Chapter Forty-Four: The Body of Pure Yin

  "I'll go with you," Guo Ming said softly, staring intently at Shui Mengyao's eyes. "I've got everything under control."

  The weak and helpless appearance of Shui Mengyao evoked a strong desire to protect her from the bottom of Guo Ming's heart. He stretched out his hand, grasped Shui Mengyao's hand, and gently squeezed it. Shui Mengyao's heart moved, but she didn't pull away. The other person's large hand was so warm, so powerful, as if as long as he was by her side, she would never be hurt in the slightest.

  Guo Ming's movements were so harmonious and natural, without a hint of pretence or any other emotion. Both of them felt that this was the way it should be, as if they had been walking hand in hand for thousands of years. They gazed into each other's eyes, seeing themselves reflected in the brown pupils of the other person.

  At this moment, both of them understood that they were not unrequited loves, but rather two hearts that beat as one, with God having intertwined their fates.

  The whole class was stunned, Teacher Li and the principal were stunned, and Tang Feng was disappointed to the extreme.

  Mr. Li quickly reacted, clearing his throat with a sudden, awkward sound that was out of place in the silent classroom, but it was precisely Mr. Li's cough that broke the gaze between the two people.

  Guo Ming let go of Shui Mengyao's slender jade hand and stood up, saying softly: "Let's go!"

  Shui Mengyao nodded and walked out of the classroom under the gaze of all her classmates. Principal Han looked at Teacher Li, who showed a "I don't know either" expression and helplessly shook his head.

  Dongfang He sat in the principal's office, holding a cup of fragrant tea, and casually glanced around at the scene before him. His sword-like eyebrows furrowed tightly together. Everyone saw that his expression was unchanged, and not one person dared to speak up.

  Shui Mengyao followed the principal to see that the surrounding area of the principal's office was filled with people wearing black suits, which looked like a triad. Her heart felt even more uneasy. Guo Ming then showed a thoughtful expression and said softly: "Mengyao, you go in alone, I'll wait for you outside."

  "No, I don't dare," Water Dream Jade hastily grabbed onto Guo Ming's hand upon hearing this, her expression extremely anxious.

  "Meng Yao, don't worry, these people outside look like they're from the underworld. Guo Mingping and Dao."

  "En, Shuǐ Mèng Yáo nodded."

  "Hehe, they are more formidable than the underworld. I've attended Zi Yu's birthday party, and from their aura, I can confirm that they are descendants of China's aristocratic families. So you'll be fine if you go, they won't bother a small fry like you for no reason," Guo Ming said in a low voice.

  Shui Mengyao thought for a moment and immediately understood the implication of Guo Ming's words. She looked at Guo Ming gently and said softly, "You wait here for me."

  Shui Mengyao had just turned around to leave when Guo Ming felt a surge of indescribable emotions in his heart, as if this was the moment they would part ways forever. He reached out and grabbed Shui Mengyao's hand, gazing at her intensely with tears welling up in his eyes, wanting to say something but unable to speak. Shui Mengyao smiled lightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

  "Don't force yourself to do something you don't want to do," Guo Ming finally let go of Shui Mengyao's hand and said firmly.

  Shui Mengyao nodded and turned away.

  When Shui Mengyao gently pushed open the door, more than a dozen people turned to look at this stunning girl who had been rumored about. Among them were many masters, and their piercing gazes scared Shui Mengyao into taking only one glance before hastily lowering her head.

  Shui Ming hurriedly went forward, pulling Shui Mengyao along, and said softly: "Mengyao, don't be afraid, this is your grandfather."

  "Grandfather? Water Dream Jade was stunned, the term 'grandfather' had not formed even a tiny bit of memory in her mind, and she looked at the old man sitting in the principal's seat with confusion."

  When Shui Mengyao walked in, everyone felt a sudden gleam in their eyes. Especially Dongfang Jian, who was like a hunting dog, tightly fixated on the ethereal and mysterious Shui Mengyao. In his mind, he thought that besides Chen Ziyu, there shouldn't be another girl who could make him feel this way for the first time. But Shui Mengyao's appearance shattered his understanding. Although he knew she was his cousin, wasn't this even more thrilling and forbidden?

  Dongfang He released a strand of true energy into Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's body when she came in, and after a moment, his face showed a shocked expression, exclaiming: "A pure yin body."

  The people around heard the words and their faces changed greatly, a purely yin body. This kind of talent has only appeared in legends, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Wuji was a purely yang body, finally achieving the Nine Yang Divine Skill, reaching the strongest realm of eight stars. Since then, for hundreds of years, there has been no one with a purely yin or yang body in history.

  Today, it suddenly appeared under everyone's eyes, and this excitement is hard for ordinary people to understand. After the initial excitement, Dongfang He glared at Shui Zhongming with a fierce gaze, saying in a low voice: "Meng Yao, I'm going to take her away, she can't delay any longer, I'll train her into a top-notch expert in the mortal world."

  The voice of the Oriental Crane is filled with endless majesty and warning, an unmistakable absolute tone.

  He let out a bitter sigh in his heart, knowing that he had not brought Shui Mengyao to the Dongfang family before. Dongfang He was already dissatisfied with him back then. Now that Shui Mengyao possessed a rare and precious body of pure yin, the Dongfang family would definitely not want to let her go, no matter what. Even if he wasn't their relative, they would stop at nothing to take her away, because once Shui Mengyao was cultivated, she would absolutely become a top-notch expert.

  As the father of Meng Yao, he couldn't decide her fate, isn't that a sorrow? He looked up at the Eastern Crane, speechless for a long time. Shui Mengyao felt a little flustered in her heart, she seemed to understand something, if her father spoke out, then she would be far away from here, far away from Guo Ming, and forever bid farewell to everything here.

  Dongfang He slowly raised his right hand, the cup in his hand slightly shaking, and the faint remaining smoke of the fragrant tea quickly disappeared. Then, a fine crack appeared on the teacup. Dongfang He remained silent, staring coldly at his opponent.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo felt a strange sense of oppression and turned pale, hiding behind her father.

  She let out a cold laugh and said, "The biggest mistake I've made in my life is marrying into the Dongfang family. Hmph, after all these years, you're still bullying me, only this time it's my daughter who's the target. The Dongfang family is really something."

  With a crash, the tea cup in Dongfang He's hand turned into a pile of powder and slipped from his fingertips. A flash of anger crossed Dongfang He's face as he took a step forward, his voice cold: "Zhong Ming, don't force me. You know my principles. Today, I must take Meng Yao away, and you can't stop me."

  "Haha, it's really funny. She is my daughter and her first guardian. When will it be your turn to teach? Shui Ming also stepped forward, glaring at him angrily." He himself had been bullied and oppressed before, but today the Dong family actually bullied his daughter, he couldn't take it anymore, so he directly went up to question them.

  "What makes you think that, with my power, you should know how you became the deputy county head in the first place. I can make people carry you up, do you believe it or not, tomorrow I can make you step down," Dongfang He said coldly.
