Chapter - 319 Shocking And Dreadful (3)

She was filled with anger and she did not even give a thought about the possible terrible consequences that would result from her words. A swooshing sound was heard as she sheathed the half exposed Lady Sword and sat down on a chair, laughing as she did so. She said, "Your Master is beautiful and her martial arts are strong, she is indeed a rare breed but there's just one thing that's not proper about her."

Yang Guo said, "What?"

Guo Fu replied, "It's just a pity that she does not act in a respectable manner and has been sneaking around to meet up with those Quanzhen Taoists."

Yang Guo angrily replied, "My Master has a feud with the Quanzhen sect, why would she be meeting up with them in secret."

Guo Fu gave a cold laugh and said, "When I said that she was 'sneaking around to meet them', I said the polite version. There are some things that would be inappropriate for a girl to say."

Yang Guo was becoming more and more furious as he listened, he shouted loudly, "My Master is pure and chaste; if you say another lie I'll tear your mouth off."

Guo Fu had an icy look in her eyes as she said coldly, "That's right, she was able to do it but I'm unable to say it. What a nice pure and chaste girl, going around being intimate with a rotten Taoist."

Yang Guo's face became green and he shouted, "What did you say?"

Guo Fu said, "I heard it with my own ears, don't tell me I'm wrong. Two Quanzhen Taoists came to pay their respects to my father but they turned up just when the city was in a mess, my parents were unwell and couldn't see them so I had to take care of the guests…"

Yang Guo shouted angrily, "Then what?"

Guo Fu saw that he was furious, his eyes were red and his forehead was tensed up, her plan was working and she continued, "One of the Taoists was called Zhao Zhijing, the other called Zhen Zhibing, heard of them?"

Yang Guo said, "Then?"

Guo Fu gave a dry laugh and said, "I instructed my servants to prepare quarters for them and didn't take notice of them. But in the middle of the night, a Beggar Clan member came to tell me that those two Taoists had drawn swords and were fighting each other in their room…"

Yang Guo snorted as he knew that the two have always been at arms with each other, fighting each other in their room wasn't anything out of the ordinary."

Guo Fu continued, "I was curious so I quietly went to their window and looked in. By then, the two had sheathed their swords but they were still arguing. The one named Zhao said that the one named Zhen and your Master did this and that and the one named Zhen did not deny it, he was just angry with him for being so loud…"

Yang Guo suddenly flung his blanket off and sat up on the bed, he shouted, "What this and that?"

Guo Fu's face blushed; she looked a little embarrassed and said, "How would I know? Don't tell me its something good. Your precious Master knows what she's done." She said this with a derisive tone.

Yang Guo was angry and agitated, his emotions were in turmoil and he swung his hand out and slapped Guo Fu on the face. In a blaze of fury, his slap came out with great force and knocked Guo Fu into a daze, her face was red and swollen, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Guo was still not at full strength, this slap would have knocked her teeth out.

When has Guo Fu ever suffered such an insult? In anger, she unsheathed the Lady Sword from her waist, and went for Yang Guo's neck.

After slapping Guo Fu, he thought, "I've insulted Uncle and Auntie Guo's precious daughter. This girl is the princess of this city, even if Uncle and Auntie forgive me, how can I stay?"

He stretched out his leg to put on his shoes and saw Guo Fu's sword coming towards him, he gave a cold laugh and pulled his left arm inwards and shot out his right hand, then with some light movements, he snatched the Lady Sword away.

Failing with two strokes in succession, Guo Fu's anger rose further. She saw that there was a sword by the head of the bed and grabbed it. Unsheathing the sword, she chopped at Yang Guo's head. Yang Guo saw a glimmer of light coming towards him and raised the Lady Sword across him to block the attack but after being unconscious for seven days, he had no strength to back up his movements. After raising the Lady Sword up to his chest, his arms felt limp and weak and he could raise it no further. Guo Fu's sword came in across and after a light clanging sound as the two swords collided, the Lady Sword fell out of his hand.

Guo Fu was furious about the slap that she had received, she thought, "You've bought harm to my sister you despicable person, I'll take your life today to avenge my sister. My parents will not blame me for this." She saw him sitting on the floor without any strength to retaliate, he was just holding his arm up across his chest to protect himself but there was no signs of pleading for mercy in his eyes. Guo Fu clenched her teeth and increasing the strength in her hand, she chopped down with her sword.

Previously:

That day when Xiao Longnu was looking for Yang Guo and Jinlun Fawang on the red horse, she had headed in the wrong direction. The horse galloped over ten li in one go and by the time she reined in the horse to go back, she had lost them completely. She was very anxious since the more time that passed, the more at risk Yang Guo's life would be. She rode around within thirty to forty li of Xiangyang searching for him.

The red horse was fast but the valley was well hidden and it was not until after midnight that she heard the cries of Wu Santong. Heading in the direction of the cries, she soon came across the sounds of the clashing blades of the Wu brothers and then the sound of Yang Guo's voice. She was delighted that she had found him but was afraid that he had come across some strong foes so she decided to hide and help him in secret. She tied the red horse to a tree and quietly moved behind the rocky outcrop and watched Yang Guo face his foes.

There was no need for her to be anxious after she took a look but what she heard shocked her: Yang Guo was declaring that he and Guo Fu had been engaged long ago and calling her his fiancée. He was referring to Guo Jing and Huang Rong as his in-laws; she heard how Guo Jing and Huang Rong had picked him to be their son-in-law and secretly transmitted martial arts to him. She also saw how he lost his temper at the Wu brothers, saying they were not allowed to see Guo Fu. Every word of his struck out at her heart like lightning; she was confused and felt that her whole universe had changed within the blink of an eye. If it was anyone else who saw Yang Guo's actions changed suddenly like this, they would become suspicious and would ask him to explain everything afterwards. But Xiao Longnu's mind was as clear as a crystal, untouched by earthly dust; she did not know the lies and tricks of humankind. Yang Guo's tongue was silky smooth and talked rubbish to others; but to Xiao Longnu, he had never told a single lie and because of this that Xiao Longnu had never doubted his words. As she saw the Wu brothers losing, she pitied herself and let out a sigh. When Yang Guo heard the sigh and called out 'GuGu', she did not reply and hid further away. Yang Guo thought that it was Li Mochou who sighed and it was he who was mistaken so he did not give it much thought.
