Chapter 59 Wudang (1)
The rumor that Gu Yangji had shared a seat with several commoners gradually began to spread as a virtuous tale.
Though Tie Fengcai, upon hearing the rumor, grumbled that it was nonsense, his words carried little weight.
In fact, the Open Sect even contributed to weaving it into a virtuous tale.
After all, as Gu Yangji’s name grew heavier and more valuable, those who had acted alongside him naturally gained worth.
A direction beneficial both morally and practically.
Wasn’t that the most ideal choice in the martial world?
Moreover, thanks to this, the numerous small and medium-sized sects that had suffered defeat in the Nine Dragons War breathed a sigh of relief.
“What a relief.”
“At least we won’t have to be embarrassed elsewhere.”
Gu Yangji had risen not merely as a late bloomer, but as a rising star whose fame was spreading beyond Shaanxi to the North of the River.
Perhaps one could even spin tales of having crossed swords with a future hero of the martial world.

They were Ming Yunzi of the Gongtong Sect, who had been defeated by him, and Wei Jinchuan of Tianwufeng. Those two.

Gu Yangji’s frown deepened.
