Water Margin: Gao Yanei is actually a Gal Genius

Having received no news from Gao Jin for the past few days, Chen Liqing was growing increasingly anxious. At that moment, she dismounted and drew her iron rod, swinging it at Lin Chong.

Lin Chong was also annoyed, and brandishing his broadsword, he engaged her in a fierce fight.

They fought for about thirty rounds.

How could a simple wooden stick be a match for a fine iron dragon-patterned staff? With a snap, it broke in two. Lin Chong threw the two pieces of the wooden stick at Chen Liqing and then turned and ran.

"Let whoever wants to hit me do it," he suddenly realized why Gao Jin had been avoiding the woman in that courtyard.

She's insane and doesn't reason! If you don't kill her, she'll unleash deadly attacks without restraint.

Just as Chen Liqing was about to grab her stick and give chase, she heard someone shouting in the distance.

"Instructor Lin, my brother has prepared a feast on the mountain. Why don't you quickly invite Madam up the mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Liqing looked in that direction and saw a boat moored on the distant shore, with several henchmen shouting and yelling on board.

Two blushes rose to Chen Liqing's cheeks. She stamped her foot and uttered a light, airy sentence.

"Brother, how can you be like this? You're not even married yet, and you're already calling her 'Madam'!"

Lin Chong had only run a few steps when he heard the shout and quickly turned back.

"My brother isn't on the mountain; Miss Chen has probably misunderstood!"

Chen Liqing glared at him with hatred.

"You scoundrel, trying to trick me! I'll settle things with you after I've seen my brother!"

Lin Chong made a move to stop her, but Chen Liqing raised the iron rod in her hand.

Lin Chong retreated dejectedly, thinking to himself, "Fine, fine, I might as well leave Liangshan and find another way to protect this woman."

Only in this way can we repay Brother Gao Jin's kindness and loyalty.

Lin Chong said nothing more and walked towards the boats on the shore.

Seeing that Lin Chong was obedient, Chen Liqing nodded slightly, satisfied, put the iron rod back on the saddle, and led the horse toward the small boat.

Lu Qian had arrived at the boat at some point and was waiting for the two of them.

The three men boarded the boat, and because there were horses, many henchmen disembarked, leaving only three or four oarsmen on the boat.

On the boat, Lin Chong and Chen Liqing ignored each other. Lu Qian approached Chen Liqing, bowed, and asked, "Madam, what brings you here?"

Seeing how clever this person was, Chen Liqing replied gently, "It's all because of your heartless brother who ran here without saying a word."

Lu Qian was taken aback, completely bewildered. He glanced at the henchman rowing the oars and said in a low voice, "Isn't the young master in Tokyo?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Liqing's face immediately turned icy. "You think you can fool me?"

Lu Qian dared not speak again, and retreated to Lin Chong's side. Looking up, he saw Lin Chong shaking his head and sighing without saying a word.

The three remained silent on the way to Golden Beach, where they disembarked. The leader was already waiting on the shore, but Wang Lun was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that Chen Liqing was not tied up, Zhu Gui clasped his hands in a salute and said, "You've had a hard time, young lady. Your brother is waiting for you in the hall up on the mountain."

Chen Liqing, displeased that Gao Jin hadn't come to greet her, thought, "What kind of good deed has my brother been up on the mountain that he hasn't come to welcome his little sister?"

"Brother personally prepared a feast on the mountain to welcome the young lady and wash away the dust of her journey," Zhu Gui replied.

Chen Liqing nodded upon hearing this, "You still have some conscience. Please take me up the mountain."

After speaking, Lu Qian took the package from the saddle, and Chen Liqing carried the iron dragon-patterned staff. Surrounded by a group of people, they headed towards the top of the mountain.

Lin Chong hung at a distance behind the group, and when they passed the pass, he found a long spear and held it upside down in his hand.

As Zhu Gui walked along, he introduced the sights and sights of Liangshan to Chen Liqing. Chen Liqing nodded frequently, thinking that this man was eloquent, spoke logically and reasonably, and was quite capable, making him a suitable person to be a greeter.

Before long, the group arrived at the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

Wang Lun had changed into a striking outfit, with a dried flower in his hair and some powder on his face. He was already standing at the entrance of the hall, eagerly waiting.

After everyone ascended the steps, Wang Lun came forward and went straight to Chen Liqing, staring intently at her blue veil as if trying to see through the thin fabric.

"This young lady looks familiar. Where have I seen her before?"

Chen Liqing frowned, thinking, "Why did my brother bring this greasy-haired, effeminate woman here?"

Knowing she was about to see her brother Gao Jin, she couldn't bring herself to cause trouble. "I'm from Tokyo..."

Before Chen Liqing could finish speaking, Wang Lun interrupted her smugly, "So you're from Tokyo. No wonder you look familiar. You don't know, but I also went to Tokyo to take the imperial examinations a few years ago!"

"I suppose I met the girl once back then..."

Chen Liqing was impatient, but fearing that Gao Jin's brother was in the hall, she had no choice but to gently interrupt Wang Lun.

"My sister rarely leaves the house, so please, sir, don't talk nonsense."

Wang Lun felt a little embarrassed. He glanced around and, seeing that all his brothers were there, reached out to grab the blue veil on Chen Liqing's head.

"Now that you've come up the mountain, young lady, you're family. Why be so reserved?"

Chen Liqing raised her iron rod forward, blocking Wang Lun's hand.

"You..." Chen Liqing held back her curse and took a breath, "...Never mind, let me go see my brother first."

Wang Lun smiled smugly, gripping the iron bar with one hand while reaching towards Chen Liqing's head and face with the other, "I am your brother, young lady."

Wang Lun finally got his wish and removed Chen Liqing's green veil.

At first glance, he saw that the lovely girl had her head down and her face was lowered. Although he could not see her in full, the few glimpses he could see were already incredibly beautiful.

Her delicate body trembled slightly with fear, which aroused Wang Lun's pity. He forgot about the iron bar and opened his arms to embrace the beauty and give her a sense of security.

Before his hand could even touch Chen Liqing, the beauty looked up, revealing a pair of almond-shaped eyes that flashed with a cold light.

Wang Lun then felt everything go black and lost consciousness.

With a "bang," a round, lumpy object flew out of the village and disappeared into the forest.

The entire room fell silent.

Chen Liqing wiped the blood from her face, looked at Wang Lun's headless corpse, slowly raised her head, and her gaze swept over Zhu Gui, Du Qian, and Song Wan in turn before she put the green veil back on.

The three leaders were all well-traveled and experienced, but they had never seen a delicate young woman strike someone's head with a single blow. At this moment, they felt their legs tremble and they could not speak.

"You...call this filthy thing your brother?"

The female assassin star has spoken!

Du Qian and Song Wan felt their legs buckle and they collapsed to their knees with a thud.

The kneeling men startled the henchmen, who slowly surrounded them, carrying knives and spears.

Zhu Gui watched as Wang Lun's body convulsed helplessly on the ground, blood still gushing from his neck. He felt a sudden dryness in his mouth and couldn't speak.

Chen Liqing ignored the thugs who surrounded her. When she received no response from the three men, she felt her patience waning and swung her stick at them.

With a clang, the iron rod was stopped by an iron spear.

Chen Liqing didn't bother to see who it was; only Lin Chong on this mountain could stop her.

"Lin Chong, you remained silent just now, were you hoping to see me make a fool of myself?!"

Lin Chong leaned on his spear and said, "Miss Chen has misunderstood. I explained it before: my brother is not here, but you wouldn't listen."

"These three men are all men of honor and loyalty. Please, Miss Chen, show them mercy... If there is nothing else, please return to Tokyo as soon as possible. I'm sure your brother is still waiting for you."

Lin Chong still believes that Chen Liqing has fallen ill. Although she seemed like a normal woman a few days before he left, who can say for sure what a madwoman is like?

"My brother..." Chen Liqing stopped abruptly.

How am I supposed to explain this to Lin Chong? Gao Jin doesn't want her anymore?

Adjusting her tone, she continued, "I won't be going back for now."

How could Brother Gao Jin not come looking for Lin Chong?

Hearing their conversation, Zhu Guifu was deeply moved and prostrated himself on the ground, exclaiming, "Such a powerful and valiant young lady, she is truly deserving to be the leader of this mountain stronghold!"

Upon seeing this, Song Wan and Du Qian hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, pleading, "Please, young lady, become the leader of Liangshan!"

Seeing this, the henchmen also threw their weapons to the ground and knelt down.

"We want you to be the leader of Liangshan!"
