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

Chen An'an was completely stunned, then waved her hand and said, "Hello~!"

Zhu Yipin looked at Chen An'an on the left and Lin Zhu on the right, 'No, they're both women, does Chen An'an really need to act like this?'

He was slightly jealous, and even more worried that Chen An'an had become a pervert.

"An'an, I still need to take them to Yuelai Inn, so I'll be leaving now. Please take good care of the clinic!"

"Wait!" Chen An'an said, "Let me take them. It's not convenient for you, a grown man, to go. Besides, the clinic has patients who need your treatment."

Chen An'an turned the tables on him.

Zhu Yipin said, "How can that be? I'll take him there myself."

"Huh?" Chen An'an's eyes widened in anger.

Seeing this, Zhang San Niang politely declined, saying, "Since Doctor Zhu and Miss An'an are busy, we can go by ourselves. Yuelai Inn is just ahead, so there's no need to trouble you two."

"Hehehe, that's true!" Zhu Yipin pulled Chen An'an aside. "Then I'll see you all off here."

Chen An'an was slightly disappointed as she watched the three women walk away. Then she asked, "Brother Zhu, how did you get to know these three beauties?"

"They are Liu Ruoxin's friends," Yang Yuxuan said calmly.

"So they're Liu Ruoxin's friends? That's not surprising. Are they also government officials?" Chen An'an asked Yang Yuxuan.

She already knew that Liu Ruoxin and Yang Yuxuan were both spies.

"No, government officials in the capital generally don't stay at the Yuelai Inn; there are special post stations for them to stay at."

Yang Yuxuan said this.

However, this is not always the case. Some people prefer to stay in better places, and the accommodations at the inns are also graded.

In the lobby of Yuelai Inn, Lin Zhu took out the Hua family token and showed it to the innkeeper.

The shopkeeper quickly came out to lead the way, "Young Master Lin and two young ladies, this way please."

He led the three to a small courtyard and said, "The main courtyard has been booked by a distinguished guest. Please bear with us, Young Master Lin."

"It's alright." Lin Zhu waved his hand. "This courtyard is quite nice. Thank you for your help, innkeeper."

"You flatter me," the shopkeeper said respectfully, bowing slightly. "If there's anything you need, please come and give me your instructions."

Huang Rong said, "Could I prepare some ingredients? I want to cook myself."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu and Zhang San Niang couldn't help but salivate. Huang Rong's cooking skills were so good that she would personally cook whenever she had free time these days. Their palates had become so discerning that they couldn't live without her.

The shopkeeper said respectfully, "Please give your instructions, young lady."

"Hmm~!" Huang Rong pondered for a moment, "A piece of tofu, three crabs, a duck, and some bean sprouts..."

She immediately named more than a dozen ingredients.

The shopkeeper quickly had it prepared and delivered.

Zhang San Niang looked at Huang Rong and smiled, "I'll have to trouble Rong'er to cook again."

"What's so troublesome about that?" Huang Rong said with a smile, "Rong'er just loves cooking for her older sister and younger brother!"

“We’ll help too.”

While Lin Zhu and Zhang San Niang were not good at cooking, they were quite adept at handling ingredients.

Soon, the aroma wafted from the kitchen and spread to the surrounding area.

In the main courtyard, a middle-aged man sat with his head resting on a beautiful woman's lap, taking a bite of the watermelon offered by another beautiful woman, thoroughly enjoying himself.

A fragrant aroma wafted to my nose. "What a wonderful smell! I'll go ask if the inn has changed chefs?"

"Yes, Master An!" A servant ran out from the courtyard gate to inquire about the situation.

He returned shortly after and reported, "Reporting to Master An, the manager said that the three distinguished guests will cook for themselves."

"Oh, distinguished guest!" Master An smiled, stood up, and stroked his mustache, saying, "I'll go take a look."

The beautiful woman next to her was about to follow.

He waved his hand and said, "Why are you all staying here? What are you doing following me?" Then, alone, he followed the scent to the courtyard where Lin Zhu and the others were, and gently knocked on the gate.

It was a crisp autumn day, and Lin Zhu and the others placed the food on the stone table in the courtyard. Hearing a knock at the door, Lin Zhu asked, "Who is it?"

"I am your neighbor who lives next door. I came here after smelling the delicious aroma, and I wonder if you would be happy to have a bite to eat?"

Lin Zhu curiously opened the courtyard gate, and in front of her stood a middle-aged man with a beard who looked somewhat frivolous.

He was dressed in a dark-colored robe, like a merchant, but his strength was considerable; he was undoubtedly a grandmaster.

When Grandpa An saw Lin Zhu, he was also surprised. He couldn't see through Lin Zhu's strength and only thought that the person in front of him was an ordinary person.

But an ordinary person could not possibly pose a threat to him, yet the pinnacle could not either. He judged that the person must be like himself, a grandmaster.

Such a young grandmaster must have quite an impressive background!

But compared to his strength, he was more amazed by Lin Zhu's appearance. She was beautiful, so beautiful that she didn't look like a man.

Therefore, it can only be a woman.

"I have met this young master. I was a bit presumptuous, but the fragrance here is just too irresistible."

Grandpa An said this in a very polite and courteous manner.

"Who is it?" Zhang San Niang placed a plate of steamed fish on the dining table.

Huang Rong was still in the kitchen preparing the last dish.

A small bowl of soup, five hot dishes, and three cold dishes were already placed on the table.

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite someone. Please come in."

"Thank you!" Master An was also generous. He walked in and was equally amazed when he saw Zhang San Niang.

It just feels like birds of a feather flock together.

Lin Zhu said to Zhang San Niang, "She's the neighbor next door."

Zhang San Niang nodded to him.

Huang Rong came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate, and said with a charming smile, "Whose jade flute is playing 'Falling Plum Blossoms'?" Then she noticed there was someone else there.

Another beautiful woman. An Ye was once again amazed, but his gaze held only admiration, without a trace of desire.

At his age, he's had his fill of fun; now he's just living life to the fullest, indifferent to everything.

But they become exceptionally concerned about anything that interests them, such as food.

"I apologize for disturbing you." He bowed to the three of them. "My name is An Shigeng. It is quite impolite of me to come here so abruptly!"

Huang Rong looked at him and said, "Since it was my younger brother who invited you in, then there's nothing to worry about."

She didn't know An Shigeng, but Lin Zhu and Zhang Sanniang did.

Zhang San Niang asked, "Is it the God of Wealth of the Canal Transport Company?"

"My meager reputation is nothing to boast about, nothing to boast about!" An Shigeng waved his hand, speaking very modestly.

Lin Zhu looked at him strangely, 'This guy's showing up in the capital, is he planning to counterfeit copper coins? Can he even pull it off? There are so many experts in the capital.'

Chapter 93 Sheng Yayu's Mind-Reading Ability

Just as he was pondering, a red figure appeared at the courtyard gate. "I'm here."

It was Liu Ruoxin's voice. After handing Jin Rufeng over to the West Depot, she came directly to the Yuelai Inn to find him.

"Ruoxin, come in quickly, we're just waiting for you and Yayu." Zhang Sanniang waved towards the outside of the courtyard.

They had already discussed it in the group chat, and when they heard that Huang Rong was going to cook, Liu Ruoxin and Sheng Yayu naturally wanted to come and try it.

Shangguan Haitang is currently in Jiangnan and therefore unable to come.

Ji Ru and Yan Fei were trapped in the palace and couldn't leave.

An Shigen was astonished to see another beautiful woman arrive, and one from the Western Depot.

As a member of the Western Depot's guards, Liu Ruoxin knew certain people, and An Shigeng, the God of Wealth, was no exception. "Isn't this God of Wealth An? What a coincidence!"

"Greetings, Miss Liu." An Shigeng was very polite. As a businessman, he had to show respect to officials.

"You're too kind, God of Wealth." Liu Ruoxin simply smiled.

An Shigeng said, "I didn't know you had other guests. Shall I take my leave now?"

"Guests are welcome. It's just a meal, no need to be so polite," Lin Zhu said politely, trying to persuade him to stay.

An Shigeng took the opportunity to stay.

In the group chat, Lin Zhu started chatting with three women.

Liu Ruoxin: This guy is no good, you guys should be careful.

Huang Rong: He looks alright.

Liu Ruoxin: You can't judge a book by its cover. Why do you think the An family was able to control the Grand Canal? The process was bloody!

Huang Rong: Then why did you invite him in, little brother?

Lin Zhu: If I had known he was An Shigeng, I wouldn't have invited him.

Zhang San Niang: If he wants to leave, why are you staying?

Lin Zhu: I was just being polite! My bad!

Liu Ruoxin: Forget it, this is the capital city, and Lin Zhu has the strength of a Grandmaster. This guy can't cause any trouble. Let's ignore him.

Zhang San Niang: That's true. @Sheng Ya Yu, have you arrived yet?

Sheng Yayu: We've arrived at the entrance of Yuelai Inn.

In the courtyard, Liu Ruoxin said, "Sheng Yayu is arriving soon, I'll go pick him up."

An Shigeng was puzzled. How did Liu Ruoxin know that people were coming? But he didn't ask. Instead, he spoke to Lin Zhu and said, "Is this your first time visiting the capital?"

“Master An has a good eye,” Lin Zhu smiled and admitted.

Then, An Shigeng began to talk at length about the fun places in the capital, when there were gatherings, and which restaurant had the best local specialties.

If Lin Zhu didn't know this person's background, she would only think he was a kind and friendly uncle who gave people a friendly feeling.
