The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

"Wait! This is a good opportunity..." Chu Luren quickly stopped Yaoyue, who was about to make another move, from a foot away.

Yaoyue looked at him silently, and Chu Luren immediately explained, "This person is obviously closely related to Wei Wuya... cough cough, what I mean is that she is obviously different from ordinary Wuya disciples. She should be able to see Wei Wuya directly. I can hide my identity, pretend to be captured, and lure her to send me to Turtle Mountain!"

"If Wei Wuyuan dares to show himself in front of me, I can capture the leader first. If he imprisons me, I can also rescue Que'er..."

Chu Luren has a significant advantage over Yaoyue: Wei Wuyuan, that madman, will immediately be driven to desperation and will activate the traps at any cost if he sees Yaoyue and Lianxing enter Turtle Mountain.

As for Chu Luren, a grown man, Wei Wuya certainly wouldn't risk everything or fight desperately from the very beginning!

Chapter 975 Psychological Profiling

As evening fell, Chu Luren "quietly" approached the hut, carefully triggering the alarm mechanism to avoid being discovered.

They must be discovered, but they also cannot be underestimated.

Just as Chu Luren was giving Su Ying a chance, lingering on the roof and deliberately not concealing his presence while secretly watching her, Su Ying suddenly stood up...

Chu Luren originally thought that Su Ying would secretly activate the traps that had been set up, so he planned to pretend to be a little weak at that time!

However, Su Ying suddenly stopped humming the tune. Her face first showed a smile, then gradually changed. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn down. She tried desperately to lift them up, but her mouth was smiling while her eyes were crying.

Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore, squatted down, buried her head in her arms, and her shoulders trembled...

Chu Luren: ...

This acting is simply natural.

While cunning schemes are no match for human nature, Su Ying possesses strengths far surpassing cunning and poison!

If Chu Luren were truly a chivalrous knight who secretly infiltrated Turtle Mountain to "act on behalf of Heaven," he would surely feel that this girl was wronged and a victim, and might even be unable to resist going up to comfort her, right?

hum-

Yaoyue seemed to have something she couldn't hold back any longer, and looked like she wanted to step forward and give this little bitch who acted so well an award.

Fortunately, Lianxing stopped her in time: "Sister! Wait a little longer... Chu Lang won't fall for it."

Chu Luren was not going to fall for it, after all, he had deliberately let Su Ying discover him from the very beginning, and there was also a reference to the original work.

However, what Yaoyue was unhappy about wasn't whether Chu Luren would be fooled, but rather that this "fake" cosplaying her had actually gone so far as to criticize her...

Yaoyue and Lianxing looked at Chu Luren, only to see him wink at them from afar.

They were actually quite far apart, and even if Su Ying looked in this direction, she wouldn't be able to spot Yao Yue and Lian Xing. However, Chu Luren knew that they would definitely see his signal.

Yaoyue gave a barely perceptible "humph"...

Then, Chu Luren leaped down from the roof and landed next to Su Ying.

"Are you Wei Wuyuan's disciple? Why are you crying here? Are you mourning your master in advance?" Chu Luren also tried his best to act as "a great hero who came to uphold justice and couldn't help but show up to ask questions after encountering a pitiful little girl."

Chu Luren's acting skills are not very good, but he can easily handle this role. If it were two or three years ago, if he hadn't been able to detect the mechanism with his martial arts skills and didn't know who Su Ying was, Chu Luren would definitely have reacted like this!

Then, by guarding the Mingyu Terrace, any inappropriate reactions can be eliminated naturally.

Su Ying, tears streaming down her face, raised her head, looking at Chu Luren with a pitiful yet stubborn expression, and asked, "You've come to kill that demon?"

"A demon? I think he treats you quite well." Chu Luren said, looking around and pointing out what was suspicious—I'm smart, don't lie to me!

“I have been kept here by that demon since I was a child. He seems to treat me well, and even forbids any of his disciples from getting close to me and personally teaches me mechanical and medical skills... But in reality, he just wants me to be a substitute for the person in his heart, and... and..." Su Ying’s eyes reddened as she spoke.

Unfortunately, instead of Chu Luren's chivalrous advice to stop her, the other party seemed eager to hear what she had to say!

Could this guy be a pervert? — Su Ying thought to herself.

"'Return' what?" Chu Luren asked deliberately.

"What else could a man do to a woman?!" Su Ying feigned embarrassment and anger.

Unconsciously, Su Ying is revising her character.

Judging from her demeanor, she had assumed the newcomer was an experienced but clueless old man from the martial arts world, hence his act of pretending to be a naive and pitiful young girl.

Now, because she suspects him of being a pervert, she has revised her public image—becoming slightly more sassy, ​​but still maintaining a pure and innocent nature...

This allows for easy reversal, and for perverts, being a bit of a jerk is more efficient for communication.

"No way? The girl looks like she's still a virgin and unmarried. As far as I know, Wei Wuya is also crippled in all five limbs..." Chu Luren said with an incredulous expression.

Su Ying: ...

Su Ying hadn't expected this guy to say such a thing... Was he really a righteous person? Could it be that he had misjudged him from the start?

What I didn't expect was that he could even tell that I was a virgin—how did you develop such a skill?

"Sister, Chu Lang must be trying to trick her into revealing information..." Lianxing reassured her, lest her sister suddenly attack.

Inviting the moon remained expressionless.

"Compared to doing that kind of thing, there are always many other things we can do!" Su Ying said through gritted teeth.

However, this emotion was perfectly integrated into the dissatisfaction with Chu Luren's probing questions, and did not seem abrupt.

Chu Luren hadn't expected Su Ying to be so reckless—originally, asking one more question was just to make herself seem naive and easy to fool.

Of course, Su Ying was clearly slandering Wei Wuya in order to gain his trust.

It wasn't that Wei Wuya was particularly noble, but rather that he was training Su Ying as if she were a "figurine" for Yaoyue. He kept her in this beautiful place, forbidding other disciples from disturbing her. Even when she occasionally came into contact with other disciples of Wei Wuya, he made her second only to him and gave her a high status, all in order to cultivate her arrogant and disdainful nature.

Under these circumstances, how could Wei Wuya possibly have done anything indecent to her?

As for the arrogance mixed with cunning...

Chu Luren didn't know whether this was a characteristic that Su Ying herself had retained, or Wei Wuya's imagination, or perhaps... the Yaoyue that Wei Wuya knew was like this?

After all, Wei Wuyuan was crippled by Yaoyue, but that happened before Yaoyue met Jiang Feng.

As for the specifics, Chu Luren planned to inquire about them when Yaoyue was in a good mood...

"Ahem, I misspoke, please don't take offense, young lady... So you're not in cahoots with Wei Wuyuan?" Chu Luren seemed to have already believed it.

"Don't you believe me, hero? Do you want me to show you the evidence?" Su Ying's eyes were filled with resentment, three parts of which was resentment towards Chu Luren, and seven parts of which was self-pity.

"There's no need to rush," Chu Luren quickly refused, but not entirely.

Su Ying: ...

"Oh, I am Zhou Beijun, the Ten Great Martial Saints!" Chu Luren introduced himself.

Su Ying didn't notice anything amiss, nor did she see any guilty conscience in him, but... she really had never heard of this name before!

However, she was not involved in the martial arts world and had only heard of a small group of top figures. Although she felt that the title "Ten Great Martial Saints" was a bit abrupt, she did not have any further doubts.

After all, if someone really wanted to impersonate another person, they wouldn't choose such an arrogant fake nickname, would they?

Especially since Chu Luren was carrying a sword and a saber on his back at this moment, the title of "Ten Great Martial Saints" seemed even more convincing...

He's probably... a guy with decent martial arts skills, but lacking in depth, who's been wandering the martial world for a long time, always feeling frustrated and unfulfilled, and also a bit simple-minded. Perhaps recently, with the Heavenly Gate opening and his martial arts improving, he's become more preoccupied with various things, including a bit more curiosity about the opposite sex. He's planning to take advantage of his adoptive father's provocation of the Yihua Palace to assassinate him, hoping to gain fame throughout the world—this is how Su Ying profiled Chu Luren.

Chapter 976 Falling into the Trap

“Brother Zhou, you'd better not go… That demon is terrifying! Not only is he skilled in mechanical arts and poisons, but he also keeps many strange rats in his lair. He must be confident that he can invite the two palace masters of Yihua Palace to come…”

Su Ying looked at Chu Luren with a face full of worry and conflict, as if to say, "I hope you kill Wei Wuyuan, but I don't want you to take any risks."

The two had already entered the house, and Chu Luren could sense that Yaoyue and Lianxing were on the roof—he couldn't sense Yaoyue, but he could spot Lianxing next to him!

"I will definitely kill Wei Wuyuan and then rescue you, don't worry," Chu Luren reassured him.

Su Ying blushed upon hearing this: "If Brother Zhou wants to save me... then why don't we run away together! To the Central Plains, to the East China Sea, to Guandong... as long as we get far away from Turtle Mountain, that demon and his minions won't be able to find us! And maybe the two palace masters of Yihua Palace can even perish together with that demon..."

Chu Luren felt a chill run down her spine; Yaoyue was probably only "this short" distance away from rushing down.

"Miss Su, don't worry! I've made great progress recently, so you don't need to be too concerned. Just wait until I go in and find that rat, and I'll make him a dead man under my sword!" Chu Luren pretended to be a simpleton.

Seeing this, Su Ying was still very hesitant, but then her expression gradually hardened and she bit her lip, as if she was making up her mind.

"Okay... then I'm willing... to trust Brother Zhou!"

As she spoke, Su Ying turned around and took something out of a cabinet.

"This is a rat repellent I secretly made using the leftover medicinal herbs... Brother Zhou, don't underestimate rats. In Turtle Mountain, there are not only many rats, but some of their enclosures are even layered on top of each other. They are not only fierce, but also have poisonous teeth and claws. If they swarm at you, even a top expert would not be able to handle them."

As Su Ying spoke, she handed a bottle of medicine to Chu Luren.

Chu Luren looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, wondering if he would seem too stupid and arouse suspicion if he opened it and used it directly.

Su Ying then lowered her head and said, "Afterwards... I will pretend to capture you and take you to Turtle Mountain. With me here, you will naturally not have to go through the Rat Prison. But if... if anything happens along the way, remember to sprinkle it on yourself! Do not use it in advance, otherwise the smell will be too strong and you will be discovered by the Toothless Sect!"

It seemed that Su Ying had anticipated that she might be exposed and was preparing to leave a glimmer of hope for "Zhou Beijun".

Chu Luren thought for a moment, and if he really didn't know anything, then what should happen next...?

“Miss Su Ying, you can wait for me here. Since you have this miraculous medicine, you just need to draw a map for me, and I will go there myself!” Chu Luren said passionately.

"No, I..."

Su Ying wanted to say something more, but Zhou Beijun was worried that she would continue to insist, so he sprinkled the powder on himself.

and……

Chu Luren sensitively sensed that some of the ingredients were quickly penetrating his body through his skin, and the medicinal power was constantly surging out!

Moreover, this was clearly not a lethal poison. The medicinal power surged out silently, gradually affecting him—if it weren't for Chu Luren, or even if it were Chu Luren from three years ago, he probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Even if one has already "copied" the Manggu True Qi, they probably still won't be able to withstand the gradual absorption of the medicinal power into their body!

However, the poison was now being suppressed by Chu Luren's body's qi and blood, and then gradually decomposed and expelled with a sweep of true qi...

On the surface, Chu Luren's face stiffened, then he looked at Su Ying in disbelief, trembling as he pointed a finger at her and said, "You, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed onto the chair, as if he had lost consciousness.

Chu Luren praised her acting skills, saying that "Ming Yutai" was able to restrain inappropriate emotional expressions, which was simply flawless!

Logically, Chu Luren didn't think he had any flaws, except...

Su Ying's reaction made Chu Luren somewhat uneasy—Su Ying was standing in front of him, her hair standing on end and her heart racing, clearly... extremely excited?

After drugging himself, he felt extremely excited about it?

Is Su Ying really this kind of character?

Chu Luren felt that something was wrong, and at the same time, he was worried that Yaoyue might suddenly "send justice from the sky".
