Chapter 93: Guo Xiang
Yang Guo was very frustrated. He was the senior brother, but his two junior sisters always managed to bully him.
They had been using their relationship with Lawyer Jehovah to suppress him all along.
Now that I've finally waited so long for my master, what happened...?
As Yang Guo looked helpless, Guo Jing, Yelü Qi, and the others came out to greet him. They all greeted Qian Jin warmly.
Qian Jin returned the greetings one by one, and then followed Guo Jing to the banquet. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qian Jin stayed in Xiangyang.
That evening, Qian Jin was invited to Guo Jing and Huang Rong's residence.
In their arms, the two men each held an infant. Qian Jin knew that these two infants were Guo Xiang and Guo Polu.
However, the two looked very similar, so Qian Jin didn't know which one was Guo Xiang and which one was Guo Polu.
When Qian Jin entered, the infant in Guo Jing's arms seemed to be throwing a tantrum, but upon seeing Qian Jin, it looked at him with curiosity and then smiled happily.
Upon seeing this, Guo Jing burst into laughter and said:
"Young Master Qian, this child seems to like you very much from the first time she saw you. You see, she was just throwing a tantrum, but as soon as you came in, she started smiling."
Qian Jin also found the child's smile quite adorable and immediately said:
"Master Guo, this child is quite adorable. May I hold her?"
"Haha, why not?"
Guo Jing chuckled, then handed the infant in his arms to Qian Jin.
The baby, held in Qian Jin's arms, laughed even more happily.
Guo Jing was even more surprised when he saw this, and said:
"Young Master Qian, this child has always been quite temperamental since birth, but now that she's in your arms, she's smiling so happily. It seems she really likes you."
Hearing their conversation, Huang Rong couldn't help but laugh:
"At a time like this, you two are still calling him 'Master Guo' and 'Young Master Qian,' don't you feel awkward?"
Guo Jing was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately laughed:
"I've gotten so used to calling him that that I've never even thought about it before."
Previously, because he was a disciple of my sworn brother Zhou Botong, I didn't know how to address him properly, so I always called him Young Master Qian.
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong said:
"Then his senior brother, Master Ma Yu, is also your master!"
Moreover, he is also Yang Guo's master. If Yang Guo and Fu'er get married in the future, and you still call yourselves great heroes or young heroes, wouldn't that make others laugh?
So I think you should all stick to your own traditions and not worry about seniority.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jing said:
"Yes, yes, it was my oversight."
Since that's the case, and I'm a bit older than you, then I'll take the liberty of calling you Brother Qian.
Qian Jin smiled slightly and said:
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Guo."
"Aaaaaah!"
After Qian Jin finished speaking, the baby in his arms suddenly cried out a few times, which made the three of them burst into laughter.
"Brother Guo, I haven't asked you yet, what are the names of these two children?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Jing said:
"Brother Qian, the one in your arms is your sister, named Guo Xiang, and the other one is your brother, named Guo Polu."
Upon hearing that the baby in his arms was indeed Guo Xiang, Qian Jin looked at her curiously again, thinking to himself that Guo Xiang was quite cute when she was little.
This time, he settled the matter of the Valley of Heartbreak ahead of schedule, so Guo Xiang didn't have to suffer everywhere at such a young age.
"Brother Qian, the reason we called you here is to discuss the marriage between Guo'er and Fu'er."
They're both getting on in years, and Yang Guo has done a great service this time, so I wanted to take this opportunity to help them get married.
Upon hearing Guo Jing's words, Qian Jin nodded and said:
"This is a good thing! Over the years, under my guidance, Guo'er has become much more mature."
However, he is naturally restless, and getting him married early and starting a family will help him become more stable and mature.
Huang Rong nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Yes, that's what we think too."
However, Yang Kang, Guo'er's biological father, although he and Guo Jing were sworn brothers, died because of me in the end.
Therefore, I worry that if Guo'er and Fu'er get married in the future, it would be bad if Guo'er had a misunderstanding because of it.
After saying that, he briefly recounted what had happened back then to Qian Jin.
Finally, he said:
"Brother Qian, you are now the closest person to Yang Guo in this world, so we hope that you can help us clear up this misunderstanding."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"It was indeed wrong of Guo'er's father to recognize a thief as his father."
I had long intended to explain the matter of his father to Guo'er, but I had never had a suitable opportunity.
Now that he and Fu'er are getting married, I naturally need to make things clear to him beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings later.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jing looked surprised and said:
"Brother Qian, it seems you already knew about his father, Yang Kang, all along?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"Now that I've taken Guo'er as my disciple, how could I not find out about his father's affairs?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Jing couldn't help but show a look of admiration, then bowed deeply to Qian Jin and said:
"Brother Qian, it is truly an honor for Guo'er to have a master like you."
On behalf of his deceased father, I thank you.
Upon seeing this, Qian Jin quickly returned the greeting and said:
"Haha, Brother Guo, there's no need to be so polite. Once Guo'er and Fu'er are married, we'll be family."
"Yes, we're family."
Upon hearing this, Guo Jing also laughed.
……
The next day, Qian Jin found Yang Guo and first tested his martial arts skills. Seeing that Yang Guo had been diligently practicing recently, he nodded and said:
"Excellent. I am very pleased that you have been able to practice martial arts diligently."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo said:
"My master is the best person to me in this world, so I must obey every word he has said to me."
And we must work even harder, lest we disappoint our master.
Upon hearing Yang Guo's words, Qian Jin couldn't help but laugh:
"Besides me, don't you have a godfather?"
He has regained his senses now. Even if he had urgent business to attend to back then, he should have taken care of it by now, given this much time!
Has he come to see you again during this time?
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo's expression darkened somewhat, and he said:
"My godfather has never come to see me since we parted ways last time."
To be honest, I've been trying to find out where my godfather is during this time, but I haven't heard anything about him.
He seemed to have vanished from the world into thin air.
Perhaps, he only adopted me as his godson because he was mentally unstable at the time and mistook me for his son.
Now that he has regained his senses and knows my identity, he no longer wants to acknowledge me.
