The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

Dasheng Pass, Lujiazhuang.

Today is the day the Heroes' Gathering is being held.

"Senior Brother Zhen, it's been a long time since we last met at Chongyang Palace!"

Guo Jing clasped his hands in greeting to Zhen Zhibing, inwardly marveling at how Zhen Zhibing had become even more refined and scholarly after not seeing him for several years, truly possessing the bearing of a future sect leader.

They then asked why Wang Jiuling hadn't arrived, and after Zhen Zhibing recounted what had happened on their journey, they learned the truth.

"Junior Brother Jiuling let us arrive first, and he should be joining the conference soon, so Master Guo need not worry!"

"Ouyang Feng..."

Guo Jing marveled at his junior brother's martial arts skills, noting that he could actually exchange a hundred blows with Ouyang Feng.

In the crowd not far away.

Yang Guo peeked around curiously.

He still came to the Heroes' Gathering.

After leaving that day, he searched for Ouyang Feng for a long time, but could not find him.

Even though their hearts were intertwined, seeing that the Heroes' Gathering was about to begin, he remembered his master's instructions and came to the Heroes' Gathering first.

Although he trusted his master, he still harbored some resentment towards Guo Jing for not visiting him for several years. He thought to himself: "Master said that Uncle Guo is usually too busy to visit me. I want to see if he really cares about me."

At that moment, Guo Jing was talking about Yang Guo.

"Senior Brother Zhen, Guo'er has caused trouble for the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain. As his uncle, I should apologize on his behalf!"

Yang Guo watched as Guo Jing bowed to Zhen Zhibing and the others, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he finally stepped forward.

"Uncle Guo!"

This sound made Guo Jing turn around in surprise, and he saw Yang Guo, whom he had been longing for, standing there, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Guo'er! You really came!"

"Guo'er!"

Guo Jing was initially surprised, but soon became overjoyed as he looked at Yang Guo's features.

Even though I've grown up, I'm still the same.

He grabbed Yang Guo and hugged him tightly. Yang Guo wanted to break free, but hesitated for a moment and then didn't.

Approaching a problem with an answer in mind is not a good habit.

Yang Guo still remembered what Wang Jiuling had told him.

He has to figure out for himself whether it's right or wrong.

He held Guo Jing in his arms, then his eyes met those of the surprised Huang Rong, but he quickly looked away. Huang Rong's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.

At this moment, Lu Qingdu and the others' expressions changed.

"Yang Guo? You still have the nerve to come to the Heroes' Gathering?" Lu Qingdu clutched his chest.

His injuries haven't fully healed yet, all thanks to Yang Guo.

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhen Zhibing knew that if a conflict arose, it would put his junior brother Jiuling in a difficult position.

So he grabbed Lu Qingdu's hand and shook his head.

Lu Qingdu, who had been furious, calmed down considerably when he thought of his martial uncle. He snorted and retreated.

Huang Rong also sensed that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, Guo Jing, being an honest man, didn't notice anything wrong. He just paused for a moment, then pulled Yang Guo along.

"Guo'er, why don't you come and pay your respects to your Uncle-Master Zhen and all your fellow disciples?"

Yang Guo would never agree to that.

He turned his head. "I only acknowledge my master! And I will only worship my master!"

"I don't acknowledge them!"

This immediately angered Guo Jing, who was incredibly rigid when it came to rules, and he immediately blamed Yang Guo for not understanding them.

Yang Guo's temper flared up as well.

He embellished the story, recounting how Lu Qingdu had bullied him in the past.

This was also what Wang Jiuling taught him: speak your mind, say what's right, and don't hold back.

I actually came in handy today.

"That day, Zhao Zhijing had a conflict with Uncle Guo in front of the mountain gate, and he took his anger out on me, instigating many people to bully me!"

"If it weren't for my master's protection, I probably wouldn't have survived in the Quanzhen Sect at all!"

"They don't distinguish right from wrong, and no one is willing to help me!"

"Only my master taught me martial arts and the principles of being a good person. Apart from him, who else in Quanzhen has fulfilled their responsibilities to me like my master?"

If I were to worship them as if they were my master, wouldn't that be an insult to my master?

This is an act of betraying one's master and ancestors! Uncle Guo, you might as well just kill me!

Yang Guo was clever. He spoke up and was in the right. He also wanted to take the opportunity to test how important he was to Guo Jing.

Sure enough, would Guo Jing really hit Yang Guo for this reason?

He was both shocked and incredulous.

In this day and age, it's perfectly normal for masters and elders to beat their disciples, but beating and malicious bullying are two different things.

Disciples have their own set of virtues to uphold, and so should masters and senior disciples.

Looking into Guo Jing's eyes, Lu Qingdu felt guilty.

If it weren't for Wang Jiuling, but Zhao Zhijing instead, Lu Qingdu would absolutely not acknowledge him.

The saying goes, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked too."

Lu Qingdu had followed Wang Jiuling for a long time, and he knew that if he admitted his mistake, Wang Jiuling wouldn't do anything to him; on the contrary, he would think more highly of him.

If he refuses to admit his mistakes, then his martial uncle will have to teach him a lesson.

So he lowered his head and remained silent.

The attitude is already very clear.

Yang Guo was surprised that Lu Qingdu would actually bow his head like that, and couldn't help but feel that this guy had chosen the right person to follow.

"this..."

Guo Jing looked at Zhen Zhibing, then at Yang Guo, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

You said your son doesn't respect his elders, but he respects his master so much, so what you said makes sense.

I've said my son is sensible, but this is too impulsive.

As Zhen Zhibing watched this scene, he thought to himself: If Junior Brother Jiuling were here, he would surely be clear about right and wrong. I should learn from him.

So he sighed, stepped forward, stood in front of Lu Qingdu, and bowed to Guo Jing.

"Yang Guo was bullied in Quanzhen, but I was partly to blame. I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as his senior uncle."

He didn't want to call me "Uncle-Master" because he respected Junior Brother Jiuling's kindness in teaching him. This wasn't disrespect for an elder; on the contrary, it was a great act of kindness!

He apologized to Guo Jing, who was Yang Guo's elder.

In this way, he demonstrated the magnanimity of Quanzhen, while also showing full respect for Guo Jing, without losing face by directly apologizing to a junior.

It was handled very well, giving everyone a way out.

Yang Guo was the type of person who responded better to gentle persuasion than force. Seeing that the Quanzhen disciples were being friendly, he refrained from further teasing.

He thought to himself: I exposed their shortcomings in public, and they admitted it in public. In this way, I vented my anger. If I keep holding on to it, it will put my master in a difficult position.

Thus, although there is still some distance between the two sides, they cannot be considered enemies.

Finally, Huang Rong stepped forward and said a few words, which eased the tension.

Huang Rong was also somewhat surprised.

It's unbelievable that Yang Guo, who was extremely guarded a few years ago and wouldn't speak up even when wronged, can now suppress his temper and reason with people.

Although his words were a bit impulsive, they were all reasonable, leaving the rule-abiding Guo Jing speechless.

That's more like it. If you try to reason with an unreasonable person or argue with a reasonable person, you'll only end up getting upset.

What a wise and effective Taoist priest! He has a truly effective way of teaching his disciples...

The others got up to rest elsewhere, leaving only Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Yang Guo.

Guo Jing's eyes reddened, and he held Yang Guo tightly in his arms, repeatedly saying that he was the one who was wrong.

This melted away much of the resentment in Yang Guo's heart.

Huang Rong watched this scene with emotion, and seeing people coming and going outside the door, she spoke.

"Brother Jing! I think most of the people have arrived; the assembly should begin as soon as possible!"

The personal matter is now settled.

Soon, under the guidance of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the heroes' gathering officially began.

Huang Rong successfully passed the position of Beggar Clan leader to Lu Youjiao.

She is currently six months pregnant and is no longer suitable to be the gang leader.

After the succession was completed, Guo Jing and Huang Rong publicly called on everyone to jointly elect Master Hong Qigong as the leader of the martial arts world.

Hong Qigong's reputation for chivalry is known throughout the world, even though he himself is not present at this grand gathering.

However, many martial arts practitioners disagreed and responded enthusiastically.

Yang Guo called out a few times from the crowd, and when he turned around, he saw a figure in white gracefully land on the roof.

He was stunned for a moment.

Then, disregarding the excitement, he squeezed through the crowd and headed in that direction.

Guo Jing turned around and found that Yang Guo was gone. Just as he was about to say something, a sudden change occurred.

A voice, imbued with internal force, echoed from the main entrance and reverberated throughout the venue.

"Martial Arts Alliance Leader? Ha! Apart from my master, no one is worthy of this position!"

Guo Jing and Huang Rong's expressions immediately changed.
