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

Lin Zhu then left the villa and strolled around the inner city.

Passing by the music hall, the sounds of string and wind instruments reached his ears, and he couldn't help but stop. 'I almost forgot about Yan Ying; she also received a share of the top-grade spirit stones from Sister Qing'er.'

You can only say that a rich woman is a rich woman; she gives everything regardless of whether she knows the person or not.

Lin Zhu couldn't very well refuse Yan Ying, since they had run into each other.

Even Fan Qinghui, if she encountered it, couldn't refuse to give it to her!

Chapter 511 The Gate of the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau)

Since the music from the music academy hadn't reached them, Lin Zhu didn't dare go in and just waited there.

Outside the palace gates, a figure rushed over and appeared beside Lin Zhu, also looking ahead.

Lin Zhu turned his head and saw a short, fat man with dark skin. He then recognized him as Cao Cao, Cao Mengde.

'No, is he really that persistent?'

Cao Cao also turned to look at Lin Zhu. 'Such a tall person, she must not be a woman, and she is so beautiful.' He instantly recognized Lin Zhu's identity. 'Your humble servant Cao Mengde greets the Protector of the Nation!'

"Lord Cao, there's no need for such formalities. Let's not mention the Heavenly King Protector anymore. I only did a trivial matter."

"What are you saying, Your Majesty? These three divine objects benefit the whole world. You are worthy of being called a mere Heavenly King."

Cao Cao looked at Lin Zhu with a sense of déjà vu that he wished he had a son like Lin Renqian.

Lin Zhu: I'm being polite to you, yet you treat me like a coward, Cao's wife, die! And you even want to be my father!

Of course, this is on the premise that he can read minds.

Just as the two were talking, several more people arrived from the palace, including Li Erfeng, Hanlin Academician Su Shi, and Fan Zhongyan, a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites.

Having spent a long time in the capital, Li Erfeng had completely let loose, saying, "Brother Mengde is always the first one to arrive!"

"Hahaha, Brother Shimin, you still need to work on your legs." Cao Cao laughed loudly.

These guys were all seasoned perverts, so Lin Zhu couldn't help but distance himself from them.

A gust of wind swept in, and a white figure blocked the way for everyone. The figure had a strong aura and was a late-stage Grandmaster.

"The wind has come to my house."

Cao Mengde looked at the white figure and burst into laughter.

"Lord Cao, please show some respect." Nie Feng's gaze sharpened, and his lips twitched. If this weren't in the capital, he would have really wanted to beat Cao Cao up.

Then he turned to look at Li Shimin, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, 'Damn it, Cao Cao wants to be my father, fine, but you're about my age and you also want to be my father? Wait till you get back to Taiyuan, I'll ambush you!'

Li Shimin, feeling somewhat intimidated by Nie Feng's gaze, said to the crowd, "My lords, I must take my leave today, as it is inconvenient for me."

"General, please wait!"

Everyone chuckled, not afraid of Nie Feng, since they were in the capital.

Nie Feng's fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly, as if he wanted to send these people to their deaths with his newly created Wind God Kick.

He was so angry that he ignored Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu took the initiative to greet Nie Feng.

Nie Feng turned his head in confusion and saw Lin Zhu. "Brother Lin, what are you doing here? You wouldn't happen to be here too..."

Lin Zhu said, "There is something I need to give to Madam Yan. Brother Feng, please don't misunderstand."

Nie Feng nodded, "I was overthinking it. With Brother Lin's looks, how could he possibly have any connection with my mother? If he really wanted to, there's nothing I could do to stop him."

He breathed a huge sigh of relief; it was good that Lin Zhu didn't want to be his stepfather.

He felt he was having a very difficult time, having to work for the World Society on one hand, and on the other hand, preventing another young stepfather from appearing.

It's just that Yan Ying's strength has improved too quickly this year, and she's getting younger and younger. Naturally, she's revealed a hint of allure, making her hard to guard against.

Nie Feng had heard that Ji Zhao intended to bring Yan Ying into the palace, so he rushed over from the World Society a few days ago.

If Yan Ying really enters the palace, what will Nie Feng become?

The conversation between the two quickly caught the attention of Su Shi and Fan Zhongyan, and several other middle-aged ministers followed.

After thinking for a moment, Fan Zhongyan asked Cao Cao, "Brother Mengde, is that the Heavenly King who protects the nation?"

Cao Cao nodded. "Exactly."

Therefore, Yan Ying and other beauties were completely forgotten by Fan Zhongyan and others.

"Your humble servants pay homage to the Heavenly King who protects the nation."

Only then did Nie Feng recall Lin Zhu's achievements, thinking to himself, 'If it were Brother Lin, it might not be a bad idea. No, no, my mother isn't good enough for him.'

"Gentlemen, there's no need for such formalities. May I ask your names?"

"Your humble servant, Fan Zhongyan."

"Your humble servant Zhang Juzheng."

"Your humble servant, Su Shi."

Upon hearing the name Su Shi, Lin Zhu felt a little guilty and then looked at him.

I happened to see Su Shi's melancholy gaze.

Seeing that Lin Zhu was easy to talk to, Su Shi said, "Your Majesty is a man of great talent, but please don't make fun of me with poetry anymore. I had a really hard time during that period."

In front of the aggrieved party, Lin Zhu was slightly embarrassed and did not argue. He simply cupped his hands in greeting to Su Shi.

Su Shi quickly waved his hand to avoid it.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Brother Zizhan, the Emperor's blessing is a fortunate event, how can you be so ungrateful?"

Su Shi rolled his eyes at Cao Cao, speechless. "That's because your son is young and got the benefits for nothing. He didn't suffer the same fate as me."

Zhang Juzheng asked, "Does Your Highness have a past relationship with that Lady Yan?"

"I guess so," Lin Zhu nodded.

Zhang Juzheng said, "I have been reckless these past few days." As he spoke, he cupped his hands in apology to Nie Feng.

Then, Fan Zhongyan and Su Shi also apologized to Nie Feng.

Cao Cao stood still, looking as if no one could shake the soul of his wife.

Su Shi and the others secretly sighed, 'Brother Mengde is truly a role model for us!'

Nie Feng was even more speechless at Cao Cao's persistence. What was the reason for such obsession?

Lin Zhu looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Lord Zhang, please wait."

"Your Highness." Zhang Juzheng turned around and bowed respectfully.

Lin Zhu asked, "Does Lord Zhang know of Zhang Juzhong of Suzhou?"

Zhang Juzheng asked, "Does Your Highness know my cousin?"

Fan Zhongyan said, "Isn't Lord Zhang from Jingxiang?"

Zhang Juzheng said, "That's right. However, my cousin Juzhong traveled to Suzhou with my uncle and settled there. He also returns to Jiangling from time to time." He looked at Lin Zhu, "Does Your Highness know my cousin?"

Lin Zhu nodded, "Yes, I think Lord Zhang and Uncle Zhang are quite similar, and given their names, I had this question."

Zhang Juzheng thought about many things in an instant, and then quickly concluded that Lin Zhu was probably related to his cousin.

"I see. My humble abode is located in the west of the inner city. Your Highness may visit me when you have some free time in the future."

Lin Zhu nodded.

Fan Zhongyan looked at Zhang Juzheng with envy, never expecting that this old fellow actually had some connection with Lin Zhu.

Soon after, the music stopped, and everyone dispersed.

Nie Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Zhu, his eyes filled with gratitude.

That's right, it's a bit of a shame we didn't drive Cao Cao away.

Cao Cao rubbed his hands together. Yan Ying should be coming out by now, since Nie Feng was there!

"Imperial edict has arrived!"

A eunuch vanished in a blur and stormed straight into the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).

"By imperial decree, the entire Imperial Music Bureau is ordered to proceed to the palace tomorrow to prepare music and dance for the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration. So be it!"

Chapter 512 Cao Cao: I am a War Wolf

When Cao Cao heard this imperial edict, he was completely stunned.

Although rumors had circulated in the palace that Ji Zhao had taken a liking to Yan Ying, no one expected it to happen so quickly.

He couldn't help but think to himself, 'Your Majesty, you are still young. If you can't handle a top-tier married woman like Yan Ying, then let me do it.'

Nie Feng's face was also ashen; the rumors had come true.

After delivering the imperial edict, the eunuch turned and left without lingering.

Nie Feng wanted to stop him.

Unfortunately, this was the capital city, and he wasn't alone. He was afraid that he would implicate Yan Ying as well, and then Yan Ying would have no choice but to submit to Ji Zhao.

After the eunuch left, Cao Cao stepped forward and discussed with Nie Feng, "Feng'er, what do you think we should do this time?"

Seeing Cao Cao approaching, Nie Feng quickly took three steps back, saying, "Lord Cao, please wait, we are not acquainted."

Cao Cao looked at Nie Feng with a resentful expression, "Feng'er, I'm serious about your mother, can't you see my true feelings?"

"Ew~" Looking at Boss Cao like this, Lin Zhu couldn't help but rub his arms, getting goosebumps all over.

Nie Feng's face darkened even more; he was utterly speechless.

A short while later, Yan Ying came out of the brothel and saw Nie Feng at first glance. She smiled and said, "Feng'er, we have a half-day off today. Let's go back first."

She was already very content that her son could travel all the way from the Western Regions to the capital to see her once a year.

"Ahem!" Cao Cao coughed twice. "Madam, I am here."

Yan Ying smiled politely at Cao Cao and curtsied slightly, saying, "Greetings, Lord Cao. If there is nothing else, Feng'er and I will take our leave."
