Zongwu: After reading my diary, my master's wife collapsed

Just as Ye Xiu and his companions continued on their way, a girl suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Huh? It's you?" Qu Feiyan exclaimed in surprise after seeing the other person.

Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue showed no surprise when they saw Zhong Ling. Although Zhong Ling was a Grandmaster like them, in their opinion, Zhong Ling was not a threat at all, either in terms of strength or emotion.

"Hey, um, it's me." Zhong Ling scratched his head, looking embarrassed and ashamed.

The last time she left with a determined look on her face, she was even hostile to Dongfang Bubai and the others at that time, but now, she has figured it out and is back again. She feels particularly embarrassed when she thinks about her resolute departure at that time.

If she didn't want to get more benefits from the diary, she would have to stay with Ye Xiu and build a good relationship with him, and she really didn't want to come back.

Looking at Zhong Ling's appearance, the clever Huang Rong already understood Zhong Ling's thoughts and felt that Zhong Ling was not too stupid.

After all, just learning the Bei Ming Divine Art is far less promising and potential than being with Ye Xiu.

When Huang Rong saw Zhong Ling resolutely choose to leave, she laughed and scolded Zhong Ling in her heart. Now that Zhong Ling knew to come back, it meant that she was not too stupid.

Of course, Ye Xiu didn’t know about the diary, so when he saw Zhong Ling coming back, he was particularly surprised. He was surprised that Zhong Ling wasn’t worried that Dongfang Bubai and the others would snatch her Bei Ming Divine Art this time?

"I'm sorry. I was too narrow-minded before. So I apologize to you." Zhong Ling said, bending down and bowing, apologizing sincerely.

"Judge a gentleman by your own standards? No? I am really interested in the martial arts you practice." Qu Feiyan said very lively and directly.

"..." Zhong Ling was a little embarrassed. Finally, after looking at Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, she said, "Well, if you are interested, it doesn't matter. You can't beat me anyway. As long as Dongfang Jiaozhu and Yaoyue Gongzhu are not interested, it's fine."

"Don't worry, we are indeed not interested in your martial arts." Dongfang Bubai said lightly.

Yao Yue also showed disdain for the Bei Ming Divine Art practiced by Zhong Ling.

Hearing Dongfang Bubai say this and Yao Yue's attitude, Zhong Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, before Zhong Ling came, she had already decided that if Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue were interested in the Beiming Divine Art, she would hand it over directly.

But since Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue were not interested in the martial arts she practiced, Zhong Ling simply put away the Beiming Divine Art.

"I'm interested, I'm very interested. It's so magical to be able to absorb other people's martial arts skills, and you don't have to practice hard. This is simply a magical skill, a magical skill! This is what I want most." Qu Feiyan shouted loudly.

But no matter what Qu Feiyan said, Dongfang Bubai and the others were too lazy to pay attention to her.

Ye Xiu was a little surprised. What did Zhong Ling say to Qu Feiyan last time? How did Qu Feiyan know that Zhong Ling could absorb other people's martial arts? Was Zhong Ling so straightforward? He actually told Qu Feiyan about the North Sea Divine Art?

Of course, Ye Xiu himself had no interest in the North Sea Divine Art. After all, in his opinion, whether it was the North Sea Divine Art, the Wedding Dress Divine Art, or the Absorbing Power Art, they all had flaws. But Ye Xiu thought that this was only for himself. For ordinary people in the martial arts world, the North Sea Divine Art was very attractive.

Therefore, Ye Xiu felt that Zhong Ling would not reveal the Bei Ming Divine Art.

But now, Qu Feiyan actually knows the Bei Ming Divine Art——

Ye Xiu looked at Zhong Ling and wondered if there was something wrong with her IQ. Was she a fool?

When Zhong Ling came here, in addition to being somewhat wary of Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue, she focused more of her attention on Ye Xiu.

When she noticed that Ye Xiu's expression when he looked at her was not right, as if he was looking at a fool, Zhong Ling felt a tightness in her chest and she felt like vomiting blood.

She didn't want Ye Xiu to treat her as a fool. However, it seemed that there was no way to explain it. This made Zhong Ling even more depressed.

Qu Feiyan smiled and directly took Zhong Ling's hand, wanting to whisper something to Zhong Ling.

The main reason is that Qu Feiyan still wants to obtain the Beiming Divine Art from Zhong Ling.

So Qu Feiyan pulled Zhong Ling and hid in a place where Ye Xiu couldn't see her, and directly summoned out the diary, wanting to have a confession with Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling looked at Qu Feiyan's diary, then looked at her own diary, and was completely confused.

Afterwards, Qu Feiyan and Zhong Ling talked about a lot of things, and Zhong Ling had the illusion that her worldview was shattered.

"...So, we are all sisters from now on, and sisters should naturally share. So please teach me your Bei Ming Divine Art." Qu Feiyan grabbed Zhong Ling's arm and shook it, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Zhong Lingze still found it a little hard to accept. She didn't expect diaries to be so prevalent.

On the other side, Jiang Yuyan, who seemed to be taking care of the unconscious Liu Sheng Piaoxu, narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched Qu Feiyan pulling Zhong Ling away.

Jiang Yuyan originally thought that the girls around Ye Xiu were weak because she joined late, but no matter what, she still had Qu Feiyan as a backup, or her mind control technique could still help her defeat Qu Feiyan. But if Qu Feiyan obtained the Beiming Divine Art from Zhong Ling and her strength improved by leaps and bounds, her mind control technique would be useless.

"Strength..." Jiang Yuyan bit her lower lip. She also wanted strength, she also wanted to become stronger.

Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but look at Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue in front of her. These two people were actually what Jiang Yuyan yearned for, and they were also the goals she wanted to become or even surpass.

However, as they are all owners of the diary, they cannot distance themselves from Ye Xiu in terms of favorability. Jiang Yuyan may never be able to surpass Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue.

Her goal is so ambitious, but now, she might be overtaken by that girl Qu Feiyan. Jiang Yuyan can't help but feel a little bad.

The Divine Art of the North Sea?

Jiang Yuyan wondered whether she should go find Zhong Ling and get a method of practicing the Beiming Divine Art from her.

Practicing Bei Ming Divine Art would definitely improve one's strength very quickly. However, according to what Ye Xiu mentioned in his diary, the martial arts that absorbed other people's cultivation had a low upper limit and the Qi was not pure enough.

If Jiang Yuyan really practices Bei Ming Divine Art, then she will probably never be able to surpass Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue in terms of strength, and may even be inferior to Huang Rong.

If she didn't practice the North Sea Divine Art, she would be completely left behind by Qu Feiyan, but if she practiced the North Sea Divine Art, she would not be able to surpass Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue in the future. Even Jiang Yuyan knew that people should look at the long-term. If she was really given the North Sea Divine Art, she would not practice it, but she was just in a bad mood.

She closed her eyes, put aside the messy thoughts in her mind, and opened her eyes again. Jiang Yuyan became the gentle and considerate little woman again.

Dongfang Bubai looked back at Jiang Yuyan and a smile appeared on his face.

Dongfang Bubai now only regards Yao Yue as her competitor. As for Jiang Yuyan, she knows that Jiang Yuyan is scheming, but she only regards Jiang Yuyan as a fun person because Jiang Yuyan is far inferior in strength now and poses no threat at all.

Yue Lingshan, on the other hand, had a slightly more complicated mood.

After all, as a person who came from a famous and upright family and received orthodox education since childhood, Yue Lingshan still found it difficult to accept the Bei Ming Divine Art, a martial art that she considered to be so insidious.

It is so cruel and brutal that the skills that others have cultivated for decades are simply absorbed by the Beiming Divine Art for no reason.

This is just like Ren Woxing in the past. He was the target of everyone in the underworld.

However, she had to admit that the Bei Ming Divine Art was too attractive. Just like Yue Lingshan, after getting the diary, she was only at the innate level. If she didn't have the diary, she would be a weakling even in the acquired level. If she had the Bei Ming Divine Art, she could definitely become a master in a very short time. Even her father and mother - no, her father would not be able to catch up with her.

Especially practicing Bei Ming Divine Art was too easy and simple. This made Yue Lingshan feel a little shaken.

Seeing Qu Feiyan pulling Zhong Ling and whispering something to her, Yue Lingshan gritted her teeth and forced her gaze away. She felt that now that she had the diary, she would become a ninth-level Grandmaster sooner or later, and might even become a great Grandmaster like Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue. In the end, she decided to give up the unorthodox martial arts like Bei Ming Divine Art.

After thinking it through, Yue Lingshan felt a lot more relaxed, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

……

"Your Majesty, Ye Xiu and his group are still five kilometers away from here." The person who spoke knelt in front of Murong Qiudi and reported the news.

"Yeah!" Murong Qiudi nodded, thinking about her plan, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, it was very important for her to be close to Ye Xiu. Besides, Ye Xiu also had two great masters, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, by his side.

"My Lord..." The person who reported the news was still kneeling on the ground and did not leave.

"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Murong Qiudi frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"Tianzun, Zhong Ling, she appeared."

"Zhong Ling? Where is she?" Murong Qiudi's eyes widened instantly, and a trace of anger and anxiety flashed in his eyes.

"Zhong Ling has joined Ye Xiu's team."

"Snapped--"

Murong Qiudi slapped the spy who reported the news to death. There was anger on her face. Even if she killed a person, she couldn't vent her anger: "Zhong Ling!!!"

Watching Murong Qiudi killing people, the subordinates around him remained calm. The lives of these spies were not lives at all and were not worth their attention at all.

Murong Qiudi took a deep breath and said, "Let's go! Cancel today's plan!"

"Yes!"

After Murong Qiudi left, Tianzun's men quickly began to clean up the traces. The body and even the bloodstains of the person who was killed by Murong Qiudi were also quickly cleaned up without leaving any traces or flaws.

As for Murong Qiudi, she was in a very bad mood. She had arranged everything with great difficulty. As long as Ye Xiu and the others arrived, they could proceed according to the plan. Then she could join Ye Xiu's team with full justification. Of course, she could do so by changing her name and hiding her identity.

However, the appearance of Zhong Ling meant that Murong Qiudi's plan was scrapped, because Zhong Ling knew her identity, or in other words, knew that she was not an ordinary person, so her plan had to be scrapped and started over.

Chapter 169 Zhong Ling's Troubles

"Zhong Ling, is there anything that brings you to the Ming Dynasty?" Ye Xiu asked with some curiosity.

"Um, what do you want to do? There's nothing I want to do. I just felt that I had the strength, so I started traveling around the world, and while I was traveling I came to the Ming Dynasty." Zhong Ling replied.

Ye Xiu was a little speechless after hearing this. Zhong Ling's words were obviously not sincere. If she was just traveling around the world, why would she follow them?

Especially at the beginning, Zhong Ling was very wary of them, and even escaped from them because of Bei Ming Divine Art. But later he ran over again inexplicably.

What made Ye Xiu feel even more puzzled was that Zhong Ling's relationship with Qu Feiyan and the others had become harmonious.

He was almost ready to fight and kill me before, but he suddenly became better for no apparent reason.

Ye Xiu looked at Zhong Ling and realized that she would obviously not tell him the truth, so he simply stopped asking.

As for Zhong Ling, how should I put it? Although Ye Xiu had a certain understanding of Zhong Ling because of Tian Long Ba Bu, this was a real world, and Zhong Ling's growth path was different from Tian Long Ba Bu's growth path. So Ye Xiu would inevitably be a little wary of Zhong Ling.

Of course, it was mainly because of the Beiming Divine Art that Zhong Ling practiced.

Normally, when encountering someone who practices a martial art that absorbs the power of others, most normal people would immediately become wary. Even Ye Xiu was no exception.

Even though Ye Xiu felt that the Qi in his body was pure enough, martial arts such as the Bei Ming Divine Art's Qi Absorption Method would have no effect on him. However, who could blame the Bei Ming Divine Art for being able to absorb other people's cultivation?

This is why Zhong Ling would look at the diary every day, wanting to see if Ye Xiu's favorability towards her had increased. However, she was very disappointed every time because Ye Xiu's favorability towards her had not increased at all.

The main reason was that Ye Xiu didn't trust her enough, or maybe she failed to gain Ye Xiu's trust.

If Ye Xiu didn't have so many beauties around him at the beginning, having a cute little beauty like Zhong Ling follow him would have increased Ye Xiu's favorability towards her just by her appearance. Unfortunately, that stage has passed, and there are already many beautiful girls around Ye Xiu, especially Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue, both of whom have made Ye Xiu taste the sweetness.

So now Zhong Ling has no way to gain Ye Xiu's trust. She cannot gain Ye Xiu's favor just by relying on her cute appearance.

……

"Fei Fei, I've been here for several days, but why hasn't my favorability increased at all?" Zhong Ling was a little anxious and couldn't help but ask Qu Feiyan, with whom she had the best relationship.

The main reason was that Qu Feiyan was young, and she also wanted the Bei Ming Divine Art, so she often pestered Zhong Ling and they spent the most time together, so naturally their relationship was better than with others.

"This is probably because you don't have Ye Xiu's trust." Qu Feiyan analyzed.

"I haven't gained Ye Xiu's trust - then how can I gain Ye Xiu's trust?" Zhong Ling continued to ask.

"I'm not too sure about this. But as far as I know, after Dongfang Sect Leader and Yaoyue Palace Leader entered Ye Xiu's room at night, Ye Xiu's favorability towards them increased greatly. And Jiang Yuyan, it seems that her favorability towards Ye Xiu also increased after she tried to sneak into Ye Xiu's room at night, although she didn't succeed. How about you try to sneak into Ye Xiu's room at night?" Qu Feiyan said seriously, with a cunning flash in her eyes.

Zhong Ling looked at Qu Feiyan in confusion. She didn't expect Qu Feiyan to come up with such a bad idea.

Although Zhong Ling had never experienced sexual intercourse, and even under the protection of Zhong Wanchou and Gan Baobao, she had never been exposed to this knowledge, but after traveling around the world for some time, she had more or less learned some knowledge in this area.

Now, hearing Qu Feiyan's bad idea, Zhong Ling couldn't help but feel a little shy: "How could I do such a thing?"

"Then I have no choice. You can't take Jiang Yuyan's job and wash Ye Xiu's feet, right?" Qu Feiyan shrugged.

In fact, Qu Feiyan had not yet told him an idea in her mind, which was to save money to treat Ye Xiu to a high-end brothel.

Well, this is Qu Feiyan’s idea.

Qu Feiyan had always wanted to invite Ye Xiu to a brothel, but she had never succeeded. Every time, she was even scolded by Dongfang Bubai or Yao Yue.

But Qu Feiyan never gave up.

Why didn't she give up? On the one hand, Qu Feiyan really wanted to repay Ye Xiu. On the other hand, Qu Feiyan had heard of the four great things in life: studying together, serving in the army together, visiting prostitutes together, and sharing the spoils together.

There was no way she could be classmates with Ye Xiu. She was not a disciple of Huashan Sect and had never been to school, so she could not be classmates with Ye Xiu.

Joining the army was even more impossible. After all, she was just a little girl, and Ye Xiu was also a man of the underworld. It was impossible for him to be a soldier. As for dividing the spoils, it seemed that there was nothing worth sharing. Even if he found some silver or something after searching the corpse, it was insignificant to Ye Xiu and not valuable enough.

So there was only one thing left, that was that they had visited prostitutes together. Qu Feiyan paid Ye Xiu to go to the brothel, so it should be considered that they had visited prostitutes together.

In this way, she felt that Ye Xiu's favorability towards her would greatly increase, and then she would be able to get more rewards, and her strength would become stronger and stronger, unlike now, where she was still wandering around in the acquired realm.

However, Qu Feiyan had never told anyone about this idea, and she had never thought about telling Zhong Ling because she was worried that Zhong Ling would snatch her method away.

……

Anyway, Zhong Ling just couldn't find a way to improve Ye Xiu's favorability towards her, which made Zhong Ling anxious and scratching her head, but there was nothing she could do.

Finally, Zhong Ling went to ask Huang Rong, Jiang Yuyan, Yue Lingshan and others.

There is no need to talk about Yue Lingshan. Although she is not stupid, she is not smart enough and can't figure out the reason.

However, Huang Rong and Jiang Yuyan knew exactly what was going on. However, they did not want to tell Zhong Ling that the reason was due to Bei Ming Magical Skill and some of her actions.

As a result, Zhong Ling's expression became a little ugly.

But she was unwilling to let Zhong Ling leave like this.

After all the hard work, she came here and found Ye Xiu. But she left without getting any benefits? Didn't she run from Dali to Ming in vain?
