Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Li Canghai glanced at Zhong Ling's somewhat ingratiating expression and a slight smile played on his lips.

That smile dispelled most of the chill in the hall.

Li Canghai withdrew his imposing aura, and the pressure on Mu Wanqing's shoulders suddenly disappeared.

If there were any other men present, seeing this scene, they would probably forget even their own surname.

"You're a pretty sensible girl."

Zhong Ling nodded obediently, showing her understanding; she had always been exceptionally sensible since childhood.

Mu Wanqing's eyes were still not friendly as she stood up.

stubborn.

This is Li Canghai's assessment of Mu Wanqing in his heart.

However, this stubbornness reminded her of herself when she was young, when she was also very stubborn about certain things.

"What's your name?"

Mu Wanqing remained silent for a few moments.

"Mu Wanqing".

"Mu?" Li Canghai's eyelids twitched slightly. "The Mu family of Yunnan? You're from the Mu Prince's Mansion?"

"Their background isn't bad." Li Canghai didn't care much about the Mu family. The previous dynasty had been destroyed, and the Mu family and the Heaven and Earth Society were only good at fighting amongst themselves.

"Have you been out there in the world for so long that you haven't learned even the slightest bit of the proper etiquette for a lady from a respectable family?"

Mu Wanqing bit her lower lip and remained silent.

The main problem is that this woman is too terrifying. Even if Master Qin Hongmian came, she would probably be dealt with in one move by this woman.

Moreover, what this woman said doesn't seem to be entirely wrong.

She was kept in the dark about her mother's identity by Qin Hongmian from a young age, and she even followed Qin Hongmian out into the world.

She had truly lived a life of hardship, sleeping on the ground in the mountains, so naturally she lacked the upbringing of a refined young lady.

This is the first time someone has said this to my face.

Li Canghai walked back to the main seat and sat down, his sleeves spread out, his demeanor composed.

"Since you're here, why don't you stay for now? Your husband will probably be back soon. When that time comes..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "If this continues, it will be my fault as the eldest sister."

Mu Wanqing pursed her lips.

"You're Qin...you're also my husband's woman? You don't mind?"

He blushed a little as he said this, but fortunately Qin Han wasn't there, so it wasn't too embarrassing.

But how could such a capable and beautiful woman be willing to share her man with other women?!

This is different from what her master meant by being single-minded.

Li Canghai looked at Mu Wanqing with a puzzled expression.

"My husband is no ordinary man. But since he hasn't told you some things, I won't say more... You'll understand later that being his woman is a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes."

Mu Wanqing pursed her lips, somewhat disbelieving, as she had always been quite confident in her appearance.

However, after taking a look at Li Canghai's god-like appearance, well, actually his beauty is just so-so...

"Let me make one thing clear from the start," Li Canghai said in a flat tone.

"Anyone who wants to enter the Qin family must abide by the family rules. You must clearly distinguish who is the eldest and who is the youngest. This distinction is not determined by arguing or making a scene, but by your ability."

His gaze swept over Mu Wanqing, then over Zhong Ling.

"My husband already has enough on his plate outside. If things get chaotic in the backyard too, it would be my dereliction of duty as the eldest sister."

The hall was quiet for a moment.

Mu Wanqing didn't say anything more, not because she was admitting defeat, but because she was processing what she had learned.

I originally thought that once I arrived at Lingjiu Palace and met Qin Han, I could explain things to him. But I never expected to meet the Empress.

I thought I would definitely be kicked out, or at the very least, I would have to fight it out.

The difference in their fighting abilities was too great; this woman didn't even try to drive her and Zhong Ling away...

They simply set rules and didn't mind if Qin Han had one or two more women around him, provided they were obedient and knew the rules.

This attitude made Mu Wanqing feel inexplicably awkward.

"Alright," Li Canghai said to the outside of the hall, "Lan Jian, take the two younger sisters to rest and settle down."

The palace doors opened, and a woman in green robes walked in, giving Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling a gentle look.

After all, she was the master's wife, and the future mistress, so these maids would certainly treat her with utmost respect.

"This way, ladies."

Zhong Ling breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything at this time, such as "I'm not, I just came with Sister Mu."

He grabbed Mu Wanqing's sleeve and tried to leave.

"etc."

Li Canghai's voice came from behind.

Zhong Ling turned around.

Li Canghai leaned back in his seat, flipping through the three martial arts manuals on the table.

"Starting tomorrow, you two will come and learn the rules from me."

Mu Wanqing paused in her steps.

"I don't!"

"This is not something I'm discussing with you."

Li Canghai's tone remained completely flat, but the faint chill in the hall returned.

Mu Wanqing remained silent. She couldn't win a fight, nor could she win an argument, and logically speaking, she might be the one who had interfered...

I'm so annoyed!!

Zhong Ling tugged at Mu Wanqing's sleeve and shook her head vigorously, signaling her sister not to throw a tantrum at this moment.

Mu Wanqing ultimately said nothing and turned to leave with Lan Jian.

Li Canghai watched the two figures disappear at the end of the corridor and muttered to himself.

"He comes from a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world), has a fiery temper, is stubborn, and is unruly..."

The smile at the corners of his mouth deepened: "She's somewhat similar to me back then. That girl, on the other hand, is quite quirky. No wonder that wicked guy would fall for both of them."

"Wait until you get back, then I'll show you what I'm made of."

……

Qin Han, who was on his way, suddenly sneezed.

Seeing that the young master suddenly sneezed, Xiao Zhao asked with concern, "Young master, have you caught a cold?"

"no."

Qin Han rubbed his nose. How could he catch a cold with his current level of skill and power?

I just inexplicably felt a chill down my spine.

It felt like something had happened somewhere I wasn't aware of.

But I can't quite put my finger on it.

Never mind, it shouldn't be a big deal.

……

About half a month later.

When Qin Han brought Xiao Zhao into a large city in Sichuan, he sensed that something was amiss.

"Young master, this place is so different from Bright Summit."

Xiao Zhao followed behind Qin Han, her beautiful, exotic eyes curiously surveying her surroundings.

Today, she was dressed in ordinary Han Chinese women's clothing, with her long hair simply tied up, giving her a charming and approachable look, like a girl next door.

Qin Han smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Bright Summit is located on the Kunlun Mountains, very close to the Western Regions, and it had to deal with the Mongols from time to time.

Moreover, in terms of both climate and geographical location, it cannot compare with the prosperous Sichuan province.

This is the birthplace of the dragon.

The two did not rush on their journey, sending the elite followers who had come with them to contact followers in various places.

He wandered around the city like any other wandering swordsman.

The two found a teahouse by the street and sat down. Just as they ordered a pot of tea, they heard the conversation of the people at the next table.

"Hey, have you heard? The newly appointed leader of the Ming Cult, Qin?"

"How could I not hear about it? On Bright Peak, Leader Qin single-handedly fought against the masters of six major sects and managed to drive them back!" A burly man said, spitting as he spoke.
