Chapter 21

Guo Jing was like a white jade pillar of the Great Song!

Although he had high prestige in the Jianghu and was deeply loved by the people!

He was just a commoner and did not hold an official position!

Jiang Yuyan knew that if she wanted to secure her position as the master of the Southern Song Dynasty after the incompetent emperor died, she needed capable generals!

In her view, this Guo Jing was quite good!

Thinking of this.

She immediately whispered into Emperor Zhao Qi's ear.

"Your Majesty, look, this Great Hero Guo Jing defends Xiangyang and contributes to the country; he is a great loyal minister and righteous man!"

"If it were before, that would be fine!"

"But now, his name is on the Azure Cloud List!"

"Everyone in the world knows about Guo Jing's deeds!"

"If Your Majesty does not reward Guo Jing, I fear it will be hard to justify!"

"Your Majesty, you should bestow an official title upon Guo Jing!"

"Let him properly defend Xiangyang for Your Majesty!"

"Defend the Great Song's territory!"

How could Zhao Qi care about Guo Jing!

He only had eyes for Jiang Yuyan!

He waved his hand directly and said, "Whatever my beloved concubine says to bestow, we shall bestow!"

"I approve it all!"

……

Southern Song,

One hundred li south of Xiangyang City.

There was a deep valley.

Inside the deep valley.

A one-armed man was swinging on a swing with a fairy-like woman in white.

The one-armed man had delicate features, but there were two streaks of white hair at his temples.

It made the man look very weathered.

He did not seem to match the woman in white beside him so well.

However.

The woman in white's face was full of happiness.

Suddenly.

A thunderclap shook the sky.

Purple thunder flashed across the sky.

The one-armed man and the woman in white looked at the strange changes in the firmament.

In an instant, they looked at each other.

Both saw a bit of surprise in the other's eyes.

When the Azure Cloud List appeared.

As soon as Zhang Cuishan made the list.

The one-armed man immediately understood.

"Gu-gu (Aunt), this Heavenly Dao phenomenon is truly strange!"

"In the world, the Wudang Sect's Fifth Hero Zhang, who was the first to make the Azure Cloud List, has the lowest ranking!"

"Even so, he has the strength of a Grandmaster Rank 8!"

"He is already almost on par with me!"

"One can see what kind of powerful figures are to come on this Azure Cloud List!"

The woman in white nodded slightly and said, "Guo'er, your martial arts are much better than mine now!"

"I am only at Grandmaster Rank 2."

"You are already at Grandmaster Rank 9!"

"It seems you have suffered a lot over these years!"

As she spoke, the woman in white felt a pang of heartache and raised her hand to brush across the one-armed man's face.

The one-armed man shook his head, looking affectionately at the woman in white, and said, "Gu-gu, as long as I can see you, I am willing to suffer any amount of hardship!"

At this moment.

Golden light erupted on the Azure Cloud List, and Guo Jing's name appeared again.

Seeing Guo Jing make the list.

The one-armed man was immediately surprised.

"Gu-gu, Gu-gu!"

"Look quickly, Uncle Guo has made the list!"

"I never thought my cultivation would have caught up to Uncle Guo!"

"Eh?"

"No!"

"How could Uncle Guo's lifespan only be fifty years!"

"This is impossible!"

"Uncle Guo practiced the Quanzhen Sect's internal energy and later practiced the complete version of the 'Nine Yin Manual'; both are cultivation methods for longevity!"

"How could he only live to fifty!"

"Could it be because Uncle Guo defends Xiangyang?"

"Will he be killed by the Mongol Yuan army?"

The one-armed man looked worried.

These two were none other than Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden.

The two had been separated for sixteen years and were just reuniting.

Yang Guo's mood had been great!

But when he saw that Guo Jing only had a mere two years of life left.

His mood immediately sank.

"Long'er, Uncle Guo has shown me great kindness, and Aunt Guo has taught me the principles of being a person since I was young; they have shown me great grace, and now that Uncle Guo is in trouble, I cannot stand by and watch him die!"

"I want to go to Xiangyang City to help Uncle Guo!"

Yang Guo looked at Little Dragon Maiden.

Little Dragon Maiden smiled slightly, as if a hundred flowers were in full bloom.

"Guo'er, wherever you go, I will go!"

……

Southern Song.

Mount Zhongnan.

Quanzhen Sect.

Chongyang Palace.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were looking at the Azure Cloud List in the firmament.

Heavenly Dao phenomenon, the Azure Cloud List appears!

Wudang Sect's Zhang Cuishan was the first to make the list!

With the realm of Grandmaster Rank 8, he left the Seven Masters of Quanzhen in awe!

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen!

The Seven Heroes of Wudang!

Had always been objects of comparison for people in the Jianghu!

Although the two sides had never had any conflict!

However, the Quanzhen Sect and the Wudang Sect were both Daoist sects!
