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

The scout who brought the news first reported Lin Zhu's return to Yang Jian, and Yang Jian couldn't wait to go to Yu Juluo's residence.

When Yu Juluo stepped outside, he realized that it was Yang Jian who had come in person. He quickly cupped his hands and bowed, performing a courtier's salute, saying, "I did not expect Your Majesty to come in person. I have failed to greet you properly."

"It's alright." Yang Jian stepped forward to help Yu Juluo up. "That Mr. Lin has already returned. Brother Yu, would you mind taking me with you?"

He turned to look at Yuwen Chengdu standing to the side, "Are you that kid from the Yuwen family?"

"Your subject Yuwen Chengdu pays respects to Your Majesty." Yuwen Chengdu knelt on one knee.

"No need for formalities, please rise." Yang Jian looked at Yu Juluo and asked, "How come Chengdu is in your residence?"

Undeterred by Yang Jian's suspicions, Yu Juluo replied, "Your Majesty, I have already taken Chengdu as my disciple."

“Excellent, a distinguished teacher and a brilliant student.” Yang Jian then looked at Yuwen Chengdu and said, “He will become another pillar of our Great Sui Dynasty.”

Yuwen Chengdu immediately pledged his loyalty, saying, "Your subject swears to serve the Great Sui Dynasty to the death."

"Hmm, his loyalty is commendable and he deserves a reward." Yang Jian looked at Yuwen Chengdu's heroic figure and was quite impressed, so he gave him a jade pendant with a qilin pattern.

Yuwen Chengdu was naturally extremely grateful.

Afterwards, they did not linger at Yu Juluo's residence, but went straight to where Lin Zhu was.

But when they arrived at the entrance of the medicine shop, they found the gate tightly closed, with a sign that read: "Private property, no unauthorized personnel allowed. If you try to force your way in, you will be responsible for the consequences."

Yu Juluo broke out in a cold sweat when he saw these words.

This Daxing City is Yang Jian's territory. Given the current fortune of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian's ability to unleash the power of the Hunyuan Realm is only slightly inferior to that of Ying Zheng back then.

Beside Yang Jian, a eunuch shouted in a shrill voice, "This man is far too arrogant! All the land under heaven belongs to the emperor! How dare he write such treasonous words!"

"Watch your words!" Yang Jian glanced at the eunuch, but his tone held no reproach. He continued, "After all, he is a man from outside the secular world. Moreover, he did not know that I was coming today."

Yu Juluo said, "Your Majesty is truly magnanimous."

After thinking for a moment, Yuwen Chengdu said, "Perhaps Mr. Lin was refining pills, which is why he wrote these words to prevent others from entering."

Yang Jian nodded in agreement, then instructed those around him, "You all continue to keep watch here, and report back if anything happens."

The shadowy figures around Yang Jian bowed to him.

These are secret agents under the emperor's command; it's unclear whether they're called shadow guards or secret guards.

At this time, Lin Zhu was already in seclusion in the shop refining pills.

The Hunyuan Ruyi Grand Formation unfolds, its internal space expands infinitely, and its defensive power multiplies.

Unless Yang Jian wanted to severely weaken the Sui Dynasty, he couldn't break through the defenses of his small shop.

In a secret chamber of the Prince of Jin's residence, southeast of the imperial city of Daxing, Yang Guang received a message from a spy.

"You mean my father went to some shop of unknown origin?" His tone was somewhat sinister, clearly indicating his displeasure.

"Yes, Your Highness." Cold sweat dripped down the scout's back. The Prince of Jin before him was not as wise as he appeared on the surface.

"Tell me about that shop." Yang Guang had a beautiful woman in one arm and a graceful figure behind the screen.

She was a woman he captured after conquering Chen. Now she is his queen and advisor, named Hua Nongying.

If Lin Zhu were here, he would probably find Hua Nongying very familiar.

The scout calmly recounted to Yang Guang the details of Lin Zhu's business over the past year.

Yang Guang chuckled and unconsciously stroked his left beard. "He's an interesting man. Let's continue investigating."

"Yes!" The scout knew his life was saved this time and breathed a sigh of relief.

After the scouts left, Yang Guang asked the screen, "My beloved concubine, what do you think this man surnamed Lin's background is?"

Hua Nongying emerged gracefully from behind the screen, "If I am not mistaken, this person should be an immortal."

“Indeed, I think so too.” Yang Guang reached out and pulled Hua Nongying into his arms. “Why would my father deign to visit an ordinary shopkeeper? He should bring that old fellow Yu Juluo with him.”

Hua Nongying said, "Perhaps this is also related to the departure of the Prince of Kao Shan and the others."

Yang Guang's eyes lit up. "My beloved concubine is indeed incredibly intelligent. How come I didn't think of that?"

"Your Highness is simply blinded by your own involvement." Hua Nongying reached out and stroked Yang Guang's chest.

"My beloved concubine is truly my wise and capable wife." Yang Guang looked at the beauty before him, immediately picked her up, and carried her behind the screen.

Next is………………

On the other hand, Yang Yong didn't have as many thoughts as Yang Guang. He was only concerned with playing and having fun with his beloved concubine, which caused unrest in his household.

Before long, he will lose his position as crown prince.

As for Lin Zhu, he is going to refine three batches of pills this time.

No one had noticed him before.

But things are different now.

Three months later, the first batch of four-stage Qi and Blood Pills was completed, and the sky above the shop was covered in blood red.

Yu Juluo, Yang Jian, and Yang Guang all noticed it.

Looking at the blood-red cloud, Yu Julu stroked his beard and exclaimed, "Such a commotion is no less than when I broke through to the God of War level back then. Chengdu, watch closely, and you should be able to break through in another six months."

"Yes, Master." Yuwen Chengdu stared at the blood cloud, his eyes unblinking.

What he held in his hand was no longer a spear, but a gilded halberd with phoenix wings, the origin of which was unknown.

But it was never made by an ordinary craftsman; it's as if it was born for this purpose.

After the blood cloud dissipated, Yang Jian found Yu Juluo again and asked him to take him to find Lin Zhu.

As a result, I was turned away again.

This made Yang Jian somewhat agitated.

Recently, Yang Yong had been neglecting his wife and favoring his concubine, which had already made him somewhat unhappy. Now, after being turned away like this, he was even more displeased.

However, he did not vent his anger on Lin Zhu, but instead thought it was time to depose Yang Yong, the crown prince.

His second son, Yang Guang, was quite good.

Not long after, Yang Guang, together with Yang Su, Yuwen Shu and others, set a trap for Yang Yong, causing Yang Jian to completely lose faith in him.

Thus, the position of crown prince was secured.

Yang Yong was demoted to a commoner and placed under house arrest in his residence.

Since Yang Yong was deposed, the reign title Kaihuang became appropriate, and it was changed to the first year of Renshou.

During this period, Lin Zhu finished refining the third batch of the Four-Turn Dragon-Tiger Blood Pill.

At this time, Li Xiuning was five years old and had awakened her memories of her past life.

Chapter 901 Favoritism

Li Xiuning: I woke up, but Xiaozhuzi wasn't there, and I felt a bit uneasy.

Lin Zhu: I'm in Daxing City. I figured you'd be coming soon, so I didn't bother looking for you. Just come to Zhuque Street; I've opened a pill shop there.

Wang Yuyan: A medicine shop? I want to be the boss lady.

Wanwan: Does your Nuwa Palace allow you to leave?

Wang Yuyan: I've already reached the Law Realm. I recently received two mid-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Suqing Sword and the Yunsu Flowing Light Skirt, so of course I can go out and train. By the way, you haven't reached the Law Realm yet, have you? That shouldn't be the case!

Wanwan: What are you so smug about? I'll be there soon too.

Huang Rong: I envy Yu Yan; I'm not that fast yet.

Li Canghai: Not bad, better than your grandmother.

Li Qiushui: Why are you talking about me? I'm not bad either, I'm a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal now.

Wu Xingyun: My law has three realms.

Li Canghai: My laws are one realm, one level.

Li Qiushui: So what? Everyone goes through this anyway. Am I proud that I came in last?

Lin Chaoying: What a tough nut to crack.

Li Qiushui: You want to fight? @Lin Chaoying

Lin Chaoying: Do you dare? I just broke through to the first level of the Law Realm three days ago, and I was looking for someone to practice with.

Li Qiushui: Canghai, someone is trying to bully your sister.

Li Canghai: I'm at the Nuwa Palace!

Wu Xingyun: Don't look for me, let whoever wants to hit you do it.

Li Qiushui: I'm out of love! I'm out of love!

Lin Chaoying: Sigh, you say there are eight people who look alike, but apart from Bai Qian who ascended to Qingqiu early, how come Li Qiushui is the only one in the Samsara Palace?

Zhu Yuyan: I don't know!

Xiaoxue: Why does it feel like Qiushui is being targeted?

Li Qiushui: Remove the first four characters.

Wu Xingyun: She did it herself.

Li Xiuning: It seems like they're talking about me now. @Lin Zhu, can you come find me? I don't want to cultivate the art of war, and I don't know when my father will go to Daxing City.

She's currently powerless, just a five-year-old little girl, and she's already feeling very anxious.

Lin Zhu: At most five years later, ten years old is enough time to start cultivating immortality, don't worry. Stay in the Li family mansion, nothing will happen. @Li Xiuning

Shang Xiufang: Xiuning, listen to your brother.

Lü Lingqi: Don't worry, he said it would be at most five years, so he's quite reliable.

Li Xiuning: Okay, alright. By the way, do you think I'll be betrothed to Chai Shao like I was in my past life? I don't want to.

Lin Zhu: Chai Shao is also in Daxing City now, and he's not much older than you, so don't worry.

Li Xiuning: Oh!

She felt that Lin Zhu seemed to be somewhat biased. He went to find Lü Lingqi as soon as she was born, but when it came to her, he didn't care as much.
