The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

"Of course, we should break his arms and legs and throw him here!" Qiu Qianchi said through gritted teeth, while secretly glancing at the jujube tree next to him.

“Mom…” Gongsun Lü’e was still a little reluctant to leave.

"What? Are you still going to plead for that beast?" Qiu Qianchi said angrily, then seemed to think of something and shouted, "Come here!"

Gongsun Lü'e was obedient; she stood further away when told to, and moved closer when told to.

Chu Luren had been keeping an eye on her. In fact, Qiu Qianchi was no longer able to hurt people with her hands and feet. Not only were her tendons and ligaments damaged, but her meridians in her limbs had also long been destroyed.

When crawling, the reason why it is fast is because the elbows and knees exert force when they hit the ground.

The only thing to be careful of is the date pit in her mouth...

Although she kept talking, she actually had a date pit hidden in her mouth!

Because of her filial piety, Gongsun Lü'e was not too afraid of her mother, who was like Fei Liuhu. However, when she got closer, Qiu Qianchi suddenly grabbed her and rolled up her sleeve.

"Mom..." Gongsun Lü'e exclaimed in surprise.

Qiu Qianchi suddenly ignored Gongsun Lüe's flushed face, leaned closer to look at the virginity mark on her arm, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that old beast didn't do anything to you."

Gongsun Lü'e's face turned pale upon hearing this. Her mother had already embarrassed her enough by showing her virginity mark in front of her eldest brother, the Ten Absolutes, without saying a word.

I can't believe they actually said something like that...

Two days ago, Gongsun Lü'e would have thought that her mother had been suffering alone for too long and had such delusions. However, now, when Gongsun Lü'e thought of her father's strange behavior before, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Seeing Gongsun Lü'e's predicament, Chu Luren immediately used his palm to push away Qiu Qianchi's already weak hand, then pulled Gongsun Lü'e behind him and said, "Old woman! Speak properly, don't lay a hand on me! Gongsun Zhi owes you, but we don't!"

"You!" Qiu Qianchi was even more indignant upon seeing this—this brat knew her identity, yet he still dared to be so rude?

“Brother Shi Jue…” Gongsun Lü’e tugged at Chu Luren’s sleeve slightly to offer her advice.

Seeing her daughter's behavior, Qiu Qianchi felt both helpless and worried. Her mood was a mix of relief and extreme vigilance, like a pie chart.

"E'er, what is your relationship with this boy?" Qiu Qianchi asked in a deep voice.

“Brother Shi Jue…I haven’t known him for long. My daughter accidentally fell off a cliff before, and it was Brother Shi Jue who saved her,” Gongsun Lü’e said truthfully.

"You haven't known each other for long?" Qiu Qianchi stared at Gongsun Lü'e.

As for why he didn't stare at Chu Luren? Staring at him wouldn't have made a difference; what could he possibly see with his face covered in bandages?

Gongsun Lü'e felt a little guilty—indeed, they had only known each other for a short time, but they had been in contact three days ago, and she had even given her a basket of fruit.

"You've only known each other for a short time, how could he be so protective of you?" Qiu Qianchi asked in disbelief.

"I have many people I'm protecting," Chu Luren added.

"What...what exactly are you doing here?" Qiu Qianchi was furious—did you just come here to anger me to death?

"I came here because of the matter of the Mongol Yuan and Wu Sangui colluding with Gongsun Zhi. As for coming down here... it was just an accident! Madam Qiu, do you think that if you go back and capture Gongsun Zhi, will the disciples in the Valley of Heartbreak obey your orders?" Chu Luren asked directly about the important matter.

Qiu Qianchi didn't care about the Mongol Yuan dynasty or Wu Sangui, and she might not even know that the Former Song dynasty had already fallen.

However, when it came to getting revenge on Gongsun Zhi, she perked up: "Fan Yiweng, Fan Yihang, Lü Yisong... weren't they all trained by me? If we can get out of here, what is that old beast Gongsun Zhi!"

She had no doubt that Chu Luren was able to get out.

With her martial arts skills, if her hands and feet hadn't been broken, she would have been confident of getting out or going up, let alone this strange person who was far superior to her!

Chu Luren didn't answer, but continued to look at Qiu Qianchi—you are a senior, but I am not a newcomer to the martial world either. We are both seasoned foxes. What are you trying to do, spouting nonsense? You think you can dismiss this great sage...this martial saint with just empty words?

Qiu Qianchi saw through Chu Luren's meaning and cursed the young people of today for not respecting their elders. He said in a deep voice, "Hmph, since you and E'er have feelings for each other, as long as you don't let E'er down in the future, won't this Valley of Heartbreak be yours?"

Chu Luren: ? ? ?

Are you crazy? Someone asked about the earth, and you answered with "the sky!"

Chu Luren remained silent, but Gongsun Lü'e couldn't help but say, "Mother! Brother Shijue and I... we're not in that kind of relationship!"

I don't know why, but after she said it, I felt empty inside.

Seeing her daughter's reaction, Qiu Qianchi understood perfectly. She said hatefully, "Fine! So you're another heartless and unfaithful man! Forget about it, I'll make sure you beasts have a good time even if I die!"

Chu Luren: ? ? ?

"What a joke! When has the Ten Absolute Martial Saint ever been unfaithful? Three months ago, I was chatting and laughing with Palace Master Yaoyue. When it comes to punishing scumbags, she is far superior to you!" Chu Luren retorted disdainfully.

Well, when Qiu Qianchi was trapped, Jiang Feng had only recently died, and even before that, the twenty-year-old Yaoyue Lianxing was already a formidable female demon...

Although there was no heartbreak back then, and it wasn't known for punishing scumbags, Yihua Palace has always been known for its cold-bloodedness.

Xiuyu Valley is located in the Yazhou area. It's not exactly a neighbor of the Iron Palm Clan, but it's not far either. Qiu Qianchi naturally knows what kind of person Yaoyue is.

When Qiu Qianchi heard Chu Luren say this, she was speechless for a moment. If he hadn't demonstrated his high level of martial arts skills, she might have thought he was just bragging. But now that Chu Luren said it, she believed him completely.

"You...you call yourself the Ten Great Martial Saints? Does such a nickname even exist in the martial arts world? What is your family name? Why don't you tell me?" Qiu Qianchi questioned from a different angle.

Gongsun Lü'e used to call him "Big Brother of the Ten Absolutes," which puzzled Qiu Qianchi. What kind of surname was that? Now that the Chu Lu people were calling him "Martial Saint of the Ten Absolutes," Qiu Qianchi could naturally tell that it was a nickname, and... it was very likely a fake nickname!

"Chu Luren!" Chu Luren announced his name directly.

"Ah!" Gongsun Lü'e exclaimed in surprise. Qiu Qianchi asked upon hearing this, "What's wrong?"

"So... Brother Shi Jue is the second-ranked hero Chu...?" Gongsun Lü'e hadn't seen much of the world and had never traveled the martial arts world, but she had occasionally seen the list of chivalrous heroes brought back by her senior brothers.

"Second on the Heavenly Ranking?" Qiu Qianchi looked at Chu Luren with a puzzled expression. "Before you were disfigured, you were quite handsome?"

In her memory, the chivalry list was still the one with Duan Zhengchun at number eight and Jiang Feng at number seven...

Chapter 911 Subtle

"Mom!" Gongsun Lü'e interrupted her mother for the first time with a somewhat harsh tone.

Although Qiu Qianchi had been quite harsh on her daughter and had a poor image, Gongsun Lü'e, having lost her mother's love for a long time, always treated her mother with great respect and was filled with filial piety.

But now that Qiu Qianchi is reopening old wounds for the eldest brother of the Ten Greats, Gongsun Lü'e can't help but feel a little angry.

"I'm not disfigured anymore, I've almost fully recovered," Chu Luren explained, still unconvinced.

Seeing that her daughter was siding with outsiders, Qiu Qianchi couldn't help but sigh in her heart—this daughter was completely different from her own back then!

Not only is he useless, but he's also incredibly timid and subservient...

Whether they had just met or not, Qiu Qianchi didn't know, but how could she not see that her daughter had feelings for Chu Luren?

She inwardly resented her daughter's incompetence, yet felt helpless—after all, even with her limbs intact, Chu Luren's martial arts skills were far inferior.

"What thoughts could an old woman like me have after I've taken my revenge? And won't you stand up for E'er then? If you don't trust this old woman, you should at least trust E'er, right?" Qiu Qianchi said in a low voice, slightly showing weakness.

Chu Luren was taken aback upon hearing this—insisting on Gongsun Lü'e as the valley master? That does seem like a possibility…

"Brother Shijue, please save my mother." Gongsun Lü'e pleaded, and thinking of what her mother had said, and the emptiness she felt after denying any connection with Chu Luren, she added as if possessed, "I will definitely listen to Brother Shijue from now on."

Chu Luren: ? ? ?

Sensing Chu Luren's surprise, Gongsun Lü'e blushed and said embarrassedly, "I was referring to the Valley of Heartbreak!"

That's not important, it's just...

Chu Luren had just seen "light" in Gongsun Lü'e's eyes—the kind that is called "liking".

However, how long have they known each other? This seems to be the first time someone has fallen in love with him at first sight.

Yes, Gongsun Lü'e was indeed like Xiaolongnu, she hadn't seen many men—not that Gongsun Lü'e had never seen any, but only the people in the valley.

It seems that she fell in love with Yang Guo at a similar speed in the original work.

only……

Chu Luren also saw his own reflection in Gongsun Lü'e's eyes.

This left Chu Luren somewhat at a loss for words!

Generally speaking, "love at first sight" is mainly based on looks, right?

Why is it that the first time someone falls in love with you at first sight, it's when you can't even see their face?

Chu Luren fell into deep thought.

However, Chu Luren's silence made Gongsun Lü'e think more, and her face turned pale. She thought that "Brother Shi Jue" was the second on the Heavenly Ranking and had come to Jueqing Valley to "punish Gongsun Zhi". How could he be interested in someone as plain as her and Gongsun Zhi's daughter?

I'm afraid what I just said will only put Brother Shijue in a difficult position...

Noticing that Gongsun Lü'e was in a bad mood, Chu Luren quickly said, "Miss Gongsun, there's no need for this. Jueqing Valley can join our Righteous Alliance! Do you know the Righteous Alliance? Yihua Palace, Sun Moon Divine Sect, Xingxiu Sect, Ming Cult, Lingjiu Palace... and nearly two hundred sects from all over the world are all members of our alliance!"

Gongsun Lü'e only recognized a few of them, shook her head, but said, "I didn't pay much attention to outside affairs before, but... since Brother Shi Jue wants me to join, then I'll join!"

Qiu Qianchi: ? ? ?

What exactly happened in the past ten years? What is the Righteous Alliance? Qiu Qianchi knew most of the names Chu Luren mentioned—even Lingjiu Palace, Qiu Qianchi had only heard of because the Iron Palm Clan had a connection with the One-Word Wisdom Sword Sect!

Other sects such as Xiuyu Valley, Yihua Palace, and the two major demonic sects in the east and west... aren't they all powerful entities that make people tremble at the mere mention of their names?

They actually formed an alliance? And... why is it called the Righteous Alliance?

What exactly happened in the past ten years or so? Qiu Qianchi fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Gongsun Lü'e suddenly remembered something and asked uncertainly, "Is Brother Shi Jue the leader of the alliance? Ah... can I... continue to call you Brother Shi Jue?" She blushed as she said the last part.

Gongsun Lü'e only vaguely remembered that Chu Tai... the great hero seemed to be the leader of the Righteous Alliance.

“That’s right, I will be the leader of the Righteous Alliance. As for how you address me, you can do whatever you like, or you can keep it. It just so happens that more people are calling me Brother Chu these days,” Chu Luren said modestly.

Gongsun Lü'e's expression darkened at first, then she said with some anticipation, "Then, then am I the only one who calls you Brother Shi Jue?"

"Well... let's just say that. Guo Juxia's youngest daughter also likes to call me 'Brother Jue'," Chu Luren said after thinking for a moment.

Gongsun Lü'e: ...

Chu Luren glanced at Qiu Qianchi with a puzzled look—what was that old thing grinding his teeth for again?

"Ahem, after that... I'll call you Gongsun... um... Lü'e... uh... Sister E! Once this matter is settled and the Valley of Heartbreak has calmed down, I can take you around."

Chu Luren initially wanted to address Gongsun Valley Master or Gongsun Sister, but then he thought that Gongsun Zhi was no good person, and Qiu Qianchi would get angry at the mere mention of that surname. As for addressing Lü'e... Chu Luren's mind kept conjuring up the group of "green crocodiles" outside, so he settled for second best.

"Yes." Gongsun Lü'e nodded with a happy expression.

Chu Luren only wanted to take Gongsun Lü'e out for a walk in the future—after all, she had never seen a man before!

Moreover, unlike Xiaolongnu, Chu Luren and "Long'er" had a deep connection through dual cultivation.

Chu Luren felt that as long as Gongsun Lü'e broadened her horizons, this "love at first sight" would naturally be nothing special.

"Then when do you plan to rescue the old man?" Qiu Qianchi interrupted coldly.
