Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

"Hey!" You Ruo rolled up her sleeves. "Let's have a one-on-one fight. I'm not afraid of you."

"Ahem!" Lin Zhu coughed twice. "Let's postpone the one-on-one fight. I can't expect you to start fighting as soon as I arrive. I'm a little overwhelmed by this welcome ceremony!"

“You Ruo, let it go. Grandma is waiting. Aunt Bei knew your brother was coming, so she prepared a delicious meal.” Zhang San Niang tried to mediate, then grabbed Shen Bi Jun’s hand and said, “Bi Jun, let’s go inside first. Grandma wants to see you.”

After Zhang San Niang spoke, You Ruo stopped making things difficult for Zhao Min.

Huang Rong snorted, grabbed Lin Zhu's hand, and left.

Lin Zhu turned around and looked at Zhao Min, who winked at him playfully. Her bright eyes and white teeth seemed to electrify him.

'Watch how I, this princess, snatch you away!'

Lingjiu Palace is a complex of buildings, four li wide and three li and two li long.

As for female disciples, there are more than nine thousand, all of whom Wu Xingyun has taken in over the past fifty or sixty years.

Among them were abandoned babies, prostitutes, and those who were forcibly taken by evil people.

Wu Xingyun personally accepted only a portion of them; most of them were those she had taken in as disciples, whom she then rescued and adopted.

This snowballing effect resulted in the creation of this massive sect.

Those who remain at Lingjiu Palace are all talented in martial arts.

Many more lacked the talent for martial arts and were placed in cities at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to learn a trade and make a living on their own.

Led by the beauties, Lin Zhu arrived at the very center of Lingjiu Palace.

He could already smell the fragrance.

Wu Xingyun noticed their arrival and said, "Come in quickly, the food won't taste good if it gets cold."

This is a grand hall, but it has been transformed into a restaurant, with an open kitchen covering 100 square meters on the left.

Master Abe and Liu Maoxing are tossing the wok.

When Lin Zhu and the others came in, the last dish had just been finished.

Braised rabbit meat.

Looking at the center of the main hall, there is a huge round table, large enough to seat a dozen or twenty people.

There's a spinning wheel on the table; you can tell at a glance that it's a design from the Mohist school.

"Dinner's ready." Chen Bangling served a bowl of clear stewed snow chicken soup and looked at Lin Zhu. "You must have been freezing on the way here. Drink some more chicken soup to warm yourself up."

“He won’t,” Wu Xingyun said. “You’re cold, but he won’t be. Sit down and eat. We can talk about it after dinner.”

He turned to Shen Bijun and said, "Bijun, sit next to me."

"Yes, Grandma." Shen Bijun didn't feel any awkwardness and naturally sat down next to Wu Xingyun.

Because Huang Rong was holding him tightly, Lin Zhu sat down next to her, with Zhang San Niang on the other side.

There were only two men at this table, Lin Zhu and Liu Maoxing.

Liu Maoxing stood next to his mother and sister, glancing at Lin Zhu from time to time, looking somewhat curious.

When Chen Bangling saw this, her heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself that it would be best to have the Lingjiu Palace disciples take her son out to find ingredients in the next few days, so that he wouldn't have too much contact with Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu didn't care about any of that and, like Wu Xingyun, started eating like crazy.

Although Chen Bangling joined Lingjiu Palace, she didn't cook every day. Instead, she left the recipes behind and trained several disciples of Lingjiu Palace, mainly letting them be the head chefs.

More often than not, even Liu Maoxing would only prepare one or two main dishes.

It was only because Lin Zhu came today that the three of them, mother and sons, prepared this table full of food.

Huang Rong was slacking off today.

But it must be said that she has a real talent for cooking. After only two months of learning from Chen Bangling, her cooking skills are already comparable to Liu Maoxing's.

The integration of spiritual energy into the ingredients was done exceptionally well.

The dinner table was quiet; there was no sound of conversation.

With such delicious food in front of you, who has the mind to talk?

This was Zhao Min's first time eating Chen Bangling's cooking, and she didn't stop eating.

The "Clean Plate Campaign" was completed in less than 15 minutes.

The dishes and chopsticks were naturally washed by the female disciples of Lingjiu Palace.

After the meal, everyone moved to another main hall.

The main hall was very spacious, with no other facilities besides the prayer cushions.

The group inquired about what Lin Zhu and Shen Bijun had experienced during this period.

Then came Wu Xingyun's daily guidance on cultivation techniques, mostly answering questions and resolving doubts.

Time slips away quietly like this.

After dinner, Wu Xingyun said, "The New Year is coming soon. You Ruo has been staying with me for almost half a year. Tomorrow, Xiao Zhu, you should send her back to the World Society so that she can reunite with Xiong Ba and his daughter."

You Ruo said, "Grandma, I'm actually fine staying in Lingjiu Palace." She looked at Lin Zhu as she spoke, clearly not wanting to leave.

Zhao Min whispered, "How foolish. The World Society is more than 8,000 miles away from Lingjiu Palace. It would take three or four days to get there. Wouldn't it be better to spend so many days alone with Lin Zhu?"

Everyone heard what she said.

You Ruo's eyes lit up, and she immediately changed her mind, saying, "Well, actually, it's been a long time since I've gone back to see my father."

"Never mind, I'll go through the trouble of personally taking you back." Wu Xingyun's face was serious, but her eyes were smiling.

"Grandma!" Youruo stepped forward and acted coquettishly.

Huang Rong said, "I think You Ruo can go back on her own, since she's in Tianshan anyway."

Upon hearing this, You Ruo turned to look at Huang Rong, glaring angrily.

Zhao Min: 'Fight! Fight! Fight!'

These days, she has been bullied a lot by Huang Rong and You Ruo working together, it's been really tough for her.

Huang Rong held onto Lin Zhu's hand tightly and even snorted at You Ruo.

"Alright, alright, Grandma doesn't have that much time to take you back, so I'll have Xiaozhu take over. He happens to have mastered the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi and the Three Absolute Techniques of Wind, Cloud, and Frost, so you can ask your father to give him some pointers. What do you think, Xiaozhu?"

Lin Zhu's eyes lit up. "That's good!" she nodded and said.

You Ruo finally smiled broadly.

"Alright, since that's the case, go back and cultivate. Little Bamboo, come with me." Wu Xingyun said, leading Lin Zhu to another palace complex.

This place is quite far from where the women live.

Huang Rong said, "Grandma, we still have rooms here!"

"Hehe!" Wu Xingyun glanced at her and said, "Grandma, I'm worried that someone might sneak into Xiaozhu's bed at night."

Huang Rong blushed deeply at his words, and Zhang San Niang blushed as well.

That's exactly what they think.

Chapter 168 You Ruo: Dad, Xiao Zhu Zi can sleep with me.

Stepping out of the main hall, Wu Xingyun beckoned, and the four sword attendants, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, came over. "Lord!"

Wu Xingyun instructed, "Zhu Jian, take Xiao Zhu Zi to rest. From now on, just call him Young Master. You are in charge of taking care of his daily life at Lingjiu Palace."

Zhu Jian looked at Lin Zhu, delighted, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Master."

The four sword attendants were also very beautiful, only slightly less so than Huang Rong and the others, not to mention they were quadruplets, which gave them an extra advantage.

Unfortunately, it was just Zhu Jian.

"Young master, please follow me." Her voice was soft and weak.

As Mei Jian and the others watched the two depart, a hint of envy crept into their eyes.

"What, you want to come along?" Wu Xingyun said with a smile.

"This servant dares not." Mei Jian, Ju Jian, and Lan Jian hurriedly tried to kneel down, but they couldn't bring themselves to do so.

Wu Xingyun lightly tapped their heads with her finger and said, "Would I eat people? You kneel down all the time. You'll have your turn to serve him in the future."

Having said that, he turned and went into the main hall.

The three women were puzzled, not understanding what their lord was saying.

Then, Wu Xingyun's voice came from beside me, "From now on, you can just call me Grandma. In a while, Grandma will teach you the Lesser Formless Skill."

The three girls' eyes lit up, and they were very happy.

On the other side, Lin Zhu and Zhu Jian walked further and further away.

On the way, Zhu Jian and Lin Zhu gave a detailed introduction to Lingjiu Palace.

Lingjiu Palace has a total of 108 buildings, including main halls, pavilions, and towers, making it quite large in scale.

The main hall where Wu Xingyun and the others lived was called Xiaoyao Hall. It was the largest building in Lingjiu Palace, with more than 30 rooms, each of which was no less than 200 square meters.

Lin Zhu was assigned to the second main hall, the Zizai Hall.

Located on the east side.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Zhu Jian said, "Young master, I'll be waiting in the next room. Please let me know if you need anything."

"Sister Bamboo Sword, please don't use those formal terms, I'll just call you that."

Bamboo Sword hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay!"

Since she wasn't very familiar with Lin Zhu, she didn't dare to get into bed.

Since there were no white rabbits to catch, Lin Zhu spent the whole night cultivating.

Indeed, women are stumbling blocks on the path of cultivation; Lin Zhu's future path of cultivation will likely be very difficult.

At this time, Shen Bijun was arranged to stay in the Xiaoyao Palace. Without Lin Zhu holding her, she was still a little unaccustomed to it and then suffered from insomnia.

The next day, You Ru packed her luggage and skipped out of Lingjiu Palace with Lin Zhu.

Huang Rong was very envious.
