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

Otherwise, what kind of strange beast looks like this?

The news of Lin Zhu's Fire Qilin has spread throughout the world.

Don't underestimate Lin Zhu just because he's only at the peak of the realm. When he travels with the Fire Qilin, he's practically a terrestrial immortal.

If Xiang Liang doesn't back down, what can be done?

Lin Zhu looked at Shang Xiuxun and said, "Sister Shang, you handle him. I'll be right behind you, don't worry."

Shang Xiuxun, not wanting to cause trouble for Lin Zhu, and knowing that the Southern Chu royal family was quite powerful, shook her head and said, "Never mind, I haven't suffered any real losses."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liang breathed a sigh of relief. This shop owner was kind-hearted; it was just a pity that he couldn't marry her.

Lin Zhu snorted coldly, "Since Sister Shang doesn't care, then you can go back. If you want the Pegasus Ranch, find someone who can speak on your behalf."

Xiang Liang felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders, but he was still genuinely frustrated.

Not daring to linger at Pegasus Ranch, they ordered the army to turn around and gallop away.

He was a smart man and knew Lin Zhu's plans.

Shang Xiuxun finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Little brother, thank you."

Lin Zhu smiled and shook her head, "Sister Shang, you're too kind."

Seeing that smile again, Shang Xiuxun felt that she was truly falling for him.

She didn't really want to. After lurking in the group for so long, how could she not know how many people liked Lin Zhu?

I really don't have any competitiveness in the group.

But now, she knows she can no longer break free.

This is poison.

For a moment, she was mesmerized by Lin Zhu's eyes.

Yan Lingji secretly came up behind Shang Xiuxun, gave her a push, and pushed her into Lin Zhu's arms.

Shang Xiuxun screamed in fright.

"Waaaaah!"

Huo Ling'er was caught off guard and sandwiched between the two, leaving her speechless.

Shang Xiuxun blushed and turned to glare at Yan Lingji, "Lingji, you're too naughty."

"I learned it from Rong'er!"

Yan Lingji said with a smile, feeling quite happy about this prank.

Lin Zhu shook his head and chuckled, "Alright, let's go back. Pegasus Ranch will change hands either tomorrow or the day after."

Shang Xiuxun blushed as she left Lin Zhu's embrace, looking towards Pegasus Ranch, still somewhat reluctant to leave.

But there's nothing she can do. Given the current state of the world, she can't protect the Pegasus Ranch, not even if Lu Miaozi breaks through to the pinnacle.

Lin Zhu said, "If you like, there is a valley at the foot of Misty Peak that is several times larger than Pegasus Ranch, and the pasture is much more lush. You can build a new ranch there."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiuxun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, little brother."

The three walked and talked until they returned to the Pegasus Ranch estate.

Inside the manor, Shang Xiuxun began communicating with her subordinates about the change of ownership of Pegasus Ranch.

Those who wish to stay at Pegasus Ranch will be placed under the command of Southern Chu, while those who wish to leave will receive severance pay.

If you want to go with her, set off ahead of time and head to Misty Peak in the Tianshan Mountains.

Half of the people have spent half their lives at Pegasus Ranch, unable to part with their hard work and the warhorses they have grown attached to.

They chose to stay at Pegasus Ranch.

A small number of those who lacked a strong sense of belonging chose to take a severance package and go elsewhere to make a living.

Only thirteen of Shang Xiuxun's true loyal followers were willing to go to Tianshan with her to rebuild a new ranch.

That night, Lin Zhu discussed this matter with Wu Xingyun in the group chat.

Wu Xingyun: Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away. You did a great job. @Lin Zhu

Zhao Min: Another sister is coming! That's great! I can help with setting up the ranch.

Huang Rong: Don't make things worse.

Zhao Min: Huang Rong, will you die if you don't argue with me for a day?!

Wu Xingyun: You two hurry up and practice your skills. You're so smart, but your martial arts progress is the slowest.

Shang Xiuxun: Thank you, Grandma. I'll come over as soon as I finish what I need to do here.

Wu Xingyun: Don't rush. That valley is reserved for you. There are many rare and exotic beasts in the Tianshan Mountains, definitely better than the Pegasus Ranch. Also, don't worry about manpower. Even if Lingjiu Palace is short-handed, there are many skilled breeders in Lingjiu City.

Shang Xiuxun: Okay!

Lin Zhu and Yan Ling Ji spent another day at the Pegasus Ranch.

On the third day, there was another sound of horses' hooves, and still a thousand people.

The leader was no longer Xiang Liang, but a young man, a robust young man with an equally imposing appearance, already showing a hint of domineering presence.

Beneath him was a black steed, a prized horse of even higher quality than the silver-scaled horse.

In fact, he was wearing black armor, with nine short halberds for throwing attached to his back, and wielding the Overlord Spear.

The Overlord Spear that Breaks the Formation was crafted by the Mohists. It was forged from an extremely heavy piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron and can be considered a divine weapon, no weaker than the Snow Drinking Blade.

Lin Zhu walked out of the manor and looked at Xiang Shaoyu on horseback.

Xiang Shaoyu possesses superhuman strength. Although he still has a long way to go in terms of enlightenment, his overall strength is already comparable to that of a Grandmaster.

His physique is special, and his future achievements will be even greater than those of Wu Wudi.

At the same time, he was also arrogant, looking down at Lin Zhu and pointing at her with the tip of his spear, saying, "You are Lin Zhu? You are indeed quite good-looking."

As he spoke, he shook his head. It wasn't anything else, just that his scalp suddenly felt itchy, for some reason.

An old man was with him, but Lin Zhu couldn't figure him out.

He asked calmly, "Is the King of Chu trying to intimidate others with his power?"

Xiang Yu dismounted and hung the Overlord Spear on his horse. "Of course not. Old Wang was just looking after me. Just like the Fire Qilin beside you."

"Xiang Shaoyu of the Xiang family greets Young Master Lin."

He admired Lin Zhu, who, despite being the same age as him, was far superior in strength. This was not only in terms of martial arts cultivation, but also in terms of raw power.

He was exceptionally gifted and could sense the terrifying physical power contained within Lin Zhu's body.

"Lin Zhu greets Young Master Xiang."

Lin Zhu knew that Xiang Shaoyu was not here as the King of Chu this time.

"Shang Xiuxun (Yan Lingji) greets Young Master Xiang."

The two women beside him also bowed to Xiang Yu.

"Young Master Xiang, please come inside!"

As the owner of Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun welcomed Xiang Shaoyu and Old Wang into the manor.

Xiang Liang didn't come; he was too ashamed to come.

Huo Ling'er looked at Old Wang with a wary expression. She could sense that Old Wang was not someone to be trifled with.

Upon arriving at the Pegasus Ranch, after both parties took their seats as host and guest, Xiang Shaoyu cut to the chase: "Mr. Merchant, what price do you intend to offer for this Pegasus Ranch?"

"Leaving aside the land beneath our feet, the Pegasus Ranch alone, with its hundreds of Silverscale Horses, would be worth tens of millions of taels of silver. What do you think its value is, Young Master Xiang?"

Xiang Shaoyu said, "We in Southern Chu are short of gold and silver. Could we exchange them for rare and precious materials?"

Shang Xiuxun looked at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu nodded. Money was useless to them; exchanging it for rare and precious materials would be ideal.

Shang Xiuxun asked, "How much, and what kind of rare and precious materials does the Xiang family intend to use, to exchange for the Pegasus Ranch?"

Xiang Yu held up three fingers, "Thirty catties of golden dragon root."

"What is Golden Dragon Root?" Shang Xiuxun had never heard of this medicine before, and looked at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu had never heard of it either, so she asked in the group: Does anyone know about Golden Dragon Root?

Wu Xingyun: Never heard of it.

Zi Nu: I don't know either.

Duanmu Rong: The Xiang family's Golden Dragon Root? I do know a little about that. A Golden Dragon Root the length of an index finger can be used to make a barrel of Marrow Cleansing Soup. If there is a lot of it, it can forge a dragon spine in the body, which has a miraculous effect on body tempering. It will also have a significant effect on you, but it has side effects.

Lin Zhu: What are the side effects?

Duanmu Rong: When soaking in the medicinal bath, her whole body was not in pain, except for the unbearable pain in her spine and the itching in her bone marrow, which was beyond what ordinary people could endure.

Lin Zhu: How about thirty catties of Golden Dragon Root? The Xiang family plans to use these to exchange for the Pegasus Ranch.

At this moment, Shang Xiuxun was also paying attention to all of this.

Duanmu Rong: Generally speaking, ten catties of golden dragon root can be used to forge a dragon spine, and the strength of the two arms can reach the strength of a dragon. Thirty catties is no less valuable than Pegasus Ranch.

After the conversation, Lin Zhu looked at Shang Xiuxun and nodded.

Shang Xiuxun said to Xiang Shaoyu, "Alright!"

Xiang Shaoyu nodded. He appreciated that Shang Xiuxun didn't try to bargain.

"Then it's settled. Shopkeeper, the Golden Dragon Root will be presented in three days. You must also withdraw from Pegasus Ranch in time. As for the people who want to stay at the ranch, I, Xiang Shaoyu, will not mistreat them. They will receive the same treatment as before, and it will only be better after my Xiang family takes over."

Shang Xiuxun agreed.

Then, Xiang Shaoyu looked at Lin Zhu and said, "Young Master Lin, I would like to ask you for some guidance. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me?"

Lin Zhu was quite happy to be able to torment the future overlord, and agreed without hesitation.

The group then arrived outside the ranch.
