Chapter 37

The Heroic Assembly had just ended, and many Jianghu heroes were still near Dashan Pass, waiting for Guo Jing to operate the "Resist Mongols and Protect the Nation Alliance." The Lu Family Manor was just as noisy as ever. Gu Qing gathered there, watching Peng Zhanglao being collected for burial. When he returned to the Lu Family Manor, he heard what sounded like an argument inside, and vaguely heard Guo Fu's voice.

This made Gu Qing's gossiping heart rise, and he hurriedly gathered outside the courtyard.

"Sister Fu, where did you go early this morning? Why did you come back with Yang Guo?"

"I saw a fun place yesterday..."

The two Wu brothers were entangled with Guo Fu there.

Guo Fu had just experienced turmoil and was very impatient at this moment, repeatedly wanting to drive these two people away.

"Sister Fu, I heard that Master intends to betroth you to Yang Guo. You are fickle-minded, did you have thoughts about Yang Guo?"

Wu Wu Xiuwen shouted angrily.

Ever since Yang Guo returned, he had been highly valued by Guo Jing. Guo Fu also often took Yang Guo out to play. With rumors of a marriage contract between the Guo and Yang families, Wu Wu Xiuwen and Wu Wu Dunru were already anxious. Now seeing that Guo Fu did not give them a good look, they were even more anxious, wishing that Guo Fu would immediately name someone and settle their feelings.

"Whether I have thoughts or not has nothing to do with you!"

Guo Fu slammed the door shut inside.

After the two Wu brothers were shut out, both of them were red-faced and walked out angrily. Just past the corner of the wall, they saw Gu Qing standing there, which made their footsteps pause... Was what they just said to Sister Fu overheard by someone?

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Qing would not feel embarrassed. He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Guo Fu doesn't have thoughts about me!"

Gu Qing was just passing by, incidentally eating a melon.

Wu Wu Dunru and Wu Wu Xiuwen were so angry that they took a breath. If they couldn't beat Gu Qing, they would have fought him.

Walking past the two Wu brothers, Gu Qing walked toward Xiaolongnu's courtyard on his own.

"Miss Long."

Gu Qing went up to knock on the door and said: "I'm here to return your Jade Bee Needles."

Xiaolongnu was naturally not fond of excitement and was indifferent to many things. Things like rushing to save Guo Fu were meaningless to Xiaolongnu. Gu Qing knew her personality, so he had not invited Xiaolongnu before. Now that he was back, he came to say hello.

"Don't want them."

Xiaolongnu's voice was indifferent.

"I know you don't want the Jade Bee Needles that have pierced people."

Gu Qing said: "So I am returning a hundred times more Jade Bee Needles that have never pierced anyone."

Hearing that he was returning a hundred times more, Xiaolongnu opened the door. Under the sunlight, Xiaolongnu's form was as brilliant as spring flowers, her eyebrows slightly knitted, and she reached out to Gu Qing, letting Gu Qing return the Jade Bee Needles.

Gu Qing reached out, lifted Golden Wheel Dharma King's gold wheel and iron wheel separately, and placed them on Xiaolongnu's hand.

These two wheels were thrown out by Jinlun Jinlun Fawang at the end. Seeing that Jinlun Jinlun Fawang didn't want them, Gu Qing picked them up.

Xiaolongnu saw that the Jade Bee Needles were two wheels, and she withdrew her hand.

"Jade Bee Needles are made of six parts gold and four parts refined steel, and then refined with the poison of the Ancient Tomb's jade bees."

Gu Qing knew the affairs of the Ancient Tomb Sect very well and said: "Jinlun Jinlun Fawang's gold wheel and iron wheel put together are enough to forge a hundred times the Jade Bee Needles. Don't worry, I will find someone to forge the Jade Bee Needles."

At this time, there were already some workshops for making needles, and even more skilled craftsmen. As long as you found the right craftsman and let him use the Ancient Tomb's process sequence, it would not be difficult to make a set of Jade Bee Needles.

"That would be best."

Xiaolongnu looked at the two wheels and responded: "The needles left by the Ancestor Granny were not many to begin with..."

Gu Qing was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of an argument. After the two Wu brothers were shut out by Guo Fu, they came to find trouble with Yang Guo.

Before, Wu Wu Dunru and Wu Wu Xiuwen admitted that Yang Guo's martial arts were stronger, but after being slapped a few times by Gu Qing, the two Wu brothers had turned over a new leaf for a long time. During these days, they had been diligently practicing martial arts and had received guidance from Zhu Zhu Ziliu of Dali, believing that they were no longer inferior to Yang Guo.

Xiaolongnu heard that it involved Yang Guo, but did not go out first. Instead, she looked at Gu Qing, her eyes asking for the truth.

Early this morning, Xiaolongnu knew about Gu Qing and Yang Guo going to save Guo Fu. Now she wanted to ask which joint had gone wrong.

"Just fighting for favor."

Gu Qing summarized briefly.

Whether Yang Guo really likes Guo Fu, there is a lot of debate about it.

But whether Guo Fu likes Yang Guo, there is no dispute about that.

Although Guo Fu only realized her own heart until the end, by peeling the cocoon, one can see many of Guo Fu's entanglements.

For example, after Yang Guo and Guo Fu reunited, Guo Fu had a different attitude toward Yang Guo. Until Guo Jing proposed marriage and Yang Guo caused a scene, Guo Fu began to be irritable toward Yang Guo. Even after receiving the life-saving grace of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, she had no gratitude at all.

In the section where Guo Fu chopped off Yang Guo's arm, Guo Fu ran to Yang Guo and asked how the matter of Yang Guo saying he would marry her would end. It seemed like questioning, but in fact, she was looking at Yang Guo's attitude. But Yang Guo had an attitude of admitting mistakes but not taking responsibility, which made Guo Fu start questioning where Guo Xiang had gone, and then attacked Xiaolongnu. In the end, the two could not end it.

Now Guo Fu had been saved by Yang Guo again, which might have stirred up Guo Fu's thoughts and made her impression of Yang Guo even deeper.

Gu Qing and Xiaolongnu left the courtyard and walked into the locust forest outside the Lu Family Manor. This place had held the Beggar Sect's succession ceremony before, and Peng Zhanglao was also slaughtered here. Now that there was an empty space, the two Wu brothers wanted to compete with Yang Guo here.

"Why bother."

Yang Guo was helplessly held by these two people and said: "We have no grudges."

"Let's just decide who is better!"

The two Wu brothers kept pestering.

"Yang Guo, give them both a lesson!"

Guo Fu hurried over and said shamefully: "Both of them have lost their minds!"

Several people were entangled there.

Gu Qing stood there watching the fun, and inadvertently looked at Xiaolongnu. He reached out slightly to grab Xiaolongnu's hand. Xiaolongnu was caught off guard and was grabbed by Gu Qing. She struggled a little, but Gu Qing saw that Xiaolongnu's struggle was not great, so he held it tightly.

Xiaolongnu looked at Gu Qing, and a look of shame appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Qing wanted to let go.

"It seems I came at a bad time."

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came, cool and clear, mixed with sweetness.

To Gu Qing, this voice was like being stabbed in the back. While holding Xiaolongnu's hand, he turned his face in a daze and saw a woman standing behind him, dressed in green, wearing a human-skin mask on her face, with a smile in her voice.

Cheng Ying had arrived!

"Slap!"

Yang Guo clapped his hands excitedly. In the entanglement, he saw Gu Qing holding Xiaolongnu's hand and was about to come up, but now, Yang Guo just wanted Gu Qing to hold Xiaolongnu's hand and let Cheng Ying see it well.

This excitement suddenly turned to Gu Qing.

"No, you came at just the right time!"

If I die, I die!

Gu Qing reached out to Cheng Ying from afar.
