Chapter 288: Yang Guang is too sensitive

Inside the large ship *Fragrant Number*.

Gu Qing and Shan Dan Meixian sat opposite each other. Under Gu Qing's scrutinizing gaze, Shan Dan Meixian faintly stated her purpose.

"Grand Tutor Gu is the number one expert in the world, and his appearance is also very handsome. Dan Meixian naturally likes him, but compared to love, Dan Meixian has more resentment in her heart."

Shan Dan Meixian said, "Dan Meixian wants to win over the Queen of Yin."

In terms of martial arts, Shan Dan Meixian was naturally not the Queen of Yin's opponent, but in terms of beauty, Shan Dan Meixian felt there was still a chance.

Gu Qing reached out his hand gently, pinched Shan Dan Meixian's plump face, and said, "Then let's see if you can seize the opportunity."

The current Zhu Wang Yuyan had mastered the Dao Heart Planting Demonic Art, the bed skills of the Dream Caiyun Xianzi, the Heavenly Demon Art, the Coquettish Woman Art, and the Yoga Secret Vehicle. She could be said to be Gu Qing's best plaything. Therefore, Zhu Wang Yuyan was jealous and glared at Shi Shi Feixuan, Wan Wan, etc., and Gu Qing let her be, treating it as fun.

Shan Dan Meixian leaned forward and said coquettishly, "Dan Meixian will not let the Grand Tutor down." After saying that, she leaned into Gu Qing's neck and took a deep breath. This Dao Heart Planting Demonic Art contained the power to make people feel emotional, and Shan Dan Meixian would also be affected.

Gu Qing's brows relaxed slightly, and he let out a long breath.

The Eastern Sea Sect's *Fragrant Number* traveled on the Yangtze River, contacting many forces along the way for business. Gu Qing operated the Dao Heart Planting Demonic Art on this ship every day, making progress every day.

On this day, Gu Qing was blowing the wind at the bow of the ship, and suddenly saw commotion everywhere on the many boats traveling on the Grand Canal. Two figures were jumping at will on the many boats. The lightness skill they operated was actually the Bird-Crossing Technique of Yun Yun Yuzhen of the Giant Whale Gang. And behind them, a large number of people were chasing and killing them. The man in the lead had a wide nose and narrow, long eyes, chasing the fastest.

"It's your two disciples."

Shi Shi Feixuan knew that Gu Qing had taken Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling as disciples. Seeing the two running in front, she looked at the back and said, "The one chasing and killing them is Yuwen Chengdu of the Yuwen Clan... Yuwen Yuwen Huaji is really doing his job."

Back on the Yangtze River, Gu Qing met Yuwen Yuwen Huaji and told Yuwen Yuwen Huaji that he had two disciples, asking him to help polish them. Now that this Yuwen Clan expert was chasing and killing the two, it could be considered polishing.

"The one who refuses to waste food?"

Gu Qing looked at Yuwen Chengdu, unable to help but bring a smile.

"Master!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling had sharp eyes, saw Gu Qing on the *Fragrant Number*, and wanted to call for help, but saw Gu Qing standing at the bow of the ship, quietly watching the two running away in a mess, with no intention of helping. At this moment, the two looked at each other, knowing that Gu Qing was testing their martial arts.

Yuwen Chengdu's fists and palms slashed, the fist was real, the palm was false, one blasted, one shrouded. Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling turned around suddenly, their lightness skills slippery, one jumped up, one drilled down, each making moves. While breaking free from the restraint, they also handed moves to Yuwen Chengdu.

The moves the two applied were all the seventeen human body shapes taught by Gu Qing, belonging to the martial arts embryo. But when applied, in Yuwen Chengdu's eyes, they were extremely tricky. He felt that many vital points on his body were shrouded, and the infinite follow-up moves contained made him bound hand and foot. This distraction allowed Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling to slip past. When Xu Xu Ziling drilled down, he even took the opportunity to hit Yuwen Chengdu's leg. Although it hurt but didn't hurt, his face was lost.

"You two stinky brats!"

Yuwen Chengdu was furious. He was sent by Yuwen Yuwen Huaji to chase and kill the two and polish them. He had many opportunities to take them down, but it was this strange kung fu, applied over and over again, that could produce some new tricks every time, making Yuwen Chengdu go from cat playing with mice at the beginning to sweating a bit now.

Yuwen Chengdu suppressed his true Qi and clashed with Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling again. After applying the Yuwen family's martial arts, Kou and Xu were one steady and one light, circling with Yuwen Chengdu, punching and kicking, dodging, and in Yuwen Chengdu's repeated moves, forcing the two into a desperate situation several times, both could frequently produce new moves to crack them.

In *Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty*, the ones with the best martial arts aptitude were Kou and Xu. At this time, under repeated pursuit, Kou and Xu's martial arts were becoming mature, merging many insights along the way into their moves. Now, in the comparison of moves, Yuwen Chengdu was not as good as Kou and Xu.

This made Yuwen Chengdu lose even more face, and he launched a series of rapid attacks. Under the heavy pressure, Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling had long since grasped the "Heart Method of the Moon in the Well," their minds clear and serene. After Yuwen Chengdu became extremely enraged, the two parried his strikes, then moved left and right, landing blows on Yuwen Chengdu's body with a *crack*. These two strikes did not injure Yuwen Chengdu; instead, the force rebounded, causing Kou and Xu's arms to ache intensely. Knowing things were dire and not daring to linger in battle, they seized this opportunity to fly toward the *Piaoxiang*.

"Energy Absorption Art!"

Gu Qing reached out, and Kou and Xu, who were jumping in mid-air, and even Yuwen Chengdu, who wanted to chase, flew up and landed on the *Fragrant Number* together.

"Master!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling hurriedly bowed, and Yuwen Chengdu behind them saw this and hurriedly called him Grand Tutor.

"Not bad, your martial arts progress is not small."

Gu Qing praised the two and asked, "Where did your Bird-Crossing Technique come from?"

Kou and Xu were happy to hear Gu Qing's praise. After hearing about the Bird-Crossing Technique, they hurriedly said, "When Yuwen Yuwen Huaji was chasing us, we were in a desperate situation and met a beautiful gang leader. She really took action, saved us, and taught us lightness skills."

Gu Qing nodded, guessing that Yun Yun Yuzhen had received news from somewhere, judged that Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling were Gu Qing's disciples, so she took action to help and taught them martial arts.

"Master, Yuwen Yuwen Huaji has been going against us since arriving in Jiangdu, and even let this Yuwen Chengdu chase us."

Kou and Xu were very slippery. After telling the old story, they immediately came to complain.

Yuwen Chengdu behind them was submissive and said nothing.

"I let him polish you."

Gu Qing said, "If it weren't for his repeated pursuit, how could your martial arts progress so fast?"

Kou and Xu were greatly astonished to hear this. They looked back at Yuwen Chengdu and thought about the pursuit along the way, several times narrowly escaping death. It turned out that the other party was intentionally letting them go.

"Master, this... this..."

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling had bitter faces. After Gu Qing taught them kung fu, they wanted to show off in Yangzhou and even established a gang, but Yuwen Yuwen Huaji's inexplicable targeting made them like stray dogs. Along the way, they hated Yuwen Yuwen Huaji to death, but they didn't expect Yuwen Yuwen Huaji to be one of their own.

"You two have been practicing martial arts for too short a time. If you want to achieve something in a short time, you must go through bitter battles."

Gu Qing said calmly, "My strength was also practiced from bitter battles."

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling could only listen obediently and retreat to one side, their gazes scanning casually. They saw the upper deck of the *Fragrant Number* was full of beautiful women. Xu Xu Ziling's gaze looked at Shi Shi Feixuan, while Kou Zhong saw the enthusiastic and noble Li Li Xiuning.

Gu Qing looked at Yuwen Chengdu and said, "I see you chased and killed them with all your might. Is there anything you want?"

Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly bowed and said, "Chengdu also wants to worship Grand Tutor Gu as his teacher."

"Say something else."

Gu Qing also looked at aptitude and achievements when accepting disciples. This Yuwen Chengdu looked like an expert in the Yuwen Clan, but his achievements were already limited, and his thinking was too mixed. Even if he taught top-notch unique skills, it would be difficult to reach the supreme level.

Accepting Yuwen Chengdu as a disciple would make Gu Qing feel ashamed.

Yuwen Chengdu didn't dare to force it and said, "Then please ask Grand Tutor Gu to teach me three or two moves, so that Chengdu can benefit for a lifetime."

"Okay." Gu Qing knew many martial arts and immediately said, "I can teach you the Da Mo Internal Energy and the Great Strength Vajra Finger. What achievements you can have depends on yourself."

In *World's Number One*, there was a character named Luo Jusheng, who was sworn brothers with Cao Duan Zhengchun, tested the Iron-Gall God Marquis with Da Mo Internal Energy, and even fought against Cheng Shifei with the Great Strength Vajra Finger, and even injured Cheng Shifei. Such martial arts were enough for Yuwen Chengdu.

"Thank you, Grand Tutor!"

Yuwen Chengdu was overjoyed. Being able to be taught martial arts by Gu Qing, Yuwen Chengdu's face was already lifted when walking in the Jianghu in the future, and his right to speak in the Yuwen Clan would be heavier.

"By the way."

Yuwen Chengdu recalled something and hurriedly reported to Gu Qing, saying, "In Daxing, the muddled emperor is very dissatisfied with the Grand Tutor."

Because Yang Guang was dissatisfied with Gu Qing, Yuwen Chengdu directly called him the stupid emperor.

"What happened to him again?"

Gu Qing felt inexplicable.

Yuwen Chengdu reported immediately, saying, "In the final analysis, it's the Baling Gang. This Baling Gang has a deep relationship with the Demonic Sect, but its surface backer is the stupid emperor. Yang Guang uses the Baling Gang to gather women from all over the world, either selling them into brothels or keeping them for his own use. Recently, because of Grand Tutor Gu, the Baling Gang has suffered heavy losses, making Yang Guang furious in Daxing, and even said..."

!

Yuwen Chengdu didn't dare to say.

"Speak!"

Gu Qing shouted.

Yuwen Chengdu then said, "Yang Guang also said that the Grand Tutor is lustful, taking many women to travel south and north. This Grand Canal seems to have been dug for the Grand Tutor."

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling looked around, seeing Shi Shi Feixuan, Wan Wan, Dugu Feng, Li Li Xiuning, and Shan Mu Wanjing, all of whom were peerless beauties, and then the two silently lowered their heads.

"I traveled on the Yangtze River, not much on the Grand Canal!"

Gu Qing refuted sharply.

Yang Guang was lovesick.

Yuwen Chengdu stopped talking, and Gu Qing waved his hand to let him retreat.

"Grand Tutor."

Li Li Xiuning served tea, came to Gu Qing's side, sat down affectionately, and said, "There is a difference between lust and lust. Like us, we like the Grand Tutor's color. We are in love with each other, and it doesn't hinder others. But the stupid emperor manipulates the Baling Gang, causing disaster to the women of the world, which is a great sin."

After Zhu Wang Yuyan left, Shan Dan Meixian treated people generously, and Li Li Xiuning dared to lean on Gu Qing's side.

Kou Zhong stared at Li Li Xiuning. Now looking at Li Li Xiuning's beautiful figure leaning on Gu Qing's side, her eyes full of love, her face smiling, her heart and eyes full of Gu Qing, he felt a sense of loss for a while.

"I went to Jiangdu to take a Long Life Formula, delaying Yang Guang's quest for immortality, and took a few beauties. Yang Guang felt that I was contacting clans, attacking evil forces in the Jianghu, and met Yang Guang again."

Gu Qing spread his hands and said, "I really can't do anything about Yang Guang."

Yang Guang had too many sensitive points, he could only kill him.

Everyone was speechless. Gu Qing was the pillar of stability for the Sui Dynasty, but also the biggest threat to Yang Guang. If Yang Guang were a monarch like Liu Shan, hugging his thigh would naturally be fine. But Yang Guang had his own ideas, which made contradictions inevitable between the two.

"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling."

Gu Qing ordered his two disciples, "You two get off the boat immediately, go to Lingnan Song Clan, and rely on Song Que. By then, Kou Zhong, you will be trained by Song Que. As for Xu Ziling, you go to the Heavenly Master Sect."

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling had been polished enough, the next step was advanced studies.

"Where is the Heavenly Master Sect?"

Xu Xu Ziling asked.

Recently, Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling traveled in the Jianghu and knew that the experts in the world included the Heavenly Blade Song Que. But now Gu Qing let Kou Zhong follow Song Que and let Xu Xu Ziling go to a Heavenly Master Sect, which was quite strange.

"The Heavenly Master Sect is a place where even Song Que would go to learn."

Gu Qing said lightly.

Song Que relied on the *Legend of the Frontier* passed down by his ancestors, as well as the Supreme Yang and Supreme Yin explained by Gu Qing, to know the upper limit of martial arts, shattering the void and flying to immortality. Naturally, he wanted to pursue the power of Supreme Yang and Supreme Yin. Among them, the Yellow Heaven Art of the Heavenly Master Sect, when practiced to the extreme, could enter the Supreme Yang and Infinite, with the whole body's power connected to heaven and earth, endless.

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling nodded in understanding. As their martial arts practice deepened, Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling also had conflicts in their ideals. Kou Zhong wanted to stand out, while Xu Xu Ziling wanted to retire to famous mountains and rivers. Now one followed Song Que, and one went to the Heavenly Master Sect, which could be considered fulfilling their wishes.

"You two practice well. There is still a long way to go in martial arts."

Gu Qing added.

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling had three great encounters in the original work, one of which was the Long Life Formula, the second was the He Shi Bi opening the meridians, and the third was the Evil Emperor Relic overflowing with essence. With Gu Qing here, the latter two encounters might not have anything to do with them. And if Kou and Xu wanted to achieve great martial arts and internal energy, it would probably be thirty years later.

Kou Zhong and Xu Xu Ziling bowed to Gu Qing, then honestly got off the boat, turned around, looked at the *Fragrant Number* getting farther away, Kou Zhong clenched his fist and said, "I must stand out like Master, and never let anyone look down on me."

Li Li Xiuning, this noble woman, looked at Gu Qing from beginning to end, and didn't even look at Kou Zhong, which made Kou Zhong hold his breath. He also wanted to stand out.

"Zhong Shao, that is Master's woman."

Xu Xu Ziling knew Kou Zhong's thoughts and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Of course I know that is Master's woman, but she is arrogant..."

Kou Zhong looked at Xu Xu Ziling and said, "Shi Shi Feixuan has been following Master, mostly she is also Master's woman. I saw you secretly looking at people several times too."

We two brothers don't talk about each other.

Xu Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "The Caiyun Xianzi Shi is different."
