Chapter 24: Heading to Dasheng Pass

~8 min read 1,428 words

"Rampaging through the Northern Desert!"

"Chain Sword!"

"Night Talk at the West Window!"

Yang Guo was furious. Holding a sword in his hand, whether it was the Quanzhen Sword Art or the Jade Maiden Sword Art, he wielded them at this time. The sword moves were smooth and sharp, piercing at Gu Qing one after another.

Gu Qing was in the snow, his body swaying left and turning right, letting Yang Guo's long sword stab rapidly. However, the steps he moved were not large. After learning the Primordial Qi Art, Gu Qing's strength had increased again. At this time, he felt his whole body's internal energy sticking together, and his control over his body had reached an unimaginable degree. Facing Yang Guo's sword moves, he could often use the smallest steps and the most incredible body twists to dodge the sword moves.

After cultivating the Primordial Qi Art, Gu Qing's strength had been refined, and it had undergone a qualitative change compared to before.

In terms of Wu Gong, it was becoming more and more subtle.

"Swish swish swish swish..."

After stabbing more than sixty swords in a row, Yang Guo also felt the increase in Gu Qing's strength. He threw away the sword in his hand resentfully and shouted angrily, "You wait for me! I'm going to Chongyang Palace right now to tell Qiu Chuji that you want to marry Huang Yaoshi's disciple as your wife!"

Yang Guo thought over and over, feeling that Xiaolongnu was so angry this time because Gu Qing complained.

So he must take revenge!

Complaining to Qiu Chuji could also be considered even.

"Hmm hmm!"

Gu Qing nodded and laughed, "If it were yesterday, it would be very troublesome for me if you told Grandmaster Qiu Chuji about this, but now, it's too late, I have already established my own sect."

As long as I run fast enough, the Quanzhen Sect's rules won't catch up with me.

"..."

Yang Guo was speechless for a while, pointing at Gu Qing, thinking about Gu Qing's "flaws". For a while, he really couldn't catch them.

After all, Gu Qing killing Tatars, educating the elder and younger Wu, and telling him his life experience, etc., were all fine in every aspect.

Could it be that he should find Qiu Chuji and say Gu Qing learned Ouyang Feng's Toad Art?

"You wait for me, I will go all out during the martial arts marriage proposal!"

Yang Guo said resentfully.

"Have you ever seen me go all out?"

Gu Qing said deeply.

When the martial arts marriage proposal comes, Gu Qing will go all out to suppress Yang Guo completely!

Yang Guo pointed at Gu Qing twice and said, "Let's wait and see." Yang Guo had already started to prepare for the martial arts marriage proposal with all his might.

Gu Qing smiled and looked at the house with cooking smoke behind. The window there was open, and Xiaolongnu was standing at the window. She had seen the conflict between Gu Qing and Yang Guo just now.

Gu Qing walked up, looked at Xiaolongnu, who was beautiful and flawless, like an immortal, smiled, and said, "Your disciple is going to have a martial arts marriage proposal. Do you, as a master, want to go over and join in the fun?"

If Xiaolongnu was also on the scene, the martial arts marriage proposal would be lively.

Xiaolongnu stared at Gu Qing and suddenly opened her mouth, her voice light, saying, "You just asked my disciple if I want you. I can answer you... No."

Xiaolongnu had seen everything just now, and at this moment, she gave a reply.

"..."

Gu Qing was stiffened by Xiaolongnu's words, feeling embarrassed.

He came to invite Xiaolongnu with a playful attitude, but after being said so by Xiaolongnu, it felt like he was hitting on her.

"Hahahaha..."

After hearing this, Yang Guo laughed out loud.

He saw Gu Qing eating a loss and really couldn't hold it in.

"You have helped me a lot, and I have never had time to thank you."

Xiaolongnu opened her mouth again, saying, "I have made some food just now. Do you want to eat some together?"

Xiaolongnu's voice was emotionless, and the content was far beyond Gu Qing's expectations.... I always thought you were heartless and didn't know how to be grateful.

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, walked into Xiaolongnu's room, looked left and right, and saw that the furnishings in the room were extremely simple: a wooden bed, a set of tables and chairs, and some kitchen utensils. There was no other furniture.

Seeing this, Yang Guo hurriedly followed. Seeing that Xiaolongnu didn't stop him, he was very diligent in going to the stove, serving the food, and plating it.

Gu Qing looked at the crystal fish slices in front of him.

This crystal fish slice was quite popular at the time. It was made by taking a crucian carp, preferably with many scales. It was washed clean of saliva the day before. The next day, it was boiled in clean water and fish in a pot. When the soup turned white, the fish was taken out, the scales were removed, and then the fish meat was put back into the pot, sprinkled with spices, and seasoned with vinegar.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Guo was used to these, picked up the bowl, and ate it.

"So it was always your aunt who was cooking."

Gu Qing said with a hint of surprise.

Gu Qing had sneaked into the Ancient Tomb many times and had also peeked at Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, but he never observed how the two ate. Now seeing Xiaolongnu serving the food, he had an illusion of a goddess descending to earth, and he also felt that he looked at Xiaolongnu with new eyes.

!

"Of course."

Yang Guo said, "Aunt knows many things." Speaking of these, Yang Guo quietly sized up Xiaolongnu, watching Xiaolongnu sitting at another table, without joy or sorrow, silently eating her own food, which made Yang Guo sigh in his heart.

He had feelings for Xiaolongnu in his heart, but Xiaolongnu had always been awe-inspiring and inviolable in his heart. Coupled with the two times she was angry, he didn't dare to make any moves.

"What a pity!"

After drinking the crystal fish slices, Gu Qing said, "I sneaked into the Ancient Tomb so many times, and I was stealing manuals. I actually didn't go to your kitchen to steal anything."

Gu Qing was praising Xiaolongnu's cooking skills.

This made Xiaolongnu, who was eating, choke...

Yang Guo turned his face, looking at Gu Qing, wanting to see how thick Gu Qing's face was, to be able to say such things without changing his expression.

After eating, Yang Guo diligently collected the bowls and chopsticks and went outside to wash them.

"This time, I will go down the mountain with you."

Xiaolongnu suddenly said.

Gu Qing turned his head and looked at Xiaolongnu... because Yang Guo is going to have a martial arts marriage proposal?

But it was exactly what Gu Qing wanted for Xiaolongnu to join in the fun. He nodded, expressing welcome, and said, "After we go down the mountain, we will go to Dasheng Pass first. There is a Hero Assembly there. After participating in the Hero Assembly, we will go to find Huang Yaoshi for the martial arts marriage proposal."

Gu Qing stated all the recent plans.

Gu Qing was able to persuade the Quanzhen Sect to start splitting up, one of which was to go to the Hero Assembly at Dasheng Pass to express it to Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Xiaolongnu nodded gently, simply packed a set of clothes, and packed a bundle. After Yang Guo washed the bowls and chopsticks clean, he watched Xiaolongnu carry the bundle on her back and was dumbfounded.

"Aunt, where are you going?"

Yang Guo asked in shock.

During the time of washing the bowls, Yang Guo had already figured it out. He wouldn't go down the mountain. He would stay here honestly to accompany Xiaolongnu and wait for Xiaolongnu to stop being angry before talking about going down the mountain. As for the martial arts marriage proposal, it didn't matter whether he participated or not.

"Your aunt is going down the mountain with me."

Gu Qing was happy to be lively and said to Yang Guo.

With you?

Yang Guo's gaze turned between the two... You went down the mountain, what about me?

Changed a lot, updated late.
