Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Chapter 122 The Methods of a Female Zhuge Liang

Guo Fu's actions were so shocking that even the brilliant strategist Huang Rong couldn't help but gasp.

Can this continue for a few years?

This cannot be explained by mere spoiled behavior.

In particular, after learning from the words of the Da Wu and Xiao Wu brothers about what Guo Fu had said to the Taoist Golden Boy Yue Que, Huang Rong was truly terrified, and her face turned pale.

Knowing that everyone in the Ancient Tomb Sect is an orphan is one thing, but saying it directly to their faces is another.

The fact that Yue Que, the Golden Boy, didn't kill several people on the spot was all thanks to Jing Gege's timely arrival; otherwise, Huang Rong really wouldn't want to know what kind of scene it would have been.

"Fu'er, you!"

Huang Rong gently stroked Guo Fu's head, and then removed the "mask" that Guo Fu had made with her own hair. After gently fixing Guo Fu's hair, she touched Guo Fu's face, which still had a blush, and said, "Think more carefully before you speak in the future. If you're really unsure about what's important, then ask Guo'er."

Huang Rong knew that her good-for-nothing daughter's sharp tongue was influenced by her master, Tian Shi.

Huang Rong was initially worried that Yang Guo's hesitation stemmed from his daughter's outspoken nature, but now she saw the love in Yang Guo's eyes for Guo Fu.

However, Huang Rong still had some doubts in her heart. Originally, her good-for-nothing daughter was just a little spoiled and had a sharp tongue, but she had never done anything so shocking. Could it be that Yang Guo had taught her something during their interactions?

"Guo'er, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

"Fu'er, I'm entrusting her to you."

After giving Yang Guo a loving smile, Huang Rong placed her daughter's hand in Yang Guo's hand, an action that immediately made both of them blush.

With their heads down, their hands were clasped tightly together, unwilling to let go.

It is clear.

Huang Rong's actions definitively determined the relationship between the two, since tacit consent and explicit consent are two different concepts.

The fact that it was Huang Rong, not Guo Jing, who confirmed this makes it even more significant for Yang Guo.

Watching her daughter and Yang Guo walk ahead, Huang Rong observed the two brothers, Da Wu and Xiao Wu, again. This time, she noticed that the two brothers seemed to have lost their usual indignation.

It's clear that the two brothers have fully grasped the situation.

Huang Rong knew the two brothers' personalities very well. Seeing that the Da Wu and Xiao Wu brothers had come to their senses was a good thing.

Regardless of the Wu brothers' background, they were still considered useful talents at this time, slightly better than the average person. Rather than letting them recklessly fall into Yang Guo's hands and be tortured half to death, recognizing reality was a better way out.

"Rong'er".

With his gaze shifting from the group of younger people, Guo Jing said, "Let's choose an auspicious day to finalize the marriage between Guo'er and Fu'er."

Because Guo Jing didn't have much time left in Xiangyang.

"good!"

Huang Rong nodded, agreeing with Jing-gege's words. Since her daughter had taken the initiative to break the deadlock, she would solidify the marriage: "Jing-gege, I've checked, and the end of this month will be an auspicious day."

"Hmm." Guo Jing nodded upon hearing this. Since Rong'er said that the day was auspicious, then it must be an auspicious day.

Seemingly remembering something, Guo Jing hesitated before saying, "What about my father-in-law—"

"Brother Jing, leave all this to me. I will explain it to Father myself!" Huang Rong stopped Guo Jing from finishing his sentence. More than explaining, Huang Rong was worried that her father, Huang Yaoshi, would lose his temper and cause trouble for Jin Tong and Yu Nu.

It's not that I'm worried about the perfect couple, it's that I'm afraid something will happen to my father.

She figured she should wait until the golden boy and jade girl and the others had gone far away before finding an opportunity to tell her father.

As for Yang Guo and Guo Fu's wedding, Huang Rong would not invite the people from the Ancient Tomb.

They probably won't come, otherwise that day might have turned into a massive battle.

She didn't want her grand wedding to turn into a bloody one.

Moreover, the gift presented by the Golden Boy and Jade Girl on behalf of Yin Zhiping of the Quanzhen Sect already indicated that they wouldn't stay here for long.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing sighed and said, "Golden Boy has a firm will; ordinary methods cannot defeat him."

Guo Jing's eighteen consecutive moves of "Kanglong Youhui" were met with a loud laugh of "Kanglong Wuhui." He then realized that Yue Que, the Golden Boy, had his own path to follow. And it was something he had already decided long ago. The words of outsiders were probably just a joke to make him laugh.

Huang Rong nodded upon hearing this. Of course, she knew that ordinary methods would not be able to deal with the Golden Boy and Jade Girl, but that did not mean that Huang Rong would just grit her teeth and suffer such a great loss.

The matter of secretly instructing her master, Hong Qigong, was a small test of her abilities as a female strategist.

"By the way, Brother Jing."

Seemingly remembering something, Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing with tender affection, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "I want you to teach Yang Guo the Wumu Legacy—as well as the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."

Guo Jing was taken aback upon hearing this, his steps faltered, and he looked at Rong'er in surprise.

Huang Rong remained expressionless, simply gazing intently at her beloved Jing-gege.

After looking at each other for a long time, Guo Jing nodded and said, "Alright, Rong'er, I will teach Guo'er everything I know now."

Guo Jing understood what Rong'er meant by those words. You see, apart from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, she remembered the entire Wumu Legacy and the Nine Yin Manual very clearly.

Seeing Huang Rong lower her head, her face filled with sorrow, Guo Jing quickly reached out and took Rong'er's hand, indicating that this had nothing to do with her, and gently comforted her, "It's all for Fu'er, isn't it?"

"Besides, if my son can restore the glory of his ancestors and atone for his father's sins, that would be a happy thing."

"Hmm!"

Huang Rong lowered her head and gave a soft reply.

Guo Jing, however, did not see the change in Rong'er's expression at this moment. It was a kind of gritted teeth, a kind of resentment and helplessness under extreme circumstances.

Golden Boy Yue Que, so this is your way of controlling people with emotions?

Don't you have a conscience?

After being severely injured by Yue Que's schemes, how could the female strategist not try to learn his moves after failing to struggle?

Learning from the strong is a common sense principle.

During her studies, the female strategist also began experimenting, and her first target was her beloved Guo Jing.

She even sought the opinions of her master Ke Zhen'e and her master Hong Qigong right before starting the experiment. The two elders neither refused nor agreed.

Huang Rong was aware of her own scheme, and so was her beloved Jing-gege.

Jing-gege is just dull-witted, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

Because many things were now completely clear, even Guo Jing couldn't predict what the future would hold. Just like before, no matter what Guo Jing thought, he never imagined he would return to the desert and become the Golden Knife Prince Consort.

This is a cunning strategy that uses emotions to control people.

After finding the six horses, Yue Que and his group reunited at the outskirts of the Jian family compound.

As soon as they met, they began to recount their own experiences.

After integrating their respective intelligence, they were able to roughly determine the current situation faced by the group in the ancient tomb.

The first to speak was her senior martial aunt, Li Mochou. She gave a general account of her encounter with the Nine-Fingered Beggar Hong Qigong, especially the Beggar Clan's Dog-Beating Formation and the decision not to engage in any further combat.

The two disciples, Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, supplemented Li Mochou's words accordingly.

It was Yue Que's sudden appearance that allowed Hong Qigong to escape with his Beggar Clan disciples.

Next, Xiaolongnu recounted her encounter with Huang Rong, without hiding anything, even how her junior apprentice, Gongsun Lü'e, had obtained a jade bracelet from Huang Rong by using her status as a junior.

Of course, what Xiaolongnu didn't say was that she was very seriously observing and learning from Huang Rong's attire at the time.

After all, as Lady Guo's wife, she was a woman of great experience and someone that Xiaolongnü, a newcomer, needed to learn from.

When the topic turned to the young apprentice, everyone present looked at Gongsun Lü'e, who then raised her wrist with a shy smile, revealing the jade bracelet she was wearing.

"It seems that Hong Qigong and the Beggars' Clan have made the same decision as Uncle Yin Zhiping."

After listening to what Li Mochou and her two disciples had to say, Yue Que gave an affirmative answer, saying, "To be precise, this was not Hong Qigong's decision, but rather the action of Huang Rong, the female Zhuge Liang."

"She is adding leverage for her daughter, Guo Fu."

No one can be sure whether the future Guo Jing, the Golden Saber Horseman, will change.

In the past, Madam Guo would not have thought this way, but Yue Que set a good example for her, making Huang Rong start to doubt her life.

One incompetent legitimate daughter is not enough; none of those people will support her. Therefore, Yue Que only gave Huang Rong one choice from beginning to end: Yang Guo.

Choosing this option gives you a chance to win, while not choosing it means you'll suffer a huge loss.

"We won't lose!" It was Xiaolongnu who made the decisive statement, summarizing in a tone reminiscent of Queer: "What awaits us are only two outcomes: a small victory or a big victory."

Li Mochou picked up the conversation and said, "Then if something goes wrong in the end, the only one would be my junior brother Yang Guo."

"Oh!"

Yue Que simply chuckled at this.

Upon seeing this, Li Mochou knew that her junior disciple Yang Guo was still the same pitiful and aggrieved junior disciple.

More interested in the scenes of everyone meeting with each other's people than in this question, Yue Que felt that this must have been arranged by Huang Rong.

After all, there were those two white eagles flying in the sky.

Otherwise, if the Wu brothers were to run into Li Mochou, wouldn't they be doomed?

Guo Jing, the great hero, was responsible for cleaning up the mess; wherever there was a problem, he was moved there like a brick.

"Oh, right."

Yue Que suddenly clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention. He then announced with utmost seriousness, "Junior Brother Yang Guo has successfully broken his vow and can now graduate."

These words shocked even Gongsun Lü'e, the junior sister who had only recently joined the sect.

She certainly understood what this oath of the sect meant.

As for the matters among the people present, they were actually internal issues within the sect. That's why Yue Que and his group created the situation where a branch of the Ancient Tomb Sect would be established wherever they went.

That was a bug that Yue Que deliberately created.

Yang Guo's method, however, is the most orthodox way of breaking the oath and leaving the master, passed down by his master, Lin Chaoying.

He found the lover who was willing to give her life for him.

From the sect leader Xiaolongnu to the junior sister Gongsun Lü'e, everyone unanimously revealed envious eyes.
