Ch. 565Where Everyone Went
Lin Pingzhi left alone to return home while Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, and Master Yideng arranged to spread news across the nations. Guo Jing took the injured Zhou Botong and Ying Gu toward Quanzhen, and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan challenged his belief that the Imperial Seal should have gone to Great Song.
- Lin Pingzhi refused Hong Qigong and the others’ offer of help, rode away, and asked them to spread news through all the nations within three months.
- Hong Qigong returned to organize the Beggar’s Sect, Huang Yaoshi offered his disciples’ help and took Huang Rong to Lu Family Manor, and Master Yideng planned to inform Dali’s emperor.
- Hong Qigong urged Guo Jing to settle matters involving Huang Rong and Princess Huazheng; Guo Jing left for Quanzhen with Zhou Botong and Ying Gu.
- Huang Rong admitted she could not accept Guo Jing’s situation, and Huang Yaoshi comforted her and told her to prepare for the contest for the Imperial Seal.
- The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan met Guo Jing on the road, and Zhu Cong argued that giving the Imperial Seal to Great Song would invite attacks and risk the dynasty’s survival.
