Chapter 132 Apology
"Master Guo, Chief Huang, I have already told Guo'er about what happened back then."
He had a clear understanding of how Yang Kang died.
Therefore, I hope you will treat each other with honesty.
Don't assume that just because he's young, he doesn't understand anything.
Furthermore, do not make choices for him under the guise of doing what is best for him.
Sincerity is the most important thing in getting along with others.
Guo'er has suffered a lot over the years and is most sensitive to honesty and dishonesty.
If you are not willing to treat him with sincerity, then do not try to teach him as an elder in the future.
He has received no favors from you, nor does he need to heed your teachings.
Gu Qianbei looked at Guo Jing and Huang Rong and spoke slowly.
His gaze was sincere, and his tone was calm, but what he said surprised Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
"Master Gu, how do you know so much?"
Huang Rong voiced her doubts, but Gu Qianbei simply smiled and shook his head.
"These things aren't important. Alright, that's all I have to say. Brother Qiao is waiting for me to have a drink, you two continue your conversation."
Gu Qianbei patted Yang Guo on the shoulder and left with Qiao Feng.
Only Guo Jing's family and Yang Guo remained in the pavilion.
At this moment, Guo Jing's gaze fell on Yang Guo, his eyes filled with a mixture of guilt and pity.
If he had found Yang Guo earlier, perhaps Yang Guo wouldn't have had to suffer for so many years, and perhaps Mu Nianci wouldn't have died.
"Guo'er, I'm sorry. It's because Uncle Guo didn't teach your father well that you and your mother have suffered for so many years."
From now on, you'll stay with me. I'll treat you well and never let you suffer the slightest grievance.
Guo Jing said with a guilty look on his face.
Huang Rong was somewhat worried about Guo Jing's decision.
With just one glance, she could tell that Yang Guo was a more intelligent person than Yang Kang.
If such a person harbors evil intentions, given Guo Jing's character, he will likely be killed sooner or later.
Huang Rong still remembers the knife Yang Kang used to almost kill Guo Jing.
The fear she felt then still wakes her up in the middle of the night.
"Uncle Guo, I appreciate your kindness. But I'm doing very well now, following my master."
I have no plans to leave my master for the time being, nor will I in the future.
My master once said that in this world, if you receive a favor from someone, you will owe them a debt of gratitude.
Now I only owe him one thing, but he doesn't expect anything in return. He just hopes that I will grow into the person I want to be.
But if I owe others favors or carry their expectations, then I have more responsibilities.
Especially someone as great as Uncle Guo, a true hero.
If I were to grow up under your care, you would surely expect me to join you in defending Xiangyang and protecting the Song Dynasty.
However, the corruption of the Song Dynasty had reached a point where it was beyond repair.
While guarding Xiangyang could protect the people of the region, it also allowed the Song Dynasty to rest easy and indulge in pleasure, while all the people of the Song Dynasty suffered.
Even if we want to save the country, I believe there is more than one way to do it.
I haven't found the answer yet, and I don't want to fall into your expectations.
Therefore, I want to travel the world with my master, and then make my own choice once I find the answer.
I hope you can understand, Uncle Guo.
Yang Guo's words stunned not only Guo Jing but also Huang Rong.
How could they not be surprised that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy could say such things?
For a moment, they all looked at Gu Qianbei with newfound respect.
This seemingly young winemaker appears to be more than he seems.
At the very least, this level of insight is not something an ordinary winemaker can possess.
"Guo'er, you..."
Guo Jing wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin.
Yang Guo then looked at Huang Rong.
"Aunt Guo, I know about the grudges between you and my father, and I also know that you are wary of me."
This is only natural, and I can understand it.
But please rest assured, I have no intention of seeking revenge against you.
I know my father wasn't a good person back then, and he deserved to die.
Therefore, please don't try to scheme against me.
Although I, Yang Guo, am not a hero, I can still distinguish right from wrong.
My father framed you back then, and he didn't have time to apologize to you, so I'm apologizing to you on his behalf.
sorry!
And Uncle Guo.
"Back then, my father conspired with Ouyang Feng to kill your five masters. I apologize to you on his behalf!"
Yang Guo cupped his hands slightly and bowed deeply to the two men.
This action completely stunned Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
Guo Jing's eyes welled up with tears, his gaze filled with admiration and wonder.
Kangdi's son has grown into such an outstanding young man.
Sure enough, there was no problem with the Yang family's bloodline; it was Kangdi who was corrupted by that bastard Wanyan Honglie.
Otherwise, Kangdi would look like Yang Guo today.
Huang Rong was also shocked by Yang Guo's actions.
The initial wariness that had just arisen was now dispelled by shame.
I can't believe I was so wary of such a sensible and intelligent child. I'm so ashamed.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong immediately each grabbed one of Yang Guo's arms and helped him up.
"Guo'er, you don't need to be like this. Hearing your words, I think Kangdi and Miss Mu can rest in peace in the afterlife."
Guo Jing was deeply moved.
Huang Rong added, "Guo'er, your words truly shame Aunt Guo. You have a wonderful master."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo revealed a faint smile.
Indeed, he has a good mentor.
In the distance, Qiao Feng and Gu Qianbei were already drinking.
Gu Qianbei's ears twitched slightly, taking in all three people's conversation, and he couldn't help but smile.
Yang Guo was even more outstanding than he had imagined.
"Although Brother Gu led me away from the pavilion, he is still worried about that young man."
Qiao Feng drank his wine while laughing.
"After all, he is my first apprentice, so I have to be careful."
This child has a pitiful background and is prone to extremism; if we don't keep a close eye on him, things won't go well.
Gu Qianbei said with a smile, and then drank a cup as well.
"That young man is truly fortunate to have such a good master as you."
Qiao Feng sighed.
"Meeting me was truly his good fortune."
Gu Qianbei didn't mince words and readily admitted it.
This surprised Qiao Feng for a moment, then he burst into laughter.
"Brother Gu is as generous as ever. I wonder if you have any newly brewed fine wines lately that you could bring out for me to try?"
"Don't worry, Brother Qiao will not be treated unfairly."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly, took out the Cangguang Gourd, and poured out a cup of Xuan She Dew.
"This wine is excellent. Not only is it very potent, but it can also boost your strength. Brother Qiao, you should give it a try."
"Oh? That makes me even more curious."
Qiao Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
It had a different flavor from Thousand Days' Intoxication and sorghum liquor, but it was just as potent, making Qiao Feng exclaim with delight.
The slight increase in internal strength and power within his body surprised him greatly.
It should be noted that it would take Qiao Feng, who was already a Grandmaster, several months, or even longer, to improve his internal energy.
Now that he'd accomplished it with just a glass of wine, how could he not be astonished?
"Indeed fine wine! Now I understand why Brother Gu was only at the Innate Realm a month ago, but is now a Grandmaster."
So, Brother Gu's wisdom lies in this wine.
