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

The saying goes, "All the people in the world are busy seeking profit, and all the people in the world are busy seeking profit." The ultimate goal of fame is profit, and with fame comes profit.

Sun Baifa suddenly revealed that Chen Liu might be Dugu Qiubai's disciple, and then the rumor spread that Chen Liu was Dugu Qiubai's only disciple. Dugu Qiubai was an old-generation Celestial Being in the Song Dynasty, and had been absent for a long time in order to break through the Celestial Being realm. Now that his successor had suddenly appeared in the Ming Dynasty, those seeking fame and fortune immediately heard the news and began to search for Chen Liu. These people were not here to duel swordsmen, but to seek fame. And among them were many disciples of famous families and wealthy people.

Chen Liu was too conspicuous, and it was not difficult to find him because there were more and more beauties around him, even Lian Xing from Yihua Palace came to his side. This also made people believe that he was a disciple of Dugu Qiubai, otherwise how could he attract Lian Xing, the second master of Yihua Palace?

Not long after Chen Liu returned to the yard, someone came to challenge him to a sword fight. In order to prevent Chen Liu from refusing, he called his friends and invited a group of people from the martial arts world to witness it.

The door of the courtyard rented by Chen Liu opened, but it was not Chen Liu who walked out, but Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo.

"Who wants to challenge Brother Chen Liu?" shouted the youngest Lu Wushuang.

"Me!" A young swordsman stepped forward, cupped his hands proudly, and said, "I am Yang Lin, the young master of Hanmei Villa in Yangzhou."

Lu Wushuang shouted, "My brother Chen Liu said that if you want to challenge him, you have to defeat us first."

As he spoke, Lu Wushuang drew his sword and made the starting stance of the Yuenu Sword.

Lu Wushuang originally wielded a knife, but when she saw Chen Liu and Wang Yuyan and other women using swords, she also switched to swordsmanship. Although Lu Wushuang is young, these famous women in the original novels are actually quite talented. The key is to meet a famous teacher and have a good martial arts method.

As for swordsmanship, Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo both learned the Yuenu Sword modified by Chenliu. As for internal skills, they practiced the first-class internal skills "Bishui Jing" in the Langhuan Jade Cave.

The Divine Art of the North Sea is a martial art inherited from the Xiaoyao Sect's leader, and Wang Yuyan would never allow anyone else to learn it. Chen Liu obtained the Divine Art of the North Sea and taught it to Zhong Ling, who in turn taught it to Mu Wanqing. She didn't say anything, as Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing were both her sisters. But she was unwilling to teach it to anyone else, even Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, who were currently practicing the "Small Wuxiang Gong." However, the "Small Wuxiang Gong" was also the Xiaoyao Sect's ultimate martial art, and Wang Yuyan wouldn't teach it to anyone outside the Xiaoyao Sect.

Hong Lingbo was Li Mochou's apprentice. Even Li Mochou lacked any good internal cultivation techniques, and the ones she taught Hong Lingbo were even worse. Therefore, Wang Yuyan selected the "Bi Shui Jing" (The Water-Clearing Sutra) from the Langhuan Jade Cave and taught it to Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang. While the "Bi Shui Jing" wasn't a top-tier technique, it was far superior to the one Li Mochou had taught Hong Lingbo, and could even be cultivated to the Xiantian stage.

"I'm here to challenge Young Master Chen Liu, not to bully little girls." Yang Lin saw that Chen Liu didn't come out, but instead sent out two little girls. He immediately felt offended and his anger rose.

Lu Wushuang shouted, "Our martial arts were all taught by Brother Chen Liu. Even if we two attack together, we can't stop even a single move from him. If you can't even defeat us, you'd better go back as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment."

Chapter 153 Qu Feiyan (Part )

"Husband, you let Wushuang and Lingbo go out to fight the enemy. Aren't you afraid that something might happen to them?"

"Don't be afraid, they're actually quite strong. Wushuang and Lingbo have been practicing the Yuenu Swordsmanship for a while now, sparring with each other daily, and they've become quite proficient in it. Furthermore, they both drank the blood of the precious snake, which boosted their internal energy for several years. Wushuang has now opened up six meridians, and her strength has reached the peak of a second-rate warrior. If anyone dares to underestimate her, even a first-rate expert would fall flat on their face.

Plus, with Lingbo looking after them, who is already a top-tier expert, if the two of them cooperate in using the Yuenu Sword, it would not be easy for a top-tier expert to defeat them."

While Chen Liu's improved Yuenu Swordsmanship wasn't without flaws, it was far more powerful than the original Yuenu Swordsmanship Han Xiaoying had taught him. Even if there were flaws, they could be compensated by switching between other moves. Lu Wushuang's leg remained intact in this world thanks to prompt medical attention. Combined with Chen Liu's improved Yuenu Swordsmanship and the Spiral Nine Shadows, he shouldn't have any trouble fighting against ordinary top-tier masters.

While there are many martial artists in this world, those with exceptional aptitude are few and far between. Breaking through to the Xiantian stage at such a young age requires a top-tier talent. Even Linghu Chong, the Donghua Mountain sect's recognized leader in aptitude, is now 26 or 27 years old and still remains a top-tier post-natal master, unable to break through to the Xiantian stage.

As long as Yang Lin from Hanmei Villa in Yangzhou hadn't reached the Xiantian stage, it would have been difficult for him to defeat Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo. Chen Liu had never even heard of this man's name. He was definitely not a plot character. If he wasn't a plot character, he would have been a rare expert, let alone a Xiantian stage breakthrough. This man wasn't here to challenge Chen Liu to a duel, he was just looking for fame. He wasn't challenging Chen Liu to win, but to leverage Chen Liu's fame to enhance his own. Even if he lost, as long as he could hold out for a few more moves, he'd have something to brag about. Even a single move wouldn't have had much of an impact on him. After all, even the world-renowned Jiangnan hero, Jiang Biehe, couldn't withstand a single move from Chen Liu before being injured.

Then he can say that the great hero Jiang Biehe from Jiangnan could not withstand even one move from Chen Liu, but I could withstand two moves from him, and so on.

Chen Liu simply ignored this kind of character. If someone came to challenge him in the future, he would first defeat Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo. If he couldn't even defeat two little girls, or even got beaten by them, that would be humiliating. However, whether they were embarrassed or not was none of Chen Liu's business. Since they wanted to use him to gain fame, he shouldn't blame them for embarrassing him.

Not long after, Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo ran in excitedly and said excitedly: "Brother Chen Liu, I won."

"Oh? Did you win? How did you win?"

"Hehe, I first used the move 'White Ape Offering Fruit', then 'Jade Girl Shuttle', 'Yue Girl Unwinding the Yarn', 'Heavenly Girl Weaving Brocade', 'Hibiscus Spooning Water', and finally 'Yue Girl Chasing Souls', and he was defeated."

Lu Wushuang said this while gesturing excitedly, she was extremely excited. Although she often sparred with her sisters, this was her first time fighting with an outsider. It was said that the opponent was a first-class master of the younger generation who was well-known in the martial arts world, but she defeated him with just a few moves. How could she not be excited?

Yang Lin probably didn't expect that he would be defeated by a little girl of twelve or thirteen before he even met Chen Liu. It was really humiliating. As for why Yang Lin was defeated, the biggest reason was that he underestimated his opponent and let Lu Wushuang take the initiative.

The Yue Girl Sword technique emphasizes speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. Having lost the initiative, Yang Lin was pressed by Lu Wushuang, forcing him to react passively. But Lu Wushuang possessed more than just Yue Girl Swordsmanship; she had also mastered Chen Liu's modified "Spiral Nine Shadows." While she could only unleash two of these, using them unexpectedly left Yang Lin unable to dodge them. Ultimately, he was wounded by the "Yue Girl's Soul Chasing" technique. "Yue Girl's Soul Chasing" consisted of three consecutive strikes. Yang Lin blocked the first, but not the second and third, leaving Lu Wushuang slashing him twice. Unable to defeat even a small girl, Yang Lin felt too embarrassed to challenge Chen Liu again. He turned and walked away, covering his face.

Meanwhile, Qu Feiyan learned from Chen Liu's inner voice that Liu Zhengfeng was forced by the Songshan Sect to kill her grandfather. Liu Zhengfeng refused, and his family was killed by the Songshan Sect. She suspected that the Songshan Sect likely knew of Liu Zhengfeng's relationship with her grandfather, and that this "hands-off ceremony" was likely the final demise of both families. She was terribly anxious. However, she couldn't tell her grandfather that she could hear Chen Liu's inner voice, or she would die. Although it hadn't been confirmed, Qu Feiyan felt that her sudden death was highly likely.

Since she couldn't tell anyone about what she heard from Chen Liu, could she tell her grandfather what she heard?

Qu Feiyan was also very smart, a character similar to Huang Rong, but unfortunately she died a little too early. Qu Feiyan decided to try and see if she could say it. If not, she would think of other ways. Otherwise, if she knew the result but did nothing, she couldn't let things develop in the direction Chen Liu wanted, right?

"Grandpa, do you think the Songshan Sect will..." Qu Feiyan paused, and when she realized that there seemed to be no problem, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask cautiously, "Will they know about your relationship with Grandpa Liu?"

After Qu Feiyan finished speaking, she found that everything was still fine. She couldn't help but feel overjoyed. It seemed that the news she heard could be told.

"Absolutely not." Qu Yang shook his head and said, "We are just friends through music, and we have always been very careful. There is no way anyone would know."

"What if they find out?" Qu Feiyan asked.

Qu Yang was stunned for a moment, then began to ponder.

Yes, although he was confident that no one would know about it due to their caution, what if? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself.

"If the Songshan Sect knew that Grandpa Liu was friends with you, what do you think they would do?" Qu Feiyan guided.

"How to do it?" Qu Yang immediately thought in that direction.

"Even if Grandpa Liu said that we were just friends through music, would they believe it?"

"I definitely won't believe it." Qu Yang immediately shook his head. The world had a very clear distinction between the righteous and the evil. After all, it was because the Sun Moon Divine Cult acted too cruelly and weirdly. They would only think that Liu Zhengfeng had betrayed the righteous path and colluded with the Sun Moon Divine Cult.

"Then will they force Grandpa Liu to kill you to prove his innocence?"

"definitely will."

"Then Grandpa Liu will not come to kill you?"

"From what I know about him, definitely not."

"What if they capture Grandpa Liu's family and threaten him with their lives?"

Qu Yang was stunned.

"They, they are the righteous ones, they wouldn't do such a thing, right?"

"The righteous path? Hehe, so doing things in a righteous way means being aboveboard? Aren't there enough shady things they do?"

Qu Yang suddenly stood up and ran out immediately.

"Grandpa, where are you going?"

"I'm going out for a while. You stay in the inn and don't move." Qu Yang didn't even turn his head. He had to go see Liu Zhengfeng. This was no joke.

Chapter 154 Qu Feiyan (Part )

"Sister Feiyan, come here quickly." After Qu Yang ran away, Sun Xiaohong jumped out and waved to Qu Feiyan.

"Sister Xiaohong." Qu Feiyan is a very lively person, and so is Sun Xiaohong. After they met and chatted, they immediately felt like they were old friends and that they had met too late.

"Come on, let's go to my room." Sun Xiaohong took Qu Feiyan's hand and walked away. After entering the room, Sun Xiaohong carefully checked it and made sure no one was eavesdropping. Then she asked cautiously, "Sister Feiyan, you can also hear his thoughts, right?"

After confirming that she could talk to Qu Feiyan, Sun Xiaohong was overjoyed. She had also wanted to tell her grandfather about Chen Liu's inner thoughts, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. Chen Liu was surrounded by so many beautiful women, all of them as stunning as flowers, even Lianxing from Yihua Palace. Sun Xiaohong wondered if those women, like her, could hear Chen Liu's inner thoughts.

Sun Xiaohong wanted to verify it, but she was not familiar with those girls, so how could she ask? After thinking for a while, Sun Xiaohong wanted to ask Qu Feiyan for verification first. After all, Chen Liu had mentioned Qu Feiyan before, and she also found that whenever Chen Liu was thinking about something, Qu Feiyan would pause and subconsciously listen, so she guessed that Qu Feiyan might be able to hear it.

When Sun Xiaohong went to look for Qu Feiyan, she happened to hear her and Qu Yang talking in low voices. She pricked up her ears to eavesdrop. After all, it was a professional habit; the Sun family was in the business of gathering and selling intelligence. Although she couldn't hear it clearly, Sun Xiaohong vaguely heard words like "Songshan Sect," "Grandpa Liu," and "Kill you." She guessed that Qu Feiyan must be talking to her grandfather about the Songshan Sect and Liu Zhengfeng, and she was even more certain that she, like Qu Feiyan, could hear it.

"Sister Xiaohong, you can hear it too?" Qu Feiyan was surprised. What surprised her even more was that she could actually tell Sun Xiaohong about this.

"Sure enough, my guess was right. Sister Feiyan, you can hear it too." Sun Xiaohong lowered her voice and said, "Have you noticed? It seems we can't tell anyone about this."

Qu Feiyan nodded repeatedly and said, "I also discovered that, while we can't tell others that we can hear that person's thoughts, we can tell others the news we heard. I just told my grandfather that the Songshan Sect already knows about him and Grandpa Liu."

"Grandpa Liu? Liu Zhengfeng?"

"Yes!"

"It seems that only women can hear his thoughts. Men probably can't hear them."

"why?"

Sun Xiaohong complained: "Haven't you seen that he's surrounded by girls? And they're all very beautiful girls."

"Uh……"

It really is.

"I guess those girls can all hear his thoughts, so they stay with him," Sun Xiaohong said. "And based on my deduction, he's probably not from our world..."

Sun Xiaohong, who has been dealing with intelligence since childhood, is very sensitive to intelligence information. Although she only heard a few words, she was still able to roughly deduce the origin of Chenliu, so she immediately became interested in Chenliu.

A visitor from the outside world! Who exactly is Chen Liu? Is he an ordinary person? Or an immortal? How did he come to this world? What does he want to do in this world? How did he know about Qu Feiyan and Liu Zhengfeng's future? How did he know that Li Tanhua would give his cousin his inheritance? Did he calculate it? Or did he see the future? What else does he know? All of this intrigued Sun Xiaohong. She wanted to dig up everything Chen Liu knew.

"Let's go find him."

"Go find him? What do you want to find him for?"

"You don't want to hear more news? Like how you died?"

"Uh……"

"Like, how did your grandfather die?"

Qu Feiyan: ...

She really wanted to know! But she couldn't just ask him directly, could she? Would Chen Liu be willing to tell her? And if he knew she could hear his thoughts, would he kill her? Even if he didn't, what if he captured her? What would her grandfather do then?

"What should we do if he knows that we can hear his thoughts and wants to kill us?" Qu Feiyan asked in a low voice.

"Then just don't let him know." Sun Xiaohong said, "I don't think the sisters around him told him either."

“If we don’t ask, how will we know what we want to know?”

"It's an indirect approach," Sun Xiaohong said. "People are very strange. Since we can hear their inner thoughts, as long as we lead the topic in a certain direction, we can attract their attention and make them think in that direction."

"Sister Xiaohong, since you said those beautiful ladies who follow him can also hear his thoughts, then they are willing to let us contact him? They definitely don't want to, right? If they knew we could hear it, would they imprison us or even kill us?"

"They should have guessed it a long time ago, and they should have no ill intentions towards us, otherwise they would have come to us a long time ago."

As soon as Sun Xiaohong finished speaking, a light laugh rang out. "How do you know we didn't come looking for you?"

The window of the inn was opened and Lianxing flashed in.

"Sister Lianxing." Sun Xiaohong was startled, then blinked her eyes, and quietly tucked her hands into her sleeves. She said, "Are you here to kill us?"

"I wouldn't dare kill you." Lian Xing glanced at Sun Xiaohong's hands tucked into her sleeves, smiled softly, and said, "After all, Chen Liu thinks very highly of your grandfather. He's number one on the Weapon Chart. Even though he's only number one in one world, it's still quite remarkable."

"What do you mean?" Sun Xiaohong blinked her big eyes.

"You will know later." Lian Xing said.

Sun Xiaohong and Qu Feiyan showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Yuyan asked me to tell you a few things you need to pay attention to." Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong guessed that Sun Xiaohong and Qu Feiyan could hear Chen Liu's thoughts, so they entrusted Lianxing to tell the two of them what they needed to pay attention to.

Lian Xing is not from Chen Liu, but the Second Palace Master of Yihua Palace. She also needs to receive information from Yihua Palace and handle its affairs. Her comings and goings will not attract Chen Liu's attention. Although Chen Liu does not restrict their freedom, you have to find an excuse for Wang Yuyan, Huang Rong and others to leave, right?
