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

The three arrived at the south side of Suzhou and asked Da Tuanzi to bring Xiao Tangyuan to meet them.

Zhang San Niang's eyes lit up when she saw the giant dumpling for the first time. "What a huge iron-eating beast! This must be a little glutinous rice ball. It's so cute!"

The little glutinous rice balls are fluffy and chubby, who wouldn't love them? They're also smart and know how to please people.

Knowing that Zhang San Niang was a close confidante of Lin Zhu, they naturally became affectionate with each other again.

The three of them sat on the back of the giant dumpling, with Lin Zhu still sitting in the middle, emanating a cool aura.

Zhang San Niang sat in front, holding a small glutinous rice ball, while Shang Xiu Fang hugged him from behind, her arms wrapped around his waist.

On hot days, people crave coolness.

Zhang San Niang asked, "Where are we going?"

Lin Zhu said, "Why don't we go to Mount Lu? I've heard the waterfalls there are quite nice."

“I’ve heard about it too,” Shang Xiufang said. “I heard that a poet named Li Bai left a poem there, but I don’t know if it’s really as exaggerated as the Milky Way falling from the heavens to earth.”

The three of them sat on the back of the giant dumpling and headed towards Ganzhou.

Then a voice came from the right side of the official road, "Whether I am exaggerating or not, the three of you will know once you go and see for yourselves."

Lin Zhu stopped the big dumpling and saw a man appear by the roadside. He had striking eyes and a mouth as big as a tiger. He was a dashing and unrestrained swordsman in green robes, half-lying on a tree to cool off.

He asked with some confusion, "Li Bai, Li Taibai?"

Li Bai had just arrived from Ganzhou and was a bit tired, so he lay down on a tree to rest for a while. When he heard Shang Xiufang mention him, he couldn't help but respond.

But he didn't open his eyes.

Upon seeing such a large black and white bear, with three stunningly beautiful women sitting on it, their eyes widened in astonishment.

"What a huge iron-eating beast!" Looking at Lin Zhu, Zhang San Niang, and Shang Xiu Fang, their eyes immediately fell on Lin Zhu, and in an instant, inspiration rushed to them.

She murmured, "The clouds remind me of her clothes, the flowers of her face..."

He recited the poem "Qing Ping Diao" with ease.

The poem was good, but he recited it to Lin Zhu, and although his voice was soft, Zhang San Niang and Shang Xiu Fang could hear it.

Before Lin Zhu could react, Li Bai had already finished reciting the poem.

This made Lin Zhu a little nervous. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sister Yu, Sister Shang, this Brother Taibai is talking about you!"

"No, no!" Li Bai said bluntly, "Both of you ladies are also exceptionally beautiful, but you still pale in comparison to him."

Upon hearing this, Zhang San Niang and Shang Xiu Fang burst into laughter, their laughter shaking with every ripple, which dazzled Li Bai.

But Lin Zhu wasn't in a good mood. This poem didn't mention any beautiful women in a single line, yet every line was filled with images of beautiful women.

But since he was a man, he could only explain, "Brother Taibai, I am a man, not a woman. It's a bit inappropriate for you to say that!"

He didn't get off the big dumpling's back, and Li Bai also stood on the tree at eye level with the three of them.

"Hahaha!" Li Bai laughed three times. "My brother Zimei always says I love to joke, but today I've finally met someone who loves to joke even more than me."

Lin Zhu was somewhat depressed.

Shang Xiufang chuckled and came to his rescue, saying, "Mr. Taibai, my younger brother is indeed a man. You must have heard of his name, Lin Zhu."

Chapter 243 The Overbearing Wu Xingyun

"Lin Zhu?" A thought flashed through Li Bai's mind. "You are Lin Zhu!"

He seemed a little excited and jumped down from the tree. "Is that Lin Zhu, who wrote 'Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River' and 'Prelude to Water Melody'?"

Lin Zhu jumped off the big dumpling's back, "No, it wasn't me, don't talk nonsense." He was unwilling to admit it.

Li Bai, however, was convinced and looked at Shang Xiufang, saying, "I suppose this must be Lady Shang. It's a pity we couldn't meet in Chang'an last year."

Shang Xiufang squatted down slightly and greeted Li Bai. "I have long heard that Mr. Li Bai is the immortal poet. Today I have met him and I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."

"Hahaha!" Hearing Shang Xiufang's praise, Li Bai was not modest, but thinking that he was in front of Lin Zhu, he restrained his unruly side and said, "Compared to Brother Lin Zhu, I am still a bit lacking."

He was now certain that Lin Zhu was a man, but he still felt awkward. No wonder a man who looked like that had women on both sides of him.

As for Li Bai's self-deprecating remark, Lin Zhu felt somewhat ashamed, as he truly dared not admit it!

But he couldn't explain it, and this time he truly understood Su Shi's helplessness.

Su Shi: Bah! It's all your fault! You brought this on yourself!

"Brother Taibai, you are too modest. Your title of 'Poet Immortal' is well-deserved."

Li Bai was pleased to hear this, so he chatted with Lin Zhu and the others for a while longer.

However, since they were just strangers who had met by chance, and Lin Zhu had female relatives with him, he couldn't stay long, so he took his leave first.

"I won't disturb Brother Renqian and the two of you any longer. Farewell."

"Take care, Brother Taibai!" Lin Zhu cupped his hands in farewell.

Before parting, he added a word of advice: "Brother Taibai, Suzhou City may not be peaceful for some time. If things seem to be going badly, it would be best to leave as soon as possible."

Li Bai was taken aback for a moment. He knew Lin Zhu's strength; if even he said he was not calm, then there must be some danger. He then said gratefully, "Thank you for the reminder. I understand now."

Watching Li Bai depart, Lin Zhu sat back down on the big dumpling. Zhang San Niang laughed and said, "Little brother, this time your beauty might become famous throughout the world along with this poem."

Enraged by the teasing, Lin Zhu started tickling Zhang San Niang.

"Hahaha, no, I'm ticklish!" Zhang Sanniang twisted and turned, but Lin Zhu held her firmly in place.

Only now, with the big dumpling already inside the mountains, is her resistance less intense.

Shang Xiufang noticed it and blushed, feeling relieved that she wasn't the one sitting in front of her making fun of Lin Zhu.

"Let go, let go."

"Hmph, I won't let her go." Lin Zhu declared that he wouldn't let Zhang San Niang off so easily.

"Sister Xiufang is still here!" Zhang Sanniang stammered, feeling like she was about to cry.

Lin Zhu was startled and quickly apologized, "Sister Yu, I was wrong."

This decisive act of admitting defeat made Zhang San Niang burst into laughter through her tears. She straightened her skirt and said, "You're such a troublemaker. You must have done a lot of bad things to Sister Xiu Fang."

Lin Zhu didn't answer the question; he felt guilty! Shang Xiufang's face turned even redder.

Just as the three were heading to Ganzhou, another message appeared in the group chat.

Lian Ni Chang: Are you aware of the news circulating in the Western Regions recently?

Wu Xingyun: Just say what you have to say, why keep me in suspense?

Zhao Min: Exactly.

Lian Ni Chang: I just wanted to ask if you guys know about this. It's about a super treasure. Anyone want to join?

Mischievous Little Girl (IP Western Regions): What super treasure?

Lian Ni Chang: You little girl, what are you doing here in the Western Regions? @QuirkyLittleGirl

Mischievous Little Girl (IP Western Regions): I came with my grandpa, and we'll be going back soon. Sister Ni Chang, you still haven't told me what the great treasure is!

Lian Ni Chang: Have you heard of Ying Shuntian? He was the great general who almost unified the Western Regions back then, and was later forced to break through the void and ascend to immortality by the Sword Ancestor.

Lin Zhu became interested and replied to Zhang San Niang's message: Are you talking about the Life and Death Chess Treasure?

Lian Ni Chang: No, how did you know that?

Lin Zhu: I can't tell you about that, but this is indeed a great treasure, and its value is no less than the treasures I obtained before.

Lian Ni Chang: So this is true?

Lin Zhu: It should be, but you've already looked for the conditions to open the treasure and the clues to find it, so it won't be that easy.

Lian Ni Chang: No matter what, I'm going to give it a try.

Feng Si Niang: How about I join you? This Suzhou city is becoming more and more unstable, I'd better leave as soon as possible.

Lin Zhu: Fourth Sister, you can ask me for money!

Feng Si Niang: I don't want money, I want the treasure hunt process.

Lin Zhu: As expected of you.

Wu Xingyun: It seems things are about to get chaotic in the Western Regions again. Do you know where this news came from? @Lian Ni Chang

Lian Ni Chang: I don't know. It's like it appeared out of thin air. Now the Supreme Alliance, the Four Directions City, and the Heavenly Desire Palace are all taking action. It's a bit chaotic.

Lin Zhu: Could it be Tianmen stirring up trouble, trying to throw the Western Regions into chaos? What's their purpose? I have a feeling these people are up to something. By the way, is Yun Zhongjun's name Xu Fu? @Yan Fei

Yanfei: Yes, why are you asking this question?

Lin Zhu: It's nothing, just checking. It seems the master of Tianmen is someone else.

Yanfei: Listen to what you're saying, I have a feeling that something's off about Xu Fu. We'll have someone investigate him.

Lin Zhu: That works too.

Wu Xingyun: It seems I also need to pay more attention to this treasure of life and death chess.

Lin Zhu: That's a good idea. Grandma might even get some extra benefits.

Wu Xingyun: Oh, tell me about it?

Lin Zhu: For example, the Sword Ancestor's martial arts, the Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique, you should want it, Grandma.

Wu Xingyun: Alright, I'll credit you for this for now. In that case, I can also take advantage of the chaos to collect some unique skills to supplement the group's martial arts database. Guan Yutian's innate qi is quite good, as is Ge Shutian's Heavenly Demon Divine Skill, and the martial arts of Ouyang Feiying and Dugu Yifang are also acceptable.

Well, they've caught Wu Xingyun's eye; they're probably not going to get away with this.

Lin Zhu silently mourned for these people for a moment; after all, they weren't exactly good people.

Wu Xingyun: By the way, since Suzhou is not peaceful, Third Sister, you should hurry back to Lingjiu Palace.

Zhang San Niang: Grandma, I want to stay a few more days.

Wu Xingyun: One month. I'll have Xiaozhu bring you over then, and Xiufang, you can come too.

Shang Xiufang: Shall I come too?

Lin Chaoying: Senior, Xiufang is from my ancient tomb.

Wu Xingyun: You have a problem with that? You don't want the Ice Silk Robe anymore? Even you're coming over, and you're bringing Long'er and Mochou along too.
