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

This time, Xiaolongnu was truly terrified when she drove Yang Guo away. She even left the Ancient Tomb because of this, and she suffered countless hardships along the way.

Upon hearing that Yang Guo wanted to marry Guo Fu, she, though not understanding the concepts of love and romance, was unwilling to accept it.

All she knew was that if Yang Guo married Guo Fu, he wouldn't be able to be with her forever.

So he immediately looked at Guo Jing, ready to say something.

Wang Jiuling frowned. Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly spoke first.

"Sect Leader Long!"

Just as Xiaolongnu was about to say something, she was interrupted by Wang Jiuling and turned to look at him.

Wang Jiuling cupped his hands in greeting.

"This humble Taoist priest must express his gratitude for your care of Yang Guo this year!"

"I'm sure you're also concerned about Yang Guo's marriage, but I assure you, I will definitely seek his opinion!"

As he spoke, Wang Jiuling looked at Yang Guo.

Yang Guo only then realized what was happening, and he quickly nodded with a smile.

"Auntie, my master is the most righteous and principled person! You can rest assured!"

Looking into Yang Guo's eyes, Xiaolongnu felt a sudden sense of relief.

"good!"

It was just a single word, but it brought Wang Jiuling a sigh of relief.

This matter has finally been suppressed.

After dinner, on the streets of the city.

"Master! So you saw through my relationship with my aunt all along..."

"I definitely didn't tell you!"

Yang Guo scratched his head, completely bewildered. Wang Jiuling stood with his hands behind his back. "Your master will always be your master."

He then turned to look at Yang Guo. "I know what you're thinking, but if I don't step forward today, things will inevitably get ugly."

Yang Guo nodded. If he were allowed to do as he pleased, he would have refused outright today.

"Yang Guo, even if you don't like Guo Fu or this marriage, it doesn't matter. I won't interfere in your relationship with Headmaster Long."

"Just remember not to make things difficult for your Uncle Guo."

"Tomorrow, I'll go with you, and we'll talk to him and get things cleared up!"

Yang Guo nodded deeply.

He was truly moved today.

Uncle Guo publicly betrothed Guo Fu to him; this was truly a good thing for him.

Yang Guo actually knows everything.

He no longer felt conflicted about Guo Jing's refusal to visit him at Zhongnan Mountain.

He increasingly understood what his master meant when he said not to approach problems with the expectation of answers.

"By the way, Master, when will you teach me your superior martial arts?"

"Your palm technique was so powerful that it utterly defeated that old bald monk Jinlun!"

Master! I've been practicing what you taught me diligently lately!

Yang Guo perked up again at the mention of this.

Wang Jiuling looked at him with a smile. The fact that Yang Guo was able to hold back from directly refuting Guo Jing's marriage arrangements at this crucial moment showed that his character had truly improved.

The kid did listen to him.

Moreover, he is grateful and always considers his master's feelings.

"Want to learn?"

"Of course I want to learn!"

Wang Jiuling nodded, but his expression began to turn serious.

Give me the money you have on you.

"Huh?" Yang Guo was surprised, but still handed the money pouch to Wang Jiuling. "Master, are you going to the night market?"

Wang Jiuling took the money bag and shook his head.

He pointed to the bustling night market ahead, holding up one finger. (The Song Dynasty was a culturally advanced period, and curfews were quite lax; in some prosperous areas, night markets could even operate all night long, directly connecting to the morning market.)

"I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Figure out a way to get twenty taels of silver as tuition."

"If you can do it, I will teach you advanced martial arts; if you can't, then forget it."

Yang Guo opened his mouth in surprise, looking towards the night market, then at Wang Jiuling.

"Master! This...this much money, where am I supposed to get it from?!"

Twenty taels of silver was equivalent to two years' living expenses for an average farming family at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This is no small amount of money.

"How you do it is your problem."

Wang Jiuling smiled, giving Yang Guo no chance to think. "Also, surprise counts as time!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo ran towards the night market without looking back.

"Master, wait for me!"

Wang Jiuling watched Yang Guo's retreating figure with a smile, then walked to a fortune-telling stall with his hands behind his back and took out Yang Guo's money bag.

"Please trouble you to tell my fortune!"

Money is not a problem!

...

Yang Guo rushed into the night market, scratching his head in frustration.

Twenty taels!

That's way too much! And you need it so urgently!

Yang Guo's first thought was to solve riddles.

But after going around in circles, he realized it was too late.

When people solve riddles, they either give gifts or a small bonus.

Besides, even if he won the whole stall, it wouldn't be worth twenty taels!

How about we try our luck at a gambling den?

But when he touched his body, he found that his master had taken all his money.

Oh no, what do we do now?

In the end, Yang Guo decided to first try his hand at solving riddles, hoping to save up some money before going to try his luck at the gambling stalls where people guessed high or low.

...

"I say, Master! I can tell you're no ordinary person. I'm afraid I can't calculate it well. Why don't you try other stalls?"

At the stall, the fake Taoist priest who was telling fortunes looked at Wang Jiuling in front of him and recognized his Quanzhen Sect attire at a glance, feeling somewhat guilty.

He secretly cursed himself for being unlucky.

He was afraid the other party was there to cause trouble and expose his true colors.

"If that doesn't work... you can calculate it yourself?" He pushed the copper coins and tortoise shell to Wang Jiuling.

Wang Jiuling frowned. "If I could calculate it myself, why would I need you?"

He then placed a small piece of silver on the stall.

"I'll add more money, calculate quickly!"

"Uh... alright then!" The fake Taoist priest sighed, picked up the copper coin, and shook it with the tortoise shell for a long time.

"Oh dear! Daoist Master, you are probably not from this world!"

"Oh? That's interesting! Go on! I'm listening!"

"It seems you'll have to go back to your original world in the future!"

"Is that so? Please enlighten me, sir! I'll add more money!"

"Hey! Daoist Master, you're the Martial Star descended from Heaven! You'll eventually return to Heaven!"

"......"

"Hmph! Shameless scoundrel! Utterly spouting nonsense! You're here to swindle people out of their money! And you dare to try and deceive this humble Taoist priest?"

So the fortune-telling stall was overturned by a righteous Taoist priest...

...

"One, two, five! Small!"

"Congratulations, gentlemen, you guessed correctly! Please take your money!"

Yang Guo left the gambling stall and counted the silver and copper coins he had just won.

"This isn't enough!"

Yang Guo looked worried, realizing that about half of the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed.

But he had very little money, and even at the most profitable gambling den, he probably didn't have enough time.

What should we do?

If you don't have enough money, you can't learn your master's martial arts.

Yang Guo couldn't help but have wicked thoughts.

If the normal methods don't work, how about trying some unconventional methods?

He spent his childhood in the streets and alleys, so he knew a little about unorthodox ways.

For example, the skills of a pickpocket.

Yang Guo looked around and saw many wealthy people passing by.

With his martial arts skills, if he did that, money shouldn't be a problem.

Should we do it this way?
