Chapter 73

Hearing Wang Chuyi admit his identity, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Wang Chuyi, a top expert of the Quanzhen Sect, was second only to Qiu Chuji in fame in the martial world. Especially after he had just displayed his skills, his martial arts were indeed terrifying. Although Ouyang Ke and others did not think they were inferior to him, they had no confidence of a sure victory!

Wang Chuyi put Guo Jing down, looked at him with satisfaction, and then angrily said to Su Yi, "Kang'er! How could you stand by and watch your junior brother being surrounded and attacked? Has Master Qiu not taught you that all Quanzhen disciples must live in harmony and stand together in times of need?"

He had misunderstood Guo Jing as a Quanzhen disciple.

After all, the *Xiantian Gong* that Guo Jing practiced and the Quanzhen Heart Method he used to build his foundation were both from the Quanzhen Sect. Wang Chuyi's discernment was so sharp that although he could not recognize the *Xiantian Gong*, he could not fail to recognize the Quanzhen Heart Method. In his heart, he had already assumed that Guo Jing was a disciple whom one of his fellow disciples had taken in during their travels. Now, seeing this disciple being attacked, and the genuine Quanzhen disciple Yang Kang ignoring it, his displeasure was evident. If he did not know that this disciple was very favored by Master Qiu, he would have taken it upon himself to teach him a lesson on behalf of Qiu Chuji.

"Kang'er? Is a Quanzhen master here?" Bao Xiruo, hearing the voices outside, could not help but ask joyfully. She had been very grateful to the Quanzhen Sect for teaching her son to be so filial. Now, hearing that a Quanzhen master had arrived, she could not help but want to come out to express her gratitude.

Hearing Bao Xiruo suddenly speak loudly, Su Yi could only smile bitterly. He secretly glanced over and, as expected, saw that Yang Tiexin, who had been playing a minor role all along, was now pale-faced, staring at the sedan chair in disbelief and confusion. If not for the five or six top experts between him and the sedan chair, he would have rushed over to confirm it by now!

"Mother, it's fine. This person is my uncle. It's freezing outside, so please don't come out. If you want to thank him, I can invite him to our house when I have the time!"

He whispered to reassure Bao Xiruo, thinking it was not the right time for them to meet yet...

But he did not expect Yang Tiexin to hear Bao Xiruo's voice. Now it was exactly the same as in the original story...

Since that was the case, he might as well follow the original plot... Let them meet at the prince's mansion. If Yang Tiexin behaves well, he would directly send them out. With his current martial arts, secretly escorting them out would be easy...

Su Yi then called over a guard and whispered something to him. The guard immediately smiled knowingly and nodded firmly at Su Yi!

Wang Chuyi, who had been ignored for so long, was already very unhappy. He frowned and said, "Kang'er... why don't you answer me?"

After Su Yi had everything arranged, he smiled and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Uncle. It's been two years, and Uncle looks even more distinguished!"

Sandaotian and Peng Lianhu were immediately shocked. From Wang Chuyi's tone, it seemed that this little troublemaker was a Quanzhen disciple. But thinking about it, his cultivation was so high that he might even surpass the Quanzhen Sect's leader, Ma Yu. How could he be a junior disciple? They never expected him to admit it and call him uncle...

Their first thought was... the Quanzhen Sect is rising!

They silently made a decision that in the future, they would show respect to Quanzhen disciples, otherwise, if they offended this little troublemaker, they might really end up dead.

"Hmph, Kang'er, it's one thing that you didn't participate in last year's competition, and that you haven't returned to the mountain for two years. Now, you even stand by and watch a Quanzhen disciple being attacked. Do you still consider yourself a disciple of Master Qiu? A disciple of the Quanzhen Sect?"

Su Yi smiled and said, "Uncle, that brother may not be a Quanzhen disciple!"

"The internal skill he uses is clearly from our Quanzhen Sect... Oh, right, Kang'er, your cultivation is not high enough, so you might not have noticed. I apologize for misunderstanding you. But even if he were just a passerby, you should have intervened! How could you stand by and watch? That goes against the Quanzhen Sect's code of chivalry!"

"Yes, Uncle, I understand. Disciple knows I was wrong!"

Su Yi answered respectfully, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to get Uncle Wang back to the prince's mansion. Since he was following the original plot, with Wang Chuyi and Guo Jing around, it would be much easier to take Bao Xiruo away from the prince's mansion that night. After all, this guy would only be poisoned, not killed.

Suddenly, he had an idea. Su Yi bent over, moved his lips slightly, and muttered something. Peng Lianhu, who was not far away, suddenly trembled as if he had heard something, then looked at Su Yi in shock and nodded helplessly.

"Uncle, my mother is not well. It's freezing outside, please allow me to send her home first. Once I've settled her, I will come to pay my respects to you."

"Very well! An elder's health is important. Go ahead."

"Yes."

Su Yi then said to the servants carrying the sedan chair, "Hurry up, if the princess gets cold, I'll have your heads!"

The sedan chair was lifted and turned away, and Su Yi followed it slowly.

Yang Tiexin stared at the sedan chair, his feet moving involuntarily to follow it. After a few steps, he was pulled back by Mu Niangni, "Father, what's wrong?"

"Ah..." Yang Tiexin came to his senses, feeling disappointed, "Nothing, I just heard a familiar voice. It must have been a mistake. Niangni, let's go..."

"Okay, Father."

The two of them pulled up the banner for the martial arts competition and left. Earlier, because Guo Jing had helped Ouyang Ke without permission, although it was later proven that he was just confused, Guo Jing did not act as he did in the original story, so Yang Tiexin and his daughter did not feel particularly close to him and did not even say goodbye.

Originally, Yang Tiexin, upon seeing the Quanzhen master Wang Chuyi, wanted to ask about Qiu Chuji's well-being, but after hearing that familiar voice, he had no such thoughts...

Ouyang Ke looked at Mu Niangni with reluctance, but then he saw Wang Chuyi and Guo Jing. Both of them were strong, especially Wang Chuyi, a renowned top expert. Although his side had more people, they were not united, so they probably would not help him fight for the beauty. Reluctantly, he had to give up for now!

As long as they were still in the capital, he was not afraid they would escape.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Ke did not notice that shortly after they left, several suspicious figures followed them, targeting Yang Tiexin and his daughter.

"Good child, let's go."

Wang Chuyi, a bit unhappy, said to Guo Jing. His displeasure was not directed at Guo Jing but at Su Yi. He felt that compared to his kindness and simplicity when he was in the Quanzhen Sect, Su Yi now seemed a bit arrogant and domineering, which made him very unhappy.

But since Su Yi was not his disciple, he could not say much.

Hearing Wang Chuyi's words, Guo Jing nodded. He had a very high opinion of the Quanzhen Sect's Taoists, especially this Taoist who had saved his life. He felt very close to him and regarded him as a mentor, so he had no objections.

Turning to look for his brother Huang, he found that Huang, who had been worried about him just now, was now nowhere to be seen. It seemed that he had left on his own once he saw that Guo Jing was safe.

"What's wrong, child?"

"Oh, nothing..." Guo Jing replied, a bit disappointed.

Just as the two were about to leave, Peng Lianhu stepped forward, "Are you two leaving?"

"Oh? Who is this?"

Peng Lianhu said, "I am Peng Lianhu!"

"Is it Peng Zhaizhu!" Wang Chuyi was immediately moved.

"Wang Taoist, you are a guest from afar. Our prince has always admired the Quanzhen Sect's masters. If he knew we met a true person and did not invite you to our mansion, he would certainly blame us. So Peng Lianhu boldly invites you and this young man to our mansion tonight. Do you dare to come?"
