Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Chapter 297 The Ingenious Chess Game

Gu Qianbei shook her head slightly.

"It's not that I disagree, it's just that I've always felt that the tradition of arranging marriages at a young age is really harmful."

Two children don't understand feelings at all. The adults blindly arranged their marriage, only thinking about their own affections, rather than considering the future happiness of the two children.

Didn't Master Guo and Princess Huazheng have a childhood betrothal?

What was the final result?

Since Master Guo has already learned this lesson the hard way, why leave such a hidden danger for the children?

If Yang Guo and Miss Guo like each other in the future, they will be together without us arranging their marriage.

But what if they don't like each other in the future? Wouldn't that turn into a tragedy and trouble?

Surely Guo Jing, the great hero, must have forgotten how much he suffered to break off the engagement back then?

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing was speechless for a moment.

He glanced at Huang Rong beside him and noticed that Huang Rong's complexion was also not very good.

Clearly, Huang Rong was also thinking of Hua Zheng.

They had a huge fight back then because of Hua Zheng, and almost died together.

"Brother Jing, I think what Young Hero Gu said makes a lot of sense."

These things can't be rushed.

Yang Guo is only fifteen years old, and Fu'er is only eleven. They are both still young and don't understand matters of love. Let them be free to interact for now.

"Since Rong'er, you say so too, then let's leave it at that for now."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing had no choice but to give up for the time being.

Yang Guo and Guo Fu, standing to the side, were both somewhat embarrassed, suddenly unsure how to interact with each other.

"By the way, Young Master Gu, I have an invitation here, but I really don't have time to go."

If you have time, perhaps you could take Guo'er to see him.

Suddenly, Guo Jing took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Gu Qianbei.

"This is... an invitation to the Precious Chess Game?"

Gu Qianbei accepted the invitation and said in surprise.

"That's right. This deaf-mute gentleman is quite famous in the martial arts world, and he is also the master of Doctor Xue."

We couldn't very well refuse his invitation.

But as you know, Xiangyang City has a very special location, and I cannot leave it easily.

Therefore, I can only send someone to go in my place.

If Young Master Gu is interested, you can go and have a look.

"This time, all those going are talented young men from the martial arts world. If you go, you can meet quite a few people."

Guo Jing said.

"Sounds good. It just so happens that I'm taking Guo'er out to broaden his horizons this time, and the Leigushan Gathering is a good opportunity to do so."

Gu Qianbei smiled and agreed.

This is a big show, and he certainly can't miss it.

Moreover, he had previously sent Xiaoyuer to Leigu Mountain to obtain an opportunity with the Xiaoyao Sect, so he could go and see if things could proceed according to his plan.

As for letting Yang Guo take over the Xiaoyao Sect, he had no such idea.

After all, Yang Guo is now his disciple, so how could he possibly inherit the mantle of someone else?

Wu Yazi's skill was impressive, but in the eyes of true geniuses, it was actually beneath his notice.

Putting everything else aside, Wu Yazi, despite training for so many years, might not be able to defeat Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng is only thirty, how old is Wu Yazi?

With Yang Guo's talent, he could break through to the Grandmaster level in just a few years without Wu Yazi passing on his skills.

It's not impossible to break through to the Celestial Realm before the age of twenty.

Since there's a path to take, why put yourself in shackles?

How could something as advantageous as passing on one's skills come without any cost?

"Master, can I really go?"

Yang Guo said excitedly.

"Of course, when has your master ever lied to you?"

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

"Father, Mother, I want to go too!"

Seeing this, Guo Fu quickly added her own words.

She's happy to go anywhere as long as she can go out and have fun.

"How old are you? What are you doing getting involved in this? Your parents can't easily leave Xiangyang, do you expect Young Master Gu to take care of you?"

Huang Rong quickly stopped her.

"I don't need Master Gu to take care of me. I can take care of myself. I'm just going with them."

"That won't work either. With your mediocre skills, how could you possibly not need someone to take care of you?"

If you really want to go, wait until you break through to the Innate Realm in martial arts.

Look at your son, he became a grandmaster in just two years of training. What about you?

All you do is play all day; you haven't learned any of Yang Guo's diligence.

Yang Guo became the "other people's child" that Huang Rong talked about, which annoyed Guo Fu, who glared at Yang Guo fiercely.

Yang Guo, completely unfazed by the pressure, immediately glared back and said, "Aunt Guo! Fu'er hasn't done her homework properly today; she's been slacking off every day."

"Yang Guo! What are you doing?!"

Guo Fu immediately became anxious.

"You think you're right not to do your homework? I've been busy lately, and you're so irresponsible! Come on! Let's go back inside and I'll have a good talk with you."

As Huang Rong spoke, she picked up Guo Fu and walked into the inner room.

"Ahhh! Mother, I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Yang Guo! I hate you!"

Guo Fu immediately let out a scream, her mouth full of accusations against Yang Guo.

Yang Guo covered his mouth and chuckled, feeling no remorse whatsoever.

Seeing the two children acting up, Gu Qianbei and Guo Jing could only smile helplessly.

After chatting for a while, Gu Qianbei took Yang Guo and left the Guo residence.

"Guo'er, how do you feel about Miss Guo? Do you have feelings for her?"

You don't blame your master for rejecting this marriage proposal on your behalf today, do you?

Yang Guo shook his head repeatedly.

"How could I blame Master? There are some feelings between me and Fu-mei, but I'm not sure if it's love."

After all, Fu Mei is the prettiest girl I've ever seen, so I definitely have some feelings for her.

However, this attraction is not yet at the level of romantic love that leads to a lifelong commitment.

All I want now is to become a master of martial arts and a grandmaster of brewing, just like you, Master!

We'll talk about the rest when I'm older.

Anyway, I think it shouldn't be difficult for me to get married if I want to.

"You little rascal, you're quite confident in yourself."

Gu Qianbei laughed.

"Hehe, Master, you don't know. These days, many women in Xiangyang City have been coming to Qianchou Si to buy wine."

The way they looked at me didn't seem like they were looking at a tavern owner.

Before I met my master, I had seen so much of the coldness and warmth of human relationships that I knew their intentions perfectly well.

Master, to tell you the truth, the reason I dressed as a beggar was partly because I was really broke, and partly because I wanted to conceal my appearance.

You have no idea how twisted people can be in this world.

Back when I wasn't dressed as a beggar, countless men and women wanted to bring me back to do bad things.

If I hadn't been quick-witted and escaped, I probably would be dead by now.

Yang Guo still felt a bit scared when he talked about this.

This shows how dark those years were for him.

Gu Qianbei was somewhat surprised.

I never imagined that The Return of the Condor Heroes had such a dark history from his childhood.

"You've really had a tough time."

"It's okay, it's all in the past! Everything got better after I met my master!"

I believe all these hardships were preparations made by Heaven so that I could meet my master.
