Chapter 3

"Next, number 14!"

The glass door opened again, and the girl who had been groped by Hao Xue rushed out, heading straight for Hao Xue with an unfriendly expression.

"It's all your fault! You made me dirty and talked nonsense, making me nervous and messing up my interview!"

The girl walked up to Hao Xue, her face full of frustration.

But Hao Xue was too preoccupied to pay attention to her. This was about Xiaolongnü's chastity; her little interview was nothing in comparison.

The girl, already angry, saw that Hao Xue was staring at his phone and completely ignoring her. She became even more furious, raised her hand, snatched the phone, and hung up the call, raising her voice.

"You don't even know basic manners, and you're applying to Huatian Pharmaceutical Group?"

"What are you doing?"

Hao Xue was listening intently to the other side of the call, seemingly hearing Yin Zhiping's panicked screams. Suddenly, the call was cut off, and he stood up in a hurry, snatched back the phone, glared at the girl, and walked away.

"You..."

The girl had a delicate, doll-like face and E-cup breasts, the kind of girl men dream of. She had been popular throughout her four years in college. When had she ever been spoken to so harshly by a peer?

Moreover, this despicable man had taken advantage of her and then turned cold and indifferent. It was outrageous!

She subconsciously followed him a few steps, but the man suddenly stopped, causing her to nearly collide with him again.

"Do you want to collide again?"

Hao Xue glanced at her chest, coldly said, and then quickly turned and left.

"You... pervert!!"

The girl's face turned pale with anger. She shouted behind Hao Xue, "With your attitude, you'll never get into Huatian Pharmaceutical Group, even if I write my name backward!"

Hao Xue paid no attention, completely ignoring the interview. He found a restroom and locked himself inside.

Unbeknownst to him, in another world, Yang Guo had already found the place where his aunt, Xiaolongnü, had been incapacitated by her adoptive father.

Who is that?!

Yang Guo's pupils dilated as he saw, under the moonlight, his aunt in a white dress, with a dark figure sprawled on her. Her Daoist robe was still on, but her lower garments were off, exposing her white thighs as the figure groped her.

"Scoundrel, how dare you!"

Yang Guo's eyes blazed with fury. He never imagined that in the secluded back of Zhongnan Mountain, there would be a villain from the Quanzhen Sect attempting to defile his goddess-like aunt.

Ah?

Yin Zhiping, trembling with excitement, was so focused on the beautiful and pure girl beneath him that he had forgotten everything else, including the Quanzhen Sect's founder and even the Taoist deity Laozi. He only wanted to spend the night with her, and even if he died afterward, it would be worth it!

But just as he was about to act, Yang Guo's shout startled him, and he immediately lost his nerve. He quickly pulled up his pants and fled.

In terms of martial arts, Yin Zhiping, as an elite disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, should have been stronger than Yang Guo at this point. However, feeling guilty for his actions, he dared not face Yang Guo.

Yang Guo, worried about his aunt, glared at Yin Zhiping's retreating back but did not chase after him.

"What's wrong, my dear child?"

Ouyang Feng arrived, saw Yang Guo's eyes blazing with anger, and promptly released Xiaolongnü from her acupressure points.

"Adoptive father, go and kill that man for me!"

Yang Guo pointed at Yin Zhiping's retreating figure, his voice icy.

Ouyang Feng frowned. "He's run far. The Chongyang Palace is ahead, and it's not convenient to storm it."

"It's all your fault!"

Yang Guo, filled with hatred for Yin Zhiping, said, "He almost committed a great wrong!"

Ouyang Feng, practicing the reverse Nine Yin Manual, was already somewhat deranged. Hearing this, his madness flared up, and he muttered gibberish, waving his hands and feet as he descended the mountain.

Yang Guo naturally took Xiaolongnü's delicate hand and sat down beside her under a large tree.

"Guo'er, is the great master you spoke of really near Zhongnan Mountain?"

Xiaolongnü had tried the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra several times but could not sense anyone nearby. She became even more respectful of the mysterious master Yang Guo had mentioned.

If it weren't for his warning, I might have...

Thinking of this, Xiaolongnü felt deep fear and unconsciously tightened her grip on Yang Guo's hand. This incident had broken the last barrier between them, and they would now walk the martial path together without any obstacles.

All of this was thanks to the mysterious master, but no matter how they called out, there was no response.

"Perhaps he's gone..."

Yang Guo sighed. "Such a martial arts master is like a dragon, seen but not fully revealed. It's already a rare blessing to have received his guidance and avoided a disaster. We shouldn't expect too much."

"That Yin Zhiping, a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, who usually appears so virtuous, could do such a despicable thing! I regret that my martial arts are not yet complete, or I would have killed him on the spot!"

Yang Guo, having studied at Chongyang Palace for several years, recognized Yin Zhiping from his back. Thinking of the scene, he gritted his teeth in anger. However, with Yin Zhiping now in Chongyang Palace, even if he reported to Qiu Chuji, it would be hard to gain anyone's trust.

"Guo'er, what's that dirty stuff on your mouth? Even your teeth are blue!"

Xiaolongnü, leaning against Yang Guo, felt immense joy and looked at him shyly. She then stood up, smiling, and playfully tapped his forehead.

Yang Guo, not minding, laughed. "I was practicing the Toad Technique with my adoptive father and must have put some grass in my mouth."

"Here, rinse your mouth with this."

Xiaolongnü, looking at Yang Guo with affection, took out a porcelain bottle containing jade bee jelly and handed it to him.

"Ding... Ding..."

Hao Xue, hiding in the restroom, hadn't even taken out his phone when it started ringing.

Is it a text message? Hao Xue smiled bitterly. He hadn't fully processed the phone call with Yang Guo, and now Yang Guo was sending him a text?

I should probably see a psychiatrist...

Hao Xue, with a blank expression, took out his phone. A new message indeed appeared on the screen, but it was a system message.

"Yang Guo has sent you a bottle of jade bee jelly. Do you want to accept it?"

Jade bee jelly?

What a treasure!

Hao Xue, gradually accepting his condition, thought, "It's okay. Mental illness is preventable, controllable, and treatable. As long as I find the right expert and don't give up on treatment, I might recover!"

It's just a bottle of jade bee jelly. I'll accept it!

A second later, Hao Xue looked at the fine white porcelain bottle in his hand, feeling its smoothness, and swallowed hard.

Damn... it's real?

Hao Xue unscrewed the cap, and a sweet aroma he had never experienced before filled his senses. Just from the smell, he felt energized and refreshed!

Even the best royal jelly from Huatian Pharmaceutical couldn't have such an effect.

Hao Xue stared at the jade bee jelly in his hand, finally confirming that he had indeed spoken to Yang Guo and that items could be transmitted across dimensions.

I'm rich!

Once he confirmed this, Hao Xue immediately realized the infinite possibilities!

What's a bottle of jade bee jelly? If he could connect with Yang Guo, then the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, the Heavenly Web and Earthly Net Palm, and even the Black Iron Sword would be within reach.

Thinking further, beyond the world of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," how many martial arts manuals and treasures awaited him?

Not to mention, a chicken from that era, free from any pollution, would be a rare delicacy in modern times!

"Um, Little Yang, did you save your aunt?"

Hao Xue had become more confident because he saw in his status bar that Yang Guo's number had changed to "Yang Guo, back of Zhongnan Mountain, with Xiaolongnü."

Wow, the wording is quite vivid.

Since Yang Guo had saved Xiaolongnü because of his warning, Hao Xue, as the benefactor of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," decided to be a bit reserved.

Yang Guo, who was being intimate with Xiaolongnü, was surprised to find the jade bee jelly suddenly disappear and then heard the familiar voice again. He straightened up and looked around.

In the deep night of Zhongnan Mountain, the moonlight only revealed swaying tree shadows, with no sign of anyone.

But Yang Guo did not dare to be disrespectful. He respectfully knelt down, considering himself a junior.

"Great master, you saved my wife and me from great danger! Your kindness is immeasurable, and I, Yang Guo, bow to you in gratitude!"

Xiaolongnü, startled, also realized that the great master who had saved her dignity had reappeared. Feeling no trace of his presence, she was shocked and quickly knelt beside Yang Guo, showing great respect.

Ha!

Hao Xue was elated. This was something he could brag about for the rest of his life! Even the wealthiest merchants and most powerful leaders had never received the bow of "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

As a lifelong martial arts enthusiast, Hao Xue had almost joined a martial arts school in his youth but was dragged back by his father, eventually enrolling in a second-tier medical school.

Although he didn't attend the martial arts school, Hao Xue never lost his passion for the spirit of justice and righteousness. In modern society, where literature is valued over martial arts, where was the opportunity to show his skills or learn true martial arts?

Those martial arts schools advertised on TV?

Don't be silly. As an adult, Hao Xue realized his father hadn't misled him. In an era where even the abbot of Shaolin Temple was corrupt, what could he learn from these scoundrels?

But now, everything was different!

If jade bee jelly could be transmitted across dimensions, what was a few martial arts manuals?

However, Yang Guo, though later known as the "Western Eccentric" for his prowess with the Black Iron Sword, was still a young man just out of the Ancient Tomb. He had learned some of the Nine Yin Manual but not the complete version.

As for the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra...

I, Hao Xue, a man of... uh, five feet... well, whatever height, couldn't practice a woman's technique.

Since he had the phone, he would practice the best techniques. He would call Little Guo and ask for the complete Nine Yin Manual!
