Chapter 57: The Wine House Play

  The two Taoist nuns on the wine building were Li Mochou and her disciple Hong Lingbo. Chen Yunfeng turned his back to them, covering himself up, not because he was afraid, but because they came from a direction where the first thing they saw was not him, but Yang Guo and others in the corner.

  Li Mochou walked up to the wine building and saw Yang Guo at a glance, but Little Dragon Girl was not by his side. She hesitated for a moment and thought to herself:

  "Hmm, this kid is actually here, that junior sister should also be here, but why can't I see her?"

  Li Mochou had never encountered Yang Guo after he came down from the mountain, as Chen Xunfeng intervened to save Lu Wushuang. Now that she has broken through to become a top-notch expert, she is not afraid of even Huang Rong and Yang Guo joining forces. Seeing Yang Guo's slightly changed expression, Li Mochou dusted off her sleeve and walked away with a cold smile.

  Yang Guo saw Li Mochou passing by, and his heart was slightly flustered. He was no match for Li Mochou, so he quickly stood up and laughed, calling out:

  "Yang Guo had met his master's senior and sister."

  When Yelü Qi heard Yang Guo addressing the two Taoist nuns as "Shi Bo" and "Shi Jie", he was taken aback, his mind filled with all sorts of calculations. He had no idea who this beautiful Taoist nun, who looked like a celestial being, was. However, her footsteps were light and agile, making almost no sound when she moved, her qing gong (lightness skill) was profound and unfathomable;

  Lu Wushuang was also stunned on the other side, she didn't know that Li Mochou had a junior apprentice brother or sister, and that cow thief was actually Li Mochou's junior apprentice nephew, no wonder he wasn't anything good.

  Everyone has a subconscious mind, Lu Wushuang directly recognized Yang Guo as a bad guy, and it won't be easy to change his mind. Just like Ye Lüqi, if Chen Yunfeng follows Jin Dajie's view, this guy is still considered an upright person. However, after understanding the Ye family's plan, he realized that this family was just using their superficial justice to cover up their conspiracy.

  Chen Yunfeng shook his head at Lu Wushuang, but his ears were still listening to the movements on the other side. Li Mochou coldly smiled and said faintly:

  "How is your master? Why isn't he with you?"

  Yang Guo heard Li Mochou mention Little Dragon Girl, originally a nostalgic feeling but now transformed into a melancholic longing that made him heartbroken. He glanced at Li Mochou's unfriendly face and quickly thought for a moment before saying:

  "Master told me to greet Master's wife for her, she went out to buy something just now and will be back soon."

  In the past, Li Mochou would have been worried about Little Dragon Girl and Yang Guo joining forces, but now that her martial arts skills had greatly improved, she thought it would be interesting to meet even top-notch experts. She coldly snorted and laughed, saying:

  "Oh, I was just thinking of meeting her, this saves me a trip to the ancient tomb. Kid, since you've encountered me, hand over our sect's ultimate technique honestly."

  Yang Guo looked around, knowing that even with the addition of Yelu siblings by his side, they were no match for Li Mochou. But he had been searching for Little Dragon Girl for so long and still had no news of her, so while thinking of a plan, he delayed and said:

  "Master Uncle, you are a senior, intimidating me is useless. The ancestors of our martial art have instructed that it cannot be passed on to Master Uncle, I dare not disobey."

  "Hahaha..."

  Li Mochou couldn't help but burst out laughing, her loose Taoist robe unable to conceal the constant rise and fall of her proud possessions. Yang Guo was actually lecturing her on sect rules? She said coldly:

  "The kid's face is really thick enough, my junior sister and you had an affair, now you're talking about master and entrustment in front of people, she's your wife now, saying this is really shameless."

  Yang Guo's life, apart from his deceased mother, the best to him were Granny Sun and Little Dragon Girl. Granny Sun died saving him, while Little Dragon Girl was gentle and considerate towards him. Since he understood the feelings in his heart, anyone who slandered Little Dragon Girl would provoke Yang Guo's anger. When Li Mochou said this, Yang Guo's temples bulged with rage as he grabbed the sword scabbard and stabbed it at Li Mochou's chest.

  Li Mochou's toe barely avoided Yang Guo's sword scabbard, and with a cold smile, she swung her duster to strike back. At this moment, Yang Guo was using the moves that Wang Chongyang had used to break through the Jade Maiden Sword Technique in the Water Path Secret Chamber. Li Mochou's duster technique also originated from the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, so in this exchange, Li Mochou was unexpectedly blocked by Yang Guo's sword scabbard.

  Li Mochou's hand grasped the duster with a surge of true energy and swept it towards Yang Guo, forcing him to retreat before coldly laughing and saying:

  "Hmm... your wife is quite good to you, teaching you such exquisite swordsmanship."

  "What's with you?"

  Yang Guo shouted in anger, and with a flash of his sword, he launched the "Divided Wind and Willow" strike at Li Mochou. This move was originally from the Quanzhen Sword School, but Wang Chongyang had modified it to counter the Jade Maiden Sword School. The sword tip kept shaking, making it hard to tell what was real and what was fake.

  Li Mochou was unwilling to engage in a prolonged fight with Yang Guo, so she created an unparalleled technique - the "Three-Sectional Five-Elemental Unmatched Swordplay" that could penetrate any opening. This move was based on the "Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap Hand" technique. All that could be seen was a flash of her hand, and dozens of major acupoints on Yang Guo's body were all covered by her shadowy hands.

  Yang Guo fell back, but couldn't avoid Li Mochou's pointing technique. He felt a surge of anxiety and suddenly flipped his body upside down, moving all the acupoints of the Nine Yin Manual to different locations. Although Li Mochou's fingers hit the original location of his acupoints, they only caused him some pain without any harm.

  Taking advantage of Li Mochou's momentary withdrawal, Yang Guo kicked out with both feet in a linked motion, forcing back the onrushing Li Mochou. Seeing that her attempt to seize Yang Guo had failed despite landing a hit on his acupoint, Li Mochou was unable to execute her next two moves, which were meant to be decisive and merciless. Her duster stirred, sending thousands of silver threads wrapping around Yang Guo's ankles.

  Yang Guo, since learning the Nine Yin Manual, had never fought against a top master. At this moment, when Li Mochou's duster arrived, he bent his legs and head, with both hands poking at Li Mochou's foot acupoints.

  Li Mochou had not fought with anyone who could turn the tables on her for many years, and Yang Guo's sudden move, although not astonishing, still frightened her into retreating quickly. Her eyes changed slightly as she said in a low voice:

  "When I first came down the mountain, my junior sister made a vow in front of our ancestor's portrait that if no man was willing to die for her, she would not come down from the mountain. Now she has come down with you and you have had an illicit affair with her. She is not your wife, so what is she, a concubine?"

  Li Mochou was forced to retreat by Yang Guo, who was only a mid-level martial artist at the time. Feeling extremely displeased, she decided to go against her usual demeanor and continued to taunt Yang Guo and the surrounding audience. In this era, it was rare for emotions to develop between masters and disciples due to strict moral codes. Li Mochou would not normally speak so recklessly, but for the sake of the Jade Maiden Manual, she no longer cared about such things.

  Yang Guo was so angry that his head spun, and a mouthful of true energy surged up inside him. Li Mochou saw his body sway and her dust brush struck out at Yang Guo's waist once again.

  "Waaaahhhh..."

  A dark projectile broke through the air, and Li Mochou's duster struck it down. She gave a cold glance and found that it was Yelü Qi, who was with Yang Guo. With a flick of her finger, an Ice Frost Silver Needle shot towards Yelü Qi, while her duster wrapped around Yang Guo's waist once again.
