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

At this point, the image from just now flashed through the minds of all three of them—the moment Lianxing turned around.

They remember it clearly; it wasn't a human gaze at all.

It's like a demon from hell, staring coldly at you and beckoning you with its finger.

The three grown men shuddered simultaneously.

The other breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness we were obedient enough to finish her act. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be seeing the sun tomorrow."

"Who can argue with that!"

The remaining two also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling weak in the knees after escaping death.

At that moment, someone suddenly blurted out, "Hey, why would such a powerful figure like her make us act in her shoes?"

This question is on the minds of all three of them.

But one of them immediately retorted, "You still have the mind to think about this?"

"I have a bad feeling about this, let's run!"

The other two nodded without hesitation.

The three of them turned around at the same time, their legs just lifted, ready to run away.

But in that instant of turning around—

All three people froze simultaneously.

His face instantly turned as white as paper.

His pupils were filled with despair and resentment.

But not a single word could be squeezed out of his throat.

"puff--"

The three men coughed up blood from their seven orifices, their bodies swayed, and they fell straight to the ground.

He stopped breathing.

That's right, the man who dared to have impure thoughts about Lianxing.

Will she spare their lives?

You're dreaming.

At this moment, Lianxing had already released Zhao Min.

Zhao Min tactfully reached out to support her, helping her to steady herself.

With Zhao Min's strength, she couldn't sense the internal force within Lianxing that could instantly annihilate her.

She glanced around, then finally fixed her gaze on Xiao Yaoqing and said:

"From now on, you will be his maid. His name is Xiao Yaoqing."

Xiao Yaoqing: (°Д°)

"Has Zhao Min gone mad?!"

Are you kidding me!

That's Lianxing, the deputy palace master of Yihua Palace!

She wants me to be her master?!

Do you think I'm living too long?!

Besides, Xiao Yaoqing always felt that Lianxing's sudden appearance to act in this play was because of him.

As for where this feeling came from, he couldn't explain it; it was probably just a man's intuition.

So Xiao Yaoqing immediately declined, saying, "I don't think I need any more maids. It would be better if she stayed with you."

Before Zhao Min could reply, Lianxing spoke first, her tone tinged with grievance:

"Sister, I have no objection to you wanting me to be your maid. But this young master doesn't seem to like me... Is it because of my disability that he dislikes me?"

She spoke in a pitiful tone, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Xiao Yaoqing was furious: What are you pretending for? Isn't this the standard green tea act?

What kind of hand or foot disability?

Are your hands and feet just for decoration?

With that crippled left hand, he could probably slap Zhao Min into a meat pie!

After listening, Zhao Min glanced at Xiao Yaoqing, then took Lianxing's hand and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, just stay with him. If he dares to bully you, tell me, and I'll stand up for you."

Xiao Yaoqing: "..."

I bullied her?

How could I dare!

I'm so grateful she doesn't bully me!

And isn't it said that women are the best at seeing through green tea bitches?

Zhao Min, didn't you notice anything at all?

Before Xiao Yaoqing could finish complaining, Zhao Min added:

"As for your hands and feet, I have a way to fix them. But there's no rush, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Lianxing's expression changed instantly.

A glint suddenly flashed in her eyes, and her emotions clearly fluctuated.

She grabbed Zhao Min's hand immediately and asked urgently:

"You really have a way to heal my hands and feet?"

His voice was filled with excitement and shock.

This time, her reaction was completely genuine.

Xiao Yaoqing could tell that this was Lianxing's truest emotion.

If she hadn't been desperately suppressing it, the sheer force emanating from her body would have sent Zhao Min flying.

Even Lianxing herself didn't expect to hear such news during this trip down the mountain.

Her original purpose was simply to deal with Xiao Yaoqing's matter.

As a result, Xiao Yaoqing's face aroused her strong curiosity, which is why she wanted to find an opportunity to get close to him.

But now, this pitifully weak little girl actually claims to have a way to restore her hands and feet?

These hands and feet were crippled when she was a child by Yaoyue.

It has always been the deepest thorn in her heart.

She had long since given up hope, feeling that she was a useless person for the rest of her life.

But now, a seemingly frail little girl claims she can cure her?

How could such a thing not shock her?

A spark suddenly ignited in that heart that had long since grown cold.

Moreover, the sparks were burning brighter and brighter, fueled by the wind.

Lianxing's eyes welled up with tears again.

Looking at her like this, Zhao Min felt it was completely reasonable. She said confidently, "Don't worry, it might take a little longer and the process might be a bit painful, but I guarantee I'll make you feel better."

Xiao Yaoqing knew that Zhao Min was right.

This is the legendary Black Jade Broken Heart Ointment.

Although Lianxing's hands and feet are crippled, they haven't stopped growing. However, over the years, her bones and meridians have developed in a way that leads to disability. Now, with the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment, her crooked left hand and foot need to be broken again, the misaligned meridians severed, then reattached, fixed, and treated with medicine. After a period of recuperation, she will recover to be just like a normal person.

Regardless of whether the Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment in reality is that miraculous, this bottle will definitely work.

A tear slid down Lianxing's cheek. This time, it really wasn't an act.

She was stunned, as if she hadn't yet recovered from Zhao Min's words.

Zhao Min had already pulled Lianxing to Xiao Yaoqing's horse: "Alright, I know you can't digest this all at once. But we can't just stand in the street, can we? Let's get on the horse first and find a place to stay."

Xiao Yaoqing stared wide-eyed at Zhao Min's actions, pointed at himself, and exclaimed, "You're letting her ride my horse?"

"You let her ride my horse?"

Zhao Min replied matter-of-factly, "Otherwise what? She's your maid."

Xiao Yaoqing was speechless.

How can you be so carefree?

She's a beautiful girl!

If he and Zhao Min weren't already in that kind of relationship, it wouldn't matter. But the problem is, Zhao Min used to be jealous of even Zhou Zhiruo and Hua Yuenü. Now, she's actively trying to push such a beautiful woman into his arms?

Has the sun risen in the west?

Zhao Min had considered this possibility. She could tell that although Lianxing's face was covered in dust, her natural features were still better than hers. The problem was, Lianxing was disabled. Surely Xiao Yaoqing wouldn't fall for someone who was physically incapacitated?

That's right, Zhao Min is that confident.

Xiao Yaoqing had no choice but to let Lianxing sit on the horse. Of course, Lianxing sat behind him.

Lianxing's scent was impossible to hide; it kept getting into Xiao Yaoqing's nose.

to be frank.

Even Xiao Yaoqing himself never imagined that he would be so close to the Second Palace Master of Yihua Palace one day; it was like a dream.

But the next second, a thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Yaoqing's mind:

"Wait, this is Lianxing!"

"Could I find a way to get my hands on all those martial arts techniques she possesses?!"

Correct.

Although this woman must have ulterior motives for approaching me.

But who says Xiao Yaoqing can't take advantage of her instead?

Xiao Yaoqing knew perfectly well who Lianxing was, but poor Lianxing had no idea that she had been seen through long ago.

Since she took the initiative to come to him, she must have hidden her identity very well and pretended to be an ordinary maidservant by his side.

This is the opportunity!

Those Taiyin True Qi, Mingyu Gong, Lianjing Palm, and Shattering Heart Palm.

There are also a bunch of sword techniques whose names I don't know.

Tsk tsk, Lianxing behind me is simply a treasure!

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Yaoqing's eyes changed.

Lianxing, who was sitting behind him, shivered for no reason.

This pulled her out of her shock at being able to move her limbs.

She muttered to herself:

"Why do I have this feeling... like I'm being watched by some shady character?"

Not serious (cjbe) To be honest, Xiao Yaoqing's behavior really does have a bit of a perverted vibe.

Finally, the group found an inn in the small town.

The house was dilapidated and didn't look very reliable.

Only the owner and his wife were left in the shop.

Those waiters and waiters who used to run errands have long since packed up and left.

If it weren't for their reluctance to part with the family fortune passed down from their ancestors, the couple would probably have run away long ago.

Right now, the two of them are sitting in the shop with long faces.

Zhao Min led her people inside.

The shop owner behind the counter was so frightened that his voice changed tone:

"Gentlemen! Our little shop isn't making any money, there's really nothing for you to steal!"

Everyone was stunned for two seconds upon hearing this.

They immediately understood and shook their heads helplessly.

Zhao Min spoke:

"We're not here to rob you, we're here to stay."

"A hotel?"

The proprietress behind the counter also peeked out.

The couple exchanged a glance, then asked with some skepticism:

"Are you really staying at the hotel?"

Zhao Min, too lazy to waste words, simply pulled a large ingot of silver from her waist and casually tossed it to the shopkeeper:

"Prepare a few superior rooms and some food. Also, take this young lady to take a hot bath."

The shopkeeper and his wife beamed with joy when they saw the gleaming silver.

"Alright! Gentlemen, let's get things arranged right away!"

Even though these days are chaotic and war-torn, since we're open for business, we must have some good stuff in our shops.

Good wine and good food were laid out, and the house was kept clean.

Although it can't compare to the grandeur of Dadu or the extravagance of Green Willow Manor, it's more than enough to allow one to rest comfortably for a night.

It was already getting dark.

Steam rose from the bathtub, and Lianxing was soaking in the water, her skin as white as mutton fat jade.

She slowly lifted her hand out of the water.

Looking at her deformed left hand, she couldn't help but frown.

Yes, God gave her a face like a fairy, but that incident with her sister left her with this lifelong disability.

This scar will always remain etched in her heart.

Suddenly, footsteps approached.

Lianxing quickly pulled her hand back into the water.

A girl dressed as a maid walked in, carrying a stack of clothes, which she placed on the table next to the bathtub.

This is Zhao Min's maid, who previously called Xiao Yaoqing "son-in-law".

that.

As soon as Zhao Min settled in, she sent someone to call her over from outside the city.

After all, a princess can't be without someone to serve her, can she?
