The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Lianxing, still blushing, nodded even more shyly than Chu Luren. Even though no one was around, she answered in a low voice, "It was an application that my sister developed after that incident. I... of course I didn't teach it to you!"

Chu Luren: ...

As expected of the Grand Palace Master, he has learned from his mistakes!

If the predecessors who created the Mingyu Gong had also made such "preparations", how could Yaoyue have only found out when the child was almost born?

Back then, the two sisters didn't speak to each other for a year, and Yaoyue didn't let Lianxing eat a single dish she liked for three years. After five years of being sarcastic and unfriendly, they finally taught Lianxing this application during a seclusion session together.

Of course, Lianxing did not teach Chu Luren this kind of haphazard application.

Although Lianxing's meridians are almost completely severed, preventing him from displaying martial arts skills, he can still sense things—I can tell at a glance that you are not a virgin...

Given that Chu Luren had told her about recent events, Lianxing began to speculate and asked him about it.

Chu Luren had no choice but to obediently retell the abridged version of the story...

"That Iron-Blooded Marquis... he deserves to die!" After hearing this, Lianxing's face showed a rare chill, unlike the coldness that Yaoyue had shown.

Most of the time, Lianxing was imitating Yaoyue. In fact, she had imitated her so many times that she couldn’t tell if she was imitating or not. But this time… Chu Luren felt that it was real!

"Calm down, calm down." Chu Luren patted Lianxing's back to soothe her, feeling a little guilty.

As a result, Lianxing gave Chu Luren a "moon-inviting" glance, and when she saw Chu Luren freeze in his tracks, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It seems that after all her meridians were severed, Lianxing was more easily swayed by external influences, and... there were no signs of her going into a state of demonic possession.

Firstly, Lianxing, like most martial artists, merely imitated others' techniques, unlike Yaoyue who completely integrated the "Mingyu Gong" into her own practice. Although her strength was inferior to Yaoyue's, she was less affected by it. Secondly, Lianxing's meridians were now completely severed, and her internal energy was already on the verge of dissipation, which indirectly freed her from the constraints of her mind.

"So? Are you still going to deliver medicine to Yingying afterwards?" Lianxing asked, both amused and annoyed.

Chu Luren froze, then said awkwardly, "I... I'll find someone to go in my place."

If Lianxing could see it, Yaoyue would naturally see it even better. Although Yaoyue probably hadn't broken through yet, if she was determined to beat him up, there wouldn't be any problem. Not to mention, what if she suddenly broke through on the spot...

Tsk tsk, Chu Luren started to back down.

Although Yaoyue will eventually break through, but...

Escaping is shameful, but it's useful.

But just then, Chu Luren suddenly found his neck being encircled. Lianxing lowered her head to her chest and whispered, "Chu Lang, why don't you... tell your sister that... it was actually with me?"

Chu Luren: ? ? ?

Are you sure this won't make your sister explode even more?

Is this some kind of unconventional rebellion?

So, there was a second half to my rebellious phase with my sister twenty years ago?

and……

Do you think she'll believe me just because I say so? If she can see through me, she can see through you too, right? Unless you're going to…

Chu Luren quickly composed himself. Lately, he seemed to be becoming increasingly vigorous? No, I still want to stabilize my vital energy and restore my training efficiency!

He temporarily rejected Lianxing's suggestion, and soon after, another piece of news completely extinguished Chu Luren's idea of ​​going to Leigu Mountain. Instead, he had to hurry to Sanxiang...

Chapter 830 The Changes in Hunan

Lianxing's first version of the medicinal bath recipe was ineffective, which added a bit of gloom to her heart.

However, according to Wan Chunliu, the medicinal bath formula he gave Yan Nantian had been experimented with for more than ten years. Although he now had experience, it was normal to revise it dozens of times and take one or two years to find the crux of the problem.

For the next few days, Lianxing was basically bathed every day under Piaoxu's care, practicing her exercises while taking the medicinal bath. After the bath, Wan Chunliu would examine her and make a diagnosis, and the prescription was adjusted every day.

Wuxi Qunyu Temple would continuously purchase and deliver medicinal herbs through the channels of the Sun Moon Sect.

Chu Luren, who was initially hesitant about "setting off for Leigushan", also received bad news - something happened in Changsha!

Duan Hefei and Zhao Xiangling, the owner of Diling Manor, had some conflicts in their business dealings in Hunan. Duan Hefei sought help from Jiang Biehe, while Zhao Xiangling sought help from Tie Wushuang. The two sides were negotiating...

This wouldn't normally be a big deal, but at the banquet, Hua Wuque, who came with Jiang Biehe, was poisoned and remains unconscious to this day. Chu Luren received the news on the second day of the seventh lunar month, the banquet lasted until the evening of the twenty-eighth day of the sixth lunar month, and the news was sent out on the afternoon of the twenty-ninth day of the sixth lunar month.

This wasn't due to the speed at which rumors spread, but because it concerned the Yihua Palace. After learning the news, the Changsha Qunyu Academy sent messages by carrier pigeon along the way, changing stations along the way, until they reached the Wuxi Qunyu Academy. The Qunyu Academy then quickly notified the Chu Lu people in the Taihu Lake stronghold.

The only day of delay was when Jiang Biehe initially concealed the news and secretly sought treatment, but discovered that one of the necessary ingredients had been sold out in pharmacies in Changsha, forcing him to reveal the information!

Upon learning of this, Lianxing was also very worried. Chu Luren did not hesitate any longer and immediately set off for Sanxiang.

As for the "Divine Wisdom Ultimate Elixir"...

Chu Luren took the letter with him and asked Xiao Hong to make a long-distance flight—as the "Dragon Beard" and "Grape Snake Gallbladder" were almost completely consumed, Xiao Hong's intelligence was no less than that of Jin Dan, and she could easily find Leigu Mountain, which she had visited many times before.

It's just that getting it from Leigushan to Changsha, according to the map, is a bit difficult.

However, once the goods are delivered, it's fine for them to stay at Leigushan for the time being.

For the sake of Que'er, the Chu Lu people traveled three thousand miles by water without sleep or rest, faster than a relay of carrier pigeons, and arrived in Changsha early in the morning of the fifth day of the seventh month!

Meanwhile, Chu Luren did not forget to spread the news along the way—whether it was true or false, the people of the Righteous Alliance were all saying that Jiang Biehe poisoned Hua Wuque in order to frame Tie Wushuang.

It was even said that Jiang Biehe bribed Tie Wushuang's disciple to secretly kill Tie Wushuang and fake it as a suicide out of guilt, so that there would be no evidence against him after his death!

Upon learning this, Chu Taisui prepared to kill Jiang Biehe's entire family—that is, only the father and son.

The rumor spread like wildfire on Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road, but when it actually reached Changsha, everyone was baffled—because Tie Wushuang was not dead at all!

Although rumors circulated that Tie Wushuang's behavior at the banquet where Hua Wuque was poisoned was highly suspicious and that some evidence had been discovered, Jiang Biehe would not dare to kill Tie Wushuang just because Hua Wuque was poisoned, since it was in Hunan.

As for bribing disciples of the Iron Mansion, that's completely unfounded.

However... Tie Wushuang really doesn't dare to leave Changsha now. To avoid suspicion, he is temporarily staying at the Zhao residence and doesn't go out. There are Duan Hefei's retainers guarding the gate, which is really like being under house arrest!

After all, Hua Wuque was the disciple of Yaoyue and Lianxing. Before Tie Wushuang cleared his name, he dared not do anything suspicious, otherwise he would not be the only one to die!

Of course, because Chu Luren had released the news in advance, Jiang Biehe did not dare to make any rash moves.

After all, Chu Luren had already spread the word. If Tie Wushuang died now, Jiang Biehe felt that... Chu Luren probably wouldn't reason with him!

Jiang Biehe was also puzzled as to how his bribery of Tie Wushuang's disciple had been discovered.

and……

As expected of the Grand Duke of Chu!

They actually guessed most of my plan. We really are the same kind of people...

Little did they know that Chu Luren was only taking precautions because the situation was "similar" to that in the original work!

The difference between "almost" and "almost" surprised Chu Luren.

In the original work, Jiang Biehe poisoned Tie Xinlan through a gift sent by Tie Wushuang, causing Hua Wuque to become flustered due to her concern.

Later, because he bought out all the necessary medicine from the pharmacies in Changsha in advance and sent it to Zhao Xiangling's residence, Hua Wuque's suspicions were further deepened.

In addition, two of Zhao Xiangling's retainers were actually two of the Ten Villains, who also colluded with Jiang Biehe to frame Zhao Xiangling—inciting her to kidnap Duan Hefei. As a result, Zhao Xiangling actually agreed, and was later caught red-handed. As a result, Tie Wushuang's reputation was greatly damaged.

In the original work, although Xiaoyuer saw through the conspiracy, when he was about to expose it, one of Tie Wushuang's disciples suddenly attacked and killed Tie Wushuang in the chaos. After the incident was disguised, it was concluded that he had "committed suicide out of fear of punishment," which not only caused Tie Wushuang to die unjustly, but also ruined his lifelong reputation.

But now the situation is completely different—it is Hua Wuque himself who has been poisoned!

After all, due to Chu Luren's interference, the situation is quite different from the original story. Tie Xinlan and Hua Wuque don't have much contact, and she should still be wandering around with Xiaoyuer...

But... how dare Jiang Biehe?

Chu Luren felt that this guy was too bold. Hua Wuque was confused by his concern and would make a mistake in judgment, but... if Yaoyue was confused by her concern, she would only kill Jiang Biehe as well!

If it weren't for Chu Luren, and it were Yaoyue who had come here, she would have killed everyone present, including the two maids from Yihua Palace, as well as Jiang Biehe and his son—ensuring that the real culprit wouldn't escape while also punishing Jiang Biehe for his inadequate protection.

Even Zhao Xiangling and Duan Hefei, none of them can escape!

Chu Luren understands Yaoyue, so Jiang Biehe should be able to figure it out too...

On second thought, Chu Luren realized that it wasn't that Jiang Biehe's courage had suddenly increased in the martial arts world, but rather... that he had someone else behind him!

This made him feel that he could at least protect himself if he "minorly offended the Yihua Palace".

Of course, this is on the premise that he has not offended the Yihua Palace to the death; otherwise, even if he joins the Divine Marquis, he will have to stay by the Divine Marquis's side from now on.

In other words...

Hua Wuque is not in any real danger to his life!

Chu Luren had already thought of this while on the road, and sure enough, when he arrived in Changsha, he heard the news that Hua Wuque had woken up.

Chu Luren hesitated for a moment. Should he go to Diling Manor where Tie Wushuang was located first, or to Duan Hefei Villa where Jiang Biehe was temporarily staying?

On one side is a close senior colleague, and on the other side is... a junior colleague?

Before he could even process two thoughts, Chu Luren had an idea...

Chapter 831 Addiction

Beneath the surface of calm in Changsha, a storm was already brewing!

Tie Wushuang, a veteran of the Hunan martial arts world and a man known for his love of talent, with disciples all over the world, has surprisingly become involved in the poisoning of the successor of the Yihua Palace.

Moreover... this matter was handled by Jiang Biehe!

In a short time, countless martial arts practitioners from Hunan to Jiangnan flocked to Changsha.

The arrival of Chu Luren in Changsha undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.

Legend has it that when Chu Luren first entered the martial arts world, Tie Wushuang greatly admired and took good care of him—it is said that Chu Luren invited Tie Wushuang to help with Liu Zhengfeng's matter.

Moreover, whenever Chu Luren passed through Xiangtan, unless he was in a particularly urgent situation, he would visit the Tie family and stay for a day or two.

However, the relationship between Chu Luren and Yihua Palace is common knowledge!

Who doesn't know that Yaoyue, who has been wandering the world for nearly twenty years, went to the Five Sacred Mountains Gathering at Mount Song with Chu Luren?

There are even rumors that the two... cough cough! In short, they have a very close relationship.

So now that Chu Luren has come to Changsha from Wuxi under the starry night, which side will he stand on?

Everyone was curious and didn't know, and the most important indicator was who Chu Luren would visit first after arriving in Changsha.

"Chu Taisui is here! He's definitely not afraid of offending Jiang Biehe. Others dare not visit Elder Tie, but he certainly will!"

"That's not necessarily true. He may not be afraid of offending Master Jiang, but... how could the Righteous Alliance not side with the Yihua Palace?"

"No, no, no, those rumors about Jiang Biehe were clearly spread by people from the Righteous Alliance."
