The hall fell silent.
Lu Guanying hurriedly asked, "Which hero is the best candidate?"
Li Huan's gaze immediately fell on Guo Jing.
Instantly, Guo Jing straightened his chest and smiled.
He believed that he fully met the criteria of being "of high moral character and prestige, just and kind, and patriotic and caring for the people".
Li Huan said, "My ideal candidate is..."
After a few seconds of pause, Li Huan suddenly raised his voice.
"That's my wife, Huang Rong!"
Guo Jing was stunned, his expression awkward.
Huang Rong hurriedly said, "Brother Huan, my martial arts skills are far inferior to yours. How can I be qualified to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?"
Li Huan said loudly, "As everyone knows, Huang Rong is the disciple of Hong Qigong, the Northern Beggar, and the daughter of Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic. She has served as the leader of the Beggar Clan for the past fourteen years!"
"Although Huang Rong was no match for the Golden Wheel Monk, she was clever and resourceful, adept at using strategies, and had a great influence in the martial arts world!"
"Moreover, with the help of her senior brother Guo Jing, Huang Rong and the Beggars' Sect disciples will surely be able to resist the Mongol army and protect the Song Dynasty!"
Li Huan's words were met with agreement from everyone.
Today's "Heroes' Gathering" was originally initiated by the Beggars' Sect, which shows that Huang Rong has a very high status in the martial arts world.
Lu Guanying proposed: "How about this! Establish the position of 'Vice Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance' and appoint Uncle Huang to it. When Leader Li is traveling around the world, Uncle Huang can promptly gather the heroes of the martial arts world to deal with the Mongol Tartars!"
After he finished speaking, everyone agreed.
"Good! Lady Huang will serve as the vice leader!"
"With Alliance Leader Li and Alliance Leader Huang joining forces, they are invincible!"
"With two martial arts alliance leaders in charge, the Golden Wheel Monk will never dare to act recklessly again!"
...
Lu Guanying clasped his hands and said, "Alliance Leader Li, please do not be modest. All heroes and valiant men under heaven follow the lead of Alliance Leader Li and Alliance Leader Huang!"
Seeing that he could not refuse, and with Huang Rong appointed as the vice leader of the alliance, Li Huan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Yang Guo walked over, returned the "Qinggang Sword" to Li Huan, and sincerely praised it.
"Uncle Li's sword is incredibly sharp; it can cut through iron like mud!"
Li Huan picked up the "Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword" and laughed, "The Bone-Shaving Sword is actually the weapon used by the 'Sword Demon' Dugu Qiubai in his lifetime. It is made of mysterious iron from outer space and weighs sixty-four jin!"
"You have mastered profound martial arts. I present you with the Xuan Tie Sword, hoping that you will punish evil and promote good, uphold justice, and kill all the wicked villains in the world!"
Yang Guo was immediately excited. He secretly channeled his inner strength and respectfully accepted the "Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword".
Afterwards, everyone continued eating boxed lunches and drinking Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), creating a very lively atmosphere.
Yang Guo sat at the table, glancing at the gate and then at Li Fu, appearing restless.
Li Fu lowered her head, shyly avoiding Yang Guo's gaze.
Ding! The system issued a notification sound!
[Congratulations, Master! You have exceeded expectations in completing the first task of transmigrating into "The Return of the Condor Heroes"!]
[Two hundred thousand taels of silver have been automatically converted into special points, which can be exchanged for unparalleled martial arts skills from "The Return of the Condor Heroes"!]
Li Huan quickly checked the system panel and browsed through various peerless martial arts techniques.
"Jade Maiden Heart Sutra", "Heartbreak Palm", "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill", "Ambidextrous Fighting Technique", "One-Finger Divine Skill"...
Among them, "Ambidextrous Fighting Technique" and "One-Finger Divine Skill" are also top-tier martial arts in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
After a moment's thought, Li Huan spent all 200,000 special points to quickly exchange for the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra", "Ambidextrous Fighting Technique", and "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill"!
[Congratulations, Master! You have mastered the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, the Ambidextrous Technique, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill!]
Li Huan chose the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and the Ambidextrous Technique because he could use the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts in one hand and the Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts in the other, making him invincible!
Moreover, the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra boasts the fastest lightness skill in the world, along with other awesome martial arts such as the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique, the Soul Transfer Technique, and the Heavenly Net Formation.
Li Huan chose the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" because it is the supreme divine skill of the Western Regions' esoteric sect, with a total of thirteen levels.
After reaching the tenth level, the palm strike becomes powerful and fierce, possessing the strength of ten dragons and ten elephants, and nearly a thousand catties!
Li Huan checked the system panel and found that his "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" had reached the twelfth level, and its combat power completely overwhelmed the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms"!
This was the lifelong dream of the Golden Wheel Monk, but he only managed to reach the tenth level in the end.
Li Huan was overjoyed; the 200,000 points were well spent!
After downing half a jin of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), Guo Jing's face flushed, and his previously low spirits gradually rose.
"Guo'er, I really didn't expect that you would become Xiaolongnu's disciple and learn the superior martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect. I am very pleased!"
Guo Jing said with emotion, poured himself another glass of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), and said to Li Huan.
"Senior Brother, my junior sister and I have discussed betrothing Fu'er to Guo'er. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fu blushed even more and buried her face in Huang Rong's arms.
Yang Guo's face flushed slightly, and his heart raced.
Li Huan was a little annoyed.
He knew that Guo Jing's real reason for wanting Li Fu to marry Yang Guo was not to enthusiastically matchmake a couple who secretly loved each other, but because he was mindful of his brotherhood with Yang Kang.
This brotherly bond, inherited from their fathers, had already fractured and disintegrated in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
But Guo Jing didn't hate Yang Kang for his betrayal and treason. Instead, he wanted Li Fu to marry Yang Kang's son, Yang Guo. Guo Jing's actions were entirely for the purpose of seeking self-comfort.
Li Huan believes that Guo Jing is still pedantic and even ridiculous.
My precious daughter can decide who she wants to marry! Why should you, Guo Jing, interfere?
Originally, Li Huan hoped that Li Fu would marry Yang Guo in order to change the fate of his daughter and Yang Guo and give them a happy life.
When Guo Jing brought up the matter at this moment, Li Huan couldn't help but feel rebellious.
Seeing Li Huan frown and remain silent, Guo Jing, reeking of alcohol, tried to persuade him.
"Guo'er is highly skilled in martial arts, upright in character, and has publicly admitted his love for Fu'er. I think Fu'er also admires Guo'er. What concerns does Senior Brother still have?"
Huang Rong embraced Li Fu, her eyes smiling as she gazed at Li Huan without offering any opinion.
Guo Jing then said, "Guo'er is eighteen now, and Fu'er is of marriageable age..."
"Shut up!" Li Huan snapped without any politeness. "Junior brother, have you had too much to drink? Who Fu'er wants to marry is none of your business!"
Guo Jing was taken aback.
Li Huan said, "Just like Rong'er fourteen years ago, if she wanted to marry me, no one needed to worry about it, and no one was allowed to interfere!"
Guo Jing quickly replied, "Parents should decide on their children's marriages."
"Be your boss!" Li Huan retorted sharply. "You're over thirty years old, how come you're getting more and more old-fashioned? Why don't you have a daughter and marry her off to Yang Guo?"
The hall became quieter.
Guo Jing looked extremely embarrassed.
Li Huan suddenly smiled and patted Guo Jing on the shoulder.
“Brother, I understand your thoughts! I hope you and Huazheng will work hard to have another daughter, who can marry Yang Guo in the future, thus comforting the spirit of your brother Yang Kang in heaven.”
"I...I..." Guo Jing was speechless, looking extremely embarrassed.
Li Fu immediately became anxious and shouted, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about!"
