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

Therefore, Gu Shifei changed his name to Zhu Shifei.

A few years later, Gu Santong combined the Golden Armor Divine Skill with the Golden Armor Divine Skill to create a new version of the Vajra Indestructible Technique. After reaching the pinnacle, he suddenly regained his senses.

Only then did he realize that his wife had remarried and his son had become someone else's son.

He didn't care about his wife; he knew he had wronged Su Xin and hoped she could find a good home, so he wasn't too angry.

But after learning that her son had changed his surname to Zhu, she couldn't stand it at all.

So they stormed the Dragon Guard Manor, demanding an explanation from Zhu Wushi.

Su Xin stepped forward and just stared at him coldly, making him feel numb and incredibly embarrassed.

But she was still unwilling to give up and said she wanted to take her son away.

However, Zhu Wushi truly treated Zhu Shifei as his own son, and he would inherit the marquisate in the future. Therefore, although the two were not biological father and son, they were even closer than biological father and son.

Gu Santong was even more confused. He had won by a large margin over Zhu Wushi in terms of martial arts skills and strength, but he had completely lost in terms of life.

Seeing his pitiful state, Zhu Wushi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Gu, Shifei is, after all, your flesh and blood. How about this, in the future, I will choose one of my grandsons to be adopted by you, and he will take the surname Gu."

Gu Santong's face was extremely ugly. He said such things that he wished he could throw Zhu Wushi into the latrine.

But the fact was already set in stone, and he couldn't change it. He could only accept it reluctantly, at least he gained a grandson.

Later, he stayed at the Dragon Guard Manor to teach Zhu Shifei martial arts, including his own Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and Absorption Technique.

Although he now bears the surname Zhu, he is still my son. If I don't pass it on to him, who will I pass it on to?

Therefore, among the four secret agents of the Dragon Guard Manor, Zhu Shifei had the highest martial arts skills.

Zhu Wushi's life can be considered quite fulfilling, as long as no major accidents occur in the future.

The Dragon Guard Manor is a tool used by the imperial court to deal with the martial arts world. It doesn't hold much power and poses no threat to the imperial authority, so it is generally safe.

Over the years, he has often asked Gu Santong to accompany him on some extremely difficult missions.

Upon hearing that there was a fight between top-tier experts, Gu Santong went to help without hesitation, not even asking for any reward.

He remains as obsessed with martial arts as he was back then.

I believe that Gu Santong will still agree to this request.

As I walked out of the palace gate with Zhuge Zhengwo, a short, burly man with dark skin came towards us.

"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhuge, it's a pleasure to meet you both today. Did you just come from the palace?"

"Brother Cao!" Zhuge Zhengwo and Zhu Wushi bowed to the man in unison, indicating that he was of high status.

Zhu Wushi said with a smile, "I just reported some things to His Majesty. Would Brother Cao like to hear them?"

"No, no! I can't stand hearing about your business." The short, stocky man quickly waved his hand and took two steps back, his whole body exuding an aura of rejection.

Zhuge Zhengwo laughed and said, "Brother Zhu, you'd better stop teasing Brother Cao."

"Brother Zhuge is right, Brother Zhu, you are just too wicked."

"How could anyone be worse than you? Everyone in the capital knows your brother Cao's quirks." Zhu Wushi joked with a smile.

"Alright, alright, Lao Cao, I can't argue with you. How about it? I happen to be free, how about we get together at Zuixianlou?"

"No!" Zhuge Zhengwo and Zhu Wushi shook their heads repeatedly. "We still have a mission to undertake before leaving the capital. We'll have a drink with you, Brother Cao, when we get back."

"Haha, in that case, I'll go by myself."

After saying this, Brother Cao cupped his hands in greeting to the two men and left.

Zhuge Zhengwo looked at Zhu Wushi and said, "This Vice Minister of Revenue certainly lives a carefree life."

“If he weren’t dashing, he wouldn’t be Cao Mengde,” Zhu Wushi shook his head.

Cao Cao, also known as Cao Mengde, was originally surnamed Xiahou. His father was later adopted by an old eunuch named Cao Teng, and thus he took the surname Cao.

Although his surname is Cao, he has no relation to Cao Zhengchun, the eunuch from the Eastern Depot.

However, coincidentally, three of the four major factories in the east, west, south, and north are surnamed Cao.

Cao Zhengchun of the Eastern Depot, Cao Shaoqin of the Southern Depot, and Cao Renchao of the Northern Depot were all highly skilled and possessed exceptional martial arts abilities.

Among them, Cao Zhengchun of the Eastern Depot had the highest martial arts skills, almost reaching the pinnacle, just one step away; the other two were both grandmasters.

This coincidence makes one wonder if the profession of eunuch has been monopolized by someone surnamed Cao.

First there was the Grand Eunuch Cao Teng, and now there's the head of one of the three major factories—a surname chosen by heaven!

Perhaps for this reason, Cao Cao, in order to prove himself, spread a reputation for being a good husband and often brought warmth to widows in the middle of the night.

In terms of private morality, Cao Cao's reputation wasn't very good, but the emperor just loved to use him. There was no way around it; he was just really useful.

He was skilled at making money, mainly targeting wealthy merchants and nobles, and he always had a well-founded and convincing argument.

Since he ascended to the throne, the emperor has never worried about money.

If it weren't for his moral failings, Cao Cao would have become the Minister of Revenue long ago, and the position of Prime Minister wouldn't have been out of reach for him.

He always felt that the title "Prime Minister Cao" suited him perfectly.

In addition, Zuixianlou was a property under the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau). When Cao Cao went there, he would usually just listen to music and drink wine, and wouldn't do anything else.

He usually reserved his energy for the evenings, either to offer comfort to a few widowed lovers or to appease his wife at home.

Life was easy and comfortable.

As for why he was acquainted with Zhu Wushi, Zhuge Zhengwo was familiar with him.

In fact, Cao Cao initially only wanted to befriend Zhu Wushi, believing that he and Zhu Wushi were the same kind of people who both liked other men's wives.

But Zhu Wushi was more cunning than him. Before her husband even died, he had already stolen her away and even gave her a son as an extra bonus.

He didn't have the ability himself, so he could only offer comfort to widows.

Therefore, he greatly admired Zhu Wushi, exclaiming, "I am no match for him."

Although he was later proven wrong, and Zhu Wushi was indeed deeply infatuated with Su Xin, his admiration for him did not diminish in the slightest.

And so Cao Cao became acquainted with Zhu Wushi.

I only brought Zhuge Zheng along incidentally. Cao Cao looked down on him somewhat. He was just a pretty girl, yet he hesitated so much. If it were him, he would have done it in the morning.

After parting ways with Cao Cao, Zhuge Zhengwo and Zhu Wushi went back to Shenhou Mansion and Hulong Manor, respectively.

Not long after, the two left the capital with their respective subordinates.

Zhuge Zhengwo brought along the Four Great Constables, while Zhu Wushi brought along Gu Santong and the Four Secret Agents.

They will pass by Zizai Gate and take Yuan Shisanxian with them on their way south.

In the Eastern Depot, Cao Zhengchun looked at his trusted confidant and asked, "Do you know where the Dragon Guard Manor and the Divine Marquis's Mansion have gone?"

"Please forgive me, Your Excellency, but I have not received any news."

"Oh, it seems our information is outdated. Go to the Six Doors and ask around, see if you can find out anything."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Liu Dufeng, the "God of Catchers" from the Six Doors, looked at Guo Jing and asked, "Brother Guo, what do you think of the situation between Zhuge Zhengwo and Zhu Wushi?"

Guo Jing, known as Guo the Great Hero, shook his head and said, "If you don't know this, Brother Liu, then I know even less. By the way, I need to ask for leave; I need to go to Guanzhong."

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Liu Dufeng asked.

Guo Jing shook his head. "It's about my daughter. She seems to have taken a fancy to a scholar who claims to be a great hero of Guanzhong. Let me see."

"The Great Hero of Guanzhong, what a prestigious title! Who bestowed it upon you?" Liu Dufeng became interested. "A scholar and a great hero, he is accomplished in both literature and martial arts. My niece Furong is truly blessed."

"Who knows? That's why I have to go and see. My daughter never gives me a moment's peace."

Like the Eastern Depot and the Six Doors, other agencies were also trying to find out the whereabouts of the Divine Marquis's Mansion and the Dragon Guard Manor.

But even the Western Depot couldn't find out.

Liu Ruoxin is still at Mantuo Villa and can't make it back in time.

Meanwhile, after two days of travel, Lin Zhu and Shi Zhongjian arrived in Yangzhou and met Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling again.

"Young Master Lin, who is this brother?" Kou Zhong asked curiously, looking at Shi Zhongjian. He felt that this man was a bit dull.

"I recently met a brother named Shi Zhongjian. You two can get to know each other too," Lin Zhu introduced them.

Shi Zhongjian chuckled and said, "You can also call me a bastard dog."

This statement confused Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Who would willingly allow someone to call them a bastard?

Kou Zhong asked cautiously, "Young Master Lin, is your brother mentally unstable?"

Shi Zhongjian, being sharp-witted and perceptive, overheard these words and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I'm perfectly fine. But my mother calls me 'dog bastard,' and the old man with the big beard calls me that too. My older brother gave me the name Shi Zhongjian."

"Then you must not be your mother's biological son. Who would call their own son a bastard? For example, in my hometown and Ling Shao's hometown, the worst name is Er Gou (Second Dog)."

Kou Zhong spoke frankly.

Lin Zhu froze for a moment; the name "Er Gou" was a bit too much for him.

Lin Ergou, fourteen years old, from Lijia Village.

Unfortunately, Lijia Village is gone. It was right on the banks of the Yangtze River, and when the flood came, the entire village was washed away and could not be found.

“It’s not a bad word to call someone a bastard. Ah Huang is a bastard too. My mom calls it that, and it responds.” Shi Zhongjian seemed to have no idea what anger was.

"Who is Ah Huang?" Kou Zhong asked again.

“Ah Huang is my brother, but he’s gone. I’m looking for him and asking him to take me to my mother, but I haven’t been able to find her.” Shi Zhongjian’s mood was slightly downcast.

Kou Zhong felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. "Could Ah Huang be a dog?"

Shi Zhongjian nodded quickly, "Brother Kou, you're really smart, you even guessed that."

Kou Zhong was somewhat withdrawn. He felt that he couldn't talk to this idiot, otherwise he might become stupid in the future.

Xu Ziling looked at the two clowns in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Zhu interrupted them, "Alright, stop chatting." She looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, "How's your learning about human meridians and acupoints going?"

Kou Zhong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Lin, Young Master Ling and I have already learned it."
