The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Chu Lu Ren could barely hear what the Six Immortals of Peach Valley were saying afterward; they were just shouting and galloping away in the opposite direction...

Chapter 750 Reminder

"Is that Palace Mistress Yaoyue here? She's Lianxing's older sister?" Mu Wanqing only realized this at this moment.

Previously, Chu Luren only said that his master, uncle, and senior brother had all moved away, but he had two reliable friends here.

"Palace Mistress Yaoyue... Yihua Palace and the Sun Moon Divine Sect have never had any dealings, but..." Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Luren with some suspicion.

Did they just casually carry Sister Yingying over like that?

Are you sure that Yaoyue won't have any opinion about Yingying because of your relationship with Lianxing?

And... what is your relationship with Yaoyue?

"Don't worry, besides Yaoyue, Dongfang... Sister is also here, but she's in seclusion right now." Chu Luren told Qu Feiyan about this to put her mind at ease.

Because Dongfang Bubai was in seclusion, Chu Luren did not reveal her presence to the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, lest they spread the word and cause further complications.

"And who is Sister Dongfang?" Mu Wanqing asked immediately.

"Sister?" They're calling her that so affectionately!

Qu Feiyan also frowned inwardly. This compound surname made her very uncomfortable. After all, starting from her grandfather Qu Yang, they had never been part of Dongfang Bubai's faction, and had even been involved in Ren Woxing's restoration.

There aren't many people with the surname Dongfang, could they be relatives? But... after thinking about it carefully, Qu Feiyan didn't expect Dongfang Bubai to have any relatives with powerful martial arts skills, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, Chu Luren said seriously at this moment: "It is Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. I... have become sworn siblings with her."

Qu Feiyan: !!!

Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan, and Azi: ? ? ?

Four Swordsmen: O(￣▽￣)D (As expected of the Lord)

"The leader of the Sun Moon Cult? Dongfang Bubai? He...she...is actually a woman?"

"She's been disguised as a man all along? But..."

"how is this possible?"

As expected, Qu Feiyan reacted the most. She didn't think that Dongfang Bubai could disguise herself as a man for so long!

"In short, she... was supposed to be a woman, and she is a woman now, and she's my sister." Chu Luren said seriously without explaining further.

Sure enough, for ordinary people who knew Dongfang Bubai before, this kind of thing was still very shocking and inexplicable.

Especially if Qu Feiyan were to meet Sister Dongfang, she would immediately realize that this is definitely not a woman disguised as a man, and in fact... without an introduction, it would be normal not to recognize her!

As for those outside of "ordinary people"?

Those whom Chu Luren knew, such as Zhang Zhenren and Yaoyue, were not surprised to learn that Dongfang Bubai had come first, and that Dongfang Jiejie had come later.

Since the Six Immortals of Peach Valley left, Chu Luren carried Ren Yingying on his back. Originally, the Four Sword Attendants wanted to carry Yingying up the mountain, but Chu Luren told her to just hold onto the sword box.

"Huh? Why did you bring so many unrelated people up the mountain? Palace Master Yaoyue doesn't like noise or outsiders!" Zhao Min was lying on a rock nearby eating melon seeds when she saw a large group of people coming up. She immediately acted like Yaoyue's lackey.

"Brother Chu, who is this sister?" Azi asked curiously.

"A prisoner of the Moon Invitation," Chu Luren said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Min glared at her with her pretty eyes: "So what if she's a prisoner? It's my honor to have Yaoyue... the Palace Master as a prisoner!" As she spoke, she glanced slightly at the wooden house where Yaoyue was.

Not to mention here, Chu Luren suspected that Yaoyue had heard the Six Immortals of Peach Valley shouting down the mountain, which is why she made sure they were far away before going up the mountain.

"A prisoner acting so arrogantly? This is our Xiaoyao Sect's territory!" Mu Wanqing naturally couldn't stand Zhao Min's temper.

Judging from her tone, one might mistake her for Wu Yazi's granddaughter.

Zhao Min was about to retort, but then she thought of something and smiled gently, saying, "Whatever you say, I won't argue with you or disturb the peace of Palace Mistress Yaoyue."

Chu Luren shook his head helplessly, and then went to see Yaoyue alone.

As soon as she entered, she received a full-force eye roll from Yaoyue: "Hmph, you brought back another bunch of little bitches."

Chu Luren was thoroughly shaken, but he felt much more at ease—Yaoyue's current state was somewhat similar to when she was on the ship after escaping from the island.

After the ship docked, Yaoyue's attitude towards him became more distant and domineering, not as easygoing as before. Although... she was different in front of Chu Luren and in private, Chu Luren could sense that on the ship, Yaoyue did not regard herself as the Palace Master Yaoyue, but after returning, she wanted Chu Luren to remember that she was the Palace Master Yaoyue!

After being separated for a while, seeing Chu Luren again for the first time brought back some of the feelings we had when we were on the ship.

Could it be...

Is this what they mean by "absence makes the heart grow fonder"?

"Are you thinking about something disgusting?" Yaoyue asked instinctively, frowning.

"No, no, this is just to congratulate you on making further progress!" Chu Luren immediately steered the conversation back on track.

Indeed, Chu Luren understood that Yao Yue's mindset was gradually changing.

On the Chamber of Commerce ship, when Yaoyue was on the verge of a mental breakdown and had regained her stability, she naturally felt different about herself, and they even... could talk about topics like "what she saw in Jiang Feng back then".

However, once her mindset stabilized, although she still viewed Chu Luren differently, her feelings towards him were completely different.

But now, it's a fundamental shift in mindset that's taking place...

"Well, in about six months, I should be able to come out of seclusion and kill all those little bitches," Yaoyue said, feigning indifference.

Chu Luren also knew that Yaoyue said this on purpose—otherwise, if she really wanted to "kill" someone, would she need to wait half a year?

Even if it were Sister Dongfang, if Yaoyue really wanted to "kill" her, even if it was a 50/50 match, she would fight to the death on the spot, instead of going into seclusion and waiting for half a year later!

At the same time, Chu Luren asked with delight, "Are you confident you can break through in six months?"

Yaoyue nodded, then looked deeply at Chu Luren and said, "So either you become stronger, or... it's best if you stop talking to anyone of the opposite sex other than me, my sister, and that slut from the East."

Chu Luren suddenly realized that she was three-tenths serious...

Remembering that Yaoyue had shown particular interest in the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill," Chu Luren had a bad feeling!

However, there's always a way out. Even the Palace Master of Yaoyue Palace left room for him to "become even stronger." Chu Luren felt that he would definitely be stronger in half a year—especially after acquiring the Marrow Cleansing Classic. Chu Luren was confident that his progress in the next six months would be greater than in the previous six months or even a year.

"About how strong?" Chu Luren was still a little nervous.

"Well, you can probably withstand about a dozen of my moves, to the point where I don't want to ruin my image as a grandmaster and would fight you to kill a few bitches," Yaoyue said matter-of-factly.

Without needing an explanation, Chu Luren knew that the "more than ten moves" referred to the more than ten moves Yaoyue made after her breakthrough.

Otherwise, it would take Yaoyue at least thirty moves to defeat Chu Luren in less than six months...

As she spoke, Yaoyue couldn't help but smile—even Chu Luren was stunned for a moment, firstly because he had never seen Yaoyue smile before, and secondly... it was very beautiful, with a sense of ice and snow melting away.

"Back then, everyone said that no one could stop Yu Lang Jiang Feng from smiling. I think that should be said of you, Yao Yue," Chu Luren said aptly.

Inviting the moon smiled even more brightly and dazzlingly, and uttered Tinglan's words: "Get lost..."

Chapter 751 It seems like something has been forgotten...

The next morning, Chu Luren didn't dare linger and left Leigu Mountain directly, appearing preoccupied and under considerable pressure on the way...

At this time, he was accompanied only by Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan, Azi, and his little brother Gou Zazhong.

It's impossible to expect Zhao Min to take care of Ren Yingying. Entrusting Yao Yue with protection... or rather, asking Yao Yue not to hurt Ren Yingying is possible. But if you ask her to take care of Ren Yingying, then the Chu Lu people probably won't be able to leave Leigu Mountain by now.

However, there is also Qu Feiyan. In addition, Chu Luren also temporarily left the four sword attendants at Leigu Mountain to help him take care of Ren Yingying, so that it wouldn't be inconvenient for Qu Feiyan to be alone, especially... what if she can't beat Zhao Min again and gets bullied?

"Brother Chu, are you worried about the Holy Maiden?" Wang Yuyan asked, seeing Chu Luren looking worried.

"Sigh, I'm worried about all of you..." Chu Luren said with a headache.

"Huh?" Wang Yuyan clearly didn't understand.

Chu Luren didn't explain further...

Chu Luren originally thought that, given Yaoyue's high-class demeanor, if she was going to dodge the question, she would do it until the very end, leaving him to guess. But who knew that after dinner last night, Chu Luren had pestered Yaoyue for a while, and she actually... just asked the question out of the blue—when they were alone together, Yaoyue became unusually easy to talk to!

However, the truth that was revealed put even more pressure on Chu Luren.

According to Yaoyue, she will be able to reach the threshold of knocking on the Heavenly Gate in three or four months, and then she will break through the Heavenly Gate. Whether she succeeds or not, she will end her seclusion in six months. If she cannot break through in two or three months, it will prove that her accumulation is not enough to knock on the Heavenly Gate, and there is no point in continuing to force her seclusion.

Whether or not she achieves a breakthrough, at least by then her groundwork will have been laid successfully...

Combining the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" with the inspiration Murong Jiu gave her, Yaoyue prepared to use an unprecedented method to achieve a state of mind that resonated with both "ruthlessness and indifference" and "utmost affection and sincerity".

At that time, she will use the "Arhat Subduing Demons Skill" as a guide to develop her "most emotional and genuine" side into a hidden personality, similar to but different from Xiao Jiu Jiu...

Xiao Jiu Jiu and Murong Jiu can be said to be two split personalities. Although Xiao Jiu Jiu is simple-minded and wants to protect Murong Jiu, they are ultimately almost two different personalities. Murong Jiu doesn't even have the memory of when Xiao Jiu Jiu appeared.

Yaoyue, of course, wouldn't create such a big problem for herself; it's less about her "personality" and more about her state of mind...

However, her "deepest feelings and true nature" side is obviously hidden, and it only shows when she is facing her younger sister... and a certain Tai Sui - after all, the certain Tai Sui is the key to Yao Yue taking this step, otherwise she was prepared to completely sever ties with her younger sister in order to completely complete the "heartless and heartless" process.

Of course, the core reason that prompted her to take this step was that she also realized that only by having both coexisting and balancing can she better explore new heights in martial arts, rather than following the finite path of her predecessors.

However, without the trip to sea, she wouldn't have realized this, nor would she have been able to be so "deeply affectionate and sincere."

For Yaoyue, who is "ruthless and heartless," killing other women who are connected with a certain Tai Sui is just a normal little thing, and she doesn't need to deliberately incite any murderous intent.

Of course, Yaoyue also told Chu Luren that she would also impose restrictions. The compromise between "ruthlessness" and "deep affection" was that she would not "ambush" and kill anyone related to Chu Luren without his presence or preparation. Only by defining this as an "ambush" would the "ruthless" Yaoyue refrain from doing so.

However, Chu Luren was present, and Yaoyue discovered that if he had any... ill intentions, even without saying a word, she would clearly remind him with her aura that she was going to kill someone!

When Chu Luren can withstand a dozen or so moves, his "deepest feelings and true nature" side will basically emerge. Moreover, influenced by this "deepest feelings and true nature" side, his "ruthless and heartless" side will not linger for long.

But if you can't even put up a fight...

Chu Luren should just behave herself and marry into the Yihua Palace!

"It's nothing, I just feel that the martial world is going through a turbulent time right now. As the leader of the Righteous and Righteous Alliance, I should shoulder more responsibility in the martial world, work hard to improve my skills, and strive to make a big leap forward in martial arts within half a year!" Chu Luren was radiating the light of righteousness.

If Ake were here, she would definitely believe it on the spot, with stars twinkling in her eyes.

However, Chu Luren's impassioned speech received little response from Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan, and Azi.

"Brother, you're such a good person!" Dog Bastard praised his sworn brother's sentiments.

……

As they traveled from north to south, passing through Jiaxing and Lin'an, Mu Wanqing teased him, asking if he wanted to visit some old friends.

Mu Wanqing was also quite familiar with Princess Yunluo. When they first met on Peach Blossom Island, Yunluo's self-introduction startled her.

Unfortunately, she also knew that Murong Jiu was Wang Yuyan's cousin, otherwise she could have mocked Chu Luren even more enthusiastically.
