Yang Guo: I'm invincible in the opening battle against Aunt Guo!

At the same moment, as Guo Fu stepped on the royal flag, inside the central command tent of the Mongol camp.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

Kublai Khan's roar echoed throughout the tent.

At this moment, he was completely devoid of his usual refined demeanor; his face was ashen, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.

On the ground in front of him lay a white silk handkerchief.

It was taken down from the flagpole this morning; it's a blatant mockery.

The Golden Wheel Dharma King stood with his head bowed, saying nothing.

Nemo Xing, Xiao Xiangzi, Yin Kexi, Darba, and Huo Du stood on either side, each with an ugly expression and silent as if trembling with fear.

Kublai Khan pointed outside the tent, "So many of you, and you promised me last time that you could absolutely guard the royal banner, and what happened? The banner was lost again! Not only that, dozens of tents were burned! More than half of the grain was lost! Where do you expect me to put my face?"

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said coldly, "I'm giving you one last chance. Reclaim the royal banner within three days. Otherwise…"

He didn't finish his sentence, but his cold gaze said it all.

The Golden Wheel Monk bowed and said, "I will obey Your Highness's command."

Kublai Khan waved his hand: "Get out!"

The six men filed out, leaving only Kublai Khan in the main tent.

He stared at the white silk handkerchief on the ground, a murderous glint in his eyes.

"Zhou Botong... Yang Guo... Xiangyang..."

He slowly clenched his fist.

……

After venting her anger, Guo Fu took Yang Guo and said goodbye to Guo Jing.

After leaving Guo Jing's study, I had just reached the corner of the corridor when I encountered two familiar figures.

Lu Wushuang, dressed in a light pink dress, skipped and hopped ahead, a lively smile on her face.

Cheng Ying followed behind her, wearing a light blue dress, with gentle features, and holding a book in her hand, clearly having just come from her own courtyard.

"Brother Yang!" Lu Wushuang's eyes lit up when she saw Yang Guo, and she quickly walked up to him. "Sister Fu'er!"

Guo Fu greeted them with a smile: "Sister Wushuang, Uncle Cheng."

The way she addressed Lu Wushuang was something the two of them had discussed in private.

After all, in terms of seniority, Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying are of the same generation.

Cheng Ying was Huang Yaoshi's disciple, and of the same generation as Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Now that Lu Wushuang and Yang Guo have a close relationship, Guo Fu calls Lu Wushuang "elder sister" instead of "elder."

Cheng Ying nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over Yang Guo's face before quickly shifting away, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Lu Wushuang, holding Guo Fu's hand, suddenly asked, "Brother Yang, are you taking Fu'er swimming?"

Guo Fu was taken aback: "Swimming? What do you mean?"

Lu Wushuang blinked, somewhat surprised: "Fu'er, don't you know? Brother Yang built a swimming pool himself, right in his courtyard in the east of the city! It's so much fun! The water is warm, you can even take a bath in it, and there are all those lounge chairs..."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, gesturing wildly to indicate the name.

After listening, Guo Fu turned to look at Yang Guo, her eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and grievance:

"Brother Yang, you built a swimming pool? How come I didn't know?"

Yang Guo looked at her and chuckled inwardly.

This girl is going to get jealous again.

He quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and said softly, "Fu-mei, this courtyard was only recently finished. I originally planned to give you a surprise after everything was settled. I didn't expect Wu-shuang to be so quick to tell you beforehand."

Lu Wushuang stuck out her tongue, realizing she'd let something slip, and quickly tried to cover it up: "Yes, yes, Fu'er, Brother Yang definitely wanted to surprise you!"

Looking into Yang Guo's sincere eyes, Guo Fu felt much of her grievances subside.

She pursed her lips and whispered, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Yang Guo pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "If you don't believe me, Fu-mei, let's go see for ourselves now. If you're not satisfied, you can scold me."

Guo Fu was amused by him, and gently punched him, saying reproachfully, "Who's going to scold you?"

She thought for a moment, then said, "Then... shall we go take a look now?"

Yang Guo nodded and turned to Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying: "Wushuang, Martial Aunt, you should come too. The weather is nice today, perfect for swimming."

Lu Wushuang nodded repeatedly, excitedly pulling Cheng Ying along, "Cousin, let's go! Let's go together!"

Cheng Ying blushed slightly and said softly, "I...I think I'll pass..."

"Oh, cousin!" Lu Wushuang grabbed her hand and pulled her away without waiting for a reply. "You've already been, what are you being shy about? Today is Fu'er's first time going, it'll be more fun with lots of people!"

Cheng Ying was dragged along by her and had no choice but to follow.

The group of four left the Guo residence and headed towards the small courtyard in the east of the city.

East Courtyard

After arriving at the back garden.

Guo Fu was stunned.

The azure pool water shimmered in the sunlight, and the white pool walls were spotless.

Several deck chairs are neatly arranged under the parasols by the pool.

The pool water was crystal clear, and the light blue tiles at the bottom were faintly visible.

Although the underwater lights were not turned on, one can imagine how dreamlike it must be at night.

"This...this is the swimming pool?" Guo Fu murmured, her eyes filled with amazement.

Yang Guo walked up to her and said with a smile, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Guo Fu nodded repeatedly, excitedly grabbing his hand: "Brother Yang, is the water warm?"

"Yes, it's kept at a constant temperature, so you can go into the water anytime."

Guo Fu's eyes shone even brighter.

She squatted down and reached out to test the water temperature. It was indeed warm and comfortable, and a childlike smile appeared on her face.

Yang Guo took out a small bundle from his bosom and handed it to Guo Fu: "Sister Fu, put this on and you can go into the water."

Guo Fu took it, opened it, and saw—

A few thin pieces of fabric, a few thin straps.

She was stunned.

What... what kind of clothes are these?

She picked it up and examined it closely. The fabric was pitifully small; the set was light pink, with the upper body consisting of just two small triangular pieces of fabric, and the lower body even less…

Guo Fu's face instantly turned bright red.

"Brother Yang!" she stamped her foot in embarrassment, "This...how can I possibly wear this!"

Yang Guo laughed and said, "This is called a bikini, it's specially made for swimming. Look at Wushuang, she wore it yesterday."

Lu Wushuang pulled out her bikini from her bosom at just the right moment.

A pink outfit, similar in style to the one Yang Guo gave to Guo Fu.

She swayed back and forth, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "Fu'er, this is so comfortable! Soaking in the water is so much fun!"

Guo Fu glanced at Lu Wushuang, then at the pieces of cloth in her hand, and bit her lip.

She didn't want to lose to Lu Wushuang.

Besides, this was prepared for her by Brother Yang...

"Then...then I'll go change," she whispered, pulling Lu Wushuang towards the main room. "Sister Wushuang, come with me."

Lu Wushuang smiled and went with her.

Cheng Ying stood still, hesitated for a moment, and then followed.
