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

"Then forget it." Yanfei was just making a tentative invitation; it wouldn't matter if it didn't work out.

The three arrived at the courtyard, where Zhang San Niang and the other three were already waiting.

Apart from Lin Zhu, the entire courtyard was filled with beautiful women.

The mature Yanfei, the intellectual Zhang Sanniang, the adorable Huang Rong and Ji Ru, the ethereal Su Rongrong, and the playful Li Ji.

After they got to know each other.

As someone with experience, Yanfei immediately noticed that Zhang Sanniang and Huang Rong liked Lin Zhu, and said directly, "You two like him?"

Zhang San Niang blushed and nodded in agreement.

Huang Rong readily admitted it.

Ji Ru stared at Lin Zhu with her big eyes wide open, her face also turning red.

Yanfei patted her head, "Yue'er, you're still young, don't get involved in these things."

Su Rongrong said with a smile, "Sister Yu, Sister Rong'er, please don't hurt your relationship."

Lin Zhu readily grabbed Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong's hands in response.

Su Rongrong paused for a moment, then sighed inwardly, 'If only Brother Chu were as decisive as him.'

Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong glanced at Lin Zhu with some resentment, thinking, "What a greedy little man."

Ji Ru didn't think anything of it, after all, her father had three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, and had more than fifty children.

This is a tradition of the Ji family; King Wen of Zhou had a hundred sons back then.

After chatting for a while, Huang Rong said she was going to cook so that everyone could try her cooking.

They didn't discuss the content of the chat group. After learning that Li Hongxiu and Song Tian'er were in the opposite courtyard, Yanfei asked Su Rongrong to call them over as well.

Lin Zhu followed them to the main courtyard.

Men together, women together.

In the main courtyard, the butcher began cooking, with Jing Tianming helping him.

Lu Xiaofeng asked with some curiosity, "Brother Lin, how did you get to know those two? I remember Princess Yue has never left the capital, and rarely even left the palace."

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Brother Lu, are you that curious?"

"Um, if it's inconvenient, then you don't need to say anything," Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Lin Zhu nodded, "It's indeed inconvenient to talk about." Then he turned to Hua Manlou and asked, "Brother Hua, does Sister Su have a way to treat your eyes?"

Hua Manlou shook his head. "Miss Rongrong's medical skills are superb, but my eyesight is beyond human capabilities."

Lin Zhu thought for a moment and said, "I do know three people; they should have a solution."

"Oh, who?" Lu Xiaofeng asked hurriedly, even more anxious than Hua Manlou.

Lin Zhu had a feeling that Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, and Hua Manlou were involved in a love triangle.

Ximen Chuixue cares about Lu Xiaofeng, but Lu Xiaofeng cares more about Hua Manlou, who is full of love for everything in the world.

An enviable friendship, tinged with a hint of homoeroticism.

Lin Zhu said, "The one that's easier to find is Ping Yizhi, the famous doctor who's known for killing people."

"I cannot kill someone for a pair of eyes." Hua Manlou shook his head and said to Lu Xiaofeng, "Brother Lu, you don't need to kill someone for me."

"Sigh!" Lu Xiaofeng sighed. "That's how Seven Tong is. We've considered Ping Yizhi's side. Who are the other two?"

"One is Wu Yazi at Mantuo Manor, whose medical skills are extremely high. The other is Tianshan Tonglao at Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan. They both know how to change eyes."

Lin Zhu continued speaking.

"By the way, have you heard of Wang Lianhua? He should be able to as well; he's in Luoyang right now."

Hua Manlou continued to shake his head, "This method is against the natural order. Thank you for your kindness, Brother Lin. It's actually quite good that Qi Tong is like this."

"Is there no other way besides this method?" Lu Xiaofeng was a little anxious. He knew that Hua Manlou would not agree to do so.

“There’s another way, but it’s more difficult.” Lin Zhu sighed and shook his head.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "It won't be any more difficult than Qi Tong's stubbornness."

"Slaying the dragon in the East Sea and obtaining the Dragon Essence, consuming it will not only restore your eyesight but also grant you immortality and greatly increase your power."

Lin Zhu said something that was almost impossible to accomplish.

The dragon, as the most powerful mythical beast in the world, is no match for even the terrestrial deities.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed; that was even more impossible.

Then, with some curiosity, he asked, "Are there really dragons in the East China Sea?"

“Yes, there are fire unicorns in Lingyun Cave, so why can’t there be dragons in the East Sea?” Lin Zhu said, “There must be quite a few people who are eyeing it.”

Lu Xiaofeng nodded.

Many people know that the Fire Qilin resides in Lingyun Cave.

However, many people have doubts about whether there is a dragon in the East China Sea, and they don't know whether it is a real dragon or a fake one.

Just like the Xuanwu of Wudang Mountain, is that really the Xuanwu?

It is merely a combination of a tortoise and a snake, resembling the Black Tortoise, but lacking its true power.

Hua Manlou patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder, "Brother Lu, it seems that Heaven does not want my eyes to recover, so be it. Although I cannot see, I can still appreciate everything in the world, just in a different way."

Lu Xiaofeng patted Hua Manlou's hand and looked at him affectionately.

Jing Ke was somewhat moved and said, "Brother Hua is truly a wonderful and extraordinary person! I have no regrets in this life for being able to meet Brother Hua."

Chu Liuxiang nodded in agreement.

"The food's here!" Butcher Ding's words broke the strange atmosphere in the kitchen.

"It's so hot! So hot! So hot!" Jing Tianming ran ahead and brought over a bowl of soup, the rich aroma wafting towards us.

"Three-tiered soup, a soup made from a whole old hen and various other ingredients," Jing Tianming said, a trickle of saliva escaping from the corner of his mouth.

"Volcano Beef Tendon, Dragons Playing with a Pearl, and Eight Treasure Rabbit Meat are here." Butcher Ding also brought up three dishes.

Then, Lin Zhu and the others went to help, making a total of seven people. They ate sixteen dishes, including a bowl of soup.

A soup with five vegetarian dishes and ten meat dishes, its aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water.

This is the aroma of meat.

Across from them, Huang Rong and Song Tian'er collaborated to prepare a table of dishes, which were even more exquisite.

Two fragrant aromas lingered in the courtyard, sparking lively discussion among the guests.

"The food at Yuelai Inn doesn't smell this good. Could it be a chef who's here to participate in a cooking competition?"

"It should be. I really want to have a bite, but I don't know if the host will agree."

Then, a large group of people appeared between the two courtyards.

But seeing so many people, they decided not to go.

If it were just one or two people, they could get through, but if there were many, it definitely wouldn't work.

So, after taking another breath, they all dispersed without prior arrangement.

Huang Rong and Paoding's cooking competition failed to be completed, but Huang Rong and Song Tian'er complemented each other perfectly.

"Delicious! Even better than the food prepared by the imperial chefs!" Ji Ru kept eating and praising the food. "I wish Sister Rong'er and Sister Tian'er could come to the palace with me."

"You're lucky you even have anything to eat. Do you really want your two older sisters to go to the palace to serve your father?"

Yanfei patted Jiru's head.

"Then forget it, we can't let our sisters suffer." Ji Ru understood some things.

Huang Rong and Song Tian'er didn't mind; children say the darndest things.

Their cooking is more subtle in aroma, which is inferior to the rich aroma of meat.

The aroma of meat was strong, but not greasy at all, and it quickly became more palpable.

Huang Rong sniffed lightly and said, "Master Chef Ding's cooking skills are really good, all of them are meat dishes!"

“Yes, Master Chef Ding prefers meat,” Li Ji said with a smile. “But Rong’er and Tian’er, your cooking skills are even better. I like your dishes better.”

Song Tian'er smiled shyly at the praise, "It's all thanks to Rong'er's skill. I just helped out a little."

"Sister Tian'er, you're too modest. Didn't you make all five dishes? They're just as good as mine." Huang Rong pointed to Song Tian'er's creations and said honestly.

Both Lin Zhu's and Huang Rong's groups thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

"I'm so full!" Jing Tianming hugged his stomach, half-reclining in the chair, looking completely content.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him and felt very fond of him. He couldn't help but have the thought of taking him as a disciple, but he quickly dismissed it. He couldn't even take care of himself, so he was not yet qualified to be a teacher.

After the meal, Ji Ru suggested, "Mother, and sisters, shall we go out and have some fun? I haven't been to the capital in ages."

"Alright, you're the boss today, I'll listen to you." Yanfei invited, "My dear sisters, shall we walk together?"

"Should we call them along?" Li Hongxiu looked towards the main courtyard.

Yan Fei nodded and said, "Let's ask."

Would they disagree? Of course not.

So, the group, with the women in front and the men behind, left the Yuelai Inn.

When Ji Rujing and Tianming saw people their own age, they couldn't help but look at each other with curiosity.

When Jing Tianming saw Ji Ru, his heart pounded.

Ji Ru, on the other hand, didn't seem to feel much and still preferred to stare at Lin Zhu.

This disappointed Jing Tianming, who said, "Brother Lin, why are you so beautiful?"

"Sigh, it's my fault." Lin Zhu sighed, stroking Jing Tianming's head. "I'm also very troubled by this."

"I really want to hit him, what should I do?" Lu Xiaofeng said to Chu Liuxiang.
