Caught in the middle, Wu Kui'er broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing Fu Rong's state. He shoved Fu Rong around the waist, pleading, "Sister Fu Rong, come on, come on! My old injury has flared up again! I need to see Grandpa Bi! Come on, come on, take me with you!"

As Wu Kui'er pushed her, Fu Rong felt the force on her waist and complained, "Wu Kui'er, don't use so much force, you're hurting my waist."

"Alright, let's hurry, we can't stay here any longer!"

"No, let's chat a little longer..."

Zhuge Qing tried to persuade him to stay.

Wu Kui'er immediately turned around, baring his teeth and looking fierce.

Zhuge Qing was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly. 'It seems making friends with the villagers takes some effort.'

Wu Kui'er snorted coldly, grabbed Fu Rong, and strode forward, harboring a dislike for Zhuge Qing.

'Sweet talker, frivolous boy! We absolutely cannot let Sister Fu Rong fall for another womanizer!'

As one of the earliest members of the Jie Sect in Biyou Village, Wu Kui'er was fully aware of Fu Rong's predicament, all because of those scumbag men!

As Wu Kui'er walked with Fu Rong, she suddenly saw Chen Duo frowning and walking blankly toward Xia Linyuan and Xia Liuqing.

Chen Duo watched for a while from the side.

Then he punched Xia Liuqing!

Wu Kui'er: "!!!"

Chapter 196 The Great Dao is Hard to Deceive

Didn't the village chief tell her that these two people were relatives?

I'll have to apologize to that old man when I get the chance; what would happen if I threw that punch?

Wu Kui'er's lips drooped, her eyes widened, and she let go of Chen Duo's hand and ran towards her.

Fu Rong was slightly surprised: "Kui'er, what are you doing over there!"

Wu Kui'er turned slightly to the side, revealing a determined look in her eyes. Then, turning around, she looked like she was about to cry: "Meeting you two silly old ladies has really made my life so difficult!"

...

Xia Linyuan was sparring with Xia Liuqing when he noticed more and more people staring at him. He felt that he was not giving his second master face because he was using his martial arts skills from various schools to keep the fight going.

After all, they were renowned figures in the Quanxing sect. How could they face others if they were overshadowed by a junior?

The old man's face turned bright red.

Xia Linyuan quietly revealed a flaw.

Xia Liuqing's eyes lit up. She naturally realized that her grandson was giving her a way out. She secretly praised Xia Linyuan for being sensible and perceptive. Just as she was about to take advantage of the situation and capture her grandson to end the competition, she realized that Xia Linyuan was being sensible and perceptive.

Chen Duo threw a punch, sending Xia Liuqing sprawling.

Chen Duo stood with her hands in her pockets, head held high, like a hero.

Xia Linyuan was stunned:

'Chen Duo is so loyal!'

Xia Liuqing snapped angrily, "You little brat, you've got to be waiting for me here!"

Xia Linyuan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I didn't!"

Chen Duo stared at Xia Liuqing expressionlessly, as if she were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

"If this little girl hadn't ambushed me, I would have captured you just now, believe it or not!"

Xia Linyuan nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Chen Duo frowned, rolled up her sleeves, and thought, "It was clearly Xia Linyuan who was going easy on you, why didn't you make that clear..."

The complexities of interpersonal relationships are still a long way off for Chen Duo at this stage.

Fortunately, a clever little girl tackled Chen Duo to the ground. Her small body seemed to weigh a hundred pounds, pressing Chen Duo down without any power to resist. She smiled at Xia Liuqing and said, "Senior, the child is still young and doesn't know any better. Please don't take offense."

Xia Liuqing also recognized the little girl he had fought with yesterday. He brushed the dust off his clothes, put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes, and said, "Don't mind."

"That's good."

Wu Kui'er smiled and pulled Chen Duo to her feet. Before Chen Duo could say anything, she ran straight towards Fu Rong.

Chen Duo's eyes were still looking towards Xia Linyuan and his father.

Wu Kui'er sighed, "Chen Duo, you don't need to worry about them. They're family. Blood is thicker than water!"

Chen Duo frowned: "Why?"

Wu Kui'er: "We're family, there's no such thing as 'why'..."

Fu Rong chimed in, "Family is the best reason."

Chen Duo was greatly puzzled.

.......

"Grandson, does that girl like you?"

Xia Liuqing watched Chen Duo's retreating figure, then tugged at Xia Linyuan's sleeve, pulling him down a bit, and hooked her arm around his shoulder, a lewd smile on her aged face.

Upon hearing this, Xia Linyuan subconsciously shook his head: "Second Master, you should only say this to me. Please don't spread it around. It's not good for his reputation."

"Doesn't she like you?" Xia Liuqing chuckled. "Then why does she always protect you?"

After thinking for a moment, Xia Linyuan said in a serious tone, "Because Miss Chen Duo and I are friends."

"Due to certain reasons, Miss Chen Duo only has a theoretical understanding of some things. She has never put them into practice or had any real experience..."

Xia Liuqing pursed her lips: "Do you believe that reason?"

"I believe you," Xia Linyuan said firmly.

Seeing that the mockery on Xia Liuqing's face was becoming more and more obvious,

He said helplessly, "Second Master, it's shameful to be presumptuous."

"It's still very low."

Xia Linyuan added.

"I don't care," Xia Liuqing sneered. "Just don't let it interfere with holding your great-grandchild!"

"I'm only 21 years old this year (by Chinese reckoning)."

Xia Linyuan said calmly.

Xia Liuqing froze for a moment. "Yeah, I'm only 21, what's the rush?"

No, we have to make a reservation.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he glanced at Xia Linyuan's appearance again, and he felt instantly full.

So beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Why worry about not finding a partner?

Xia Liuqing immediately said in a serious voice, "Did you gain anything from the special training I gave you today?"

Xia Linyuan nodded very respectfully: "Yes."

"Do you really understand?"

Xia Liuqing raised her voice and asked.

Xia Linyuan said helplessly, "I really understand."

There is more than one path to godhood.

Xia Liuqing nodded in satisfaction. "As expected of my eldest grandson. He's so quick to understand!"

Xia Liuqing exhaled a breath of stale air and said earnestly, "Now that you understand, you should think carefully about how to step onto that third step."

My method and your grandfather's method may both have their merits, but ultimately they are our own exploration of the third stage of the Divine Mask.

You can choose one of them, or you can go your own way…

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "I understand, thank you for your guidance, Second Master."

Xia Liuqing opened her mouth, but swallowed the last words she wanted to say.

It's best to forge your own path.

'The road that your grandfather and I walked eventually came to an end.'

He was afraid that saying these words would cut off his grandson's path to the third tier, so he could only swallow his words.

He then offered Xia Linyuan a few words of encouragement before preparing to leave.

Xia Linyuan called out to Xia Liuqing, "Second Master, I have a house. Would you like to come and take a look sometime?"

Xia Liuqing chuckled: "Absolutely! It's my grandson's house!"

After saying that, he walked towards the wooden house where Mei Jinfeng lived. Judging from his small steps, he was probably going to tell his sweetheart something happy.

Xia Linyuan felt a moment of joy, but quickly suppressed it.

Reuniting with loved ones in times of crisis is not a joyous occasion.

Before entering Zhuge Qing's inner realm, Xia Linyuan might have directly followed Xia Liuqing's "deceiving heaven and earth" path, improving his own strength first before considering anything else.
