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

Therefore, Shang Xiufang is not short of money.

Lin Zhu and Zhang San Niang did not disturb her.

Then Yue Shan arrived first.

Upon seeing Yue Shan arrive, Shang Xiufang immediately went out to greet him, saying, "Greetings, Grandfather! Grandfather is in good health!"

Upon seeing his granddaughter, to whom he had no blood relation, Yue Shan felt a mix of emotions. "Xiufang, tell me, where have you been for the past six months?"

Shang Xiufang recounted her experience in the ancient tomb to Yue Shan.

Lin Zhu and Zhang San Niang also came down to meet Yue Shan.

Yue Shan said, "I never expected that there would be such a master in Zhongnan Mountain besides Wang Chongyang. If I have the chance, I will definitely go and learn from him. It's a pity that Song Que broke his promise and didn't show up for the duel he agreed to."

Shang Xiufang said, "Uncle Song has his reasons, as I told you!" As she spoke, she poured Yue Shan a cup of tea.

"Heh! Just an excuse." Yue Shan was still somewhat indignant. "Back then, when I faced him, I was just as shaken. Why didn't he mention that? Never mind, let's not talk about it."

He turned to look at Lin Zhu, having already learned from Shang Xiufang that he was a man and also knew his current strength. "Young Brother Lin, you are already at the pinnacle at such a young age. Your future in martial arts is limitless!"

"You flatter me, senior." Lin Zhu said modestly, "This is a gift from a junior to you, and it is said to enhance one's martial arts skills."

A jade box was presented to Yue Shan. It was open, and inside lay three blood bodhi beads, emitting a faint red light.

A thought flashed through Yue Shan's mind: "Is this the Blood Bodhi?"

Lin Zhu nodded in agreement, "It is indeed the Blood Bodhi."

Yue Shan looked at Lin Zhu, then at Shang Xiufang and Zhang Sanniang, and he could easily understand the meaning behind Lin Zhu's gift.

But seeing Shang Xiufang's expression, he knew he couldn't stop her, and that excessive interference would easily turn into enmity. After thinking for a moment, he put the jade box away.

Then he said, "I've taken the things, but if I ever find out that you've treated Xiufang badly, I'll risk my old life to get an explanation from you."

Lin Zhu was actually a little embarrassed and said to Yue Shan, "This junior wouldn't dare!"

"Alright, then I won't bother you three young people any longer." Yue Shan got up and was about to leave.

Two stunningly beautiful women appeared at the door. "Third Sister, Little Bamboo, we're here."

The two groups met at the door.

Yue Shan glanced at Lin Zhu instinctively, his gaze sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to slash him. But then he thought, what if he had misunderstood? So he just stared at him.

Lin Zhu felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

Upon seeing Yue Shan, Liu Ruoxin clasped her hands and said, "Liu Ruoxin from the Western Depot greets Senior Ba Dao."

"Oh, someone from the Western Depot? You know me?" Yue Shan was surprised, not expecting Lin Zhu to have connections with people in the imperial court.

"I've heard my godfather mention you. You're one of the top swordsmen in the world." Liu Ruoxin still knew how to say nice things.

Yue Shan nodded and asked directly, "What is your relationship with Lin Zhu?"

Liu Ruoxin blushed. She really didn't know how to answer such a question right off the bat!

There was no need for an answer; Yue Shan knew everything just from Liu Ruoxin's face.

Looking at the other one, Mu Wanqing didn't dare to meet Lin Zhu's eyes at all. 'No, I absolutely won't look at him again.'

Yue Shanren was a shrewd old man who realized that this was the first time Mu Wanqing had met Lin Zhu.

After examining Lin Zhu's appearance again, I felt he looked very Gan!

A surge of anger welled up inside him, but seeing that Shang Xiufang's expression remained unchanged, and that she occasionally glanced at Mu Wanqing with a hint of amusement in her eyes, he knew that nothing he said would make a difference.

He could only sigh helplessly, "Never mind, I'll be going now."

"Take care, senior!" Lin Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, not because he couldn't beat Yue Shan, but because this was an elder, which put a lot of pressure on him.

Yue Shan snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to Lin Zhu.

Even the blood bodhi seeds I finally got my hands on didn't smell so good anymore.

After he left, Shang Xiufang, Zhang Sanniang, and Liu Ruoxin all looked at Mu Wanqing.

Liu Ruoxin said, "Let me introduce you. This is Mu Wanqing."

"Shang Xiufang!"

"Zhang San Niang!"

The three of them then introduced themselves.

Mu Wanqing's gaze was very unfocused, looking only at Zhang Sanniang and Shang Xiufang, absolutely avoiding eye contact with Lin Zhu. She couldn't contradict herself. "Greetings to the three of you."

Lin Zhu observed the four of them. Mu Wanqing looked uncomfortable, while Zhang San Niang and the other two found it quite interesting.

He knew perfectly well why Mu Wanqing was uncomfortable, and then he realized that her willpower was much stronger than Zhao Min's!

Zhang San Niang thought Mu Wanqing was in a good state, and it would be best if she could stick to her guns to the end, then it wouldn't matter if she had one less competitor.

The other two shared the same idea.

Mu Wanqing got impatient from being stared at and turned to glare angrily at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu wasn't intimidated at all and met her gaze.

After only two breaths, Mu Wanqing couldn't take it anymore. She looked away and couldn't say what she wanted to say.

'So annoying!'

She was somewhat distracted.

Chapter 247 The City of Four Directions

As the owner of Tianxin Pavilion, Shang Xiufang couldn't just watch Mu Wanqing be embarrassed, so she took the initiative to say, "Let's go up first and stay here for two days before going to the ancient tomb."

Mu Wanqing glanced gratefully at Shang Xiufang, then breathed a sigh of relief.

When it was almost time, someone spoke up in the group.

You Ruo: Did you see Lin Zhu? How did it go? @Mu Wanqing

Mu Wanqing glanced at Lin Zhu, then quickly looked away, stubbornly replying: So what?

You Ruo: Wow, you're much better than Zhao Min.

Zhao Min: You're not just being stubborn because you don't dare to look at Lin Zhu, are you?

Mu Wanqing: Hehe!

She felt a little embarrassed; her words had hit the nail on the head.

At this moment, the five people had just finished dinner.

The weather is perfect, and Shang Xiufang plans to play a piece on the outer balcony. She is currently preparing downstairs.

Mu Wanqing hid in her room and didn't dare to go out.

Lin Zhu and the other three saw her speech and found it quite funny.

The night passed amidst the sound of music.

For the next two days, Lin Zhu accompanied the four women on a day trip around Chang'an.

Mu Wanqing gradually got used to Lin Zhu and stopped looking around.

The atmosphere among the five gradually became harmonious.

But she still didn't dare to talk to Lin Zhu much; the more she said, the more mistakes she would make!

It wasn't that she lacked willpower, but rather that Lin Zhu was too unfair.

Shang Xiufang, Zhang Sanniang, and Liu Ruoxin were also secretly amazed; Mu Wanqing was truly stubborn.

On the third day, they left Chang'an and headed towards the ancient tomb.

With the big dumpling around, it only takes half a day to get from Chang'an to the ancient tomb.

Because Mu Wanqing was there, Lin Zhu didn't sit in the big dumpling seat and gave it to the four of them.

And Little Tangyuan found another gentle embrace.

Mu Wanqing may seem fierce, but she also has a soft side.

Seeing that Lin Zhu didn't ride with her to avoid suspicion, she felt that this person was not bad.

'No, how could I think like that?'

She snapped out of her daze and quickly voiced the thought.

Lin Zhu had no idea about her inner turmoil. The group sped along and arrived at the ancient tomb.

Upon seeing Lin Zhu return, Xiaolongnu was overjoyed and ran towards him, calling out, "Brother!"

Lin Zhu opened his arms and picked her up in a hug, asking, "Did you miss me?"

"I've thought about it." Little Dragon Girl nodded.

She's eleven years old now, so she can't be treated like a little girl. That's why Lin Zhu only hugged her for a moment before letting go.

Mu Wanqing looked at Xiaolongnu and thought she looked so much like Sheng Yayu when he was a child.

After some introductions, they got to know each other.

Lin Chaoying and her group in the ancient tomb curiously observed Mu Wanqing. Seeing that she remained calm, they couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Mu Wanqing understood their glances and couldn't help but feel a little smug. 'I won't give in so easily; I'll fight for my pride.'

This time, Liu Ruoxin came to the ancient tomb mainly to get to know Lin Chaoying and the others, and also to see the Cold Jade Bed.

After accomplishing both tasks, they spent two more days in the ancient tomb before setting off with Lin Zhu towards the Western Regions.

Along the way, with the addition of Mu Wanqing, Lin Zhu was unable to help Zhang San Niang and Shang Xiufang with their cultivation.

After leaving Yumen Pass, the weather became hot.

The big dumpling looked a bit sickly and couldn't pick up any speed.

It got angry and started treating Mu Wanqing like dirt.

Mu Wanqing felt strange and asked, "What's wrong with Lin Zhao?" She was now able to communicate normally with Lin Zhu.

"It's too hot," Lin Zhu said.
