Chapter - 148 Great Banquet For Heroes (2)

Guo Fu said, "Relax, I'll take care of him. You two go first; brother Yang and I will follow. The four of us will make too much noise with our footsteps."

The Wu brothers didn't want to but they knew they couldn't defy Guo Fu's orders. The two of them walked ahead discontentedly.

Guo Fu called out, "We'll hide in a large tree nearby first; my mother will not notice if we are careful and don't make any noise." The Wu brothers nodded in reply and quickened their steps.

Guo Fu glanced at Yang Guo and saw his clothes were extremely ragged and torn, she said, "When we get back I'll get mother to buy you some new clothes; once you've changed, you won't be as ugly."

Yang Guo shook his head and said, "I was born ugly; even if I change clothes and tidy myself up I'll still be ugly."

Guo Fu said fine and didn't take it to mind; she glanced at the backs of the Wu brothers and gave out a light sigh.

Yang Guo said, "Why are you sighing?"

Guo Fu said, "My mind is really troubled, you wouldn't understand."

Yang Guo saw a delicate redness on her face, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, she really was an extremely beautiful girl. Compared to Lu Wushuang, Wanyan Ping and Yelu Yan, she was more beautiful than they. His heart was moved slightly and said, "I know why you are so troubled."

Guo Fu said, "That's strange, how would you know? You really are talking rubbish."

Yang Guo said, "Fine, if I guess correctly, you can't deny it."

Guo Fu placed her little white and tender finger against her right cheek, her pupils glimmered, a smile was on her lips and said, "Fine, take a guess."

Yang Guo said, "It's not simple. The Wu brothers both like you, they both try to please you, and it's hard for you to give up one of them."

After hearing this, Guo Fu's heart raced. He knows about this, the Wu brothers know about this, her parents know about this and even Ke Zhen E knows about this. But it was hard for anyone to mention it; everyone knew in their hearts but no one mentioned a word about it. Now, Yang Guo suddenly mentioned this matter, she couldn't stop her face from going red; she was happy but sad, she wanted to laugh but also wanted to cry, droplets of tears rolled from her eyes.

Yang Guo said, "You're thinking 'Big Brother Wu is courteous and reliable, Little Brother Wu can keep me entertained. The two of them are both handsome, their martial arts are excellent and they treat me with respect and listen to me. The elder has his good points, the younger has his strong points; I'm just one person, how can I marry two men?"

Guo Fu listened to him startled, after she heard his last sentence, she said, "Your mouth is full of rubbish, who wants to pay attention to what you say?"

From her reaction, Yang Guo knew he had guessed correctly, he quietly repeated, "I'm just one person, how can I marry two men?"

After repeating it a few times, Guo Fu still seemed to have something on her mind; it was as if she didn't hear him.

After a while she said, "Brother Yang, tell me, who do you think the better of the brothers?" She asked this quite suddenly. Though she and Yang Guo were childhood friends, there was still some animosity between the two even though they not seen each other for a long time. Now that they're grown up, how can she reveal such things to him? Yang Guo is a lively person, as long as you don't get on the wrong side of him, he will joke with you, laugh with you, in a flash he will make you feel as if you were in a spring breeze, as if you were drinking a beautiful wine. Anyway, Guo Fu had gone over this hundreds and thousands of times in her mind. She felt that both of them had their good points; when it came to playing around and joking, she got on with Wu Xiuwen very well, but when it came to doing something serious Wu Dunru was much better. She was a girl going through puberty; she would alternate from being angry with them, or be pleased with them. She made the brothers fall in love with her; in her heart she was really troubled, she didn't know who to treat better. As she and Yang Guo raised this point she couldn't help herself but ask this question.

Yang Guo laughed and said, "I don't think either of them is good."

Guo Fu was startled and asked, "Why?"

Yang Guo laughed and said, "If those two are good then what chance have I, Yang Guo, got?" He had been used to joking around with Lu Wushuang on the road and he didn't mean what he just said, he was just teasing her when he said it.

Guo Fu was stunned, she was a girl who was used to being pampered and treated well, no one has ever said half an offensive word to her. Right now she didn't know whether or not to be angry; she put on serious face and said, "If you don't want to say, fine, who wants to joke with you? Let's go." As she said this she utilized her lightness kung fu and hurried along the small path to the mountainside.

Yang Guo felt there was no point to this and thought, "Why am I mixing with these three? I'd rather be far away and be on my own!" He turned around and slowly walked away, thinking, "The Wu brothers think that girl is a goddess, they're afraid that she won't marry them. If they really marry her, and spend everyday with such a pretty yet bullying girl, they will definitely experience more pain than joy, huh; crazy people like them are very funny."

Guo Fu hurried for a while and assumed that Yang Guo would go after her and apologize; but after stopping for a while there was no trace of Yang Guo. She had a thought and said, "That person does not know martial arts, of course he won't be able to catch up. She turned around and returned to see that he had actually gone in the opposite direction. She thought this was strange and went over to Yang Guo. She asked, "Why aren't you coming?"

Yang Guo said, "Miss Guo, please tell your parents that I've gone."

Guo Fu was shocked and said, "You're fine, so why are you leaving?"

Yang Guo gave a dull laugh and said, "There's no reason, originally I came here for no real reason, and now that I've been here I feel I should go."

Guo Fu has always like crowded atmospheres; although she didn't think very highly of Yang Guo, listening to him joking felt fresher and newer than listening to the Wu brothers. She really didn't want him to leave, she said, "Brother Yang, we haven't seen each other a long time, I have many things to say to you. Anyway, tonight is the 'Heroes Feast, all the heroes from all over the world will be gathering here, why don't you want to experience this?"

Yang Guo said, "I'm not a hero, if I'm actually there, won't I just become an object of ridicule in front of all the heroes?"

Guo Fu said, "That makes sense." She pondered for a while and said, "There are many people in the Lu Manor who don't know martial arts, just eat and drink with the servants."
