"Guo'er."

"Guo'er."

"Guo'er."

Guo Jing's expression grew increasingly excited. He called out "Yang Guo" three times, then approached Yang Guo and hugged him, exclaiming in surprise, "Guo'er, it really is you."

Zhao Hao, Li Mochou, and Yang Guo were all carefully observing every subtle change on Guo Jing's face.

Back then, when Guo Jing left Yang Guo at Chongyang Palace, Zhao Hao and Li Mochou had seen it all.

At the time, Li Mochou had a very poor opinion of Guo Jing, considering him a hypocrite with a false reputation in the martial world. Zhao Hao neither confirmed nor denied this possibility.

However, Zhao Hao never spoke ill of Guo Jing in front of Yang Guo. It's best not to comment on matters if you're not directly involved, especially when criticizing someone behind their back.

This can easily make you unpopular with everyone.

But Zhao Hao's silence didn't mean Yang Guo wouldn't think about it.

Without a doubt, Yang Guo is a very intelligent person, extremely intelligent.

Perhaps due to his limited experience, Yang Guo isn't truly wise yet. But the tumultuous life he has led has made him exceptionally sensitive.

Over the years, to say he never doubted Guo Jing would be a lie.

But when he saw Guo Jing's extremely excited expression, felt his slightly trembling body, and heard the genuine joy in his voice, Yang Guo felt a warmth in his heart.

Forget the past, let it all be like a cloud.

The truth doesn't matter anymore.

At least, Guo Jing's reaction at this moment made Yang Guo feel cared for and remembered.

This feeling was very good, and he liked it very much.

"Rong'er, Guo'er has come." Guo Jing released Yang Guo and turned to Huang Rong.

Then Guo Jing hugged Yang Guo again and said, "Guo'er, how have you been at Chongyang Palace these years? Uncle Guo thinks about you every day, Guo'er. This time, your aunt didn't invite you to the Heroes' Assembly because she was afraid it would interfere with your martial arts training. But you came on your own today, and I am truly delighted."

Yang Guo raised his head and met Huang Rong's gaze.

Yang Guo clearly felt that Huang Rong's eyes were filled with scrutiny, suspicion, and even caution, but there was absolutely no trace of joy.

Yang Guo didn't feel disappointed, as Huang Rong's reaction was exactly what he had expected.

Since he had never harbored any hope, he naturally wouldn't feel disappointed.

Yang Guo freed himself from Guo Jing's arms, leaving Guo Jing somewhat taken aback.

"Uncle Guo, you said you think about me every day and promised to visit me at Chongyang Palace soon. How many times have you visited in all these years?" Yang Guo asked.

Guo Jing was speechless, unable to answer.

"Guo'er..."

"Mother Guo, Father Guo said you didn't invite me to the Heroes' Assembly because you were afraid it would interfere with my martial arts training. Is that true?" Yang Guo continued.

"Guo'er, what do you mean by that?" Huang Rong's eyes flashed as she asked.

"Since you are so concerned about my martial arts progress, have you ever written to me to inquire about it? Do you know how far I have advanced in my Quanzhen martial arts?" Yang Guo asked.

Huang Rong's face finally showed a hint of discomfort.

Of course, she didn't know.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Yang Guo's lips. He had promised himself not to be sad, but when faced with this situation, his heart still ached.

"Guo'er, have you been angry with Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo for ignoring you all these years?" Guo Jing asked.

Yang Guo shook his head and said, "No, I should thank Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo for raising me. No matter what, without Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo, there would be no Yang Guo today. And in that situation, you didn't choose to completely abandon me or ignore me, which was already very kind. I can't ask for more."

Huang Rong's heart sank.

She could sense the hidden meaning in Yang Guo's words.

"Yang Guo, you are still so disrespectful. It's one thing to be impolite to me, but to be so disrespectful to Great Hero Guo and Lady Guo is truly uncivilized," Zhao Zijing said angrily.

Guo Jing frowned slightly but said, "I have been negligent. Guo'er, come and pay respects to your master."

"Who am I to be the master of Master Yang?" Zhao Zijing said, waving his sleeve.

"Brother Zhao, why do you say that?" Guo Jing asked.

But Zhao Zijing didn't respond. Instead, Yang Guo said coldly, "Zhao Zijing, your self-assessment is quite accurate. A person with no virtue and no ability is not worthy to be my master, Yang Guo."

Guo Jing's face darkened at Yang Guo's words.

"Guo'er, what are you saying? Quickly apologize to your master," Guo Jing scolded.

"He is not worthy of my respect," Yang Guo said.

"You, how can you be so disrespectful? As a young martial artist, you should follow your master's teachings, not show disrespect. Come here and kowtow to your grandmasters, your uncle, and your master to apologize," Guo Jing's voice grew increasingly low and stern, clearly suppressing his anger.

Hearing Guo Jing's words, a look of satisfaction flashed across Zhao Zijing's face. Hao Datong, Sun Budan, and Zhen Zhibing remained expressionless and silent.

"Uncle Guo, this Zhao Zijing, you were the one who made me his disciple. I never wanted to be his disciple, and he never taught me any martial arts. In my life, I will bow to heaven, earth, my parents, and my master, but I will never bow to a scoundrel like Zhao Zijing, nor to the hypocritical Taoists of the Quanzhen Sect," Yang Guo said firmly.

Yang Guo's words shocked everyone present.

At his current age, no one would take Yang Guo's words lightly.

This was a complete breakdown of relations.

"This young man surnamed Yang is still as troublemaking as ever," Wu Dunru said to Guo Fu.

Guo Fu, watching Yang Guo speak confidently in front of Guo Jing, felt a strange stirring in her heart and said, "But his ability to cause trouble has grown stronger. Even Father is angry."

"Great Hero Guo, I can no longer be Yang Guo's master, and he is no longer my disciple, so he doesn't need to kowtow to me. However, if I, Zhao Zijing, have offended you in the past, I apologize to you here," Zhao Zijing said magnanimously, even with a smile on his face.

Compared to Yang Guo's aggressive stance, Zhao Zijing's performance undoubtedly showcased the Quanzhen Sect's grace.

To those who didn't know the full story, Zhao Zijing would appear to have done everything he could, while Yang Guo would be seen as disrespectful and rebellious.

Guo Jing's dark expression was enough to show that Zhao Zijing's performance was very successful.

Only Yang Guo still smiled coldly and said, "Apology, you must apologize, but the sins you have committed cannot be erased with a few words, Zhao Zijing. Today, in front of all the heroes, let's settle this account."

"Enough," Guo Jing said angrily.

"Not enough, it's far from enough. Uncle Guo, you don't know anything, so don't give your opinion so easily," Yang Guo said.

Everything has changed, and no one can go back to the past.
