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

Lin Zhu and Wuming exchanged a glance and nodded. "Then we'll have to trouble you, Second Master."

"Hahaha!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed. "Please, gentlemen!"

Lin Zhu sent a message in the group: You guys go to Yihua Palace first, I still need to go to Chengdu to meet Liu Xuande. The Evil Emperor has been dealt with. @Wang Yuyan @Wanwan

Wu Xingyun: Is he dead? Who killed him?

Lin Zhu: I used the power of heavenly thunder to help him break free.

Wu Xingyun: He was known as the First Evil Emperor, with extraordinary talent, but unfortunately his life was wasted because of the Demon Blade. What a pity.

Lin Zhu: Who says otherwise!

Inviting the Moon: When will you approximately arrive? @Linzhu

Lin Zhu: I probably won't stay in Chengdu for long. Send a photo to the group, and I'll try to find you later.

Inviting the Moon: I sent Lianxing to take the picture; I can't go out.

Lianxing: I'll go right away.

A short while later, Lianxing posted photos of Xiuyu Valley in the group chat.

Wang Yuyan: What a beautiful environment, it's so lovely.

Wu Xingyun: Indeed, it is quite good. The lake water is like jade, and the name of Xiuyu Valley is well-deserved.

The more Lin Zhu looked at the photo, the more it seemed to resemble a certain place. Wasn't this an enlarged version of Jiuzhaigou?

So, is the claim that Xiuyu Valley is spring-like all year round just a rumor?

Indeed, the true spring-like climate all year round was in the Dali Kingdom; the Sichuan region still has four distinct seasons.

In the group chat, many people are discussing the beautiful scenery of Xiuyu Valley.

Lianxing: If you all wish to come, my sister and I will welcome you with open arms.

She tagged all the group members.

This was something Yaoyue nodded in affirmation.

While keeping an eye on the chat group, Lin Zhu flew over Chengdu with Wuming and Guan Yu.

Upon seeing three figures flying in from the sky, Liu Bei knew the matter was resolved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Being anonymous isn't a big deal.

But when Liu Bei saw Lin Zhu, he could hardly believe that there was anyone in the world who looked like that.

If he hadn't known beforehand that it was a man, he probably would have made a fool of himself.

Lin Zhu also looked at Liu Bei, who was over 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome face, ears that reached his shoulders, and hands that reached his knees. He did indeed have some extraordinary features.

Having ears that reach your shoulders goes without saying; it's a sign of good fortune.

Having hands that go past the knees looks a bit out of place; it makes him look like a gibbon.

But if it's used for drawing a bow and nocking an arrow, it's definitely a master.

His hands must be quite strong.

"We greet Your Highness!"

Lin Zhu and Wuming bowed to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei smiled gently, "You two heroes are too polite. You have saved Shu from such a great calamity. Please accept my bow."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands and bowed deeply, showing no sign of reluctance.

Lin Zhu and Wuming both turned to the side and accepted the half-bow.

"Your Highness is too kind. This is what we martial artists should do."

After Lin Zhu and Wuming finished speaking in unison, they felt that the other person was so in sync with them.

Lin Zhu knew that Wuming was just like that, so she was only surprised for a moment, but then she didn't take it personally.

As for Wuming, he increasingly admired Lin Zhu, seeing him as a person with a heart for all living beings.

Unfortunately, his level of skill was already no lower than his own, otherwise he would definitely have taken him as his disciple.

Right, he sensed a familiar feeling from that torrent of sword energy earlier, but he just couldn't remember it.

Liu Bei's appreciation for the two men grew even stronger.

He had heard of the nameless person.

Lin Zhu learned this from Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and knew that this person was only sixteen years old.

Wait a minute, a sixteen-year-old at the pinnacle, a half-step into the Heavenly Realm, such a talent must be kept in my Shu.

He invited the two men into Chengdu.

Chengdu, as the largest city in Sichuan, was no less prosperous than Chang'an.

Furthermore, Sichuan is known for its many beautiful women.

However, while she appears gentle and kind on the surface, she is actually quite ruthless and unpredictable.

On the street, you can often see a beautiful woman grabbing her husband by the ear and dragging him home.

Lin Zhu found it very amusing.

Liu Bei, standing to the side, said, "I'm sorry to have made Brother Lin laugh at me."

Lin Zhu laughed and said, "I only heard about it before, but now I realize that men in Sichuan really respect their wives."

Zhang Fei nodded eagerly, "Brother Lin is right, we do respect our wives at home."

Lin Zhu looked at Zhang Fei in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that this guy was also henpecked.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and others looked at Zhang Fei and laughed heartily.

Zhang Fei then realized what he had revealed in front of Lin Zhu, but he didn't care. After all, who in Chengdu didn't know him, Zhang Yide?

Moreover, what is this little predicament compared to my second brother?

Upon arriving at the Shu King's palace, Liu Bei arranged a banquet.

Lin Zhu met Zhuge Liang.

Among the important officials of Shu, apart from Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang was the most handsome.

Furthermore, this Zhuge Liang was quite capable.

But Lin Zhu felt something was strange about him; he didn't seem to be a martial artist.

Then there's only one possibility: he's not practicing martial arts.

Lin Zhu hasn't had any experience with non-martial arts matters yet, mainly because these people don't roam the martial arts world.

Take Zuo Ci, for example; people only know his name but have never seen him.

Chapter 323 Orchid in the Stone

As the banquet began, Liu Bei, seated in the main seat, raised his wine cup and said, "Gentlemen, the two chivalrous men, Wuming and Lin Zhu, have averted a great calamity for Shu. Let us toast them with this cup of wine."

"Respectfully, Mr. Wuming, and Brother Lin Zhu!"

Lin Zhu had no choice but to drink it this time, and poured a glass of wine into his mouth.

'Huh~, this wine isn't spicy at all, it actually tastes quite smooth.'

Then, a surge of heat rose up, and his face immediately turned rosy.

Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "Young Brother Lin, have you never drunk alcohol before?"

Lin Zhu smiled and nodded, "I've had it a few times."

“Then try this jar of mine.” Zhang Fei strode forward and poured a bowl of baijiu into the bowl in front of Lin Zhu. “This baijiu is produced in Qianzhou, and it’s strong and potent.”

Lin Zhu took a sniff; it still smelled like soy sauce, and he felt a little disgusted.

"Third brother, don't be so presumptuous. Young Brother Lin can't hold his liquor, why are you making him drink your local wine?"

Liu Bei could tell that Lin Zhu and Wuming were both people who did not like to drink, so he stepped forward and picked up the bowl in front of Lin Zhu, saying, "Brother, I will drink this cup of wine on behalf of Brother Lin."

Having said that, he drank it all in one gulp.

For the rest of the time, no one urged anyone to drink.

Although Zhang Fei wasn't particularly intelligent, Guan Yu's advice prevented him from forcing others to drink with him.

I also picked up my glass less often.

We can drink it when we get back.

The banquet ended quickly.

Liu Bei waved to the back, "Lan'er, come and escort Brother Lin to rest."

"Yes, Father."

A tall and graceful young woman walked out from the inner hall. Her phoenix eyes were bright and spirited, and her skin was as white as snow and delicate as if it could be broken with a touch.

This is Liu Bei's adopted daughter.

"This humble woman, Yu Lan, greets Young Master Lin."

She winked playfully.

Lin Zhu instantly guessed her identity.

"You do recognize me."

Liu Bei was dumbfounded. Ever since he gained the support of the Shu Mountain, Yu Ziqi and Yu Lan had been adopted as his godson and goddaughter. The two had never left the Shu region. How did Yu Lan get to know Lin Zhu?

Looking at Yu Ziqi, he was also completely bewildered.

They were very curious about how Lin Zhu and Yu Lan met.

Then Lin Zhu said, "I've been to Sichuan once before."

Understanding the implied meaning from the music, Liu Bei and Yu Ziqi knew what Lin Zhu meant without him having to say anything more.

Yu Lanke was also a restless person, and it was common for her to disguise herself as a man and walk around Chengdu.
