Chapter 273

"What kind of Young Master is he!"

"To think he could actually make this young lady waste her whole life?"

No matter what Su Hang said, Guo Xiang certainly did not believe this line of talk.

After all, she was now eighteen or nineteen years old and was no longer a simple-minded young girl.

Having traveled the Jianghu for these years, Guo Xiang had seen many young masters from noble dynasties, but looking at them overall, there were truly few who could catch her eye.

The Northern Liang Heir Xu Fengnian was too much of a playboy; although he had ambition and supreme intelligence, he was too conceited, even to the point of narcissism.

Although Xu Fengnian had the highest popularity, in the eyes of the young Guo Xiang, his life could be summed up in two words: "posing."

And Guo Xiang naturally did not like people who posed; she didn't like them in the past, she didn't like them now, and she wouldn't like them in the future.

As for Song Qingshu, she was even less interested.

After all, the reputation of the Young Sect Leader had spread throughout the Jianghu; how could Guo Xiang not know of it?

She had long despised the Young Sect Leader's conduct and had already made up her mind: she would rather die than submit.

Besides Xu Fengnian and the Young Sect Leader,

Guo Xiang knew more or less about young masters like Gusu Murong Fu and Zhang Wuji, but in short, none of them were to her taste...

It was precisely because of this that, now at eighteen or nineteen, Guo Xiang's marriage had not yet been decided.

She did not believe there was any young master in this Jianghu who could make her waste her life for him!

Su Hang said:

"This young master is handsome, possesses high Wu Gong, and has spent many years upholding justice in the Jianghu; everyone in the world respects him..."

"In fact, when you meet this young master, he is already nearly forty years old."

"But there is no helping it; among all the young masters in the world, you want none of them, yet you insist on him alone."

"For his sake, you can even let go of everything."

"However, although you are willing to give everything for him, this young master does not think so."

"At first, in order not to offend you, he only says he treats you as a younger sister."

"But you don't buy this at all, and in desperation, he can only hide from you."

"And the most fatal part is, this hiding lasts for sixteen years!"

"During these sixteen years, in order to find him, you reach a point of near madness."

"You have been to the East Sea, the Western Regions, Southern Yue, and the Northern lands; time and again you searched Mount Zhongnan, yet you never found the slightest trace of this young master."

"You think of nothing else, care for nothing else, and your heart is set only on this young master."

"In the end, sixteen years pass, and you still have nothing to show for it."

"That year, you are already thirty-five."

"But given your temperament, you still do not accept your fate, you still refuse to admit defeat, and you roam the world again, wanting to find him."

"But the second time, you are disappointed again!"

"By the time you finally wake up to reality, you are already forty years old."

"At forty, you are no longer a young lady, but a grandmother!"

"Your heart is filled with resentment and anger; at that time, you are no longer the girl everyone loved, but clearly an old, bitter woman who cannot get married."

"And so, at forty, you have no choice but to accept your fate..."

"In your later years, you are alone and helpless, incomparably desolate."

"You hate the person who deceived you, and you hate all men in the world."

"Not long after, you establish a sect and set down an ancestral rule: disciples in the sect must treat men as enemies."

"If a disciple violates the sect rules and has an affair with a man, the Sect Leader may execute them directly."

"Therefore, in the later Jianghu, if one asks which sect holds the greatest hatred for men,"

"It must be the one founded by Miss Guo Xiang..."

"And this young master is your parents' good nephew—Yang Guo..."
