Martial Arts Crossover: Zhao Min, your sidekick is really something else.

He just wanted to avoid causing trouble before Zhao Min completely turned against the Yuan Dynasty.

After Zhao Min completely severed ties with the Yuan Dynasty, Xiao Yaoqing led her and her group away.

Where should Zha Yadu go to find Xiao Yaoqing on the fifteenth of each month?

What awaits him is a fate worse than death.

Unfortunately, none of Zha Yadu, Yu Chifeng, or Ku Toutuo had anticipated this.

Zha Ya shuddered upon hearing Xiao Yaoqing's words.

He slowly stood up and lowered his voice to say:

"Yes, Master."

There was no anger or resentment in his tone.

His previous despair had shattered any thought he had of dealing with Xiao Yaoqing.

At this moment, it seemed that Xiao Yaoqing had truly taken root in his heart and become his master.

Zha Yadu, as if he had lost his soul, staggered and stumbled out of the tent.

Immediately afterwards, "thump"

With a thud, he collapsed limply to the ground.

Xiao Yaoqing looked up and exchanged a glance with Yuchi Feng and the Bitter Monk:

"Let's send our young prince back to Dadu."

"yes!"

Without delay, the two immediately left the tent, set up the spiked club on the ground, and flew away using their light-footed skills.

Watching the person and dog disappear from sight, Xiao Yaoqing turned and smiled at the still somewhat timid Xiao Zhao:

"Xiao Zhao, go fetch a basin of clean water and bring it to my lodgings. I'll need it later."

"Yes, young master!"

Xiao Zhao bowed slightly, responded in a crisp voice, and then turned and left.

Only Xiao Yaoqing and Lianxing remained in the tent.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, a light that no one could understand flashed in their eyes.

At this moment, Lianxing's face darkened, and she adopted the demeanor of the Second Palace Mistress of Yihua Palace, her voice turning several degrees colder than before:

"Who's hiding over there? Is this the kind of person the Flower Palace has raised?"

Hiding?

The Palace of Transplanted Flowers?

Don't forget that the Flower Shifting Jade technique used by the Flower Shifting Palace can generate subtle sensations within a certain distance.

Didn't Xiao Yaoqing sense Lianxing on Bright Peak before?

Now, Xiao Yaoqing and Lianxing have both mastered the art of "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" to perfection.

While Zha Yadu was unconscious, the two of them sensed an unusual aura outside the tent.

The two had exchanged glances long ago, but neither had made it clear.

After all, those present don't need to know about the Yihua Palace for the time being.

Now that everyone had left, Lianxing revealed her trump card as the Second Palace Master of Yihua Palace, making her voice heard throughout the entire tent.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the hidden Yihua Palace made no attempt to reveal itself.

Lianxing frowned slightly, her gaze instantly locking onto her right side. With a flick of her wrist, a palm strike was already poised to be unleashed.

Just as that powerful energy was about to be unleashed.

A pleasant female voice came from the right, her tone betraying a hint of panic:

"Second Palace Master, please show mercy! It's Yue Nu!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a faint fragrance wafted into the tent. The newcomer was veiled, looking like a fairy descending from the clouds. Her eyes, visible through the veil, were wide open, filled with surprise and astonishment.

Hua Yuenü knew very well that the skill of "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" allowed fellow practitioners to sense each other.

She already knew that Lianxing had sensed the fluctuations in her internal energy.

Perhaps the man named Xiao Yaoqing sensed it too.

But she never expected that the Second Palace Master would directly reveal her hiding place in front of Xiao Yaoqing.

Because of this unexpected event, she was a fraction of a second slower.

I almost took a direct hit from Lianxing's Jinglian Palm.

Suppressing her surprise and doubt, Hua Yuenü did not dare to forget the rules, and immediately knelt on one knee, bowing her head respectfully, and said:

"This servant, Hua Yuenü, greets the Second Palace Mistress."

Xiao Yaoqing and Lianxing exchanged a glance.

Xiao Yaoqing certainly knew Hua Yuenü.

Actually, he met Hua Yuenü earlier than he met Lianxing.

He recognized this woman from the start—her appearance was only slightly less striking than Lianxing's.

After all, she was Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque's biological mother.

It must be something extraordinary that could capture the heart of a man as discerning as Jiang Feng, a man who has seen countless men.

At this moment, Lianxing waved her hand at Huayuenü:

"Stand up and speak."

"Yes……"

Hua Yuenü responded softly and slowly stood up.

But as soon as she steadied herself, her gaze narrowed sharply, and she couldn't help but blurt out:

"Second Palace Master, your hands and feet..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hua Yuenü abruptly shut her mouth, realizing she had said something she shouldn't have. She hurriedly knelt down again, her voice trembling:

"This servant has spoken out of turn. This servant deserves to die. I beg the Second Mistress to punish me."

Yes, how could Hua Yuenü not know the renown of the two palace masters of Yihua Palace?

The Second Palace Mistress's biggest pet peeve was when others mentioned her hands and feet.

When she was a child, she overheard people in the palace gossiping in private, and those words reached Lianxing's ears.

After that, those palace maids never appeared again.

This is no joke!

She was prepared to bear the wrath of the Second Palace Master.

But after waiting for a long time, what came was not thunderous rage, but a somewhat playful voice:

"Get up, don't be so tense. Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

Hua Yuen-nu: !!!

She could hardly believe her ears and wondered if she had misheard!

Why does the Second Palace Master speak so casually?

Why didn't the Second Palace Master punish me?

This is simply unacceptable!

Is this still the same cold-faced Second Master?

Where exactly did things go wrong?

"No, I must have misheard! It must be a hallucination!!"

Hua Yuenü remained kneeling on the ground, her head bowed low, and cried out again, "Please punish me, Second Palace Master..."

At that moment, a deep, magnetic male voice sounded in her ear, its tone tinged with helplessness:

"Look how scared you've made them."

It's this voice again.

A surge of indescribable excitement and joy welled up in Hua Yuenü's heart.

This was the voice she had longed for day and night!

I feel nauseous just listening to that lecherous Jiang Feng talk every day.

My mind is filled with Xiao Yaoqing's image; I've been longing to see him again!

But before her excitement could subside, she froze again.

"He's... talking to the Second Master?"

"Why did he speak to the Second Palace Master like that—?"

Before I could even figure it out, I heard the Second Palace Master speak:

"Brother! I'm not that scary, don't talk nonsense!"

Hua Yuenü's mind went blank for a second.

"This is... the Second Palace Master?!"

She screamed inwardly, her voice cracking.

The Second Palace Master actually called Xiao Yaoqing...brother?

And that tone... it even sounds a bit like she's being coquettish!

No way!!

Am I still dreaming?

"Yes, it must be a dream, it must be a dream right now!!"

Thinking about it, Hua Yuenü secretly pinched her arm.

But it's fucking real!

If she hadn't been well-mannered since childhood, she would have cursed him out long ago!

Just then, Lianxing's slightly disgruntled voice came from beside him:

"I told you to get up, I didn't say I was going to punish you."

Hua Yuenü dared not think any further and quickly got up.

She couldn't hold back any longer, her eyes wide with surprise and uncertainty as she stared intently at Xiao Yaoqing.

Looking at the face that appeared in her dreams almost every night, Hua Yuennu was completely stunned.

Even she herself didn't know why.

She had only caught a fleeting glimpse of Xiao Yaoqing last time, yet his image was etched into her mind.

Whenever she met that so-called handsome young man Jiang Feng, she couldn't help but compare the two of them.

Although they saw Jiang Feng every day, the gap between them was widening.

As a result, Xiao Yaoqing's image became more and more deeply ingrained in her heart.

He became an indispensable guest in my dreams every night!

Hua Yuenü's mind went blank.

The person who had appeared in her dreams countless times was now sitting alive and well in front of her.

She stared intently at Xiao Yaoqing, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

But some things just can't be kept secret between women.

Lianxing saw Huayuenü's reaction.

She glanced at Xiao Yaoqing, then at Hua Yuenü, and her brows furrowed immediately.

The jealousy in his eyes was impossible to hide.

She saw through it at a glance—this Hua Yuenü had feelings for Xiao Yaoqing!

Lianxing muttered a sour thought to herself:

"Why is it that every girl who's even remotely pretty seems to like my brother?!"

"Ahem! Moon Slave!"

Lianxing couldn't take it anymore and simply interrupted.

Hua Yuenü suddenly came to her senses.

Only then did he realize that he had been staring at Xiao Yaoqing so intently that he was completely mesmerized.

A sudden panic gripped her heart:

"Oh no! Could the Second Master have found out?"

"The rules of the Flower Palace forbid falling in love with men... What should I do... Will she just kill me?"

She herself didn't realize that she had already tacitly accepted in her heart that she had indeed fallen in love with Xiao Yaoqing.

However, although Lianxing felt a little jealous, she didn't get angry.

After all, her cold demeanor in the Yihua Palace was all an act to appease her older sister.

Besides, if it's really because Hua Yuenü likes Xiao Yaoqing, then she should be dealt with according to palace rules.

And what about herself?

Shouldn't she also be punished?

Thinking of this, Lianxing simply changed the subject and returned to the main matter.

A hint of worry flickered in her eyes as she asked:

"Moon Slave, my sister... has emerged from seclusion?"

Hua Yuenü secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the Second Palace Mistress wasn't going to hold a grudge against her.

But this matter involved internal affairs of the Yihua Palace, and she subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yaoqing.

Even if she liked Xiao Yaoqing very much, the current Xiao Yaoqing was ultimately not considered a member of the Yihua Palace.

Lianxing noticed Huayuenu's gaze, and so did Xiao Yaoqing.

He shrugged nonchalantly.

"You guys chat."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

It can "slap".

With a soft click, Lianxing grabbed Xiao Yaoqing's hand.

"Brother, just listen here, so I don't have to tell you again later."

Hua Yuen-nu's eyes widened in disbelief.

She stared blankly at her Second Palace Master and Xiao Yaoqing's clasped hands.

At that moment, a sour feeling welled up in her heart.

More than anything, there was an inexplicable sense of loss.

Hua Yuenü had never seen a man get even half a step closer to the Second Palace Master in her entire life, let alone touch a single finger.

But today, their Second Mistress actually took that man's hand!

The relationship between these two is obvious without even guessing.

But two more words popped into Hua Yuenü's mind—"Brother?"

That's right.

Lianxing called this guy named Xiao Yaoqing "brother" to her face, and she did it so smoothly.

And what did the Second Palace Master just say? "Report."
