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

Xiao Zhao thanked Zhao Min again, then limped over to Xiao Yaoqing's side and bowed deeply: "Master Xiao, please feel free to ask me anything in the future, and I will definitely not let you down."

Xiao Yaoqing glanced at her, his lips twitching slightly, and could only mutter helplessly to himself:

"Your name and identity are enough to disappoint me..."

Xiao Zhao originally wanted to start working right away, but Zhao Min stopped her and insisted that she rest for the night first.

Lianxing helped Xiao Yaoqing, and the two walked together towards the room.

Zhao Min didn't come back with Xiao Yaoqing this time, probably because she was afraid her butt was still sore.

Lianxing cut to the chase, rushing up to Xiao Yaoqing and asking:

"elder brother!"

"You saw through Xiao Zhao's act a long time ago, didn't you?"

"Well……"

Xiao Yaoqing was well aware of this. With Lianxing's skills and keen observation, Xiao Zhao's disguise wouldn't last long; it would be exposed sooner or later.

But he still pretended to be surprised:

"She's wearing makeup?"

Honestly, Xiao Yaoqing's acting skills are nowhere near as good as those award-winning actresses.

Lianxing looked at him, her eyes conveying several words:

"Keep pretending!"

Xiao Yaoqing felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze.

There was no other way but to confess honestly:

"Yes, I do know."

"Not only do I know she's wearing makeup, I also know that Xiao Zhao is actually a stunningly beautiful woman with exotic features!"

"Ha! I knew it!!"

Lianxing jumped up to Xiao Yaoqing, raised her delicate little face, and stared at him, asking:

"Brother! Did you win that girl's heart and then turn your back on her? Now she's come knocking on your door, and you're feeling guilty, aren't you?!"

Xiao Yaoqing: ? ? ?

"With your imagination, it's a waste that you're not writing web novels!"

Lianxing was taken aback: "Isn't that right?"

Xiao Yaoqing looked at the girl in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and said:

"Do you know who this Xiao Zhao is?"

Lianxing shook her head.

Xiao Yaoqing then told her a bunch of things she had never heard before.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King, one of the four great protectors of the Ming Cult, eloped with Mr. Silver Leaf.

She gave birth to a daughter, Xiao Zhao.

She secretly sneaked into Bright Peak in order to steal the Ming Cult's signature move—the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.

After listening, Lianxing suddenly realized:

"You mean, Xiao Zhao only followed you because she thought you had the Great Shift of the Universe technique?"

Xiao Yaoqing nodded.

Lianxing clenched her fists in anger and gritted her teeth, saying:

"I knew it! Seeing how happy she was when she became your maid, she definitely had ulterior motives!"

Lianxing is becoming less and less pretentious.

Ever since she dared to be herself in front of Xiao Yaoqing, she has stopped holding back.

Xiao Yaoqing had long been used to her appearance.

So he retorted:

"How dare you criticize others? Aren't you the same?!"

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Lianxing immediately felt a little embarrassed.

But she quickly added:

"How can that be the same? I'm your sister now! What am I doing following you? I've made that perfectly clear to you long ago!"

"She's still keeping it a secret from her own side!"

Seeing her acting like a spoiled little girl, Xiao Yaoqing didn't say anything more.

After sending Lianxing back to her room, he went back to his own room and lay down.

Sleeping is the most important thing in life.

Tonight, Lianxing didn't sneak into Xiao Yaoqing's room in the middle of the night like she usually did, to knock him down and then snuggle into his arms.

She stayed in her room and pulled out the parchment scroll that had been lying around for who knows how long—the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth manual.

He sat cross-legged and, relying on the Yihua Palace's Yihua Jieyu skill, began to deduce this mental cultivation method.

[Ding! Host has completed today's check-in. Reward has been issued: Life and Death Talisman!]

As soon as the system notification sounded, Xiao Yaoqing suddenly opened his eyes and immediately rolled out of bed!

A clear look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The Talisman of Life and Death!

He knows this stuff inside and out, of course.

The first thing I did after getting out of bed was to walk to the round table in the room.

Extend two fingers of your right hand and gently guide them.

Water from the teapot on the table floated out from the spout and landed in Xiao Yaoqing's palm.

Immediately afterwards, a wisp of white steam rose from his palm.

It's not that kind of hot, masculine energy, but rather a forced twisting of masculine energy into a chilling, sinister feeling.

The water in my hand instantly condensed into a sharp icicle.

Xiao Yaoqing flicked his hand at the pillar opposite him.

"Duo!"

There was absolutely no time difference; the ice spike pierced deep into the pillar in an instant.

A small, dark hole was left in the pillar.

Of course, this thing is used to attack inanimate objects.

If it hits a living creature or a person, the ice spike melts as soon as it enters the body, directly merging into the target's body.

It became a kind of talisman called the Life and Death Talisman.

Once hit by this spell, one is trapped in a state of neither life nor death, completely at the mercy of others; hence the name "Life and Death Talisman."

In that world, this thing would definitely be the number one hidden weapon in the martial arts world!

Even if it were moved to the present world, it would still become a powerful weapon in Xiao Yaoqing's hands.

Most importantly, the Life and Death Talisman is different from other talismans.

Wine, tea, and any liquid that Xiao Yaoqing could see could be used as materials to condense the Life and Death Talisman.

"Not bad, really not bad."

Xiao Yaoqing nodded in satisfaction.

The system's feedback is indeed on track.

At least they didn't give him another half set of Life and Death Talismans, which shows some sincerity.

"Knock knock—"

The knocking was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing anyone.

Xiao Yaoqing's brows twitched slightly, suppressing the smile on his face, and he said calmly:

"Enter."

The door is pushed open.

The first thing that catches the eye is a crooked scar.

That's right.

The person who came was Xiao Zhao.

She had changed into a clean set of clothes, exactly the same as the one Lianxing was wearing, as if they had been taken out of the same closet.

His back was bulging with a roll of bedding, which looked like his own quilt.

He carried a copper basin in his hand, draped a neatly folded square scarf over his shoulders, and walked with proper decorum.

Come in.

Upon seeing Xiao Yaoqing, she slightly bent her knees, her voice soft and gentle:

"Young master, you're awake?"

"Shall I help you wash up, Xiao Zhao?"

Xiao Yaoqing really didn't expect this.

Zhao Min told her to rest for one night, and she really only rested for one night.

Did you come to work right after dawn?

Before he could speak, Lianxing's voice rang out:

"No."

"I'll take care of washing your face, young master. You go and make the bed."

His tone was somewhat cold.

Xiao Zhao was taken aback, then turned around and saw Lianxing limping in.

Despite her leg problems, her face was still so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Xiao Zhao quickly put down the copper basin and obediently replied:

"Okay, Sister Lianxing, I'll go right away."

After saying that, without unloading the bundle, he turned around and walked to Xiao Yaoqing's bedside, where he quickly began to pack.

While folding the quilt, she glanced around with her bright eyes.

That's right.

She came to find Xiao Yaoqing, wasn't it for the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?

This is a good opportunity to check if there are any hidden compartments in the bedside table or if there are any things hidden in the corners of the wall.

Over here, Lianxing looked at Xiao Zhao's diligent appearance and slightly curled her lips.

She then turned around, grabbed Xiao Yaoqing's hand, and said irritably:

"Wash your face!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully copied the supreme martial arts technique, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!]

Xiao Yaoqing: When he heard the system notification, his mind didn't even process it.

Immediately afterwards, his pupils contracted sharply!

His gaze instantly shifted, staring directly at Lianxing!

Lianxing was puzzled by his gaze and lowered her voice to ask:

"Brother, is that how you see it?"

Xiao Yaoqing knew very well that the present moment was not the time to question Lianxing about the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.

Xiao Zhaoming clearly came specifically for this set of mental techniques.

He gently shook his head at Lianxing, who glanced at Xiao Zhao and immediately understood.

Although she couldn't understand what Xiao Yaoqing wanted to say, she could tell that there were some things that were inconvenient to say in front of this girl.

So she didn't ask.

Xiao Yaoqing put aside his thoughts and turned to wash his face.

But right now, his mind was in turmoil, and he felt like he was dreaming.

This Qiankun Great Shift technique came too easily, didn't it?

At the beginning, Xiao Yaoqing had his eye on Zhang Wuji, wanting to copy him.

So, after arriving at Bright Peak, he went to find Cheng Kun to test his Heart-Shattering Palm technique.

Who would have thought that Lianxing would come along too?

This Lianxing was a complete accident.

After obtaining the cultivation technique, Xiao Yaoqing waited to copy it from Lianxing.

But it's only been a few days!

Is Lianxing able to master this mental cultivation technique?

And with just a casual touch, he actually copied it to the level of ultimate perfection?

If his past self, who had just transmigrated, knew about this, he wouldn't believe it either.

While washing his face, Xiao Yaoqing cursed under his breath:

"Damn it, they've even copied the Great Shift of the Universe technique, what about my swordsmanship?!"

"When will I finally be able to use a sword?!"

Thinking about the swordsmanship I long for, I failed to copy my talent every time I tried.

The excitement from getting the Life and Death Talisman that morning, and the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique, vanished instantly.

If he had a choice, he would even like to replace both of those with a single sword technique.

That sword looks ordinary, without any special features.

But every time I think about throwing it away, a strange feeling comes over me, and I just can't bear to throw it away.

So whenever someone wanted to see him draw his sword, all he could say was, "There's no need."

.

Everyone else thought he was putting on airs, but Xiao Yaoqing really didn't want to pretend.

He doesn't know how to use a sword at all!

After Xiao Zhao finished making the bed, a faint hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Clearly, she didn't find what she was looking for.

However, that feeling was fleeting.

She turned around and walked to Xiao Yaoqing's side.

Just then, Xiao Yaoqing finished washing his face.

Xiao Zhao bent down slightly, her voice soft and gentle:

"Young master, the bed has been made. Is there anything else you wish to instruct Xiao Zhao about?"

Lianxing and Xiao Yaoqing turned their heads at the same time.

Xiao Yaoqing smiled and shook his head, saying:

Xiao Zhao unloaded the things from her back, and Xiao Yaoqing waved his hand and said, "Don't be so formal with me, just drop your bag first."

Xiao Zhao gave him a sweet smile, but the hideous scar across her face made her smile even more frightening. Xiao Yaoqing and Lianxing both knew that it was a disguise she had deliberately drawn on.

Xiao Zhao turned to Lian Xing and said softly, "Sister, which room are you staying in? Starting today, I'll be sharing a room with you."
