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

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "It's not like the thinking of ordinary people."

"That's not surprising. After all, he's a demon, so it's normal for him to have a brain disorder." Cao Cao thought of the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, and then looked at the handprint on Cheng Yu's face, and couldn't help but chuckle.

But then he remembered that Xu Shu's mother had been kidnapped, and his anger surged again.

"Did you see what that person looked like?"

Cheng Yu said, "Although it was dark, I could still see clearly." He hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Indeed, he has a first-rate appearance."

"Oh!" Cao Cao was really curious. Cheng Yu was beaten so badly, yet he could still say that the man had a first-class appearance. He must have been quite handsome.

On the other side, when Yuegui saw Lin Zhu save an old woman, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Little Zhu, have you changed your tastes?"

Lin Zhu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. Ignoring Yuegui's status, she flicked Yuegui's head with a flick, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Before Yuegui could make a move, he explained why he wanted to save Xu's mother.

Yuegui then realized she had wronged Lin Zhu, but in her heart she thought, 'Little Zhu, you just wait. I can't beat you now, but when we reach the Moon Star, I'll lock you up until the end of the month.'

Lu Lingqi asked, "Shall we go to Jingzhou tonight?"

“Yes.” Lin Zhu looked at her and said, “Go in and keep that person company. This time, you will continue to borrow a path to heaven.”

“Alright, come on.” Lü Lingqi took the initiative to let Lin Zhu use his hidden sleeve to put it away, and then spoke to Xu’s mother, explaining why she had taken her away.

Xu's mother listened with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Given the current situation, she can only take things one step at a time. After all, she's an old woman, so what's there to be afraid of?

A flash of golden light appeared on Lin Zhu's body, and he returned to the South Heavenly Gate.

It's nighttime below, but it's daytime at Nantianmen.

Guangmu Tianwang saw Lin Zhu again, and after he left, he muttered, "Hey guys, how about we make a bet?"

"How to gamble, and what to gamble on?" The King of Growth had a rather strong gambling instinct.

Guangmu Tianwang said, "Let's bet on when that True Lord Linzhu will ascend to heaven next time. I bet it will be within an hour."

Dhritarashtra said, “I will bet one merit coin, within a quarter of an hour.”

Guangmu Tianwang called to his men, "They're here! Place your bets, any amount you like, just betting on when True Monarch Linzhu will come to the Heavenly Court again."

The daily life in Heaven was quite boring, and most of the heavenly soldiers and generals had a gambling addiction, so they all placed bets.

However, it's all just a little gambling for fun.

When Lin Zhu arrived outside Xinye City, he felt a persistent itch on his nose. "Why do I keep feeling like someone is twisting me from behind?"

The first person he thought of was Cheng Yu.

Chapter 867 Lü Bu's Reputation

Speaking of Cheng Yu, he was returning to the Prime Minister's residence with Cao Cao at this time.

Coincidentally, at dawn, Cao Zhi, following Cao Cao's instructions, drew a picture of Lin Zhu and was about to present it to Cao Cao.

"Father, the painting you requested is complete."

Cao Cao's heart stirred, and he said to Cheng Yu, "Zhongde, take a look and see how this person's appearance compares to the sorcerer you encountered last night."

Cao Zhi chimed in, "Father, my painting skills are poor; I failed to capture even a fraction of that person's spirit."

Cao Cao remained silent, but simply unfurled the scroll.

This painting took Cao Zhi three days to complete, which can be said to have taken a lot of effort, but even so, he still felt that the portrait was not lifelike.

In fact, Cao Zhi's painting skills were by no means bad.

Cao Cao stared at the portrait, unable to look away after just one glance. "There is actually someone in the world more beautiful than Lady Du, and she is a man."

Suddenly, he looked at Cheng Yu, who was even more excited than him.

"My lord, my lord, it's him, it's him, it's him."

Cao Cao asked, "What?"

Cheng Yu paused for a moment and said, "It was this person who abducted Xu Shu's mother."

"What? Are you sure?" Cao Cao's expression turned serious.

Cheng Yu said, "Although Young Master Zijian failed to capture three-tenths of this person's spirit, he must have captured at least two-tenths. I cannot possibly be mistaken."

Cao Cao turned to look at Cao Zhi, "Zijian, it seems your painting skills do need improvement."

Cao Zhi was heartbroken. He had done his best, but Lin Zhu's appearance could not be replicated with a paintbrush at all.

Two points was the result of his best efforts. Didn't you see that Cheng Yu recognized him?

After encouraging Cao Zhi, Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu, "Zhongde, go and inform the civil and military officials to come and discuss how to take Yanmen Pass."

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, "My lord, that's Lü Bu."

Cao Cao said, "Before heading south, we must take Yanmen Pass. That scoundrel Lü Bu is too unpredictable. Lin Zhu is someone close to his daughter, and I absolutely cannot allow any mistakes to happen to my rear."

Cheng Yu understood this time. "Yes, my lord."

Immediately afterwards, all of Cao Cao's civil and military officials gathered at the Prime Minister's residence to discuss the matter.

Xu Chu shouted, "My lord, everyone says that Lü Bu is unparalleled in the world. I disagree and vow to compete with him."

"Zhongkang is brave and valiant, who among you gentlemen does not know this?" Cao Cao did not think highly of Xu Chu, and said indirectly, "However, Lu Bu is indeed no match for him."

Xu Chu was a little displeased.

Xiahou Dun saw through it and asked, "Zhongkang, how do you think you compare to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"

Xu Chu couldn't help but recall the scene at the White Horse Temple. Although Guan Yu's horse wasn't Red Hare, it was still an exceptional steed, only slightly inferior to Red Hare.

At the White Horse Temple, he displayed his divine power, charging into the midst of ten thousand troops in a single encounter and taking Yan Liang's head.

The distance at that time was several hundred miles.

Xu Chu had to admit that he was slightly inferior to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu held Zhang Fei in high esteem, and although there were some humble words in his praise, Zhang Fei's bravery was evident.

Therefore, he dared not boast and said, "I am slightly inferior."

Xiahou Dun said, "Back then at Hulao Pass, that scoundrel Lü Bu fought Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei single-handedly without being at a disadvantage."

Xu Chu had obviously heard about this before, and ultimately said nothing more.

Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Dun, praising him highly. He was indeed his brother, someone he could rely on in crucial moments.

He asked his advisors, "Do any of you have a plan to help me take Yanmen Pass?"

Not to mention that Cao Cao's camp was discussing going to war with Lü Bu.

Inside Xinye City, Lin Zhu had already released Lü Lingqi and Xu's mother, and then headed towards the city lord's mansion.

Currently, Liu Bei is the lord of Xinye, and Xu Shu serves under him.

Lin Zhu looked up at the sky, but there was no sign of Qi or material transformation.

After all, Liu Bei's power is not yet fully established, so he naturally cannot gather any fortune.

The imperial fortune of the Han Dynasty is temporarily concentrated in Yizhou, but it is rather weak.

Although Liu Bei's power was small, he was not someone anyone could just meet.

Fortunately, Lin Zhu was no ordinary person. He spotted Liu Bei immediately and transmitted his voice, "Liu Xuande, I have brought Shan Fu's mother. Please come out and meet her."

Liu Bei was inspecting the military camp with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xu Shu when he heard a voice transmission. He looked to both sides and asked, "Strategist, Second Brother, Third Brother, did you hear that voice?"

Zhang Fei, puzzled, exclaimed, "No, brother!"

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu and said, "I just heard someone say that they have brought the strategist's mother."

Lin Zhu overheard their conversation and transmitted his voice again: 'Your strategist's real name is Xu Shu, Xu Shu, am I correct?'

Xu Shu also heard the telepathic message and looked at Liu Bei, saying, "My lord, I heard it too."

Guan Yu frowned and said coldly, "The ability to transmit sound suggests this person is an immortal. I just don't know if he's a sorcerer like Zhang Jiao."

Zhang Fei glared angrily, "If he's a monster like Zhang Jiao, I'll tear eighty holes out of him! Brother, let's go see him."

The four set off immediately and soon began searching for the person on the street.

Lin Zhu had Lü Lingqi bring Xu's mother and appear before them.

Upon seeing his mother, Xu Shu immediately recognized her and rushed forward, kneeling down with great fervor, "Mother! Your son greets you, Mother!"

Xu's mother was surprised to actually see her son in Xinye. She helped him up and said, "Yuanzhi, didn't your friend Cheng Yu say that you were serving under Cao Cao?"

“Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde?” Xu Shu pondered for a moment and immediately understood Cheng Yu’s sinister intentions. “Mother, Cheng Yu is definitely trying to trick me into going to Xuchang. He is truly shameless.”

At this time, neither Lin Zhu nor Liu Bei disturbed the mother and son's reunion.

However, Xu's mother did not lose her manners and said to Xu Shu, "I must thank these fairies for saving this old woman."

She told Xu Shu what had happened, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei naturally heard it as well.

Before Xu Shu could even offer his greetings, Liu Bei bowed deeply to Lin Zhu, saying, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving the strategist's mother. I am deeply grateful."

Xu Shu also quickly stepped forward to express his gratitude.

Since their own elder brother had already expressed his gratitude, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally had to do the same.

Lin Zhu accepted their greetings and then said, "No need for formalities, it was just a small favor."

Lu Lingqi recognized Zhang Fei at a glance, curled her lip, and asked, "You dark-skinned fellow, are you Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide?"

Zhang Fei's eyes widened. "I am Zhang Yide of Yan. Who are you?"

"Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Lingqi." Lu Lingqi looked at Zhang Fei, her imposing manner unyielding.

"So you're Lü Bu's daughter, that's right." Ever since Lü Bu went to guard Yanmen Pass against the Hu people, Zhang Fei's dislike for him had completely disappeared.

It was mainly Liu Bei who sighed a lot in front of him.

After all, Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo and preserved the Han Dynasty. Later, he had no choice but to go to Yanmen Pass to resist the Hu people. He was truly a hero.

Even Guan Yu revealed a hint of admiration for Lü Bu.

Isn't that how their reputation was salvaged?
