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

Huang Yaoshi was taken aback. "Rong'er is back?"

“No, I’m in the capital!” Feng Heng said. “Don’t ask why, you know I can’t explain.”

Huang Yaoshi thought for a moment, and considering the various behaviors of his wife and daughter, he had a guess. But this kind of magical method was ultimately a good thing and convenient. He nodded and said, "Okay, I won't ask."

He truly loved Feng Heng, and although what happened to Feng Heng was unbelievable, he eventually let it go.

After taking the precious medicine, he played with his youngest daughter for a while before leaving the house.

Because she caught Jin Rufeng, Liu Ruoxin got a three-day holiday, and today she can spend time with Lin Zhu and the others.

When there are no major cases, Sheng Yayu often takes paid leave.

The five people left the Yuelai Inn and headed towards Nanlaiwang.

Lin Zhu asked, "I've only heard of the Eastern Depot, the Western Depot, and the Internal Affairs Depot. What about the Southern Depot and the Northern Depot?"

Liu Ruoxin was quite familiar with this issue and said, "Originally, there wasn't one. Later, the Emperor felt that the strength gap between the East and West Depots was too large, so he separated Cao Shaoqin and Cao Renchao from them and established the South and North Depots. In this way, the strength of the four Grandmasters was balanced."

Lin Zhu asked curiously, "The head of the Eastern Depot was Cao Zhengchun. Did Cao Renchao and Cao Shaoqin really have a relationship with him?"

“Cao Shaoqin was his adopted son, and Cao Renchao was his student. But as you know, for people like them, such a relationship can be severed as soon as they are no longer subordinate to each other,” Liu Ruoxin explained, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the entrance of Tianhe Medical Clinic.

"Why don't we go in and take a look?" she suggested.

Before Lin Zhu and the others could even reply, Chen An'an ran out first, shouting, "Liu Ruoxin, where did you go last night? How dare you stay out all night!"

"You're starting to tell me what to do now?" Liu Ruoxin said with a light laugh.

Chen An'an habitually put her hands on her hips and said, "As long as you're at my Tianhe Medical Clinic, you're my employee. I don't care if you're a spy from the Western Depot or not. In short, you're not allowed to stay out all night like this anymore."

Just as Liu Ruoxin was about to retort, Sheng Yayu said, "She's worried about you. You didn't go home last night, and she was worried all night, thinking something had happened to you."

"No, don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly worry about her?" Chen An'an immediately retorted, then turned her head and exclaimed, 'This one is beautiful too!'

"Thank you for the compliment," Sheng Yayu said with a smile.

"When did I praise you?" Chen An'an looked at Sheng Yayu with a surprised expression.

Sheng Yayu said, "Didn't you compliment my looks?"

"How did you know?" Chen An'an instinctively covered her mouth.

Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong also looked at Sheng Ya Yu, as they had not heard Chen An An say those words.

Lin Zhu explained, "Sister Ya Yu can read minds."

“Yes!” Liu Ruoxin nodded. “Most people who know about the Divine Marquis’s Mansion know this.”

Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong both looked at Sheng Ya Yu with disbelief, and then began to wonder if Sheng Ya Yu had read their minds.

Sheng Yayu nodded to them, "I didn't mean to."

Therefore, Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong both realized that she also knew that Lin Zhu was a man, or rather, it would be more accurate to say that she confirmed it.

"Mind reading!" Chen An'an exclaimed.

Liu Ruoxin quickly covered her mouth, "What are you shouting for? Come inside with me."

The five people were forced into Tianhe Medical Clinic.

Since mind-reading is ineffective against Grandmasters and is easily detected, it is no secret that Sheng Yayu can read minds.

There are quite a few people with the same abilities as her, including three from the Imperial Observatory.

There are also five fortune tellers, which is even more amazing.

Chapter 95 The Insightful Old Lady

In the backyard of Tianhe Medical Clinic, Liu Ruoxin released Chen An'an.

"Liu Ruoxin, what are you trying to do?" Chen An'an asked angrily.

"What are you doing? What do you think? You're making such a racket at the gate, isn't that embarrassing enough?" Liu Ruoxin looked disgusted, but deep down, she felt a surge of goodwill towards Chen An'an.

It feels good to be cared for.

"I'm not embarrassing you," Chen An'an replied confidently.

Several people chuckled to themselves.

In the woodshed, the thin and bony Zhao Buzhu came out after hearing the commotion, and then saw this group of people. He was so overwhelmed that he didn't know how to speak.

Liu Ruoxin glanced over and noticed it, her gaze sharpening as she said, "Get out!"

"Alright!" Zhao Buzhu shuddered and quickly left. He knew Liu Ruoxin's identity as a West Depot agent and was very pragmatic.

"This is Zhao Buzhu. He's not a bad person, but just ignore him," Liu Ruoxin said to the group.

"I never expected to hear those words from you, Liu Ruoxin." Chen An'an and Liu Ruoxin are a unique pair, each sentence carrying a barb.

Liu Ruoxin sighed helplessly, "Want to try the pigeon from Nanlaiwang? It's on me."

Chen An'an looked Liu Ruoxin up and down and said, "A pigeon from Nanlaiwang costs three taels of silver. There are six of us here, so it's eighteen taels in total. I hope we won't eat up your entire monthly salary."

One tael of silver was worth a thousand coins, enough to buy five hundred catties of rice, so its purchasing power was quite strong.

Three taels of silver for a pigeon is extremely expensive.

"I just received a hundred taels of silver yesterday, so I'm asking you whether you want to eat or not," Liu Ruoxin asked again.

“Eat, why wouldn’t I eat?” Chen An’an said matter-of-factly. “But it’s a bit too early to go now.”

It's still a quarter of an hour before 9 AM, which is indeed a bit early.

"Why don't we sit down and have a chat?" Chen An'an said, looking at Sheng Yayu with some curiosity about mind reading. "Sister Yayu, don't you think so?"

The two had met once before, and Chen An'an hadn't forgotten her.

Sheng Yayu looked at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu said, "Alright, let's talk then."

"Okay, I'll go get some sunflower seeds." Chen An'an happily scurried over with a plate of sunflower seeds from somewhere, placed it on the table, and then asked, "Sister Ya Yu, can anyone hear your mind-reading ability?"

“Not really.” Sheng Yayu shook his head. “Under normal circumstances, I can only hear it when my emotions are fluctuating strongly, otherwise it’s too much of a strain on my mind. Also, Grandmasters have such high levels of mental cultivation that I can’t hear them either.”

Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong then realized why Sheng Ya Yu was able to hear their thoughts yesterday; his emotions had indeed fluctuated quite a bit at the time.

"What is a Grandmaster?" Chen An'an continued to ask, as she was not a martial artist and did not know much about it.

"You don't need to worry about that. Just know that your sister Ya Yu's mind-reading ability isn't omnipotent," Liu Ruoxin interrupted her question.

"Okay!" Chen An'an thought that Liu Ruoxin would be treating everyone later, so she would give her face. Then she turned her head and stared at Lin Zhu for a long time and asked, "Your name is Lin Zhu, right? Why are you so good-looking? I'm envious of you."

Then his gaze shifted downwards, 'This place is just like me; I'm not alone.'

"Pfft!" Sheng Yayu couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at her.

Sheng Yayu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered something funny. You guys continue."

Lin Zhu wondered if Sheng Yayu had overheard someone's thoughts again.

The most likely candidate is Chen An'an, as she is the most emotionally unstable and likely has many thoughts on her mind.

Chen An'an looked at Lin Zhu and said, "You still haven't told me why you're so beautiful!"

Lin Zhu sighed and said, "It's partly due to genetics and partly due to training."

"No, why do you still look so unwilling? If I could look like you, I'd be laughing in the middle of the night!"

Chen An'an looked at Lin Zhu and couldn't help but complain.

The other four nodded at the same time.

No woman is immune to the desire for beauty.

Zhang San Niang: 'Our future children will definitely be very beautiful.'

Huang Rong: 'The children my brother and I have will definitely be very good-looking; they don't matter who they resemble.'

Sheng Yayu heard this again, and looking at Lin Zhu, he couldn't help but think in the same direction. 'No, no, I can't think like that!'

Liu Ruoxin sighed and said, "If I were a man, I would definitely pursue you."

Lin Zhu looked at Zhang San Niang with a helpless expression.

Zhang San Niang also looked over, her eyes watery, and told Lin Zhu not to explain, then made a pinky promise.

Huang Rong, seeing this, immediately understood what it meant. 'So those two had a secret agreement I didn't know about.'

Chen An'an made a surprising statement: "I'm telling you, Liu Ruoxin, if you want to pursue her, you can do it now. Lin Zhu is dressed as a man right now, right? Just treat her like a man and pursue her. If I didn't already have Brother Zhu, I would pursue her too."

As he spoke, he continued to stare at Lin Zhu.

One can only say that this idea is quite bold, but it must also be said that Chen An'an truly loves Zhu Yipin.

Even Liu Ruoxin was stunned by her words.

It is indeed unconventional, but it also seems to make some sense.

But after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and said, "An'an, if Zhu Yipin ever wrongs you, just tell me and I'll chop him up for you."

The sound of unsteady footsteps rang out. Zhu Yipin steadied himself against a nearby pillar, then turned smoothly and walked away steadily, cold sweat pouring down his back.

Liu Ruoxin is a woman of her word.

He was on the verge of tears, 'I only ever saw An'an as a little sister!'

Sheng Yayu heard this again and said to Chen An'an, "An'an, I'll help you too."

'Heavens above, earth below, why are you doing this to me!' Zhu Yipin revealed a smile that was more like a grimace; he felt utterly hopeless about his life.

With Chen An'an's temper, if you really wanted to be with him, wouldn't you be completely controlled?

He couldn't help but shiver, and even forgot why he had gone to the backyard in the first place.

Chen An'an was overjoyed and looked at Liu Ruoxin, saying, "Sister Ruoxin, I'm relieved to hear what you've said."

She had always worried that Zhu Yipin would fall for Liu Ruoxin, so how could she not be happy to hear Liu Ruoxin's almost clear rejection?

At this point, they even started calling her "sister."

Lin Zhu watched them chatting enthusiastically, feeling as if they had known each other for a long time, enjoying each other's company.
