Chapter 147 Choice
Hong Qigong came and went in a hurry.
He secretly left early the next morning.
Before leaving, however, he asked Gu Qianbei for two gourds of Dragon Tiger Wine.
"Young Gu, this wine of yours is really getting stronger the more you drink it. This old beggar is addicted to it."
"If Senior Hong likes it, he can ask me for it anytime."
If you can't find me, my Thousand Sorrows Shop has branches in the capital, Lu Family Manor, and Seven Heroes Town.
"Hehe, your business is getting bigger and bigger."
What surprises me even more is your cultivation level; it has improved to such an extent in less than three months.
Hong Qigong could see through Gu Qianbei's cultivation level at a glance, so he couldn't help but marvel at her astonishing improvement.
"Just lucky."
"Hehe, you're really lucky. Alright, old beggar, it's time to go."
Otherwise, Rong'er and Jing'er would definitely keep nagging me for ages.
Please tell them for me.
"it is good."
Gu Qianbei had just responded when he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Senior Hong, I heard some news that might interest you."
"Oh? What news?"
"Someone saw a crazy, white-haired old man near Lujiazhuang, who could very well be the former Western Poison Ouyang Feng."
Hong Qigong's expression immediately changed, and he became serious.
"Has the old poison master appeared near Lujiazhuang?"
"I've only heard about it, so it might not be accurate. If you're interested, you can go and take a look around there."
Anyway, you're a wanderer, it's all the same wherever you go.
Gu Qianbei laughed.
He said this because he suddenly remembered that when Li Mochou destroyed the Lu Family Manor, Ouyang Feng was nearby and even helped Yang Guo cure the poison of the Ice Soul Silver Needle.
Selling information about Ouyang Feng to Hong Qigong can also be considered doing him a favor.
With the Dragon Tiger Wine available, Hong Qigong probably wouldn't have died from competing with Ouyang Feng in internal energy.
Therefore, it's a safe bet.
"You've certainly made arrangements for me, kid. But I have to go check on the old poison master since there's news about him."
This old man is insane; he'll likely be even more reckless with his attacks. If he harms someone else, that would be a terrible sin.
Although Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng were irreconcilable enemies, they were both grandmasters of martial arts and still had some mutual respect for each other.
Hong Qigong felt somewhat sorry for Ouyang Feng's fate.
However, he felt no sympathy.
This was all Ouyang Feng's own doing, and he deserved what he got.
Hong Qigong left gracefully, and when Guo Jing and Huang Rong found out, they were filled with helplessness.
However, they all knew that this was just Hong Qigong's personality, and they were already used to it.
After bidding farewell to the Clean Clothes Faction members and Gu Qianbei and others, Qiao Feng returned to the Song Dynasty.
"Brother Gu, if you have the chance to come to the Great Song Dynasty next time, let's drink three hundred cups again!"
"it is good."
After seeing off the Clean Clothes Faction, Guo Jing and Huang Rong planned to return to Xiangyang.
"Young Master Gu, Guo'er, would you like to come with us to Xiangyang for a visit?"
The beef noodles in Xiangyang are quite good; you'll probably like them.
Guo Jing extended a warm invitation, clearly wanting to spend more time with Yang Duo.
Gu Qianbei understood Guo Jing's meaning and immediately smiled and said, "We do indeed need to go to the vicinity of Xiangyang, so let's travel together with Hero Guo."
They were on their way to the Sword Tomb to retrieve new Xuan Snake Dew, so they would naturally pass through Xiangyang.
"That's wonderful!"
Guo Jing was overjoyed.
Guo Fu jumped up and down, shouting, "Yay! I can play with Brother Yang again!"
Seeing the father and daughter so happy, Huang Rong's eyes were also full of smiles.
Only Yang Guo seemed lost in thought, but no one knew what he was thinking.
The group traveled together and stayed at an inn for the night.
Inside the room, Yang Guo couldn't help but ask Gu Qianbei, "Master, do you think I should spend some time with Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo?"
Looking at the earnest Yang Guo in front of him, Gu Qianbei knew that he had encountered troubles on his path to adulthood.
At this point, one's own master should play a guiding role.
"Guo'er, let me ask you, do you think it's easy or difficult to meet someone in this life who truly cares about you?"
"Of course it's not easy. Over the years, I've wandered the world, witnessed the evil in people's hearts, and seen the coldness and warmth of human relationships. I know that there aren't many people who are truly good to you."
There are plenty of people who hate that you have it and laugh at that you don't.
Therefore, I feel incredibly lucky to have met my master.
Yang Guo gave the answer very decisively.
"Yes. In this life, it's hard to find someone who truly cares about you."
Even parents and children, spouses, and siblings are not all people who are wholeheartedly for your good.
It's lucky to meet one or two such people in your lifetime.
And you, Guo'er, can have an extra share of this good fortune.
This is from your Uncle Guo.
Your Uncle Guo is an upright and kind man. Although his care for you stems from his guilt towards your father, he truly treats you as his own son.
This kind of affection is something even a biological father might not possess.
I know your life wasn't going well before, and you harbored resentment.
And the righteousness in your Uncle Guo's heart can help you get rid of this violent temper.
Even I might not be able to do that.
Although your Aunt Guo is not as devoted to you as your Uncle Guo, she loves your Uncle Guo so much that she will extend that love to him as well.
As long as you don't harm her family, you are still a nephew or niece she values.
So if you ask for my opinion, I think you can try to make contact.
There are many kinds of human emotions. Perhaps you can find the fatherly love you lack in your Uncle Guo.
"A master is still a master; he can't give you that kind of feeling."
As Gu Qianbei spoke, he smiled and patted Yang Guo's head.
"Of course, these are just suggestions from your master; the decision is still in your hands."
If you're not willing, after we collect the Xuan Snake Dew from the Sword Tomb and take a stroll around Xiangyang City, we'll continue our wanderings in the martial world.
If you are willing to stay in Xiangyang for a while, your master will support you.
It just so happens that Master wants to open a branch of Qianchou Si in Xiangyang and is short of people to manage it. You can stay at the store directly.
This way you can spend more time with them without owing them favors, and you can leave at any time if you're not comfortable with them.
However, your master wants to remind you.
Relationships are built on mutual support and compromise. If there are too many boundaries, genuine feelings often cannot be formed.
Therefore, you need to find the right balance yourself.
Yang Guo was so moved by these words that his eyes welled up with tears.
Yang Guo sensed care and affection in those words.
Gu Qianbei had considered everything for him, so that no matter what choice he made, there would be a way out.
The book says: Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them.
Yang Guo had never experienced his biological parents planning for him, but at this moment he deeply felt that his master was planning for him.
How could he not be moved?
"Thank you, Master! I know what to do now."
