Chapter 1390 Guo Xinrou's Apprenticeship
Gossip is the commonality of everyone, both men and women. Sometimes, men’s gossip mentality is stronger than that of women.
During the breakfast period, a large number of Guo family members gathered around Huang Hao, and even a few older generations from the Guo family gathered around Huang Hao and asked what happened between Huang Hao and Guo Xinrou last night.
Even the older generations of the Guo family said obscurely that it wouldn't matter if there was really anything. They could arrange the wedding in the next few days and let Guo Xinrou pass by. Huang Hao didn't have to deal with anything and just stared at being the groom.
In the end, the eldest grandfather of the Guo family also joined the gossip army and promised Huang Hao that he would prepare a strong dowry for Guo Xinrou.
Huang Hao could only express speechlessness in this regard. After explaining a few words, he found that these people, driven by the heart of gossip, could not listen to any explanation at all. He could only give up, bury his head and stop talking.
Guo Xinrou has not appeared, and she doesn't know what she is doing at the moment. However, Huang Hao guessed that Guo Xinrou should be practicing slaves at this moment.
Yesterday, Huang Hao put a strong medicine on Guo Xinrou. Not only did he use body-building spiritual liquid to enhance Guo Xinrou's physique, but he also used a few level five pills to cleanse Guo Xinrou's marrow and cut off hair, which greatly improved Guo Xinrou's qualifications many times. Such qualifications can be considered a genius even if they were placed in the Demon-Sealing Continent.
However, this method has somewhat boosted the growth. If you want to have a better effect, you still need to soak the body-solidity liquid for a long time and take the elixir for marrow cleaning and hair removal step by step. Just like Huang Hao’s confidantes, Huang Hao was not so radical. These days they were just soaking the body-solidity liquid. As for the elixir for marrow cleaning and hair removal, they have not been used yet.
Having said that, Huang Hao has used the most secure method for Guo Xinrou's improvement. Even though it means to pull out seedlings to help grow, because what Huang Hao passed on to Guo Xinrou was a real immortal method, Guo Xinrou will inevitably be able to make up for the shortcomings quickly after long-term practice, so as not to affect the future path of cultivation.
However, what Huang Hao didn't know was that when he was surrounded by the Guo family, Guo Xinrou was curling up in her room with horror, looking at an old man in front of her in horror.
The old man was extremely old and covered with gullies, like a wheat field exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, with deep cracks everywhere. His clothes were worn out, but they were washed very clean. Although he was extremely old, he still gave people a feeling of being a fairy-like spirit.
This old man was the mysterious old man in the Thunder Tribulation Valley. However, the old man appeared in shock that day, just like the most ordinary practitioner of the Tribulation Period, and did not attract much attention.
The reason why Guo Xinrou trembled in horror was not because she was scared by the old man's appearance. On the contrary, Guo Xinrou was very hearted and brave. Even if she met a vicious criminal, she would not be so panicked. The real trembling of Guo Xinrou was the strong pressure that emanated from the old man.
"Good boy, don't be afraid!" The old man spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, but it seemed as if he could ease the fear in his heart.
At this moment, Guo Xinrou only felt the pressure acting on her body disappearing, and replaced by a kind of softness as if it were spring breeze and rain. Under such softness, Guo Xinrou only felt the fear in her heart disappearing suddenly.
"Grandpa, who are you and why are you in my room!" Guo Xinrou asked in a low voice, her voice calm, but with a little questioning look.
"Haha, I am your future master!" The old man smiled and spoke, the wrinkles on his face relaxed, and he actually had a bit of kind eyebrows.
Guo Xinrou blinked her eyes, full of confusion: "Grandpa, are you kidding? I don't mean to be a disciple."
The old man shook his head and said, "You will be willing to worship me as your teacher."
"Why?" Guo Xinrou showed a sense of defense in her eyes. She heard that the old man was obviously confident. Could it be that if she didn't want to, the old man would forcibly kidnap her?
"Because, only by being my apprentice can you become Huang Hao's woman." The old man narrowed his eyes, and a light suddenly appeared in his originally turbid gaze.
Hearing the old man's words, Guo Xinrou's face changed suddenly, and a look of expectation suddenly appeared in her eyes. But the next moment, the look of expectation in her eyes turned into stronger defense.
"Are you going to be bad for Huang Hao?" Guo Xinrou looked at the old man, and a sharp edge appeared in her eyes.
"Yes, I just need you to approach Huang Hao and then kill Huang Hao." The old man laughed loudly, and the laughter was filled with a cold murderous intent.
However, the next moment, Guo Xinrou suddenly rose from the ground. At some point, there was a sharp dagger in her hand. The sharpness of the dagger hit the old man's throat.
However, before the dagger could approach the old man's throat, a powerful energy jammed the dagger tightly, as if it was a huge pliers, making Guo Xinrou unable to stab the dagger again no matter how hard he tried.
"Little girl, do you know that no one who dares to attack me will end up with good ending?" The old man narrowed his eyes, his eyes were cold and evil: "Be my disciple and become my pawn to kill Huang Hao. I can not only spare your life, but also make you the most powerful existence in the world."
"You're dreaming!" Guo Xinrou shouted angrily: "I will never help you kill Huang Hao!"
The old man snorted coldly: "Okay, I'm shameless. Since you already know my purpose and don't want to be my teacher, then I can only let you die."
While speaking, the old man pointed his finger and a sword energy burst into pieces, reaching Guo Xinrou's eyebrows. In an instant, the sword energy had already floated less than a centimeter in front of Guo Xinrou's eyebrows, making a buzzing sound.
However, the sword energy did not penetrate Guo Xinrou's eyebrows in the end. But the old man said, "Little baby, I am tolerant of you because I like your qualifications. However, it is not uncommon for such qualifications. If you are not bad, I will find another one. Now I will give you the last chance. Will you agree to my request? Take me as your teacher and kill Huang Hao for me?"
Guo Xinrou felt a terrifying pressure that came again as the old man fell. Compared to the pressure he had when he first met the old man, the pressure that Guo Xinrou felt was even stronger and more sharp.
At this moment, Guo Xinrou was trembling like a sieve, her face full of pain.
"Little girl, are you going to kill Huang Hao?" the old man said coldly, and the sword energy floating outside Guo Xinrou's eyebrows also began to slowly push into Guo Xinrou's eyebrows, and blood was already seen in an instant.
"You will die of this heart. Even if I die, I will not let you do what you want!" However, under the powerful pressure and the terrifying threat of death, Guo Xinrou's heart had no idea where she got the strength. She stood up with the terrifying pressure, staring at the old man with blood red eyes, her voice hoarse but with aura of looking at death.
The old man laughed in anger: "For a man who doesn't love you, do you even want your own life?"
"Although he doesn't love me, I love him!" Guo Xinrou smiled, her face as beautiful as flowers blooming: "Kill me, he will definitely avenge me!"
"Okay, okay, okay, since you don't know how to politely, then I'll send you on your way!" The old man shouted.
Guo Xinrou closed her eyes and went to death calmly without any regrets.
But the next moment, she suddenly realized that all the aura and pressure around her disappeared in an instant, and the sword energy that was emitting the biting coldness that was floating between her eyebrows also disappeared.
She opened her eyes and looked at the old man in front of her with a look of surprise. She saw that the old man's face at this moment had no previous fierce aura, but had regained the kindness he had when he met.
"Don't you kill me?" Guo Xinrou said in confusion.
"Why should I kill you?" the old man laughed and said, "You are a good child. If you kill you, the old man will regret it for the rest of my life."
"Then you..." Guo Xinrou blinked her eyes, her pretty face was a little stiff, and she had not yet eased from the tension she had just now.
"It was just my test for you. If you agree to my request, you are dead." The old man laughed and said, "I am very pleased that you have passed my test."
When Guo Xinrou heard this, her brow frowned and said with a little anger: "It's a boring test! What exactly do you want to do?"
"Of course I'm taking you as my disciple!" the old man smiled.
"What, do you want me to kill Huang Hao?" Guo Xinrou suddenly became nervous: "Don't dream!"
"Haha, of course not. If you take me as your teacher, you will inherit a huge force. This force can help Huang Hao and help him climb a stronger peak one day in the future. And then, you will also become Huang Hao's woman, are you willing?" The old man's eyes suddenly became extremely serious. His eyes looked at Guo Xinrou, like two black holes, as if he was about to suck Guo Xinrou's mind into it.
"Really? Can I really help Huang Hao?" Guo Xinrou felt a fire ignited in her heart as if she listened to the old man's words.
"You are naturally not good now, but if you are a teacher, you will pass on everything I have mastered to you. At that time, you will be Huang Hao's greatest help!" The old man said slowly: "However, if you become a disciple, you will take you out of here today."
"Leave here? Where to go?" Guo Xinrou was full of doubts.
"Immortal Realm!" the old man whispered indifferently.
Guo Xinrou lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I am willing to worship you as my teacher!"
While speaking, Guo Xinrou knelt down solemnly, bowed three times and nine times to the old man, and shouted respectfully: "I have seen Master!"
"Good boy, get up." The old man waved his hand, and a gentle force helped Guo Xinrou up: "Since you have become a disciple, you will take you to the fairy world. However, before leaving, the disciple has to help Huang Hao that boy."
While speaking, the old man turned his head and looked at the void outside the window, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed it heavily in the void.
"boom--"
At this moment, the whole world seemed to tremble.
