Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

It would be somewhat incongruous if Butcher Ding were to actually be with her.

The situation is not optimistic.

Chapter 131 Mother of Two Children

Not only did Jing Ke see it, but Chen Bangling herself could also see it, but she politely declined to comment.

All she wants to do now is raise her two children; she doesn't want anything else.

The next day, Wu Xingyun prepared to return to Lingjiu Palace with the people around him.

Zhang San Niang, Huang Rong, Lin Shi Yin, Su Rong Rong, You Ruo, the four sword attendants, and Ji Ru.

Both the Emperor and Consort Yan were willing to let Ji Ru become a disciple of Wu Xingyun, so they set off together.

As the group approached the Vermilion Bird Gate, they saw three identical-looking figures already waiting there.

"Grandma, look! They're triplets, identical triplets!" Huang Rong exclaimed in surprise, pointing to Tang Bohu, Shi Difeng, and Ling Lingfa.

Hey, it's true, the three of them look exactly alike, just dressed differently.

One of them they recognized was Shi Difeng, the "God of Cookery" from yesterday's cooking competition.

Lin Zhu also saw these three. No, this is truly the Great World, there are actually three people who look exactly alike.

Ling Ling Fa was dressed in casual clothes today, so he couldn't tell who he was.

But he knew about Tang Bohu and Shi Difeng.

"Brother Tang, I thought this Master Shi was someone you were impersonating to participate in the competition. I didn't expect you two were actually two different people!"

"Haha, Brother Lin, you're quite surprised, aren't you?" Tang Bohu greeted him with a smile, then bowed respectfully, "Junior Tang Bohu greets Senior Tong Lao."

"Junior Shi Difeng (Linglingfa) greets Senior Tonglao."

"No need!" Granny Tianshan waved her sleeve. "Who are you here to see?"

Lin Zhu then realized that the third Ah Xing was Ah Fa, the one who was very good at inventing and was also a secret agent of the Imperial Guard.

"We're here to see Brother Lin, mainly to invite him to be the backer of our Huaxia Food Restaurant. My brother said he'd give him 30% of the shares. What do you think, senior...?"

Tang Bohu asked this question.

Wu Xingyun knew exactly what Tang Bohu meant, and snorted, "That's his business, why are you asking me?"

Lin Zhu stepped forward, hooked his arm around Tang Bohu's shoulder, and said to the side, "Brother Tang, is there something wrong with you? I'm just a Grandmaster, how can I be your backer?"

“This is different. You have a wide network of connections, so do me a favor,” Tang Bohu said in a low voice.

Lin Zhu thought for a moment and felt that it was not suitable for her, so she said, "I'm not going to settle down in the capital. You should find someone else. I'll give you a way that I'm sure will work."

Tang Bohu said, "I've been waiting for you to say that, Brother Lin."

"So you were waiting for me here!" Lin Zhu elbowed Tang Bohu in the stomach.

Tang Bohu was caught off guard and almost lost his breath. "Brother Lin, you went too far."

"Tch, a half-step Grandmaster, so easily defeated." Lin Zhu chuckled. "Alright, I'll see Grandma and the others off. Tell me a location, and I'll go back to the city to discuss it with you."

"Good brother!" Tang Bohu laughed, then bid farewell to Lin Zhu along with Shi Difeng and Linglingfa.

"Why not accept the benefits offered to us? With Shi Difeng's skills, he can earn at least a million or two hundred thousand taels of silver a year in this capital city, if not a lot."

As Wu Xingyun walked, he spoke to Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu laughed and said, "They don't value me at all; they clearly have designs on you, Grandma."

"You're asking for it!" He received a slap on the head, but it didn't hurt at all. Wu Xingyun said, "You don't speak clearly. What do you mean by having designs on me? Stop joking around with me."

Lin Zhu was unaware that Wu Xingyun's self-designation had changed.

"I was wrong, Grandma!" he readily admitted.

The group chatted all the way until they arrived at Yuelai Inn.

At the entrance, Li Ji, Jing Ke, Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Chu Liuxiang, and others were already waiting to see them off.

"Greetings, Senior Tong Lao."

"No need!" Wu Xingyun waved his sleeve again, looking at Hua Manlou, "The Seventh Child of the Hua Family?"

Hua Manlou stepped out, saying, "It is indeed this junior."

"Xiao Zhuzi told me about you. Your eyes can be cured. The simplest way is to get a new pair of eyes."

After hearing about Hua Manlou, Wu Xingyun still admired him.

Hua Manlou shook his head, "This method is not what I wish for. Thank you in advance, senior."

“Sigh, you’re a bit old-fashioned, but it’s good!” Wu Xingyun nodded. “There’s another way. Go to Mantuo Manor and find my junior brother. Just say that I told you. Become his disciple and let him teach you the Beiming Divine Art. Once you reach the final level, you can be reborn and transformed. Your eyes will also be healed without any medicine.”

Hua Manlou shook his head again, "Senior, I already have a master, and I have become a disciple of Song Yuanqiao, the head of Wudang Mountain. I can only thank you again..."

"Thank me my ass!" A hand slapped Hua Manlou on the back of the head. "You old-fashioned fool, Wudang Mountain has no disciple like you."

Zhang Sanfeng appeared here quite abruptly and slapped Hua Manlou so hard that he stumbled.

Hua Manlou's face lit up with joy. "Grandmaster, you haven't left yet!"

"Leave? Are you so eager for your grandmaster to open the Heavenly Gate and leave?" Zhang Sanfeng glared at Hua Manlou, then looked at Wu Xingyun. "Fellow Daoist Wu, this Hua family brat has been expelled from the Wudang Sect by me. From now on, he is a member of your Xiaoyao Sect. What do you say?"

With Zhang Sanfeng as guarantor, Wu Xingyun had no objections and nodded, saying, "Alright, but he'll have to go to Mantuo Manor to ask for the Northern Darkness Divine Skill himself." He then turned his gaze to Hua Manlou, "Remember, just say that I asked him to take you as my disciple. His name is Wuyazi. Let Xiaozhu accompany you on your trip south."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Zhu.

“It’s Grandma.” Although Lin Zhu felt that Wu Xingyun and Zhang Sanfeng were being very casual, she still agreed.

Wu Xingyun then looked at Chen Bangling, "What, you don't even come over to greet me? Don't you recognize me?"

Chen Bangling tried hard to recall, but she had never seen this person before and couldn't remember him for a moment.

"Twenty years ago, in the Sichuan-Tibet region, who taught you martial arts?" Wu Xingyun asked Chen Bangling. "Indeed, I am no longer a child, so you wouldn't recognize me."

"You, you are that senior from back then?" Chen Bangling remembered that apart from her and the person who saved her, no one else knew about this.

Years ago, while searching for ingredients in the Sichuan-Tibet region, she accidentally fell off a cliff. Fortunately, she was rescued by someone named Wu Xingyun.

However, Wu Xingyun has never revealed his identity.

Recalling the martial arts techniques in the group chat, the "Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Alone Am Supreme" technique, she was certain that the two figures had merged together.

Previously, because she wanted to live a quiet life, she had never thought of recognizing Wu Xingyun and Lin Zhu.

In an instant, two tear tracks slowly rolled down her cheeks, her knees buckled, and she was about to kneel down, crying out, "Senior!"

Wu Xingyun snorted, "Why are you kneeling? Get up. I didn't expect your child to be so grown up after more than 20 years."

“Yes, I’m already a mother of two.” Chen Bangling stepped forward and looked at Wu Xingyun, her eyes filled with boundless affection.

Huang Rong's eyes lit up. "It's you! I know you now. You never speak."

“It’s me!” Chen Bangling nodded and then sent a message in the group.

Mother of Two (IP Beijing): I am Chen Bangling, hello everyone!

Lin Zhu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Maoxing and Liu Keling. This woman was indeed the mother of two children, but with such a name, who would recognize her!

Chapter 132 Zhang Sanfeng: Humble and Eager to Learn

[Ding, Chen Bangling has revealed her identity. You have gained half a year's worth of cultivation.]

"I think I'm about to break through," Chen Bangling said.

“Then go and break through,” Wu Xingyun said. “I will protect you.”

Chen Bangling was somewhat excited at this moment, "Thank you, Grandma!" Perhaps it was because of recognizing Wu Xingyun that she was so excited, and coupled with the impact of half a year of cultivation, she was able to break through the thin barrier between Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster.

"No need to call me Grandma, just call me Master from now on," Wu Xingyun said with a smile. She really needed a successor.

"Disciple greets Master." Chen Bangling quickly knelt down, confirming the master-disciple relationship. "Master, please take your time. After I break through, I will prepare a spiritual meal for you."

Wu Xingyun thought for a moment. She hadn't tried Chen Bangling's cooking yet, so she nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

The group returned to the Yuelai Inn.

Zhang Sanfeng followed.

Seeing the curious looks from the crowd, he said, "I've come here to beg for food, you don't mind, do you?"

“Of course I don’t mind,” Chen Bangling said with a smile. “It’s kind of you, Mr. Zhang, to grace us with your presence.”

She went into seclusion, with Wu Xingyun protecting her. Then she looked at Lin Zhu and said, "Go about your business. We'll leave tomorrow."

"Okay, Grandma!" Lin Zhu was about to leave Yue Lai Inn when she thought for a moment and asked, "Master Zhang, would you like to come with me?"

Zhang Sanfeng pointed to himself, "This humble Taoist?"

“Yeah, I’m going to meet someone. Maybe I can get a free lunch,” Lin Zhu said.

Zhang Sanfeng asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Lin Zhu said, "Brother Shi Feng."

Zhang Sanfeng's mind raced, and after considering it for a moment, he didn't see anything wrong with it and said, "Let's go."

Two people, one old and one young, one disheveled and one neat, walked out of the Yuelai Inn.

As Zhang Sanfeng walked, he said, "I have seen Grandmasters who were sixteen or seventeen years old before, such as Xiaomeng from the Heavenly Sect. As for Grandmasters who were fourteen years old, you are the only one in history. I don't know how you cultivated."

"Hehe!" Lin Zhu chuckled. "Thank you for the compliment, Master Zhang."

The two discussed their understanding of Tai Chi along the way, with Zhang Sanfeng mainly giving the talk.

He found Lin Zhu agreeable, so he explained a lot of the profound meaning of Tai Chi and also revealed a bit about his own cultivation method, the four levels of the ninth chapter of the Nine Heavens True Scripture.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu suddenly understood, and the true energy within his body circulated faster and faster. After traveling this distance, his skill had deepened even further.

Zhang Sanfeng was extremely satisfied and felt a great sense of accomplishment. Indeed, when it comes to teaching disciples, it's best to teach geniuses.

The two soon arrived at Huaxia Food Restaurant.

Tang Bohu, Shi Difeng, and Ling Lingfa are waiting here.

When they saw Lin Zhu bring Zhang Sanfeng over, apart from Ling Lingfa, the mouths of the other two people were agape.
