Chapter - 399 Master Yideng (9) (1/2)

Huang Rong sighed, ”Too bad you have forgotten one thing,” she said.

”What is it?” Guo Jing asked.

”That the Reverend is poisoned and we don't know when he is going to be well,” Huang Rong replied.

Guo Jing was silent. After a while he hatefully said, ”That Ying Gu is so evil.” Suddenly he called out, ”Ah, this is bad!”

Huang Rong jumped up in surprise. ”What is it?” she asked.

”You have promised Ying Gu that after your recovery you will accompany her for a year. Shall we fulfill this promise or not?” Guo Jing said.

”What do you say?” Huang Rong asked.

Guo Jing replied, ”If she did not give us direction then we would not be able to find Reverend Yideng. It would be difficult to say what your injury's condition will be …”

”What would be difficult to say?” Huang Rong cut him off, ”Just say it plainly that my little life could not be preserved. You are a gentleman whose words are as a mountain; you certainly want me to abide by mine.” She was thinking about how Guo Jing was not willing to cancel his engagement with Huazheng; she could not help dejectedly hang down her head.

Guo Jing did not have the slightest idea his girl was pouring out her heart's contents; Huang Rong was on the verge of tears, but he was oblivious. He said, ”Ying Gu said your father possesses divine mathematical skill and he is a hundred times superior to her. Let's just say you are willing to teach her some mathematical skill, in the end it will still be difficult to her to even scratch your father's skin; then why would she still want you to accompany her for a year?”

Huang Rong covered her face and did not answer. Guo Jing was indifferent, he repeated his question. Huang Rong was angry, ”You are so dumb that you don't know anything!” she scolded him.

Guo Jing did not understand why she suddenly lost her patience and scolded him; he could only scratch his head and said, ”Rong'er! I am dumb, that's why I am asking you to explain it to me.”

Huang Rong had already regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth, now listening to him meekly admitting his stupidity she could not hold herself any longer; she threw herself to his bosom and cried. Guo Jing became more confused than ever, he gently patted her back trying to console her. Huang Rong pulled Guo Jing's sleeve and used it to wipe her tears. She smiled and said, ”Jing Gege, I am the bad one; next time I certainly won't scold you anymore.”

”I am dumb, so what's wrong with you saying it out loud?” Guo Jing said.

”Ay, you are a good man, I am a bad girl,” Huang Rong said, ”All right, let me tell you. That Ying Gu has an animosity against my father. She wants to learn mathematic so she can go to the Peach Blossom Island to seek revenge. Afterwards she found out that in mathematics she is inferior to me, in martial art she is inferior to you; she knew it was hopeless for her to seek revenge. Therefore, she wants to keep me as a hostage and tell my father to rescue me. This way from a guest she becomes the host and she can build a treacherous plan to harm him.”

Suddenly Guo Jing understood; he slapped his thigh and said, ”Ah, that's totally right! Then you don't have to fulfill your promise.”

”What do you mean not fulfilling my promise? I have to fulfill my promise,” Huang Rong said.
