Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 135 I bet Murong Fu will use Wang Yuyan to woo me

Li Shengnan sat leisurely on a tree, holding a scroll of secret manual in her hand. This manual was found in the underground palace and was compiled by several experts at the request of Ouyang Ting.

Since these masters came from different sects, this manual was not a systematic manual, but more like a general outline jointly signed by all. Based on the general outline, corresponding martial arts techniques were derived to enhance combat power.

In addition, Li Shengnan also selected two weapons from the armory: the Autumn Water Dagger and a deadly poison weapon that was as famous as the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles.
—A needle that pierces the heart and shatters the heavens!
Li Zhaoting also selected a few items from the treasure vault.

The most beautiful item is a golden dragon whip called the Nine-Appearance Divine Dragon Demon-Slaying Whip, which has nine wonderful uses.

Its entire body is covered in scales, sticking to weapons.

The weapon spun around, catching the hidden weapon.

Dragon horns split, restraining the whip rope

The dragon's tongue extends straight out, striking pressure points.

The dragon opened its mouth, seizing swords and knives.

A pair of dragon eyes are like thunderbolts.

The dragon's mouth shot out the Meridian Heart-Searching Nail.

Its entire body is covered in dragon scales that can shoot out.

In addition, it is a whip that is two zhang long.

This long whip is perfect for Blue Phoenix.

Only Lan Fenghuang, who comes from the Five Poisons Sect and is skilled at using poison and hidden weapons to ambush people, can fully unleash the power of the Nine Manifestations Divine Dragon Ghost-Slaying Technique. Other whip masters, such as Huangfu Changhen, are too upright and honest in their personalities, and their moves are not ruthless enough, which weakens the power of the weapon.

The Nine-Appearance Divine Dragon Demon's Sorrow is not for serious whip masters. Its main technique is to injure people with hidden arrows. If one's character is too good, it is better to use an ordinary cowhide whip.

"Li Zhaoting, what are your plans?"

"Of course, we should return to the capital."

Aren't you going back to Jinling?

"The ancestral home hasn't been fully renovated yet, so there's nowhere to stay if we go back now. Let Qu Feiyan keep an eye on it. I'll send her a few divine weapons later as compensation."

"Your attitude towards taking care of the child is really perfunctory."

"I don't want my child to become like Murong Fu."

"Is there anything wrong with Murong Fu? Although his martial arts are not as good as yours, he is excellent in other aspects. There are not many young talents in the entire martial arts world who are better than him."

"Murong Fu is being driven crazy by his parents."

"Nonsense, his father has been dead for twenty years!"

Have you ever heard of faking your death to escape?

"Murong Bo isn't dead?"

“He appeared at Daxiangguo Temple a month ago and colluded with Kumārajīva. Qiu Batian was his subordinate. I did not fight with him, but only captured Qiu Batian.”

"Qiu Batian deserves to die!"

Li Shengnan's eyes turned cold and sharp.

Anyone with a modicum of conscience would feel that Qiu Batian deserved to die after hearing about his actions.

Even someone as lawless and unscrupulous as Gu Jianhun, if he knew of Qiu Batian's evil deeds, would have cleaved him in two with a single sword strike, followed by a palm strike.

They were blasted into mincemeat and thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves.

Why not feed the dog?

Because dogs like to eat "conscience".

Qiu Ba breeds bad seeds every day; he has no conscience.

Why did Murong Bo fake his death?

"Promise you won't laugh."

"I am the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult, and I have undergone rigorous training. No matter how funny it is, I will definitely not laugh."

"Murong Bo wanted to revive the Yan state."

"The State of Yan? Which State of Yan? Jing Ke?"

Li Shengnan was not illiterate like Mei Chaofeng, but her main focus was on martial arts. She had never read history books, and when the Yan state was mentioned, she subconsciously thought of Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin.

"Not this Yan state."

"Are there other Yan states?"

"You should have heard of the ancestor of the Yan state during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Murong Chui, the Northern Overlord Spear!"

"Murong Chui? If I remember correctly, when Murong Chui fought Yan Fei, it seemed to be... anyway, it was several hundred years ago, before the Sui Dynasty even existed!"

"More than 600 years ago."

"The Xianbei royal family from over six hundred years ago? They want to restore the Yan Kingdom in the Central Plains? Are they out of their minds? Don't they know how xenophobic the martial arts world of the Central Plains is?"

Li Shengnan laughed so hard she could barely breathe.

Li Zhaoting looked at Li Shengnan with a face full of regret.

You said you were rigorously trained so that you wouldn't laugh no matter how funny the joke was.

Why are you laughing now?
Shouldn't you give me some compensation?

It's very difficult to completely suppress laughter.

The more I tried to suppress my laughter, the less I could.

Unless the acupoints are forcibly sealed.

This can harm the body.

It's really not worth hurting your health over such a small thing. Li Shengnan laughed unrestrainedly until her muscles ached and her bones were weak before she could barely stop.

"The Yan state was destroyed several times, and several emperors came and went in just a few decades. There was the Former Yan, the Later Yan, and finally the Southern Yan, which was destroyed by Liu Yu. Liu Yu killed three thousand members of the Xianbei royal family, and the royal family should have been wiped out."

"Which branch of the family does Murong Fu belong to?"

“He is not from any lineage. He is a tool cultivated by Murong Bo, a tool for restoring the country. He has no independent thoughts, only the obsession with reviving the Yan state.”

"No wonder you never worry about Murong Fu."

Why should I worry about him?

"I'm worried that Murong Fu will surpass you."

"With Murong Bo around, it's absolutely impossible. If offering Wang Yuyan could win me over, Murong Fu would give her to me without hesitation, and also send Abi as part of her dowry, because my value is higher."

"Really? I don't believe it!" "This will be proven true sooner or later."

"On what basis does Murong Fu verify this matter?"

"Because Murong Fu was defeated by Gu Jianhun, his reputation in the martial arts world plummeted. I captured Gu Jianhun alive, and my reputation in the martial arts world soared. He is very dissatisfied now, but Murong Bo will teach him to be patient and to learn to be respectful to the virtuous and talented, and to recruit talents at all costs. It seems that the only one who can move me is Wang Yuyan."

"Hmph! The analysis seems reasonable, but it's actually utter nonsense. Wang Yuyan is his cousin, not his possession. Why should she be at his mercy?"

"We'll see."

"What do you want to bet on?"

"If Miss Li loses, I will give you a pair of specially made shoes. You should wear them to dance. Don't worry, they are very beautiful shoes and will not damage your delicate feet."

"In return, if you lose, you wear my clothes and dance, perform the Ambush from Ten Sides."

"make a deal!"

"High-five as a pledge."

"Snapped!"

Two palms clapping together.

Li Shengnan drifted away.

Li Zhaoting went to the Emei Sect to say hello, then rode his old wine horse away from Emei and went to the Salt Gang. The Salt Gang leader election had already ended, and Cheng Huaixiu had been successfully re-elected.

Previously, they thought Li Zhaoting was "unworthy of his reputation" and didn't have the ruthless brothers he was rumored to be. But after hearing about the horrific massacre that had occurred in Emei, they were terrified.

This guy is a born devil!

Even Samantabhadra Bodhisattva could not suppress his demonic nature.

Why is the Salt Gang unharmed?

Could it be that the gang leader knows how to suppress demons?

Cheng Huaixiu, dressed in a white long dress, was stunningly beautiful, like a fairy, and possessed the ability to subdue demons.

Li Zhaoting was one of those who were "subdued".

After Li Zhaoting left Emei, Xiaoyuer and the others left one after another. Xiaoyuer went on a training journey in the martial arts world, and Zhang Jing followed him. In fact, the outside world thought that Yan Nantian was killed by villains, but Yan Nantian did not die. However, Yan Nantian was tortured by villains and became a living dead.

Fifteen years ago, Jiang Qin tricked Yan Nantian into entering the Valley of Villains. When Yan Nantian was searching for his enemies, he fell into Tu Jiaojiao's trap and had his acupoints sealed.

The ten villains, in order to test their skills, took turns torturing Yan Nantian, using all sorts of cruel methods to torment him, but they could not kill him.

Whoever kills him loses!
Yin Jiuyou's Yin Wind Soul Searching Hand, Tu Jiaojiao's Soul-Stealing Beauty Skill, Li Dazui's Bone-Scraping Knife, Du Sha's Blood Hand Drilling Heart, and Haha'er's Marrow Cleansing and Brainwashing were used in turn seven times, destroying Yan Nantian's lung meridian, spleen meridian, heart meridian, kidney meridian, pericardium meridian, triple burner meridian, gallbladder meridian, and liver meridian, thus crippling all his martial arts skills.

Wan Chunliu lied and said he wanted to use Yan Nantian to test medicine and save Yan Nantian's life. Coincidentally, Yan Nantian was a disciple of the Iron Blood Banner Sect and majored in the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill".

The Wedding Dress Divine Skill is a unique skill that requires destruction before creation. To master the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, one must abandon their martial arts when they have reached 70% proficiency. To use its benefits, one must first blunt its edge.

Disabling martial arts skills will preserve the foundation, which can be used to repair the meridians until the martial arts reach a higher level.

Yan Nantian didn't wake up because the injuries he sustained were too severe, not because he was truly unable to wake up.

Once Yan Nantian's meridians are fully repaired, he will be able to utilize the "rebirth after destruction" characteristic of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, and within six months at most, he will be able to recover his peak power.

Xiaoyuer had never heard of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill. The reason he kept Yan Nantian's information a secret was because he was worried that Zhang Jing would rashly enter the Valley of Villains and eventually get trapped inside.

The same applies if Li Zhaoting is not asked for help.

The villains in the Valley of Villains may not be highly skilled in martial arts, but they are full of treacherous schemes, insidious and ruthless. Even a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Gang would be outmaneuvered by them.

Rather than waiting for outsiders to rescue them, it's better to look forward to Wan Chunliu's treatment. Once Yan Nantian wakes up, with his unparalleled martial arts skills, he will have a good chance to break out.

……

night.

Li Zhaoting was fast asleep in the inn.

Jiang Yuyan slept in another guest room.

Jiang Yuyan had heard people talk about Li Zhaoting and knew that he was a womanizer with countless lovers. She thought that Li Zhaoting would ask her to serve him in bed, so she was already prepared.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhaoting was a very gentlemanly person.

Some of the virtuous men are "not worthy of their name".

This made Jiang Yuyan feel empty.

"Crench!"

The window is open.

Wearing a mask, Ke Baisui nimbly slipped in.

Jiang Yuyan hurriedly knelt down: "Greetings, Master! This servant's undercover mission has failed. Please punish me!"

Ke Baisui sneered, "Punishment? How dare I punish Miss Jiang? If you go to Li Zhaoting to complain while you're covered in wounds, how will I survive!"

"The slaves dare not!"

"Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?"

“This servant…this servant’s father, Jiang Biehe, had no grudge against Li Zhaoting, yet he ruined his reputation and caused his death. If we don’t avenge this, we will be unworthy to be his children.”

Jiang Yuyan suddenly thought of a reason.

One reason that Ke Baisui would definitely agree with.

The hatred between parents and children is irreconcilable.

Li Zhaoting killed Jiang Biehe. As Jiang Biehe's daughter, didn't Jiang Yuyan want revenge?

Ke Baisui nodded secretly.

A fierce glint flashed in Jiang Yuyan's eyes.

Jiang Yuyan was not a delicate little rabbit; she had no feelings for Jiang Biehe, only hatred.

Jiang Yuyan's mother was Jiang Biehe's mistress.

After her mother's death, Jiang Yuyan took the keepsake and sought refuge with Jiang Biehe. She was first treated as a maid, and then thrown to Ke Baisui as a "hostage." Serving tea and water was not difficult, but the problem was that Ke Baisui was capricious and liked to humiliate and insult her. His words were like knives that cut to the heart. Every time she was punished by Ke Baisui, her hatred would increase by two points.

Jiang Yuyan secretly vowed that one day, when she mastered advanced martial arts, the first person she would kill would not be Ke Baisui, but Jiang Biehe. She would personally destroy everything Jiang Biehe had and let him die in despair.

Jiang Yuyan felt no resentment whatsoever towards Li Zhaoting's murder of Jiang Biehe; on the contrary, she felt a great sense of satisfaction.

If Li Zhaoting could help kill Ke Baisui, that would be even better; this matter requires careful planning.

Ke Baisui said, "Yu Yan, the mission has been changed. You are now an undercover agent for Li Zhaoting. You are his maid, so don't do anything out of line. First, gain his trust."
