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

It was quite frightening to hear those words come out of her mouth.

Besides the First Palace Master, who else is qualified to hear the Second Palace Master of Yihua Palace report to?

and many more.

Sister…brother Xiao Yaoqing, could it be… *hiss—*

Hua Yuenü gasped in shock.

No wonder this guy knows the secret techniques of the Flower Shifting Palace, it turns out... he's related to our First Palace Master and Second Palace Master?

All these years, how come we haven't heard a single word about it?

Xiao Yaoqing and Lianxing had no idea where Hua Yuenü's mind had wandered off to.

Since Lianxing didn't treat him like an outsider, Xiao Yaoqing didn't need to pretend anymore and simply sat back down.

Since Hua Yuenü had figured out Xiao Yaoqing's identity in her mind, then he was no outsider; he was definitely one of the Yihua Palace's own people.

So she spoke directly: "Replying to the Second Palace Master, the First Palace Master has emerged from seclusion."

"When the Grand Palace Master came out of seclusion, he saw that the Second Palace Master had not yet returned to the palace, so he sent me to find you."

"The Grand Palace Master also sent Xingnu to spread rumors in the martial arts world about Jiang Feng's affairs in our Yihua Palace, hoping to lure Yan Nantian over!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Yaoqing and Lianxing were both stunned.

What stunned them wasn't anything else, but rather the phrase "Jiang Feng" that Hua Yuenü had uttered.

.

It was clear that Hua Yuenü hated Jiang Feng to the core.

He'd blurt it out almost without thinking, needing to utter a curse word to feel satisfied.

Xiao Yaoqing stared at Hua Yuenü in front of him with a strange expression, muttering to himself:

"Isn't Jiang Feng your man? Why do you keep mentioning him?"

"Could it be flirting?"

"That's not right. Look at Hua Yuenü's eyes, it's clearly genuine disgust!"

What exactly happened?

Xiao Yaoqing was completely dumbfounded.

According to the original plot, Hua Yuenü and Jiang Feng's eyes were glued to each other the moment they met.

That was love at first sight.

But now it seems that's not the case at all!

Xiao Yaoqing understood that his transmigration was an accident, and it would definitely cause some butterfly effects.

For example, Zhang Wuji doesn't take Zhao Min seriously at all, let alone care about her.

Hua Yuenü was stunned and blurted out, "I...I can stay too?"

Before she finished speaking, her eyes drifted towards Xiao Yaoqing.

Xiao Yaoqing didn't show any particular expression, only a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and he held his teacup without saying a word.

Lianxing observed this scene, inwardly scoffing, but outwardly nodded calmly: "Since you're here, don't rush to leave. If you go back and report, wouldn't that be clearly telling your sister where I am?"

Her tone was light and casual, as if she were just saying it offhand, but Hua Yuenü felt a chill run down her spine.

On the surface, the Second Palace Mistress was keeping her here, but in reality, she was trying to shut her up.

Hua Yuen-nu certainly understood this principle.

The Grand Palace Master's orders could not be disobeyed, but the Second Palace Master was not someone she could afford to offend.

She could only lower her head and curtsy, saying, "This servant understands and will follow the Second Palace Mistress's arrangements."

Lianxing nodded in satisfaction and gently patted Huayuenu's shoulder: "You're quite clever, girl. In that case, settle down here."

After saying that, she turned to look at Xiao Yaoqing, a hint of playfulness in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Brother, look, I left everyone here for you, you have to thank me properly."

Xiao Yaoqing put down his teacup, smiled and shook his head: "You've got a good plan. You clearly don't want to go back, but you're trying to pin the credit on me."

"Brother, you're wronging me by saying that."

Lianxing pouted, but glanced at Huayuenu, saying, "She's genuinely thinking about her brother."

Hua Yuenü stood to the side, unsure whether to listen or not, and could only lower her head and obediently stare at her toes.

She knew perfectly well that the brother and sister were speaking to her in a coordinated manner.

But then I thought, staying here is better than going back to the Flower Palace to report.

Given the First Palace Master's temper, if he knew that he had found the Second Palace Master but failed to bring him back, he would probably turn on him on the spot.

The current situation actually relieved her.

"Alright, you must be tired from the journey. Go and rest."

Lianxing waved her hand, her tone carrying the composure of a hostess.

Hua Yuenü responded with a "Yes".

She bowed to Xiao Yaoqing again before leaving with her maid.

After she had walked away, Lianxing turned around, her smile fading slightly, and looked at Xiao Yaoqing, saying, "Brother, trouble with sister is bound to come sooner or later."

Xiao Yaoqing seemed unconcerned, leaning back in his chair and saying calmly, "Let them come. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If your sister really comes, then we should make things clear to her face to face."

Lianxing paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

After a long while, she sighed softly and murmured, "I hope I can still explain it clearly by then."

Xiao Yaoqing knew in his heart that she genuinely wanted to spend more time by his side.

It wasn't for any other reason than that Jiang Feng in the Yihua Palace was really annoying her.

That guy's face made Hua Yuenü compare Xiao Yaoqing to him every day.

Compared to him, Xiao Yaoqing seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

Compared to him, Hua Yuenü wanted to see him even more.

She didn't even consider that she had only met Xiao Yaoqing once and fought with him once, and had no idea what kind of person he was.

But that's just how it is—without comparison, there's no distinction between high and low.

Even when Xiao Yaoqing held her hand tightly during their fight and almost touched her face, she felt more comfortable than if Jiang Feng had just glanced at her.

That look in their eyes is disgusting just to think about.

So Lianxing bent down and replied softly:

"Moon Slave, obey my command."

On the way to the main tent, Xiao Yaoqing wore a helpless expression and turned to ask Lianxing:

"Why would I need three maids if I'm all alone?"

That's right, the job that Lianxing left for Huayuenü was actually to be Xiao Yaoqing's maid.

Xiao Yaoqing finally understood: it wasn't just Zhao Min who liked to stuff women into his life; Lianxing had the same habit.

Lianxing, however, walked steadily as if nothing had happened. Pointing to her left hand and left foot, which were wrapped in white cloth, she said with a grin:

"Brother, your number one maid is now crippled and can only lie in bed to recover from her injuries."

"Then we need to find someone to take the blame."

The way she said that made Hua Yuenü, who was following behind, break out in a sweat.

But then I thought, how could someone as noble as the Second Palace Master be disguised as a maid?

Fortunately, Hua Yuenü's worldview had already been shattered once before, so she didn't need to rebuild it from scratch.

Xiao Yaoqing glanced at the white bandages wrapped around Lianxing's hands and feet, and curled his lip.

What kind of disabled person is this, lying in bed?

That palm strike just now almost turned Zha Yadu into a meat patty. Is that what you call being bedridden?

But there was nothing she could do; Lianxing had to put on an act in front of Zhao Min.

Back in the main tent.

Xiao Zhao had already prepared hot water, with a washcloth draped over her arm, and was quietly waiting for Xiao Yaoqing to return.

Xiao Zhao was taken aback when she saw that there was a strange woman behind Xiao Yaoqing and Lianxing.

"It's so beautiful."

Indeed, even women couldn't help but praise Hua Yuenü's face.

Of course, she doesn't look bad even without makeup, let alone Lianxing.

Of the three, Lianxing is the most beautiful.

Next was Hua Yuenu.

Xiao Zhao didn't feel inferior; she was just curious about the background of this beautiful woman who had suddenly appeared.

As she sized up Hua Yuenü, Hua Yuenü was also looking at her.

Xiao Zhao's skills were nothing in Hua Yuenü's eyes.

It's just a mediocre skill; it's not really a proper skill.

What truly captured Hua Yuenü's attention was the horrific scar on Xiao Zhao's face.

She's so young, and her appearance has been ruined like this.

Hua Yuenü felt a pang of regret.

At this moment, Lianxing spoke:

"Xiao Zhao, when we go to Dadu, let's do some makeup for this Flower Sister too."

"Just do it the way it looks on your face."

Hua Yuenü was taken aback.

make up?

And the effect on her face?

What effect—

Could it be that the hideous scars on Xiao Zhao's face are actually fake?!

Hua Yuen-nu's eyes were filled with shock.

What kind of makeup skills are so advanced that even she can see them?

When she looked at Xiao Zhao again, her eyes were completely different.

Xiao Zhao naturally wouldn't think much of it.

Her heart was already completely devoted to Xiao Yaoqing and Lianxing, and she nodded without hesitation:

"No problem, Sister Lianxing, leave it to me!"

Xiao Zhao smiled with exceptional confidence.

She admits she's no good at fighting.

But when it comes to how to make oneself look ugly, if she claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.

Hua Yuenu wondered to herself, "Why wear this kind of makeup?"
