After a meal, Ye Gucheng glanced at Wang Yang and the others, then stood up, cupped his hands in a fist salute, and said:
"Alliance Leader Wang, fellow practitioners!"
"All good things must come to an end, so I will take my leave now."
"This sparring session with Alliance Leader Wang has given me a new understanding of swordsmanship. Upon returning, I will immediately go into seclusion to further comprehend the art of swordsmanship."
"Until we meet again, everyone!"
Upon hearing what Ye Gucheng said, Wang Yang smiled calmly and replied:
Until we meet again!
Afterwards, Ye Gucheng left a few silver ingots on the counter and then left on his own.
After Ye Gucheng left, Yang Xiao and the others couldn't help but sigh:
"I never expected that Lord Ye would be such a sentimental person."
"This is quite different from the rumored aloof and cold demeanor!"
"I thought he really looked down on everyone else, like a celestial being descended to earth!"
"..."
Wang Yang didn't respond to Yang Xiao and the others' discussion, but just smiled meaningfully.
Others don't know Ye Gucheng's character.
But he knew it all too well.
His martial arts skills were superb, his schemes were grand, and his thinking was meticulous and ingenious.
He could certainly be called a ruthless and ambitious figure.
In the original novel, Ye Gucheng participated in the plot by the Prince of the South to usurp the throne.
He planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the decisive battle with Ximen Chuixue at the top of the Forbidden City to divert all the palace guards.
At that time, the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom can seize the throne.
Ye Gucheng did this simply because his swordsmanship had reached a state of perfection, and he had no further desires.
Such a person naturally feels the loneliness and isolation that comes with being at the top.
Therefore, he needed to realize greater ambitions, or one could say, to kill the rest of his boring life.
However, in this battle on the island in the center of West Lake, Wang Yang defeated Ye Gucheng.
This showed him that there is a higher pursuit in swordsmanship.
"It seems that from now on, both Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng will likely be seen as his targets to surpass!"
Wang Yang sighed inwardly.
Just then, a hearty laugh came from not far away:
"Hahaha!"
"Brother Wang, you guys are really hard to find!"
"They're actually drinking in this Star-Picking Tower!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
Upon closer inspection, they saw Huang Yaoshi leading Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang straight over.
"Island Master Huang!"
Wang Yang was slightly surprised when he saw Huang Yaoshi.
When Xiangyang was in dire need of help, Huang Yaoshi rushed to its aid upon hearing the news.
That's how I met Wang Yang.
Huang Yaoshi held Wang Yang in high regard, even regarding him as a close friend despite their age difference.
At the same time, Yang Xiao and the others, upon seeing that it was Huang Yaoshi who had arrived, all greeted him with great enthusiasm:
"Island Master Huang has arrived!"
"Quickly, take a seat and let's have a few drinks!"
"..."
Huang Yaoshi didn't stand on ceremony and led Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang to sit down.
While eating and drinking, Huang Yaoshi introduced Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang to Wang Yang and the others:
"Brother Wang, this is my last disciple, Cheng Ying, and the little girl next to her is her cousin."
"They have immense respect for Leader Wang, and even regard you... as their dream lover!"
As soon as Huang Yaoshi uttered these words, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were immediately flustered, their faces quickly turning red with embarrassment.
Cheng Ying quickly explained:
"Master! It was Wushuang who said...it wasn't me who said Alliance Leader Wang was her dream lover!"
As she spoke, Cheng Ying glanced at Lu Wushuang, who was standing to the side.
At this moment, Lu Wushuang was completely at a loss.
No one expected that Huang Yaoshi would say such a thing in front of Wang Yang.
This made her extremely embarrassed, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
"Senior Huang... Senior Huang! Why... why do you tell me everything!"
Lu Wushuang lowered her head and muttered something with a hint of resentment.
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing what Lu Wushuang said, Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Yang Xiao and the others at the same table couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
"Um?"
When Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo saw Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang's shy and bashful appearance, they both frowned.
At the same time, a sense of crisis arose in their hearts.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Shangguan Haitang snorted inwardly and muttered to herself:
"My dream lover?"
"They don't know Wang Yang's true colors!"
"This person is a ruthless killer!"
"If this continues, who knows how many more young girls will be deceived by him?"
After hearing what Huang Yaoshi said, Wang Yang smiled calmly and said:
"Island Master Huang is joking!"
"What merit do I possess to be someone else's dream lover?"
Seeing Wang Yang's humility, Huang Yaoshi was slightly surprised and replied:
"Brother Wang, don't be so modest!"
"A handsome young man like you, with such high martial arts skills, if I were a woman, I would also consider you my dream lover!"
After Huang Yaoshi said that, Yang Xiao and the others laughed again.
Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, unsure how to respond.
At this moment, Huang Yaoshi looked directly at Wang Yang, his eyes pleading, and said earnestly:
"Brother Wang, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you can grant it."
"Um?"
Wang Yang frowned slightly and replied, "Please speak, Island Master Huang!"
Huang Yaoshi didn't keep anyone in suspense and answered directly:
"As you know, I'm used to being a loner."
"I brought my disciple Cheng Ying and her cousin Lu Wushuang to Hangzhou this time, also to see your heroic and divine appearance, Brother Wang."
"Now that the decisive battle has come to an end, I will not linger here any longer."
At this point, Huang Yaoshi paused slightly, glanced at Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, and continued:
"My disciple Cheng Ying and her cousin Lu Wushuang, Brother Wang, could you take them on a trip? It would broaden their horizons!"
As soon as Huang Yaoshi uttered these words...
Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang blushed and lowered their heads in unison, looking as shy as young girls.
Although they looked shy, the two girls didn't object, and were secretly delighted.
They had heard about Wang Yang's various deeds from Huang Yaoshi long before.
In addition, there were various rumors circulating in the martial arts world.
Wang Yang has been portrayed as a great hero.
The two women naturally admired such a heroic figure.
In addition, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang witnessed Wang Yang's heroic and valiant fighting against Ye Gucheng on the island in the middle of West Lake!
Finally, he even defeated Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City.
Those scenes, even now, still fascinate the two women and remain unforgettable.
Right now, Huang Yaoshi has taken the initiative to ask Wang Yang to take them on a trip. How could Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang not be excited?
After hearing what Huang Yaoshi said, Wang Yang glanced at Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang.
Both women were beauties, and Wang Yang would naturally not refuse to travel with such beauties by his side.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yang looked back at Huang Yaoshi and said with a smile, "Since Island Master Huang has said so, I agree."
