Later, Qiu Chuji came and took your father as his disciple.
But Qiu Chuji was a battle maniac, always looking for people to fight. Your father didn't learn any advanced martial arts from him.
However, one day...
Your father, Yang Kang, accidentally discovered a blind woman practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw in the palace, so he used all his cunning to become her disciple.
This woman had a fearsome reputation in the martial arts world; she was none other than Mei Chaofeng, the "Iron Corpse" of the "Black Wind Duo"...
Chen Yan said this.
There were many exclamations and murmurs from the surrounding area.
Although Mei Chaofeng has been dead for more than a decade, many people in the martial arts world have heard of her infamous reputation.
She was said to be a disgraced disciple of Peach Blossom Island who killed many innocent people in order to practice the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
She is far more ruthless than the current female demon Li Mochou.
"...My father, my father actually took such a female demon as his master?!"
Yang Guo was shocked and felt flustered.
When a normal person sees a female demon like Mei Chaofeng, they will either fight her or run for their life.
His father, Yang Kang, went to great lengths to become an apprentice to such a person, which shows that his character was far from good.
Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Ke Zhen'e also arrived outside the crowd of onlookers at this time.
After hearing Chen Yan's story, they were all secretly moved.
Who would have thought that Yang Kang became Mei Chaofeng's disciple in this way back then?
"This person, this person is truly amazing! He actually knows a secret from over thirty years ago! Could it be, could it be, that he really is a deity?!"
Guo Fu was shocked by Chen Yan's omniscience.
Looking at Chen Yan's outstanding appearance and unrestrained temperament, he was even more impressive than his father Guo Jing in terms of demeanor and spirit, which made her blush.
"Hmph! Mei Chaofeng is ruthless, vicious, and ungrateful. It's not easy for her to take on disciples. Yang Kang must have been extremely obsequious back then, otherwise he could never have won Mei Chaofeng's favor... Bah! What a shameless scoundrel!"
Ke Zhen snorted angrily.
Guo Jing wanted to say a few words in defense of his sworn brother, but the words caught in his throat. He sighed inwardly, thinking that his sworn brother Yang Kang was truly a shameless and despicable person, and he couldn't help but feel sad and disheartened...
Then he looked up at Chen Yan.
I wanted to see what Master Chen, who had recently become the most popular figure in the martial arts world, looked like. After seeing him clearly, I couldn't help but cheer in my heart!
He is indeed a handsome man with an extraordinary and unrestrained demeanor.
Chen Yan then noticed him in the crowd, looked at him, and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Guo Jing was taken aback, his heart filled with horror.
I never expected that just one glance at Chen Yan would be enough for him to notice me. I wonder how high Master Chen's internal energy level has reached...
At this moment, Chen Yan took a sip of tea and continued, "Time quickly passed until Yang Kang turned eighteen."
That day, as usual, he took a group of his men for a stroll in the streets.
Passing by a crowd, they discovered a young woman in a red wedding dress competing in martial arts to find a husband on a stage.
The young girl was beautiful and charming, with a slender figure and graceful movements. She was also quite strong, defeating one challenger after another.
Yang Kang was bored and, seeing the girl's beauty, his heart skipped a beat, and he jumped onto the martial arts contest stage to choose a husband..."

Chapter 129 Yang Guo Collapses Again: My Father Killed My Father?
Inside the fortune-telling shop.
Chen Yan was recounting what happened to Yang Kang back then, and when he got to the part about the martial arts contest to choose a husband...
Guo Jing, standing outside the fortune-telling shop, had a sudden thought.
He clearly remembered that the first time he met Yang Kang was at this martial arts contest to choose a husband.
Looking at Chen Yan's young face, he was horrified.
"Judging from this Master Chen's age, he is at most in his early twenties. Why does he know so clearly about things from twenty years ago? It seems that even if he is not a master, he possesses many divine abilities."
"Well, after Guo'er finishes his questioning, I also want to ask him a crucial question..."
Having made up his mind, Guo Jing turned his attention back to Chen Yan in the fortune-telling shop.
Chen Yan continued, "Yang Kang jumped onto the stage. He was quite strong, but he was too arrogant at the beginning. He didn't even take off his robe, and the girl guarding the stage tore his sleeve."
According to the agreement of the martial arts contest to choose a husband, he had already lost.
However, he was not convinced, so he took off his robe and became serious.
With a clever tug, he pulled the girl in the red wedding dress to the ground, then took the opportunity to embrace her slender waist, and with a swift motion of his right hand, removed one of her red embroidered shoes.
The girl was put down, and she fell to the ground with a thud, feeling both ashamed and angry, which made many of the vagrants around her laugh.
Yang Kang smiled slightly, brought the girl's red embroidered shoes to his nose, and teased, "Smells good."
"This...this guy actually took off a young girl's shoes in public and even smelled them! Isn't that the behavior of a spoiled brat?!"
"Wow! Yang Kang's got some tricks up his sleeve; he likes to smell young girls' shoes!"
Upon hearing this, the people around started to murmur amongst themselves.
Some people called Yang Kang a dissolute playboy.
Some people despise Yang Kang for even smelling women's shoes.
Yang Guo clenched his fists, his heart in turmoil, finding it hard to believe that his father had done such dissolute and dissolute things back then.
Seeing Yang Guo's sad expression, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang exchanged a glance and offered their comfort.
"Brother Yang, don't be too sad. Perhaps, perhaps your father was just a bit impulsive, but he's still a very good person at heart..."
Chen Yan listened as they comforted Yang Guo.
I couldn't help but find it amusing.
If Yang Kang is considered a good-hearted person, then there probably aren't many bad people in the world.
However, from a certain perspective, the environment shapes a person.
Yang Kang was in such an environment, with sycophants fawning over him, a prince father who doted on him, a mother, Bao Xiruo, who was not very good at managing affairs, and a master, Qiu Chuji, who was a fighting maniac and did not usually take good care of educating him.
Logically speaking, the probability that he went astray is quite high.
But bad people can emerge from good people, and good people can emerge from bad people. A person's character is extremely important, in addition to the environment.
Take Wei Xiaobao, for example. He grew up in brothels. Although he was greedy and lustful, he was still fundamentally loyal and righteous...
Shaking his head, Chen Yan stopped thinking about these messy reasons.
He continued, "Yang Kang defeated the girl in the red wedding dress who was holding a martial arts contest to choose a husband. The girl's father, Mu Yi, went up to ask Yang Kang's name and wanted to marry the girl to Yang Kang according to the rules of the martial arts contest."
Yang Kang scoffed, saying he was only itching to play with the young girl and had no intention of getting married.
After saying this, he tucked the girl's embroidered shoes into his bosom and prepared to mount his horse and leave.
Mu Yi was furious, believing that Yang Kang had come to humiliate him and his daughter, and told Yang Kang that even if he wanted to leave, he should leave the girl's embroidered shoes behind.
Yang Kang refused and fought with Mu Yi. Mu Yi was no match for him and was knocked away.
At this moment, a kind and honest young man rushed out from the crowd of onlookers, wanting to stand up for Mu Yi and the girl. This man was none other than Yang Guo, your uncle, Guo Jing…”
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo's body trembled.
Unexpectedly, back then, his uncle Guo Jing was a good man who stood up for the weak, while his father Yang Kang was a lecherous man who harassed young girls in the street.
In an instant,
My childhood image of my father, whom I had never met, as a shining figure, was already crumbling.
Guo Fu, however, was quite pleased with herself, clapping and laughing, proud of having such a chivalrous and righteous father.
Huang Rong smiled and looked at Guo Jing, her eyes full of tenderness.
Guo Jing felt even greater respect for Chen Yan, never expecting that Chen Yan would also know so much about the details of what happened twenty years ago.
Chen Yan continued: "Even when Guo Jing jumped out to defend Yang Kang, he was no match for him and was about to suffer a loss."
At this moment, a Taoist priest walked out from the crowd. He was Wang Chuyi of the Quanzhen School. He was the junior brother of Qiu Chuji, Yang Kang's master, and also Yang Kang's uncle.
Yang Kang had always been somewhat afraid of his master, Qiu Chuji.
He feared that Wang Chuyi would report his actions to Qiu Chuji and that he would be punished by his master.
Left with no other choice, he had to agree and, after informing his parents, marry the girl in the red wedding dress...
but.
He only verbally agreed, but as soon as he returned to the palace, he sent men to arrest Mu Yi and his daughter and secretly imprison them, hoping to resolve the matter without anyone noticing..."
Hearing Chen Yan say this...
Another burst of curses erupted from the crowd.
He criticized Yang Kang for being two-faced, saying he was a truly despicable person.
