Chapter 18: Hero Guo, I hope you have been well!

“By the way, how did you all end up together? Also, weren’t you in the Ancient Tomb? Why did you come to Nanyang County?”

Since Li Mochou had disappeared, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were no longer being hunted. The fact that Yang Guo could meet them here was truly destiny!

But Wei Ziqing did not care about that. He cared more about why Yang Guo was here.

When he had left the Ancient Tomb, he had reminded Little Dragon Maiden to be careful of Zhen Zhibing and Ouyang Feng. Could it be that something had actually happened to Little Dragon Maiden, just like in the original story?

Thinking of this, Wei Ziqing suddenly felt a surge of anger and heartache. If that were the case, then Zhen Zhibing, or even the entire Quanzhen Sect, would surely pay in blood!

“Meeting Sister Cheng and the others was purely by chance. As for why I am here…” At this point, a look of difficulty and regret appeared on Yang Guo’s face.

Wei Ziqing saw this, and his expression immediately became gloomy: “Tell me, what exactly happened? Did something happen to your Madam? Tell me clearly!”

Wei Ziqing’s voice sounded angry, and his face became somewhat fierce and frightening.

“You… what are you doing? How can you be so mean? Did Big Brother Yang offend you?” Lu Wushuang’s face turned cold, and she looked at Wei Ziqing with dissatisfaction. How could this person be like this? He was perfectly fine a moment ago, then suddenly turned hostile!

Cheng Ying stood quietly to the side without speaking, but her eyebrows were tightly knitted. Wei Ziqing’s expression made her feel uncomfortable.

“Sister Wushuang, it is okay!” Yang Guo signaled to Lu Wushuang, then looked at Wei Ziqing with confusion: “Brother Wei, have you misunderstood? I secretly ran out of the Ancient Tomb!”

“Secretly ran out?” Wei Ziqing frowned. As he listened to Yang Guo’s explanation, the fierceness on his face slowly disappeared, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

It turned out that half a year ago, Yang Guo had killed a Quanzhen Daoist in the mountains behind the Ancient Tomb. Little Dragon Maiden had discovered this, and Yang Guo felt guilty and dared not face her.

Additionally, because he had a lively and active personality, it was impossible for him to stay in the Ancient Tomb for his whole life. So, while Little Dragon Maiden was not paying attention, he secretly ran down the mountain!

“As long as it’s not that, as long as nothing happened to her!” Wei Ziqing muttered to himself. In this Divine Condor World, she was the only person he could not let go of.

Even though he knew there was no possibility between them, Wei Ziqing still could not reach a state of total indifference.

“It seems the plot has already been changed by me!”

“What?” Yang Guo looked at Wei Ziqing with confusion. Why were Brother Wei’s words so puzzling?

However, remembering his Madam’s unusual reaction during the time Wei Ziqing had left, Yang Guo’s face became full of complex emotions.

“Nothing. Why, are you going to Dasheng Pass?” Wei Ziqing shook his head and asked the three of them.

“Yes. Brother Wei is too, right? Why don’t we go together?” Yang Guo’s eyes held a hint of expectation. To be honest, he had thought Brother Wei was strange at first, but after that time he was given medicine, Yang Guo knew that Brother Wei was not strange, but simply had that kind of personality!

“Dasheng Pass?” He had originally wanted to go to Mount Zhongnan to see her once, but now that Yang Guo had already left the mountain, she might come to Dasheng Pass!

“Fine. In that case, let’s hit the road together!” Wei Ziqing nodded. Yang Guo was used to being lonely; having Yang Guo and the others for company might be a good choice.

…

Dasheng Pass.

The Lu Family Manor, which was usually ordinary, was now bustling with people and exceptionally lively. Countless people from the Wulin gathered here; it could be called a grand feast of heroes.

The strong and bold Guo Jing was greeting everyone. Beside him, the elegant and graceful Huang Rong accompanied Guo Jing with a smile on her face.

Under the green shade in the distance, Wei Ziqing stood with the Azure Light Sword in its sheath on his back, his expression very calm. Beside him, Yang Guo, Lu Wushuang, and Cheng Ying also stood still. However, anyone could tell that Yang Guo’s current state was clearly not good.

After traveling for four or five days, they had finally arrived at the Lu Family Manor in Dasheng Pass.

“Brother Yang, aren’t those Uncle Guo and the others? Why don’t you go and reunite with them?” Cheng Ying’s voice was very pleasant, like a spring breeze in March, gentle and subtle.

“I won’t see them. Uncle Guo might be happy to see me, but some people wish they never had to see me. What’s the point of reuniting?” Yang Guo’s tone was cold. Who else could the “some people” he mentioned be besides Huang Rong?

Wei Ziqing knew the reason behind this, but he did not want to say much.

He did not want to interfere in the matter between Huang Rong and Yang Guo. Some things would naturally come to light when the time was right.

Just as Wei Ziqing wanted to tell Yang Guo and the others to blend into the crowd to enter the Lu Family Manor, his eyes suddenly narrowed. Not only Wei Ziqing, but even Yang Guo’s expression changed, and a murderous aura appeared on his face.

“That group of stinky Daoists from the Quanzhen Sect actually came too!”

Several Quanzhen Sect disciples were riding horses toward them. Leading them were Sun Bu’er and Hao Datong, two of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, and a person Wei Ziqing knew very well: Zhen Zhibing!

A cold glint and killing intent appeared in Wei Ziqing’s eyes. He had no good feelings toward the people of the Quanzhen Sect. Although Qiu Chuji’s palm strike had brought him the blessing of obtaining the Nine Yin Manual and breaking through to the First-Rate Realm, it had also shown him the villainous side of the Quanzhen Sect.

“Brother Wei, what should we do? Are we still going?” Yang Guo looked at Wei Ziqing for guidance.

“Why not go? Can they kill us just because we go there?” A slight, cold smile curled at the corner of Wei Ziqing’s mouth.

A moment ago, he had wanted to enter the Lu Family Manor discreetly to wait for the person who might appear. But now, he no longer chose to be discreet. He wanted to see what the reaction of this group of Quanzhen Sect people would be when they saw him.

After speaking, he stopped hiding and walked directly toward Guo Jing and the others.

“Brother Wei, you…” Yang Guo looked at Wei Ziqing in shock, then gritted his teeth and followed.

Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying looked at each other. They understood even less about what Wei Ziqing wanted to do. He had said he wanted to be low-profile, but he had suddenly become bold!

“Hero Guo, it has been a year. I hope you have been well!”

Guo Jing, who was chatting with Hao Datong and Sun Bu’er, suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked up to respond, but when he saw the person in front of him, he was stunned and couldn’t help but exclaim: “It’s you!”

Guo Jing never expected that the visitor would be him!

Back at the foot of Mount Chongyang, he had met him by chance and recommended him to enter the Quanzhen Sect. He had not expected that he had brought a wolf into the house!

Furthermore, the man had committed the act of betraying and killing his master!

Seeing Guo Jing’s sudden loss of composure, Sun Bu’er and Hao Datong turned around in confusion, wondering who could make the great Hero Guo lose his cool like this. But when they saw the visitor, they were also stunned.

Once Sun Bu’er realized who it was, she became furious. With a clang, the long sword in her hand was drawn, and she glared at the visitor with murderous intent:

“Damn you, Wei Ziqing! You killed my Quanzhen disciples and committed the treacherous act of killing your master, yet you still dare to show your face here!”

The visitor was none other than Wei Ziqing!
