Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 231 Murong Yan's Thoughts

The cruise ship goes upstream.

In the cabin, Murong Yan watched Lin Chen drinking a whole pot of tea like a cow, and finally she couldn't sit still anymore.

"Brother Lin, although Yunding tea is good, you can't drink too much. One pot a day is the limit. Drinking more is useless."

After hearing Murong Yan's words, Lin Chen put down the teacup with some regret.

When he drank the first cup of Yunding tea, he felt a slight warmth in his abdomen. Murong Yan did not lie, this tea was indeed extraordinary.

With his current physical strength, the pills provided by the martial arts academy to the disciples in the early stage of organ training would cause reactions to ordinary warriors after taking one pill, but they were indeed useless to him.

In the words of the dean, his own Qi and blood have far surpassed those of the average internal organ martial artist, and the usual internal organ elixirs are of no use to him.

However, the elixirs that entry-level warriors can take are mainly aimed at the martial arts will, which he cannot use. This means that he can only boil some medicinal materials into liquid medicine for absorption.

"Brother Murong, do you still have this Yunding tea?"

Murong Yan rolled her eyes in her heart. He wanted to drink and take it at the same time?

This Yunding tea was a gift from the State of Zhao to the royal family of the State of Yan. This time when she came to Canglan Martial Arts Academy, she only brought eight taels of it and had already drunk one tael.

"Brother Murong, Junior Sister Murong and I have a good relationship in the Martial Academy. I have heard Junior Sister Murong mention Yunding Tea several times. Last time, Junior Sister Murong even said she would bring me a pound of Yunding Tea."

Lin Chen spoke with a smile and lied with his eyes open. Since Murong Yan had plans for him and wanted to dress up as a man, he would just ask for a huge sum of money and not be polite.

"When did I ever get along well with you?"

Murong Yan was furious. This Lin Chen was so hateful. She had approached him several times in the martial arts academy but he avoided her like the plague. How could he have the nerve to say such things?

But she just couldn't reveal it. Once she did, her identity would be exposed. Until now, Murong Yan still felt that she was very successful in disguising herself as a man and that she had deceived Lin Chen with her fabricated identity.

"Is that so? Next time I'll ask my family to bring some Yunding tea to Brother Lin."

"Brother Murong, don't you have any now?"

Lin Chen glanced behind Murong Yan. Murong Yan was afraid that Lin Chen would notice something, so she quickly said, "There's only one box left. If you like it, take it."

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Seeing Murong Yan holding the tea box reluctantly, Lin Chen quickly took it. Murong Yan was silent for a few breaths, and after calming down her fluctuating emotions, she said: "Brother Lin, please do as you please. I want to take a rest?"

She didn't want to see Lin Chen's face for even a moment now.

Lin Chen was completely different from the one he was in the martial arts academy. His behavior had completely changed, which made her guess that the Lin Chen in the martial arts academy was just pretending to be a gentleman, but in fact he was a shameless guy.

Murong Yan stood up and walked into the cabin, where there was a bed specially for resting.

"If Brother Lin feels sleepy, there is an inner room over there for you to rest."

"no need."

Having gained the advantage, Lin Chen did not continue to argue with Murong Yan. He put away the tea box, watched Murong Yan enter the cabin, and he walked to the deck.

In winter, most of the trees on both sides of the river bank were dry and bare. Lin Chen stood on the deck, but found that a middle-aged man on the deck was staring at him fiercely.

Lin Chen did not notice the middle-aged woman when he boarded the boat, but his sharp eyes made him feel that she was a powerful person.

Are you responsible for protecting Murong Yan's safety?
"Hello, senior."

Lin Chen greeted politely, but the middle-aged woman snorted coldly. With her hearing ability, she heard the conversation between the princess and Lin Chen clearly, and was very dissatisfied with Lin Chen's shameless request for Yunding tea from the princess.

"Gu Qin, come in for a moment."

Just when Su Qin was about to teach Lin Chen a lesson, Murong Yan's voice came from the cabin.

Su Qin withdrew her gaze coldly, ignored Lin Chen, and walked into the cabin.

"Princess, this Lin Chen is too presumptuous. You are my Princess of Dayan, how dare he treat you like this? Let me teach him a lesson."

Murong Yan lay on the bed, holding a folding fan in her knuckled hands, her sleeves sliding down to reveal her fair and delicate wrist bones. She sighed softly, "The territory of our Yan State is only the size of three xingdao of Daliang. Lin Chen is the number one of the younger generation in Daliang, and Daliang has more than a dozen xingdao, not counting a few special places. In terms of status, he is not inferior to me."

"Princess, that's not the way to calculate. No matter how small our Yan State is, you are still the princess of a country. The national strength of our Yan State is not comparable to that of the three provinces of Daliang."

Su Qin frowned. She felt that the princess thought too highly of Lin Chen.

"That's just what you think, Aunt Qin. Daliang doesn't think so." Murong Yan sat up straight, looking serious: "Aunt Qin, don't forget the purpose of my coming to Daliang this time."

Hearing this, Su Qin's expression darkened. She knew the princess's purpose in coming to Daliang.

The mission of the Princess of Yan State was to join the royal family of another country, but the princess did not want to take this path, so she left the Huang Family Martial Arts Academy of Yan State and went to the Daliang Martial Arts Academy thousands of miles away.

The princess wants to find a prince consort, a true martial arts genius!

"But Princess, do you think Lin Chen can meet your requirements? His moral character is too low." "Low, then are the princes of the royal families of various countries good people?"

Murong Yan sneered, her eyes drooped, with a cold light in her eyes. After a while, she raised her head and returned to normal: "This time, the geniuses from Zheng and Xiang came at the right time. If Lin Chen can defeat these two, it might be a good idea to invest in them."

Su Qin was about to speak, but Murong Yan raised her hand to stop her: "Aunt Qin, go call Lin Chen in for me."

……

……

When Lin Chen returned to the cabin again, Murong Yan had returned to her original smiling appearance.

"Brother Murong, have you rested so quickly?"

"I felt a little uncomfortable when I first got on the ship, but now I have adjusted to it."

At this moment, the tea set on the table had been taken away, and a stack of papers was placed on it.

"Brother Lin, this is all the information about the disciples coming from the Xiang and Zheng martial arts academies this time."

Hearing this, Lin Chen's expression became serious. He picked up the paper on the table, which contained information of twelve people in total.

"Zhengguo Sihe Martial Arts Academy and Xiangguo Chaosheng Martial Arts Academy each have six disciples. In the past, most martial arts academies would bring six disciples to martial arts exchanges."

"Why six people?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"Because of the ranking competition of the martial arts academy, each martial arts academy can only arrange six disciples to participate in each session."

"Thank you, Brother Murong, for clearing up my confusion."

Lin Chen suddenly realized and began to look through the information of these twelve people carefully. In the end, he put aside the other ten files and only kept four.

Two of the four documents were marked with red circles. Lin Chen was curious as to why these two people were marked with red circles. He took the other two because the disciples on these two documents were the ones who defeated the number one people in Qingyun Martial Arts Academy and Kyoto Martial Arts Academy.

"Brother Murong, what's the situation with these two?"

Murong Yan seemed to have expected that Lin Chen would ask about the two people she had marked with red circles, and said calmly: "Hu Bing and Ben Shanlang are very likely the real trump cards of the Chaosheng Martial Arts Academy and the Sihe Martial Arts Academy."

"You mean to say that these two are stronger than those two?"

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly shrank as he pointed at the names on the two pieces of paper in his left hand. These two people were the ones who defeated Kong Qing from Qingyun Martial Arts Academy and Zhang Ming from Kyoto Martial Arts Academy.

If Hu Bing and Ben Shanlang are stronger than these two, then I may not necessarily have a chance of winning.

"Ah."

"How did Brother Murong know?"

"I...I have my own sources of information."

Murong Yan would not tell Lin Chen that this was the information collected by their Murong royal family.

Ever since she had the idea of finding a prince consort, she had been collecting information on hundreds of young geniuses from nine countries.

"Hu Bing is the last disciple of the Elephant Country's High Priest, but the news has not been leaked to the outside world. Ben Shanlang is the successor trained by the Ben Shan family this generation."

"Hu Bing practices the Hundred Elephants Fist of the Elephant Country, which has the power of five elephants. The Benshan family's body movements are considered the best in Zheng State, and Benshan Lang also learned the hidden sword from the first-class warrior Qingfu Daoke of Zheng State. He killed a martial artist who practiced Zang at the 24th level of the opening. Although it was a sneak attack, it was enough to prove his strength."

Zheng, Xiang and Daliang were on guard, but because Yan was neutral, it was easy for Yan people to travel between countries. Relying on this, the intelligence of Yan's royal family was the best among the nine countries.

"Brother Lin, do you want to know the flaws of the White Elephant Fist and the Benshan family's body movements?"

Murong Yan looked at Lin Chen with a smile. Lin Chen did not answer directly, but pondered for a while and said, "What do I need to pay?"

Murong Yan was not from Daliang, so it was impossible for her to help him deal with Zheng and Xiang for nothing. The reason why he behaved like a greedy villain before was to make Murong Yan angry, so that she would not have any ideas about him and just go to Lingxiao City quietly.

"Nothing is needed."

Seeing Lin Chen frowning, Murong Yan explained: "After all, my sister is also from Canglan Martial Academy. From my perspective as a brother, I naturally hope that Brother Lin can win."

He stared at Murong Yan for a while. Murong Yan didn't feel embarrassed at all when being stared at by Lin Chen, and seemed very open.

After a few breaths, Lin Chen made up his mind: "Then I would like to thank Brother Murong first."

"Brother Lin, please follow me to the deck!"

Hearing that Lin Chen accepted her kindness, Murong Yan smiled. Before standing up, she subconsciously wanted to lift her hair, but when her hand was halfway in the air she realized that this action was a little inappropriate, and finally put it down silently.

Lin Chen naturally noticed Murong Yan's subtle movements, but he didn't want to expose it now, so he just pretended not to see it.
