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

Lin Zhu: It's not unreasonable for me to take some reward, is it? I was the one who provided the information. Consider these three cultivation techniques as my reward. It's reasonable, isn't it?

Is it reasonable? Yes, it is very reasonable.

Shangguan Haitang looked at Sheng Yayu and transmitted her voice, "What should we do?"

'Let's keep it a secret, but I need to meet her in person to see what kind of person she is. She seems a bit dangerous, and doesn't seem to follow the rules very well.'

Shangguan Haitang agreed with Sheng Yayu's words.

Shangguan Haitang: Wuqing and I will help you keep this a secret, but we need to see you.

Chapter 73 The Filial Piety Queen Yu Yan (Bonus Chapter, a bit late)

Lin Zhu: We meet up. Is it just the two of you?

Shangguan Haitang: We might need to add two more people.

Lin Zhu: Who is it? Don't tell me it's Iron-Blooded Marquis and Zhuge Marquis?

Shangguan Haitang: It wasn't them, it was Yidao and Lengxue.

Lin Zhu: Those two? That's fine. I'm currently on my way to Qingyuan Prefecture, planning to go out to sea. When are you coming?

Shangguan Haitang: You're planning to go to sea, why?

Wang Yuyan: Yeah, why did you suddenly decide to go to sea?

Zhang San Niang: You won't be back for a long time, will you?

The sudden appearance of the two disrupted the rhythm of the conversation.

Huang Rong: Want to go out to sea? Come to my Peach Blossom Island! My mother is about to give birth, you can come over for a celebratory drink.

She joined in the fun too.

Feng Heng: @Lin Zhu @Sheng Yayu @Shangguan Haitang, welcome to join us.

Shangguan Haitang: Wuqing and I have official business to attend to, so it may be inconvenient for us to go. Thank you, @Feng Heng.

Sheng Yayu: Yes, thank you for your kindness @Feng Heng.

Lin Zhu thought about it and politely declined.

Lin Zhu: I need to find a deserted island to retreat to for a while, which will be quite inconvenient. Thank you for your kind offer @冯蘅

Huang Rong: Okay, when you come out of the pass, let me know. I'd like you to pick me up and take me to the Great Zhou. Protect me during this time! You promised, you won't break that promise, will you? @Lin Zhu

Lin Zhu: Sure, come to Qingyuan Prefecture then, I'll be waiting for you here. @Huang Rong

Upon seeing their conversation, both Wang Yuyan and Zhang Sanniang sensed danger.

Wang Yuyan: @Zhang Sanniang, I can't get out now.

Zhang San Niang: @Wang Yu Yan, received.

Their conversation was very synchronized, leaving the lurkers in the group completely baffled as to why their dialogue seemed so disjointed.

Lin Zhu, however, sensed something was amiss.

Okay, a woman who's possessive of her food.

Wanwan: What kind of riddle are you two playing? @Wang Yuyan @Zhang Sanniang

Zhao Min: Yeah, yeah, I don't understand.

You Ruo: Me too.

The two women remained silent; the message they were conveying was understood only by the two of them, and perhaps Lin Zhu understood it as well.

Wu Xingyun: Grandma, I don't understand either. Please explain. @Zhang Sanniang @Wang Yuyan

Zhang San Niang: I invited Yu Yan to my house before, but she's not available right now. @Wu Xingyun

Wang Yuyan: Yes!

Wu Xingyun: It doesn't feel that simple.

Zhao Min: That's right.

Wanwan: You guys seem really nervous.

Wang Yuyan thought to herself, "How could you tell? No way! I have no choice but to betray you, Grandpa."

Wang Yuyan: My maternal grandfather came, so it's not appropriate for me to speak in the group chat. I'm sorry, my maternal grandmother @巫行云, she didn't want me to reveal this.

The group fell silent, waiting to see what would happen next.

Wu Xingyun stared at the message, speechless for a long time.

She didn't know how to face her junior brother. She had loved him before, but it didn't work out, and he had kept her in the body of a child for over eighty years.

Then this old guy actually fell in love with his junior sister, who was so young back then. He was a beast.

All goodwill has been squandered, leaving only a lingering, unwilling obsession.

But I had let go of that lingering resentment before, and I was just a little dazed after hearing news about him again.

Wu Xingyun: I understand his concerns. Tell him that you've let go of the past, that you still consider him your junior brother, and that you have no further feelings for him. That should put his mind at ease. @Wang Yuyan

Wang Yuyan breathed a huge sigh of relief upon seeing the message. 'I guess I just stumbled upon this by accident, and Grandpa actually benefited from it!' Her guilt vanished instantly.

Wang Yuyan: It's Grandma @Wu Xingyun, I will definitely pass on the message to her.

Li Canghai: @Wang Yuyan, could you also pass on a message for me? Tell him I'm not interested in him anymore, and please stop contacting me. I don't know where he got this information from, but I've already moved to three different islands to avoid him.

Wang Yuyan: Okay, Auntie @Li Canghai

Li Canghai: Don't call me "Little Aunt," call me "Little Grandmaster Uncle." "Little Aunt" sounds too old. @Wang Yuyan

Wang Yuyan: Okay, Junior Grandmaster @Li Canghai

The matter was thus resolved.

Zhang San Niang secretly gave Wang Yuyan a thumbs up in her heart. She was so clever. She must have underestimated her opponent before.

However, this grandmother was willing to betray him so readily, which truly shows she was a very filial daughter.

The group chat was quiet for a while.

Shangguan Haitang: Please stay in Qingyuan Prefecture for a while; we'll be there right away. @Lin Zhu

Lin Zhu: Okay, if there's a Yuelai Inn in Qingyuan Prefecture, I'll wait for you there.

Shangguan Haitang: Okay!

Liu Ruoxin: What do you want with her? @Shangguan Haitang, is the operation over?

Shangguan Haitang: It's over. My godfather and the others are escorting the prisoners to the capital. Jue Wushen has been killed. @Liu Ruoxin

Liu Ruoxin: My long holiday is over, and it's a pity I couldn't see Lin Zhu again. @Lin Zhu, come to Beijing sometime, and I'll treat you well.

Ji Ru: Yes, yes, come visit the capital sometime. @Lin Zhu

Lin Zhu: I'll go when I have time. @Liu Ruoxin @Ji Ru

Shan Wanjing: I know a deserted island that's very quiet. Shall I come pick you up? @Lin Zhu

The messages kept coming in one after another.

Lin Zhu walked back as he went.

Lin Zhu: No need, you go about your business. I'll rent a small boat and see where we end up. @Shan Wanjing

Shan Wanjing: Okay, I'll come find you after I've finished dealing with things here. @Lin Zhu

Looking at the conversation, Wang Yuyan and Zhang Sanniang sensed something was wrong. Shan Wanjing was up to something. Did she also know something?

But this time Wang Yuyan didn't pass on any more information; she knew what Zhang San Niang would do.

At this moment, Zhang San Niang, who had just returned home, was about to sneak out again.

Mr. Zhang stopped her, "What, you're going out again as soon as you get back? Can't you stay home?"

"Hehe, Dad, I have something important to do right now, please let me out," Zhang San Niang said coquettishly.

Grandpa Zhang refused, saying, "No, your mother's family is coming in a few days, and you'll have to help entertain them."

"Who's coming?" Zhang San Niang asked curiously.

Master Zhang said, "Your cousin Murong Zhengde, and his eldest daughter Murong Yiyi."

Murong Zhengde, the owner of Murong Manor in Sichuan, is related to the Murong family of Suzhou, but their relationship is distant.

Now they've completely severed ties.

"Murong Yiyi, the one who's going to marry Yulang Jiang Feng?" Zhang Sanniang asked curiously.

"I'm afraid the marriage won't happen." Master Zhang sighed. "Jiang Feng has gone missing in Sichuan, and Murong Zhengde came to inquire about the situation."

Zhang San Niang: "Disappeared? How could that be? Where did she disappear to?"

Master Zhang said, "I heard that when the marriage certificate was delivered, the two families had already made arrangements, but the Murong Manor hadn't received it, so they came to ask what was going on."

Zhang San Niang: "I hope nothing bad has happened."

Mr. Zhang: "I hope not. When they come over, go and comfort Yiyi. After all, she's your niece, even if she's your cousin."

According to seniority, Murong Zhengde should call Zhang Sanniang's mother "aunt," as the two families are cousins.

Seeing that she couldn't get out, Zhang San Niang had no choice but to agree, hoping that Lin Zhu's charm would be less effective.

Chapter 74 Meeting and Going to Sea

Qingyuan Prefecture, located at the gateway to the East China Sea in the Jiangzhe region, has the Yuelai Inn, situated in a prominent and bustling area, boasting an excellent location.

After showing the innkeeper the token given to him by the Hua family, Lin Zhu moved in and was admitted to the best courtyard.

The next day, Sheng Yayu and his three companions arrived. After giving Lin Zhu's name, they were led to the courtyard by the innkeeper.

Knowing they were coming, Lin Zhu brewed tea and waited for them in the small pavilion in the courtyard.

Just like yesterday, he was dressed in blue and facing the courtyard gate.

The four of them saw him as soon as they entered, and their expressions momentarily dazed.
