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

Lin Zhu's lips twitched slightly; he knew that Rong Momo was originally going to call him something.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

As they walked to the front hall, they saw Wang Yuyan and Zhang Sanniang looking outside.

The two immediately spotted the figure in blue. Wang Yuyan exclaimed, "It's my little brother! My little brother is back!"

"I saw it."

They hurried over, each grabbing one of Lin Zhu's hands. Wang Yuyan said, "You're finally back."

Zhang San Niang noticed the difference and reached out to touch his face. "How come your skin is getting better and better?"

Wang Yuyan was taken aback. "Yes!" She also reached out to touch it, stroking it. "It's so smooth, it feels so good."

Lin Zhu said helplessly, "Alright, alright, stop trying to take advantage of me. Tell me, what happened? Where is the thief?"

“Oh dear, it’s only been a month since we parted, and my little brother has already become distant from his older sister. How can this be called taking advantage of me?” Zhang San Niang had a somewhat mischievous personality. “If my little brother really feels that he has been taken advantage of, then he can take it back.” After saying that, she puffed out her chest.

He dared not do that, and could only look at Zhang San Niang speechlessly.

Wang Yuyan smiled secretly, then said, "Alright, alright, Sister Yu, let's talk about the thief first."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

As they talked, the two pulled him to sit down in the lobby.

“We discovered the thief last night. We don’t know how long he’s been there; he must have come at night and left during the day. We happened to come out of the cave late yesterday and caught a glimpse of him.”

As Zhang San Niang was speaking, Wang Yu Yan added, "At first I thought we were mistaken, but then we realized we weren't, so we asked you for help, little brother."

Lin Zhu nodded and said, "I understand. I'll wait for them to come tonight."

"Do you need our help?" Zhang San Niang asked. She was now a grandmaster, and her fighting ability was still quite respectable in the martial arts world.

"No need," Lin Zhu refused decisively. "I'll go myself. You all stay inside."

"Sigh, so she's being rejected!" Zhang San Niang said in a deliberately sarcastic tone.

"Sister Yu!" Wang Yuyan said coquettishly, "Don't talk to your younger brother like that."

"You're even protecting him now," Zhang Sanniang teased. "Then you should marry him."

"If my brother is really a man, what harm would it do for me to marry him?" Wang Yuyan wasn't afraid at all.

"Really?" Lin Zhu said seriously, "Yu Yan, you're not kidding me, I'm serious!"

Wang Yuyan blushed; she hadn't expected Lin Zhuzhen to say such a thing.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Sanniang laughed wildly. "I'll be the matchmaker then." As she spoke, she pushed Wang Yuyan into Lin Zhu's arms and made her sit down.

"How annoying!" Wang Yuyan didn't get up, but just sat in Lin Zhu's lap and gave Zhang San Niang a disdainful look.

During this time, Wang Yuyan realized something was wrong and said something rather shocking, revealing that she knew nothing about the world.

A bolt of lightning struck Zhang San Niang's mind, confirming her suspicions, and she then recalled holding Lin Zhu's head in her arms earlier.

In an instant, his entire face turned bright red.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yu, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing." Zhang Sanniang grabbed Lin Zhu's arm. "Come out with me, I have something to tell you."

"Can't I listen?" Wang Yuyan asked.

“No.” Zhang San Niang refused decisively. “Yu Yan, you are too young to listen to this.”

“But my younger brother is even younger than me!” Wang Yuyan said, somewhat unconvinced.

"Alright, sit down properly." Zhang Sanniang pressed Wang Yuyan down into her seat, then pulled Lin Zhu into the boudoir.

"Are you really a man?" she asked.

"Really!" Lin Zhu said, "I've told you so many times, but you just won't believe me."

Zhang San Niang remained silent for a while, then hardened her heart and launched a surprise attack on Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu was caught off guard and stunned. He never expected Zhang San Niang to be so fierce.

"Sister Yu, you!" He was so surprised that Zhang San Niang hadn't even greeted him!

Zhang San Niang's face turned bright red, and she finally had no more doubts. She held on for a while before letting go.

"How can you really be a man?" She was somewhat distraught, feeling unclean, yet she couldn't blame Lin Zhu.

When she looked up and saw Lin Zhu's face again, her heart stirred once more. She felt that men weren't so bad after all! In fact, they were even better.

So he just stared at Lin Zhu with hazy eyes. If she were really a woman, he wouldn't know how to make a move.

Ultimately, good looks triumphed over everything.

Seeing this, Lin Zhu took two steps back and asked, "Sister Yu, what do you want to do?"

Zhang San Niang took a deep breath and then said, "Keep it like this from now on, and don't let anyone else find out."

She's too greedy; she wants to eat it all by herself.

Lin Zhu didn't quite understand what she meant and looked blank.

“Just listen to me,” Zhang Sanniang said. Although she had her own thoughts, Lin Zhu was really too young, and it was difficult to make a move; she felt guilty about it.

For ordinary people, it is indeed possible to get married and have children at the age of fourteen.

However, for the upper class, a man was considered an adult only after his coming-of-age ceremony. Even for women, it was the age of fifteen when they reached adulthood.

Fourteen or fifteen years old, not even a child yet.

It can only be called the age of childhood, when the hair is parted in two and tied into two ram's horn knots on the top of the head, which means it is a child.

"You're still young. There are some things you might be curious about, but you can't do them, understand?"

Zhang San Niang is already nineteen years old, so she should know some of the things she should know.

Lin Zhu understood better, so she immediately grasped her meaning. "I understand, so I didn't do anything. Every time, you guys are the ones taking advantage of me."

"Don't talk back!" Zhang Sanniang slapped him, her cheeks turning red again. But looking at Lin Zhu's face, she couldn't bring herself to be angry.

Regardless of gender, we are all visual beings.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more." Lin Zhu was also a little afraid of Zhang San Niang. This woman was too fierce. She would come without warning, catching everyone off guard.

Next time, I need to be more careful, and I'll have to be prepared to retaliate in kind someday.

It's just a matter of shifting stars and changing constellations; he can now use the technique of "transferring flowers and replacing jade," so it's pretty much the same.

Chapter 61: A Real Old Acquaintance (Bonus Chapter if Chapter 600 is Reached)

Back in the front hall, Wang Yuyan looked at Zhang Sanniang, whose face was somewhat flushed, and curiously wanted to ask what had happened.

However, neither Lin Zhu nor Zhang San Niang said anything.

Night fell quickly, and the moon was high in the sky. Lin Zhu stood beside the artificial hill, waiting patiently for his prey.

A moment later, he noticed the movement. A dark figure swept past, skillfully activated the switch to the Langhuan Jade Cave, and went inside.

Judging from their actions, they seem rather impatient.

'Ah, it really is this Imperial Advisor.'

He went outside and opened the Langhuan Jade Cave with the same ease.

Inside the cave, Kumārajīva heard the sound of the cave door opening. He hurriedly put down the secret manual in his hand, found a place to hide, and secretly watched the entrance.

Then he saw Lin Zhu and was startled. 'How could it be her? Could she also be from Mantuo Manor?'

Lin Zhu sensed Kumārajīva's presence but didn't disturb him. Instead, he wanted to play a trick on him, so he also found a secret manual and started reading it.

"Fleeting Glimpse" is one of the most advanced light-body techniques in the Tang Clan. When mastered, it allows one to transform into a phantom and instantly move dozens of feet.

In terms of lightness skill, this can be considered a unique martial arts technique.

He watched intently, and Kumārajīva watched him intently, wondering when this guy would finally leave.

Then, the two of them remained quietly in the Langhuan Jade Cave.

As Lin Zhu read the manual, he followed the footwork in the manual, slowly moving towards Kumārajīva, and then quickly retreating.

Kumārajīva's heart pounded with the movement of the bamboo grove, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

This happened more than ten times, with Lin Zhu leaving after getting close to Kumārajīva each time.

At this moment, he knew perfectly well that Lin Zhu was just playing him for a fool, so he stopped hiding and came out directly.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Lin, we meet again. Such teasing of this humble monk is going too far."

"Hahaha!" Lin Zhu laughed three times. "The Imperial Advisor arrives here late at night without even greeting the host. This is truly going too far."

Kumārajīva put his hands together and said, "As far as I know, the owner of this manor is surnamed Wang or Li, but not Lin, right?"

Lin Zhu laughed and said, "Indeed, I am not surnamed Lin, but I was invited by a friend to catch a thief, specifically a book thief like the Imperial Advisor."

"No, no, this humble monk is a scholar after all. How can a scholar reading books be considered stealing? This humble monk did not take these secret manuals out of the cave."

Kumārajīva thus argued so illogically.

Lin Zhu shook his head. "The Imperial Preceptor's eloquence is exceptional, far surpassing that of a junior like myself. I just wonder if the Imperial Preceptor's martial arts have improved in recent days."

Upon hearing this, Kumārajīva became nervous. He looked at Lin Zhu and felt that he was just an ordinary person, without any aura of a grandmaster. "Could it be that your skills have improved again?"

Lin Zhu said, "I was just about to ask the Imperial Preceptor for some pointers. If the Imperial Preceptor can defeat me by a few moves, what harm is there in showing him the martial arts in this cave? If I cannot defeat him, then the Imperial Preceptor must leave something behind."

"Are you capable of making that decision?" Kumārajīva was intrigued.

"I can do it." Lin Zhu nodded and said, "I am currently the most skilled martial artist in this manor. If you defeat me, you can freely take any of the martial arts techniques inside this cave."

“Alright!” Kumārajīva nodded. “If we can’t practice here, how about we go outside?” He cherished his martial arts skills. There were still many martial arts techniques he hadn’t finished learning in the Langhuan Jade Cave. It would be a pity if they were destroyed.

At the same time, he had recovered from his previous fight with Lin Zhu and realized that he might not be inferior to Lin Zhu.

The two walked out of the Langhuan Jade Cave and came to an open space.

Without any hesitation, Kumārajīva took the initiative, channeling his true energy into his right hand. A burst of fire rose, igniting a blade in his hand, which he then slashed at Lin Zhu.

The fiery blade energy leaves the body at an extremely high speed.

Lin Zhu did not dodge. He reached out with his left hand and easily grasped the fiery blade energy with two fingers. Instead of crushing it, he circulated his true energy and absorbed it into his body.
