The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Hua Wuque's ability to defend the Mingyu Terrace while unconscious was beyond Chu Luren's expectations. After all, Lianxing couldn't do it, and Yaoyue... at least on the seventh floor, she couldn't do it either. Now, it's hard to say.

This requires not only mastery of the "Mingyu Gong" but also a certain state of mind and temperament.

Moreover, when Chu Luren was guarding Mingyutai, he focused more on physical perception. Yaoyue should be the same now, unable to perceive human emotions like Hua Wuque!

This is probably related to Hua Wuque's "special cultivation method"...

Lianxing said that in order to prevent Hua Wuque from accidentally discovering anything, Yaoyue usually forbids Hua Wuque from using the wide-range perception of the Mingyu Gong.

Therefore, Hua Wuque is probably the person who made the least use of his perception in the history of cultivating the Mingyu Gong.

This is also one of the important reasons why he maintains a "childlike heart". Otherwise, if he knew that everyone has two faces in front of others and behind their backs, and that so many people flatter him on the surface but are jealous of him behind his back, how could he maintain a normal mind?

Chu Luren suspects that it is this peculiar mentality that makes Hua Wuque's "Mingyu Gong" different from Yaoyue and Lianxing's.

Of course, the Chu Luren's mixed version is definitely different from anyone else's.

The reason Hua Wuque hadn't mentioned the unusual emotions he sensed from Zhao Xiangling and the others was because he didn't want to hurt anyone because of it...

It's normal for Zhao Xiangling to feel a little hostile towards him when he came with Jiang Biehe. As for jealousy... well, Hua Wuque is used to it; he usually prefers to ignore it.

But this left Chu Luren confused—who exactly poisoned him?

Chapter 835 A Reliable Teammate Arrives

"who?"

"Capture him! He must be Tie Wushuang's accomplice!"

"stop!"

Chu Luren was questioning Hua Wuque in his room when he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance. Chu Luren glanced at Hua Wuque—as expected, he showed no unusual expression, probably because he had become accustomed to not using his senses over a wide area.

"Something seems to have happened. I'll go check it out," Chu Luren said, and then dashed off in the direction the voice came from.

Not far from the kitchen in the manor, a man in black was surrounded by Duan Hefei's guards. Jiang Biehe had also arrived and appeared to have exchanged a few blows with the man.

Jiang Biehe remained composed, but the man in black seemed to be struggling to breathe...

At the same time, Chu Luren had already recognized the person who came and even discovered her "accomplices".

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Chu Luren came over making a racket.

"Excuse me, Alliance Leader Chu. This young man may have something on his mind and has infiltrated the manor. I was just about to ask him about it." Jiang Biehe acted like a kind-hearted person who wouldn't speak ill of others.

"Are you blind? I invited my friend here, what are you all doing here? If I invited my friend as a guest, do I need to greet Duan Hefei?" Chu Luren never reasoned with Jiang Biehe.

After all, hypocrites are least afraid of reasoning...

“Since you are a friend of Alliance Leader Chu, then… excuse me.” Jiang Biehe finished speaking and immediately turned to leave.

Seeing this, the guards hesitated and looked at a woman holding a large pipe. She was frowning at Chu Luren when she stepped forward and raised her chin slightly, saying, "This is my family's villa. How can your invitation to guests have nothing to do with my father?"

Indeed, this person was Duan Hefei's daughter, but at this moment she was wearing a dark brown long dress, and her hair was not neatly styled, so she didn't look like a lady from a prominent family, not to mention the pipe in her hand...

Chu Luren's face twitched slightly. In front of the man's daughter, Chu Luren couldn't very well say something like cutting off his flesh to extract oil.

Of course, the other party deliberately adopted a high-pitched tone and raised his chin, trying to suppress Chu Luren with his aura, but it was obviously in vain. All that could be said was that young lady, you know too little about the martial arts world.

"Good question! Why is it none of your father's business... well, you should ask your father!" Chu Luren argued so vehemently while also throwing in a moralistic joke.

“You…” Upon hearing this, Miss Duan tightened her grip on her pipe.

However, Chu Luren had already turned to look at the man in black. Miss Duan wanted to ask more questions, but... if she asked Chu Luren again, she would feel like she was being taken advantage of, so she could only leave angrily with her men.

Chu Luren asked about the man in black's injuries, but she just shook her head. Then, seeing that no one was around, she spoke to a shadowy spot among the debris, "Come out, I see you."

"Hehe, as expected of Brother Chu!" Little Fish suddenly emerged from the shadows, still dressed in the clothes of the manor's cook.

The man in black then spoke: "Where have you been? I thought you'd been captured!"

As for the chest muscles, you can be a little tougher on yourself and tighten them up, but once you open your mouth, your female voice can't be hidden.

That's right, the newcomer is none other than Tie Xinlan, who is with Xiaoyuer!

A few days ago, Xiaoyuer suddenly said he wanted to come to Hefei to find out who had "helped" poisoned the people of Yihua Palace. As a result, starting yesterday, a layer of brick wall was scraped off the spot where the two had marked their secret code...

Tie Xinlan was still worried, and having heard that someone seemed to have been captured in the Duan family's villa, she couldn't help but come to investigate.

"Huh? Then why did you come in dressed in black before it got dark? Did you think that the Duan family would be focused on eating during dinner time and wouldn't see you?" Chu Luren looked at Tie Xinlan with a puzzled expression.

Tie Xinlan blushed and remained silent. Xiao Yu'er then said, "Women, when they want to do something, they do it, especially when it involves someone they like. They don't care about the consequences at all."

Chu Luren made no comment on Xiaoyuer's provocative remarks.

Upon hearing this, Tie Xinlan's face turned even redder, and she stomped on his foot hard before... hiding back in the kitchen.

Seeing that Xiaoyuer had sent Tie Xinlan away, Chu Luren asked expectantly, "What did you find out?"

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyuer was also in Changsha. Sure enough, as long as Yaoyue wasn't with him, Hua Wuque would slack off terribly when it came to chasing Xiaoyuer.

For the Chu Lu people...

Let's consider this good news!

Otherwise, if Huang Rong weren't around, Chu Luren would really have wanted to use brute force to defeat Jiang Biehe and kill him directly, instead of trying to use his brain here!

But it's not all good news. We have to get rid of him quickly, otherwise things will get complicated if Yaoyue comes!

"Nine out of ten people who poisoned him were..."

Chu Luren listened attentively, and Xiaoyuer added, "It's not Tie Wushuang!"

Chu Luren: ...

"Isn't that obvious? I'm asking you if you've found any evidence of Jiang Biehe's crimes!" Chu Luren said irritably, then added, "You've practiced martial arts for a few years, and now you dare to mess with me? You're not even as good as Hua Wuque!"

Indeed, Xiaoyuer has made rapid progress in the past few years. It seems that complex skills like the Five Ultimate Divine Skills are just right for him.

Indeed, both brothers are exceptionally talented!

However, he still can't compare to Hua Wuque, after all, Hua Wuque has been practicing martial arts and cultivating his character since childhood...

Although Xiaoyuer's life may not have been better than Hua Wuque's, as he also had to take turns learning from the villains and eventually even surpass them, in the end, Xiaoyuer fell far behind in the basics of martial arts.

He, who was always good at using his brain, didn't even think that martial arts were very useful at first!

After a series of setbacks, he realized that his martial arts skills... couldn't be too low.

However, at this point, they had only just begun to get started and were already far behind. To be able to catch up to the point where they were only a step behind was already a result of perfect timing, favorable location, and harmonious relationships!

After hearing Chu Luren's words, Xiaoyuer fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Brother Chu, how much do you think I am inferior to... that guy?"

Chu Luren could tell from his expression that he had probably been fooled by Hua Wuque, so he deliberately said, "Be serious and steady. He will definitely beat you after a hundred moves. If he is just fooling you, it is normal for him to fight for three days and three nights without a winner."

As expected, Xiaoyuer immediately became depressed, it seems he really had "sparred" with Hua Wuque...

"Alright, tell me quickly, have you found any evidence of Jiang Biehe's crimes?" Chu Luren pressed.

“Brother Chu, we think alike! I also think it must be that wicked Jiangnan hero! It’s a pity that even I don’t understand how he could put that medicine bottle on Tie Wushuang without even touching him.” Xiaoyuer was also puzzled.

"Could there be something wrong with the wine pot?" Chu Luren suggested.

If the wine jug contained two kinds of wine, then there would be no need to poison them on the spot. It's possible that the poison bottle was placed on Tie Wushuang's body by some other means long ago.

"The Mandarin Duck Revolving Pot? I've already seen it. It's just an ordinary wine pot. The poison bottle was on Jiang Biehe when it was poisoned, and Jiang Biehe hasn't had any contact with Tie Wushuang since then..." Xiaoyuer scratched his head.

As expected, Xiaoyuer is more reliable; he dug up all the missing evidence.

Seeing this, Chu Luren relayed what Hua Wuque had told him to Xiaoyuer—of course, he didn't mention Tie Wushuang's disciple or Zhao Xiangling's strange behavior, only saying that Jiang Biehe was not acting strangely.

Little Fish curled his lip in response: "What's that? I can walk up to a tiger and plunge a knife into its throat without it even feeling the killing intent."

Indeed, this is routine for Little Fish...

Chu Luren suddenly realized that Jiang Biehe had immediately broken free from his "Heaven and Earth Strike Technique" earlier, so it was very likely that Jiang Biehe had also cultivated a mental technique.

However, the fact that Tie Wushuang was poisoned remains unexplained. Jiang Biehe and Tie Wushuang were separated by Hua Wuque at the time; there shouldn't have been any physical contact between them…

Chapter 836 Investigation

This vast world is ultimately a world of martial arts.

Even a supreme spiritual technique created by someone like Chu Luren, who drew on the strengths of many schools and integrated them, still falls within the scope of spiritual guidance.

Although Chu Luren forcibly gave it the name "Heaven and Earth Shattering Technique," it is actually far from being that miraculous, and it can hardly be considered a "mental attack."

To achieve the best results, all spiritual and magical arts require possessing something that others don't.

First, when you are mentally prepared to take advantage of someone who is not, the other party will be on guard and it will be difficult for them to lose their composure. Second, if someone with a secret technique is bullying someone without one, the effect will be greatly reduced if the other party also has one – even if there is a significant difference in skill between the two sides!

Chu Luren's "Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique" will certainly give him a significant advantage in battle, but it will be difficult for him to defeat anyone with purely spiritual secret techniques.

Jiang Biehe's previous performance could easily be attributed to his supernatural powers.

Even so, it still doesn't explain why the poison was on Tie Wushuang.

If we're talking about suspects, Chu Luren certainly has some—after all, in the original work, Tie Wushuang had a disciple who betrayed him and stabbed him in the back. Although the original work didn't say who it was, the only ones present at the time were Bai Qiong and Liu Qin.

Although they were able to gain Tie Wushuang's trust, how did they manage to hide such a large medicine bottle on his waist without being discovered?

This can't be explained by "trust," can it?

Moreover, the two of them were standing to the side at the time, so they shouldn't have had a chance to poison him. Hua Wuque was flanked by Tie Wushuang and Jiang Biehe. It seemed unlikely that Jiang Biehe could have bypassed Hua Wuque and given the medicine bottle to Tie Wushuang, or that he could have done it through Tie Wushuang's disciple.

Just then, Lotus came rushing over in a rage.

only……

Upon seeing Chu Luren, she still lowered her head in fear. After several attempts to compose herself, she weakly asked, "Chu... Alliance Leader! Why... are you protecting the accomplice of the poisoner?" Then she looked at Xiaoyuer and exclaimed in surprise, "It's you? You... you actually conspired with Tie Wushuang to poison the young master?"

Clearly, Lotus also recognized Little Fish.

"What accomplice? He came to investigate who poisoned Que'er." Chu Luren used a more sycophantic term of address when speaking to others.

“But…” Lotus clearly did not want to accept this explanation.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Que'er and see if he believes Xiaoyuer." Chu Luren dismissed Lianhua directly.

Little Fish looked at her back and frowned slightly.

"Brother Chu, I won't go see that kid. I'll go check other clues and see who stole the code I gave to Benniu. Maybe we'll find something. Can you help me find out a few things?" Xiaoyuer said to Chu Luren, pretending to be cunning.

Chu Luren sensed that Hua Wuque was willing to let him have his way, so he agreed first, since Chu Luren also wanted to resolve the matter quickly.
