Chapter 52: Guo Jing

Mount Zhongnan, Quanzhen Sect, Scripture Depository.

Just as Wang Chongyang walked out of the Scripture Depository, the Seven Quanzhen Masters, bringing Guo Jing, walked over.

Seeing this, Wang Chongyang thought of the tear stains on his cheeks that had not yet been wiped away, and his expression changed drastically. He stepped lightly, transformed into a large golden wild goose, soared into the sky, and disappeared.

"Master! Master!"

Qiu Chuji hurriedly called out, but Wang Chongyang acted as if he had not heard, and soon he was nowhere to be seen.

"This... what is going on?!"

"Patriarch Chongyang seemed to be... crying just now?!"

Guo Jing looked foolishly at the disappearing Wang Chongyang and said somewhat uncertainly.

After all, he was a Heavenly Man martial artist, so he naturally saw that Wang Chongyang's expression was somewhat awkward, with a trace of tear stains on his cheeks, and the figure that had just flown away seemed somewhat... disheveled?!

An illusion! An illusion!

This must be an illusion!

Guo Jing denied it in his heart.

"Crying?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could Master cry?!"

Hearing Guo Jing's muttering, Qiu Chuji immediately denied it categorically.

"That's right! How old is Master to be crying?! He is not a child!"

"Exactly! If you said the little junior brother would cry, I might believe it a little! But for Master to cry, it is simply impossible!"

"Jing'er, could you have seen it wrong?"

"..."

Liu Chuxuan, Wang Chuyi, and others spoke up one after another.

"I... this... perhaps... I saw it wrong?!"

Guo Jing was not sure about what he had seen in the first place, mainly because Wang Chongyang had left too quickly, and furthermore, Wang Chongyang was highly virtuous and respected, especially the act of... crying, which made Guo Jing dare not draw conclusions easily.

After all, how old was Wang Chongyang, and he would still cry?!

It was simply the biggest joke under heaven!

Therefore, seeing this, Guo Jing could only indicate that he had seen it wrong.

"Jing'er is a Heavenly Man! Just because we can't see it doesn't mean Jing'er can't!"

Quanzhen Sect Master Ma Yu looked in the direction where Wang Chongyang had disappeared and revealed a thoughtful look. "After all, it is not as if Master has no sad past!"

"And, Master is old; once he thinks of sad past events, perhaps... it is really possible that he would cry."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan, Wang Chuyi, and the other six Quanzhen masters opened their mouths wide, looking at Ma Yu in astonishment.

"Patriarch Chongyang... has a sad past?!"

Guo Jing was also incredulous, looking at Ma Yu in confusion.

"If I am not mistaken, Master should have gone to... the Ancient Tomb now!"

Ma Yu looked in the direction of the Ancient Tomb and said heavily.

The Ancient Tomb?!

Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan, and the other six Quanzhen masters were stunned, and then they all suddenly realized.

That's right!

If it were the Ancient Tomb, involving the extraordinary woman who almost became their mistress back then... then that must be it!

Master must have been... crying just now!

That's right!

Master must have cried!

The Seven Quanzhen Masters had no more doubts this time and smiled knowingly.

"The Ancient Tomb?!"

"What is that?!"

Guo Jing expressed his confusion, but seeing the Seven Quanzhen Masters looking thoughtful but not explaining to him, he had to put his doubts in his heart.

But at the same time, a sense of absurdity rose in his heart: So, Patriarch Chongyang was really... crying just now?!

Guo Jing's pupils shrank, shocked!

Quanzhen Forbidden Land, Gumu Sect.

"Long'er, Long'er, are you there?!"

Li Changsheng arrived outside the Ancient Tomb and shouted loudly.

However, inside the Ancient Tomb, there was silence, and no one spoke.

"Then I'm coming in!"

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as your tacit consent!"

Li Changsheng used his old trick, his figure moved, and he approached the inside of the Ancient Tomb.

Behind him, Wang Chongyang's figure also arrived quietly.

Hum!

The Ancient Tomb opened, and a middle-aged woman walked out.

This middle-aged woman was none other than Lin Chaoying's maid from back then, Lin Xiaoying.

"Long'er is impossible to..."

Lin Xiaoying came out, intending to send Li Changsheng away, but upon appearing, she suddenly saw Wang Chongyang behind Li Changsheng, and her face changed drastically. She shouted angrily, "... Wang Chongyang! You still dare to come to the Ancient Tomb?!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Without hesitation, Lin Xiaoying's long sword was unsheathed instantly. Her sword technique was elegant and agile, flickering back and forth, stabbing east and striking west, exhausting the mysteries of the Jade Maiden Sword Technique.

Wang Chongyang did not dodge or evade, just standing in place. A cyan divine light appeared, resembling an ancient tree, surrounding his entire body. No matter how Lin Xiaoying struck with her sword, she could do nothing to him.

Although Lin Xiaoying was Lin Chaoying's maid, she had learned many of Lin Chaoying's martial arts, but unfortunately, her talent was average, and she was only at the Grandmaster Realm.

Wang Chongyang did not need to make a move; he only needed to vibrate slightly to shake Lin Xiaoying to death on the spot.

But after all, he felt guilty toward Lin Chaoying, so no matter how Lin Xiaoying struck, he never made a move.

【You observed the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, your comprehension is heaven-defying, and you are thoughtful... You realized a trace of the essence of softness and created the "Water Soft Sword Technique"!】

"Water Soft Sword Technique": The highest good is like water; water benefits all things and does not contend! This sword technique uses softness to overcome hardness and weakness to overcome strength!

In Li Changsheng's heart, a stream of information emerged.

He found it boring, and seeing that Wang Chongyang did not speak, he had to say, "If you don't want Auntie Lin to wake up, then continue to strike..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiaoying's sword light paused, and she looked at Li Changsheng instantly, asking, "You... what did you say?!"

"I said! I can save Auntie Lin Chaoying and wake her up!"

Li Changsheng said.

"Just by you?!"

Lin Xiaoying expressed disbelief. "Even Wang Chongyang cannot save the Mistress, how can a child like you save the Mistress?!"

"Old Man Wang is Old Man Wang!"

"I am I!"

Li Changsheng became somewhat impatient, waved his hand, and pointed at Wang Chongyang. "If you don't believe me, ask Old Man Wang!"

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoying, on top of her disbelief, revealed a look of half-belief, and she could not help but really look at Wang Chongyang.

"If even he cannot save Ying, then under the heavens, I am afraid there is no one else who can save Ying!"

Wang Chongyang nodded affirmatively.

"Wang Chongyang! You are not worthy to call my Mistress..."
