Chapter 89

"Mrs. Guo, this is..."

Approaching Guo Jing, Yue Yuan looked at the nearby Huang Rong with a face full of surprise and spoke.

"It's nothing!"

Seeing the situation, Huang Rong only smiled lightly, a hint of awkwardness on her face. Her gaze lingered on the Red练Fairy beside Yue Yuan before she said, "Taoist Yue, you have great skills!"

Huang Rong naturally understood Yue Yuan's actions. However, she couldn't help but admire the courage of this golden-robed Taoist. To take on the sins of the Red练Fairy in front of all the heroes of the world and to force everyone to acknowledge the concept of national and personal enmity, in Huang Rong's eyes, Yue Yuan was a very calculating person. According to his thinking, he must have known that he could ensure the Red练Fairy's safety; otherwise...

In fact, Huang Rong didn't realize that Yue Yuan had impulsively stepped onto the stage at the time. The original plan wasn't like this! Unfortunately, the situation at the time had already pushed the Red练Fairy to the brink of despair, and Yue Yuan had no choice but to step onto the stage.

"Humph!"

Beside her.

Guo Fu, whose marriage proposal had been publicly rejected by Yang Guo, was already pouting, almost as if she could hang several soy sauce bottles. At that moment, hearing Yue Yuan mention the incident, Guo Fu's barely suppressed anger flared up again.

This Taoist is just as bad as that stinky Yang Guo, not a good person!

With wide eyes, she glared fiercely at Yue Yuan and, under the concern of the Wu brothers, got up and left the hall.

"Hmm?"

Blinking, Yue Yuan looked at Guo Fu's departing back, appearing somewhat innocent.

Huang Rong, seeing the situation, immediately apologized, "Taoist Yue, I'm really sorry! My daughter is a bit spoiled, please forgive her!" In her heart, Huang Rong also felt that she might have spoiled Guo Fu too much.

"Oh!"

"It's nothing! Miss Guo is quite cute!"

Turning around, Yue Yuan smiled and, meeting Huang Rong's gaze, casually said, though his words were somewhat contrary to his true feelings. But in social interactions, you can't criticize someone's daughter in front of them, right?

Women can be petty and hold grudges!

And married women with children are even more so. Once provoked, they can hate you for a lifetime.

Faced with such a person, Yue Yuan absolutely didn't want to provoke her.

Cute?

Huang Rong was taken aback by his words, then gave Yue Yuan a strange look. Although she had only met the young Taoist twice, including today, the couple had a good impression of him. If she had to choose, Huang Rong would say she had a better impression of Yue Yuan than Yang Guo.

After all, to stand alone against all the heroes of the world for a woman, any woman would be moved. Even the already married Huang Rong was no exception.

If she had to choose between Yang Guo and Yue Yuan as her daughter's husband, under the current circumstances, Huang Rong's impression of Yue Yuan would definitely be better than Yang Guo. Of course, a good impression doesn't mean Huang Rong had any intentions. Seeing the quiet and composed Red练Fairy Li Mochou beside Yue Yuan, no parent would have such thoughts.

After chatting with Huang Rong for a while, Yue Yuan saw that Guo Jing still looked gloomy and didn't approach him. Instead, he took Li Mochou and her disciples to the front of the town, respectfully saluted Hao Datong and Sun Bu'er, and said, "Thank you, Senior Hao and Senior Sun, for your help earlier!"

"By the way, I wonder how much help the notes of Pure Yang Ancestor were to the seniors!"

After thanking them for their earlier assistance, Yue Yuan then asked about the notes he had left on his last visit to Zhongnan and the exchange with the Quanzhen Sect. The reason Yue Yuan had left a good impression on the Seven Quanzhen and even the parties involved didn't suspect his true identity was because of those notes written by Lü Dongbin.

"Hmm?"

"By the way, where are Taoist Yin and Taoist Zhao?"

After casually asking about the notes, Yue Yuan's gaze swept over Hao Datong and Sun Bu'er, noticing that Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zijing were missing. Honestly, he still wanted to talk to Yin Zhiping about some matters.

"… The notes of Pure Yang Ancestor were naturally very helpful!"

Hao Datong spoke, as he had always been interested in Huashan due to past events, but the current situation prevented him from finding the time. Sun Bu'er, the Pure and Clear Scattered Person, answered Yue Yuan's question about Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zijing, "Taoist Yin has already taken the injured Taoist Zhao down."

Everyone was Taoists, all part of the Pure Yang lineage.

Regarding Zhao Zijing's injury, Sun Bu'er didn't intend to hide it, as everyone in the hall had seen what happened, and there was no need to conceal it. However, when she said this, both Sun Bu'er and Hao Datong's faces were quite strange. Clearly, Guo Jing had already told them about Yin Zhiping's situation.

Well, never mind!

Originally, Yue Yuan still wanted to talk to Yin Zhiping about Xiaolongnü, but seeing that Yin Zhiping wasn't there, he didn't plan to look for him. In fact, Yue Yuan always felt that if Yin Zhiping hadn't been blinded by his infatuation and become a dragon knight, he would still be a good young man.

However, Yue Yuan forgot that his actions on the stage, taking on the sins of the Red练Fairy, had set an example for some people.

Sometimes, the power of a role model is boundless.

Of course, Yue Yuan didn't think about these things at the moment. He was currently trying to build relationships with the Red练Fairy and the Quanzhen Sect. After all, he had promised to take on the Red练Fairy's sins on the stage, and he needed to prove it with actions.

Moreover, Yue Yuan believed that Li Mochou would be of great use in the fight against the Mongols. Unlike Guo Jing, who was overly rigid, and Huang Rong, who cared about others' opinions, the Red练Fairy's nature and her poison skills would make the Mongol army suffer greatly.

In the world of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," the only large-scale weapon of mass destruction was the Red练Fairy Li Mochou. In the original world, Li Mochou spent her days fighting with Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, ultimately perishing in the Valley of Absolute Affection. Her knowledge of the Five Poisons was of no help in the fight against the Mongols.

But now, Yue Yuan had brought the Red练Fairy into the fight against the Mongols, using national enmity to offset personal grievances, which could fully demonstrate the destructive power of the Five Poisons.

Although the Red练Fairy couldn't be fully integrated into the righteous sects, with Yue Yuan's help, they could at least get to know each other.

...

A casual chat, and time passed quickly.

Many people had already left Lu Family Manor after the gathering, returning to their respective sects, while some went to Xiangyang to contribute to the fight against the Mongols. As for Yue Yuan, he was still in the hall, discussing with Guo Jing, Hao Datong, and Sun Bu'er. Li Mochou, on the other hand, spent the afternoon drinking tea with her senior disciple Hong Lingbo.

After all, the relationship between the Red练Fairy and the righteous sects was still awkward.

In the end, it was Huang Rong who approached and started chatting with Li Mochou. As for what the two women talked about, Yue Yuan didn't hear clearly, but he saw Huang Rong gently caressing her abdomen, and Li Mochou looking at her with a gentle expression.

Yue Yuan's actions that day not only stunned everyone but also earned him a title in the martial world.

Because of the poem he recited to the Red练Fairy, he was given the title of "Taoist Young Master."

Being a Taoist, yet a passionate young master!

At that moment, a strong smell of blood came from outside the door, followed by the sound of hurried, stumbling footsteps. Yin Zhiping, heavily injured and covered in blood, burst in.

His face was a mix of pain, worry, regret, and anger.

It was hard to imagine such a complex expression on one person's face.

Swish!

Almost everyone stood up. Yue Yuan stared in shock at the stumbling Yin Zhiping, his gaze falling on the white-clad figure in his arms, now almost entirely stained red with blood—Xiaolongnü.
