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

The sword was drawn from its sheath, emitting a clear ringing sound.

Zhang Wuji and Yang Xiao were both stunned.

Wei Yixiao frowned, somewhat surprised, and said, "Why is it a wooden sword? No wonder it's so light."

"A wooden sword?"

Zhang Wuji and Yang Xiao exchanged a glance, both of them looking puzzled.

At this moment, Wei Yixiao sniffed and said, "What's that pungent smell?"

As he spoke, he handed the wooden sword to Zhang Wuji and Yang Xiao, letting them smell it as well.

They both nodded at the same time.

It really smells good.

It's normal for something used by women to have a fragrance.

Neither Yang Xiao nor Wei Yixiao considered the possibility of anything else.

But Zhang Wuji frowned.

He definitely smelled that scent before.

But for a moment, I couldn't remember what material it was that was emanating from.

Wei Yixiao was still examining the wooden sword over and over when Zhang Wuji said helplessly, "Bat King, this isn't the real Heaven-Reliant Sword. Hurry up and put it back."

Wei Yixiao nodded and casually put the sword back on the table.

None of them noticed—

Zhao Min, who had changed into women's clothing, saw all of this.

A smug smile played on her lips, and her eyes gleamed.

Suddenly, Xiao Yaoqing's voice came from behind: "Where exactly do you put this beaded flower? I don't know how to do it..."

That's right, she actually let Xiao Yaoqing comb her hair.

As Zhao Min turned around, her nose almost brushed against Xiao Yaoqing's.

The two were so close that their breaths hit each other's faces.

Xiao Yaoqing pursed his lips and was about to step back.

Zhao Min immediately reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, pouting as she kissed him on the lips.

Xiao Yaoqing: "..."

He threw the beaded hairpin on the table and yanked Zhao Min off him: "Are you crazy? It's broad daylight! There are people outside!"

He didn't care who was outside.

The key is that there's Zhang Wuji outside.

According to the original story, isn't that guy your real man?

Now that things have come to this, it's clear that Zhao Min has absolutely no romantic feelings for Zhang Wuji; she's purely using the relationship.

Zhao Min's face flushed slightly as she stared at Xiao Yaoqing and whispered, "What are you afraid of? No one can see anyway."

After she finished speaking, she leaned closer again.

Xiao Yaoqing glanced at Zhao Min, who was pressed to her lips, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, but his gaze swept out the window—Zhang Wuji was sitting there upright.

He sighed inwardly: Brother, it's really not that I want to take advantage of you.

A long time passed.

Inside the pavilion, Zhang Wuji, Wei Yixiao, and Yang Xiao sat waiting, but there was no one to greet them, not even a shadow of a person.

Zhang Wuji frowned. Why did Zhao Min take so long to change her clothes?

He finally spoke up: "I think this place doesn't look right. Should we leave?"

Wei Yixiao and Yang Xiao exchanged a glance, then nodded, and the three of them stood up in unison.

I've only taken two steps.

The two elders of Xuanming suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blocking their way, and said in a rather polite tone, "Gentlemen, our master will be back soon. Won't you stay a while longer?"

Zhang Wuji smiled and waved his hand, "We just arrived and haven't settled in yet, so we won't disturb you any longer. Please pass on my apologies to your master."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a clear female voice interjected, "Master Zhang, why don't you just tell me directly?"

Footsteps sounded.

Zhao Min, dressed in women's clothing, and Xiao Yaoqing walked out of the house next door one after the other.

Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao, and Wei Yixiao were all stunned. Their gazes sharpened, and their eyes lit up.

Zhao Min's cheeks were flushed, and she looked incredibly beautiful.

The pink and white gauze dress made her look like she had stepped out of a painting, exuding an ethereal aura. She was already beautiful, but in this dress, coupled with the blush on her face from something she had just done, she was incredibly alluring.

Which man wouldn't be tempted after seeing this?

Even Zhang Wuji, that simple-minded guy, was no exception.

Zhao Min led Xiao Yaoqing to the group, and looking at the still dazed Zhang Wuji, asked with a smile, "Sect Leader Zhang, didn't you have something to say to me just now?"

Zhang Wuji was brought back to his senses by her words and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

He repeated what he had just said to the two elders of Xuanming.

But everyone could hear that his voice was trembling.

The strength of Zhao Min in women's clothing is deadly.

Upon hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Zhao Min smiled slightly and nodded in response, "Please feel free to see me off, Leader Zhang."

Zhang Wuji nodded, winked at Wei Yixiao and Yang Xiao, and then turned and left.

After the two people walked away, Xiao Yaoqing shrugged and said lazily, "That's all, I'll continue."

Zhao Min's blush deepened even more.

But as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xiao Yaoqing use his light footwork to leap into the pavilion, sit down, and start eating again!

Zhao Min bit her lip, clenched her small fists tightly, and stomped her foot hard.

She thought Xiao Yaoqing wanted to continue because Green Willow Manor was quite far from the small Ganliang county town where Zhang Wuji and the others lived.

The three walked and talked, and Wei Yixiao's surprise had not yet subsided: "I really didn't expect that girl who used to always wear men's clothes would look so beautiful and pretty when she changed into a skirt and dressed up."

Indeed, all three of them still had Zhao Min's beautiful face on their minds.

But Yang Xiao frowned, his voice turning deep: "But I always feel that this pretty girl has a creepy feeling about her."

Zhang Wuji shared the same sentiment.

But he couldn't figure it out right now, so he said, "Let's go back and check on Uncle Yin and Sister Bu Hui first."

Wei Yixiao and Yang Xiao nodded in unison, and the three of them prepared to gather their strength and continue their journey.

Just as they were about to get lucky, Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao's expressions changed simultaneously.

Then their bodies went limp, and they collapsed to the ground.

Wei Yixiao's voice was light and airy: "I... I feel so weak all over... What's wrong with me?"

"Oh no! We've been poisoned!"

Upon hearing Wei Yixiao's words, Zhang Wuji's heart tightened.

He immediately mobilized his internal energy, relying on the powerful internal force of the Nine Yang Divine Skill to expel the poison from his body in one go.

Then, his pupils contracted: "I know what that tastes like!"

Indeed, Zhang Wuji remembered the flowers in the pond and the scent emanating from the wooden sword.

Memories of Butterfly Valley flooded back into his mind.

Then, he quickly shouted to Wei Yixiao and Yang Xiao, "Left Envoy Yang, Bat King Wei, please don't use your internal energy!"

"Wait for me here, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he pushed off with his feet, and his whole body soared into the air, speeding straight towards Green Willow Manor.

At this moment, the two elders of Xuanming had disappeared from Green Willow Manor.

Xiao Yaoqing sat in the pavilion, still stuffing something into his mouth.

Zhao Min sat next to him and said with a helpless expression, "Xiao Yaoqing was eating his rice when he suddenly heard Zhao Min urging him."

"Xiao Yaoqing, can you eat faster?"

Xiao Yaoqing looked up at her, a puzzled expression on his face: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Min blushed slightly, her eyes sparkling: "Let's finish eating quickly... then let's go inside."

Xiao Yaoqing paused, chopsticks in motion.

What's this woman up to so early in the morning?

Can't hold it in any longer?

Is there really such a rush?

He forced down the food in his mouth and asked, "Aren't we waiting for Zhang Wuji?"

The moment those words left her mouth, the light in Zhao Min's eyes vanished, and her face fell.

"Sigh...yes, we still have to wait for him to get the antidote."

"Why isn't Zhang Wuji here yet? He's just wasting my time..."

Xiao Yaoqing's lips twitched—What the hell am I doing to delay your business?

The words had barely left his mouth when the sound of wind breaking came from outside.

Zhao Min suddenly looked up, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes when she saw Zhang Wuji.

Of course, this light is completely different from the one in the original story.

She stood up abruptly and shouted at Zhang Wuji, who was landing gracefully, "Why is Leader Zhang back again? What's the meaning of this?"

Zhang Wuji looked at her, his face expressionless: "I've come to borrow a few flowers from you, miss."

After saying that, he used his light-footed skill to fly above the pond, reached out and beckoned, and a few flowers fell into his hand.

He added rather politely, "Thank you for the antidote, young lady."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But Zhao Min's Swallow Return skill was faster than his, and she directly blocked his way: "Taking the things and leaving isn't quite right, is it?"

Zhang Wuji's lightness skill isn't like the rainbow that appears in fantasy novels; he needs to use leverage.

Stopped by Zhao Min, he could only land in the pavilion first.

The moment his foot touched the ground, Zhang Wuji felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively took two steps back.

That's right.

Xiao Yaoqing was sitting directly in front of him, eating.

He wasn't afraid of Zhao Min stopping him, but this Xiao Yaoqing... At this moment, when Zhao Min saw him retreat to that position, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

She immediately landed in the pavilion and kicked the bench next to her hard.

"boom!"

The floor beneath Zhang Wuji's feet collapsed.

Immediately afterward, Zhao Min exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yaoqing!!"

That's right.

Xiao Yaoqing, who was eating, was inexplicably dragged into this.

He knows the original plot too well.

He had known all along that Zhang Wuji would return.

Suddenly, the mechanism in the pavilion activated, and Zhang Wuji lost his balance and fell forward.

He instinctively reached out and grabbed Xiao Yaoqing, who was standing next to him.

Xiao Yaoqing was still picking up food, and before he could even put down his chopsticks, he was pulled backward and fell down.

The two people fell into the hole one after the other.

boom--

The lid closed, and the pavilion returned to its original state, leaving only the spot where Xiao Yaoqing had just sat empty.

Bottom of the pit.

Xiao Yaoqing was still holding chopsticks in his hand, and the rice in his bowl had spilled all over the floor.

He stared at Zhang Wuji in front of him, remaining silent for a long time.

Zhang Wuji remained silent, but his mind was in turmoil.

He should have been furious that he had fallen into Zhao Min's trap, but now his mind was filled with another thought—how could I have dragged him down?

Isn't that just asking for death?

He couldn't beat the person in front of him.

Zhang Wuji slowly backed away until his back pressed against the pit wall.

Little did he know, Xiao Yaoqing was even more bewildered than he was.

"Shouldn't Zhao Min have been brought down in the original story?"

Xiao Yaoqing's mind raced through the plot, "Later, in order to get out, I shouldn't have gone with her..."

He stopped abruptly and blurted out, "Listen to me, don't touch my shoes!"

Zhang Wuji was stunned.

What is that?

Why would I touch your shoes?

I don't have that problem!

His gaze towards Xiao Yaoqing changed slightly.

Xiao Yaoqing also realized what was happening and looked at Zhang Wuji's expression: "This person shouldn't have that kind of fetish, right?"

Looking down at the chopsticks still covered in rice grains on his hands, and then at the puddle of rice on the ground, Xiao Yaoqing was utterly speechless.

Are you sick?

He glared at Zhang Wuji, "Would it kill you to let me finish my meal in peace?"

"Well……"

Zhang Wuji opened his mouth, but surprisingly apologized first: "I'm sorry."
