Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 53 Is Wang Yuyan my junior sister?
Li Zhaoting raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a gossipy expression, and looked at Qiao Feng with a smile.

"Second brother, why do you look at me like that?"

Qiao Feng felt a chill run down his spine and involuntarily took a half step back, wondering if something was wrong.

Li Zhaoting laughed and said, "Brother, as the saying goes, senior and junior brothers and sisters are a match made in heaven. You and Rushuang..."

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense. Ru Shuang and I only have brotherly and sisterly feelings. I have no interest in women."

Qiao Feng patted his chest muscles and shook his arms.

People in ancient times often got married early. Qiao Feng was thirty years old and still unmarried, which indeed fits the chivalrous style of "only loving martial arts and enjoying honing one's strength and bones".

but……

When you and Azhu get married in the future, I promise to play this sentence of yours on a loop during the wedding.

Li Zhaoting smiled and said, "Brother, I studied divination and physiognomy with my master in Lingnan. Your love star is shining brightly, and your eyes are full of romance. A good match is about to come!"

Duan Yu: ⊙﹏⊙?

Qiao Feng: ┐('～`；)
Qiao Feng patted Li Zhaoting on the shoulder.

Brother, you've misjudged him!
Duan Yu gave Li Zhaoting a wink. Duan Yu and Li Zhaoting were quite close, and Duan Yu knew his hobbies.

If Li Zhaoting speaks in a serious manner, spouting Confucianism, morality, and the Analects of Confucius and the Spring and Autumn Annals, most of what he says is just empty talk; nine out of ten sentences are lies.

If Li Zhaoting winks and makes faces, speaks in a flippant tone and utters nonsensical words, it's most likely the truth, and the more bizarre the statement, the more likely it will come true.

Especially the issue of "fate".

Besides "The Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat"!
Li Zhaoting was completely misled by various factors.

It seems that a supreme sage laid out a complex chess game twenty years ago that has lasted for decades.

From the Seven Eagles of Chongqing to rumors in the streets, from the highest levels of government to the farthest reaches of society, everything is within the game of chess.

Either let yourself be manipulated and go with the flow.

Either pick up the chessboard and smash it back.

If you can't overturn the chessboard by yourself, get a group of friends and family to do it together. When all the rooks, knights, cannons, bishops, and pawns on the chessboard rebel, who can stay calm?

……

The Beggars' Sect has eight branch headquarters in various parts of the Central Plains.

There are two headquarters.

One of them is located in Yueyang, Hunan, at the Junshan headquarters, guarded by the leader of the staff. It is never used lightly except for major events such as the change of the leader and the teaching of the Dog-Beating Staff Technique.

One of them is located in Luoyang, Henan, at the Luoshui headquarters. It is guarded by the Transmission of Skill Elder, who is responsible for training elites. Every year when the peonies bloom, the Beggars' Sect elders gather once.

There are two branch headquarters nearby.

Suzhou Daren Branch, Wuxi Dayi Branch.

Qiao Feng originally intended to investigate intelligence at the Daren branch, but suddenly received a message that several tough guys were forcibly breaking into the Wuxi Dayi branch, and several beggars had come to ask for help.

Li Zhaoting planned to visit a prodigy, but upon hearing that someone had come to cause trouble for the Beggars' Sect, he immediately went to see what was going on.

There is a famous eccentric genius in Suzhou.

This prodigy's ancestral home was in Sichuan, his surname was Tang, and he lived on the outskirts of Suzhou, owning both a house and land...

That's right, their family is also a branch of the Tang Clan. They later broke away from the main sect and established their own. They are skilled with guns and are relatives of Tang Zhuquan. They often grill chicken wings together.

Compared to the literary giants and masters of calligraphy and painting in Chinese history, Tang Bohu was somewhat inferior. However, in terms of fame, Tang Bohu was renowned far and wide.

If you come to Suzhou and don't visit Tang Bohu, or see the Peach Blossom Hermitage in Peach Blossom Village, where the Peach Blossom Immortal lives and plants peach trees, it would be a real pity.

Let's go another time!
Tang Bohu had eight beautiful cousins, and he enjoyed endless pleasures, spending his days indulging in a life of pleasure and debauchery. Unless the imperial examinations were approaching, he would most likely not leave the house.

He must be... blessed!

That's what the rumors say!
Lu Xiaofeng was extremely envious!
How can eight female cousins ​​be so harmonious?
Tang Bohu was truly skilled!
……

Bao Butong is arguing about the most famous quest map in the martial arts world, "Xingzilin in Wuxi City".

Bao Butong loved to argue more than anything in his life. This was not because he was narrow-minded or jealous of talent. On the contrary, Bao Butong was upright and honest and detested scheming.

In the original story, Bao Butong repeatedly argued, mocking Shaolin as a feng shui treasure land for raising illegitimate children, mocking the three great skills of the Xingxiu Sect, and mocking Murong Fu for being disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust to accept Duan Yanqing as his godfather. Every time he argued, he hit the nail on the head. If he were a wandering martial arts master, apart from his foul mouth, he would be a perfect person and do the right thing.

However, Bao Butong is not a wandering knight.

Bao Butong was a retainer of the Murong clan of Gusu, and he was to assist Murong Fu in "restoring the Great Yan". His upright and straightforward personality always seemed out of place.

The same applies to storms and evils.

To reiterate, if Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e were wandering swordsmen, they could be called chivalrous knights-errant. If you met them in a tavern, you would be willing to have a drink with them.

Unfortunately, a man's biggest fear is choosing the wrong career!

They both chose the wrong careers!

If the two of them had roamed the martial arts world, their fame would have been dozens of times greater than that of Ding Busan and Ding Busi. When later generations recall them, they would definitely be remembered as two legendary heroes of the common people.

Bao Butong was incredibly audacious. Even with hundreds of beggars wielding bamboo sticks closing in on him and three beautiful girls protecting him from behind, he still kept arguing.

The habit of arguing for the sake of arguing is something that can't be corrected.

I'd rather die than change!

Even if you throw Bao Butong into the crater and let the lava burn him for ten days and ten nights, you'll still have a tongue left.

"You beggars are truly rude! My young master went to Luoyang to pay a visit to your gang leader, but your gang leader is in Suzhou instead! This is outrageous!"

"Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong?"

"Your gang leader is a coward and deliberately avoids seeing my young master, which is fine, but my young master has traveled hundreds of miles for nothing. Who can he turn to for reason?"

"A visiting card? What visiting card? It's an honor for your gang leader that my young master pays a visit to your gang leader!"

"Who wants to bother with you beggars!"

"Your leader is avoiding battle, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice came: "Since Mr. Bao is unhappy and wants to reason with someone, I love reasoning the most. Let's have a discussion."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhaoting gracefully landed.

There were four people in front of me. Bao Butong was the one who was stubbornly arguing.

Abi, a girl from a modest family.

The lively and adorable Azhu.

Wang Yuyan, whose beauty could topple kingdoms.

These people are all famous figures in the martial arts world, so there's no need to elaborate. However, as Li Zhaoting's foot landed, he actually felt a faint sense of danger.

The source of the danger seems to be... Wang Yuyan!

Wang Yuyan possesses the most fluent and agile tongue in the martial arts world, the Barry Allen of the commentary world. Her speaking speed is unprecedented and unparalleled. She has forcibly memorized the martial arts manuals and methods of dismantling various schools in her mind. No matter which school of masters is fighting, she can act as a commentator and give a few pointers on the spot, which can greatly increase the combat power of the opponent.

In short, Wang Yuyan's speaking speed, eyesight, calculation ability, memory, and analytical reasoning ability are all top-notch in the world, but she has never liked martial arts since childhood.

Memorizing the secret manual was to help Murong Fu.

Because Murong Fu was rather petty, each time you gave him a pointer, you had to carefully craft your words so as not to hurt his pride, thus developing his excellent oratory skills.

This also cultivated another ability, one that even Wang Yuyan herself was unaware of.

That is... reading between the lines!

Identify other people's emotions through micro-expressions.

Anger is a gradual process.

Depression, anger, rage, fury, murderous intent rising within, "I'll never forgive you..."

These correspond perfectly to Murong Fu and Li Qingluo.

Many people underestimated Wang Yuyan.

Even her own mother, Li Qingluo, was no exception.

Li Zhaoting sensed danger and subconsciously looked down at Wang Yuyan, where they met eyes.

With a step, he opened his folding fan and, using the fleeting trail of light as the fan opened, carefully observed Wang Yuyan, a slight doubt flashing through his mind.

Wang Yuyan has traces of true qi on her body!

It wasn't a faint, barely perceptible true energy, but rather a pure and robust true energy. However, Wang Yuyan's main cultivation technique had an excellent concealment effect, effectively hiding the energy.

Azhu and Abi were also completely unaware of this.

Wang Yuyan who knows martial arts?
This seems to be... Wang Yuyan!

Here's a little tidbit of information.

From the perspective of "name", Wang Yuyan is obviously a better-sounding name than Wang Yuyan. Wang Yuyan sounds rather vulgar and does not match the fairy-like charm.

However, in terms of historical prototypes, Wang Yuyan is a better fit than Wang Yuyan. Wang Yuyan's historical prototype is Duan Yu's Empress Wang. "Yuyan" comes from the story of Emperor Wu of Han bestowing a jade hairpin on Zhao Jieyu, which transformed into a swallow. In poetry, the jade swallow is often used to represent concubines. From this perspective, the more vulgar Wang Yuyan is the most suitable for the identity.

"Wang Yuyan" is Duan Yu's Empress Wang.

"Wang Yuyan" is Duan Yu's inner demon.

A flurry of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Zhaoting gave a polite bow, saying, "Greetings to the three young ladies."

When Duan Yu saw Wang Yuyan, his heart stirred, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes, which then turned somber.

Wang Yuyan didn't even look at Duan Yu.

His eyes held a hint of malice.

Leaving aside martial arts skills, knowledge, and character, in terms of appearance alone, Duan Yu is by no means inferior to Murong Fu. However, Murong Fu is aloof towards Wang Yuyan, while Duan Yu has a "fairy sister" filter for her, giving the impression of a clingy leech that easily arouses dislike.

Bao Butong took half a step forward, puffed out his chest, and knowing he couldn't beat Li Zhaoting, he still didn't back down.

Why is Young Master Li in Wuxi?

"I was bored, so I went out for a trip."

"Just for fun?"

"Above there is heaven, below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou. I was born to love traveling and sightseeing, and I want to see all the famous mountains and rivers."

"This is Wuxi!"

Wuxi and Suzhou are adjacent to each other.

"No, no, what I mean is, this is a branch of the Beggars' Sect. What brings you here? Is it for a martial arts contest to find a wife? Does the Beggars' Sect have beauties?"

"No, no, Mr. Bao, this is a branch of the Beggars' Sect. As the host, the Beggars' Sect has not expressed any opinions, so who gives you the right to issue orders?"

"No, no! Young Master Li came with this good-for-nothing Duan. Clearly, he's not here for sightseeing. The young master is lying right off the bat. I can't stand it!"

"No, no, Duan Yu is exceptionally talented, far surpassing Murong Fu in both learning and character. Calling him a 'good-for-nothing' is clearly an insult. Does Mr. Bao want to get beaten up?"

“No, no…”

Bao Butong racked his brains to argue.

Arguing can be beneficial.

At least I don't have to worry about Li Zhaoting suddenly attacking me.

Bao Butong is not afraid of being beaten.

He worried that Wang Yuyan and others would be caught in the crossfire.

While Li Zhaoting was verbally arguing, he was actually observing Wang Yuyan out of the corner of his eye, trying to find out if she had a master.

Wang Yuyan has an exceptionally high talent for martial arts.

I remember someone analyzing in my past life that if Wang Yuyan learned martial arts like the Dugu Nine Swords or Mount Tai, she would definitely rank in the top ten in the martial arts rankings of Tianlong.

It is known that Wang Yuyan does not like learning martial arts, but she possesses superb martial arts skills and can pose a threat to Li Zhaoting to a certain extent. Her foundation is very solid.

Reasoning: Someone forced Wang Yuyan to learn martial arts.

Analysis: The master likes to force people to do things they don't want to do.

Conclusion: Is Wang Yuyan my junior sister?
Master, are you trying to kill me?
