Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Lu Xiaofeng's disguise skills are very poor.

It's not that his skills are bad, but rather that Lu Xiaofeng's personality traits are too obvious, more dazzling than a searchlight.

Even if he shaves off his signature mustache, he can still be recognized at a glance, and there's no way to escape him.

The one who recognized Lu Xiaofeng was an absolute beauty.

The beauty was so breathtaking that even the seasoned Lu Xiaofeng felt a sense of suffocation and subconsciously exclaimed in amazement.

Then, Lu Xiaofeng's scheme was exposed.

Then, Lu Xiaofeng was besieged.

Then, with the help of three masters, Lu Xiaofeng escaped and got into a carriage.

There was a jar of wine on the carriage.

There was a note under the wine jar.

—Drink this jar of wine, get in the car and take a long nap!

On the carriage seat lay a set of clothes, a very gorgeous purple robe, with a piece of white silk sewn onto the arm, bearing the bright red character "blood".

This is the logo of the Blood Robe Hall.

The Blood Robe Hall is one of the most mysterious and ruthless forces in the martial arts world. It is a tightly organized group with many experts. Its symbol is a seven-colored brocade robe with the character "blood" written on it.

Wearing this garment signifies that the wearer is willing to work for the Blood Robe Hall, and in return, the Blood Robe Hall will provide them with intelligence, secret techniques, and protection.

In the seven-color spectrum, purple is often the most precious color. In other words, the purple-clad blood-red child has a much higher status than other blood-clad children.

While he might not be considered a deputy hall master, his position was similar to that of top-tier second-in-commands like Jing Wuming, Ling Zhantian, Yang Wuxie, and Liu Suifeng, wielding considerable power and influence.

The Blood Robe Hall first offered protection, rescuing Lu Xiaofeng from the siege, and then recruited him as their second-in-command, showing their utmost sincerity.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, took off the Wudang disciple's standard Taoist robe, and put on a purple brocade robe.

That's right, Lu Xiaofeng's disguised identity is Zhuo Yihang, a disciple of Wudang. The two have very similar facial features, except that Zhuo Yihang has the same "ramen noodle hair" as Li Xunhuan.

Lu Xiaofeng went to Shigejie Village to find Hu Delu, the best perm master in the world, and got a trendy spherical ramen noodle perm. Unfortunately, it was all for naught.

Keep an eye on the mastermind behind Lu Xiaofeng, and send a stunningly beautiful woman to watch over him at the city gate. This will easily lure Lu Xiaofeng into lust, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, picked up the wine jar, and broke the clay seal. Instantly, the aroma of the wine filled the air.

Bamboo Leaf Green tea aged for thirty years.

Lu Xiaofeng picked up the wine jar, drank it all in one gulp, and immediately felt dizzy, his vision went black, and he fainted.

When he woke up, he was taken to a dark underground palace, which was eerie and terrifying. The walls were inlaid with three-tiered bronze skull lamps with eight bowls.

A blue-green flame burned in the lamp bowl, emitting an eerie light. Silk ribbons hung from the rafters, and behind the ribbons sat a figure that appeared to be human.

"Lu Xiaofeng, you've arrived!"

A faint voice suddenly arose, as if it were emerging from a crack in the ground, or as if it came from the mouths of millions of people, as if it came from hell.

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his head and smiled wryly: "The Blood Robe Hall has been so kind to me, I dare not refuse! Your tricks are really boring, even more boring than Li Zhaoting's!"

"Did Li Zhaoting also invite you in this way?"

"I'm talking about your voice. A few bronze pipes and a bronze horn can transform a sound into this. This kind of thing existed in the Tang Dynasty."

You may not know this, but Li Zhaoting was able to replicate the 'Hell Horn' based on historical records when he was only ten years old. You can't really scare me with this kind of method.

Are you from the Tang Dynasty?
This really surprised me!
Or perhaps they are descendants of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The crime I bear is that a descendant of the Southern Tang Dynasty wanted to become emperor and hired me to assassinate the emperor. Li Zhaoting is indeed highly suspected.

Are you Li Zhaoting? Are you playing hard to get, using this self-inflicted injury to scheme against me? How heartbreaking!

Do you want to be the emperor, or... well... you definitely want to be the emperor, so just state your request!
I really don't want to investigate cases anymore!
"Kill me or torture me, you'd better draw a line!"

Lu Xiaofeng leaned against the pillar, shaking his head.

"I need two of your fingers!"

"Come and get it yourself!"

"You've misunderstood! I don't want to chop off your two fingers, but I want to borrow your fingers to do something for me, to help me find something!"

"what?"

"The Star Evil Sword Manual"

What is the "Star Evil Sword Manual"?

"Dugu Qiubai's wife was named Yuelu. In order to correspond with his wife's name, Dugu Qiubai's name when he first started out was 'Star Evil Swordsman'."

The Star Evil Sword Manual is a summary of Dugu Qiubai's lifelong sword experience. It is a sword technique that surpasses the Dugu Nine Swords and records the profound Dao of Heaven and Man in swordsmanship.

In addition, the sword manual also records the mysteries of the universe. Once mastered, it can shatter the void. The original name of the sword manual was "Cosmic Sword Technique".

The "Star Evil Sword Manual" is hidden deep within the imperial palace. I need your help to steal it. In return, I will clear your name and give you a beautiful woman.

The leader of the Blood Robe Hall threw out an ancient book.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't even glance at it, and sneered: "Could it be some old knife-wielding trick? He's devising a bunch of fancy plans just to burn away his dark history."

The leader of the Blood Robe Hall said, "Of course not, I care about nothing but the Supreme Heavenly Dao!"

"Prove it to me!"

"this is very simple!"

Before he could finish speaking, a pure and exquisite golden sword beam pierced towards Lu Xiaofeng's chest. Lu Xiaofeng dodged it, and then a silver sword beam pierced towards his throat.

Lu Xiaofeng formed a sword shape with his left hand and raised it to unleash a Tathagata Divine Light. The sword lights clashed and canceled each other out.

Lu Xiaofeng took three or four steps back, feeling a slight stinging sensation in his fingertips, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The Blood Robe Hall Master's skill was not particularly profound, and his moves were not particularly exquisite, but his true qi was pure and contained a strange energy, and his every move was just right.

Indeed, if you had to describe the Blood Robe Hall Master's martial arts skills in one word, it would be—just right!
Not a fraction faster, not a fraction slower.

Not a penny more, not a penny less.

His control over true qi is exquisite, even surpassing Lu Xiaofeng's. He can walk on water, traverse the void, and transcend the mortal realm without needing a large amount of true qi.

True essence in the colors of gold and silver?
Transcendent control of true qi?
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened as he thought of a unique martial arts technique recorded only in the history of the martial arts world. However, this technique required a virgin to practice and could not be broken.

According to the clues Lu Xiaofeng found, the leader of the Blood Robe Hall is a member of the royal family and wants to become emperor.

How can a virgin become an emperor?
Because the Zhao Song imperial family was not large, all male members got married as soon as they reached marriageable age. If they could not have children within two years, they would immediately be given a concubine.

Other emperors who were close to women would be impeached by censors for being bewitched by concubines, leading to the emperor's incompetence and the country's downfall. These classic historical examples can be repeated ten times over.

Emperor Zhao Zhen's fondness for women was met with celebration from his ministers. Important officials such as Zhuge Zhengwo and the Eighth Prince repeatedly selected concubines for Zhao Zhen and forced him to favor his concubines.

There are princesses in the royal family who are not married, but there are absolutely no princes or heirs who are not married. Lu Xiaofeng frowned, thinking to himself that he was about to be tricked.

The leader of the Blood Robe Hall sneered: "Lu Xiaofeng! Let me make this clear from the start, the wine you just drank has been poisoned by me, a poison that has been stored in a cellar for thirty years!"
"A poison stored for thirty years can only be neutralized by an antidote stored for thirty years. Even if you rush to Medicine King Valley for treatment immediately, they will be helpless!"

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Since my life is in your hands, can I ask for some benefits?"
If you turn your back on me afterward, like a rabbit being killed and then discarded, I'll have nowhere to turn for help. I can only take advantage of the fact that I still have value to you and ask you for more benefits.

Don't worry, I don't want much in return.

I only need one person.

The beautiful woman who lured me to reveal myself.

Her name seems to be—Shaman!
Li Zhaoting once gave an exclusive interview to Tianjige and commented on me and Chu Liuxiang. He said that Chu Liuxiang and I had a common characteristic when investigating cases: we couldn't do without beautiful women.

Without a beauty by my side, my mind is getting slower and slower. If I can't find Lingxi with my Lingxi Finger, it will delay your important matters. Even if you kill me, it won't help!
So, send me the beauty!

In addition, keeping a beautiful woman requires a lot of money!

Give me money to live a life of debauchery!

not much!

Fifty thousand taels will be enough!

Lu Xiaofeng held out a hand.

The leader of the Blood-Clad Hall nodded: "Alright!"

Lu Xiaofeng said with a wry smile, "I finally managed to forge an identity, but you exposed it so easily. Now I'm a wanted criminal. You need to give me a new identity!"

The leader of the Blood-Clad Hall asked, "Aren't you Duan Fei, the disciple of the Honest Monk? Lu Xiaofeng, you can switch between being a monk and a Taoist priest. You're really something!"

"It seems that the Blood Robe Hall's intelligence isn't as good as I thought. Go and send someone to investigate and see if the Honest Monk has any disciples—Duan Fei!"
Am I the kind of person who can become a monk?
Which temple will ordain me?
Did an elephant step on your head?

Lu Xiaofeng becoming a monk? How could you even think of that!

Furthermore, the honest monk was greedy, lustful, drank alcohol, ate meat, and even killed people. He basically violated all the Buddhist precepts, but he never lied.

An honest monk is the most honest of all monks.

He said he never lies, he would never tell a single lie, you must be out of your mind!

Lu Xiaofeng looked around and found a jar of wine in the corner. He opened the mud seal and found that it was exactly the same as the wine in the carriage. He drank it all in one gulp.

The leader of the Blood Robe Hall was taken aback upon hearing this.

Could it be that Duan Fei is not Lu Xiaofeng's alter ego?

Everyone knows that honest monks are not always honest! Is this bald monk honest or not?

……

The honest monk, who was being nagged by the leader of the Blood Robe Hall, was imitating a giant tortoise on the street, crawling forward little by little, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

"Clap!"

A donkey's hoof blocked the honest monk's way.

Princess Tianxiang, holding a sugarcane, pointed at the honest monk's bald head and asked, "Honest monk, are you a monk or a tortoise? Are you a tortoise or a bald donkey?"

The honest monk replied humbly, "A monk is a monk, not a bald donkey or a tortoise! ​​Please make way, benefactor, this humble monk needs to crawl forward!"

Tianxiang asked, "If you're not a tortoise, why are you trying to crawl like one? If you're not a donkey, why are you getting close to my spotted donkey? What have you done?"

The honest monk looked embarrassed, but he never lied, so he could only honestly explain, "This humble monk went to a brothel last night to find Ouyang..."

Who is Ouyang?

"It's...it's Ouyang Qing!"

Who is Ouyang Qing?

"One...one of the top courtesans!"

"You lecherous monk, how dare you go to brothels, drink and eat meat, and even seek out the most beautiful courtesan! How many precepts have you broken? I, on behalf of Buddha, will punish you!"

Tianxiang swung the sugarcane, ready to strike.

The honest monk lay on the ground, letting Princess Tianxiang beat him without any thought of resistance, not even using his inner energy to fight back. Just then, a simple and honest young man came over, opened his arms, and blocked Tianxiang.

"No...don't bully people..."

"Hey! I can hit whoever I want! How dare you stop me! Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know who you are, but you can't just bully people. Bullying people is wrong!"

"What's your name?"

"My name is Duan Fei!"

"Are you the disciple of the honest monk?"

"What does it have to do with you!"

"Your master went to a brothel last night to drink and eat meat, and even ordered the top courtesan. He violated almost every Buddhist precept. Shouldn't he be punished?"

Tianxiang proudly curled her nose.

The honest monk hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes! This humble monk truly deserves punishment. I'll crawl right now! If Buddha has punished this humble monk to crawl forty li, this humble monk will crawl forty li right now!"

Duan Fei angrily said, "Young lady! It's wrong to bully people; you can't just bully people like that!"

"I'm going to bully you today!"

Tianxiang let out a sharp cry and soared into the air. When Li Zhaoting left the capital, he created the "Water Emperor Devouring the Sun Technique" for Tianxiang based on the Water God's Wrath and the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

This method allows for incredibly fast cultivation, enabling the absorption and refinement of rare and precious materials and elixirs, while also using the purging power of the Water God's wrath to expel impurities from the body.

As the beloved daughter of the Eighth Prince, Tianxiang can freely access rare and precious herbs, and even sleeps with ginseng in her mouth. Her internal energy has increased seven or eight times compared to before.

A casual strike can unleash tremendous power.

Duan Fei raised his palm to block in front of his chest, and golden Buddhist light shot into the sky, revealing a golden Buddha behind him.

Tathagata's Palm - The First Appearance of Buddha's Light!

Caught off guard, Tianxiang was knocked back by a single palm strike.

The honest monk sighed, "This is troublesome! I only mentioned your name, not your background! Now that you've shown your martial arts skills, who can you fool now!"

Tianxiang shouted, "Buddha's Palm? Who is the Fire Cloud Evil God Ancient Sword Soul to you? Is he your father?"

Duan Fei said honestly, "No! He's my father-in-law! I'll take responsibility for all his sins!"

"Can you handle the responsibility?"

"A true man has nothing to fear!"

"Since you're so bold, do you dare to come with me to the Eighth Prince's residence? Let's see how daring you really are!"

"Why don't you dare?"

"Come with me! Lead the donkey!"

Tianxiang gestured for Duan Fei to come and lead the donkey.

Half an hour later, the news that Duan Fei, the honest monk's apprentice, was the son-in-law of the Fire Cloud Evil God Gu Jianhun and had inherited the Tathagata Palm spread to every corner of the capital.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaofeng was drinking and making merry with Shaman in the warm pavilion, and said smugly, "I can't be a monk at all. The leader of the Blood Robe Hall is out of his mind, actually suspecting that Lu Xiaofeng is the disciple of an honest monk!"

Upon receiving this news, the leader of the Blood-Clad Hall, who was observing from afar, clenched his fists in anger. He had almost been deceived by Lu Xiaofeng; this was a scheme to cover up the truth.

Everyone knows that Lu Xiaofeng's personality is not suited to be a monk. Therefore, the honest monk's inexplicably acquired disciple must be Lu Xiaofeng. This is a common subversion of the usual tropes in the martial arts world. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng used a subversion of the subversion of the tropes. The honest monk's disciple was a decoy to deceive everyone. He was just "Duan Fei".

Lu Xiaofeng disguised himself as Zhuo Yihang, a disciple of Wudang, and secretly investigated the assassination case in the palace. Fortunately, the leader of the Blood Robe Hall knew Lu Xiaofeng's preferences very well and successfully lured him out with a sand cane. He was almost fooled by this guy!

snort!
Lu Xiaofeng, no matter how clever you are, you can't escape my grasp. You can either be a frontline soldier or go to the underworld to enjoy your life!

……

The Eighth Prince's Mansion.

Tianxiang brought "Duan Fei" to the training room.

Everyone in the capital knows that martial arts is Tianxiang's greatest hobby. He's heard about the Tathagata Palm technique so many times that he's practically worn out from hearing about it, so he definitely wants to see it for himself.

However, to everyone's surprise, although the training room was filled with golden light and internal energy, the two were not actually fighting, but embracing each other.

Li Zhaoting waved his hand and removed his disguise.

That's right, Duan Fei is not Lu Xiaofeng, Zhuo Yihang is Lu Xiaofeng, and Duan Fei is Li Zhaoting. Li Zhaoting escaped from the prison and put on Duan Fei's disguise.

Tianxiang pouted and asked, "You heartless scoundrel! Isn't Gu Jianhun's daughter beautiful? When did you become Gu Jianhun's son-in-law? You're such a treacherous and unfaithful man!"

Li Zhaoting laughed and said, "That's called character design! Gu Jianhun doesn't have a daughter. I just made that up!"

"Really do not have?"

"I swear to the light, absolutely not!"

What's the story behind "plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum"?

"The maids were given to me by my senior master. She originally wanted to marry her disciple to me, but I refused. I couldn't refuse the four maids, otherwise, given my senior master's temper, he would have thrown them off the back of Misty Peak..."

"Hmph! Wu Xingyun is such a busybody!"

"That's called fairness and justice!"
Suzhen's dowry consisted of plum and bamboo.

Sheng Nan's dowry consisted of four princesses.

Your dowry is Xing'er.

Huai Xiu, Feng Huang, and Sheng Lan—none of them brought dowries. The plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums can make up for it; only when everyone is harmonious and happy can the household prosper.

Li Zhaoting made up a reason on the spot.

Tianxiang retorted angrily, "You heartless scoundrel! It wasn't enough that you were after me, you even went after my maid! You were already imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and now you're an escaped prisoner. Your crimes are compounded, you should at least be exiled to Lingnan."

Li Zhaoting sighed, "This is acting, and it's also a way to help me get rid of the calamities on my body. That's what my dad said! My dad has been having an episode lately, and he's been acting strangely."

Tianxiang leaned against Li Zhaoting's chest, looking at him tenderly: "Recently, the capital has been in turmoil, and countless people have been implicated."

I don't ask you to achieve great feats, I only ask that you emerge unscathed from this storm. At worst, our family will go to Lingjiu Palace in Tianshan and never come back!
Alternatively, we could go to the Western Regions.

Kucha, Sword Casting City, and Sifang City are all your love nests. You've mastered the art of having three burrows, so there's no need to keep your eyes on the capital.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Li Zhaoting joked, "Tianxiang, the country still belongs to the Zhao family, don't you care?"

Tianxiang retorted, "The country belongs to the Zhao family, but I belong to the Li family! I don't want to become a widow before even entering the Li family's gate. What will history say about me? The poisonous woman in the capital who killed the Jiazi Tai Sui? The black widow with the toughest fate in history? I still want a house full of children and grandchildren!"

Li Zhaoting comforted her, "Tianxiang! I guarantee that I will emerge unscathed from this storm. I have many secret techniques that I have not yet shown. I have been hiding my strength all along."

What other tricks are you hiding?

"A very, very powerful move."

"How strong?"

"Absolute Sword!"

"The swordsmanship of Abbess Miejue?"

"It is the ultimate sword corresponding to the Heavenly Sword."

"Aren't you afraid I'll leak it to you?"

"That's a good idea! I'll teach you a move of the ultimate sword technique later. You can show it off when you have the chance, and just say that it's the sword technique I taught you when I left the capital last year."

"Will there be any problems?"

"I believe in your acting skills!" (End of Chapter)
