The Story of Yang Guo and Li Mochou
"No, no, absolutely not, Uncle Xiao! Yanran is my disciple, and I could never expel her from the sect! Also, Xiao Zhan will always be my junior brother, and that will never change!"
Yun Yun firmly rejected Xiao Lin's suggestion.
If she really expelled Nalan Yanran from the sect for her own selfish desires, how could she possibly have the face to stay by Xiao Yan's side?
Even she herself would despise that version of herself!
"Since you're unwilling to do this, then you don't need to care about worldly opinions. What taboos or not are just minor issues related to your status. It's not like you and Xiao Yan are actually related by blood."
Xiao Lin clearly didn't care about this kind of thing.
As he said, as long as it's not a matter of bloodline, everything else is no longer a problem!
This is at most a hurdle in Yun Yun's heart; it's something she can't get over herself!
Then, Yun Yun fell silent for quite some time.
Xiao Lin, Xiao Yan's grandfather, did not oppose this matter, which was indeed a good thing for Yun Yun.
However, on the one hand, she was indeed having some trouble getting over her own conscience, and on the other hand, she wasn't sure how Xiao Yan viewed the matter.
If it's just her opinion, then everything is in vain.
"Uncle Xiao, I'm just worried about Xiao Yan's feelings towards me..."
No longer as shy as before, Yun Yun now voiced her inner concerns.
"Oh, so that's what you're worried about, Yun'er! Then let me ask you, when you suddenly kissed Xiao Yan before you left the Magical Beast Mountain Range, did he resist?"
Yun Yun's mood had gradually calmed down, but who would have thought that Xiao Lin, that old rascal, would bring up the very thing that had embarrassed her so much that she wanted to bury her head in the sand!
In a flash, Yun Yun's cheeks turned so red they looked like they could bleed.
She never expected that Xiao Lin would suddenly bring this up!
"Uncle Xiao!"
After calling out in a neither too loud nor too soft voice, Yun Yun almost buried her head in her chest.
As for Xiao Lin, that shameless old man was still looking at Yun Yun with a half-smile.
At this moment, Yun Yun was secretly regretting her boldness back then.
How could she have done something so shameful back then?
Even now, when she thinks back on it, Yun Yun feels that she was far too daring back then!
More importantly, her teacher and Uncle Xiao also saw this!
This made Yun Yun feel even more ashamed.
"Haha, Yun'er, you don't have the courage you used to have! Think back to how you were back then, and once you find that state of mind, you won't be so hesitant anymore."
Xiao Lin smiled as he offered a reminder.
At this moment, Yun Yun, whose face had already turned red with embarrassment, suddenly paused for a moment.
Yes, back then, she knew it was taboo, but she still did some things.
So why have you become so hesitant and fearful now, as if afraid of everything?
Yun Yun couldn't help but ask herself this question.
If I had held onto that same mindset back then, would I still be the same now?
She felt the answer to that question should be no!
Just as Yun Yun was trying to regain the courage she had lost in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Lin spoke up once again.
"Alright, Yun'er, I'll tell you a story that happened a long time ago on the Dou Qi Continent! After you hear this story, I believe you'll know what to do next!"
Xiao Lin looked unusually serious when he said this.
At the same time, his mind began to work at lightning speed!
Hmm, Xiao Lin was recalling the details of the story, and incidentally trying to make a "twice as good" adaptation.
That's right. The story Xiao Lin was going to tell Yun Yun wasn't the one that took place on the Dou Qi Continent a long time ago, as he claimed, but rather a story from a novel or TV series in his previous life's world...
"A story from long ago in the Dou Qi Continent? Is that related to my story?"
Yun Yun blinked, looking somewhat dazed.
Uncle Xiao's sudden change of topic really caught her off guard.
"Hehe, you'll find out after I finish explaining."
Xiao Lin gave a mysterious smile.
"The story I'm about to tell is called the Return of the Condor Heroes! Long, long ago, on the continent of the Dou Qi Continent, there lived a little boy named Yang Guo. Because his father died for treason, he was ostracized by the other children in the village from a young age..."
Later, by chance, Yang Guo joined a sect called the Ancient Tomb Sect. His teacher was Xiaolongnü, and his senior sister was Li Mochou, who was known to the world as the Scarlet Serpent Fairy...
Yang Guo stepped out of the Ancient Tomb Sect and began his adventures on the Dou Qi Continent...
Later, Yang Guo encountered his senior martial aunt, Li Mochou...
As Yang Guo and his senior martial aunt Li Mochou continued to overcome the dangers ahead, their bond grew ever stronger...
In the end, Yang Guo became a legendary Dou Emperor, and together with his senior martial aunt Li Mochou, they retired to the Ancient Tomb Sect and lived a happy and fulfilling life!
As Xiao Lin narrated, he vividly described his adaptation of the Dou Qi Continent version of The Return of the Return of the Condor Heroes.
Looking at Yun Yun now, one can see that her beautiful eyes are sparkling!
Moreover, even after Xiao Lin finished telling the story, Yun Yun still had a look of lingering enjoyment on her face.
Clearly, Yun Yun deeply resonated with Xiao Lin's adaptation of The Return of the Return of the Condor Heroes from the Dou Qi Continent.
She identified with Li Mochou and with Xiao Yan as Yang Guo!
As for Xiaolongnü?
She's just a background character, not worth mentioning!
To be fair, Xiao Lin's adaptation did indeed align the identities of Xiao Yan and Yun Yun.
Or rather, Xiao Lin himself was adapted from this idea!
"Uncle Xiao, did something like this really happen on the Dou Qi Continent? There was a Dou Emperor named Yang Guo who eventually ended up with his senior sister, Li Mochou?"
After a while, Yun Yun slowly emerged from her immersion in the story and looked at Xiao Lin expectantly, asking a question.
"Of course there are! However, Yun'er, as you know, the last Dou Emperor of the Dou Qi Continent - Tou She Ancient God - was a figure from ten thousand years ago, so the matter of Dou Emperor Yang Guo is too long ago to be verified!"
I only learned about the lives of the Dou Emperor Yang Guo and his senior sister Li Mochou by chance while exploring a Secret Realm in Central Plains.
Xiao Lin, without batting an eye, began spouting nonsense.
I wonder if Mr. Jin Yong, upon learning of Xiao Lin's adaptation of his work, will appear in his dreams that night and give him a good beating?
However, I must say, this story had an outstanding effect on Yun Yun!
After all, in Yun Yun's opinion, if Yang Guo and Li Mochou could be together, why couldn't she and Xiao Yan?
