The day Yang Guo was driven out of the Quanzhen Order, Huang Rong smiled at him.
She called him a “good boy,” but in her heart, she was thinking something else.
Yang Guo heard her thoughts.
From that day on, he learned that what people say doesn't matter. What they think is what counts.
When Li Mochou hunted him down, he instead seized control of her weakness.
When Gongsun Lü'e was trapped in Passionless Valley, a few words were all it took to make her willingly leave with him.
Huang Rong had spent twenty years laying her plans. He dismantled them one by one.
His advantage wasn't martial arts. It was knowing just a little more than everyone else.
In the final battle, he poured all his inner energy into Huang Rong, sacrificing an arm and spending three years with his meridians blocked.
Everyone said he had lost more than he gained.
He didn't explain.
He returned to the ancient tomb on Mount Zhongnan, sweeping the floors, repairing the walls, waiting for someone.
Someone asked him, “What are you waiting for?”
He smiled but said nothing.
Someone beside him answered, “For him to come back.”
No matter how the Quanzhen Sect surrounds and kills the protagonist, and the protagonist only has hatred for Qiu Chuji, everyone else respects him and shows no intention of killing him.
