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

"Shimin, I have a gift for you."

"Hmm?" Li Shimin looked up and asked naturally, "What does brother-in-law want to give me?"

Lin Zhu flipped his hand, and the Imperial Seal of the State appeared. "This is it. I don't know how it ended up in my hands before. Now it's yours."

"Pass it on, the Imperial Seal of the State!" Li Shimin was stunned, unsure whether to accept it or not.

Lin Zhu nodded, "This is it." With that, she threw it directly at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was startled and quickly caught it.

You have to understand, this is the Imperial Seal of the State, it can't just be thrown away like that.

"Is it really for me?" Li Shimin's hand trembled slightly. After all, he was not yet the Heavenly Khan, and he had not yet experienced the Xuanwu Gate Incident, so he was not as composed as he would be later.

"This thing was originally yours. After you return to Chang'an, it's up to you whether you want to keep it for yourself or give it to your father."

Anyway, it's just an empty shell, so Lin Zhu doesn't really need it.

“This!” Li Shimin looked at Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning said, "Take it if you want. As for what to do after we get to Chang'an, that's up to you."

After all, it was the imperial seal, a symbol of imperial power. Although Li Shimin was somewhat unsettled, it was understandable.

In the end, he decided to hand it over to Li Yuan.

After all, Li Yuan has not yet ascended the throne; he is merely the King of Tang. Having the Imperial Seal would make his legitimacy even more legitimate.

"Shimin will listen to Second Sister." He was still a little weak, having exhausted himself by using the power of his imperial destiny earlier.

This is a weakness at the level of the soul.

Li Yuanba's situation was simpler. Lin Zhu gave him a Five-Turn Dragon-Tiger Blood Qi Pill, and he recovered everything. Now he's full of energy.

"So this Dragon-Tiger Blood Qi Pill was made by you, brother-in-law," Li Shimin exclaimed in surprise. Then he looked at Li Xiuning and asked, "Second sister, where are you cultivating now?"

Li Xiuning smiled and said, "I've always been in Chang'an, and I've only left twice, once at Siming Mountain and once this time."

Li Shimin was dumbfounded again, and then asked, "Isn't it said that those who live long lives in Jambudvipa cannot cultivate?"

“That’s someone else, how can we be the same?” Jingwei’s mouth was always quick.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, then said, "I almost forgot, brother-in-law knows alchemy." He then asked, "Are you also going back to Chang'an next?"

"Yes." Lin Zhu nodded. He really couldn't leave right now; the date was getting closer and closer.

Li Shimin was overjoyed and asked Li Xiuning, "Second sister, after we arrive in Chang'an, will you come back with me? Mother misses you; her health isn't very good right now."

At this time, Lady Dou was still alive.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuning nodded and said, "Okay!"

Chapter 923 Li Yuanba, the Timid One

Lin Zhu and Li Shimin returned to Chang'an together.

On the way, Li Yuanba, who had fully recovered, came to find him. "Second brother-in-law, let's have a fight."

"Yuanba, you mustn't be so presumptuous."

Li Shimin quickly stopped him, believing that the immortal's body was too weak to withstand a punch from Li Yuanba.

"It's alright, I also want to see how strong Yuanba is."

Lin Zhu agreed to Li Yuanba's request to fight.

"Second brother, brother-in-law said it's okay, so please step aside." Li Yuanba rubbed his hands together, very excited.

He had been thrown off balance by Lin Zhu and thought Lin Zhu must be very strong, partly because he was exhausted at the time.

Now I want to try again and see who's better.

Li Shimin turned to look at Li Xiuning, "Second Sister, look at this!"

Li Xiuning smiled and said, "It's alright, he knows what he's doing and won't hurt Yuanba."

Li Shimin: 'Is that what I'm worried about? I'm worried he'll be beaten to death by Yuanba!'

Seeing that Li Xiuning had already said so, he had no choice but to step aside.

It was dusk when Li Yuanba looked at Lin Zhu opposite him and said, "Second brother-in-law, take this punch."

With his left foot planted on the ground, he concentrated all his strength into his fist, vanished from his original spot in the blink of an eye, and reappeared in front of Lin Zhu. He threw a punch, the air that his fist touched was compressed, and then exploded, releasing a golden light.

Lin Zhu, though arriving late, struck first. With his right palm forward, he unleashed Tai Chi energy, took a step back, and rotated his wrist, easily neutralizing Li Yuanba's immense force. Then, using the opponent's force against him, he stepped forward again, executing a Tai Chi cloud hand move that sent Li Yuanba spinning several times before pushing him away with force.

At this moment, Li Yuanba's body was already entangled in Tai Chi energy, and his body was out of his control. He was pushed away and fell to the ground, rolling several times before he stood up.

He felt a bit frustrated. Although he hadn't used his full strength in that punch, it was still about 50%. Not only was it returned, but when he tried to unleash his power again, he was entangled by the Tai Chi force.

It's like punching a pile of cotton – you can't use your strength.

He quickly stood up and accused, "Brother-in-law, you're cheating. This isn't funny at all."

Lin Zhu clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Then we're not playing anymore?"

"No, this time you have to exchange a punch with me. Let's see who's stronger." Li Yuanba didn't want to face Tai Chi; he was very uncomfortable.

This feeling is exactly the same as when Sun Wukong encountered Lin Zhu on Flower Fruit Mountain.

"Alright, go all out, and I'll see just how strong you really are." Lin Zhu said, clenching his fist and unleashing the Ultimate Annihilation Fist.

The power of Gui water and Ren water within his body combined, and his fist was surrounded by transparent water vapor ripples.

Li Yuanba's fist was also glowing with golden light as he shouted, "Take this!"

Lin Zhu threw a punch, and the Ren and Gui water formed a huge water ball. After colliding with Li Yuanba's fist, it shattered and turned into a water flow that surged like a great river, carrying with it the cold power of Gui water.

After being struck, Li Yuanba was frozen solid, his entire body covered in blue ice crystals.

Lin Zhu was also badly hurt. Li Yuanba's full-force attack was indeed powerful. His right finger bones were fractured, and he was thrown back two miles before he was able to dissipate the force.

Under normal circumstances, his strength is not as great as Li Yuanba's.

"Yuanba~!"

Outside the arena, Li Shimin was startled to see Li Yuanba frozen in ice and was about to go forward to check on him.

Li Xiuning pulled him back and said, "Yuanba is fine, Renqian knows what he's doing."

Normally, in front of other non-group members, Li Xiuning would address Lin Zhu by his courtesy name.

Li Shimin wondered if his second sister had forgotten her brother after getting a husband.

After releasing the force, Lin Zhu flew back.

To prevent Li Yuanba from freezing, he injected a wisp of pure yang purple energy into his body.

In an instant, the ice crystals on Li Yuanba's body melted away, and he was freed from his confinement. He couldn't help but shiver twice, "It's so cold!"

He looked at Lin Zhu again, a hint of fear in his eyes.

It's either hitting cotton or getting frozen; it's not fun at all.

He shouted, "I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore, it's not fun at all."

Lin Zhu completely overwhelmed the cultivator of the martial arts path on a dimensional level. He had too many methods at his disposal, and he would subconsciously use methods to restrain his opponent.

"Then we won't fight." Lin Zhu chuckled.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Yuanba was alright.

The army marched for a month and arrived in Chang'an.

Wang Yuyan and Yaoyue returned to the manor first, while Lin Zhu went with Li Xiuning to see Li Yuan and Dou Shi.

Li Yuan and Lady Dou had received news from Li Shimin long ago. Knowing that their daughter had returned, they were overjoyed and came out together to greet her.

After all, the Li family has many sons, but only one legitimate daughter.

The one who married Chai Shao was not Dou's biological son, so he doesn't count.

Dou recognized her daughter at a glance. After all, Li Xiuning looked about the same when she left, only she looked even better now.

After all, girls change a lot as they grow up.

"Xiuning, my son, how could you be so heartless? It's been almost eight years since you left your mother."

Lady Dou was overcome with grief, tears streaming down her face.

Li Yuan looked at Lin Zhu, wondering if this was his son-in-law, but he felt that his daughter was not good enough for him.

He's an immortal being; even my crazy son couldn't beat him. He must have profound cultivation, but I don't know how old he is.

“Mother, actually I’ve been in Chang’an all these years, you just didn’t know it,” Li Xiuning explained to Dou Shi.

Years ago, Dou's health was poor, and Li Xiuning secretly used her spiritual power to help her recover several times; otherwise, she would have died long ago.

Upon hearing her daughter's explanation, Dou slapped her, saying, "You child, you're back now and you won't even show yourself to your mother."

Li Xiuning glanced at Li Yuan, thinking to herself, "They were just afraid you'd marry me off to Chai Shao. It's not too late for them to come back now!"

Li Yuan thought to himself, 'Why are you looking at me like that? Did your father send you away?'

After scolding Li Xiuning, Dou looked at Lin Zhu and said, "This aunt... this son-in-law is really handsome!"

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were also there, looking at Lin Zhu with puzzled expressions. 'This is really my brother-in-law; even Xiuning (my second sister) can't compare.'

"Greetings, Auntie."

After thinking about it, Lin Zhu decided to address Dou Shi as such.

Li Yuan and Lady Dou were taken aback for a moment, then they realized that it was not surprising that someone could live forever.

I've heard my second son say that my daughter can get the King of Hell to extend her lifespan, so I can't afford to offend her.

Lin Zhu stated, 'Your lifespan is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld. Generally speaking, after your lifespan ends, you will be guided to the ancestral land of humanity. Not every emperor is Qin Shi Huang.'

After Li Xiuning returned, the Li family was naturally lively for several days.

Li Shimin ultimately did not tell his parents that Lin Zhu had other female confidantes. Instead, he gave the Imperial Seal of the State to Li Yuan and said that it was given to him by Lin Zhu.

Li Yuan was overjoyed, for with the Imperial Seal of the State, he was now the legitimate ruler.

Not long after, the young emperor Yang You abdicated the throne to Li Yuan, and the Tang Dynasty officially came to power.
