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

However, this time they didn't cross the city wall; the rooster crowed and the city gates opened.

Just then, someone tagged him in the group chat.

Wang Yuyan: @Lin Zhu, little brother, it seems like something evil has gotten into my house.

Zhang San Niang: There's nothing dirty about it; it must be someone with very high martial arts skills.

Liu Ruoxin: Seriously? I've only been gone for two days and your house got burgled? @Wang Yuyan

Wang Yuyan: If he really has high martial arts skills, why would he come to my house?

Liu Ruoxin: Silly, with so many secret manuals in your Langyu Cave, of course you're here to steal them. @Wang Yuyan

Wu Xingyun: Langhuan Jade Cave shares the same name as my Xiaoyao Sect's Langhuan Blessed Land. We are indeed destined to meet. @Wang Yuyan

Wu Xingyun has already reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal. Recently, he has been consolidating his spiritual realm and will not engage in deep cultivation. He can be described as a master of lurking, and he will reply to anything that interests him.

After replying to the message, she was stunned for a moment. Could it be such a coincidence?

Wu Xingyun: Who is Li Qiushui to you? @Wang Yuyan

Wang Yuyan was not scheming and spoke the truth.

Wang Yuyan: Yuyan greets Grandmaster Uncle. I heard from my mother that my maternal grandfather was named Wuyazi, and my maternal grandmother was named Li Qiushui. Did my maternal grandmother offend you? @巫行云

Wu Xingyun laughed. It wasn't just offending, it was utterly and utterly offending.

However, considering that she and Li Qiushui had been thinking about Wu Yazi all along, and that Wu Yazi actually liked Li Canghai, especially since Li Canghai was so young at the time.

For a moment, I didn't know what I was angry about.

Considering his current strength, if he really wanted to kill Li Qiushui, he would have done so long ago.

She suddenly felt that Li Qiushui was also quite pitiful, more pitiful than herself, as she couldn't even join the chat group, probably because she had disfigured her.

So, the anger subsided.

Seeing the message Wang Yuyan sent, she smiled with relief, as if she had let go of everything, and her state of mind improved for a moment.

Wu Xingyun: Forget it, those are all old stories. You are now considered the fourth generation disciple of my Xiaoyao Sect. Come visit my Lingjiu Palace when you have time.

Li Canghai: Congratulations, Senior Sister! Your inner knot has been untied, and it shouldn't be too long before you break through to the Void Realm.

Wu Xingyun: It's not that easy.

Wang Yuyan: Congratulations, Grandmaster Uncle! If I have the chance in the future, I will visit you at Lingjiu Palace.

Wu Xingyun: Okay, you can continue to call me Grandma from now on! @Lin Zhu, aren't you in Yangzhou? It's not too far from Yu Yan, can you go check on the situation for me?

Lin Zhu: Okay, Grandma. @Wang Yuyan, I'll probably arrive around noon.

Since Aqing ascended to immortality, Wu Xingyun has started referring to herself as "Grandma" in the group chat again, and all the younger generation call her that as well.

Wang Yuyan: Okay, I'll wait for you. @Linzhu

Chapter 59 Heading to Catch the Thief

First, they returned to Yuelai Inn, where Lin Zhu called over Brother Gou, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling.

"Brother, I just made breakfast, come and eat." Brother Gou enthusiastically brought over a pot of porridge and a few side dishes.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, having spent several years in the underworld, recovered quickly after a short while and casually asked, "Young Master Lin, is there something you need to tell us?"

"I have something to attend to, I have to go," Lin Zhu said. "I'm going to Suzhou. A friend of mine had a thief break into his house, and I'm going to help catch him."

Kou Zhong asked in surprise, "What kind of thief is so powerful that it requires Young Master Lin to personally capture him?"

"It's not over yet, I don't know." Lin Zhu said while drinking her porridge. Dog Brother's cooking skills are already comparable to Huang Rong's.

However, the dishes lack sophistication, as they are all home-style cooking.

"Then what do you mean, Young Master Lin?" Xu Ziling asked.

Lin Zhu swallowed a mouthful of porridge and said, "You two have already entered the Longevity Technique and are now at the Innate level. You can travel around the martial world more often. Brother Shi, please help look after him and teach him more things. He is at the Grandmaster level and can protect you well."

"What? He's a Grandmaster too?" Kou Zhong looked at Dog Brother in disbelief. "Is becoming a Grandmaster that easy?"

Xu Ziling was equally surprised. Dog Brother looked silly and simple-minded, but he was actually quite capable.

"What grandmaster? Are you talking about me? But I'm not!" Dog Brother denied with a blank look on his face.

"You are," Lin Zhu said to Dog Brother. "Your martial arts are comparable to mine. They are the same martial arts that the old man with the big beard taught you, as well as the patterns we saw before. You have mastered them all and are now a grandmaster."

After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder.

"By the way, I'll teach you a sword technique, a saber technique, and a lightness skill first. That way, you'll have the ability to protect yourself when you go out in the future. Time is limited, so how much you can learn depends on your own fortune."

Upon hearing that Lin Zhu was going to teach them martial arts, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling became excited again, while Brother Gou didn't seem to care.

After breakfast, in the courtyard, Lin Zhu transformed his fingers into swords and his palms into knives, demonstrating the Qingfeng Sword Technique and the Five Tigers Severing the Gate Knife Technique. He then showcased his light-footed skill, Grass-Flying.

These are all martial arts techniques widely known in the martial arts world.

They didn't teach them the martial arts they learned in the group.

Those top martial arts groups allow members to exchange techniques among themselves, but teaching others is not allowed; this is considered an unspoken rule within the groups.

As for the Longevity Manual, Lin Zhu obtained it from Shi Long himself, and he can teach it to whomever he wants.

The Qingfeng Sword Technique, the Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber, and the Grass-Flying Technique were recorded in the Langhuan Jade Cave. He learned them and quickly mastered them. Teaching three highly talented individuals would be no problem at all.

After one round, Lin Zhu asked, "How much have you learned?"

Kou Zhong said, "I have learned the Five Tigers Severing the Gate Saber Technique."

Xu Ziling said, "The Gentle Breeze Sword Technique."

Dog Brother scratched his head, "I think I know it all."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling turned to look at Brother Gou at the same time. They each only knew one skill, but Brother Gou knew all three.

Lin Zhu waved to Dog Brother, "Come on, show me."

"Okay!" Dog Bro wasn't intimidated at all and immediately demonstrated, performing the same move exactly.

"Very good!" Lin Zhu nodded, then said to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, "If you have any questions, you can ask Brother Shi later. You can each take one thousand taels of these three thousand taels of silver."

As he spoke, he stuffed the silver notes into the arms of the three men.

He earns money easily, and he gives it away just as easily; he's a big spender.

Xu Ziling asked, puzzled, "Young Master Lin, I've always had a question: why are you so kind to us?"

Kou Zhong also realized what was going on, "That's right, Young Master Lin, logically speaking, with your martial arts skills being so high, and us two being just small-time thugs, you shouldn't care about us."

Dog Brother said, "Because you're a really, really good person, Brother Kou and Brother Xu, you're all really good too. It's never wrong to be good to you. Brother, don't you think I'm right?"

“Yes, Brother Shi is right.” Lin Zhu nodded with a smile. “Alright, don’t think too much about it. I’ll teach you martial arts, you can practice, and I’ll give you money to spend. We might need your help in the future, so consider this advance payment.”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were deeply moved upon hearing this, but they dared not look Lin Zhu in the eye, fearing that they might accidentally fall in love with her.

Lin Zhu has this condition.

"Alright, I'm leaving. You should all leave the inn too. After all, this is Brother Hua's property, and it's not appropriate for you to stay here while I'm gone."

Lin Zhu patted each of them on the shoulder and said, "Next time we meet, just call me Brother Lin. I'll call you Brother Kou and Brother Xu. Please take good care of Brother Shi. He's simple and kind by nature and easily deceived. You can help each other out."

He then said to Dog Brother, "Those two are relatively weak in martial arts, Brother Shi, you protect them well."

All three agreed.

Lin Zhu had lived two lives, and the three of them arranged things for him in a very orderly manner.

Then he informed the innkeeper and led them out of the Yuelai Inn.

Soon after, people began cleaning the guest rooms in the courtyard, replacing everything with new ones.

After leaving the inn, Lin Zhu bid farewell to the three and left directly.

Dog Brother, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling watched his departing figure, feeling extremely reluctant to part with him.

Kou Zhong: "Young Master Ling, where do you think we should go now?"

Xu Ziling: "I don't know either. How about we help Brother Shi find his mother?"

Kou Zhong said, "This is good, Brother Shi, what do you think?"

Dog Brother scratched his head. "I'll listen to my two brothers."

"Do you still remember where your home is?" Kou Zhong asked.

Dog Brother shook his head, "I don't remember. I only remember that my mother, Ah Huang, and I lived on the mountain. Later, my mother went out for a long time. We were very hungry, so we went out with her. In the end, we couldn't get back."

"That makes things difficult. We can only try our luck," Kou Zhong suggested. "The three of us should travel the world together; maybe we'll run into each other then!"

"Alright!" Xu Ziling replied, "Brother Shi, let's go."

The three of them then traveled together and left Yangzhou.

Before leaving Yangzhou, they helped Zhen Sao redeem herself from prostitution, bought her some household items, and purchased two knives and a sword before embarking on their journey through the martial world.

Outside Yangzhou, after parting ways with Brother Gou, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling, Lin Zhu sped off towards Taihu Lake with lightning speed.

He was eager to see who had broken into Mantuo Manor, and he suspected it might be an old acquaintance.

The Wind God Leg technique is incredibly fast, making it especially suitable for long journeys, and it's much faster than the Bird Chaser style.

However, the commotion will be greater, after all, it is the Wind God Leg, the body moves like the wind, and the wind is generated by the body itself, so the commotion will not be great and the speed will not be so fast.

Half an hour before noon, he arrived at the north bank of Taihu Lake.

To cross water, one cannot simply use the Wind God Leg technique; one must also use the Lingbo Weibu (Light Steps on Water) to tread water, the Bird Chasing Style to lighten the body, and then step out in the air to catch the wind and shadows.

Thus, even when crossing Taihu Lake alone, the speed was extremely fast.

Before long, Mantuo Villa came into view in the distance, and the dock could be vaguely seen.

Chapter 60 Looking Back

After a few more leaps and bounds through the water, Lin Zhu gently floated down from the air and appeared in front of Rong Momo.

"Hello, Granny Rong!" he greeted her politely.

"Miss Lin, young master, you've arrived! Miss and Miss Zhang are waiting for you in the front hall." Granny Rong smiled kindly, thinking to herself, 'In just one month, Miss Lin has become even more beautiful; even I can't bear to look at her for too long!'
