Chapter 920: Autumn Moon’s Harmonious Echo (I)
Flames surged beneath his feet as Guo Hongkang skimmed across the surface of the Eastern Sea, evaporating mist into the air. He was clearly anxious, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the sea.
The woman beside him was still frowning and complaining, but Guo Hongkang paid her no mind. He had grown familiar with her during their journey and knew it was best to simply ignore her.
I’ve long heard of Guo Hongyao’s name... she truly is someone who won’t listen to anyone, thought Guo Hongkang.
Guo Hongyao’s status was far nobler than his. Her father was a legitimate descendant of the Purple Mansion Realm, though her mother was a mortal, which made her somewhat unwelcome. Fortunately, her elder brothers doted on her. Truthfully speaking, Guo Hongkang’s cultivation resources for the year couldn’t match what she received in a single month.
Born above thousands, yet with the temperament of a spoiled noble daughter.
In Guo Hongkang’s eyes, Guo Hongyao had brought it all upon herself. First, she had flown into a wild temper and inexplicably broken off her engagement with Xi Chang of Chunyi Dao Gate. The man's grandfather had just emerged with divine powers and made him the sect’s young master, so everyone now looked at her with mocking eyes.
Then she managed several islands and completely ruined their businesses. When she was sent to the Li Family to investigate Xu Xiao, she suddenly drew her sword and pointed it at their young master’s throat!
So she had been ordered to return to the Eastern Sea. Guo Hongkang heard that Daoist Master Junjian had seized her Purple Mansion Realm spirit artifact. The matter had then escalated up to Daoist Master Tianwan, who slapped her publicly and banished her from the island.
A Purple Mansion Realm immortal descendant, and beautiful too... if she doesn’t speak, everyone thinks she’s a fairy. But once she does, all pity her. A background others can only envy, yet she acts this foolishly—how can someone like this even exist!
Guo Hongkang’s own branch had long declined. He had dreamed many times of gaining just a little more resources, so watching her squander everything made him grit his teeth in resentment. To make matters worse, Daoist Master Junjian had now broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm, and even her brothers no longer dared to protect her...
