Chapter 66

Today's Yang Guo is no longer the Yang Guo who was brought to the Chongyang Palace by Guo Jing. ←

At that time, Yang Guo could only passively accept Guo Jing's arrangements, with no room for resistance.

But things are different now.

Yang Guo has the ability to resist, and he understands the importance of resistance.

Enduring everything passively will never solve any problems.

Good intentions can also lead to bad outcomes.

Guo Jing may have no ill intentions towards him, but this does not mean that Yang Guo must follow all of Guo Jing's arrangements.

Yang Guo's voice was not loud, but it was firm and resolute. Guo Jing, hearing Yang Guo's words, was stunned on the spot, pointing at Yang Guo with his right hand but saying nothing.

He didn't know what to say.

As a very traditional person, he adhered to the rules. At this moment, Yang Guo's actions undoubtedly broke all the rules he adhered to without any restraint.

For a moment, he couldn't react, and he didn't know how to face Yang Guo.

Guo Jing didn't speak, but Yang Guo had something to say.

"Uncle Guo, do you remember the scene when you brought me to Zhongnan Mountain?" Yang Guo asked.

"I remember, so what?" Guo Jing said.

"Uncle Guo, I'm sure you haven't forgotten that when you brought me to Zhongnan Mountain, you were mistaken for a lecher by Zhao Zijing. He led ninety-eight Taoists to form the Big Dipper Formation to capture you, but in the end, you defeated them with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms." Yang Guo said.

Upon hearing these words, both Guo Jing and Zhao Zijing's faces turned very awkward, and even Huang Rong was surprised, exclaiming, "Jingge, is what Guo'er said true?"

Guo Jing didn't want to embarrass the Quanzhen Sect in public, but he was not a habitual liar. In the end, he nodded and said, "That day, I indeed had a misunderstanding with Senior Brother Zhao, which led to some conflict."

Guo Jing's words undoubtedly confirmed that what Yang Guo said was true.

The crowd was in an uproar, and even Huang Rong sighed, "Jingge, you really..."

In such a situation, making Yang Guo join the Quanzhen Sect, and most importantly, making him a disciple of Zhao Zijing, would undoubtedly be a complete disaster for Yang Guo.

Guo Jing, with his honest nature, might not have thought so much. But Huang Rong, with her quick wit, almost instantly understood the cause and effect.

Huang Rong did not have the same admiration for the Quanzhen Sect as Guo Jing. At this moment, Huang Rong was certain that Yang Guo had suffered a great deal of injustice in the Quanzhen Sect, which led to his outburst today.

Thinking of this, Huang Rong's eyes held a trace of pity when she looked at Yang Guo.

She was not a cruel woman. Understanding the true situation, she naturally felt some sympathy for Yang Guo.

"Rong'er, what's wrong with me? The Quanzhen Sect is the orthodox sect of the world, and Senior Brother Zhao is the best among the third-generation disciples of the Quanzhen Sect. It is a great fortune for Guo'er to become a disciple of Senior Brother Zhao. What's wrong with that?" Guo Jing said.

Huang Rong stared at her husband with wide eyes, and after a long time, she exhaled and said to Yang Guo, "Guo'er, this is something your Uncle Guo did wrong. Aunt Guo apologizes to you."

Yang Guo waved his hand and said, "Aunt Guo, you're being too serious. You are always wise, and I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Uncle Guo beat the Quanzhen Sect Taoists to a pulp. They didn't dare to trouble Uncle Guo, but once Uncle Guo left, they took out their anger on me. When I joined Zhao Zijing's disciples, he didn't teach me any martial arts, and he even had many young Taoists beat me. On Peach Blossom Island, you taught me only Confucian classics and poetry. How could I be their match?"

Hearing Yang Guo's words, Huang Rong's face changed, and she said, "Guo'er, if you say so, then I have wronged you. If you bear a grudge for life, then so be it."

"Aunt Guo, there's no need to say such things. You and I both know why you didn't teach me martial arts. I don't want to say more. Those Confucian classics and poetry are still somewhat useful. I used to resent you, but over the years, I have grown a lot. After all, you taught me to read and write, and I am grateful to Aunt Guo. But those Taoists are different. They not only didn't teach me anything useful, but they also bullied me everywhere."

As he said this, a trace of killing intent flashed in Yang Guo's eyes, and he pointed at Hao Datong, "Especially this old Taoist surnamed Hao. He saw that an old lady surnamed Sun was good to me, and he almost beat her to death. Although Old Lady Sun was treated in time, she still passed away two years ago. Every time I think of this, I wish to kill this villain and avenge Old Lady Sun. Hao Datong, you tell me, did you do this?"

Hao Datong dared not look Yang Guo in the eye, lowered his head, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing Hao Datong's reaction, everyone in the hall knew that what Yang Guo said was true. Even the dull Guo Jing understood.

Hao Datong suddenly drew his long sword and came to Yang Guo's side.

Guo Jing instinctively blocked Yang Guo, exclaiming, "Taoist Hao, don't be impulsive."

A trace of warmth flashed in Yang Guo's eyes.

Zhao Hao nodded secretly, and he heard Zhao Ling'er's voice in his ear, "He's not faking it; it's a purely instinctive reaction. It seems that Guo Jing really has no ill intentions towards Yang Guo."

Hao Datong's face was heavy as he said to Yang Guo, "This is indeed the biggest mistake of my life. Kill me and avenge Old Lady Sun. I will not resist."

"Guo'er, don't take the sword," Guo Jing said.

At this moment, Guo Jing had completely believed what Yang Guo said and felt a complex, indescribable feeling towards the Quanzhen Sect.

But years of friendship made him unable to stand by and watch Hao Datong die at Yang Guo's hands.

"Why not take it?" Zhao Hao suddenly said.

"Hao Datong, you probably think that in public, whether it's Guo Jing, Huang Rong, or anyone else, they won't let Yang Guo really kill you, so you act so fearlessly. In the end, it's just a show." Zhao Hao said.

"You..." Hao Datong glared at Zhao Hao angrily.

"Killing to atone for a crime, and repaying debts, are natural laws. Since you are asking for death, Yang Guo, fulfill his request and let him get what he wants. I will take full responsibility for all the consequences." Zhao Hao said.

Seeing Hao Datong's pretentious act, Zhao Hao felt deep disgust.

This guy has asked for death twice but didn't die. If he truly repented and sincerely asked for death, how could this happen?

Is it so difficult to commit suicide?

Since you ask for death, I will make you die.
