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

The Lingjiu Palace's reputation wasn't well-known in the Song Dynasty's martial arts world, but it was no secret among the Song Dynasty's masters. Many knew of its existence, but they either couldn't afford to offend it, or, for Xiaoyaozi's sake, many people and forces who weren't afraid of the Lingjiu Palace hesitated to touch it.

Huang Yaoshi and Guo Juxia were both renowned masters of the Song Dynasty. They were aware of the existence of the Lingjiu Palace, but being solitary and powerless, they knew of its origins, knowing only that its master was Tong Lao. Huang Rong and Guo Fu had both heard Huang Yaoshi and Guo Juxia mention the Lingjiu Palace and remembered its name. It wasn't until today that they learned from Chen Liu that the Lingjiu Palace was a branch of the Xiaoyao Sect.

"Brother Chenliu, is there another lineage?" Huang Rong asked.

"There is another lineage, it's the Xixia Concubine Li Qiushui."

"Xixia Concubine Li Qiushui?"

Huang Rong and Guo Fu looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that the Xiaoyao Sect had quite a background.

"Let's not talk about the Xiaoyao Sect. Although the Xiaoyao Sect isn't well-known in the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty, their martial arts are top-notch. The Lingbo Weibu is one of the Xiaoyao Sect's most advanced light skills. The Lingbo Weibu footwork is based on the directions in the I Ching. If you're familiar with the I Ching, it's easy to learn how to do it. If you're not familiar with the I Ching, you need to practice more. It's best to learn more about it."

Huang Rong, whose family background was rich in knowledge, was extremely familiar with arithmetic and the I Ching, and she quickly mastered it. Guo Fu, though a bit clumsy, was also a relatively slow learner due to her father's strict treatment of her since childhood. Mu Nianci, who had been traveling with her adoptive father, Yang Tiexin, and had little knowledge, was the slowest learner. However, Chen Liu did not become impatient, but patiently taught her step by step. He would not let such a good opportunity to interact with Mu Nianci pass by.

Chen Liu even took the opportunity of teaching to have some conflicts with Mu Nianci... ahem, hands-on teaching!

Huang Rong couldn't stand it any longer. She thrust her hand between Chen Liu and Mu Nianci, pushed Chen Liu aside and said, "Brother Chen Liu, please move aside. How can you touch a girl's hands and feet? Sister Nianci is still a virgin. If you touch her, how can she get married? I've learned it. I'll teach you."

Mu Nianci looked a little shy, lowered her head and said nothing, but in her heart she was also blaming Huang Rong, "Why are you causing so much trouble?"

Chen Liu:......

What the hell is this girl saying? Huang Rong is just jealous. I haven't even considered developing a relationship with her yet, but she's already been so defensive about other girls, preventing me from interacting with them. If we were to become lovers, wouldn't she be staring at me all day, not even allowing me to look at other women? So, women who want to monopolize someone are unacceptable! I'm so smart.

Huang Rong:......

Mu Nianci: ...

Guo Fu: ...

Huang Rong was almost mad at herself. Am I so overbearing that I won't let you look at other women? A few glances are fine, but too much is not allowed.

Huang Rong felt somewhat helpless. She truly wanted to monopolize Chen Liu. If she didn't know how to monopolize such a special man, then she would be disrespecting her reputation as a clever and intelligent person. However, seeing how Chen Liu rejected her, she was afraid that her monopoly would be impossible. She had to at least give him some, but how much? Should she give him a concubine? Or two? Guo Fu was foolish and easy to control. Mu Nianci would need to make her willing to be his mistress.

"Brother Chenliu, I don't know how to do it very well yet. Can you teach me again?" Guo Fu suddenly said shyly.

Huang Rong:......

Whoever said Guo Fu was stupid? I'll hit him on the head.

After returning to the inn, Huang Rong was still a little unhappy. What an unfilial daughter! She actually stabbed her in the back while her mother was defending against Mu Nianci. It would be better not to have such a daughter. Xiang'er is better!

When Mu Nianci said she was going back to Gaosheng Inn to visit her adoptive father, and Chen Liu was going with her, Huang Rong reluctantly called Guo Xiang and Guo Fu over, keeping them away from Mei Chaofeng. As for Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo, they were unimportant. If they weren't also able to hear Chen Liu's thoughts, Huang Rong wouldn't have bothered to bring them along.

"I've been analyzing Brother Chen Liu's situation lately. What kind of person can hear his innermost thoughts?" Huang Rong said to Guo Fu and Guo Xiang directly. "I've summarized a few points. First, they must be the heroines and supporting characters who appear in the original novel that he knows. Second, they must be beautiful, at least one in a hundred. Third, they must be single. I don't know if there are other conditions. If even one of these three conditions is not met, then Brother Chen Liu's innermost thoughts cannot be heard. For example, Bao Xiruo is very beautiful, but she already has a husband, so she can't hear Brother Chen Liu's innermost thoughts. For example, my senior sister Mei Chaofeng, although she was once very beautiful, is now ugly as a ghost. Although she and my senior brother Chen haven't married yet, they were once together, so she can't hear them either."

Huang Rong looked at Guo Fu, then at Guo Xiang, and suddenly asked, "Do you all have feelings for Brother Chen Liu?"

Guo Fu's face turned red and she didn't say anything.

Guo Xiang said boldly, "For someone as special as Brother Chenliu, I naturally have some thoughts! Sister Rong'er, you are my mother, you wouldn't be embarrassed to compete with your daughter for a man, right?"

Huang Rong almost died of anger. Each of these daughters was a real worry.

"Let's not talk about that for now." Huang Rong held back her anger and said, "According to Brother Chen Liu, this is a world where many vernacular novels merge together. That means there are many heroines and supporting characters, and there must be many people who meet the requirements. In the future, many people will be able to hear Brother Chen Liu's true feelings, and among them, there will definitely be people who think the same as us. Who among you has the ability to stop them from snatching it all away?"

Guo Fu and Guo Xiang looked at each other in confusion.

"We can't let all those people join us, right?" Huang Rong said earnestly, "Brother Chenliu is only one person. Every additional person means one more person to share his company. If more and more people come in the future, don't you think you'll miss out on a single day each month? Brother Chenliu will be happy, but you'll have to stay alone in your empty room! Is this the life you want?"

Guo Fu and Guo Xiang shook their heads repeatedly. What a joke! Three or five would be fine, but if there were dozens, they wouldn't even get a turn once a month. What's the point of getting married?

"So you have to listen to me from now on." Huang Rong finally revealed her ultimate goal.

"Why!"

"Because I'm your mother."

"That's fake."

Huang Rong didn't refute him, but instead warned, "I suspect Ah Zhu and Ah Bi can also hear Brother Chen Liu's inner voice, as can Lin Shiyin, Xiao Zhao, Zhou Zhiruo, Yao Yue Lianxing, and so on from the Ming Dynasty. The others are easy to say, but I heard that Yao Yue is the Palace Master of the Ming Dynasty's Yihua Palace. Even if she's not a Grandmaster, she's still a Grandmaster, with extremely powerful martial arts skills and an extremely domineering personality. If she were to meet Brother Chen Liu, do you think she would come to snatch him away? If she did, how could you stop her?"

Guo Fu and Guo Xiang fell silent immediately. It seemed like there was nothing they could do.

Chapter 95 Yang Tiexin

Huang Rong had a beautiful idea. She wanted to fool Guo Fu and Guo Xiang, but the two sisters were not fooled. They knew from Chen Liu's thoughts that Huang Rong had a strong possessiveness, and even Chen Liu didn't like her very much.

While Huang Rong's arguments made sense, would listening to her help them resist the other women? Huang Rong herself wasn't much better; at best, she was a bit smarter than them. Furthermore, the most crucial factor in this matter lay in Chen Liudu's opinion. Therefore, the two sisters believed that listening to Huang Rong, who was disliked by Chen Liu, was not as good as gaining his favor, or even cultivating a good relationship with Mu Nianci.

Huang Rong's attempt to seize the initiative and thereby control Chen Liu failed at the first step. Huang Rong was indeed intelligent, but that didn't guarantee others would listen to her. Chen Liu wasn't Guo Jing, and he wasn't obsessed with Huang Rong; he had his own ideas. Guo Fu and Guo Xiang weren't his daughters, and given Chen Liu's clear lack of interest in Huang Rong, they would have prioritized their own interests.

Huang Rong felt very tired. If her two daughters could hear her inner thoughts... that would be strange. Wouldn't that mean there would be no secrets at all?

Gaosheng Inn!

"Did you really meet Guo Jing?" Hearing that Chen Liu had met Guo Jing and spent several days with him, Yang Tiexin was so excited that he couldn't control himself. His lips trembled as he asked, "How is he?"

"That's good. He learned kung fu. He has seven masters, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan." Chen Liu nodded with a smile.

"What about Guo Jing's mother?"

"I saw her too. She's doing well and is still in the desert."

"Brother Xiaotian, I finally got news about my sister-in-law and Jing'er!" Yang Tiexin clenched his hands excitedly, looked up at the sky and shouted loudly.

"What are you doing? Howling? Shouting and yelling, do you have any sense of public morality?"

Chen Liu:......

Yang Tiexin: ...

After being yelled at, Yang Tiexin finally realized that this was not his home, but an inn. His excitement subsided a little, and he looked at Mu Nianci, suppressing his excitement and saying, "Nian'er, I finally..."

Yang Tiexin's face stiffened mid-sentence. Mu Nianci was secretly glancing at Chen Liu, her face still slightly flushed. He had just found his adopted brother's son and was planning to marry his adopted daughter to Guo Jing, but he hadn't expected his adopted daughter to betray him first. Was he setting his sights on Chen Liu?

"Oh, by the way, Guo Jing is engaged in the desert. He also has a fiancée. I heard that she is Princess Huazheng, the daughter of Genghis Khan, the great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty. Now Guo Jing is the golden sword prince consort of the Yuan Dynasty." Chen Liu was worried that Yang Tiexin would arrange a marriage for Mu Nianci like in the original novel. Even if Mu Nianci didn't like Guo Jing, it would be tiring to deal with it at that time.

Yang Tiexin: ...

My heart is so tired! Even after his daughter betrayed him, Guo Jing still has a fiancée. His fiancée's status is so high. Although she is from a foreign race, it seems a bit unkind to ask Guo Jing to give up being a son-in-law to marry his adopted daughter.

"Uncle Yang, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." Chen Liu said to Yang Tiexin.

"Okay, thank you very much, little brother." Yang Tiexin quickly stood up and saw him off.

"You're welcome, just call me Chen Liu."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Chen."

"By the way, Nianci." Chen Liu turned to Mu Nianci and asked, "Are you going back to Sister Xiang'er and Sister Fu'er?"

"Brother Chenliu, you go back first. I want to talk to my father first." Mu Nianci said.

"Okay!" Chen Liu nodded slightly and said goodbye.

After Chen Liu left, Yang Tiexin sighed slightly and asked, "Nian'er, are you interested in Chen Liu?"

"Brother Chenliu is quite good." Mu Nianci blushed. She didn't give a direct answer, but it was also an answer. She said he was quite good. If that wasn't falling for him, what was he? This made Yang Tiexin even more depressed.

Yang Tiexin opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. In this era, marriages between men and women were based on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Without Yang Tiexin's consent, even if Mu Nianci was with Chen Liu, it would be an illegal affair. If Yang Tiexin was determined to break up Mu Nianci and Chen Liu, as long as he didn't agree, Mu Nianci wouldn't be able to marry, but did he really have to be the bad guy? In fact, Yang Tiexin really wanted Mu Nianci to marry his brother's son Guo Jing, but this was just his own idea. Neither Guo Jing nor Mu Nianci would necessarily agree, at least Mu Nianci probably wouldn't.

"You just met him, right? If you really like him, you need to first see clearly his character."

"Yes! I understand, Daddy. Brother Chenliu is doing fine!"

"Didn't Brother Chenliu say that Guo Jing has already entered the pass with his master? He said that Guo Jing should also arrive in Jin Dadu in the next two days. If we meet him, we will go to meet him. If not, we will go to Jiaxing to find him and see what kind of person he is." Yang Tiexin seemed a little unwilling.

Mu Nianci glanced at Yang Tiexin and thought to herself, "Father wants me to meet Guo Jing and compare him to Brother Chenliu. But Brother Chenliu probably won't go to Jiaxing. He wants to go to Wuxi, which is not far away. If I get to Wuxi, I'll tell Brother Chenliu and go with him to Wuxi to make Father give up. I wonder if Brother Chenliu is willing to do that?" Oh, right. As long as Brother Chenliu rescues my adoptive mother, I guess Father won't have time to care about me. But until my adoptive mother is rescued, it's better not to tell Father to avoid any mistakes.

Through her inner voice, Mu Nianci already knew that Guo Jing was a simple-minded but dull person, and he was not good-looking. But this is not surprising, Guo Xiaotian is just an ordinary person, and Li Ping is also a very ordinary rural woman. The genes of the two are naturally not much better. Guo Jing is just better in being simple and honest. Mu Nianci is also a face-sitter, otherwise she would not have gone against Yang Tiexin's wishes in the original book and fell in love with the more handsome Yang Kang. And now Chen Liu's appearance is also very good, plus he likes her, although he is a little lustful, but compared to this, handsomeness is still more pleasing to the eye! Even Huang Rong gave up Guo Jing for Chen Liu, would she be so stupid to pick up a man she doesn't want?

"Dad, I met Master this morning."

"Where did you get your master?" Yang Tiexin was stunned.

Mu Nianci smiled and said, "Hong Qigong of the Beggars' Sect! Daddy, have you forgotten? Back then, because I saved two Beggars' Sect disciples, Master taught me Kung Fu for three days."

Yang Tiexin: ...

After hearing what Mu Nianci mentioned, Yang Tiexin remembered that Mu Nianci had indeed learned kung fu from Hong Qigong of the Beggar Gang for three days. It was precisely because of those three days of learning martial arts that Mu Nianci's kung fu gradually surpassed his.

"It's said that something happened in the Beggars' Sect, and one of their deputy leaders died." Mu Nianci continued, "Master is on his way to Wuxi now. Brother Chenliu, Sister Xiang'er, and Sister Fu'er also want to visit Wuxi. I want to go with them. If we have time, I'll go to Jiaxing with Brother Chenliu, Sister Xiang'er, and the others to visit Brother Guo Jing."

Yang Tiexin: ...

My daughter has decided on Chen Liu!

Chapter 96 Abi rebelled

"We can't wait any longer." Wang Yuyan paced back and forth anxiously. After walking for a while, she stopped and turned to Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Zhong Ling, and Mu Wanqing.

They were waiting for Chen Liu in the Deaf and Mute Valley, but after waiting for two months, Chen Liu did not come to the Deaf and Mute Valley. Whether it was Wang Yuyan, Azhu, Abi, Zhong Ling, or Mu Wanqing, they were all getting impatient.

In two months, Wang Yuyan had completely absorbed Wuyazi's seventy years of Beiming Qi, becoming a true Grandmaster, and even a late-stage Grandmaster. Combined with the power of her living martial arts dictionary, she dared to challenge even the peak Grandmasters. With such strength, few in the Song Dynasty martial arts world could defeat her unless a Grand Master appeared.

"Sister Yuyan, where are we going now? Are we going to look for Brother Chenliu? Or do something else?" Zhong Ling was already getting impatient. If she didn't know where Chenliu had gone, she would have left the Deaf and Mute Valley and gone looking for him long ago.

"I want to go to Xingxiu Sea to see my sister." Ah Zhu said.

"Then let's go to Xingxiu Sea first," Wang Yuyan said after a long pause. This was what she had promised Ah Zhu. Besides, Ah Zi was also her sister. Although they had different mothers, they had the same father. Whether out of her promise to Ah Zhu or out of her responsibility to her sister, she felt compelled to rescue Ah Zi from that bitter sea of ​​Xingxiu Sea.

"After we rescue Ah Zi, we'll go find that little thief," Wang Yuyan said to Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing. In fact, it wasn't just Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing who wanted to find Chen Liu; Wang Yuyan wanted to find him too. Of course, to question him about the rumor that had tarnished their innocence. After all, Wang Yuyan had her pride to save, so even if she was going to find Chen Liu, she had to have a reason, right? She also wanted to see Chen Liu's shock when he learned that her grandfather's seventy years of Bei Ming power had been passed down to her, instantly transforming her into a master. That would surely be quite entertaining.

As for the reason, Wang Yuyan and Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Zhong Ling, and Mu Wanqing had already thought of many things over the past two months to conceal the truth from Chen Liu. For example, after they went to look for Ruan Xingzhu, they planned to secretly rescue Ah Zi in Xingxu Sea, but then accidentally entered the Deaf and Mute Valley and were discovered by Wuyazi. As for Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing, it was even simpler. They could just say they met in the martial arts world and found out that they were Ah Zhu's sisters after chatting.

As for Murong Fu, after Murong Fu spread the news in Yanziwu that the Murong family had nothing to do with her, Wang Yuyan went through her initial despair, but as time went by, she slowly accepted it. Now Wang Yuyan is no longer the weak and helpless girl, but a master. With her martial arts training, and even her strength two small realms higher than Murong Fu, Wang Yuyan's mentality has slowly changed. She is no longer obsessed with her cousin, but wants to slap Murong Fu in the face. When she reappears in front of Murong Fu, her cultivation realm is even higher than his, Murong Fu's face must be very interesting. Wang Yuyan even wants to defeat Murong Fu in public, make him regret it, and make him lick her like a dog, but she will be dismissive. How comfortable that would be!

Although Wang Yuyan had never heard of the saying "You ignored me before, but today I've made it so that you can't reach me", that was the meaning.

With the plan finalized, Wang Yuyan, Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Zhong Ling, and Mu Wanqing packed their bags, said goodbye to Su Xinghe, who had been staying in the Deaf and Mute Valley to keep vigil for their master, Wuyazi, and left. The five women planned to go to Luoyang to buy some horses and then ride to Xingxiu Lake.

Arriving in Luoyang, Wang Yuyan, Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Zhong Ling, and Mu Wanqing went to a restaurant for dinner. They overheard the conversation of the Jianghu people who were dining there, and only then did they know that something had happened to the Murong family. In recent months, people have died everywhere in the Jianghu because of the "do unto them, do unto them" method. Murong Fu was leading his family to explain and put out the fire. But Murong Fu was alone, and the deaths were from all over the country. How could he explain it so quickly? Do you think it's like modern times where you can just make a phone call? Or take a flight? The most troublesome thing in ancient times was transportation. Just finding someone took a lot of time. Even if you rode a horse at full speed, it would take several days to get from one place to another.

Now the Murong family is in a desperate situation, and the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, Ma Dayuan, also died from his own famous throat-locking skill, which is said to be done by Murong Fu. Now many people from the Beggar Gang have gone to Wuxi, preparing to go to the Murong family's Yanziwu to ask Murong Fu for an explanation. Even the leader Qiao Feng has come in person.

Wang Yuyan, Azhu and Abi looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
