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

Li Shimin felt greatly appreciated and said, "Thank you for your understanding, brother-in-law."

Li Xiuning expressed her incomprehension, asking, "Why would you speak up for him?"

“We have to be reasonable. The Tang Dynasty really can’t withstand any more turmoil right now. There’s nothing wrong with letting him go with you.” Lin Zhu said, then looked at Li Shimin. “Actually, you don’t need to be wary of your second sister. Even if she wants to help your father, she can’t accomplish anything.”

Li Xiuning was even angrier. 'You look down on me, don't you!'

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuyan, Xiaoxue, and Jingwei all nodded in agreement with Lin Zhu's words.

Li Shimin thought about it carefully and said to Li Xiuning, "Second sister, then you should go see Father Emperor by yourself tomorrow."

Li Xiuning opened her mouth, wanting to curse, but didn't know what to say.

Zheng Guanyin watched this scene, a slight smile playing on her lips. 'It seems the atmosphere here is quite pleasant; the children should be doing well.'

With that, she was completely relieved.

Changsun Wugou then changed the subject, asking, "Second Sister, I wonder how Lizhi and the others should cultivate?"

Li Shimin also looked over, but his peripheral vision was fixed on Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu then unleashed six beams of purple light, which were six first-stage pure yang purple-gold pills, sealed within the bodies of Li Lizhi, Li Wanrou, and the others.

He looked at Li Xiuning and said, "These six pills are enough for them to cultivate to the Xuanxian realm. I will leave the teaching to you after that."

Zheng Guanyin said to her five daughters, "Hurry up and thank your uncle."

Li Wanrou and the other five little girls knelt down in unison and said in their clear voices, "Thank you, Uncle."

Li Jiancheng and Zheng Guanyin have excellent genes, and these five little girls are also very cute. Lin Zhu smiled and said, "No need to be polite, get up. From now on, you will follow your aunt to cultivate diligently. If you succeed in your cultivation, you can also take up a position in the Underworld."

The five little girls didn't know what the underworld was, but Zheng Guanyin did, and exclaimed, "The underworld? Isn't that..."

Li Xiuning said, "I will also be working in the underworld in the future."

Li Shimin was also stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Zhu and said, "So, second brother-in-law, you are also from the underworld?"

Lin Zhu nodded and said, "I am the inspector of the underworld in the human world, but Yu Yan and Xiao Xue are disciples of Nuwa Palace, Jing Wei is the daughter of Emperor Shennong, and Sister Yue is a disciple of Guanghan Palace of Taiyin Star."

Seeing Li Shimin's constantly changing expression, and Empress Zhangsun also looking somewhat conflicted, Li Xiuning said, "What, you look down on the underworld?"

Li Shimin then realized what was happening. "Second sister, you've misunderstood. Guanyinbi and I were just a little surprised." He quickly nudged Li Lizhi's shoulder. "Lizhi, why don't you thank your uncle?"

Li Lizhi was very well-behaved and the prettiest of the six little girls. She was very quiet and knelt down, saying in a soft and cute voice, "Lizhi thanks Uncle for bestowing the pill."

Lin Zhu patted her head and said, "Don't be so polite." Then he said to Li Shimin, "Don't look down on the Underworld. Back then, after Ying Zheng entered the Underworld, he is now a big figure in the Pangu Realm."

Li Shimin became interested. "Brother-in-law, are you saying that the First Emperor is also in the underworld? Shouldn't he be in the ancestral home of the human race?"

"The First Emperor was special." Lin Zhu then recounted how he had manipulated Ying Zheng into becoming the Emperor of Fengdu.

Li Shimin was extremely envious and asked, "Brother-in-law, what do you think of me?"

"What do you mean, how about it?" Lin Zhu asked knowingly.

Li Shimin asked, "After I die, can I go to the underworld and contribute to maintaining its stability?"

Lin Zhu shook his head, patted his shoulder and said, "You have your own place to go, don't think too much about it."

Li Shimin was very disappointed upon hearing this. He was extremely envious of Ying Zheng. The emperor of the underworld was unique, and he also had the four great generals of the Warring States period, as well as talented and fierce generals like Xiang Yu and Han Xin under his command. It couldn't be more awesome.

After the six little girls became disciples, Li Shimin sought Lin Zhu's help regarding Empress Zhangsun's lung disease.

"Brother-in-law, is Guanyinbi's lung disease curable?"

Lin Zhu said, "This is easy to cure." He then took out a crystal pear. "This is a Crystal Snow Pear, a spiritual fruit acquired later in life. It can moisturize the lungs and relieve dryness, which is just right for the symptoms."

He handed it to Empress Zhangsun, saying, "Take this."

Empress Zhangsun reached out and took it, saying, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Seeing Li Shimin and the six little girls looking at him expectantly, Lin Zhu waved his hand and said, "Stay for dinner tonight."

Li Shimin could not obtain it.

His own combat strength is not low either, with the combat power of the Battle Yuan level, which is equivalent to the Law Realm.

The food cooked by Abe is still digestible.

However, Empress Zhangsun, Zheng Guanyin, and the six little girls were full after only one bite and could not eat any more.

The youngest, Li Wanyu, even had tears in her eyes because she couldn't get any delicious food.

Lin Zhu held her in his arms, patted her head and said, "Wanyu, be good, if you can't eat it, we won't eat it."

At this time, Li Wanyu was only three years old, with pink and tender skin that made you want to take a bite. Her voice was soft and cute as she said, "But I still want to eat."

Zheng Guanyin glanced at her, and she immediately buried her head in Lin Zhu's chest in fear.

Lin Zhu looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, the child is just a little greedy, there's no need to be like this." As she spoke, she used her magic to help Li Wanyu digest the spiritual energy in the food.

"Brother-in-law, it's best not to spoil her too much." Zheng Guanyin said, glancing at Li Shimin, still harboring some reservations.

Li Shimin pretended not to see it; he didn't want to cause any more misunderstandings.

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "She's only three years old; it's the perfect time to pamper her."

Before long, Li Wanyu had fallen asleep, her fair face glowing with a radiant light, making her even more adorable.

After dinner, Li Shimin took Empress Zhangsun back to the Eastern Palace.

Another day has passed.

The next day, Li Xiuning went to see Li Yuan.

When Li Yuan learned that Li Jiancheng's five daughters had embarked on the path to immortality, his mood improved somewhat.

He said to Li Xiuning, "Xiuning, Father should have listened to you back then!"

Li Xiuning sighed, "Father, let bygones be bygones, and look forward."

Li Yuan sighed and waved his hand, saying, "It's too late. Now I just want to see how well Li Shimin is behaving as emperor."

As for restoration, he really doesn't want it anymore.

The main reason is that my heart is already half dead, and I don't want to go through any more trouble.

Recently, he has been indulging in wine and women all day long, and in nine months he will be able to give Li Xiuning and Li Shimin a few more younger brothers and sisters.

Before leaving the Taiji Hall, Li Xiuning taught Li Yuan how to play mahjong, which should cheer him up.

After that, in addition to fine wine and beautiful women, Li Yuan added another hobby: playing mahjong.

Soon after, mahjong became popular not only in the Taiji Palace but throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, and even spread to the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 930 Guanyin's Visit

All of this was orchestrated by Lin Zhu, who was considered the master of mahjong and thus possessed a bit more luck, though it was far less than a tenth of the luck he had in the Southern Continent.

At this time, in the Great Thunderclap Temple, Buddha racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how to deal with Lin Zhu.

There's nothing we can do, absolutely nothing.

“Amitabha, it seems that this is the only way.” He looked at Guanyin, “Venerable Guanyin, please go to the Great Tang Dynasty in the East and meet that True Lord Linzhu.”

Guanyin bowed with one hand and said, "Please enlighten me, Buddha."

The Buddha is not worried about the merits of Buddhism being divided up; rather, he is worried that Lin Zhu will not be willing to join the journey to the West, although this possibility is very small.

He said, "I trouble you, Venerable One, to persuade this True Lord Linzhu to join the westward journey."

"Does this mean I should become Jin Chanzi's disciple?" Although it was impossible, Guanyin felt she still needed to ask clearly.

The Buddha uttered a soft "Amitabha," and said, "There is no need for such formality." He remained silent for a moment, then took out a relic. "This is a relic that emerged when my physical body was shed from the mortal realm. If he makes any demands, Venerable One, you may simply give it to me."

Guanyin reached out and took it. This was a relic that the Buddha had transformed after attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. If an ordinary practitioner obtained it, he could hope to attain the Great Dao of Hunyuan by meditating on it every day.

"I will follow the Buddha's teachings."

After accepting the relic, Guanyin transformed into a beam of white light and headed towards Jambudvipa (the southern continent), passing through the South Heavenly Gate before arriving outside Chang'an City.

Her outfit was so eye-catching that she transformed into a beautiful young woman in a white dress, looking so pure and holy that one would not dare to defile her.

She entered Chang'an City with a seemingly slow but actually hurried demeanor, arrived at Zhuque Street, and found the manor where Lin Zhu lived.

At this time, several months had passed since Li Xiuning took on a disciple, and Jingwei, who loved to teach, took over Li Xiuning's job.

Then Guanyin's voice rang out outside the manor, "This humble monk, Miaoshan, requests an audience with True Lord Linzhu."

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, why is she here?" Upon hearing the voice, Lin Zhu waved his hand, opening a portal in the Hunyuan Ruyi Formation.

The manor gates then opened.

Then he appeared outside the door, looked at Miaoshan in front of him, and felt that there was a big difference between her and Guanyin's true form, but she still had that compassionate look.

"Greetings, Guanyin Bodhisattva. Please come inside for a chat."

"Miaoshan greets the True Lord. Please, True Lord, go first."

Upon entering the manor, Lin Zhu cut to the chase: "May I ask what brings you here, Great Master? Or has the Golden Cicada been reincarnated?"

Guanyin did not hide anything and said, "Jin Chanzi has indeed been reincarnated and is currently in Jinshan Temple outside the city, named Jiang Liuer."

Jiang Liuer is the son of Chen Guangrui, the top scholar during the Wude era, and is currently eight years old.

"However, this humble monk has come not for Jin Chanzi, but for you, True Lord."

"Me?" Lin Zhu asked, puzzled. "Please enlighten me, Great Master."

Guanyin said, "Does the True Lord know that you possess 15% of the human race's fortune from the Southern Continent?"

Lin Zhu nodded, "I understand. You may speak frankly, Great Master."

Guanyin smiled and said, "Then this humble monk will speak frankly." She told Lin Zhu about all the elements, reasons, and results of the pilgrimage, including the related fate.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu suddenly realized that he could travel west without any planning, which was quite a coincidence.

Guanyin formally invited Lin Zhu to join the westward journey, asking, "What does the True Lord think?"

Lin Zhu laughed and said, "Will I also have to become a Buddhist monk then?"

Guanyin said, "If True Lord has this intention, our Buddhist sect will certainly open its gates wide to welcome True Lord."

Lin Zhu waved his hand, "Going west is fine, but joining Buddhism is out of the question."

Guanyin was surprised that Lin Zhu agreed so readily. Could she then keep the Buddha's relics for herself?
