The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Just then, Murong Fu's chopsticks suddenly trembled slightly, and if you looked closely, you could see that his facial expression was also twitching slightly.

The Chu Lu people closest to him had already noticed something was wrong. Then, amidst a wave of unease, they saw Murong Fu's expression flicker between "serious" and "cute".

Chu Luren's heart skipped a beat—no way? Is it that serious? Is it about to flare up again?

Fortunately, Murong Fu calmed down and gradually recovered. Of course, most importantly, she also made some compromises with her other consciousness.

Murong Fu picked up a piece of green vegetable in front of him and then stretched his chopsticks to his left.

Wang Yuyan was furious upon seeing this: Is this someone trying to put food on my plate? Do you still want to provoke me like this? Despicable!

Zhang Jing and Gu Renyu looked at Murong Fu with suspicion—"Are you really that considerate? Why are you suddenly trying to please the Wang family's sister? Wait... aren't you provoking Chu Taisui?"

Then... Murong Fu's chopsticks reached out to Chu Luren's bowl, and without getting up to greet Wang Yuyan, he simply placed the food in Chu Luren's bowl!

"Brother Chu, eat more!" Murong Fu said, trying to remain calm.

Chu Luren: ￣□￣｜｜

Wang Yuyan, Mu Wanqing, Zhang Jing, Gu Renyu... and the four great retainers, Abi, etc.: (ΩДΩ)

Little Fish: (*?▽?*)

Chapter 339 In the martial world, one is not free to choose one's own path.

Murong Fu's chopsticks, taken in full view of everyone, left everyone present utterly stunned—could this be the Murong family's hospitality?

But shouldn't hospitality extend to serving food to guests you've "met for the first time"?

Wang Yuyan was plunged into philosophical contemplation—Who am I? Where am I? What should I eat?

Wang Yuyan was prepared to refuse Murong Fu's "kindness" if he dared to serve her food, so as not to let his evil plan succeed. However... she just watched helplessly as he actually served food to Chu Luren.

What kind of tactic is this?

Only Chu Luren could vaguely guess why Murong Fu would do such a thing!

and so……

"Thank you, Brother Murong!" Chu Luren said, and immediately ate the vegetables that Murong Fu had put on his plate.

Hanhan Jiu's consciousness gradually drifted back to sleep—if Chu Luren "didn't appreciate the good intentions," Hanhan Jiu might be startled awake on the spot.

Murong Fu's face turned pale and then red. Feeling the gazes of others, he felt extremely wronged, but he still tried his best to remain calm.

Deng Baichuan and the other three exchanged glances. They did know Murong Fu's true gender—the Murong family's original plan was to secretly have someone marry into the family, so that when Murong Jiu gave birth to a boy, there would naturally be an heir.

As for the man who married into the family, whether to make use of him or to kill him on the spot depends on the circumstances!

However, before that, you must first "get married", otherwise where will the children come from?

Therefore, regarding the choice of Murong Fu's "wife", from the very beginning, the four great retainers all favored Wang Yuyan. Only the old lady, who was unaware of the truth, liked Zhang Jing, which was actually impossible!

Given Zhang Jing's fiery temper, how could she possibly keep Murong Fu's secret?

On the contrary, in their view, Wang Yuyan's previous personality made it seem very likely that she could be controlled by the young master...

However, they were all very disappointed when they saw Wang Yuyan this time. They even secretly discussed that if all else failed, they would try to find a way to give Abi a better background—Abi was one of their own, so there would be no problem!

But now, Murong Fu's act of serving food to Chu Luren really surprised them—could it be that the "young master" has already made a decision?

Chu Tai Sui...

If they were truly willing to cooperate with the Murong family, it wouldn't be impossible, but they wouldn't be a good match.

Ideally, it should be someone with some influence, yet still controllable.

Of course, if you're going to kill them after using them, then you don't need to think about all this.

But if the goal is to silence them, why challenge a master like Chu Luren?

Clearly, the "young master" intends to cooperate with him!

Consider what kind of power or network of connections the Chu Lu people possess.

The Ancient Tomb Sect, Peach Blossom Island, Dali, the Sun Moon Cult... even in the Song court? It's not that there aren't any, but... Deng Baichuan's old face scrunched up.

Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e also winked at the young master—Young master, don't get agitated, why don't you think about it some more?

Murong Fu didn't even glance at them, and went straight to the point asking, "Young Master Chu, are you going to Fuzhou afterward? Are you going to see Lin Pingzhi of the Huashan Sect?"

"That's right." Chu Luren nodded upon hearing this; there was nothing to keep secret.

"Lin Pingzhi is quite lucky. Although he is a disciple of someone like Yue Buqun, he still managed to meet Young Master Chu. It seems that the fate of the Fuwei Escort Agency is not yet over." Murong Fu nodded upon hearing this.

The others were even more confused. Logically speaking, even if Murong Fu had any prejudice against Yue Buqun, he shouldn't have spoken so frankly to Chu Luren, whom he had only known for a short time!

Wang Yuyan noticed with keen insight that, at some point, Chu Luren and Murong Fu had reversed their way of addressing each other. Chu Luren began to call Murong "Brother Murong," while Murong Fu addressed him as "Young Master Chu."

Seeing that Chu Luren only smiled and did not answer, Murong Fu said directly, "It just so happens that I also have something to do and need to go to Fuzhou. Young Master Chu, what do you think... would it be alright if we traveled together?"

Chu Luren frowned upon hearing this. If it were a matter of willingness or not, Chu Luren would naturally be unwilling. However, the key point was that Chu Luren also understood that Murong Fu probably didn't really want to travel with him. Rather, it was because the matter of Hanhan Jiu hadn't been resolved, and Chu Luren found it difficult to refuse.

"No need!" Wang Yuyan quickly said.

"Cousin, I'm asking Young Master Chu a question. Don't be so disrespectful!" Murong Fu rarely spoke harshly in front of everyone.

“You…” Wang Yuyan felt both wronged and angry.

Mu Wanqing, standing to the side, slammed her hand on the table and said, "You're the one with no manners! Yu Yan, Brother Chu, let's go!"

Originally, Mu Wanqing came to Murong Manor just to watch the excitement, but seeing how arrogant Murong Fu was, she immediately got angry, after all, she and Wang Yuyan were sisters.

"Young Master Chu, what do you think..." Murong Fu looked at Chu Luren with a leisurely air.

However, she noticed that Chu Luren was also frowning as he looked at her and said, "Since Brother Murong is observing mourning, he should stay at home and recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu was furious. She had originally thought that as long as she hinted at it, this guy would accept it with gratitude—after all, she had already seen it in the ice cellar… cough!

Do you think I really want to travel with you?

But when Murong Jiu got so angry, his eyes began to flicker between "anger" and "foolishness"...

"People..."

"The Ren family in Fuzhou has something to do and wants to see me!" Murong Fu abruptly changed the subject before revealing his true intentions.

The four retainers were also wondering, where was the Ren family of Fuzhou? Did the Murong clan have such a familiar family?

"Don't you know the way, you grown-up? Then let your little minions take you there!" Mu Wanqing wasn't going to tolerate any nonsense and immediately started arguing back.

“Little girl! Who are you talking about?” Bao Butong immediately stood up as well.

"Whoever's in a hurry, let's talk about them..." Little Fish whispered, fanning the flames.

"Wait a minute, what's all this arguing about?" Zhang Jing, despite her short temper, had no idea what was going on.

Gu Renyu, standing to the side, was so frightened that her eyes turned red. She seemed to want to mediate the fight but was also hesitant.

However, it was precisely because of this tense atmosphere that it seemed a bit too "frightening". Not only was Gu Renyu uncomfortable, but Hanhan Jiu's sense of security also collapsed instantly and he could no longer maintain his dormant state!

Upon sensing this, Murong Fu's expression began to flicker uncontrollably, and he immediately grabbed Chu Luren, saying, "Young Master Chu, let them make their noise, come with me!"

After saying that, he immediately grabbed Chu Luren and ran towards the back courtyard, completely ignoring the chaos at the banquet.

Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing: ? ? ?

What's the catch here?

Is there some kind of ambush behind this, or are they planning to kill Chu Luren outright? But it doesn't seem like it...?

The four retainers and Abi, seeing Murong Fu's impatient manner, were on the verge of their worldviews collapsing, but they still remembered to stop Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing from following him...

Chu Luren was also helpless; perhaps this is what it means to be caught up in the world of martial arts and not be able to control one's own destiny!

Chapter 340 The Great Yan Dynasty Died Early

Chu Luren originally felt somewhat guilty towards Murong Jiu because of the "Hanhan Jiu" incident.

However, this guilt doesn't mean Chu Luren will indulge her without limit. His previous argument with Wang Yuyan and the others had already displeased Chu Luren...

But seeing that Hanhan Jiu was about to "come out" again, and seeing the pleading look in Murong Jiu's eyes, Chu Luren's heart softened, and she went out first—after all, if Hanhan Jiu appeared in public, Chu Luren would also have a headache.

As soon as she entered the back courtyard, Murong Jiu slowed her pace and stopped after a few steps.

"Are you alright..."

Before Chu Luren could even ask the question, Murong Jiu had already turned around and, without a word, wrapped an octopus-like hug around Chu Luren, exclaiming with delight, "Big brother!"

Chu Luren: ...

After glancing around guiltily, Chu Luren breathed a slight sigh of relief. Luckily, no one was following them!

"Big brother, is she being disobedient? There were bad guys scaring me before!" The "she" that Hanhan Jiu was referring to was clearly Murong Jiu.

The so-called intelligence born from petrification, Hanhan Jiu is more like the "subject". She can wake up whenever she wants. Murong Jiu can't do anything about "her" and fortunately, she doesn't have any ill intentions.

"No, she just discussed it with me and wanted to go out with me." Chu Luren had just finished speaking when he noticed that Hanhan Jiu was looking at him with a pitiful expression.

"Big brother, do you want me to go back right away?" Hanhan Jiu asked with a sharp but aggrieved look.

"Of course not, it's just... she's a little embarrassed by what you're doing." Chu Luren replied helplessly. In some ways, Chu Luren felt that Hanhan Jiu was more difficult to deal with than Murong Jiu.

“Then big brother, let’s ignore her, I’ll go with you!” Hanhan Jiu immediately said.

"You come down first..." Chu Luren persuaded Hanhan Jiu to come down.

"Big brother, let's practice kung fu together!" said Hanhan Jiu, and was about to switch to kung fu practice mode.

"Wait! Remember, you can't practice your skills in front of outsiders!" Chu Luren quickly stopped her.

"Big brother isn't an outsider!"

"No, I am." Chu Luren wouldn't take advantage of such a situation.

However, when Hanhan Jiu heard this, he looked like he was about to cry again, and even started sobbing softly. Chu Luren was so frightened that he quickly turned around to look, worried that someone might come over.

He had no choice but to pull the sobbing Hanhan Jiu behind the artificial hill in the courtyard. Hanhan Jiu looked reluctant after being pulled by Chu Luren, but he still obediently followed.

Chu Luren coaxed her for a while before calming her down. He also said, "Unless you and 'her' decide to marry someone in the future, you can practice martial arts with him. Otherwise, you can only practice alone and cannot be discovered by other men!"

"What is a man?" Hanhan Jiu asked, tilting his head.

"It's just... the same as me, but different from you!" Chu Luren hurriedly explained.
