Ji Yaohua stood alone in a corner of the Chong Yang Hall, the cold night wind blowing at the corner of her clothes. Her messy hair fluttered in the wind, but she was indifferent.
A graceful figure flew over from afar. Ji Yaohua recognized that it was Gu Hongzi under the bright moonlight.
Ji Yaohua knew that Gu Hongzi was going to meet the woman in white tonight, so she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Helplessly, she walked to a higher place and felt sorry for herself.
Gu Hongzi had just returned from the back of the mountain. He was about to go to a room to rest when he saw a beautiful figure in the corner of the Chong Yang Hall. Gu Hongzi hesitated for a moment before he turned around and headed straight for the main hall.
"Why aren't you resting?" Gu Hongzi asked softly.
Ji Yaohua slowly turned her head, and Gu Hongzi saw that her face was filled with grief.
"Yaohua, what are you doing?"
"Young Master, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine!”Ji Yaohua forced a smile.
Gu Hongzi thought to himself. This face was filled with grief, yet he still insisted that it was fine. Ji Yaohua vividly displayed the grief in her heart and the grievance she was unwilling to show.
At this moment, if Gu Hongzi still acted as if his heart was made of stone, then this show would not be able to continue.
Gu Hongzi immediately reached out to hold Ji Yaohua's shoulders, and Ji Yaohua's body went limp as she leaned into Gu Hongzi's embrace.
"Young Master, I'm so cold." Ji Yaohua closed her eyes and looked intoxicated, as if Gu Hongzi was holding a heater in his arms.
This Ji Yaohua was really shrewd. She knew how to arouse a man's pity. Gu Hongzi sneered in his heart. He knew how to act too.
"Yaohua, why are you doing this? The two of us are fated to be apart in this life. Struggling bitterly can only waste our minds!”
Ji Yaohua could hear a hint of hesitation in Gu Hongzi's words. It seemed like Gu Hongzi was not completely uninterested in her. This made things easier.
"Young Master, I don't ask for a status. I only ask for Young Master to talk to me and look at me one more time. I'm already overjoyed.”
"Then why did you lower yourself like this? Be careful not to catch a cold!”Gu Hongzi asked with concern.
"Young Master, Yaohua feels wronged. Why was the young master so intimate with the woman in white when they first met? Could it be that Yao Hua's many days of companionship were not as good as a few words from that woman?”
Ji Yaohua finally spoke her mind. She wanted to use this grievance to make Gu Hongzi feel guilty so that she could obtain more things from him in the future.
"Yaohua, you don't have to think too much about it. The inheritance of Sister Yang's sect is closely related to our Emei Sect," Gu Hongzi said. They were of the same breath and should have helped each other. I don't have any other thoughts about getting close to her!”
"If Young Master could spare half of his concern for that woman, Yaohua would be willing to die right now!”
Ji Yaohua used bold words of love to express her feelings. Ji Yaohua did not know if she was telling the truth. Perhaps it was both.
Gu Hongzi wrapped his arms around Ji Yaohua's slender waist and used his cloak to protect her from the cold. Meanwhile, Ji Yaohua was nestled in Gu Hongzi's arms, greedily enjoying the scorching True Qi of the Nine Yang Divine Art.
"Young Master, your embrace is so warm!"
The moon set and the red sun surged in the blink of an eye. Gu Hongzi and Ji Yaohua left Mount Zhongnan and rushed towards Yongzhou City.
Gu Hongzi had been holding a thumb-sized jade pendant in his hand. Yang Yaoqin had left it behind last night. Gu Hongzi carefully put away the jade pendant. Perhaps they would meet again in the future.
In Yongzhou City, the Golden Whip Ji Family of Hanyang had a joyous occasion. The Emei Sect's Venerable Gu Hong, who had recently become famous in Jianghu, was going to take Ji Xiaofu, the daughter of the Ji family, as his disciple. This was a joyous occasion.
The Ji family was very happy that their daughter could become a disciple of Emei. Originally, the Ji family was just a nameless person in the Jianghu. The master of the Ji family was only a second-rate martial artist. Now that he had a relationship with the Emei Sect, the Ji family's status in the Jianghu immediately rose.
How could the ceremony of acknowledging a master be casual? The Ji family held a grand banquet and wanted to let the whole world know that their daughter had joined the Emei Sect.
Gu Hongzi looked at Ji Xiaofu, who was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and pouring tea for him obediently. Naturally, he smiled happily. However, Gu Hongzi sneaked out alone at night after he accepted his disciple.
The reason why Gu Hongzi had accompanied Ji Yaohua to the pass this time was not because he really wanted to investigate the case of absorbing internal strength. Gu Hongzi had already guessed that An Shigeng's father, An Yunshan, was behind the case. Why would he need to make another trip?
The reason why Gu Hongzi came to Guanzhong was for a rare martial art manual, which was Tendon Changing Scripture.
Nowadays, people in Jianghu all thought that the Yijin Sutra was hidden in Shaolin Temple. Moreover, Yijin Sutra was extremely difficult to cultivate. Some people could not even master it even if they practiced it for their entire lives. There were even some people whose faces were hard to understand.
Tendon Changing Scripture had a long history. It was the treasure left behind by Bodhidharma, the Indian monk, when he crossed over to the east nearly a thousand years ago. For thousands of years, Yijin Jing had been passed down from Shaolin Temple, but no one had been able to master it except Bodhidharma.
Over time, even if everyone knew that the Shaolin Temple had the unparalleled Tendon Changing Classic, no one had any idea about it. For thousands of years, many talented monks had not been able to fully comprehend the Tendon Changing Classic.
He couldn't even understand the Tendon Changing Classic that he had obtained after defeating Qiao Feng two hundred years ago. There were countless eminent monks in Shaolin Temple who had gone berserk from forcefully practicing Yijinjing, but all of them ended up in vain.
It was difficult to understand, and even if one understood it, they would not be able to practice it. Even if they practiced diligently, they might still go berserk. If that was the case, then Tendon Changing Classic would not be attractive to martial artists in the pugilistic world at all, so no one would be interested in it.
However, none of this was a problem for Gu Hongzi, because he knew the secret of Tendon Changing Classic and how to master it.
Gu Hongzi took advantage of the night to leave Yongzhou City and arrived at the Zhaoling Tomb, which was ten miles away from the city. This Zhaoling Mausoleum was the mausoleum of the former Emperor Taizong, Li Shimin. Since ancient times, many tomb robbers had coveted it.
However, this Zhaoling Mausoleum was built against the mountain, and there were many traps, so most of the tomb robbers returned empty-handed.
The reason why Gu Hongzi came here was not because of the rare treasures in Li Shiming's mausoleum, nor was his target the main tomb of the Zhaoling Mausoleum.
