Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 349 Li Zhaoting: I roam the martial world with seven weapons...

"Do you love me?"

"I love you!"

Do you love the spiritual or the physical?

"Hmm? This question... is so difficult!"

This dialogue appears in many scenarios.

This is not nonsense; this conversation touches on many issues and is worthy of hundreds of academic papers.

The Zuo and Shi families encountered this problem.

Zuo Mingzhu's body, Shi Yin's soul.

Shi Yin's body, Zuo Mingzhu's soul.

The problem is coming!

Who is the real "Shi Yin"?
Who is the real "Zuo Mingzhu"?
Which can prove identity: the mind or the body?
This question is far too profound.

Zuo Qinghou and Hua Jingong were at a loss.

The renowned healers bowed their heads and discussed medical techniques.

Li Zhaoting was deathly pale, swaying uncontrollably, his body trembling, and he could die at any moment.

How can a case be investigated under these circumstances?

The only solution is to rely on Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang roused himself and said loudly, "Give me three days. I will find out the truth within three days. For now, I will rely on the physical body. Please go home, ladies. If I cannot resolve this matter, I will take full responsibility."

"Good! You've got a lot of responsibility! As expected of Chu Liuxiang! It must be Chu Liuxiang who can investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Li Zhaoting praised loudly and led the applause.

Chu Liuxiang was somewhat dazed, feeling that Li Zhaoting was the most despicable bastard in the world. He had previously admired Li Zhaoting's heroism and chivalry in risking his life to save people, but now he felt that ghosts were everywhere and that Li Zhaoting was the king of ghosts.

What is Li Zhaoting up to?

He has no grudge against the Zuo or Shi families!

……

Shijiazhuang.

Hua Jingong and Xue Honghong discussed countermeasures.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

"What does it matter whether you believe it or not? At least Yin'er is alive. In the world of martial arts, it's good to be a little confused sometimes."

Xue Honghong has a deep understanding of the fickleness of human relationships.

Although her father was the famous Xue Yiren, Xue Honghong did not enjoy many benefits. She received strict education from a young age, practiced martial arts and studied hard, and became quite accomplished in both. However, due to her ugly appearance, no one was willing to marry her except for those who wanted to marry into wealth.

After the eldest son of the Shi family married Xue Honghong, he spent all his time with the maids. Xue Honghong was lonely in her boudoir and inevitably picked up some of the habits of certain prominent families.

The same applies to the Golden Bow.

Xue Honghong is Hua Jingong's daughter-in-law, but because of their similar circumstances, they are both quite open-minded about keeping a gigolo, and their relationship is quite harmonious.

Hua Jingong laughed and said, "Chu Liuxiang and Li Zhaoting are really handsome, they make my heart itch."

Xue Honghong shook her head regretfully: "Chu Liuxiang's lightness skill is unparalleled. Li Zhaoting is seriously injured, but he has a female overlord by his side who can move mountains and lift cauldrons. Even my father has to give way to Wang Shenglan's Overlord Spear."

Xue Xiaoren was playing nearby.

Nobody is wary of fools, madmen, or idiots!
Xue Xiaoren is Xue Honghong's uncle, but he considers himself only twelve years old, a child who needs his niece's care. Apart from swordsmanship, everything else is troublesome.

Fortunately, Xue Xiaoren disliked killing; otherwise, given his mad sword technique, he might have slaughtered entire families when he went mad.

"Was Yin'er really cured by Li Zhaoting?"

Hua Jingong found this hard to believe.

Xue Honghong explained, "My father said that when the Dali Duan family's One-Finger Divine Skill reaches the upper three levels, it has the ability to revive the dead and heal the wounded. Even a one-month-old baby can be healed with One-Finger Divine Skill. It is truly profound and mysterious."

My father speculated that the treatment method of One-Finger Divine Skill is to exchange one's life for another, which will severely deplete one's own vital energy.

If it were a 70-year-old monk from Tianlong Temple, he would be exhausted after treating each patient and would have to practice diligently day and night for five years to recover his strength.

Li Zhaoting was exceptionally gifted and had a solid foundation. With the help of the Longevity Technique, he could heal people with the One-Finger Divine Skill. Even if it took him five years, he would still need two or three years to recover.

To put it bluntly.

Aside from the miraculous skill of One-Finger Divine Skill, which divine physician could cure Yin'er and Zuo Mingzhu's illnesses?
All sorts of medicines, I vomited after taking them.

Even if you have a thousand-year-old ginseng or a thousand-year-old lingzhi mushroom, it won't have much effect. I have more faith in Li Zhaoting.

This guy is a true hero. To save people, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice his prime years. Not to mention delaying his martial arts progress by two years, Li Zhaoting has offended so many powerful forces that they will definitely kick him while he's down.

Especially the Green Dragon Society.

Several leaders died at the hands of Li Zhaoting.

The big boss wished he could skin Li Zhaoting alive.

Li Zhaoting knew he was in great danger, yet he still went to save people without hesitation. What courage that is!

Tsk tsk tsk~~
I really envy Wang Shenglan!

Being able to accompany such a heroic figure, even as a concubine or a maid, is a kind of luck.

It remains to be seen whether Li Zhaoting can overcome this hurdle.

Songjiang is a two-day journey from Jinling.

It takes four days to go round trip.

Just one day has passed, there are three days left.

Three days later, Feng Suzhen and Lan Fenghuang will arrive from Jinling to protect Li Zhaoting. In other words, if the Qinglong Society wants to take action, they only have three days.

These three days will determine Li Zhaoting's life!

As the daughter-in-law of the Shi family, Xue Honghong kept praising Li Zhaoting, and Hua Jingong, as the mother-in-law, not only did not object at all, but also kept nodding in approval.

The two chatted casually, oblivious to everyone else around them.

They completely failed to see the cunning in Xue Xiaoren's eyes.

Three days!

It will take Chu Liuxiang three days to solve the case.

It will take Feng Suzhen three days to travel.

Why are they all three days?

Back then, Li Zhaoting complained in the Sword Forging City, saying that the swordsmiths always forged swords according to the time limit, either forty-nine days or eighty-one days!
Now it seems that Li Zhaoting is no exception.

Li Zhaoting prefers "three days".

This may be due to the influence of Bao Zheng.

The teenager has a three-day catch-up plan; he'll solve the case in three days!
……

Li Zhaoting received an invitation from Xuejiazhuang.

Li Zhaoting is a rising star among swordsmen in the martial arts world. Xue Yiren is a swordsman who has been famous for thirty years.

Given Li Zhaoting's condition, martial arts and sword fighting were obviously out of the question, but if he came to Songjiang and didn't visit the Xue family, he would feel like he had wasted his trip.

Xue Yiren thought so too.

If you don't see Li Zhaoting, who became famous in the martial arts world in just three short years, you'll feel a little disappointed.

Upon receiving the invitation, Li Zhaoting gladly accepted the invitation.

Zuo Qinghou did not stop him.

After more than thirty years of fierce competition, the person who understands Xue Yiren best in the martial arts world is Zuo Qinghou. Zuo Qinghou has forgotten the source of his hatred for the Xue family, but he will not forget that Xue Yiren is an upright swordsman. The two appreciate each other.

Xue Yiren would never strike from behind, nor would he take advantage of someone in distress. If Xue Yiren were to engage in a duel, it would always be fair and just, and he would never take advantage of anyone in the slightest.

No one can run wild in Xuejiazhuang.

Even Xue Xiaoren was no exception.

It is said that when Xue Xiaoren first went mad, he swung his sword wildly, trying to kill Xue Yiren, but was easily captured by Xue Yiren in no more than ten moves.

The two practiced the same swordsmanship, and Xue Yiren was far ahead on the path of swordsmanship.

No matter how hard Xue Xiaoren tried to catch up, even if he practiced swordsmanship day and night, training like a madman, he could only watch helplessly as the gap widened.

The most despairing thing in the world is not that someone is more talented than you, but that the other person is not only more talented, but also more hardworking, more insightful, and knows how to improve efficiency in various ways, instead of just burying themselves in books.

Xue Yiren is that kind of person.

Xue Yiren, Li Guanyu, Ziyi Hou, Sun Yubo, and others were swordsmen of roughly the same era. Ziyi Hou was the most learned and talented, Sun Yubo was the most unfathomable, Li Guanyu was the most intelligent and wise, and Xue Yiren was the most pure.

The purest and most exquisite sword intent.

In that era, if one were to select the greatest swordsman in the world, Xue Yiren would have an 80-90% chance.

He was the world's number one swordsman for several years!
Later, feeling that his empty fame was a burden and delayed his sword practice, he secluded himself in Xuejiazhuang to practice swordsmanship and rarely went out.

Thirty years have passed, and this sword intent has not diminished in the slightest. On the contrary, it is like a jar of old wine, seemingly light and bland, but in fact, the sword intent has become more and more refined and pure.

Seeing Xue Yiren is like seeing a sword named "Xue Yiren". Man and sword are one. Xue Yiren has collected many precious swords, but you can tell which one is Xue Yiren's sword with just one glance.

……

Xuejiazhuang was built against the mountain, with the green mountain range winding to the back of the mountain. Stepping on the gravel path and passing through the misty garden, Li Zhaoting met Xue Yiren.

Xue Yiren had a thin face, wore cloth shoes and white socks, and a blue cloth long gown. There was nothing particularly unusual about him except for his bright, piercing eyes, which made people afraid to look directly at him.

Wang Shenglan carefully helped Li Zhaoting, worried that if he bumped into something, she would be punished by the family.

The iron box containing the Overlord Spear was placed in the gatehouse.

This shows trust and respect for Xue Yiren.

"Junior Li Zhaoting greets senior."

Disappointment is hidden in your eyes.

"The Six Doors have records of our predecessors."

According to the records, the elder liked to wear white clothes and robes. When he fought with others, the enemy's blood would splatter on his body, turning his white clothes into blood-stained clothes. He would leave behind a blood-stained robe after each battle.

Xue Yiren is actually the 'Blood-Clad Man'.

These case files are a trap!
If I were to search for someone based on the records, I'm afraid even if you stood right in front of me, I wouldn't recognize you.

"Go back and have the Six Doors change the records."

Li Zhaoting made a couple of seemingly unintentional remarks.

Xue Yiren understood the implied meaning from the song: "Master swordsmen are often skilled at appreciating swords. I've heard that the young lord of Sword Forging City is your confidante. I suppose you have a deep understanding of sword appreciation. I have collected a few precious swords for Brother Li to appraise."

"I have my wish, but I dare not ask for my ear."

"Brother Li, aren't you afraid I'll kick you when you're down? Master Wang's martial arts are not bad, but the Overlord Spear is left at the gatehouse. If I launch a surprise attack from this distance, no one can stop me."

"If Xue Yiren is a shameless villain, how could he have cultivated such a refined and pure sword intent? If I am killed by your sneak attack, it means I misjudged people and was a blind man with no eyes to see the truth. I can only blame myself for my death."

"I now think the rumors in the martial arts world are wrong. How could you, who is so easily trusting, escape the schemes and tricks of the Azure Dragon Society? Are all the members of the Azure Dragon Society useless?"

"Because when I travel the martial world, I always carry seven kinds of weapons that the Azure Dragon Society does not have, which help me to win every battle!"

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"The young master is as handsome as jade, and his smile is enough to captivate a city."

They were willing to risk their lives and fight to the death.

Be sincere and upright, and treat others with honesty.

He vanquishes evil and is imbued with righteous spirit.

Prioritizing righteousness over profit, and the bond of friendship.

Avoid arrogance and impatience, and strive for self-improvement and self-confidence.

A poignant and unforgettable love story.

A person with courage, honesty, and self-confidence can cultivate a righteous spirit that can ward off all evil. I may be charming, but I am never vulgar. I am sincere to my lovers and will go to great lengths for my friends. I have helpers wherever I go.

Moral support from many, scant support.

The Green Dragon Society is rife with infighting and backstabbing.

My family, friends, and confidantes, together, formed a powerful force to defeat the Azure Dragon Society one by one.

The twelve dragon heads are actually twelve venomous snakes.

Even in my current dire situation, they dare not join forces and only want to wait and see.

They don't even have the courage to stalk the cicada like a mantis, so how can they possibly defeat me? The Azure Dragon Society is all show and no substance!

There's nothing to be afraid of!

Li Zhaoting looked at Xue Yiren with a hint of smugness.

Xue Yiren asked curiously, "Why did you put Gongzi Ruyu first? Is that something to praise?"

"People are judged by their appearance first. Martial arts skills can be practiced diligently, and knowledge can be acquired through hard work. But if someone is ugly, then they are ugly, and that cannot be changed!"

"High, it is high!"

Xue Yiren gave a thumbs up.

Xue Yiren is also a handsome man, and he has become more and more handsome and charismatic as he has grown up.

Having good looks is a huge advantage.

However, good looks alone are not enough.

The martial arts world is not a place for reason.

Having good looks is not an advantage, but a disaster.

Before they knew it, the three of them arrived at a secret chamber in the back mountain.

Xue Yiren opened the iron gate, inside which were more than a hundred iron boxes. Some contained sharp sword energy, while others had no energy at all and looked ordinary.

Some of them are swords.

Some of them were covered in blood!
