside the room became angry.

"Useless, you're useless too. With looks like that, you can't even arouse my interest. Keep going."

"Get out, get out, damn it, is it that God has decreed that the Lu family line will end?"

She never saw that woman from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion again.

Afterwards, the man discussed with her the idea of ​​adopting a child as his own, asking her to cover it up. She, of course, refused, as he wouldn't allow it.

Because of the Cheng family and the Quanzhen Sect, Lu Guanying naturally dared not use force.

And so she lived her life, rarely leaving the mansion, until one day she met a young man by the river.

Cheng Yaojia was puzzled. Did Lu Guanying bring Guo Jing along? But the Guo Jing she knew didn't seem like that kind of person.

Isn't Huang Meimei very loving with Guo Jing, and they even have a daughter?

But she couldn't bring herself to talk about these family scandals, so she comforted her gently, "Little sister, Brother Guo wouldn't do anything to betray you, don't overthink it."

Huang Rong was only there to confirm, but she knew in her heart that after more than ten years, her feelings had long faded, and she only had familial affection for him. However, the way he looked at her last night clearly showed a strange desire.

This was unfamiliar to her; after all, a sudden change in a person is very unusual.

Seeing that Cheng Yaojia couldn't say anything, Huang Rong stopped thinking about it and instead asked, "Does your household have a maid named Bi'er?"

"Bi'er?" Cheng Yaojia was annoyed for a while. This younger sister was Yu'er yesterday and Bi'er today. If she stayed a few more days, she was afraid she would have to find several people.

"There is no one named Bi'er."

"No!?"

"What's wrong, little sister?"

"Sister, don't joke around, this is very important."

Yang Guo would never lie to her about something like this. Regardless of whether Bi'er was a member of the manor or not, it meant that this manor was very strange. She had asked Da Wu and Xiao Wu in the morning, but their answers were exactly the same as what they told Yang Guo yesterday. They must be inexperienced young men who couldn't keep secrets and wouldn't lie to their master's wife.

Seeing Huang Rong's caution, Cheng Yaojia shook her head. Although she didn't know what was going on, she figured it must be Lu Guanying's doing. What could she say?

Huang Rong felt that her sister was hiding something from her, but the older sister just wouldn't say.

Looking at Cheng Yaojia, who remained unmoved by reason, Huang Rong suddenly revealed a sly smile.

As if casually remarking, she said, "Hey, doesn't that Bi'er look like the young man she's looking for?"

Cheng Yaojia suddenly stood up.
