The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Hua Wuque, far away in Changsha, Jingnan, sneezed...

Back then, he used to fawn over people and call them "Playboy," but now he's considered a "lazybones."

"Is it difficult to disobey the master's orders? Then it's still the two palace masters, Yaoyue and Lianxing..." Wan Chunliu was clearly not confused.

Upon hearing this, Chu Luren slammed his hand on the table and angrily said, "Yes! This is outrageous! Why make things difficult for a child? So what if their relationship broke down? Anyone would think he's still hung up on that pretty boy Jiang Feng! When I see him, I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind!"

Wan Chunliu initially thought Chu Taisui was trying to mess with him and was about to show his strength, but when he realized that Chu Taisui was actually talking about this, he instinctively reassured him, "It's not that bad, it's not that bad..."

Just as Wan Chunliu was wondering if he had fallen into a trap, Chu Luren interrupted, "How could it not be? Don't even mention you, I've long disapproved of this! There's no need to persuade her anymore, I will absolutely not let her continue to be obsessed with Jiang Feng!"

"Huh? Ah..." Wan Chunliu's eyes were a little vacant... Were we originally discussing this?

"It's settled then!" Chu Luren said without room for argument, then asked, "So, after things are settled at the Dragon Guard Manor, will you trouble Doctor Wan to treat Lianxing?"

Wan Chunliu: ? ? ?

When did I agree to that?

After staring at Chu Luren for a while, Wan Chunliu sighed and said, "Alright, but the condition of meridian damage varies from person to person. I will do my best."

Firstly, Chu Luren had saved Xiaoyuer; secondly, Wan Chunliu was a compassionate healer; and thirdly... after all, it was Lianxing, not Yaoyue!

Wan Chunliu was still thinking to himself, "If it were Master Yan here, he would definitely ask him for help too..."

Chu Luren was also curious: if the real Yan Nantian wasn't with Wan Chunliu, where was he hiding to heal his wounds?

However, he did not raise any questions, lest Wan Chunliu become nervous knowing that he had seen through Yan Nantian and Lu Zhongyuan's plan.

Chu Luren thought for a moment, and realized that none of this had involved any favors from the Prince of Ruyang's mansion—so could it be considered that Zhao Min paid "ransom"? It shouldn't be considered that, right?

After leaving the Dragon Guard Manor, Chu Luren returned to the inn, noticing many people staring at him along the way...

Although they were all hiding their identities and dressed in all sorts of ways, most of them didn't really conceal their tracks—clearly, they were spies from the Dragon Guard Manor, and... the Divine Marquis was also using this to inform Chu Luren that they were monitoring him!

It seems that at least until June 15th, when Su Xin wakes up, Zhao Wushi will absolutely not dare to let his guard down regarding any disturbances in the capital.

To feel at ease, one must have an "exact understanding" of the Chu Lu people.

Therefore, in the evening, he received a letter from Murong Jiu delivered by Xiao Hong. The letter also told Chu Luren to behave himself for the next few days and to come to the Princess's mansion after June 15th.

Chu Luren was quite understanding, but at this moment in the Princess's residence, Murong Jiu was already drunkenly beating the princess—Yunluo knew she couldn't play with Chu Luren for the next few days, so she accused the prince consort of lying, which resulted in Murong Jiu, in a fit of rage, pinning her to his knees and giving her a beating according to family rules…

The two argued all night!

Even the servants in the mansion were slightly alarmed...

The next day, Shenhou also received the news that Princess Yunluo and her husband had a fierce argument!

Wan Sanqian was also in the secret room at this time. After looking at the message, he said, "It seems that Princess Yunluo is still attached to that Chu Luren? If it weren't for Murong Kezhi, it might have added some complications if they met."

“It’s different. Yunluo knows that her marriage is fake, so she will naturally change her mind from time to time. But Chu Luren doesn’t know that. How could an ordinary man possibly accept that?” Zhao Tiedan said reasonably.

If one were unaware of Murong Jiu's situation, from another person's perspective, at this time, Murong Fu and Yun Luo were engaged in a fake marriage in order to enter and leave the palace and to check Cao Zhengchun. Murong Fu had already turned against Chu Luren and sided with Shenhou, and Yun Luo and Chu Luren had become like strangers as a result.

In the eyes of Shenhou and Wan Sanqian, Chu Luren indeed fell into the trap, began to distance himself from Yunluo, and severed his ties with the royal family—this was exactly the effect they wanted to achieve!

Therefore, as soon as Chu Luren arrived, a quarrel broke out in the Princess's mansion. It was naturally assumed that Yunluo wanted to see Chu Luren, but was stopped by Murong Kuoye!

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Tiedan said, "However... since the daughter of the Liu family has already betrayed us, the fact that Murong Fu and Chu Luren have turned against each other is no longer entirely believable."

The Marquis wasn't worried that if things really turned out this way, Yunluo's meeting with Chu Luren would have a significant impact. However, he was still worried that Murong Fu and Chu Luren had been putting on an act from the very beginning!

After all, he's acted in so many roles that it's easy for him to suspect everyone...

"Didn't the Divine Marquis say that an ordinary man wouldn't be able to stay calm after all this?" Wan Sanqian retorted.

“Although it is real, Yunluo still thinks it might be fake.” Zhao Tiedan’s eyes turned cold.

Indeed, a princess of noble birth, of noble birth, how could there be any talk of a fake marriage?

It was absolutely real, but to appease Yunluo, they pretended it was fake before, and the two of them hadn't even consummated their marriage yet!

"Is the Marquis going to lend him a hand? Sigh, when it comes to matters between young men and women, it's never a good thing if outsiders help." Wan Sanqian sighed, his voice tinged with disdain.

What's distasteful is that Murong Fu, that good-for-nothing, hasn't even consummated his marriage with the princess yet!

To prevent the princess from losing her temper and causing a scene, the Marquis and Murong Fu had instructed him not to use any forceful methods, but...

Living under the same roof, how come we still can't conquer the world?

"What a piece of trash!" Wan Sanqian thought to himself, looking down on Murong Fu.

At the same time, it was also a reminder to the Divine Marquis not to interfere in his and Haitang's affairs—well, young men and women... I, Wan Sanqian, would also count!

Shenhou glanced at him, then nodded and said, "After Suxin wakes up, we will naturally have to resolve this matter... When I absorb the cold poison, my martial arts will be greatly restricted, so I will have to put in more effort, Brother Wan."

The Divine Marquis has already prepared for a complete weakening of his forces...

If Shenhou is unable to appear, Wan Sanqian will become the second core of the Dragon Guard Manor.

"Ah, with such deep affection from the Divine Marquis, Miss Suxin will surely be moved." Wan Sanqian reassured the Divine Marquis.

Moreover, Wan Sanqian didn't think that Shenhou's martial arts would be restricted too much.

Over the years, Shenhou has intentionally absorbed excessive amounts of internal energy from masters of pure Yang. He is currently in a state of constraint. After absorbing the cold poison, his martial arts will actually improve greatly after a brief period of weakness...

After Wan Sanqian left, Shenhou was alone in the secret room, his eyes growing colder and colder—Wan Sanqian didn't want him to interfere too much in his and Haitang's affairs, but... could he handle it on his own?

If there are oversights and it becomes impossible to completely control Wan Sanqian...

Brother Wan, I'm so sorry!

……

Three days later, Chu Luren was still unaware that Shenhou, before even crossing the river, had already planned to dismantle the bridge and arrived at the secret chamber beneath the Dragon Guard Manor as promised...

Chapter 824 Taking

In the underground chamber of the Dragon Guardian Manor, the temperature was exceptionally low because the ice coffin containing the thousand-year-old ice was placed there.

In fact, when the millennium-old ice hasn't melted, it doesn't have much impact on the outside temperature; it's more like a piece of cold jade.

However, in recent years, with the opening of the Heavenly Gate, the millennia-old ice has begun to melt, and its impact on the surrounding environment has become more severe.

Chu Luren was still a little worried—he wondered if the Ancient Tomb Sect's bed was also made of thousand-year-old ice, and whether it had melted yet...

At this moment, in the secret chamber, besides Su Xin, who was dressed in red and lay motionless in the ice coffin with very weak breathing, there was Zhao Wushi sitting in front of her, and Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya on the left and right as protectors. Behind them were Chu Luren and Wan Chunliu, who were on standby at any time.

Chu Luren remained silent about Murong Jiu's absence.

Perhaps he was testing himself, wondering how he would react if he discovered that "the Marquis does not trust Murong Fu".

With Huang Rong not around, Chu Luren didn't think too much about it and pretended not to see anything—although it wasn't the perfect thing to do, at least it wouldn't reveal any major flaws.

"It's starting." Shenhou said, stepping forward with deep affection and carrying Suxin, who was dressed in a wedding gown, out of the room.

Then he held her in his arms and gently stroked her face.

At this moment, a chilling blue aura emerged from Su Xin's body and flowed down Shen Hou's palm toward Su Xin's face!

The Marquis accepted this without question, and gradually his face began to turn bluish...

Chu Luren silently cursed in his heart that simps should die a horrible death, while pursing his lips, but made no other move.

This transaction was quite profitable for him; he didn't need to do anything to get the "Divine Wisdom Ultimate Pill." Chu Luren had no intention of tricking Zhao Tiedan in this matter.

A moment later, Su Xin's complexion returned to normal, but Shen Hou was almost like an Avatar. At this moment, he put Su Xin down, and Hai Tang quickly stepped forward to support her. She then took out a Tianxiang cardamom pod the size of a baby's fist and stuffed it directly into Su Xin's mouth!

Chu Luren: ? ? ?

Will he really not die from suffocation?

As it turns out, Chu Luren's worries were unnecessary. The specific mechanism is unclear, but Tianxiang Doukou began to take effect immediately upon entering the mouth.

Chu Luren, who was guarding the Mingyu Terrace, could clearly feel that Su Xin, whose life force had been stagnant, was now being stimulated. Her heartbeat and breathing gradually increased to the level of an ordinary person.

But just then, Chu Luren frowned—something's wrong! It's still getting stronger!

At the same time, Wan Chunliu immediately stepped forward, opened the wooden box he was carrying, grabbed various sizes of gold needles, pulled Su Xin over, and started pricking her through her clothes...

The situation, which was about to spiral out of control, was immediately stopped. Su Xin's heartbeat, breathing, and other physiological functions were brought under control at the level of an ordinary person and gradually calmed down.

From beginning to end, Chu Luren had no room to intervene...

If there's any use he can have, it's that he can help Shenhou resolve the cold poison more quickly, but neither of them will heal each other.

After all, they are wary of each other and unwilling to let the other's true energy enter their bodies, so how can they talk about internal energy healing?

The Marquis invited him only as a precaution; it would be best if nothing happened and he wasn't needed.

"Miss Suxin's condition has stabilized. She just needs normal recuperation afterward. There's no need for any special tonics," Wan Chunliu said as he removed the needles one by one.

"Thank you both for your help." As Shenhou spoke, he looked entirely at Suxin, clearly his mind was on her.

"You're too kind, Divine Marquis. With the miraculous effects of Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, even without my acupuncture..."

Shenhou was distracted and not paying attention to Wan Chunliu's words when he suddenly shouted, "What do you mean by 'lost virginity'?"

Wan Chunliu: ? ? ?

"Ahem, I still need to resist the cold poison. Haitang, please help me thank the two of you." Shenhou realized he had lost his composure and quickly changed the subject.

Wan Chunliu felt something was off, but he didn't delve into it—doctors shouldn't pry into their patients' privacy.

Shangguan Haitang led Chu Luren and Wan Chunliu out, while Duan Tianya cautiously followed behind Chu Luren, keeping a close eye on him for fear that he might do something strange...

When Chu Luren left the underground chamber and saw the light of day again, he was in high spirits—the "Divine Wisdom Ultimate Pill" had only been given to him in advance, but now it truly belonged to him.

Considering how particular Shenhou was, Chu Luren gave up the idea of ​​relaying Gu Santong's message—after all, Gu Santong hadn't asked him to relay the message at all; he had asked Cheng Shifei.

Pure Heart's Matters...

Chu Luren decided to pretend he didn't know. Although Zhao Wushi was a scoundrel, it was hard to tell who was right and who was wrong when it came to feelings. Let it be!

Shangguan Haitang looked at Chu Taisui with an expression that said, "Divine Marquis, you really owe me a huge favor," and asked unhappily, "Thank you for your help, Alliance Leader Chu. What are your plans afterward, Alliance Leader Chu?"

"Hmm? Hmm... I don't have any plans. Do I need to report my future plans to the Dragon Guard Manor?" Chu Luren said unpleasantly.

"That's not necessary. It's just that the capital is a very important place, and a small move here can have far-reaching consequences. I'm just reminding you to be careful... Alliance Leader Chu, please do as you please." Shangguan Haitang didn't say much more; she already had enough on her mind.

What are your plans?

Since he wasn't going to cause trouble for Shenhou, Chu Luren planned to head north, first taking Wan Chunliu to Taihu Lake to treat Lianxing, and then continuing north to Leigu Mountain to deliver medicine to Yingying.

Well, Chu Luren's only hope is that Yaoyue won't break through at this exact moment, so that he can have some more time to prepare!
