Chapter - 311 Enmity Between Siblings (6)

The two brothers were slightly startled when they heard their father's voice and both replied, "Father."

Wu Santong bowed deeply to Yang Guo and said, "Brother Yang, I will never forget your kindness."

Yang Guo frowned; how could he say this in front of the brothers? By the time he wanted to say something to throw them off the scent, Wu Xiuwen had become suspicious and said, "Brother, that punk's words may not be the truth."

Wu Dunru may not be as articulate as his brother, but he was just as alert; he looked at his father and then nodded to his brother.

Wu Santong had saw that he had made a mess of things and quickly said, "It's not what you think, I did not get brother Yang to stop you fighting."

At first, the Wu brothers were just suspicious, but after hearing their father trying to cover up his words, they both immediately thought about how Yang Guo and Guo Fu had never gotten on with each other. He and Xiao Longnu were deeply in love, so the things that he had just said were most probably lies.

Wu Xiuwen said, "Brother, we'll go back to Xiangyang and ask sister Fu about this."

Wu Dunru replied, "Yes! We can't be deceived by other people's lies."

Wu Xiuwen said, "Father, come with us as well. Master and Master wife are your old friends, you should go see them."

Wu Santong replied, "I… I…" He became flustered as he tried to decide what to do. He wanted to use his authority to order his sons to stop fighting but was afraid that they'll just agree to please him and then go off fighting as soon as his back was turned.

Yang Guo said coldly, "Little brother Wu, how can you say the words 'sister Fu'? From now on, not only can't you say it, you're not allowed to even think it."

Wu Xiuwen yelled, "What, this from the world's most unreasonable person? I have said the words 'sister Fu' for years now; not only do I want to say it today, I want to say it tomorrow. Sister Fu, sister Fu, my sister Fu…" Suddenly, smack! Yang Guo slapped his left cheek.

Wu Xiuwen leaped back two steps and held up his sword. He lowered his voice and said, "Fine, the one named Yang, it's been a few years since we've had a fight."

Wu Santong shouted, "Wen'er, why start a fight?"

Yang Guo turned to him and said with a serious face, "Uncle Wu, who exactly are you trying to help?" Logically, he would of course help his son, but it was clear to see that Yang Guo was trying to help him stop his sons from fighting, his mouth froze.

Yang Guo said, "How about this, go and sit over there. I won't hurt them and more likely than not, they won't be able to harm me; just watch the show."

He was a lot younger than Wu Santong but as he said this, Wu Santong couldn't stop himself from complying with his instructions and he sat down on a rock.

Yang Guo unsheathed his Gentleman Sword and chopped a large Pine tree at his side in two. He pushed out his left palm and toppled the top half of the tree. The sword left a straight and smooth cut. When the brothers saw how fine a weapon his sword was, they couldn't help but to look at each other in shock.

Yang Guo returned the sword in its sheath and laughed, "Do you think you are worthy of fighting against this sword?" He casually stretched out his hand and snapped a branch. He removed the leaves and left himself with a three-foot long wooden rod. He said to them, "I know that you don't believe that my mother-in-law favors me. How about this, I'll use this wooden rod and you two use your swords against me at the same time. You can use the martial arts that my father and mother-in-law taught you, or you can use the "Solitary Yang Finger" that your Martial Uncle Zhu taught you. I however, will only use the martial arts that my mother-in-law has taught me; if I use a stance from another sect's martial arts then that means I've lost."

The brothers had been worried about how good his martial arts were; they had seen him in action twice against Jinlun Fawang and the stances that he had used were completely new to them. But with Yang Guo referring to Guo Jing and Huang Rong as his in-laws as if he had already married Guo Fu, how could they not get angry? Also, Yang Guo was being too arrogant and insulting towards them. Two against one with a wooden rod against swords and limiting himself to using only martial arts that Huang Rong had taught him. With these advantages, if they don't win then it would be a disgrace.

Wu Dunru felt that this wasn't fair and shook his head. He was about to say something when Wu Xiuwen said, "Fine, you were the one who made the rules; it wasn't we brothers who asked for it. Should you happen to use a stance of the Quanzhen or Ancient Tomb martial arts what then?" He was thinking that although this punk's martial arts were good, it was only because he had learned the advanced techniques of the Quanzhen and the Ancient Tomb. When we were living on Peach Blossom Island, we beat the hell out of you and you had to run away, how good were you then? He said these words so that the two of them could fight him together.

Yang Guo said, "We are fighting today not because of old grudges or today's feud, we are fighting because of sister Fu. If I lose, just one word or glance at her then I'm a worthless and shameless scoundrel." These words were meant to force the brothers to say the same thing.

Wu Xiuwen could only say, "If we lose, then we too won't see sister Fu again."

Yang Guo faced Wu Dunru and said, "What about you?"

Wu Dunru said angrily, "My brother and I share the same view, what else am I going to say?"

Yang Guo laughed, "Fine, if you lose today and you don't keep to your promise, then you are a worthless, shameless scoundrel, yes?"

Wu Xiuwen said, "Correct. The same applies to you. Let's start!" He stretched his sword forward and aimed for Yang Guo's leg. Wu Dunru attacked at the same time but he came in from the left. Within a stance, the two had moved themselves into the pincer position.

Yang Guo leapt forward and called out, "You brothers are pretty powerful when you fight together."

Wu Dunru attacked again and Yang Guo raised his wooden rod but he did not counterattack, instead he just moved left and right and said, "A wife is like a piece of clothing, brothers are like limbs, if a piece of clothing is torn it can be mended but if limbs snap, there's no return! Have you heard this poem before?"

Wu Xiuwen shouted, "What are you babbling on about? Why aren't you showing us the martial arts that Master wife taught you?"

Wu Dunru did not say a word as he fought harder.

Yang Guo said, "Fine, you better watch out, here comes the masterful martial arts that my mother-in-law personally taught me!" He then aimed his wooden rod downwards and used the 'trip' codex from the "Dog Beating Stick Technique". At the same time, he stretched out his left index finger and pretended to go for Wu Dunru's pressure point. Wu Dunru leapt back to avoid this attack. Wu Xiuwen called out as he was tripped.
