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

How could someone like that possibly open their heart to Lin Pingzhi?

At this moment, Yue Buqun also glanced at Lin Pingzhi, and then slowly put his hands behind his back.

He said to the outer sect elder:

"I know what I'm doing. I'll handle Xianyu Tong's matter myself. You can leave now and clean up that mess outside."

The outer sect elder trembled slightly and bowed his head in response:

"Yes, Sect Leader."

After saying that, he stood up and slowly withdrew from the inner hall.

Once the outer sect elders left, Yue Buqun quieted down.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if he were pondering something.

Neither his daughter Yue Lingshan nor his apprentice Lin Pingzhi dared to make a sound to disturb them.

After a long while, Yue Buqun finally raised his head, his gaze falling on his daughter, and said:

"Lingshan, you're all grown up now. It's time to go out into the world and broaden your horizons."

Yue Lingshan was taken aback, then her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to ask:

"Father, you've agreed to let me go down the mountain?"

Yue Buqun, with a kind smile on his face, nodded and said:

"With your brother Chong protecting you, your father doesn't need to worry too much about your safety."

The word "Chong'er" that Yue Buqun uttered.

It goes without saying that this refers to Linghu Chong.

But he had only just punished the person and sent them to the Cliff of Repentance, and he forgot about it in the blink of an eye.

Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi were both taken aback.

A hint of joy welled up in Yue Lingshan's heart: Is Father no longer angry?

Before she could speak, Lin Pingzhi preemptively cupped his hands and said, "Master, have you forgotten? Senior Brother Linghu was just punished by you and sent to the Cliff of Repentance to reflect on his actions. How about I accompany Senior Sister down the mountain this time?"

Lin Pingzhi was a year or two older than Yue Lingshan, but he joined the sect later and was considered her junior brother in terms of seniority.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun paused for a moment, then laughed and patted his forehead: "Look at my memory, I've really lost my mind in anger."

He turned to Yue Lingshan: "Lingshan, pack your things and come down the mountain with Pingzhi."

Yue Lingshan glared angrily at Lin Pingzhi, then cried out to Yue Buqun in desperation, "Father, please forgive Chong-ge this time!"

"No!"

Upon hearing his daughter plead for Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun's face immediately darkened. "Linghu Chong has repeatedly violated the sect rules and refused to mend his ways. This time, he must be made to reflect on his actions carefully on the Cliff of Repentance. He can only come down when he has fully understood!"

"But……"

Yue Lingshan wanted to argue further.

Yue Buqun waved his hand, looked at her, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Lingshan, I raised Chong'er myself. Would I harm him? Aren't I doing this for his own good?"

The phrase "for his own good" sounds like utterly useless nonsense.

But these words had a very strong effect on Yue Lingshan.

She could only nod: "Okay, Dad, I understand..."

He secretly thought to himself: "Brother Chong, you must reflect on your actions. When I come back, we'll practice swordsmanship together again."

Yue Lingshan resigned herself to her fate and then asked, "Father, what do you want me to do this time we go down the mountain?"

Yue Buqun said directly, "Go to Dadu and find Xianyu Tong. If you can't rescue him..."

He made a gesture.

That action meant to kill.

Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi's gazes tightened simultaneously.

Although Yue Lingshan was curious, seeing her father's expression, she didn't dare to ask any more questions and simply nodded, "Father, I understand."

Green Willow Villa.

The main entrance.

Zhao Min changed into men's clothing, carrying the Heaven-Slaying Sword in her hand, looking exceptionally capable, and walked out of Green Willow Manor with Xiao Yaoqing.

As soon as she turned the corner, she couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed Xiao Yaoqing's arm with her free hand and smiled sweetly.

But Xiao Yaoqing's expression was as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Could you please be more careful?"

Zhao Min was taken aback for a moment, then immediately retorted, "What should I be paying attention to? There's no one I know here!"

Someone I know?

Of course there are. For example, there's Zha Yadu, who's so angry his face is almost splitting open, a dozen feet away.

But that guy isn't important.

Xiao Yaoqing was concerned about something else: "You're dressed as a man now, don't forget that."

"What kind of image would it be if people saw two grown men embracing? You may not care, but I do!"

"I don't want people to misunderstand and think I have some weird quirk!"

seriously.

No matter how well Zhao Min dressed as a man, he could tell at a glance that she was a girl.

But these days, it's like ordinary people are blind.

Upon seeing Zhao Min, he immediately addressed her as "Young Master".

.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, and mainly for the sake of one's own "face,"

Xiao Yaoqing resolutely resisted Zhao Min's intimate gestures.

Hearing this, Zhao Min gritted her teeth in anger and muttered, "Hmph! Do you intend to flirt with other girls?!"

Despite saying that, she still let go of Xiao Yaoqing's arm.

After all, she had come to terms with it and realized that it was indeed a bit inappropriate.

Zhao Min is, after all, a young woman, and she genuinely enjoys shopping.

Actually, she had wanted to take Xiao Yaoqing out for a stroll yesterday, but Xiao Zhao had fainted at the entrance of Green Willow Manor.

That's when he gave up the idea.

Today she finally got her chance. As soon as they came out of the martial arts arena, she dragged Xiao Yaoqing out onto the street.

After strolling around for most of the morning, even Xiao Yaoqing, with his profound inner strength, felt his legs go weak, but Zhao Min was still full of energy.

There's nothing we can do about it; it's a woman's natural talent.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the market ahead, accompanied by the screams of girls!

"What are you doing! Let me go! No..."

Tsk tsk, these lines make you think of the wrong things.

Zhao Min and Xiao Yaoqing both frowned at the same time.

However, Zhao Min's eyes were filled with anger.

However, Xiao Yaoqing's eyes held a strange look, and he even looked up and glanced around.

Xiao Yaoqing's doubts were not unfounded.

That's right.

While he was shopping with Zhao Min, he didn't recall any past events or memories at all.

At the other end of the street, several Yuan soldiers were groping a woman, and no one around dared to utter a sound.

Xiao Yaoqing stared at the scene, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—he remembered this scene.

Of course, this wasn't the group Zhao Min brought. Her people were all hidden outside the city; this was Yuan Dynasty territory, so it wasn't unusual to have government troops there.

But he remembered clearly that when Zhang Wuji, along with the Ming Cult members, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui, passed through this town, they happened to witness Yuan soldiers bullying people. Before Zhang Wuji could even make a move, Zhao Min charged out with the Heaven-Reliant Sword. That sword was what truly caught the Ming Cult's attention.

The scene right now is exactly as described in the book.

Xiao Yaoqing turned his gaze and landed on the entrance of the inn in front of him.

"Zhang Wuji".

He recognized him at a glance. Standing behind him were Fan Yao, the Left Envoy of Light; Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King; and Yang Buhui. Xiao Zhao wasn't there; she was still in the room making his bed.

Just as Xiao Yaoqing pinpointed Zhang Wuji's location, Zhao Min's voice rang out: "Xiao Yaoqing, go take a look."

After saying that, she grabbed his arm and rushed towards the mess.

The Yuan soldiers were grinning lewdly as they groped the woman in the street.

"stop!"

Zhao Min let out a cold shout and flew through the air. She then kicked out, instantly knocking a Yuan soldier to the ground.

Several Yuan soldiers nearby did not recognize her and did not know that she was the princess of the Prince of Ruyang. They immediately surrounded her, wanting to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson.

Xiao Yaoqing stood aside, not intending to interfere.

It has nothing to do with him. Besides, although Zhao Min isn't exactly a top-tier expert, she's more than capable of dealing with these few soldiers.

Just as he was thinking of standing by and doing nothing, a gust of wind suddenly blew past his ear.

Xiao Yaoqing instinctively stepped aside.

A gleaming knife slashed down close to his body.

He whirled around, staring at the Yuan soldier who had ambushed him, and frowned: "What are you doing?"

The Yuan soldier glared at him coldly, his voice booming, "You're all in cahoots! You dare attack government troops? You've rebelled! You all deserve to die!"

Xiao Yaoqing was stunned.

Does that make it rebellion?

Zhao Min was the biological daughter of the Prince of Ruyang, yet she was also a rebel?

Who deserves to die?

The Yuan soldier's shout immediately alerted many people nearby. Soon, two more Yuan soldiers, brandishing knives, charged menacingly towards Xiao Yaoqing.

Xiao Yaoqing sighed.

Honestly, he had no intention of taking action at all.

But these people insisted on forcing him.

Without any hesitation, he switched his sword to his left hand.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a strange fluctuation of true energy suddenly appeared.

At the entrance of the inn, Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King, both behind Zhang Wuji, were stunned for a moment and exchanged a glance.

Just then, Xiao Yaoqing extended his right hand.

The Yuan soldiers felt as if their weapons were completely out of their control.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yaoqing swung his right hand sharply.

The three Yuan soldiers were lifted into the air and flew backward.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several muffled thuds knocked over the other three companions.

Blood gushed from the mouths of the six men, and they fainted on the spot. Their fates were unknown.

Xiao Yaoqing showed no mercy whatsoever—they were just Yuan soldiers, not worth being soft on.

The once chaotic market suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to utter a sound.

The remaining Yuan soldiers who were fighting Zhao Min were stunned and stopped moving.

Fear instantly filled their eyes.

The group exchanged glances, completely losing their will to continue fighting.

He threw down his weapon and turned to flee.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Min glanced disdainfully at the motionless Yuan soldiers on the ground, ran to Xiao Yaoqing's side, and asked with bright eyes:

"Xiao Yaoqing, what kind of kung fu is this? How are you so amazing?"

"I only saw you wave your hand a few times, and those six people were seriously injured? How did you do that?"

"That's incredible!"

To be honest, if someone else had shown off this skill in front of Zhao Min, she wouldn't have praised it so unreservedly.

But this is Xiao Yaoqing, so it's different.

Xiao Yaoqing himself did not expect that the power of this palm strike would be so fierce.

But he didn't think much of it and casually waved his hand, saying:

"It's almost noon, can we go back for lunch now?"

Zhao Min looked up at the sky and nodded:

"Let's go back and eat!"

Neither of them noticed that Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao behind Zhang Wuji had their eyes wide open and their mouths slightly agape.

Zhang Wuji turned his head and saw the two of them looking like they had seen a ghost.

"Left Envoy Yang, Bat King Wei, what's wrong with you two?"

Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao exchanged a glance, then immediately concealed their expressions.

Yang Xiao spoke up:

"Reporting to the Grand Master, the woman from the Yuan Dynasty was carrying the Heaven-Reliant Sword!"

That's right. They had already figured out Zhao Min's identity from that scene on Bright Peak—she was a member of the imperial court.
