The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

“Hmm.” Yaoyue remained silent, neither speaking nor remaining silent.

“So… I thought of my sister and gave her the pseudonym ‘Nongyue’.” Lianxing lowered her head.

"And then, you only met once?" Yaoyue asked coldly.

"I...we encountered the leader of the Four Spirits, fought together, and then..." Lianxing simply recounted what happened at the bottom of the valley.

Although Lianxing concealed much in her words, she stubbornly emphasized that she was seriously injured while saving Chu Luren, and that Chu Luren risked his life to rescue her.

Yaoyue remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was filled with suspicion and unease...

Back then, the fact that this young girl dared to like the same man as her truly infuriated Yaoyue.

However, when she learned of this, that scoundrel had already eloped with Hua Yuenü and was on his deathbed. In fact, it was Hua Yuenü who saw through Lianxing's improper thoughts and tried to get Lianxing to save that scoundrel's life. Therefore, Yaoyue was only angry and did not really have any conflict with her sister because of this.

However, her attitude towards Lianxing became much harsher afterward. For a period of time, Yaoyue wouldn't even let Lianxing eat what she wanted in Yihua Palace. She insisted on putting what Lianxing liked in front of her. If Lianxing dared to pick up her chopsticks, Yaoyue would glare at her!

However, Yaoyue never expected this...

How could Lianxing's aesthetic sense have collapsed under her own harsh treatment?

Even Yaoyue felt a pang of guilt and her gaze softened slightly.

"You like him?" Yaoyue asked bluntly.

With her head down, Lianxing didn't notice Yaoyue's gaze, and because of Yaoyue's always cold voice, she mistakenly thought that Yaoyue was questioning her.

In her haste and frustration, Lianxing resolutely declared, "That's right! I like him!" As she spoke, she raised her head and looked directly at her sister.

however……

What I saw was a look of helplessness and apology in my sister's eyes.

Although it was only "a trace," Lianxing considered it to be "inconceivable."

"Sigh, then... go ahead." Yaoyue didn't want to say anything more. She even turned her back to Chu Luren, preparing to wait for Xiaoyuer and Chu Luren to separate before guiding him to the duel.

Lianxing:? ? ?

Thinking of Chu Luren, Yaoyue tried to think of something positive...

Thinking of what Chu Luren had said, "Jiang Feng actually thinks that Yaoyue, who isn't even human, would like his face? How narcissistic is he?" Yaoyue couldn't help but nod, feeling that this person wasn't entirely without merit. If Lianxing insisted on... then let her be!

“Sister, you…” Lianxing even doubted that she had heard correctly.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever I dared to compete with Yaoyue for anything, I would always pay a terrible price. If I didn't compete... perhaps Yaoyue would be in a good mood and share some with me—like the "Mingyu Gong".

I've never had to give anything to myself before!

Now my sister actually wants to help her and Chu Lang get together?

If it weren't for the fact that her demeanor was exactly the same, Lianxing would have even suspected that this older sister was an imposter.

Of course, in an instant, Lianxing also wondered if... she had misunderstood from the very beginning? Did her sister not like Chu Lang at all?

Thinking about it this way, isn't it stranger that "the older sister likes Chu Lang"?

Lianxing breathed a sigh of relief, but also realized something – when she planted the seed, there was an element of resentment towards her sister, but once the seed sprouted, the feelings wouldn't disappear just because the misunderstanding was cleared up.

"So, you were a sister..."

"But don't mention me to him again!" Yaoyue thought that Chu Luren actually knew Jiang Feng's last words, and she still had doubts in her heart... that Lianxing had known Chu Luren for a long time.

Let's just not bother with them for now!

Lianxing:......

Upon hearing this, Lianxing was first taken aback, then remained stunned for a long time, her eyes even reddening.

After I get together with Chu Lang, please don't mention her again?

Is this... to make Chu Lang forget her?

My sister really likes Chu Lang!

Lianxing felt ashamed of her previous thoughts and looked at Yaoyue with a face full of emotion and conflict.

Even with her back turned, Yaoyue's spiritual senses could detect that Lianxing's emotions were off, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why aren't you going yet?"

"Sister... if you... don't go, I won't go either!"

Inviting the Moon: ? ? ?

Chapter 523 Stop Fighting!

Yaoyue was completely baffled. What was wrong with her foolish younger sister today?

What? What am I supposed to do there?

"Sister, I actually... don't blame you that much. You don't need to make yourself suffer like this." Seeing her sister's sincerity, Lianxing spoke frankly as well.

It's not "that" my fault? Actually, it's still my fault, right?

Yaoyue wanted to lash out, but Lianxing stepped forward and, unusually, grabbed her hand, which made Yaoyue feel somewhat dazed.

"Sister, let's go see him together!" Lianxing looked at Yaoyue with great sincerity.

Inviting the Moon: ? ? ?

Although her foolish younger sister acted very suspiciously today, Yaoyue was instead flustered by her inexplicable "concern".

"Hmph, it's too early for me to give you my blessings... He has quite a few lowly maids around him." Yaoyue thought that Lianxing wanted her to go for the sake of ceremony.

Before Lianxing could respond, Yaoyue started moving on her own, and Lianxing quickly followed.

……

Just as Jiang Yulang was hesitating about whether to take the initiative to cry at the grave, he and Xiaoyuer both felt a pain in the back of their necks and fainted.

"Who!" Murong Jiu immediately became alert.

Chu Luren immediately put down the stone tablet, stood up, and guarded the direction behind Xiaoyuer and Jiang Yulang. At the same time, he observed Xiaoyuer for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he had only been stunned by the energy.

Knowing that Xiaoyuer was not dead was secondary; the main point was that it led them to conclude that the newcomer did not seem to have much hostility.

Even so, Chu Luren and Murong Jiu were still very nervous—they had actually taken down Xiaoyuer and the others right in front of them, and they hadn't even reacted?

The newcomer's martial arts skills are likely far superior to the two of them...

Yaoyue and Lianxing didn't keep them in suspense any longer, and the two of them walked out of the shadows of the trees together—Lianxing wasn't wearing a mask, and looked just like the Chu Lu people knew, while Yaoyue... was wearing a bronze mask, and also looked just like the Chu Lu people knew.

However, when Chu Luren saw Lianxing, he was first surprised and doubtful, and then pleasantly surprised!

When Lianxing saw Chu Luren's reaction, her face turned red, and she forced herself to look angry.

Although she is not young, Lianxing has almost no experience in the martial arts world. She has basically been in the sterile environment of Yihua Palace. Moreover, Lianxing is not like Yaoyue. The reason why she also appears aloof is partly to imitate her sister and partly due to the effect of the Mingyu Gong.

In addition, even as the "Second Palace Master," Lianxing was always strictly restrained and even harshly oppressed by her older sister, which made Lianxing actually... very girlish in terms of emotions!

She can usually put on an act; at least in the eyes of most people in the martial arts world, Lianxing is just a slightly weaker version of Yaoyue. However, once she "breaks her guard," she becomes completely "girlish."

"You...are you alright?" Chu Luren looked at Nongyue with surprise.

"Why should something happen to me? Why is my name engraved on the tombstone? And even after someone else's name..." Lianxing asked, pouting.

She was indeed very moved before, but now that they are facing each other, Lianxing is going to give Chu Luren a good scolding for his behavior.

"So you're not? Huh... then Mu... why are you still here?" Chu Luren was a little confused.

In front of Murong Jiu, Chu Luren did not reveal her father's identity.

But... if Nongyue isn't Xiao Mimi, why is she with Murong Bo? And where did the "Shifting Stars" come from? Could Nongyue be Murong Bo's newly accepted disciple?

That doesn't make sense, does it?

Murong Bo was single-mindedly focused on restoring the Murong clan's kingdom, so why would he be grooming another heir? And a woman at that?

Chu Luren was vaguely starting to think of something, but in his haste, he was still separated from it by a layer that he hadn't fully grasped!

Upon hearing this, Lianxing frowned and said, "So what if my sister is here? Are you afraid to admit your mistake?"

Lianxing thought that Chu Luren was worried that if she and her sister appeared together, things would get out of hand, which made her really angry.

however……

Chu Luren, Murong Jiu, Yaoyue: ? ? ?

Chu Luren looked at Lianxing with a puzzled expression—what did I do? By the way… is this a woman?

Murong Jiu looked at Chu Luren with a face full of doubt—what have you done? By the way, "he" is actually a woman?

Yaoyue looked at Lianxing with a questioning expression—What are you talking about "doing"? Did I do anything to you?

Lianxing was initially angry at their lack of ambition, but seeing the reactions of the three people around her, her emotions gradually subsided, replaced by a feeling of strangeness...

Chu Luren's little brain was the first to recover from the confusion and began to work rapidly. He first looked at "Murong Bo" and then at Murong Jiu.

Could it be that Murong Bo's generation was already female?

The late Madam Murong never imagined that the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy would actually be someone else's.

No, no, something seems wrong. We should push it further back—at this moment, Chu Luren finally removed the identity of "Murong Bo" from his expectations and focused on something further back.

Now that I think back to the first time I saw the "masked man," he... no, she was instructing Xiao Jiujiu, and with the principle of "an eye for an eye," I was able to conclude that she was Murong Bo!

It was also in Emei at the time, but if we look at it from a different perspective...

It's not "the stars shift and the constellations change"!

Chu Luren carefully reviewed the matter in his mind and immediately thought of another possibility—at that time, Hua Wuque and Xiaoyuer were both in Emei, which means that there was another peerless master who was also in Emei and could also "use their own methods against them"!

After finally having this idea, all the previous doubts were resolved. However... Chu Luren thought about what he had done and it seemed that the nature of his actions had completely changed.

"You are... sisters?" Chu Luren suddenly felt that she had gotten herself into a lot of trouble. If she didn't handle it well, she would have to go to Wudang and ask Master Zhang if he needed any more disciples.

Yaoyue sneered, knowing that Chu Luren should have completely recognized her identity, so she said directly, "Boy, it seems you already know... You actually did that kind of thing to my sister, so from now on you don't want to see any other women! Otherwise, no matter what kind of princess or heroine you are, I will kill one of these lowly servants if you see one, and I will kill two if you see two!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Jiu was instantly enraged – Who do you think you are?

However, just as she was about to speak, Xiao Jiujiu quickly switched to her own style, giving Murong Jiu no room to resist.

"Master!" Little Jiu Jiu stepped forward, trying to act cute.

"Hmph." Yaoyue also noticed this, but only glanced at Xiao Jiujiu—she was just a junior she liked, she didn't acknowledge her as her master or disciple, and besides, if she dared to seduce the man her sister had her eye on... she would kill her too!

However, Lianxing was clearly still not fully aware of the situation. Seeing Yaoyue's reaction, she immediately said, "Sister! Don't do this!"
