The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Yunluo pursed her lips upon hearing this—Lianxing…

"Then?"

"Go to Leigu Mountain and deliver medicine to Yingying."

Yunluo: ...

"I suddenly don't want to travel the world with you anymore!"

"I think……"

"You think beautiful!"

Chapter 828 Unyielding Alliance

When Chu Luren left Plum Manor, it was completely unnoticed by anyone.

When Murong Jiu and Yun Luo left together and returned to the capital, it was clear that Yun Luo's feelings towards Murong Jiu were a mixture of resentment and anger, along with a touch of shyness, while Murong Jiu appeared apologetic but secretly harbored a sense of smugness...

It fits the "script" perfectly!

At most, Yunluo's shyness was a bit too much, which made Zhao Wuguang feel that "Murong Fu" had been almost completely won over, but the final qualitative change was still needed.

This is in line with expectations...

Of course, Murong Fu then went to see Zhao Wushi with a hint of annoyance, but naturally to no avail. Zhao Wushi's reason was quite valid: "I am doing this to fulfill your wishes."

As for the disguise master's death, Murong Fu didn't offer much explanation, nor did he try to cover up the fatal wound.

After all, Chu Luren also knows finger techniques, and even if he can tell it's the Canhe Finger, it doesn't matter, Murong Jiu can just deny it!

On the contrary, it better reflects Murong Fu's arrogance.

As for the disappearance of the Chu Lu people...

Murong Fu has also confirmed to the Divine Marquis that he did not harm the Chu Lu people—which, for Murong Fu, is a testament to his consistent intelligence.

After all, killing Chu Luren directly would bring a lot of trouble afterward. Just being targeted by the Yihua Palace, Ming Cult, and Sun Moon Cult would be a major obstacle to his restoration of the kingdom.

At that time, the Dragon Guard Manor will only sever ties with him...

Wan Chunliu also suddenly "disappeared" in the morning, so the matter of Chu Luren "leaving with resentment" can be considered settled—that was originally Zhao Wushi's opinion!

Did they think that Chu Luren would leave in disgrace after experiencing such a great shock or even humiliation, and thus completely break ties with Murong Fu?

However, the people of Chulu were not about to give up so easily...

The incident happened on the night of June 18th. Wan Chunliu was picked up on June 19th and sent to the water village. Chu Luren returned to Lin'an that very night. How could Chu Luren swallow this insult without teaching Zhao Wushi a lesson?

At noon on June 20th, when several markets in Lin'an were bustling with activity, a group of thugs suddenly started banging drums and gongs and shouting, "Suxin! I miss you! Suxin! Santong misses you!"

They didn't know what it meant, but someone had hired them...

Four streets were also vandalized with paint:

I dared to do anything in my life, but I dared not say "I love you"—Gu Santong, his last words.

He used his powers to frame me, he stole your heart, but I didn't blame him. However, he said that I had never truly loved you, and that was the first time I had the thought of killing him. —Gu Santong, Last Words

Other examples include: "I, Gu Santong, wish to become a stone bridge, enduring five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain, just so you can walk across it," "A single bow before the Buddha for three thousand years, looking back on the mortal world, I envy no immortality," and "If I pick up my sword, I cannot embrace you; if I put down my sword, I cannot protect you"...

Many of these seemingly profound but ultimately meaningless statements have emerged, and they've even been labeled as belonging to "Gu Santong and Su Xin."

even……

Similar messages have been painted on the palace walls, the outer walls of the Dragon Guard Manor, and inside the Number One Manor in the World!

When Shangguan Haitang learned of this, she came to consult her adoptive father. Although her adoptive father remained outwardly calm and simply ordered the secret agents of the Dragon Guard Manor to be dispatched to crack down on and quell the unrest in the capital, Haitang discovered that all the decorations, tables, chairs, and ornaments in the study had been replaced.

Moreover, it's obvious that even if Su Xin has just woken up and won't leave the manor, it's useless for him to have time to quell the unrest in the capital!

In terms of gathering classified intelligence, the Righteous Alliance is far inferior to the Dragon Guard Manor's spy network. However, when it comes to setting the tone and spreading information, the Dragon Guard Manor is no match for the Righteous Alliance!

It's obvious that this is just the first wave of protests. Afterwards, the people of Chulu will inevitably spread rumors all over the world about Gu Santong's love words, or rather, the love words spoken by the people of Chulu through Gu Santong's words...

Faced with the size of the Righteous Alliance, even if the Dragon Guard Manor wanted to block the news, it would be futile.

Sooner or later, no matter where in the government or in the countryside, everyone will be brainwashed by these lies from the Righteous Alliance—most of which Zhao Wushi would never believe that Gu Santong, that bastard, could have said.

However, it must be said that these are indeed very contagious...

What's even more deadly is that Chu Luren spread the word widely from the martial arts world, without any regard for reason. In the process of spreading the word, he made people vaguely aware that it was said by a person named "Gu Santong," and that was how he achieved his goal!

This isn't even a story, and it doesn't need to be believed...

At the same time, Zhao Wushi finally confirmed that Gu Santong had indeed said something to Chu Luren before his death.

Zhao Wushi didn't care much at first, since Gu Santong didn't know about his plans behind the scenes. At most, the case of the massacre of a group of masters from various sects back then would be brought up again, but such matters at the level of the martial arts world wouldn't have much impact on Tie Dan Shenhou—after all, he was the imperial uncle and the Dragon Protector Shenhou!

Besides, can a single sentence from that devil Gu Santong serve as evidence in such a matter?

Moreover, it wasn't even a single sentence from Gu Santong, but rather a sentence relayed by Chu Taisui, which makes it even less credible!

But unexpectedly...

Chu Luren didn't bother with lawsuits or reopening old cases; he attacked Su Xin relentlessly from her perspective. Unless Su Xin was kept away from the outside world for the rest of her life, she would eventually hear about these things.

Moreover, once these rumors spread among the people, the obstacles to Zhao Wushi's desire to marry Su Xin openly and honestly will be even greater!

When he first learned of this, Zhao Wushi even spat out a mouthful of cold blood—he was already in a period of weakness due to the cold poison.

The crackdown in the capital was not going smoothly either, because Cheng Shifei was the commander of the Imperial Guards, specifically responsible for maintaining order within the city...

Pure Heart? Ancient Three Links?

Cheng Shifei vaguely understood something...

Although he knew many of these words weren't actually said by his cheapskate master, still… you old monkey, how dare you seduce my master's wife? Brother Lu is much smarter…

Therefore, Cheng Shifei dared not oppose Shenhou to his face, but he did not put in any effort and even caused trouble for the Dragon Guard Manor openly and secretly. The Dragon Guard Manor's spies were ultimately just spies; the ones with law enforcement power were the Imperial Guards!

If a spy wants to silence someone, the Imperial Guards have a hard time controlling them. But... if you want to arrest all the thugs and ruffians in the city, or even prohibit ordinary people from saying anything in teahouses and taverns? Sorry, you really can't do it without the cooperation of the Imperial Guards.

Not to mention the Eastern Depot was also there, just waiting for the Dragon Guard Manor to make a mistake!

At that moment, Zhao Wushi truly regretted it.

He hadn't expected Chu Luren's reaction to be so intense—although Chu Luren had provoked him to his face before, he could at least sense that Chu Luren didn't intend to confront him directly.

This time, however, Chu Luren was determined to be his sworn enemy!

It's understandable, considering what happened. Chu Luren is still young and impetuous!

If time could turn back, Zhao Wushi would definitely slap his past self from three days ago and stop provoking this madman, bastard, and beast...

Chapter 829 Mingyu Gong's Life Hacks

Chu Luren wrote more than a dozen letters and sent them to Xiao Hong one by one, preparing to inform the righteous people in the alliance and promote the romantic spirit...

Only after that did they return to Taihu Water Village and find Wan Chunliu, who had given Lianxing her initial diagnosis.

“Lianxing… Miss’s injuries are somewhat different from those of Master Yan. I’m still considering it. I hope to give the first version of the medicinal bath formula to Chu Taisui tonight, and then get the medicine according to the formula tomorrow. After trying it, I will make adjustments.” Wan Chunliu thought Chu Luren was in a hurry.

"Thank you for troubling you, Doctor Wan. Actually... there's something else I'd like to ask you." Chu Luren seemed to have something difficult to say.

Wan Chunliu frowned slightly upon hearing this, but still said, "Lord Chu, please speak freely."

Wan Chunliu had some guesses about the prescription that Wan Sanqian asked him for. He thought that Chu Luren was feeling a little weak because of this and wanted to make amends.

"I have a friend..."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Wan became even more serious.

"His aptitude for martial arts was already poor, and he accidentally lost his virginity. Can... he regain it?" Chu Luren asked casually, as if he was just asking for a friend.

Wan Chunliu: ...

To fix it? What kind of magical idea is that? You're dreaming!

"The harmony of Yin and Yang is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth, so how can it be said to be made up for?" Wan Chunliu rolled his eyes.

Chu Luren left in disappointment.

That's right. Chu Luren was in his early twenties when he transmigrated, and only five years have passed since then. As a great hero, it is indeed too early for him to lose his virginity at the age of twenty-six or twenty-seven.

Normally, martial arts masters marry and have children in their thirties or forties, and those with high martial arts skills may even marry and have children in their forties or fifties. Although there are exceptions, generally speaking, the higher the martial arts skills, the later the marriage and childbearing.

The age difference between fathers and daughters, such as Huang Yaoshi and Huang Rong, and fathers and sons like Shui Dai and Shui Sheng, reveals the clues.

Besides the fact that heroes are all quite busy (LANG), there are naturally other reasons as well!

Leaving aside a very few martial arts that require the balance of Yin and Yang, most other internal skills are best practiced by virgin boys. Even if it's not an extreme example like "Virgin Boy Skill" or "Pure Yang Limitless Skill" where losing one's virginity risks dissipating the skill, the effect of cultivation is always better when one still has a breath of pure Yang energy.

Not to mention that Chu Luren's internal energy cultivation had also incorporated this type of martial art.

Already lacking in talent, Chu Luren's cultivation efficiency decreased by 30-40% after his previous actions, even though he didn't experience any additional loss of power.

Fortunately, Chu Luren was already an adult, so it didn't affect his comprehension much; otherwise, the losses would have been even more incalculable.

After feeling depressed for a while, Chu Luren adjusted her state before going to see Lianxing—so that Lianxing wouldn't mistakenly think that it was Lianxing's problem if she saw that Chu Luren was not in a good state.

Lianxing's external injuries have mostly healed, and she is now able to get out of bed and walk around, but...

The disability in her hands and feet would be noticeable, so she was somewhat lame, which made her very uncomfortable. Unless Liu Sheng Piaoxu cleared the area in advance, she was unwilling to even leave the house.

Compared to losing 80-90% of her martial arts skills, Lianxing was clearly more concerned about the fact that her physical disabilities could not be concealed.

Instead of using Zhao Min, Chu Lang directly summoned Wan Chunliu and asked him to treat her, which made Ling Lianxing feel both shy and happy.

However... even in front of Chu Lang, Lianxing tried her best to sit still and hide her hands in her sleeves.

Lianxing had been recuperating at the water village, so there wasn't much to talk about. If anything, they could only talk about how close the sisterly bond was with Yaoyue. So most of the time, Chu Luren talked about what he had seen and heard during this period.

During this time, Chu Luren also noticed that Lianxing's expression was unusual several times, as if she wanted to ask him something. This made Chu Luren feel guilty. It must be because I was upset about my declining cultivation efficiency and Lianxing thought that something had happened to her injury.

Just as Chu Luren was about to explain, Lianxing blushed and asked softly, "You went to Lin'an? Then... then was Chu Lang with Murong Jiu, or... that princess?"

Chu Luren: ? ? ?

"You...I..." Chu Luren was shocked and instinctively wanted to deny it, but she still shut up listlessly.

Chu Luren hadn't expected that others would see through him—after all, he had used his skills quite a bit before, but in martial arts cultivation, it was the union of yin and yang that caused the loss of primordial yang, so there shouldn't be any outward manifestation of it.

"Mingyu Gong...can you tell?" Chu Luren asked Lianxing in a low voice.
