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

Wu Xingyun also sent a message, urging Lin Zhu and Shen Bijun to hurry up so they could spend the New Year at Lingjiu Palace.

Zhu Qiqi also asked Shen Bijun where she was now.

Besides that, we discussed things related to the martial arts world.

For example, the Second Blade King recently went to Lingnan to challenge Song Que of the Heavenly Blade Sect.

Song Que accepted the challenge, and the two fought for three hundred rounds, ending the battle with the Second Blade Emperor slightly losing by one move.

The Second Blade King was not convinced and challenged the other to a rematch at this time next year.

Song Que agreed and inquired about the First Evil Emperor's strength. Upon learning that the First Evil Emperor had already reached the Demon Realm, he gave up the idea of ​​challenging him.

The Demon Realm is another variant of the Heavenly Realm, where one becomes a demon through their own body. Even within the Heavenly Realm, it is an extremely powerful state.

Only a terrestrial immortal could reliably defeat the Evil Emperor.

Chapter 145 was blocked.

When Lin Zhu woke up in the morning, she placed her hand in a warm place.

As usual, Shen Bijun blushed and her eyelids twitched; she simply refused to get up before Lin Zhu.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time the two had done this.

Lin Zhu withdrew his hand and, pretending to shake her gently, said, "You're awake."

Shen Bijun groaned and said, "Get up first, I'll be right there."

"Okay!" Lin Zhu gently lifted the covers and walked out into the living room.

Shen Bijun changed into her close-fitting trousers inside before coming out.

On this day, heavy snow fell like goose feathers.

Pushing open the window and seeing the heavy snow, Shen Bijun asked, "Should we stay here for a day?"

"Okay! We'll leave after the snow stops."

If he were alone, Lin Zhu wouldn't care whether it was heavy snow or not; he would still have to leave.

But Shen Bijun was different; she decided to wait until the snow stopped before leaving.

And this wait lasted for three days.

Three consecutive days of heavy snow blocked the roads, and the snow piled up to the windows on the first floor.

Fortunately, the food supplies for the winter were plentiful, and the houses were of good quality, so the houses in the city were not crushed by the snow.

Three days later, the heavy snow finally stopped.

Lin Zhu and Shen Bijun were able to continue their journey.

Lin Zhu, with her arm around Shen Bijun's waist, carried someone, yet still managed to leave no trace in the snow as they headed northwest.

When they reached Hulao Pass, Shen Bijun said, "Why don't we go around it?"

"Go around? Passing by your own home three times without entering?" A voice came from afar; it was Shen Lang.

He guarded Hulao Pass, which was the only way to enter Luoyang and the shortest route to Tianshan.

As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared in front of the two of them, looking at Shen Bijun with a hint of reproach on his face.

"Big Brother!" Shen Bijun blushed and bowed to Shen Lang.

"Alright, let's not talk about this between siblings." Shen Lang waved his hand, then bowed to Lin Zhu, "Thank you, Brother Lin, for saving my life."

Lin Zhu returned the greeting, "Brother Shen, you're too kind. I'm just glad you didn't blame me for taking her away."

Shen Lang shook his head and sighed, "No wonder, Brother Lin. If anyone is to blame, it's the carefree Marquis of Puppet Manor. We've wronged Bi Jun by letting her marry into Wugou Manor."

Lin Zhu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Shen Bijun also looked at Shen Lang with curiosity.

The two of them have been captured by Shen Lang and it seems they have been waiting at Hulao Pass for quite some time. They are definitely going to the Shen family in Luoyang.

The three of them walked and talked.

Shen Lang said, "Ever since I learned of your accident, I've had people investigate Xiaoyao Hou. We discovered that he has close ties with Wugou Manor and harbors deep grudges, which is why he's been targeting you. Lian Chengbi is not a good match for you. After learning that you were rescued, he sent the letter of annulment to my uncle."

Shen Bijun said, "He probably thinks I've already become unfaithful."

Shen Lang gave a wry smile, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Lian Chengbi knew exactly what kind of person Xiaoyao Hou was: he possessed unparalleled strength and superb lightness skills. How easy would it be for him to abduct a woman with weak martial arts skills and take her virginity?

Let alone a Grandmaster, even if three Grandmasters attacked together, they might not be a match for the ultimate opponent.

Lian Chengbi didn't believe that Lin Zhu, a mere Grandmaster, could save someone from the hands of Xiaoyao Hou.

For Wugou Manor, a woman who has lost her chastity is not worthy of entering the manor.

Lin Zhu's letter was delivered to Hua Manlou five days after Shen Bijun was rescued.

At this time, Hua Manlou had already parted ways with Lian Chengbi and was waiting for news from Lin Zhu in Changzhou City.

In just five days, the daylilies had gone cold.

Of course, the engagement was called off, but Wugou Manor handled the etiquette very well.

Not only did they not demand a dowry worth hundreds of thousands of strings of cash, they also gave an extra 800,000 taels of silver as compensation.

The appearance of the Carefree Marquis was ultimately due to his Wugou Manor.

At the same time, Lian Chengbi also made a promise not to kill Xiaoyao Hou and vowed never to remarry.

In short, he played both good and bad roles, all in order to maintain the century-old reputation of Wugou Manor.

Regardless of whether Shen Bijun lost her chastity, she could no longer marry into Wugou Manor.

As the owner of Wugou Manor, Lian Chengbi is able to suppress his emotions to the greatest extent possible, maximizing the benefits and minimizing the losses of Wugou Manor.

One or two hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing to Wugou Manor; its reputation and honor accumulated over hundreds of years are what truly matter.

As Shen Lang recounted his story, Shen Bijun felt a surge of relief and even a sense of gratitude towards Marquis Xiaoyao.

She quickly shook her head.

Wugou Manor and the Shen family of Luoyang are far apart. Their alliance is merely due to their similar social standing, without any deep ties of interest.

Therefore, Lian Chengbi was not worried about offending the Shen family.

The Shen family has martial arts masters, and Wugou Manor is no exception.

"Do Grandma and Father blame me?" Shen Bijun asked Shen Lang.

“How can you blame yourself?” Shen Lang shook his head. “If anyone is to blame, it’s Marquis Xiaoyao and Lian Chengbi.”

Arriving at Hulao Pass, one looks up at the towering city wall, which is over thirty feet high. Built against the mountain, the wall is over ten feet thick, making it extremely majestic.

So, how do you beat this level?

Lin Zhu couldn't help but ask this question.

At that time, the world was at peace, and apart from the regular garrison, Hulao Pass was not strictly guarded. Whether it was a scholar-official or a commoner, anyone could pass through here.

Its length was less than ten miles, and the three of them quickly passed through it and headed towards Luoyang.

Shen Bijun asked curiously, "Big brother, how did you know we'd be here? Did your wife tell you?"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Yes."

He seemed to know something, but didn't ask any further questions.

He didn't ask, so Shen Bijun didn't say anything either.

Lin Zhu remained silent.

There are so many amazing things in this world, it doesn't matter if this kind of seemingly mysterious way of contacting someone doesn't exist.

The Mo family's Vermilion Bird mechanical beast can even fly.

The White Tiger Mechanical Beast's strength is comparable to that of a top-tier expert.

Taoism and Yin-Yang philosophy can divine the secrets of heaven, while Confucianism can speak eloquently and move people's hearts with its writings.

Shen Lang wasn't surprised by this mere special communication method.

Of course, that's his opinion.

I heard that the Mohists have been working on something called a "thousand-mile communication device" lately, but I don't know if they've succeeded yet.

If he manages to figure it out, Shen Lang is thinking of getting one.

By the way, it seems the Gongshu family is also involved; they are currently working under King Ying Zheng of Qin.

The problem is that, like mechanical beasts, these things might not be mass-producible, which would make things difficult.

Just like the Four Great Mechanical Beasts and the Overlord series of Mechanical Beasts, they are only controlled by the Mo family and the Gongshu family, and others are not allowed to obtain them.

Even the Zhou royal family was unwilling to offend the Mohists.

This Mohist school is not the one that was suppressed; most of the artisans in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty were disciples of the Mohist school.

If pushed too far, aside from the four mechanical beasts, they can still conjure up something similar to a machine gun by hand.

There are four things in the Great Zhou that you cannot afford to offend.

Taoism, Mohism, Confucianism, and the Zhou imperial family.

You read that right, this is the ranking.

As for Buddhism, it is, after all, a foreign religion and doctrine, and anyone can kick it while they're down if they want to.

Of course, the prerequisite is having the capability.

Chapter 146 Zhao Min's Joy: The System's New Function

The entire city was covered in snow.

Shen Lang brought Lin Zhu and Shen Bijun back to the Shen family.

When Old Madam Shen saw Shen Bijun return, she sighed softly, "It's good that she's alright, it's good that she's alright. Lian Chengbi was never a good match after all."
