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

Guo Jing's expression changed drastically; how could the situation have shifted so quickly?

However, he calmed down and asked, "What happened?"

Huang Rong, who was usually obedient to her husband, remained silent, as did Lu Guanying, who fawned over him.

Cheng Yaojia then spoke up: "Master Guo, are you aware of what Lu Guanying has done?"

Cheng Yaojia has truly attacked his spirit.

Although she and Huang Rong didn't get along and she was angry that Huang Rong stole her young man, at this moment, maximizing her own interests was the only priority; otherwise, what was the point of this whole thing?

Guo Jing remained silent, his face grim. He wasn't stupid; he could only remain unaware.

Guo Jing said, "Sister Cheng, if Lu Guanying has done anything to wrong you, please forgive him. I'm afraid he's just trying to ease the burden on his country."

Cheng Yaojia wasn't angry. She simply said, "Hero Guo, are you sure you don't want to ask the opinions of the other heroes first? You've taken it on so easily. Why don't you ask Chief Huang first?"

Guo Jing was puzzled. Wasn't this just finding two beautiful young women? Was it really necessary to ask the whole world?

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, he had no choice but to patiently inquire further.

Lu Guanying is so shameless. He really didn't know before, and he didn't expect him to spend so much money.

Cheng Yaojia was kept in the dark and scolded for over a decade; he's really not a man.

The most crucial point is that this man actually coveted his wife. Guo Jing was about to fly into a rage on the spot, but after thinking about it, he held back.

After all, everyone loves beauty, and he still misses Hua Zheng. He understands Lu Guanying quite well, but with this commotion, Cheng Yaojia might leave Lu Guanying, or even not easily. He'd better let Rong'er talk to her.

He hurriedly pulled Huang Rong aside, intending to talk to her.

But Huang Rong dodged it. Only then did he realize that Huang Rong was still looking at him the same way as before, and his heart skipped a beat.

Suppressing his suspicions, he said to Huang Rong, "Rong'er, although Lu Guanying is a scoundrel, it is still a family matter of the Lu family. Now that it has caused such a stir, I'm afraid Cheng Yaojia will not let it go. You and she have always been on good terms, why don't you try to persuade her?"

Seeing Guo Jing's state, Huang Rong felt angry but mostly disheartened, as he showed no concern for her reputation or feelings, nor did he uphold justice.

He immediately retorted, "So a woman's reputation isn't considered a reputation, but a man's prestige is?"

Guo Jing knew that it was inappropriate to say such things at this time, but he could stand firm on the moral high ground. After all, Lu Guanying had robbed the rich to help the poor and relieved the country from crisis.

If I were to be disgraced, what would I do about the floods and disasters, and what would I do about supplies?

"Rong'er, you don't understand. Lu Guanying is a patriot. How can we abandon him?"

"So someone who doesn't love his family or his wife is so patriotic? I've really learned something from that."

Guo Jing was so embarrassed by the rebuke.

However, he couldn't force the issue to be suppressed. After all, Peach Blossom Island was considered part of the Lu family's estate, and Huang Rong was Lu Guanying's aunt. If she didn't support him, these Jianghu people from Yingfengdao would probably be more concerned with their own interests.

With this incident, the Lu family village has lost both its reputation and its dignity; how can it ever hold its head high again?

Guo Jing angrily said, "Rong'er, he is, after all, your junior brother. If you treat him like this, what will become of Peach Blossom Island and the Lu family...?"

Huang Rong, too lazy to listen to his nonsense, immediately replied, "What do you think my father is doing here?"

Guo Jing's expression immediately changed. He knew his father-in-law's personality very well, and if he came, things would likely not end well. He also thought of himself in an instant.

Huang Yaoshi was a witness to Lu Cheng's marriage. If Huang Yaoshi were here, he would probably kill his grand-disciple Lu Guanying with a single palm strike.

Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing expressionlessly. She didn't want to engage in any tangled conversations with him or compromise her principles. Nor did she want to give him false hope. The reason she maintained this relationship was firstly for Guo Fu's sake, and secondly to preserve the affection they had shared for over a decade.

As for the third one, she still had her own selfish motives.

She wanted Yang Guo to visit her on Peach Blossom Island openly and legitimately, since Peach Blossom Island was, after all, her home.

Moreover, her father will definitely find out about her sooner or later.

If she reveals this now, her father will probably kill Guo Jing.

And then when she sees the little man again, she'll probably slap him too!

They're all such fickle people, even her father wouldn't approve of them.

She also had a headache, so she figured she could delay it as long as possible.

But she didn't want to endure it for as long as Cheng Yaojia did; she didn't want to endure it for even a moment longer.

Huang Rong immediately said, "Guo Jing, our friendship ends today. I know everything about you. The only reason I didn't tell the heroes in public was for Fu'er's sake. You should take care of yourself."

These words startled Guo Jing so much that his face turned pale and his pupils dilated instantly.

Without even thinking, he said, "Rong'er, it's not what you think. I... I was tricked by Lu Guanying."

Huang Rong refused to believe it. She didn't want to see this man for even a moment longer. She glanced at Yang Guo and Guo Fu, then turned and left.

Seeing that he had ended up getting himself involved in Lu Guanying's affairs, Guo Jing had no time to care about Lu Guanying anymore and chased after Huang Rong.

Guo Fu's eyes were red at that moment.

Yang came over to her and stayed with her.

"Fu'er, are you alright?"

Guo Fu forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. What happened to Father and Mother?"

Yang Guo didn't know how to explain it either, so he could only leave it to Huang Rong, since he was an outsider.

As for Lu Guanying, he has become a laughing stock.

It turns out that the head of the Lu family has a chronic illness. I never expected that the gossip about the mistress of the manor was deliberately spread by this person.

Moreover, this person's private morality is so immoral that he even schemes against and takes advantage of his wife of more than ten years.

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Cheng Yaojia said to Lu Guanying, "Lu Guanying, would you like to discuss the terms?"

Lu Guanying knew perfectly well that she was behind everything. He was gritting his teeth and was not about to talk to her. He was about to curse this bitch.

Unfortunately, she shut him up with one sentence: "What do you think will happen if Island Master Huang and my master find out about what happened today?"

Lu Guanying was terrified on the spot.

Then she added the second half of her sentence: "I want all of you."

Lu Guanying's face turned black on the spot.

Yang Guo was dumbfounded. What was going on? This woman was actually raising the price on the spot?

Well done, looks like I'll have to reward her tonight.

The grand show has ended, but the nightlife around Taihu Lake is vibrant and exciting.

Yang Guo accompanied Guo Fu to find her parents.

The streets were bustling with activity and teeming with people.

Unfortunately, neither of them was in the mood.

"Yang Guo, where do you think my parents went? What happened to them? Why are they arguing?"

Yang Guo really didn't know where they had gone. Although he knew why they were arguing, he couldn't tell her.

He really couldn't interfere in this matter.

The once bright and cheerful girl now had a rare hint of sorrow in her eyes, like a crack appearing in a piece of perfect white jade.

Yang Guo couldn't bear to see her like this, but how could he comfort her?

"Fu'er, don't worry. They'll handle their own affairs."

Yang Guo knew, of course, that Huang Rong was not an indecisive person. The reason she left without Guo Fu was that she wanted Huang Rong to handle the matter herself and let him take care of Guo Fu.

Guo Fu shook her head and stopped talking.

Yang Guo was momentarily speechless.

As the two walked, they looked at the bright moon on the bridge, where many people were already standing.

Yang Guo accompanied her as they gazed at the bright moon.

"Yang Guo, what should I do?"

Well... according to the ancient laws of carrying on the family line, you should be awarded to Guo Jing, but that might not be suitable for your mother.

Yang Guo teased, "Fu'er, then you can come with me!"

Guo Fu laughed and replied, "Okay."

This startled Yang Guo.

"Look at you, you pathetic sight! Humph. I'm not willing."

Yang Guo was furious. "Bear?"

I decided not to argue with her, considering her worries.

He also wanted to know where Huang Rong was.

After all, she was his woman, and he naturally wanted to be by her side at this moment.

Yang Guo, influenced by Guo Fu, also started missing Huang Rong.

Guo Fu looked at the stinky man beside her and felt a surge of anger.

How could she possibly let this wretched man have his fun? So she said leisurely, "Yang Guo, are you missing my mother?"
