Under the silver glow of the sky.
As Guo Fu and Da Wu watched with tense eyes, Yue Yuan, dressed in a blue and white Taoist robe, slowly walked out from behind the chimney.
Casually and gracefully!
"Who are you?"
Upon seeing Yue Yuan emerge from behind the hidden chimney, Da Wu's body tensed up, and he asked nervously, "Why were you following us?"
Unlike Da Wu, Miss Guo Fu remained unusually quiet, carefully observing the young Taoist who had suddenly appeared.
He exuded a heroic aura and was exceptionally handsome!
After all, Yue Yuan's good looks could almost rival those of Yang Guo, so in Guo Fu's eyes, Yue Yuan made a very good first impression.
As the saying goes, the love of beauty is universal.
This applies to both men and women.
When you meet someone, their appearance and aura often make up the majority of your first impression. Truly judging a person without considering their looks is rare. Often, this happens only after a long period of interaction.
When both parties understand each other well, appearance becomes less important. Of course, if the inner qualities match the outer appearance, that is the best scenario.
What a handsome Taoist!
Even Guo Fu, who had seen many people, including many young heroes in the martial world, found such an outstanding man rare. In her memory, only two people stood out: her grandfather, the eccentric Huang Yaoshi, and Yang Guo, whom she had met as a child.
Now, another person had clearly entered her memory: Yue Yuan, who emerged from behind the chimney with his hands behind his back.
Guo Fu was not as nervous as Da Wu. She had only noticed him by accidentally spotting a hat on the chimney. As for his martial skills...
Since he could listen quietly for a while, Guo Fu naturally knew he was quite skilled, but she didn't think he was as powerful as her father, Guo Jing.
In fact, in the eyes of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Guo Fu was raised as a well-bred lady. However, after learning martial arts and being spoiled by everyone, she became more rebellious.
Although she didn't learn the manners of a well-bred lady, she did learn to judge people by their appearance and demeanor.
Yue Yuan's luxurious blue and white Taoist robe, combined with his handsome appearance, had a significant impact on the young Guo Fu.
Therefore, after Da Wu's harsh question, Guo Fu quickly stopped him: "Da Wu, shut up!!!"
Da Wu could only scratch his head and remain silent.
After giving Da Wu a glare, Guo Fu turned her gaze back to Yue Yuan and said, "May I ask, Master Taoist, you are..." Her voice was as clear and pleasant as a lark.
"..."
While Guo Fu was observing him, Yue Yuan was also carefully examining the willful young lady from the Guo family. Earlier, he had only glanced at her in the moonlight, but now he was observing her closely.
Guo Fu was indeed beautiful!
From this, it could be inferred that her mother, Huang Rong, must have been on par with Xiaolongnü and Li Mochou in terms of beauty and aura.
If categorized, Xiaolongnü would be a cold and distant maiden, Li Mochou a mature woman, and Huang Rong a devoted wife. Each of them showcased the pinnacle of beauty and aura in their respective domains.
Oh!
Quite polite, too!
Although Guo Fu was spoiled, she still knew how to be polite in front of strangers, especially when they looked good.
Faced with Guo Fu's inquiry about his identity, Yue Yuan did not answer immediately but instead smiled and said, "Little girl, it doesn't matter who I am. Aren't you afraid I might harm you? After all, your and the young man's martial skills are not worth mentioning!"
His gaze was fixed on Guo Fu, while Da Wu was completely ignored. After all, his presence had always been low, and even after spending so much time impressing Guo Fu, he ended up marrying someone else.
A tragic first love.
"Huh?!!!"
Clearly, Yue Yuan's words surprised Guo Fu. She had not expected this handsome young Taoist, dressed in a blue and white robe, to say such a thing. His gentle smile made her even more nervous.
Although she had not seen his skills firsthand, the fact that he had been standing there for a long time before she noticed him due to his hat was enough to make her realize that she and Da Wu together were no match for him.
"Um..."
Swallowing hard, Guo Fu took a deep breath and, facing Yue Yuan's half-smiling gaze, lifted her chin proudly: "I'm not afraid at all!"
As she said this, she cautiously moved a step closer to Da Wu, revealing her true feelings.
"Oh? Why not?"
Seeing Guo Fu's slightly fearful expression and her retreating steps, Yue Yuan felt amused and decided to tease the willful young lady. He slowly extended his hands, which had been behind his back, as if he was about to make a move.
Yue Yuan's actions did not escape the notice of Guo Fu and Da Wu. Especially when Yue Yuan took out his hands and slowly rolled up his sleeves, Da Wu became even more nervous. The Taoist looked like a high-ranking master, and Da Wu was calculating how many moves he could withstand.
Unlike Da Wu, Guo Fu, though nervous and a bit afraid, did not show it on her face. She stood tall, chin up, and proudly declared, "My father is the great hero Guo Jing!"
"My mother is the leader of the Beggar Sect, Huang Rong!"
"My grandfather is the Eastern Heretic, Huang Yaoshi!"
Three powerful figures were revealed in quick succession, and Guo Fu laid out her background thoroughly, showing Yue Yuan who stood behind her. If anyone wanted to harm her, they would have to consider who she was connected to.
"..."
Yue Yuan's action of rolling up his sleeves stopped abruptly. He stared at Guo Fu, the fighting rooster, in utter surprise, momentarily at a loss.
Hmm?
Why does this sound so familiar?
Am I supposed to say my father is Yue Que, my mother is a goddess, and I have two half-brothers who are in early love?
After a moment.
Shaking his head, Yue Yuan's hands trembled, and his sleeves returned to their original position. With just a few words, Yue Yuan had thoroughly understood Guo Fu. In modern terms, the reason Guo Fu could navigate the martial world relatively easily was because she relied on her parents' influence.
Otherwise, with her personality, who knows what would have happened if she didn't have Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Huang Yaoshi behind her.
Forget it!
I'm just passing by, why should I bother with her!
With a step, Yue Yuan glanced at them indifferently, and with another step, his figure blurred, passing between Guo Fu and Da Wu, and he ran off into the distance, leaving them in shock.
