    Default Guo Xiang, the ultimate Inaudible voice?

    1. ROCH chapter 38: 她见那悬崖生得凶险,自己功夫低浅,不敢飞身过去,叫道:“大哥哥,我来啦!”但杨过凝思悲苦 ,竟是没有听见

    Upon witnessing YG about to throw himself off the cliff, GX screamed: "Brother, I am here!" But YG was sad and didn't hear her.

    2. ROCH chapter 39: 郭襄失声叫道:“大哥哥,这位就是小龙女吗么?”杨过身旁的女子便是小龙女,只是隔得远了,郭襄这话杨过却没听见

    When YG came to her rescue, GX shouted: "Big Brother, is the lady next to you Xiao Longnu?" Alas, the distance was too great and YG once again didn't hear her.

    3. ROCH chapter 40:
    郭襄再也忍耐不住,大声叫道:“喂,和尚,那两人便在此处!” ... 郭襄内功不深,叫声传送不远,那僧人去得快了,竟没有听见她的呼叫

    GX shouted out the hiding place of Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi to Jueyuan, but because Jueyuan was running super fast and she didn't have enough internal energy to transmit far, Jueyuan didn't hear her.

    -----------------

    It's hard not to notice. I guess she is destined to be inaudible, and not just to YG.

    忽见柳荫下两个小孩子在哀哀痛哭,瞧模样正是武敦儒、武修文兄弟。郭芙大声叫道:「喂,你们在干甚麽?」武 修文回头见是郭芙,哭道:「我们在哭,你不见麽?」

    My theory is that when YG is in the proximity of XLN, or even in the midst of thinking about her, all other female voices become inaudible to him.

    As for the third example: how come if GX's nei gong is so weak that Jueyuan can't hear her in normal circumstances, later her cries could be heard all over the noisy battlefield when GLFW put her on that burning tower?

    He could hear everyone except little GX

    Don't think this happened in the novel.

    You're correct. The adaptations must have corrupted my memory of the novel.

    As for why YG could hear everyone else except GX --- perhaps he was subliminally blocking her voice? As to why --- I'm not going to speculate on that.

    You always notice this most unusual thing, PJ.

    Funny observation.
