Yang Guo, who was walking halfway, was stopped by Lu Qingdu and several other fourth-generation disciples.

"Hey kid! Where are you going? Don't you know how to greet your senior brother?"

Several men surrounded Yang Guo, looking fierce and menacing.

It turned out that Zhao Zhijing had suffered a loss that day, but he couldn't afford to offend Guo Jing. Wang Jiuling, on the other hand, lived a secluded life, possessed considerable martial arts skills, and was deeply trusted by the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

Not wanting to cause trouble openly, Zhao Zhijing turned his attention to Yang Guo and sent his disciples to bully him.

Yang Guo was surrounded and knew things were going badly.

Having grown up on the streets, he could naturally tell that Lu Qingdu and the others were deliberately trying to cause trouble.

"I... I just came from over there, how could I possibly see you right away!"

Yang Guo had been fuming these past few days, and as a young man, he couldn't stand being bullied, so he didn't speak kindly at the moment.

But this gave Lu Qingdu an opportunity, and he glared at him:

"Fine! Not only do you not greet your senior brother, but you also dare to talk back!"

He shoved Yang Guo, causing Yang Guo to stumble.

Then the fourth-generation disciples surrounding him caught him and pushed him back.

"you!"

Yang Guo was surrounded and pushed around. "How dare you talk back?!"

Yang Guo was pushed around so hard he was dizzy. Suddenly, a disciple stepped aside, but this time he didn't catch Yang Guo, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Lu Qingdu and the others burst into laughter.

Enraged, Yang Guo got up and roared as he charged toward Lu Qingdu, trying to grab the other man's waist.

This move is commonly used to deal with thugs on the street, but Lu Qingdu knew martial arts. He dodged and kicked Yang Guo to the ground.

"Damn it! You dare to lay a hand on your senior brother?!"

Lu Qingdu was surprised by Yang Guo's courage and became interested, calling on everyone to go up and beat him up.

Yang Guo was utterly despondent at this moment.

He didn't understand why Uncle Guo had sent him to Quanzhen. Was it just so he could be bullied?

Just as the fist was about to land on Yang Guo, a cold voice rang out from behind.

"Is it fun to bully your junior brother?"

Lu Qingdu and the others were startled and hurriedly turned around, their faces changing drastically in fright.

The visitor was none other than Wang Jiuling.

"Uncle-Master Jiuling?"

They hurriedly and respectfully stood there and bowed to Wang Jiuling.

Wang Jiuling stood with his hands behind his back and squinted. He ignored Lu Qingdu and the others and walked to Yang Guo's side first.

"Stand up!"

Yang Guo's chest heaved violently, and he stood up without saying a word.

"Uncle-Master! This kid..."

Did I ask you?

Lu Qingdu was about to speak when he sensed the situation was turning bad, but was quickly silenced by a glare from Wang Jiuling.

Lu Qingdu was so frightened that he dared not speak.

This junior uncle in front of me is no easy opponent.

He easily injured Wang Zhilin, fought fiercely against the Mongol prince Huo Du at Chongyang Palace, and even killed someone on the spot. He was a ruthless person.

Wang Jiuling looked at Yang Guo again.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Yang Guo remained silent, sulking, because he didn't think Wang Jiuling would stand up for him.

Seeing that he didn't react, Wang Jiuling spoke directly:

"What? Are you a piece of trash, so weak you don't even have the courage to speak?"

These words finally made Yang Guo raise his head. "They bullied me!"

He said that one sentence briefly, and then fell silent, clearly still sulking.

Wang Jiuling looked at Lu Qingdu.

"you say!"

Lu Qingdu was not like Yang Guo, who was a silent man; he directly spoke up and distorted the truth.

In short, it means that Yang Guo disrespected his senior brother and even hit him.

"Uncle-Master! That's right! We didn't bully him!"

Yang Guo was furious. "You!"

Wang Jiuling turned around, frowning. "What? Are you going to go up and hit him now? And then what? And then you'll never have a chance to explain yourself again!?"

Yang Guo had indeed been thinking that way, but when Wang Jiuling pointed it out, he was stunned. Wang Jiuling then spoke:

"I'm giving you one last chance. Explain everything to me clearly. If you still refuse to talk out of spite, I won't ask you another question!"

"tell me!"

This was the first lesson Wang Jiuling taught Yang Guo:

If you are bullied, don't act impulsively. If you only know how to sulk and don't try to find out the truth, then when you cause trouble in a moment of impulsiveness, you won't even have a chance to explain yourself.

Perhaps provoked, Yang Guo finally spoke up and poured out everything like beans.

"I came from that side, how could I possibly have seen them right away? And with so many of them, why would I go and attack them?!"

Yang Guo's face turned red with anger, but at least he managed to make things clear.

But after he finished speaking, he regretted it.

What's the point of saying anything? Wang Jiuling won't stand up for him at all!

He recalled his experience on Peach Blossom Island, where he was in the same situation, bullied but unable to speak out, and even if he did, probably no one would believe him.

Isn't that how it is when you're living under someone else's roof?

Unexpectedly, after listening, Wang Jiuling turned to look at Lu Qingdu and the others, his voice turning cold.

"According to you, Yang Guo would need to know where you are beforehand before he dares to fight all of you alone?"

Lu Qingdu lowered his head and muttered, "Uncle-Master, maybe this kid really does dare?"

Wang Jiuling walked up to him and spoke with a smile.

"Alright! I've heard there's a band of bandits down the mountain recently. I'm sending you alone to deal with them!"

Lu Qingdu looked up, not understanding what Wang Jiuling meant, but instinctively said:

"Uncle-Master! How could I possibly defeat him alone... Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Jiuling kicked him, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

"You wouldn't even dare to deal with a few ordinary bandits, so do you think Yang Guo, a mere teenager, would be stupid enough to take on a whole group of you by himself?"

"Or do you think I'm as stupid as you, that I'd believe such nonsense?!"

Lu Qingdu, who had fallen to the ground, was rendered speechless by the insults. Then, Wang Jiuling kicked each of the fourth-generation disciples.

"roll!"

Lu Qingdu and his men slunk away.

Yang Guo, standing behind them, was completely stunned.

For the first time, he didn't have to feign pitifulness, scheme, or play mind games. He simply told the truth, and someone stood up for him.

This was nothing short of a miracle in Yang Guo's worldview.

For a moment, Yang Guo didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until Wang Jiuling led him back that he spoke in disbelief.

"Why...why are you willing to help me?"

These words elicited a strange expression from Wang Jiuling.

"What's wrong with you? I'm your master, and you haven't done anything wrong, so why shouldn't I help you?"

This simple truth seemed incredible to Yang Guo.

Is this still the Quanzhen he knows?

Just as Wang Jiuling brought Yang Guo back to Yang Guo's residence, before they even had a chance to enter, they heard Zhao Zhijing's voice coming from afar.

"Rebellion! Rebellion!"
