Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

"Very good, very ambitious. I am optimistic about you. Come on, young man. Your goal is the sea of ​​stars." Chen Liu encouraged.

"Yes, Brother Chen." No one had ever encouraged Guo Jing like this before. This made him so excited that his eyes were red. He felt that Chen Liu was the best brother in his life.

"Go practice," Chen Liu waved, and walked towards the tent. Guo Jing immediately plunged into practicing "Surging Waves," repetitively, until he was tired, he'd lie down on the ground and sleep, then get up and continue practicing. His mother, Li Ping, came to bring him food, but after he finished eating, he continued practicing again, even when Li Ping asked him to rest for a while, he refused.

"Tsk, such tenacity." The next day, Chen Liu came to the place where Guo Jing practiced martial arts again and found that Guo Jing was still practicing the "Waves Crashing on the Shore" over and over again. He couldn't help but marvel at his perseverance.

"Very good, very good. You have practiced the first move, Waves Crashing on the Shore, quite well. Today we will learn the second move, Surge." Chen Liu first praised Guo Jing, and then began to explain Surge to him carefully and repeatedly.

Although Chen Liu did not have the talent of a famous teacher, he was much more responsible than Hong Qigong, and he knew where Guo Jing's problem lay, so he kept explaining the techniques of exerting force to him over and over again, and asked him to try it over and over again until he remembered it.

Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong, and the others, fearing Chen Liu's martial arts, stayed away and refused to listen. However, Han Xiaoying didn't care. She stood not far away and watched Chen Liu repeatedly explain the simple moves to Guo Jing. She couldn't help but sigh that Chen Liu was indeed a better teacher than them.

It was not until Guo Jing memorized the second move, the surging surge, that Chen Liu kept him there to continue practicing hard, while he walked leisurely towards Han Xiaoying.

"What do you think after reading this?"

"You are indeed better than us."

Chen Liu shook his head and said, "There are four types of people in this world. The first type is those with both talent and perseverance. Such people will definitely become the best. The second type is those with talent but no perseverance. They will eventually be confused by the crowd. The third type is those with no talent but perseverance. If such people encounter the right skills, they will also have a high probability of becoming the best. The fourth type is those with neither talent nor perseverance. Forget it."

Han Xiaoying: ...

"There is no shortcut to success. To be successful, you need 99% perspiration and 1% talent. Maybe Guo Jing's talent is dull, but his hard work is the strongest among those I have ever seen. He will succeed in the future." Chen Liu said.

"What about you?" Han Xiaoying turned her head and looked at Chen Liu.

"Me?" Chen Liu smiled and said, "I have a cheat."

"What do you mean?"

"Miss Han, I want to learn your Yuenu Sword, is that possible?"

"Learn my Yuenu Sword?" Han Xiaoying was quite surprised.

"Of course, I won't learn in vain." Chen Liu said: "I can teach you a sword-breaking move, but it requires a high level of understanding, and I don't know if you can learn it."

Chapter 74: Yue Girl Sword

Chen Liu memorized the Yuenu Sword after only watching Han Xiaoying wield it once. He even modified it using the sword-breaking techniques of the Dugu Nine Swords, making it even more powerful and cunning. Chen Liu then taught Han Xiaoying the modified Yuenu Sword, shocking her deeply. What kind of freak was this? He not only learned it after just one look, but also improved it.

Learning the modified Yuenu Sword was easy, but learning the Dugu Nine Swords' sword-breaking form was much more difficult. This form alone had 360 variations and required a keen eye, requiring one to detect the opponent's weaknesses the moment they moved and attack them directly. Even Han Xiaoying, with her quick comprehension, still hadn't mastered it after two days of study. By this time, Chen Liu had arrived at Guo Jing's house on his sixth day, and Guo Jing had already mastered the four moves of the Shocking Wave Palm.

On the morning of the seventh day, Chen Liu, having long since recovered, set out with Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong, Han Xiaoying, and Guo Jing. Guo Jing's mother, Li Ping, ultimately refused to return to the Central Plains. Everyone has their own path. Chen Liu couldn't possibly claim that Genghis Khan would attack the Song Dynasty and ask Guo Jing to lead the army against them, could he? Besides, this was a world of comprehensive martial arts, and the Song Dynasty itself possessed several celestial masters, making it possible for them to fight back. Furthermore, this was a world of comprehensive martial arts, not the Return of the Condor Heroes. Chen Liu had no idea how the future would unfold, so he refrained from counseling.

In the afternoon, while staying at the hotel, Chen Liu taught Guo Jing the fifth move of the Shocking Waves Palm, "Wild Wind and Giant Waves," and then left him to practice on his own. Chen Liu himself began to find a place to repeatedly perform the Yuenu Sword. After each use of the Yuenu Sword, Chen Liu paused to reflect carefully, then used the sword-breaking moves of the Dugu Nine Swords to target the opponent, further improving the Yuenu Sword. The Yuenu Sword was a sword technique Ah Qing had learned from the White Ape. That was Ah Qing, who had cleaved through three thousand Yue armors with a single strike. Chen Liu felt that the Yuenu Sword should be more powerful than this.

"Is that Seventh Sister's Yuenu Sword?" Zhu Cong, seeing that Chen Liu wasn't deliberately hiding from them to practice Yuenu Sword, took a closer look. The more he watched, the more astonished he became. Chen Liu's Yuenu Sword had undergone significant changes from Han Xiaoying's. Sometimes it was wide and sweeping, with the aura of a sword cleaving through the heavens. Other times, it was incredibly tricky, striking unexpectedly, aiming for a single strike to kill. Even he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Furthermore, Chen Liu would occasionally fine-tune and improve the Yuenu Sword technique, making it even more astonishing and eerie.

"Yes." Han Xiaoying was also watching Chen Liu's sword practice intently, her heart filled with wonder. Chen Liu's comprehension and talent were incredible, no wonder he had managed to escape from Li Mochou's clutches.

As Guo Jing completed learning all twelve moves of the Shocking Wave Palm, Chen Liu's refinement of the Yuenu Sword was nearly complete. He thought to himself, "The Yuenu Sword is almost complete. Now it's at least several times more powerful than Han Xiaoying's Yuenu Sword Technique. If combined with the Light Footsteps, it will be even more powerful. With this set of sword techniques, should it be enough to repay the Six Freaks of Jiangnan for saving my life? If I have the opportunity in the future, I'll repay them."

"Miss Han, since you can't learn the Sword Breaking Style, I'll teach you another set of footwork. However, this set of footwork involves Grandmaster techniques, so it's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary," Chen Liu said to Han Xiaoying. Chen Liu had originally been reluctant to teach Han Xiaoying the Light Footsteps, as they involved the Xiaoyao Sect. However, Han Xiaoying couldn't learn the Dugu Nine Swords, which was a bit frustrating.

"Are you leaving?" Han Xiaoying's mood was a little complicated. After spending these days together, she couldn't help but feel a lot more favorable towards Chen Liu. It would be great if she were still young, but unfortunately she was already old.

Chen Liu was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have something else to do, but I was pursued by Li Mochou at the time, so I was delayed. We should have a chance to meet again in the future."

"Since this set of footwork involves the Grandmaster, I might as well not learn it."

"It's okay. I got this set of footwork by accident. I also improved the Yuenu Sword. If you use this set of footwork together, it will greatly increase your strength."

"Okay!" Han Xiaoying smiled slightly.

"Miss Han, please follow me."

What frustrated Chen Liu was that he had forgotten that Lingbo Weibu required a good understanding of the I Ching. Han Xiaoying was just a chivalrous woman, and while she could read, she didn't understand the I Ching. Learning Lingbo Weibu wasn't easy. Chen Liu had to teach her for two days before she could memorize it. Chen Liu couldn't help but sigh slightly and could only ask Han Xiaoying to study the I Ching more in the future. He couldn't delay any longer. If he delayed any longer, Mu Nianci would be gone.

"Brother Chen!" Guo Jing was so sad to see Chen Liu leave that he choked up and immediately handed over all his money to Chen Liu. His masters would constantly scold him when teaching him martial arts, even Han Xiaoying, who was the best to him, would sometimes scold him. Only Chen Liu would always encourage and praise him. Although Chen Liu would sometimes tease him, he was still like a real brother to him.

Guo Jing is quite rich. After all, he is Genghis Khan's future son-in-law. It is hard for him to be poor.

Chen Liu didn't want it at first, but after thinking about it, he took twenty taels of gold and a night pearl.

"Twenty taels of gold and a night-shining pearl are enough for me." Most of Chen Liu's money had been taken away by Lu Wushuang, leaving only five taels of gold and a few taels of silver. Although this was still a few dozen taels, if he wanted to go to Jin Dadu and abduct Mu Nianci, he would have to secretly rescue Bao Xiruo, right? After rescuing her, he would have to arrange for her and Yang Tiexin's future life, right? All of these things would cost money. After all, Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo were Guo Jing's uncles and aunts, so using the money on them was not considered an outsider's. As for the night-shining pearl, Chen Liu was going to give it to Mu Nianci.

"Brother Chen, just take more." Guo Jing advised.

"No need." Chen Liu waved his hand.

"Brother Chen, this horse is for you." Guo Jing led his small red Ferghana horse over and handed the reins to Chen Liu. Han Baoju wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Chen Liu smiled and said, "Brother Guo, this is a Ferghana horse, worth at least ten thousand gold coins."

Guo Jing laughed and said, "Even a horse worth ten thousand gold pieces can't compare to how good Brother Chen is to me."

Chen Liu laughed heartily and said, "Brother Guo, you should keep this horse for yourself. It's of little use to me. I can ride an ordinary horse."

"Brother Chen..."

Guo Jing was about to say something when Chen Liu stopped him and said, "Brother Guo, you are kind-hearted, which is good, but don't trust others easily in the future. By the way..."

Chen Liu thought about how Huang Rong's life had changed since she had met him, and he didn't know if she would ever meet Guo Jing again. So he said, "If you are lucky enough to meet a beggar with only nine fingers, try to please him. It will do you good. But forget it, let nature take its course."

Chen Liu thought that with Guo Jing's personality, it would be difficult to get him to please others, so forget it. If he couldn't learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, he would find a way to compensate him later. Chen Liu liked Guo Jing, this fool. Although he was a little dull, he had a good heart.

"I'm leaving!" Chen Liu looked back at the Six Freaks of Jiangnan, but ultimately said nothing. Some people's personalities are difficult to change, and no matter how well he spoke, it would be difficult to change Ke Zhenwu's character.

Chapter 75 Jin Dadu

Finally arrived in Jindadu.

Seeing the city gate of Jin Dadu, Chen Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

When Chenliu arrived at Jin Dadu, Huang Rong, Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo also arrived at Jin Dadu, but one entered from the north gate of Jin Dadu and the other entered from the south gate of Jin Dadu.

Hong Lingbo was captured by Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang. Seeing Lu Wushuang with them, Hong Lingbo knew her deception had been exposed and readily confessed the outcome. Hong Lingbo was incredibly cooperative, showing no sign of escaping even after being captured by Huang Rong and Guo Xiang.

Knowing that Chen Liu was being pursued by Li Mochou, Huang Rong and Guo Fu and Guo Xiang were helpless. Even if they knew the outcome, what would it matter? They had no idea where Chen Liu had fled to, let alone whether Li Mochou had captured him. In desperation, Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang took Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo to Jin Dadu. Chen Liu's destination was Jin Dadu, hoping that after escaping, he would personally go there.

As for Li Mochou's donkey, Lu Wushuang killed it to vent his anger. If he couldn't kill Li Mochou, could he not kill her donkey?

Poor donkey.

After arriving in Jin Dadu, Huang Rong and the five women, Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, Lu Wushuang, and Hong Lingbo, checked into the Fuyue Inn. Huang Rong, Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, Lu Wushuang, and Hong Lingbo were quite a group, and since they didn't like the crowds, they requested a courtyard. Not long after, Chen Liu, who had entered the city through the north gate, also checked into the Gaosheng Inn, not far from Fuyue.

After settling in, Huang Rong, Guo Fu, and Guo Xiang left the inn and wandered around Jin Dadu, hoping to see if there was a Mu Nianci contestant there. That Chen Liu guy was obsessed with Mu Nianci, and Huang Rong wanted to see just how beautiful she was.

After Chen Liu settled down, he went to the lobby of the inn, ordered three side dishes, a bowl of soup, and a bowl of rice, and started eating. While eating, he thought about what he should do next.

I don't know if Mu Nianci has held a martial arts competition to seek a husband. To confirm whether Mu Nianci has held a martial arts competition to seek a husband, it would be best to go to Prince Zhao's mansion to check out the current situation. If there are no changes, then Mu Nianci has not yet held a martial arts competition to seek a husband. I hope it's not too late.

Hmm? Mu Nianci was a little confused as to who was talking about her. Her father had just said he was old and couldn't delay her, and wanted her to compete in a martial arts competition to find a good husband. She hadn't expected someone to start talking about her before she even found a husband. Furthermore, her father had only told her about this, and she hadn't even confirmed it yet. How did that person know? Did he accidentally overhear her father asking for her opinion? Sitting in a corner with her back to Chen Liu, Mu Nianci, who was enjoying a plate of cheap pickles and porridge with her father, Mu Yi, turned around and quietly watched to see who was talking about her.

"What's wrong, Nian'er?" Mu Yi, also known as Yang Tiexin, was confused when he saw Mu Nianci turning around and looking around at the guests in the inn lobby.

"It's okay, Daddy, are you…" Mu Nianci was about to ask Yang Tiexin if she had heard anyone talking about her martial arts competition, but she suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart and immediately shut up, saying, "I'm just a little uneasy."

Mu Nianci quietly observed Yang Tiexin for a while and found that he didn't seem to hear the voice. It seemed that the voice was only audible to him, and he couldn't tell anyone else. Every time she wanted to speak, she felt a sudden palpitation in her heart. Was this a warning to herself? What was going on?

"Speaking of which, the precious snake that the old monster Shenxian in Prince Zhao's mansion has been feeding for twenty years is extremely valuable. Not only does it greatly increase one's power, it can increase it by at least ten or twenty years, and it also makes one immune to all poisons. When you visit Prince Zhao's mansion, you can quietly bring the precious snake out and give it to Mu Nianci. I'm so kind to her, she shouldn't stop me from taking concubines, right?"

Mu Nianci: ...

A precious snake that increases power by twenty years? Taking a concubine? Who on earth is this person? He hasn't even started yet, and he's already thinking about taking a concubine.

Mu Nianci changed her seat so that she could observe who was speaking.

"What's wrong, Nian'er?" Yang Tiexin found that Mu Nianci was sitting well, but changed her seat, and suddenly became confused.

"It's okay, I just suddenly wanted to change seats."

Mu Nianci quietly searched for who was talking in the lobby, but she didn't find anyone talking. Then how did these words reach her ears? No, it should be in her mind?

As for that silly boy Guo Jing, when I become more powerful, I'll go to the Lingyun Cave in the Western Regions, get a few Blood Bodhis and give him one or two.

Guo Jing? Mu Nianci was shocked. Wasn't this the son of the sworn brother her father had been looking for for over a decade? Did he actually know Guo Jing? Or was he just someone with the same name?

Mu Nianci gradually locked onto Chen Liu, who was eating alone at the table by the window. Besides the father and daughter, there were four other tables of guests in the inn's lobby. The other three tables had at least two people each, and none of them looked like quacks. The only exception was Chen Liu, who was sitting at the table by the window. Glancing at Chen Liu, Mu Nianci blushed slightly, thinking to herself, "Is that him?"

"Nian'er, what are you looking at that man for?" Yang Tiexin also noticed that Mu Nianci was secretly looking at Chen Liu, so he asked in a low voice.

"I just think that person is a little strange." Mu Nianci also answered in a low voice.

Mu Yi glanced at Chen Liu and said, "That man's clothes look like he's from the Yuan Dynasty, but his complexion is pale and his hair is styled like that of a Han Chinese. It's a bit strange indeed. I guess he went to the north to do business, and he probably dressed this way for convenience."

"Hmm!" Mu Nianci responded absentmindedly.

"Nian'er, what do you think about what I told you?" Yang Tiexin asked.

Mu Nianci was about to reply when Chen Liu's voice echoed through her mind again. "Oh, right? Mei Chaofeng should be in Prince Zhao's mansion. Mei Chaofeng has the Nine Yin Manual. Is it the upper or lower volume? I think it's the lower volume. The upper volume contains the inner cultivation techniques, while the lower volume contains the ultimate martial arts skills, such as the Nine Yin Divine Claw, the Spiral Nine Shadows, the White Python Whip, and so on. I do have the techniques, but not many martial arts. If possible, I'll have to find a way to get them back. I wonder if there's the Bone Strengthening Chapter of the I Ching."

The Nine Yin Scriptures? Mu Nianci was secretly surprised. The Nine Yin Scriptures were legendary throughout the Song Dynasty martial arts world, considered one of the most prestigious martial arts. When the Nine Yin Scriptures leaked from the Song Dynasty imperial palace, it sparked a bloodbath throughout the martial arts world. Finally, the Five Supreme Masters battled it out on Mount Huashan, where the winner was ultimately obtained by Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect. Since then, the Nine Yin Scriptures had been completely lost. She hadn't expected to hear that the Nine Yin Scriptures were in Prince Zhao's mansion today. That was the Nine Yin Scriptures!

[It would be great if there was a volume, so Mu Nianci could learn it. It seems she doesn't have any good martial arts. That old beggar Hong Qigong taught her a set of Xiaoyaoyou palm techniques. Is it Xiaoyaoyou?]

Mu Nianci's ears felt a little hot. Thinking of the man who had stolen the Nine Yin Manual and wanted her to learn it, her heart couldn't help but pound. As for the martial arts competition that her father had mentioned, she became a little hesitant. "Dad, let me think about it."

"Then you should think about it seriously for two days." Yang Tiexin sighed slightly.

Chapter 76 Mu Nianci (Part )

Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci came to eat earlier, and they ate pickled vegetables and rice porridge, so they naturally ate faster than Chen Liu. After finishing their meal, Mu Nianci told Yang Tiexin that she wanted to sit for a while and asked him to go back to his room to rest.

Yang Tiexin thought that Mu Nianci was a little uneasy about the martial arts competition for a husband, and sighed slightly. He really wanted to find a good home for his daughter.

Mu Nianci was not Yang Tiexin's biological daughter, but his adopted daughter. Wanyan Honglie orchestrated a plot to lure Song soldiers to surround and kill Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian. Guo Xiaotian was killed in action, but Yang Tiexin, gravely wounded, fled to Hetang Village, where he was rescued by a farmer. Later, a plague struck, wiping out the entire household, leaving behind only a newborn baby girl. Feeling a sense of responsibility, Yang Tiexin adopted her as his adopted daughter, naming her Mu Nianci. For over a decade, Yang Tiexin, searching for his wife Bao Xiruo and his adopted sister-in-law Li Ping, traveled extensively with Mu Nianci.

Yang Tiexin had hoped that if he could find his adopted sister-in-law, Li Ping, and she gave birth to a son, he would have Mu Nianci marry Guo Jing. However, after years of failing to find one, his heart had grown cold. Seeing that his adopted daughter was about to turn eighteen, he wanted to find her a young, talented martial artist. However, Yang Tiexin was surprised to find Mu Nianci somewhat resistant to this idea.

Yang Tiexin asked Mu Nianci to sit for a while and go back to her room to rest, so he went back to his room first.

Because Mu Nianci could hear Chen Liu's thoughts and accidentally heard him mention the name of her sworn brother Guo Jing, in order to find out whether Chen Liu really knew her sworn brother Guo Jing, she secretly followed him after Chen Liu returned to his room.

He confirmed that Chen Liu's room was not far from his own, just next to his own. Chen Liu had just arrived in Jin Dadu and didn't know anyone here. He didn't expect that someone would follow him in the inn. Moreover, it just so happened that he was staying in the inn where Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci were staying, and he happened to live next to Mu Nianci. He didn't expect that Mu Nianci could hear his thoughts.
