The next day, Guo Dingyang and his group arrived outside South Valley City.
Guo and Yu threw the group of bloodied men in black who were dragging the mule cart out of the yamen. They then placed the pieces of the Ice Order neatly on the ground and left.
After the two of them left, there were bold commoners who came forward to watch. After a while, more and more commoners came forward to watch. Some of the more knowledgeable people recognized the ice token on the ground, causing a series of soft cries. Everyone secretly glared at the government office.
After Guo Dingyang and the others left the black-clothed man and the ice token at the government office, they went to the local Guangming branch to settle the payment for this trip. Then, they set off to return to Xiaying City, where the Proud Sky Bodyguard Agency was located.
Along the way, Yu Xiu rode a donkey to open the way, and Guo Dingyang followed closely behind. Inside the mule cart, the nine-year-old Guo Litian was chatting with Shi Yang and Kang Ying, who had already woken up, to relieve their boredom.
"Little Sister Ying, so you're a Universe Earth Martial Master? I once heard from my father that the Earth Martial Masters are famous for their defensive abilities. Oh right, my father is also a Martial Master. He is a Five-pointed Fire Martial Master.”Guo Litian said excitedly to Kang Ying.
Kang Ying glanced at him and thought,""I'm heavily injured, yet you praise my defense, hmph!”Feeling angry, she ignored him and turned to Shi Yang."Shi Yang, according to what you said, those men in black slaughtered your village? Your parents and family are also dead?"
Shi Yang looked at the bandages on his hands and feet and nodded silently.
Guo Litian continued and said to Shi Yang,"There must be no martial masters in your village, right? Yesterday, my father and Uncle Yu took down all those men in black.”
Kang Ying was extremely disdainful of Guo Litian's smug expression, so she mocked,"Your father and uncle's martial arts are strong, that's because they have extraordinary abilities, what does it have to do with you? You're not a five-star Martial Master."
Guo Litian heard Kang Ying's unfriendly words and quickly smiled apologetically."Hehe, about that, I will definitely train harder in the future and train myself to be as strong as Dad.”He paused for a moment and thought of something."Oh right, let me tell you. My father is the deputy head of the escort agency. He dotes on me the most. If you need anything, just tell me.”
When Kang Ying heard this, she recalled how she, as the princess of the Grass Cloud Tribe, had ended up in such a state. Not only was she alone in a foreign land, but she was even chased and severely injured. On the other hand, Guo Litian was just the son of a bounty hunter. His abilities were far inferior to hers, and his noble background was even worse. However, his life was much more comfortable than hers. She could not help but feel jealous of Guo Litian.
Kang Ying rolled her eyes and ignored him. She turned to Shi Yang and said,"Now that your limbs are crippled, do you still want revenge?”
When Shi Yang heard this, his face turned red."I have no one to rely on, and my limbs are crippled. Even this little girl is mocking me. I, I am really useless."
Seeing that Kang Ying was ignoring him and showing concern for Shi Yang, Guo Litian felt indignant, so he interjected,"You're already crippled, what's there to talk about revenge? However, don't worry too much. Our Pride Sky Bodyguard Agency won't abandon you.”
Kang Ying couldn't help but say disdainfully to Guo Litian,"You, Ao Tian, are the only one in the world? Look at you being so complacent, it really makes me angry!”
Guo Litian saw that Kang Ying was angry, so he shrunk his head and stopped talking. However, he looked at Shi Yang disapprovingly.
Kang Ying was furious. She shouted at Shi Yang,"Shi Yang, you're a man, but you're so dispirited after suffering some hardships. Shi Yang! Cheer up and listen up!”
Shi Yang was provoked by her. He immediately sat up straight with his right leg and pouted."Who's dispirited? I think you're the one who's down."
"That's reasonable," Kang Ying said. Listen up, I want to teach you martial arts, and you have to break through to become a Five-star Martial Master within five years.”
Outside the Hu Residence, Kang Ying, Guo Dingyang, and Yu Xiu fought with the man in black one after another. Shi Yang, who was lying in the carriage, saw everything. The dazzling movements and the magical Five-Ray True Force shocked him.
When he heard that Kang Ying wanted to teach him a skill, he was instantly energized and asked,"You really want to teach me martial arts? Can you do it?" He saw that Kang Ying was a woman, and she was even younger than him, so he couldn't help but be suspicious of her words. If she was like his sister Yue Er, pestering him all day, it would be a headache.
Seeing that Shi Yang was suspicious of her ability, Kang Ying could not help but feel bitter. She said angrily,"Listen carefully,'Training in fist arts is not the first step to training in Qi. The key to training in Qi is to preserve one's spirit, and the beginning of preserving one's spirit is to consolidate one's spirit…Only by doing so can one discuss the training method of fist arts…Otherwise, few people can complete their training.'”He immediately told Shi Yang about a few thousand words of Qi Refining techniques.
Shi Yang did not understand the acupoints of the human body, so he asked them one by one. Although Kang Ying grumbled, she still taught him wholeheartedly.
Guo Litian interrupted them with a few words at first, but when he saw that the two of them had no time to pay attention to him, he had no choice but to open the cloth and sit in the front of the car with his father.
Guo Dingyang saw his son's sulky state and asked for the reason. Guo Litian pouted and told him the whole story.
Guo Dingyang waited for his son to finish his story and said to Guo Litian,""Look, even though Shi Yang's hands and feet are injured, he is still practicing his martial arts diligently. You, on the other hand, are always tired and refuse to practice.”
Guo Litian gradually grew impatient. He leaned against the armrest of the mule cart and pretended to fall asleep to prevent his father from lecturing him."Why should I suffer the pain of training? In this vast world, who would have the guts to bully the young master of Prideful Escort Leader?”
Guo Dingyang saw his son fall asleep and sighed. He didn't say anything else.
The four of them set off from Nangu City, passing through Linjiang, Qingmin, and Zhenhu. Then, they took the waterway, passing through Gorilla Beach, Monkey Valley, and Crescent Moon Bay. They landed at Mirror Lake, passed through Qingping, and Fengzhou, and returned to Xiaying City.
In these ten days, Kang Ying taught him diligently while Shi Yang studied without eating or sleeping. The two of them worked so hard that they finally managed to produce Primal Chaos True Force in Shi Yang's body before they arrived at the Sunset Shadow City. At this point, Shi Yang could be considered to have stepped into the threshold of cultivation. In the future, when his cultivation was strong and his foundation was firm, he would be able to wait for an opportunity to become a Five Star Martial Master.
After entering Xiaying City, Guo Dingyang and Yu Xiu no longer rode, but walked and led the donkey to guide the carriage, so as not to disturb the passers-by.
The two of them walked to a remote courtyard and picked up Guo Litian, Kang Ying, and Shi Yang from the mule cart. Two people walked over and bowed.""Escort Leader Guo, you've had a tough journey." He led the donkey down.
After that, the Guo father and son and Yu Xiu led Kang Shi into the courtyard and invited them to rest in the hall. They left Guo Litian to accompany them.
At this moment, other than Guo Kangshi and the other two, there was no one else in the hall.
Guo Litian said to Kang Shi,"This is the encampment of my Proud Sky Bodyguard Agency. How is it?”His tone was very arrogant.
"No matter how grand it is, it's usually used to live in.”The injuries on his body had already healed, and his broken bones had been reconnected. However, it was too late for him to reattach his broken bones. Hence, Shi Yang's left leg was slightly crippled, and his left hand was not very flexible.
Guo Litian was secretly jealous of Shi Yang's constant companionship with Kang Ying, so he often bickered with him. Although he sometimes spoke carelessly and ridiculed Shi Yang's disability, he was scolded by his father Guo Dingyang every time he spoke, and he felt quite regretful.
Every time Shi Yang was stabbed in the sore spot by Guo Litian, he would feel more inferior and angry. If he had not been thinking about learning from Kang Ying, he would have left long ago.
Kang Ying saw that although the courtyard was big, it was not as imposing as the Hu Residence, and it was not as imposing as the Grass Cloud Tribe."A country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world yet is actually more imposing than me, the princess of Grass Cloud. What a joke.”With a fake smile, he mocked Guo Litian,""Oh, it's grandeur. It's even grander than the princess 'palace.”
She secretly despised Guo Litian, but she knew that it would be foolish to leave in a fit of pique. After all, she had once suffered a great loss in the City of Dawn due to her recklessness. Therefore, although she was not used to Guo Litian's behavior and expression, she did not act on impulse. Moreover, Guo Dingyang and Yu Xiu both valued Kang Ying, who was a martial master of the universe. They even strongly invited her to join the Aotian Bodyguard Agency, which made her feel quite satisfied. Thus, she took the opportunity to stay.
Guo Litian was overjoyed when he saw Kang Ying smile at him, but he did not notice the mockery in her eyes.
