Guo Mansion.

On their way back, Guo Jing and Huang Rong met their daughter Guo Fu and the two Wu brothers, and only then did the group return to their mansion in Xiangyang.

As for the disciple of the Complete Perfection Sect, Yin Zhiping, who was in a daze, he did not follow them.

"Fu-er, you and the two Wu brothers go down first!"

Just as they sat down, Huang Rong poured a cup of hot tea for her husband Guo Jing and then shooed her daughter Guo Fu and the two Wu brothers away. After all, what she wanted to say next was not suitable for the younger generation to hear.

After Guo Fu and the two Wu brothers left the room, Huang Rong sat back beside Guo Jing and said, "Jing-gege, are you thinking about the Finger Flicking Skill from Daoist Yue Yuan?"

As Guo Jing's wife, Huang Rong knew him very well, but in contrast, Guo Jing did not understand her as much. After all, there was a gap between them in terms of dealing with people and matters. It was just that most of the time, Huang Rong completely put Guo Jing first and accommodated him.

The reason was simple: Huang Rong had thoroughly understood Guo Jing's personality. No matter how upset Guo Jing got, she could always calm him down.

Seeing Guo Jing's thoughtful expression, she immediately revealed what he was thinking.

"Um!"

Nodding, Guo Jing admitted that he was indeed thinking about Daoist Yue Yuan's sudden move, saying, "This young Daoist's skills are very high, and it seems he follows the path of hardness and strength!" Here, Guo Jing paused, as if he wanted to say something but ultimately did not.

"Are you saying that the Finger Flicking Skill of that Daoist should not have come from your father?"

But who was Huang Rong? She had been Guo Jing's wife for over a decade and could see through his thoughts at a glance. She smiled and said, "The martial arts of Peach Blossom Island are derived from the essence of water, focusing on suppleness and flexibility, much like the waves of the sea, undulating continuously. The skills are naturally not based on hardness and strength. Even if my father were to use them himself, he would not be much stronger than that Daoist."

With these words, Huang Rong thoroughly analyzed Yue Yuan's move. Although it was similar to her father Huang Yaoshi's Finger Flicking Skill, there were so many martial arts in the world that it was impossible to rule out the existence of a similar skill.

Compared to Yue Yuan's sudden display of the Finger Flicking Skill, Huang Rong was actually more surprised by his lightness of body.

Whether it was his sudden appearance or his departure with Miss Long, the lightness of his body was enough to astonish Huang Rong. She even had a feeling that Yue Yuan's true strength was not just what he had shown.

"No!"

"I was just thinking that this young Daoist seems to have high martial arts and is a cultivated person. But the Pure Yang Sect... I remember it disappeared after a war!"

Shaking his head, Guo Jing mentioned another question on his mind.

"Ha ha, Jing-gege, you're overthinking it!"

Huang Rong, however, was not concerned and smiled, saying, "Although the Pure Yang Sect was a sect passed down from the early Tang Dynasty and disappeared after a war, this does not mean its lineage disappeared! After all, the Middle Mystic Wang Daoist once claimed to have inherited the Pure Yang lineage!"

"And having one more inheritor now is not strange at all!"

After hearing his wife's words, Guo Jing thought about it and realized she was right. He had been overthinking it. Nodding, he said, "That's true!"

"Regarding Daoist Yue and Miss Long, Jing-gege, there's a more important matter now!"

Huang Rong's smile faded, and her expression became very serious. She stared at Guo Jing with a stern tone.

Guo Jing, who was sipping tea, also became serious. He rarely saw Huang Rong so serious, and when she did, it meant the matter was very serious. Sitting up straight, he put the teacup aside and looked at Huang Rong seriously, asking, "What is it?"

"Jing-gege, it's like this!"

Under Guo Jing's gaze, Huang Rong organized her thoughts and then recounted in detail what she had observed about the relationship between the Complete Perfection Sect's disciple Yin Zhiping and Miss Long. Of course, much of it was her own speculation.

However, the scene at the time was clear to everyone except the thick-skinned Guo Jing. Especially Huang Rong, who had been through it herself, could sense Yin Zhiping's gaze.

"How can this be!"

"Rong-er, don't say things lightly!"

After hearing Huang Rong's words, Guo Jing was shocked. In his eyes, the Complete Perfection Sect adhered to strict ascetic practices. How could someone violate the sect's major taboo, especially a disciple being groomed as the next leader like Yin Zhiping?

"Jing-gege, when have I ever lied to you?"

Huang Rong was a bit upset. As a mother, she now displayed the playful charm of her youth, pouting slightly and throwing a tantrum.

"Uh!"

Guo Jing was taken aback and then fell silent, thinking that Huang Rong's words had a lot of water in them!

Although Guo Jing was not smart, he was not foolish. Seeing Huang Rong's tantrum, he remained silent and listened quietly.

Sure enough, Huang Rong continued, "Fortunately, Miss Long ignores Daoist Yin and even despises him! It's a pity for Daoist Yin's feelings, but it's a good thing that it might help him let go of his obsession."

Indeed, it was a good thing!

Guo Jing was also pleased to hear this.

But then Huang Rong's "but" made Guo Jing's thoughts rise again, saying, "But I'm afraid Daoist Yin will become stubborn."

At this point, Guo Jing finally understood the true meaning of Huang Rong's words. She wanted him to remind Yin Zhiping's master and elders to prevent him from making a mistake. Since Huang Rong was an outsider to the Complete Perfection Sect and had a history with the Seven Daoists, she could not say this herself.

Of course, if it came to a life-or-death situation, the Seven Daoists would be the ones to die.

Because of this, even though Huang Rong was now Guo Jing's wife, she could not say this herself.

"Rong-er, I understand your meaning. I will handle this matter!"

Meeting Huang Rong's gaze, Guo Jing nodded, indicating that he understood her words, saying, "After this Hero Assembly, I will explain the situation to the Daoists."

"Hehe!"

With a light laugh, Huang Rong smiled, and the room was filled with the fragrance of a hundred flowers.

However, what Guo Jing and Huang Rong did not expect was that the matter was not as simple as they thought. With their involvement, the situation became increasingly complex. It not only involved Yang Guo but also their eldest daughter, Guo Fu.

In the end, even Yue Yuan could not escape the matter and was inadvertently dragged into it by Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Thus, the greatest turmoil in the martial world was triggered by Little Dragon Maiden and ultimately initiated by Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Of course, that was a later story.

For now, Guo Jing and Huang Rong had only decided on how to handle the issue with Yin Zhiping.

Meanwhile.

In a room at the Yue Lai Inn, Yue Yuan, Little Dragon Maiden, and Lu Wushuang were quietly having dinner.

Hmm?

Just as Yue Yuan was about to lift a bite of food, he felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.

Little Dragon Maiden also sneezed and choked slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Wushuang looked at the two who suddenly sneezed, very surprised. Why would they sneeze while eating? And both of them sneezed one after the other.

"Oh!"

"Nothing, maybe some fellow martial artist is thinking of me and mentioning me," Yue Yuan wiped his nose with his left hand and smiled gently.

Little Dragon Maiden: "..."

Lu Wushuang: "..."
