The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

"Ah! I... I just came to take a look." Guo Xiang was startled when the other person blew her hat off with a palm strike.

However, upon discovering that it was just a young girl, the people of the Mu Prince's Mansion relaxed their guard, and even Wu Lishen became somewhat embarrassed...

Chapter 896 Fake Passerby

"Ah! I... I just came to take a look," Guo Xiang said softly and weakly.

Firstly, I was genuinely scared, and secondly, I was deliberately trying to appear weak.

Seeing that it was a young girl, the people from the Mu Prince's residence breathed a sigh of relief, and indeed, they were too embarrassed to be too fierce...

"Who is this young lady? Why are you following us?" Mu Jiansheng asked.

"My surname is Guo. I am... I heard you talking in the tavern that you were going to see Alliance Leader Chu, so I..." Guo Xiang pretended to be embarrassed.

The people from the Mu family were speechless when they saw Guo Xiang's admiring expression.

Of course, Guo Xiang's admiration at this time was half genuine and half fake; in fact, she wanted to meet the Chu Lu people and witness it with her own eyes.

Behind Mu Jiansheng, a young man said, "That Chu Taisui is the most despicable, shameless, vulgar, and obscene! Miss, you'd better go back quickly, otherwise, if that scoundrel goes berserk, things could get really bad!"

"So scary? Will the heroes of the Mu family protect this weak woman?" Guo Xiang asked, blinking her big eyes.

The young man paused upon hearing this, and at the same time, Liu Dahong raised his hand to stop him: "Yizhou, you step back... Since Miss Guo insists on watching this excitement, then she can come with us, but remember not to say anything out of line."

It's unclear whether he meant not to speak carelessly when meeting Chu Luren, or not to speak carelessly afterward.

"Master..." Mu Jiansheng called out softly, a little worried.

“Young Master, this woman’s identity is unknown. Releasing her rashly might fall into someone’s trap. Let’s take her with us first, and then explain things to her family. They will understand and won’t say anything wrong.” Liu Dahong explained to Mu Jiansheng in a low voice.

Mu Jiansheng had been apprenticed to Liu Dahong since childhood, but Liu Dahong always regarded himself as a retainer of the Mu family and never put on airs as a master.

Liu Dahong also saw that Guo Xiang's skills were quite good for a young person, and very solid, indicating that she must have a family background in martial arts.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiansheng nodded, understanding his master's meaning.

Guo Xiang was also curious as to why the people from the Mu family were behaving this way, so she asked Liu Yizhou, who didn't seem very bright and had been looking indignant earlier, "What is your surname, brother?"

Seeing that the young girl was adorable, and although she was young and blinded by worshipping some Chu Taisui, Liu Yizhou thought it was still salvageable. He said in a slightly better tone, "My surname is Liu."

"Brother Liu, what grudge do you have against Chu Taisui? Why do you say he's vulgar and shameless?" Guo Xiang asked innocently.

"We...you'll find out later!" Liu Yizhou refused to say.

"How did the heroes of the Mu family know that Chu Tai Sui had done something despicable and shameless?" Guo Xiang changed her question.

“We don’t know if he did it or not… no, I mean… anyway, a reliable friend told us!” Liu Yizhou’s words were somewhat hesitant.

"So, your meeting with Chu Taisui today wasn't arranged by that friend, was it?" Guo Xiang asked suspiciously.

"Of course not! We also saw Chu Tai Sui's bird..."

"Aren't there many similar birds?"

"The bird of Chu Tai Sui..."

"Yizhou!" Liu Dahong glared at him, telling him to shut up.

Guo Xiang also realized that these people had never actually seen Chu Tai Sui... or at least hadn't seen him do anything wrong; they had only heard about it from their "reliable friends."

Before long, the group arrived at a small pond in the woods. Wu Li, the Lion Shaker, impatiently asked, "Hasn't that guy surnamed Chu arrived yet?"

Just then, we heard...

Tick-tock—tick-tock—tick-tick-tick-tick—

A high-pitched and melodious suona sound rang out, and Chu Luren, who had been quietly following behind them, was also full of questions!

Unbelievable! Someone is imitating my bird, and someone else is imitating my suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).

Chu Luren had heard Guo Xiang's doubts several times before, but apart from "the Mu family are all fools", he hadn't gleaned any other information. Hearing the suona sound now, he was even more astonished.

That suona playing...

Although it lacks the charm of Chu Luren, it does indeed possess superb sonic skills.

With Chu Luren's martial arts and musical skills, he could naturally tell that the most suitable instrument for the opponent's musical skills was not the suona. He usually excelled with the suona, so using the suona to perform musical skills at this time would be quite limiting.

However, for the people of the Mu family, this question was clearly beyond their comprehension. Just this one suona tune was enough to make them stagger.

"Hey, you surnamed Chu! Have the guts to step forward..."

"Chu Taisui, it really is you! If we don't get back today, someone will expose your deeds to the world!"

"Despicable scoundrel! What kind of skill is it to harm people in secret?"

The people from the Mu family shouted and cursed, but Chu Luren could hear them despite the interference of sound effects, while they themselves could not.

At the same time, after concentrating for a moment, Chu Luren had also locked onto the opponent's location.

This sonic technique is very clever. Initially, Chu Luren discovered eight targets on Mingyu Platform, but it took him a while to eliminate seven of them as false targets.

However, Chu Luren held back a little—if the other party only wanted to silence him, there was no need to use the suona to play tricks; they must have had a backup plan!

If the Mu family still has Guo Xiang, and things really come to a head, the Chu Lu people will also take action themselves.

Sure enough, at that moment, the suona music stopped, and a loud laugh that sounded only five or six parts like his own came from afar. A figure in gray flew across the sky and landed on a treetop in front of the Mu family group, standing with his back to them.

"Hahaha... I was merely playing a tune for you all, but it seems the heroes of the Mu Manor are not worthy of our alliance's good intentions!" the fake passerby mocked.

From the sound attack just now, Chu Luren vaguely judged that the opponent's level was very high, but not as high as his own. Even if he could only exert 70 or 80% of his strength now, he should still have a 70 or 80% chance of winning against this person.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party doesn't have any other amazing skills, doesn't reveal any external martial arts prowess, and doesn't exceed her internal strength by much...

Yes, Chu Luren has also discovered that this fellow is a woman!

At this moment, the woman was dressed as a man, slightly altered her voice, and put on makeup—she didn't even use a human skin mask. If it were someone she knew well, they should have already realized she was a fake.

Unfortunately, none of the people in the Mu family were familiar with him. Given the previous groundwork, they were certain that this person was Chu Luren.

"I heard that my younger sister has been taken care of by Alliance Leader Chu. I wonder where she is now?" Mu Jiansheng stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and asked in an unfriendly tone.

"Princess Mu? Of course, she's taken very good care of us. Our alliance has always been kind and gentle to princesses, making them very happy. Young Master Mu, you don't need to worry. In the future, we'll be family." The fake passerby said very insincerely.

The people of Prince Mu's Mansion: !!!

Chu Luren: ? ? ?

What nonsense is this guy spouting? Seriously, you idiots, you just believe that?

Chapter 897 I Will Remember You

Chu Luren then understood why the people from the Mu family were so angry; he never imagined that someone would tarnish his reputation like this.

At the same time, Chu Luren secretly resented the Mu Wangfu—how could you not see through such a lie, considering how upright and honorable I, Chu Luren, am?

When did I ever... cough.

"Shameless! I never imagined that Alliance Leader Chu would be such a despicable and vile person!"

"From now on, the Anti-Traitor Alliance will be irreconcilably opposed to your Righteous Alliance!"

"Damn it... What about my junior sister's?" Liu Yizhou asked anxiously.

Clearly, more than one person has gone missing.

Although Liu Yizhou had personal matters to attend to, which made Liu Dahong frown inwardly, there was a reason for it after all, and he also cared about his disciple, so he did not reprimand him.

"Your junior sister? That maid surnamed Fang who came with you as part of your dowry?" the fake passerby asked, his tone speculative.

"Aaaaah! You, you deserve to die!" Liu Yizhou drew his sword in a fit of rage.

But just then, two "caw caws" were heard, and a red bird flashed by, pecking Liu Yizhou's sword in half on the spot. If Liu Dahong hadn't intervened, pressing the back of his hand against the red bird and knocking it away, Liu Yizhou's eyes would probably have been ripped off!

Liu Dahong showed no mercy, simply because the red bird was slippery, and took the opportunity to retreat, flying back to the fake passerby's shoulder.

quack--

It even barked twice more, showing off its power.

Chu Luren quickly restrained Xiao Hong, who was about to go berserk...

Unexpectedly, the other party also has a bird? I wonder if it's really the same kind as Little Red, as their calls are actually somewhat different, but the people from the Mu Prince's Mansion obviously don't have time to distinguish them.

"Hmph, are the dogs of the Mu Prince's mansion so unruly? They're barking and biting before their master has even spoken?" the fake passerby sneered.

"Junior Brother Liu is my good brother, Mu Jiansheng. Don't judge others by your own standards, Chu Taisui!" Mu Jiansheng said angrily.

At the same time, the "experts" of the Mu Prince's Mansion, led by Wu Lishen, also took their stances, seemingly ready to swarm forward.

"Our alliance only made an exception to allow the young princess and the girl surnamed Fang to come along after their sweet and pleading requests. We hope the young master will not be ungrateful!" The fake passerby said arrogantly.

Mu Jiansheng barely managed to keep his composure and asked, "I wonder what Alliance Leader Chu intends to do?"

"Since you've come to the Mu family, you must be after the Qing dynasty and the restoration of the Han dynasty," the fake passerby said purposefully.

"So, Alliance Leader Chu's ambitions are so great? The people of the martial world have underestimated you!" Liu Dahong couldn't help but mock.

"Hahaha, you are all blinded by a leaf and cannot see Mount Tai. It is easy to talk about overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Han. Isn't there a Han Chinese in the Qing court who has endured humiliation and hardship, holds an important position, and even has military power?" the fake passerby laughed loudly.

"Han Chinese? You...you...I never imagined that someone of your stature would side with that traitor Wu Sangui?" Mu Jiansheng exclaimed in shock and anger.

At this moment, Chu Luren was unsure whether this imposter was truly Wu Sangui's man or simply trying to frame him.

"Is this lady really Chu Taisui? I've heard that Chu Taisui once kidnapped Wu Sangui's wife and ruined Wu Sangui's plans. How could she help Wu Sangui?" Guo Xiang somehow realized the other person's gender.

"Hmph, what did you call me, little girl?" the fake passerby said angrily.

Seeing that the other party had pulled out a suona again, and at the same time the red bird took flight, Chu Luren no longer hesitated and released Little Red...

The fake passerby started playing the suona, but after only two notes, it was immediately interrupted by another suona!

The people of the Mu family first had a headache from the fake passerby's suona playing, but then another suona melody broke in, clearing their minds and even giving them a faint sense of encouragement.

at the same time……

cuckoo-

Another red bird then appeared, chasing after the counterfeit goods and pecking at them!

At first, the fake little red bird tried to fight back, but after the two birds crossed paths in the air a few times, the fake little red bird cried out in pain and at the same time shed some bloody, red-tipped, black-based feathers.

So the scene became Little Red chasing after the other and pecking at it!
