Chapter 264: Guo Jing

~8 min read 1,452 words

"Then I shall respectfully obey. I am Guo Jing, and this is my wife, Mu Nianci. May I ask how to address you, Young Master?"

The square-faced man introduced himself to Lin Fan and the others.

Hearing his introduction, Lin Fan and the women were somewhat stunned. Lin Fan and Huang Rong had the biggest changes in expression; one had snatched Guo Jing's woman, and the other should have been Guo Jing's woman.

"Your name is Guo Jing, your father is Guo Xiaotian, and Mu Nianci's foster father is Yang Tiexin?"

Lin Fan asked uncertainly.

"May I ask how you know the background of my husband and me?"

Hearing this, Guo Jing looked at Lin Fan with a look of astonishment.

"This is my brother-in-law, Master Tianji Young Master Lin Fan. He naturally calculated it by measuring the heavenly secrets!"

Azi walked over and said playfully.

"So it is the Master Tianji Young Master in person. While wandering the Wu Lin, I have often heard of Young Master Lin's prestige, and my masters have also spoken highly of you!"

"The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan also speak highly of me? That is indeed rare!"

"Yes, my masters often use Young Master Lin as an example to educate me!"

Guo Jing smiled honestly.

Lin Fan looked at Guo Jing and Mu Nianci. They had ended up as a pair, so what about Yang Kang? Who would he have Yang Guo with? This was truly a chaotic Comprehensive Martial Arts world; he didn't even dare to imagine it.

However, Mu Nianci being with Guo Jing was better than being with Yang Kang. Yang Kang was the type to play and discard, while Guo Jing was devoted to his feelings. In this way, Mu Nianci's fate was better than her tragic life in the original story.

Fortunately, Mu Nianci only had the appearance of a delicate beauty; otherwise, if his "Cao Thief" heart flared up and he snatched away Lady Guo, what would he do?

"Speaking of which, I can be considered to have done you a favor."

Lin Fan suddenly thought of someone and said with a smile.

"This? Ah, indeed, there is the favor of a meal. Guo Jing is deeply grateful!"

Guo Jing frowned and thought for a moment, unable to figure out how Young Master Lin had suddenly done him a favor.

Mu Nianci nudged him with her elbow, signaling him to look at the roasted rabbit, and Guo Jing suddenly realized.

"What kind of favor is that? I am talking about the culprit who caused your father's tragic death and forced your mother to wander the desert with you!"

Lin Fan shook his head and explained.

"Duan Tiande? Where is he?"

Guo Jing's eyes lit up. Before his mother passed away, she had told him never to forget his father's murderer, Duan Tiande, and to find him to take revenge.

"He has already died by my hand—or to be precise, he died at the hands of my woman, Mo Chou!"

"Young Master Lin's great kindness, Guo Jing will never forget!"

Guo Jing made a move to kneel, but Lin Fan waved his hand, sending out a stream of True Qi that lifted him up.

"Duan Tiande happened to run into me while chasing Mo Chou; it can be considered a coincidence!"

"Regardless, Young Master Lin can be considered to have avenged my father. In the future, if you have any orders, Guo Jing will go through fire and water to complete them for you."

This kid Guo Jing was still honest. He truly achieved the status of a great hero who serves the country and the people. Lin Fan couldn't do it himself, but that didn't stop him from appreciating Guo Jing.

However, since Huang Rong had been snatched away by him, where would Guo Jing learn the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, the Nine Yin Manual, and the Left-Right Mutual Combat technique?

With mediocre Wu Gong, even if his original intentions and thoughts hadn't changed, could he still grow into the renowned Hero Guo?

Guo Jing was honest, or even dull. The Seven Freaks of the Wu Lin didn't know how to teach disciples, dumping the Wu Gong of seven people onto him at once, causing him to know everything but master nothing. It was only because Ma Yu ran to the desert and taught him the Quanzhen internal energy for two years that he built a foundation; otherwise, Guo Jing would probably only be a second or third-rate martial artist, not the peak first-rate he was now.

Unfortunately, this was still not enough. In this vast Wu Lin, one had to be at least a Grandmaster to have a place.

"Since we met today, it is fate. I will teach you a set of Wu Gong!"

Lin Fan's heart stirred. His "gift-giving boy" heart flared up, and he prepared to teach Guo Jing a set of Wu Gong.

He always did things as he pleased; if he wanted to teach, he would teach.

"Young Master Lin has already done me a great favor by avenging my father. How could I dare to covet the benefactor's Wu Gong?"

Guo Jing could be quite pedantic at times.

"Then I will order you to learn it well in the capacity of your benefactor!"

"Watch closely. This is 'Kangaroo Dragon Repents', 'Flying Dragon in the Sky', 'Seeing Dragon in the Field', 'Hidden Dragon Do Not Use'..."

Lin Fan performed the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms for Guo Jing. Guo Jing watched with longing, but unfortunately, he was relatively dull, and even the first move, "Kangaroo Dragon Repents", he only understood half of.

"The benefactor has good intentions, but Guo Jing is naturally dull and may fail the benefactor's good intentions."

Guo Jing felt very guilty. The benefactor taught him a divine art, and he couldn't understand it; he truly deserved to die.

"It doesn't matter. Diligence can make up for clumsiness; the slow bird should fly first. I believe you will eventually learn it. This is the manual for the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, and it also contains some annotations I made. Take it and practice more in the future!"

"Many thanks, benefactor!"

Guo Jing's eyes turned red with emotion. Apart from his mother, no one had ever treated him so well.

"Don't practice the Wu Gong of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan anymore. Not to mention how their Wu Gong is, just having you collect the strengths of seven families is unreliable. They don't use their brains to think—with your aptitude, do you have the ability to learn multiple Wu Gong at the same time? In the future, focus on cultivating the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms I taught you. Greed for more leads to poor digestion!"

"Many thanks for the benefactor's instruction, Guo Jing will remember it!"

Guo Jing scratched his head. He also felt that his seven masters were thinking a bit too much. With his aptitude and comprehension, it would be good if he could practice one Wu Gong well; he had no time to practice others.

However, as a disciple, it wasn't easy for him to speak ill of his masters, so he could only silently accept it.

After eating, Guo Jing and Mu Nianci said their goodbyes and left.

After they left, Huang Rong suddenly jumped onto Lin Fan's back, hugged his neck, and asked.

"Why was Brother Fan so good to Guo Jing, actually teaching him a peerless divine art?"

"Because I took something very precious from him. This thing will change his life, so this can be considered compensation!"

"Is that thing very important? Then why don't you return it to him?"

Huang Rong lay on Lin Fan's back, poked her head in front of Lin Fan, tilted her head, and blinked her eyes as she asked.

Lin Fan only felt that there were stars in Huang Rong's eyes, but he didn't think much of it, only saying gently, "It can't be returned. That thing is even more important to me, so it's impossible for me to return it to him!"

"Hee hee, I love Brother Fan the most!"

Huang Rong kissed Lin Fan's cheek lightly, then got off Lin Fan's back and ran around like a happy lark.

Lin Fan looked at the unusual Huang Rong with some confusion, but didn't think much of it. It couldn't be that Huang Rong knew she was originally supposed to be Lady Guo but had been snatched away by him, right?

"Young Master, where should we go next?"

Lv He walked up to Lin Fan and asked.

"Wherever we go is where we arrive. Without a destination, there is no terminal station."

"Which imperial dynasty is the closest to us?" ===== CHAPTER 266 =====
