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

Zhang San Niang was taken aback upon hearing this, then felt a surge of anger and coldly replied, "Of course my father is alive and well, so there's no need for this young master to concern himself with him."

Chapter 24 Yue Maiden Swordplay

Duan Yu was dumbfounded and stammered, "I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me, young lady."

"Hmph!" Zhang Sanniang snorted coldly, "I don't care whether you did it intentionally or not, but please don't appear in front of me again." She had a fiery personality and couldn't stand men like Duan Yu who were so timid and hesitant.

Besides, who would greet someone's father the moment they meet them?

Duan Yu felt ashamed and glanced at Wang Yuyan. Seeing that she had no intention of speaking up for him, he felt extremely disappointed.

Tang Bohu patted Duan Yu on the shoulder sympathetically, "Brother Duan, how about I accompany you on a tour of Wuxi?"

With Tang Bohu offering a way out, Duan Yu wasn't ungrateful. "Thank you, Brother Tang." Then he turned to Lin Zhu, Wang Yuyan, and Zhang Sanniang and said, "I won't bother you any longer."

"I'll take my leave now, Brother Lin, goodbye!"

Out of sympathy, Tang Bohu decided to take Duan Yu on a good trip to Wuxi.

As the two walked further away, they heard Duan Yu say, "Brother Tang, do you know where we can get drunk and rest in peace?"

"Then it's Songhelou, of course."

The two walked towards the city of Wuxi.

Zhang San Niang finally calmed down, saying, "Your friend is really too rude."

Wang Yuyan felt embarrassed for Duan Yu for a moment.

Lin Zhu pointed to his head and explained, "Brother Duan has encountered a slight problem here, please forgive me, Miss Zhang."

"Never mind," Zhang Sanniang waved her hand, then walked to Lin Zhu's side. "But why are you being so polite, little sister? Can't you call me 'sister'? You look so pitiful, even I find you lovely." As she spoke, she reached out to touch Lin Zhu's face.

Lin Zhu quickly dodged away, about to speak.

Wang Yuyan blurted out, "Third Sister, please stop teasing Renqian. He's a boy now."

"Hehehe!" Zhang Sanniang covered her mouth and laughed. "He is indeed a handsome young man. How about I be your wife? And what about Yuyan?"

"Third Sister!" Wang Yuyan protested, letting out a soft snort.

The two hit it off immediately, feeling as if there was no distance between them at all.

'Do women's friendships come so quickly?' Lin Zhu thought helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking. Besides, Renqian might not even want us!" Zhang Sanniang continued to tease.

Lin Zhu sighed and said, "Sisters, I am truly a man."

Zhang San Niang and Wang Yu Yan nodded in unison and said, "We didn't say you weren't!" They then exchanged a smile.

'Fine, you just don't believe me. I'm telling you beforehand, don't say I took advantage of you later.' That's the only way Lin Zhu could console herself.

"Let's go, I'll take you to where you'll stay. The Beggars' Guild meeting in Xingzilin is tomorrow morning. We have time, so I'll go with you tomorrow."

Zhang San Niang took one person in each hand and led them away from the dock to the Yue Lai Inn.

[Ding! Detected that Zhang San Niang has revealed her identity; she has gained half a year's worth of cultivation.]

Looking at the signboard of Yuelai Inn, Zhang Sanniang asked, "Do you know whose property this Yuelai Inn belongs to?"

Lin Zhu and Wang Yuyan both shook their heads.

Zhang Sanniang said, "This is the property of the Hua family of Jinling. They control most of the commercial land in Jiangnan. They are even more landlords than landlords. Come in. I've reserved a courtyard for you."

The accommodations at Yuelai Inn are divided into four levels: lower-class rooms, middle-class rooms, upper-class rooms, and private courtyards.

The detached houses are the most expensive and the most luxurious.

"Sister, you've gone to so much trouble." Along the way, Wang Yuyan and Zhang Sanniang chatted more and more congenially, addressing each other as "sister" and "younger sister," omitting any prefixes.

Lin Zhu had always been quite quiet.

He actually wanted to ask Wang Yuyan what kind of cultivation technique she had obtained from A Qing, but he never had the chance.

"Why are you being so polite with me, sister?" Zhang San Niang was quite forthright, and it was precisely because of this that she later came to like a character like Yan Nantian.

"Renqian is so quiet, could it be that he doesn't like me?"

"No, that's not true." Lin Zhu just didn't know how to talk to a woman face to face, so he didn't say much along the way.

Especially when she was mistaken for a woman.

This face is so deceptive that no one would believe the truth.

Especially Wang Yuyan, how come she speaks so fast!

"It seems Renqian is going to be a quiet, handsome man!" Zhang Sanniang teased as she led the two to a secluded courtyard. "You've spent the night on the boat, so you must be hungry. See if this suits your taste."

Breakfast has already been set out on the table.

Wang Yuyan was indeed a little hungry, and said, "Thank you, sister."

Lin Zhu also expressed his gratitude.

The three of them had breakfast together.

Zhang Sanniang said, "I was hoping we could meet in person and see if we could gain more cultivation, but it's still only half a year. It's such a pity."

Lin Zhu couldn't help but ask, "Sister, have you forgotten about Feng Heng and Huang Rong?"

Zhang San Niang was taken aback. "I had overlooked that." She paused and said, "I was planning to show you around the city, but now..."

Since he had accepted the food, Lin Zhu offered, "It's alright, you can go ahead and refine it, I'll protect you."

"My little brother is so sweet." Zhang San Niang winked playfully twice, then sneakily kissed Lin Zhu on the cheek. "Sister got the better deal!"

Lin Zhu blushed slightly; he hadn't prepared for this at all.

"Hehehe!" Zhang Sanniang chuckled as she returned to her room, thinking to herself, 'Boys don't blush so easily.'

Wang Yuyan also looked at Lin Zhu's face, her eyes somewhat unfocused, as if she wanted to kiss him too.

The blush on Lin Zhu's face vanished in an instant, and she said to Wang Yuyan, "Don't look at it, it's just a face, what's there to see?"

Wang Yuyan said, "If I grew up to look like you, my cousin, then he wouldn't have left me."

Lin Zhu was incredibly frustrated; he didn't want to emphasize it anymore, he was exhausted.

Instead, he asked, "What martial arts technique did you acquire last night?"

Speaking of this, Wang Yuyan also came to her senses, "Lianxing's Mingyu Skill, Yaoyue's Yihua Jieyu, and Senior Aqing's Yue Nu Sword Technique. However, this Yue Nu Sword Technique is very different from the one circulating in the martial arts world."

Lin Zhu said, "Of course, this is A Qing's sword technique, and its power must have surpassed the limitations of this world. When you cultivate the Mingyu Gong, I will help you guide the Qi into your body."

"Okay!" Wang Yuyan nodded in agreement, eagerly anticipating the prospect of staying young forever.

Meanwhile, Tang Bohu and Duan Yu were already drinking at Songhelou Restaurant.

As the saying goes, "Wine only deepens sorrow, and though wine doesn't intoxicate, one becomes intoxicated by one's own state of mind."

In short, Duan Yu was completely drunk, but he kept drinking.

Tang Bohu sighed, unsure whether his feelings for Duan Yu stemmed from sympathy or something else.

At this moment, a burly man walked up and, seeing Duan Yu drinking like this, couldn't stand it and said, "As a man, you should face things bravely. Why do you drink to escape?"

Tang Bohu and Duan Yu turned to look, and couldn't help but secretly praise them, 'Truly a tragic and generous man from the northern lands of Yan and Zhao.'

He then invited him to sit at the same table.

The three of them didn't even introduce themselves, and that's how they became friends.

Chapter 25 Tang Bohu: Let's forget about becoming sworn brothers!

Lin Zhu was protecting Zhang San Niang, so he didn't take Wang Yu Yan out for sightseeing and stayed at the Yue Lai Inn until the afternoon.

After drinking, Tang Bohu, Duan Yu, and Qiao Feng went outside the city together.

After the three exchanged names, Qiao Feng learned that neither of them was Murong Fu. Feeling that they were kindred spirits, he proposed to become sworn brothers.

Tang Bohu and Duan Yu were very happy to agree.

One wanted to curry favor with a powerful figure, while the other felt that Qiao Feng was a person worth befriending.

Qiao Feng asked, "I am thirty-one years old this year. How old are you two brothers?"

Tang Bohu was about to reveal his age when a sudden thought flashed through his mind: 'Brother Duan looks much younger than me. If we become sworn brothers, wouldn't I be the second brother? This is inappropriate! This is inappropriate!'

Then, a thought struck him, and he quickly said, "Oh dear, Brother Qiao, Brother Duan, I forgot something. I have three brothers. How about we become sworn brothers and bring them along?"

"This..." Qiao Feng hesitated. Although he was a man of great ambition, he was not someone who could become sworn brothers with just anyone.

Seeing Qiao Feng hesitate, Tang Bohu quickly said, "Why don't the two of you become sworn brothers first, and I, Tang, will be the witness?"

Qiao Feng was about to agree to the six of them becoming sworn brothers, but seeing Tang Bohu's hesitation, he had no choice but to say, "That will do."

Duan Yu nodded, "Then I'll trouble Brother Tang to be the witness."

"Sure, sure," Tang Bohu chuckled to himself.

Then, Qiao Feng and Duan Yu used soil as incense and swore an oath of brotherhood before heaven and earth.

Qiao Feng: "Second brother!"

Duan Yu: "Big Brother!"

Qiao Feng: "Second brother!"

Duan Yu: "Big Brother!"

The two said it three times, then burst into laughter.

Tang Bohu also burst into laughter. Whether or not they became sworn brothers was not important; what mattered most was that he wasn't the second brother.

Duan Yu suddenly felt something was off, then realized what was happening, looked down at his crotch, and then turned to Tang Bohu, "Brother Tang, you..."

Tang Bohu knew that Duan Yu had realized what was going on, so he suppressed a laugh and patted Duan Yu on the shoulder, saying, "Brother Duan, why don't you just find another sworn brother later?"

Qiao Feng, not understanding, asked, "What do you mean by what you and Brother Tang said?"

Would Tang Bohu and Duan Yu possibly tell that?

The two shook their heads in unison, "Brother Qiao, it's alright, it's alright!"
