It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

As expected, after hearing the announcement, Wu Xingyun agreed to see him. They soon arrived at the main hall, and upon seeing Wu Xingyun sitting on the throne, Zhou Ye bowed and said, "Greetings, Granny Tong."

Wu Xingyun nodded, then looked him up and down before suddenly saying, "My Xiaoyao Sect has long since gone into seclusion. How did you, a junior, find out?"

"I had a stroke of luck in the cave at the foot of the cliff in Wuliang Mountain, and I also learned some things."

Wu Xingyun snorted coldly. She knew that place; it was where her junior brother and that bitch had their tryst. Just thinking about it made her feel bad, and her tone turned colder: "Our Xiaoyao Sect values ​​appearance most when accepting disciples. You are too tall and too strong. You do not meet the requirements for our sect's disciples. Go down the mountain."

Good guy!

This old woman's brain is even more bizarre than mine; she actually thinks I've come to become her apprentice?

What's most infuriating is that not only did she not get any attention, but she was also looked down upon?

Zhou Ye was amused and annoyed: "Grandma Tong has misunderstood. I'm not here to become your apprentice. I want to make a deal with you."

"you?"

One word is worth a thousand words, perfectly expressing the disbelief.

"Yes, that's me. For example, I can heal Granny Tong's external injuries in exchange for several martial arts skills from the Xiaoyao Sect, such as the Lesser Formless Skill, the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, and the Life and Death Talisman."

Wu Xingyun sat up straight immediately, her eyes flashing with a sharp light as she looked at Zhou Ye and said, "This is the ultimate skill of my Xiaoyao Sect. You think you can just take it all with a single word?"

"It's a change."

Wu Xingyun's smile grew even colder: "Grandma doesn't have any external injuries."

Zhou Ye laughed too: "It'll be here soon..."

When the Life and Death Talisman failed, the White Rainbow Palm Force failed, and even a palm strike on that suddenly black and shiny head failed, Wu Xingyun knew that this young man was truly after the cultivation technique.

The Twenty-One Great Sharp Blade was custom-made by Zhou Ye into the style of a Tang Dynasty sword. However, his swordsmanship... was hard to describe. If it weren't for his unpredictable movements, that strike would have missed. Even if it had hit, it would have only broken the skin due to his protective inner energy.

But tell me, is this an external injury?

They're bleeding!

The fight was extremely boring, at least that's how Wu Xingyun felt, because she was very unhappy with it: "I've never seen your external martial arts before? Also, have you only ever practiced external martial arts all your life?"

While treating her with a smile, Zhou Ye demonstrated his superb surgical skills and replied, "It's not that I can't learn anything else. Since you've come to your esteemed sect, I won't force you to do anything else. Just let me copy down those few skills by hand and take them with me."

Wu Xingyun narrowed her eyes: "Grandma, what if I don't agree?"

"Then let's go to Western Xia to find Senior Li."

"No!"

This is the thing Wu Xingyun can't stand to hear the most.

Zhou Ye looked troubled: "Senior, you've put me in a difficult position. Looking across the entire world, only the martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect are worthy of my attention. As for the others... tsk!"

Wu Xingyun laughed, a somewhat complex laugh that Zhou Ye couldn't discern anything from. He recognized the laugh as something similar from his past life, when he was on official business at a mental hospital. Apparently, the patient who laughed was a murderer...

"Okay, Grandma, I'll do as you wish, but I have a request: you have to help Grandma once in the future!"

Wu Xingyun had also made up his mind. Once he had recovered enough, he would take this kid with him and use him as a meat shield to fight to the death against that bitch Li Qiushui!

"No problem!"

Wu Xingyun's expression changed again: This guy... agreed too quickly.

Zhou Ye understood the meaning in her eyes and said with a smile, "Don't hide it from me. I had thought it all out before I came. What you mentioned is the simplest thing I imagined. Besides, I've taken so many of your martial arts skills, so it's only right that I help you this once. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't repay kindness."

Wu Xingyun: ...That's too little.

As a senior figure in the martial arts world, Wu Xingyun was very responsible. She gave Zhou Ye all the Lesser Formless Skill, the Heavenly Mountain Plum Blossom Hand, and the Life and Death Talisman that he wanted. She even provided food and lodging for Zhou Ye while he was copying books, and the young girls who came to take care of him were all very pretty.

How could a tall, strong young man, at the age when his youthful energy is bursting, possibly resist?

Honestly, if Zhou Ye didn't know what kind of person Wu Xingyun was, he might have really been unable to resist, but now, he wasn't going to fall for this old hag's tricks.

He spent a day copying all the books, and then spent five more days following Wu Xingyun, explaining and marking all the difficult points. After leaving a note, he quietly went down the mountain.

Before dawn, in the middle of the night, the note was delivered to Wu Xingyun. The old lady, who was over ninety years old and almost a hundred, laughed in anger after reading the message on the note!

"The world is so big, I want to go see it."

"If Granny Tong has any instructions, just send someone to find me in Jiangling. My home is easy to find; just ask the Zhou family in Jiangling, and they'll know."

"Don't always have a long face, smile more. A smile makes you ten years younger."

Just these three sentences...

"Good lad, your martial arts skills aren't that great, but your agility is pretty good."

Wu Xingyun was well prepared. He would use the most beautiful maids in the palace. If Zhou Ye still wanted to leave, he would be discovered by the hidden agents, and then a ragged girl would come out to stop him.

But what I didn't expect was that when this kid was fighting me, he was as still as a wooden stake, yet his lightness skill was so good that he managed to avoid all the hidden stakes.

Alright, let's go then. It's not the right time yet. Once I'm ready, I'll take this kid to Li Qiushui and use him as a hidden weapon!

Zhou Ye had no idea what sinister intentions Wu Xingyun might have; he was genuinely happy.

They've added quite a few more cards to their deck!

The only pity is that when facing Xiao Fang, Tongzi did not give any prompts, and along the way, there was no one who could trigger Tongzi's actions. His crew size remained at six, four short of the goal of reaching ten.

Being away from home for so long didn't bother him physically, but he just couldn't shake off his unease. So Zhou Ye sped up his pace and finally returned to Jiangling ten days later. He couldn't even wait for the city gates to open, so he used Moonwalk to enter the city under the moonlight and landed right at home.

Hearing the commotion, Lianxing came out to take a look. When she saw that it was him returning, she smiled and greeted him. Zhou Ye went back to his room and fell asleep immediately.

For the first time, I discovered that dreams can smell sweet, and they're quite soft...

Urged on by his bladder, Zhou Ye had to wake up. The moment he opened his eyes, he met a pair of large, bright eyes. Huang Rong looked at him with a smile and said, "Tell me, if my father saw us like this, wouldn't he break your legs?"
