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

Consort Yan: Don't worry, I will explain everything to the Emperor.

She couldn't guarantee anything. Nine out of ten officials are corrupt. With such a vast land and property holdings at Shaolin Temple, who could possibly resist?

Liu Ruoxin: Actually, I think Cao Cao could take over. He was the Vice Minister of Revenue, which would be a perfect fit for the job.

Consort Yan: I will make a suggestion to the Emperor.

Xiao Yuanshan was very satisfied with Shaolin Temple's decision, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

No one stopped her. Liu Ruoxin knew that Xiao Yuanshan would admit his debt. If he didn't, given Xiao Feng's personality, it would truly be a case of the son paying for the father's debt.

The Shaolin Temple people dispersed, but they only took away Xuanci's body.

As for Ye Erniang, didn't you see the martial arts community members who were in a state of high spirits?

Prestigious sects like Wudang and Kunlun would never desecrate someone's corpse, but other martial arts practitioners have no such concerns.

In no time, Ye Erniang was gone, even more cleanly than when she was treated with corpse-dissolving powder.

"Amitabha, forgive me!" the sweeping monk murmured a Buddhist chant, then continued sweeping.

Phagpa exclaimed in admiration, "Master, you truly possess remarkable composure and a profound Zen mind!"

The sweeping monk remained silent, continuing to sweep the floor as if he were indifferent to everything.

The same was true of the four great monks in the back mountains. Of course, they were still somewhat angry inside, which just shows that their cultivation was not yet up to par.

The Shaolin Temple closed its gates, and the martial arts practitioners dispersed.

But the situation is still escalating, and even if Shaolin Temple doesn't close for a hundred years, it won't work.

[Ding, event ended, live stream closed. Ning Zhongze, Mu Wanqing, and Zhou Zhiruo were detected being live-streamed; they have received six months' worth of cultivation points as compensation.]

Huang Rong: How could this be?

Mu Wanqing: There's such a good thing.

On the way down Shaoshi Mountain, Zhou Zhiruo's aura surged, rising from the fifth level of the Innate Realm to the sixth level.

Seeing this, Abbess Miejue's frustration was immediately replaced by surprise. "Zhiruo, your skill is amazing."

"Master, I've broken through," Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile.

"Good, good, good!" Master Miejue was overjoyed. "I should take you out more often. When you reach the Grandmaster level, I will pass on the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Sword to you."

By saying this, she has already decided to choose Zhou Zhiruo as the successor of the Emei Zen sect.

Ding Minjun was furious, but her skill level was only comparable to Zhou Zhiruo's, while her understanding of swordsmanship was far inferior.

I just feel that Zhou Zhiruo is too soft-hearted now, and that she can bully her.

She gritted her teeth secretly, plotting something sinister again.

But then a voice came from behind, "Abbess Miejue, please pause for a moment."

The group from Emei turned around and saw that it was Zhang Cuishan and his men who had arrived.

"Zhang Wuxia, what brings you here?"

Zhang Cuishan smiled and said, "Sixth Sister-in-law asked me to give my regards to the nun. It wasn't convenient to greet her when we were at Shaoshi Mountain."

Extinction smiled. "Did Xiaofu say when she would like to go back to Emei for a visit?"

Zhang Cuishan was surprised. Just a moment ago, Abbess Miejue had a sour face. Why was she so kind now?

He observed for a moment and then realized something was wrong: Zhou Zhiruo had actually broken through to the next level!

He suddenly realized and said, "It may take some more time."

Abbess Miejue nodded and looked at Zhang Wuji, "This must be your son. He truly is a tiger father and a dog son!"

Abbess Miejue was somewhat jealous, as Wudang Mountain was known for its many talented individuals.

First came Yun Feiyang, and now Zhang Wuji has emerged; talent keeps emerging.

Unlike their Emei Sect, not a single young person can compare to these two.

"Master, you flatter me. Wuji, come and pay your respects to the Master." Zhang Cuishan called out to Zhang Wuji.

Zhang Wuji stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Abbess."

"Not bad, not bad." Abbess Miejue nodded. "I heard Wuji and Xiaoci are engaged?"

“Yes!” Zhang Cuishan nodded with a smile when this was mentioned.

Yin Ci, the daughter of Yin Liting, has lived in Wudang since childhood and is Zhang Wuji's constant follower.

The two had a good relationship, and after their families discussed it, they helped arrange the marriage.

Zhang Wuji was a rather obedient person and naturally obeyed his parents' wishes.

At this moment, when he saw Zhou Zhiruo, he simply nodded in a friendly manner, without much emotion in his heart.

Zhou Zhiruo returned the greeting with a nod, and then she and a group of Emei disciples met Zhang Cuishan. The two groups traveled together and left together.

On the other side, Ning Zhongze's aura also surged, her skill level increasing.

Yue Buqun was puzzled. He had been cultivating diligently for more than ten years, practicing the Zixia Skill, and was finally able to unleash his full potential. How could his wife have caught up with him?

However, he was still happy after all, because the stronger Ning Zhongze was, the stronger Donghua Peak was.

Unfortunately, Donghua Peak still came in last place in the last competition. He turned to look at Linghu Chong and was furious.

I couldn't resist and patted him on the head.

"Master, why did you hit me?" Linghu Chong asked, puzzled.

"Go back to the Cliff of Repentance and go into seclusion. Don't come out until you reach the seventh level of the Innate Realm. I will have your third junior brother bring you food."

Yue Buqun still had high hopes for this eldest disciple.

"No, Master!"

Linghu Chong wailed, and Yue Buqun's gaze turned cold. "Look at Ya Nan, and then look at that Lord Liu from the Western Depot. He's younger than you, but he's already a Grandmaster. How can you still have the nerve to say that?"

Linghu Chong muttered under his breath, "That Xiao Feng is a Grandmaster, why don't you compare me to him?"

"What did you say?" Linghu Chong mumbled indistinctly, and Yue Buqun didn't hear him clearly.

"No, no master. I'll go into seclusion as soon as I get back." Linghu Chong groaned inwardly. Now, he wouldn't be able to drink for at least half a year.

Huashan and the Quanzhen Sect traveled the same route, and the two groups left together.

On the mountaintop in front of the ancient tomb, Little Dragon Girl was asleep, nestled against Lin Zhu, looking very peaceful.

This is a mini Wang Yuyan.

The little dumpling she was holding was also fast asleep. It had been three months, but it hadn't grown at all, and she didn't know why.

However, its appetite has been growing, and the big dumpling has been going into the mountains to eat more and more frequently lately.

Seeing the live stream shut down, Li Mochou said indignantly, "The Shaolin Temple got off easy, but Xiao Yuanshan is a real man."

Lin Chaoying nodded. "That Xiao Feng is not bad."

"Indeed, it is a display of heroic spirit." Shang Xiufang nodded and said, "It's a pity that he is no longer a member of my Great Zhou."

Lin Zhu sighed and said, "Yes, it's a pity." He didn't know if Xiao Feng would still be willing to go to great lengths for him like before.

It would be a pity if such a fine young man were to die.

Chapter 189 Rectifying the Chaos

With the events at Shaolin Temple over, the imperial examinations in the capital began one after another.

Previously, the most significant event was the birth of Cao Cao's youngest son, who possessed innate literary talent and was accepted as a disciple by Xunzi of the Jixia Academy.

This pleased Cao Cao greatly, and he then went to the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) to visit Yan Ying and tell her about it.

Unfortunately, Yan Ying had no interest in him, mainly because Cao Cao's official rank was not high, he did not have a noble title, and his son was only taken in by Xun Kuang.

Moreover, she knew that Lin Zhu was the one who recited the poem "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River".

This goes back to when Li Xiuning arrived in Taiyuan. She copied out the "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River," added Cao Zhi's name to it, and it circulated widely.

As expected, Cao Zhi gained an advantage in literary talent.

Upon discovering this, Xun Kuang, who was far away at the Jixia Academy, immediately came to the capital and took Cao Zhi away.

As for the matter of literary talent, he couldn't understand why either.

Who could have impersonated Cao Zhi to write this timeless poem? If it was a prank, the consequences would be dire.

Su Shi rushed over that day and told Xun Kuang about the matter, saying that he had suffered a great injustice and was in great pain.

As a sage who succeeded the Second Sage, Xun Kuang could only attribute it to the laws governing the operation of Heaven.

Then, they examined Su Shi's heart to prove to the scholars that what he said was true.

Otherwise, given Su Shi's current reputation, he would face prejudice from the examiners during the major examination.

It was only then that people realized that, like the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River, "Prelude to Water Melody" was written by a man named Lin Zhu.

Xun Kuang expressed his desire to meet this great talent.

At that time, Lin Zhu had already arrived at the ancient tomb and learned all this from Shangguan Haitang, which made him somewhat alarmed.

There are some things we just shouldn't do!

That's why I stayed in the ancient tomb obediently for more than a month.

On the one hand, he was practicing martial arts in seclusion, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the hype to die down.

But the hype couldn't die down so quickly, and eventually it reached the ears of a tourist in Sichuan.

"Is that even possible? I'd like to try it."

The man was dressed in a blue robe, with a sword at his waist and a gourd for holding wine on his back.

Looking at Mount Emei ahead, he recited: "The moon over Mount Emei is half-full in autumn, its reflection flows in the Pingqiang River. I set off from Qingxi at night towards the Three Gorges, longing for you but unable to see you as I descend to Yuzhou. I am Du Fu of Xiangyang City, Du Zimei, and I dedicate this poem to you all of Mount Emei."

Having said that, he drew a three-foot-long sword from his waist and carved the poem on the cliff face of a mountain in Emei.

Immediately afterwards, stepping on a blue lotus, she drifted away.

After a long while, a Taoist priest came down from the main peak of Emei Mountain, saw the poem, and also saw the sword intent contained in the poem.
