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

"In that case, I'll go into seclusion alone. Lianxing, go and investigate this matter."

"Me?"

Lianxing was taken aback.

Hua Yuenü and Hua Xingnu stood to the side with their hands at their sides. When they heard Yaoyue call out, they quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly to the Palace Master.

Yaoyue looked down at them, her voice devoid of any warmth: "While the Second Palace Master and I are away, Jiang Feng's daily life will be taken care of by the two of you."

"Remember, for twelve hours, he is not allowed to touch a single drop of water."

The two maids quickly replied, "We understand."

Yaoyue glanced back at Jiang Feng, who was lying unconscious on the bed, then looked at the two girls in front of her, and said, "Extend your right hand."

Hua Yuenü and Hua Xingnu exchanged a glance, wondering to themselves, but dared not disobey, and obediently extended their right hands.

Yaoyue gently raised her hand.

A gentle breeze swept by, causing the sleeves of the two girls' right arms to flutter slightly, revealing their fair wrists.

Yaoyue's fingers quickly swept across their wrists.

The two of them suddenly felt a pain in their wrists, and when they looked down, they saw a small red dot on their skin.

"This is……"

Both of them were stunned, not knowing what it was.

Lianxing, who was standing nearby, explained, "This is the 'virginity mark' of the Yihua Palace. If the red color fades, it means you have lost your virginity, which means you have violated the palace rules."

Upon hearing this, the two maids turned pale and quickly lowered their heads, saying, "We would never dare to violate the palace rules."

Yaoyue nodded: "That would be best."

The voice just fell.

The two of them stopped arguing.

A gust of wind blew by, and Yaoyue and Lianxing's figures disappeared into the hall at the same time.

Above the Yihua Palace, Lianxing bowed slightly to Yaoyue, then turned and flew towards the outside of the mountain gate.

Yaoyue nodded, her figure slowly fading away, disappearing without a trace.

Lian Xingfei followed the path Hua Yuenü had pointed out. She certainly wouldn't wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

But just as she flew above the mountain gate, Lianxing suddenly stopped, a sly look appearing on her youthful face, and muttered something to herself.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little awkward.

Zha Yadu had wanted to get closer to Zhao Min and say a few words, but she didn't even look at him and got into the sedan chair. Even more outrageous, she dragged Xiao Yaoqing in with her.

Once the curtain was drawn, the view of those outside was completely blocked.

As soon as Zhao Min sat down, her face turned red, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

Xiao Yaoqing was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he leaned back on the cushion and closed his eyes.

After walking for about half an hour, Zhao Min spoke softly:

"Um... Xiao Yaoqing, are you asleep?"

Xiao Yaoqing opened his eyes and glanced at her.

"What's up?"

He looked at Zhao Min's awkward and hesitant manner, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

This girl isn't usually like this.

Zhao Min bit her lip, her voice as soft as cotton:

"I just...want to ask...about what happened today..."

Xiao Yaoqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw her stammering.

"Oh, even our Princess has moments of embarrassment?"

Zhao Min was taken aback.

Yeah, when has she ever been so indecisive?

She suddenly raised her head, and her eyes changed instantly.

There was an indescribable light in his eyes.

Xiao Yaoqing felt a chill run down his spine.

Before he could even speak, Zhao Min stood up, flipped over and straddled his lap, cupping his face in her hands.

Xiao Yaoqing: ? ? ?

"What are you doing?!"

Zhao Min's face was flushed, but her gaze was steady as she stared straight at him.

What do you think?

Do what you did when it was just dawn, and do it now.

As soon as he finished speaking, he charged straight at Xiao Yaoqing.

Later, it became the scene where Xiao Yaoqing transferred his internal energy to Zhao Min.

Well, if we really want to argue about it, there's not much to say.

However, that guy Zha Yadu rode his horse close to the sedan chair the whole time, his body leaning to the side and his head tilted to the side.

Their ears perked up like a rabbit's, desperately trying to hear what was going on inside the sedan chair.

He was completely bewildered, muttering to himself:

"What are those two doing? It's so quiet! Could they really be practicing martial arts inside the sedan chair?"

"hiss--"

"But what was that noise just now...? What were they eating? It sounded pretty delicious."

Let Zha Yadu keep guessing.

If he could actually figure it out, that would be truly amazing.

I doubt he'd ever have that kind of brain.

Never mind him, Xiao Yaoqing spent the rest of his time traveling with Zhao Min to Bright Peak in utter boredom.

Xiao Yaoqing himself couldn't remember how many days had passed.

He knew that, thanks to the rewards given by the system, the pure internal energy in his body had soared to a frightening fifty years!

Furthermore, it activated the Shangyang Sword on the right index finger and the Shaoze Sword on the left little finger of the Six Meridians Divine Sword!

Not only that, the system also gave Xiao Yaoqing the ninth move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, "Leaping from the Abyss".

And the tenth move, "Double Dragons Taking Water".

.

That was the very moment Xiao Yaoqing heard the system reward him with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms moves.

He then realized that he actually had a chance to get his hands on the complete version of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Judging from this momentum, the remaining half of the Lingbo Weibu technique will be in hand soon.

That's why Xiao Yaoqing cursed the "broken system".

The number of times it happened has decreased significantly.

The further west you go, the more dilapidated the surrounding villages and towns become.

Ultimately, the climate here is really not good.

Of course, while Xiao Yaoqing's kung fu improved by leaps and bounds, Zhao Min was not idle either.

For example, the matter of Xiao Yaoqing passing on his skills to her.

Now, she's able to turn the tables and fight back against Xiao Yaoqing.

Isn't that a kind of progress?

Inside the sedan chair, Xiao Yaoqing and Zhao Min were locked in a fierce battle of wits, exchanging words back and forth.

Suddenly, the sound of a scout came from outside:

"Reporting to the Princess, the Emei Sect and the other six major sects have already set up camp below Bright Peak!"

Zhao Min slowly separated from Xiao Yaoqing, her eyes still lingering on him. She glanced at Xiao Yaoqing a few times, took a few deep breaths to regulate her breathing, and then spoke to the outside of the sedan chair:

"Okay, I got it. Where's the nearest town?"

89 When did I ever hit you? Who saw it?

Zhao Min was accompanied by the Xuanming Elders, the Bitter Monk, and Yuchi Feng, and of course, Xiao Yaoqing was also present.

The group rode their horses to the nearest town at the foot of Bright Summit.

Needless to say, Zha Yadu, that tagalong, definitely wouldn't miss it.

The remaining Yuan soldiers all stayed in the mountains and forests to set up camp, ready to await Zhao Min's orders at any time.

Zhao Min had already changed into men's clothing and found Xiao Yaoqing a new horse. What would it look like if people saw two grown men sharing a horse?

This place is a town, but it's so dilapidated it's almost like a village.

The group rode into the town, where chaos had already broken out.

The common people scattered and fled in a frenzy. The old people, unable to run, collapsed in a corner, leaning on their canes and wailing, "The six major sects are going to attack Bright Peak! How are we poor people supposed to survive?!"

This is true.

It's true that the six major sects besieged the Bright Peak of the Ming Cult, but once the battle started, the surrounding people would definitely suffer.

Zhao Min looked at the scene before her, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

To be honest, a princess as high and mighty as her, how could she have ever seen the hardships of ordinary people?

Just as things were getting chaotic, a fight suddenly broke out from the commotion.

Several women and children fell to the ground, scattering their bundles everywhere.

Several thugs with menacing faces rushed forward to snatch the goods, shouting, "Do we, the Ming Cult, need to consult you to get some money?!"

Everyone present knew that these guys were definitely not members of the Ming Cult.

They're just taking advantage of the chaos to do bad things under the guise of the Ming Cult.

Zhao Min's eyes blazed with fury upon seeing this scene.

She pushed off with her feet and leaped off the horse!

A flash of sword light.

Several thugs fell to the ground immediately.

Zhao Min wanted to help the women and children, but they didn't even have time to say thank you before grabbing their bags and running away.

At this critical juncture, who cares about these things?

Zhao Min stared at the fleeing figures, her brows furrowed, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Those damned traitors of the Central Plains! Sooner or later, the iron cavalry of my Great Yuan will crush them and restore peace to the people of the Central Plains!"

The two elders of Xuanming didn't react much when they heard this.

Xiao Yaoqing sneered.

A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the ascetic, but he didn't show it.

Xiao Yaoqing's laughter reached Zhao Min's ears.

She turned her head, frowned, and asked, "Xiao Yaoqing, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Yaoqing, mounted on his horse, looked down at her and spoke slowly, "Do you really think the current court can provide the common people with a peaceful life?"

The moment Xiao Yaoqing uttered those two words, Zhao Min's pupils constricted sharply, her face filled with shock.

Even the ascetic monk standing to the side couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes filled with astonishment as he stared intently at Xiao Yaoqing.

At this moment, as if he had seized upon some enormous weakness, Zha Yadu swiftly drew his longsword, pointed the tip at Xiao Yaoqing, and roared:

"Xiao Yaoqing, what are you doing! I'll kill you today!"

No one knows where he got his confidence from, but before he finished speaking, his longsword had already thrust straight at him.

Ding--

A crisp sound.

Zhao Min drew her sword and deflected the sword that was aimed at her.

Zha Yadu's eyes widened, and he shouted at Zhao Min:

"Minmin, why are you protecting him? He's a traitor!"

"Traitor?"

Zhao Min stood her ground, staring directly at Zha Yadu, her voice icy cold, "Xiao Yaoqing is my man. If he betrays the party, then what am I? Am I also one of your accomplices?"

Upon hearing this, Zha Yadu's anger vanished instantly, replaced by a fawning smile, and he quickly said:

"Minmin, your father is the Grand Marshal of the Army and the Army of the Realm. How could you possibly be a traitor?"

But then he changed his tone, staring intently at Xiao Yaoqing, his voice becoming fierce again:

"But he's different! Couldn't he be a spy hiding next to you?"

"I'm protecting you! Minmin, let me kill him!"

"You dare?"

Zhao Min stood directly between Zha Yadu and Xiao Yaoqing, her tone showing no sign of backing down.

You said you wanted to kill Xiao Yaoqing to my face? You lay a finger on him, and I'll lay ten on you.

I don't care whose son you are.

Before the two could continue arguing, Xiao Yaoqing's voice drifted over slowly.

He sat astride his horse, not even glancing at Zha Yadu, and spoke indifferently:

"Kill me?"

"Are you worthy?"

His tone was as calm as could be.

But the next second, a terrifying aura suddenly exploded from Xiao Yaoqing's body.

Zha Yadu felt a gust of wind rush towards him, and he couldn't even stand still.

woo-

A muffled thud.
