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

Huang Rong suddenly opened her eyes. She heard her daughter scream. Without thinking, she put on her clothes and rushed out the door.

Because of Wang Jiuling's arrival, Guo Jing and Wang Jiuling talked until late into the night. In order not to disturb her rest, they slept in separate rooms.

Huang Rong strode quickly through the corridors, and just as she reached Guo Fu's room, she saw a black figure disappear around the corner.

"Who is it?"

Huang Rong felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before? But she didn't have time to think about it and rushed into her daughter's room.

At this moment, Guo Fu was slumped on the bed, her face pale with fright. When she saw Huang Rong come in, she rushed into her arms and tears fell down her cheeks.

"Mom! A bad guy is trying to kill me! Waaaaah!"

By this time, the servants had already arrived, and the lanterns in the courtyard were lit, breaking the tranquility of the Guo residence.

In a guest room in the side courtyard, Wang Jiuling was awakened from his sleep and noticed the commotion at the Guo residence. He then put on his shoes and clothes in the dark.

On this rainy day, my shoes are all damp and cold.

Wang Jiuling didn't care about that and went straight out the door.

Soon, everyone gathered in the front hall of the Guo residence.

"Senior brother! What exactly happened?" Wang Jiuling asked Guo Jing when he saw Guo Fu crying in Huang Rong's arms.

Guo Jing whispered to Wang Jiuling that a mysterious person had appeared in the middle of the night with a long sword, seemingly intending to kill Guo Fu, but was scared away by the servants and Huang Rong who arrived at the scene.

"How dare this man break into the Guo residence at night and commit murder!?" Wang Jiuling was very surprised.

At this moment, Huang Rong was quietly asking Guo Fu if she had seen the person's face clearly.

Guo Fu shook her head, crying.

"Waaaah... Mom, it's too dark, I couldn't see clearly!"

Guo Fu looked up and saw Wang Jiuling and Lu Qingdu arriving. She was so frightened that she shrank back and pointed at Wang Jiuling.

"Mother! It looks like him!"

With this gesture, everyone looked at Wang Jiuling in surprise. Wang Jiuling was also stunned for a moment, then looked behind him and saw that no one was there.

"This humble Taoist priest?" He pointed at himself in disbelief.

Huang Rong was surprised, while Guo Jing's expression stiffened. He glanced at Wang Jiuling first, then turned back, his face displeased. "Fu'er! Are you talking nonsense?"

Guo Fu cried even harder at this moment. She shook her head again and then pointed to Lu Qingdu and other fourth-generation disciples of Quanzhen.

"It looks a bit like him! And them too! Waaah, I can't remember! It was too dark to see clearly!"

"Anyway...anyway, they're just like these Taoist priests!"

The atmosphere in the front hall relaxed, and Guo Jing sighed, thinking to himself that his daughter was spoiled and that she was probably throwing a tantrum because of what happened during the day, which affected her judgment.

Wang Jiuling and the others shook their heads helplessly.

Only Huang Rong's expression changed slightly as she secretly watched Wang Jiuling and the others, her brows furrowing slightly.

But he didn't say much more.

"Senior brother! Has the Guo family or Miss Guo offended anyone recently?"

"But when I walked the streets during the day, I saw that the people were very grateful for my senior brother's merit in defending the city, and the Guo family had an excellent reputation. How could this be?"

The group sat down, and Wang Jiuling pondered while asking Guo Jing questions.

Guo Jing was also completely baffled and somewhat angry.

"The sins of the innocent should not be visited upon family members. If Guo has any enemies in Xiangyang these past years, they should be targeting me. This villain has actually set his sights on my daughter..."

He turned to look at Guo Fu again.

"Fu'er, I've been busy with military affairs lately and haven't been able to discipline you properly. Have you gotten into trouble again and offended someone?"

Guo Jing knew Guo Fu's personality all too well.

"Father! I didn't!" Guo Fu was extremely aggrieved at this moment. Seeing this, Wang Jiuling quickly spoke up.

"Senior brother, she's probably terrified tonight. It's not advisable to ask her any more questions. Give her some time; perhaps she can recall some crucial clues."

Huang Rong gave Guo Jing a reproachful look.

"Brother Jing, Master Wang is right. Let me take Fu'er to rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning!"

Guo Jing sighed and nodded. Huang Rong nodded to Wang Jiuling and left with Guo Fu.

At this moment, Wang Jiuling turned around and noticed that Lu Qingdu was looking down at something.

This guy has a weird expression.

"Qingdu, what are you daydreaming about?"

When Wang Jiuling spoke, Lu Qingdu was startled. His face turned pale and his eyes flickered.

"Oh... Uncle-Master, I was thinking that the thief who dared to break into the Guo residence must be quite skilled in martial arts and not easy to deal with!"

Wang Jiuling nodded, then frowned and looked at Guo Jing beside him.

The straightforward Guo Jing did not notice Lu Qingdu's actions. He gazed at the night sky outside the door, pondering clues.

"Uncle-Master! How about this, I'll take Qingyuan and the others to look for clues. Maybe we'll find something?"

Lu Qingdu volunteered, and after thinking about it, Wang Jiuling let him go.

After such an incident, Guo Jing naturally couldn't sleep, so he went to see Guo Fu and Huang Rong again.

Wang Jiuling couldn't sleep either, so he drank tea in the front hall and analyzed the matter alone.

In the side room.

Guo Fu was terrified and had already fallen into a deep sleep. Huang Rong wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel, covered her with a blanket, and turned to look at Guo Jing.

The two sat down in the outer room. There were only the two of them there, and Huang Rong spoke frankly.

"Brother Jing, I'm wondering if what Fu'er said is true..."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing asked, "Rong'er, are you saying that person is really one of my junior brothers?"

"No, no, no! This is impossible! How could Junior Brother do such a thing?"

Huang Rong shook her head.

"Brother Jing, of course I trust Master Wang, but as the saying goes, one should always be wary of others. Besides, even if Master Wang is trustworthy, we don't know anything about his fourth-generation disciples..."

Huang Rong suggested that she investigate, but Guo Jing flatly refused. Seeing this, Huang Rong did not insist.

"Brother Jing! Something just occurred to me. What if that thief really was at the Guo residence..."

According to Fu'er, he stood outside the door for a long time. Were his shoes and robes soaked with rainwater?

"If Brother Jing doesn't want to suspect Master Wang and the others, there's no need to rush into a detailed investigation. We can observe their shoes and the hem of their clothes; that would be polite enough!"

Guo Jing was eventually persuaded by Huang Rong.

"This...sigh!"

"Alright! But Rong'er, we must keep this a secret from them, and absolutely not let our junior brother find out!"

Soon, Guo Jing arranged for his personal guards to patrol outside the courtyard, and then went to the front hall with him.

They happened to run into Lu Qingdu, who was returning with the other fourth-generation disciples.

As the group talked, Huang Rong's eyes swept over the shoes and hems of Wang Jiuling and the others, and her heart sank.

She immediately noticed that the shoes of Lu Qingdu and the other fourth-generation disciples were very wet, and there were obvious water stains on the corners of their clothes.

She then examined Wang Jiuling's shoes.

In the end, nothing was discovered.

Later, during the conversation, I casually asked and learned that Lu Qingdu had just led a group to look for clues.

This directly explains why their shoes and the hems of their clothes were so wet.

However, the way she looked at Lu Qingdu and the others had changed...

Go looking for clues? What a coincidence!
