Chapter 16

Guo Jing was right here, and Zhao Hao, of course, knew it.

Guo Jing's journey was originally to escort Yang to the Zhongnan Mountains.

At first, Huang Yaoshi hadn't realized it, but when Guo Jing approached, he naturally wouldn't fail to notice.

However, although Huang Yaoshi was arrogant, he was even more proud.

He would never say something false with his eyes wide open.

Therefore, although he didn't like Guo Jing, his evaluation of Guo Jing was still based on facts.

So when he heard Guo Jing's modest words, Huang Yaoshi appeared even angrier.

"Are you questioning my judgment?" Huang Yaoshi said with a malevolent look.

Guo Jing, who was not good with words, was immediately at a loss for words when Huang Yaoshi said this.

At this moment, Zhao Hao finally took a serious look at Guo Jing.

This protagonist from the previous era could very well be the strongest expert in this era.

Yes, the strongest expert.

Since he had chosen to come to this world, Zhao Hao naturally wouldn't be unfamiliar with it.

Although the TV series version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" couldn't cover everything, there might still be other hidden experts in the world, and his arrival could also cause a butterfly effect.

But from the TV series alone, whether it was the later Dragon-Elephant Level 10 King or the heartbroken Yang Guo, none of them truly surpassed Guo Jing in strength.

This middle-aged man, who was dull and unremarkable in appearance, finally burst forth with accumulated strength and made a stunning appearance in his prime.

Everyone was making progress, and without realizing it, he had already surpassed everyone else.

Zhao Hao knew that in this life, he might very well be his greatest ally.

Of course, he might also be his greatest enemy.

However, no matter what, they were still strangers.

Moreover, his main goal today was not Guo Jing.

"Although Great Hero Guo's martial arts are already rare in the world, the person I admire most is still Lord Huang," Zhao Hao said.

Guo Jing immediately replied, "Indeed, indeed. Father-in-law is erudite and talented, far surpassing me in every way."

Although Huang Yaoshi had always disliked him, and Guo Jing had some resentment towards Huang Yaoshi, he was always loyal and filial. Since Huang Yaoshi was Huang Rong's father, Guo Jing would never be disrespectful to him.

Huang Yaoshi ignored Guo Jing and stared intently at Zhao Hao, saying, "Young brother, I am not someone who gets carried away with a few compliments."

"Since I said it, I naturally have my reasons. Lord Huang, please forgive me. In fact, among these top experts in the world, Lord Huang's foundation is the shallowest."

When Zhao Hao said this, Guo Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he was worried for Zhao Hao.

He knew Huang Yaoshi's temper better than anyone.

Huang Yaoshi was unpredictable, and if Zhao Hao spoke like this, it wouldn't be surprising if Huang Yaoshi immediately attacked him.

However, to Guo Jing's surprise, Huang Yaoshi's face showed no expression, and he said, "Go on."

Zhao Hao smiled faintly. Although the combination of Huang Yaoshi and Guo Jing was undoubtedly one of the top combinations in the "Return of the Condor Heroes" world, and even had the power to defeat him, Zhao Hao remained calm.

"Lord Huang's martial arts are indeed too complex. The Flying God Sword of Peach Blossom Shadow and the Jade Flute of the Rising Tide in the Blue Sea are indeed admirable. But, Lord Huang, if you reflect on it, can the martial arts you have learned match the Nine Yin Manual or the先天功 (Xiantian Gong)? Can the attacks from these martial arts compare to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, the One Yang Finger, or the Toad Skill?" Zhao Hao asked.

Huang Yaoshi pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.

"You are right. Although these martial arts are good, they are far from being the best in the world," Huang Yaoshi said solemnly.

Zhao Hao clapped his hands in approval. "Precisely because of this, Lord Huang is truly a genius. The others either have the legacy of their predecessors or extraordinary good fortune, but Lord Huang's martial arts are mostly self-created, forming a unique school. To be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with them on your own, Lord Huang is truly an extraordinary person. Martial arts have their levels, and people naturally have their levels. In my eyes, Lord Huang is truly a great person."

Hearing Zhao Hao say this, Guo Jing couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Although he had some resentment towards Huang Yaoshi, he never doubted Huang Yaoshi's martial arts and talent.

Huang Yaoshi himself also laughed heartily.

"Young brother, you are very much to my liking," Huang Yaoshi said.

"Unfortunately, I am about to do something that will displease Lord Huang," Zhao Hao said.

Huang Yaoshi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he pointed at Li Mochou. "You are going to protect her?"

Zhao Hao replied frankly, "Yes."

Huang Yaoshi frowned slightly and said, "These three children are so young, and this woman is so ruthless. Why do you protect such a venomous person?"

"Back then, Mei Chaofeng was also bloodthirsty. Why did Lord Huang not allow others to enforce justice?" Zhao Hao countered.

"She is my disciple. If she needs to be punished, it should be done by me," Huang Yaoshi said, his face darkening when Zhao Hao mentioned "Mei Chaofeng."

Mei Chaofeng's matter was Huang Yaoshi's eternal pain.

And it could never be made up for.

This matter was wrong on Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng's part, but Huang Yaoshi's subsequent actions were also extremely radical.

For so many years, he had been bearing the consequences of his radical actions.

And Mei Chaofeng's tragic death made Huang Yaoshi even more distressed.

Because Mei Chaofeng died to protect Huang Yaoshi.

To Huang Yaoshi, Mei Chaofeng was his Achilles' heel.

Now that Zhao Hao had mentioned his Achilles' heel, he naturally felt extremely displeased.

"Similarly, Li Mochou is my person. If she needs to be punished, it should be done by me," Zhao Hao said firmly.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Huang Yaoshi suddenly shifted his gaze to Li Mochou and asked, "You are his person?"

With Huang Yaoshi's shrewdness, it wasn't difficult for him to see the problem.

Moreover, he hadn't recognized Li Mochou at first. But after Zhao Hao mentioned Li Mochou's name, Huang Yaoshi had already figured it out.

After all, "Fiery Fairy" Li Mochou was well-known in the martial arts world. Huang Yaoshi, who had traveled the world for many years, had naturally heard of Li Mochou's name.

He also knew that Li Mochou was a lone wanderer.

Therefore, it wasn't difficult to conclude that Zhao Hao was stepping in uninvited.

However, to Huang Yaoshi's surprise, after hesitating for a moment, Li Mochou actually nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I have already accepted this young master's invitation. It's not wrong to say I am his person," Li Mochou said.

If you want to subdue me, I'll give you a chance, and I'll give myself a chance, Li Mochou thought to herself.

Sometimes, it's really just about giving each other a chance.

The rewards that follow might be much greater than you initially imagined.
