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

Lin Zhu was both amused and exasperated.

It must be said that Li Yuhu is quite beautiful, with a playful beauty, a quirky charm mixed with a touch of wildness.

"Should we go and see Du Bingyan?" He thought about it, then decided against it and went back the way he came.

Unlike Li Yuhu, Du Bingyan, from the Du family in the north of the city, did not rebel.

Anyway, she's going to get married eventually, and I haven't heard anything bad about Qi Tianlei.

Qi Tianlei in this world wasn't faking illness, and he possessed peak innate strength. Such martial prowess was more than enough for the Qi family.

Sometimes, force can be more effective and efficient than intelligence.

Ximen Chuixue has arrived at Yuelai Inn.

He was dressed in white, always with his sword at hand, and had a cold and stern expression. Only when facing Lu Xiaofeng did his eyes show a hint of normal emotion.

When Lin Zhu came in, he overheard them talking about him.

"A grandmaster at fourteen years old? I've never seen one before." Ximen Chuixue rarely spoke so many words; he was always very sparing with his words.

"Now you see him." Lu Xiaofeng pointed at Lin Zhu who came in through the door, his tone a bit irritating. "Brother Lin, you're finally back."

The three of them stood up to greet them.

Lu Xiaofeng introduced, "This is Brother Lin Zhu." He then introduced Lin Zhu to Ximen Chuixue, saying, "Brother Lin, you can just call him Ximen."

"Brother Ximen!" Lin Zhu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ximen Chuixue, then focused on the sword in his hand.

Upon seeing Lin Zhu's appearance, even Ximen Chuixue and Gu Bo, who were usually calm, showed a hint of amazement. They greeted him with their swords clasped and said, "Brother Lin!" Then they asked, "May I ask for your guidance?"

Lin Zhu said in surprise, "I thought your sword was only for killing people, not for fighting."

"A swordsman who cannot control his sword is not a true swordsman." The amazement in Ximen Chuixue's eyes faded, and a hint of fighting spirit appeared.

"Ximen, isn't this a bad idea?" Lu Xiaofeng said with some concern.

"It's alright," Lin Zhu said. "I also want to see Brother Ximen's swordsmanship. Please!"

Ximen Chuixue: "Please!"

The two took a few steps back, and Ximen Chuixue drew his black-scabbard. "The sword is three feet seven inches long and weighs seven pounds and three ounces. Please enlighten me!"

"I haven't learned much about weapons, so I'll ask for your guidance with my hands." Lin Zhu circulated his true energy, and his hands transformed into ice crystals.

The two moved simultaneously, their longswords thrusting straight forward, their sword intent filling the air.

Lin Zhu felt a slight chill on her neck; it was the sword intent of Ximen Chuixue—the intent arrived before the sword.

With two jade-like fingers pinching the sword tip seven inches in front of him, Ximen Chuixue's sword was firmly held in Lin Zhu's hand, unable to advance an inch.

"You are the first person besides Lu Xiaofeng who can catch my sword with two fingers."

"If your sword intent were even slightly stronger, I might not dare to take your sword strike."

Both of them stopped attacking at the same time.

It's just a friendly spar, nothing more than a friendly match, not a final battle.

Ximen Chuixue sheathed his sword. He was also a half-step Grandmaster, but with his sword intent, he was already able to fight against a Grandmaster.

Currently, what he lacks is the accumulation of skill; becoming a Grandmaster is not too difficult for him.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou clapped their hands at the same time. Lu Xiaofeng said, "Wonderful, truly wonderful! Brother Lin, what is the meaning of your move? It is similar to my Lingxi Finger."

"The Plum Blossom Hand of Tianshan, have you ever heard of it, Brother Lu?" The jade color on Lin Zhu's hands quickly faded.

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, and Hua Manlou and Ximen Chuixue had also never heard of it.

Ximen Chuixue said, "Brother Lin's move is superior to your Lingxi Finger."

"Of course." Lu Xiaofeng was not annoyed by this. "Brother Lin's hands can catch any weapon in the world."

Lin Zhu shook his head and said, "You guys have gone a bit too far! I know my own limitations."

The four sat down, sipping tea and discussing philosophy.

Chapter 44 Shan Wanjing arrives

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in the north of Yangzhou, a wedding procession entered the city and arrived at the Du family's residence.

In the procession, a groom rode a white horse, looking very happy.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were by his side, along with a chivalrous man whose appearance was no less than Hua Manlou's.

Not far away, Lin Zhu and Ximen Chuixue stood on the treetop, looking down ahead.

Lin Zhu pointed to the unfamiliar person and asked, "Brother Ximen, who is that? Do you recognize him?"

Ximen Chuixue said, "The legendary Chu Liuxiang is also a friend of Lu Xiaofeng."

"It's him." Lin Zhu nodded and watched the group enter the Du family's residence.

The whole journey was filled with hammering and banging.

There was no bridal sedan chair, but there was a very luxurious carriage pulled by three horses.

Originally, those who were not from the scholar-official class could not participate in the Three Vehicles.

However, marriage is an exception.

Linzhou and Yangzhou are far apart, so a horse-drawn carriage is better than a sedan chair.

At the same time, a wedding procession from the west of the city also arrived and took Li Yuhu away.

The two teams left the city from different directions, but once outside the city, they merged into one and headed west together.

Lin Zhu and Ximen Chuixue were secretly protecting them.

Perhaps because he had integrated the Water Element chapter of the Longevity Manual, Lin Zhu could sense that the water energy in the world was rapidly flowing towards them.

He said calmly, "It's going to rain heavily."

Ximen Chuixue looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky, so it didn't look like it was going to rain.

"How to say?"

“The water energy between heaven and earth is surging. In a little while, dark clouds will arrive. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be here soon.” Lin Zhu said, reaching out to draw a ball of water that floated in his hand.

This is a small application of the true essence within the body after incorporating the Longevity Technique.

Ximen Chuixue said, "In that case, let's go ahead and take a look. There's a temple there."

The two used their lightness skills to transform into two afterimages, one green and one white, and appeared in the temple.

The Fairy Temple is dedicated to the Holy Mother of the Eastern Mausoleum.

I don't know what they are in charge of.

When the two arrived, they didn't sense a single human presence.

The next moment, the weather changed drastically, and a strong wind suddenly arose.

Before long, layers of dark clouds swept in from the southeastern horizon like a tsunami, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

A voice came from afar, "It's going to rain, hurry up, let's go to the Fairy Temple ahead to take shelter."

The wedding procession is hurrying here.

Lin Zhu and Ximen Chuixue exchanged a glance, then quickly searched the entire Fairy Temple from the left and right, finding nothing amiss.

After they met up, they shook their heads at each other to indicate that there was no danger.

Soon, the two teams met at the Fairy Temple. The two wedding cars stopped in front of the main hall, and the bride was taken into the main hall to rest.

After everyone left, only Du Bingyan and Li Yuhu remained in the main hall.

Li Yuhu asked in a low voice, "Is it Miss Du Bingyan?"

“Miss Li Yuhu!” Du Bingyan’s voice carried a hint of joy.

“It’s me.” Li Yuhu immediately lifted her veil. “It’s so stuffy, but I didn’t expect to meet you here. Why don’t you take off your veil too?”

Du Bingyan slowly lifted the veil. "Is this alright?"

"What's wrong with her?" Li Yuhu placed the veil in front of the incense table. "Miss Du is really beautiful, even more beautiful than me."

"Miss Li, you flatter me." Du Bingyan smiled sweetly, which made Li Yuhu pause for a moment.

"Perhaps only Lin Zhu is prettier than you."

"Miss Li, have you seen her before?" Du Bingyan asked with interest. "She must be extremely beautiful."

“Mmm!” Li Yuhu nodded repeatedly. “I’m dazzled. I’ve never seen such a beautiful person before. I feel like she shouldn’t have been born here, but should be in heaven.”

At this moment, Lin Zhu and Ximen Chuixue were standing on the roof beam.

Listening to their conversation, Ximen Chuixue looked at Lin Zhu with a half-smile and transmitted his voice, "Brother Lin, do you know these two?"

"I suppose so." The sound waves beamed and entered Ximen Chuixue's ears.

Ximen Chuixue nodded.

Then the two women became increasingly congenial and swore an oath of brotherhood in front of the statue, becoming sworn sisters.

Before long, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, and the matchmaker rushed in, making a racket.

Du Bingyan and Li Yuhu quickly covered their heads with veils, but somehow, they ended up in different positions.

The two were dressed exactly alike, and then they made a mistake.

Lin Zhu observed this and thought to herself, 'This is a case of getting on the wrong wedding carriage but marrying the right groom.'

Ximen Chuixue also saw it and couldn't help but say, 'Shouldn't we give them a heads-up?'

"What do you think?" Lin Zhu said calmly.

"Forget it, I won't get involved in this kind of thing." Ximen Chuixue shook his head.

Lin Zhu: "Me too, maybe it's a good match arranged by fate."

The two teams continued their journey, leaving the Fairy Temple, and parted ways at a fork in the road.

Sitting in the wedding car, Li Yuhu opened a chat group out of sheer boredom.
