Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

As he walked to the bedside, he gathered a barely perceptible wisp of true energy at his fingertips and gently touched the flickering candlelight in the room.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

After a few soft sounds, the cabin was faintly illuminated by the pale moonlight, the bright moon shining through the window.

The bright moonlight shines before my bed; I wonder if it's my clothes on the ground.

I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, then look down to see two pairs of shoes.

……

The moonlight tonight is breathtaking.

A gentle river breeze blew across the deck.

These past two days, Madam Ruan had been thinking about Qin Han's injuries. She figured the medicine she had sent earlier was probably almost used up, so she personally took some of the best wound medicine and tonifying pills from the storeroom, intending to send some more to Qin Han herself.

Firstly, she was genuinely grateful to him for saving her and everyone else's lives on the ship; secondly, she wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him.

For the Ruan family, befriending a young hero like Qin Han, who is highly skilled in martial arts and righteous, would be entirely beneficial.

Madam Ruan, of course, had no idea that Qin Han's actions stemmed from his interest in Cheng Ying, and even more so from his interest in her daughter whom she had not yet acknowledged as her own...

She was carrying a medicine box filled with the finest wound medicine when she walked gracefully toward Qin Han's cabin.

The sailors, maids, waiters, and guards on the ship all bowed and greeted Madam Ruan respectfully upon seeing her.

When Madam Ruan reached the vicinity of Qin Han's cabin, her steps involuntarily slowed down.

She also possessed considerable martial arts skills and could faintly hear some strange noises coming from inside the Qin-Han room.

That's a kind of... um...

A suppressed, fragmented, and intermittent sound.

Although Ruan Xingzhu married into the Chai family through a marriage alliance, Chai Shen, being the Crown Prince's tutor, could only return home a handful of times a year. Moreover, she was only the third wife in the Chai family, so they rarely spent time together even once a year.

Having been through it all, as soon as I heard that sound, I knew exactly what was happening inside.

Her face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously stopped in her tracks. She turned and left in a slightly flustered manner, then instructed the maids taking care of her not to allow anyone to approach Young Master Qin's room.

"Oh my god...they...they actually..."

As Ruan Xingzhu walked back, her heart pounded and her face flushed.

These past two days I've also been watching how meticulously Cheng Ying takes care of Qin Han.

One is a young girl experiencing her first love, and the other is a young hero who saves her from heartbreak.

The man is affectionate, and the concubine is interested.

Ruan Xingzhu had long noticed the ambiguous feelings between the two, and she was happy to see it happen.

I never expected that things would progress between the two of them so quickly!

It's only been two short days!

Right here in this small cabin, on this tranquil river...

"That's...that's incredibly bold..."

Ruan Xingzhu cursed inwardly, then quickly revealed a complex expression, a mixture of envy, relief, and a hint of hatred.

Hatred is the memory of one's own unbearable past.

She thought of Duan Zhengchun, the man she both loved and hated.

Both involve entrusting one's life to another, and both involve vows of eternal love.

But the result?

Duan Zhengchun gave her a brief period of sweetness, tricked her into having two daughters, and inflicted endless pain and waiting on her.

The incident at Qingyi Tower has made Ru give up on her.

However, the process between Cheng Ying and Young Master Qin was somewhat...

Hmm... that's a bit too unrestrained.

But at least my niece chose the right person.

Although Ruan Xingzhu had little contact with Qin Han, judging from his actions that night, where he risked offending the Qingyi Tower to save him, he was definitely a true hero who valued loyalty and righteousness above all else!

"Why……"

Ruan Xingzhu sighed inwardly, "Ying'er, your taste is much better than mine..."

With Young Master Qin's righteous and chivalrous character, he will certainly not let you down...

He thought to himself, how could someone who was willing to help a complete stranger like himself betray a woman who had entrusted her virginity to him?

He glanced at the food box he was carrying and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

It seems we won't need the healing medicine for now.

perhaps……

We should prepare some nourishing medicinal cuisine tomorrow.

While Qin Han was enjoying the bliss of having multiple wives in the lap of luxury, far away in the Guanzhong Plain, a black pot was quietly being cast on Murong Gongzi.

……

The Pavilion of Pearls and Jewels.

This seemingly opulent and extravagant establishment, catering exclusively to high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals, actually hides its true core deep within a secret, unknown chamber.

A spacious, dark room with airtight walls, except for a few large luminous pearls embedded in the ceiling, emitting a cold, eerie light that illuminated the entire room as if it were daytime.

This extravagant spending truly lives up to its name, "The Pavilion of Pearls and Treasures," reflecting its wealth and extravagance.

In the center of the dark room, there was a huge round table carved from a single block of marble.

Six people were sitting around the round table.

Without exception, all six of them wore hideous and terrifying ghost masks on their faces.

The demon masks are almost identical, the only thing they have in common is that the center of their foreheads is marked with a different number of small dots made of cinnabar.

These individuals were none other than the twelve leaders of the Green Robe Tower, a mysterious organization that inspired fear in the martial arts world.

The Green Robe Pavilion is a money-driven business. As long as you can afford the price, they will take on any task, whether it's assassinating a high-ranking official or wiping out an entire family.

Of course, if you encounter someone you can't assassinate, you can simply refuse the job...

The Twelve Masters are the highest decision-makers of the Green Robe Tower. No one knows their public identities, but each of these twelve is highly skilled in martial arts and is ruthless in order to be in this position!

Seated in the main seat was a man wearing a judge's mask. His mask was different from the others; it did not have those hideous ghost images, but only a judge's face with clear black and white lines and a serious expression. The aura he exuded far surpassed that of anyone else present.

This man was the founder and head of the Green Robe Pavilion.

The atmosphere in the dark room was very oppressive.

"Snapped!"

A hissing sound broke the silence.

A burly man wearing a demon mask with a "two" mark between his eyebrows slammed his hand on the hard marble table.

A clear palm print appeared on the marble tabletop without any cracks spreading, and the entire table remained perfectly still.

This palm strike, combining both strength and gentleness, demonstrates the purity of the person's skill and the exquisite control they possess.

"That Murong Fu from Gusu is meddling way too much!"

The masked man slamming his fist on the table was none other than the second-in-command of the Green Robe Pavilion; his voice echoed in the dark room.

"The twelfth elder was in charge of managing the various brothel owners in Henan. It's only right and proper for us at Qingyi Tower to take money and do our bidding! When did the Ruan family and the Murong family of Gusu become related? What right does Murong Fu have to interfere? If it were just a matter of standing up for justice and killing some low-level assassins, that would be one thing, and we at Qingyi Tower would accept the consequences. But he even killed the twelfth elder! Does he mean he doesn't respect Qingyi Tower at all? This debt cannot be left unpaid!"

Erpiaozi's temper was obviously extremely fiery. The "Old Twelfth" he mentioned was the same Qingyilou leader who was killed by Qin Han, who impersonated Murong Fu, on the Yangtze River a few days ago.
