Looking at the reserved Yang Guo, Ye Qingfeng asked, “What’s your name?”

Yang Guo nervously said, “I… I’m Yang Guo.”

Ye Qingfeng nodded, then asked, “Why are you following me?”

Yang Guo was stunned, unsure how to answer for a moment. He stammered, “I… I…” In his haste, countless thoughts raced through his mind, but he didn’t know how to express them. Suddenly, he knelt before Ye Qingfeng: “I want to learn kung fu from you.”

Since childhood, he had been clever and enjoyed taking shortcuts, with a restless spirit rather than a desire for tranquility. Normally, even when kneeling before Guo Jing and his wife, there was a hint of reluctance. But today, kneeling before Ye Qingfeng, he was sincere, without a trace of falsehood.

It was truly because Ye Qingfeng acted on impulse, unlike the mature Guo Jing. He did things as he pleased, leaving when he wanted, arriving when he came. This style of action made Yang Guo admire him deeply. It was precisely for this reason that he knelt before Ye Qingfeng with heartfelt conviction.

“You want to learn kung fu from me?”

Ye Qingfeng smiled, “Kid, the martial arts of Chongyang Palace are known as the best in the world, the true orthodox sect. You don’t learn from them, but instead learn from me. This is like sitting on a treasure mountain without knowing it, do you know that?”

Yang Guo said, “If their martial arts were truly the best in the world, you wouldn’t have defeated them.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “The reason they were defeated by me is that their aptitude isn’t good, and their martial arts haven’t reached mastery. It’s not that the kung fu they learned is bad. You should know, their patriarch was Wang Chongyang, who was known as the best in the world back then.”

Yang Guo said, “But, I think you’re even more formidable than Wang Chongyang.”

Ye Qingfeng was first stunned by these words, then burst into laughter: “Hahahaha, you kid really know how to flatter. However, the Great Hero Guo who brought you here also has extremely formidable martial arts. Why don’t you learn from him?”

Hearing him mention Guo Jing, Yang Guo immediately looked indignant and said, “Uncle Guo doesn’t care for me, how could he teach me?”

In fact, Guo Jing’s intention in bringing him to Quanzhen Sect for martial arts instruction was out of good will. In the past, Guo Jing had also received teachings from Ma Yu, using the Quanzhen Sect’s mental cultivation method as his foundation, which later led to his rapid advancement. For building a foundation alone, the Quanzhen Sect is, after all, an orthodox Xuanmen sect, and its internal cultivation methods are more stable than any other sect in the world. The only one that can rival the Quanzhen Sect is the Shaolin Sect.

With the Quanzhen mental cultivation method as a foundation, Yang Guo would quickly pick up whatever he learned in the future, which would greatly benefit his future growth. Unfortunately, Yang Guo was still young and lacked foresight, only seeing the surface. He saw Guo Jing wreak havoc when he stormed the mountain, his skills far superior to those of the Taoists of Chongyang Palace. Guo Jing clearly possessed such skills but was unwilling to pass them on to him, instead wanting him to learn from these less skilled Taoists. Thus, he couldn’t help but overthink, feeling that Guo Jing didn’t treat him as well as he treated Da Wu and Xiao Wu, and therefore harbored resentment.

Ye Qingfeng saw his sincerity and couldn’t help but be moved. He said, “Kid, it’s not impossible for you to learn martial arts from me, but Great Hero Guo is your guardian, so we must first inform him of this matter.” As he spoke, he immediately took a deep breath and let out a long roar, his voice rolling like thunder: “Great Hero Guo, your nephew Yang Guo wants to learn martial arts from me. I will bring him to Chongyang Palace tomorrow to discuss this.”

At this time, it was deep into the night, and the mountain was silent. Ye Qingfeng’s internal energy was profound, and his roar reached the mountain peak. Guo Jing, Qiu Chuji, and the others were anxious about Yang Guo’s disappearance when they suddenly heard the sound transmitted from a thousand li away, and they were all startled.

However, since they knew Yang Guo’s whereabouts, it was a relief.

After a moment of discussion, Guo Jing said, “Since that esteemed Ye said he would come, we’ll wait for him tomorrow. He is a master of his generation, with the demeanor of a master. Yang Guo should be safe with him.”

Qiu Chuji, Hao Datong, and Sun Bu’er thought to themselves, “He’s a master, but we’re the bad guys. We got beaten up and have nowhere to complain.” Although they thought this, they knew Guo Jing was honest and certainly didn’t mean to mock Chongyang Palace, so they didn’t take it to heart. Instead, they pondered a bit more: “Have my Quanzhen disciples really been so unruly lately?”

Ye Qingfeng naturally did not know these people’s thoughts.

After transmitting his voice for a thousand li, he took Yang Guo to Xiaoyaofeng’s Listening Snow Cave.

Xiaoyaofeng is next to Zu’an Peak, also one of the main peaks of Mount Zhongnan. Listening Snow Cave is a karst cave on Xiaoyaofeng. In his previous life, when Ye Qingfeng traveled the world, he had been to Xiaoyaofeng, so he knew of such a place. He just didn’t know if the Listening Snow Cave was occupied at the moment. If it was, there might be some complications.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

Fortunately, although there were signs of people having lived in Listening Snow Cave, it had been abandoned for a long time, which saved a lot of trouble.

The two quickly tidied up and settled down there.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, as dawn just broke, after a quick meal of dry rations, Ye Qingfeng took Yang Guo up to Chongyang Palace.

With yesterday’s experience, no one dared to stop them this time.

…Please give flowers…

When the two arrived at Chongyang Palace, the sky was already bright, and Guo Jing and Qiu Chuji and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Ye Qingfeng didn’t stand on ceremony and said directly, “Great Hero Guo, your nephew wants to learn martial arts from me. What do you think?”

Guo Jing looked at Yang Guo and asked, “Guo’er, is that true?”

Yang Guo nodded and said, “Uncle Guo, I don’t want to learn martial arts at Chongyang Palace. None of them are as good as you, but you refuse to teach me. This master’s martial arts are even better than yours, so I want to become his disciple. After I graduate, I’ll go to Peach Blossom Island to find you.”

Just as Guo Jing was about to speak, Qiu Chuji suddenly yelled, “Guo’er, are you also going to betray your master and destroy your ancestors?”

He had accepted Yang Kang as a disciple in the past, but in the end, he had taught a great traitor who recognized a thief as his father. After Yang Kang’s death, he often reflected on this, feeling that he, as a master, bore a great responsibility. Now that Guo Jing had brought Yang Guo up the mountain, he already had the idea of atoning for his past mistakes. He never expected that Yang Guo would actually want to become someone else’s disciple, and that person was the one who had beaten them up yesterday. How could he not be angry?

……….0

Yang Guo heard this, and with an indignant expression, said, “You old Taoist are so unreasonable. I haven’t even joined the Quanzhen Sect, so how can you say I’m betraying my master and destroying my ancestors? Also, it’s my freedom to choose who I want to be my master. What does it have to do with you?”

Guo Jing quickly shouted, “Guo’er, don’t be rude. Daoist Qiu is your father’s teacher.”

Yang Guo immediately fell silent, but he was quite unconvinced in his heart.

Ye Qingfeng spoke, “Great Hero Guo, Yang Guo is a very clever child, and I like him very much. You traveled thousands of miles to send him to the Quanzhen Sect, wasn’t it because you hoped he would become talented? Why don’t we make an agreement? I will teach this child for five years. After five years, he won’t be old, and if I haven’t been able to train him into a talent, it won’t be too late for the Quanzhen Sect to take over.”

Before Guo Jing could speak, Qiu Chuji interjected, “No, Yang Guo cannot…”

“Shut up!”

Ye Qingfeng interrupted, “Old Daoist Qiu, don’t you know how good you are at teaching people? Others may not know your deeds, but I know them clearly. I won’t mention them in front of Yang Guo, so as not to embarrass you. Look at your Quanzhen Sect disciples, what have they been taught into? Each of them is arrogant and overbearing, relying on the leftover prestige of Wang Chongyang to act like a fox borrowing the tiger’s might. If such disciples are let out, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause. I think you should first teach these disciples well before saying anything else.”
