As for hitting him, it was nothing serious; it was just a show for the chat group system.

This system is obviously not very intelligent.

"Alright," he said, taking out the zither, sitting down at the table, and raising his hands to calm his mind.

With a sudden inspiration, the melody of "Snowy Encounters" was played, descending to the mortal realm.

He became completely absorbed in it, and pulled them in as well.

The music evokes a sense of loneliness and carries a touch of sadness.

They seemed to hear his innermost thoughts; they realized that he was indeed somewhat lonely.

Chapter 110 Lu Xiaofeng's Big Mouth

The music simulates the feeling of an ensemble performance, not just the piano, but also the hulusi, yangqin, guzheng, ruan, liuqin, pipa, erhu, tanggu, and bells.

After all, both can use sonic attacks, so achieving this level is much simpler.

When the music ended, the women sighed.

There was a sense of sadness, but not overwhelming sadness; there was a subtle feeling of loss.

Yanfei recalled that Lin Zhu had said he was swept away by the Yangtze River flood, and that his family must have been lost at that time.

The other women thought of the same thing and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

But Lin Zhu didn't just lose a home; she lost her entire world. When she played the instrument, she poured that emotion into her music.

After playing, I felt much better.

Turning to look at them, sensing their emotions, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you all?"

The women were all in low spirits, shaking their heads and remaining silent.

They thought that hugging Lin Zhu might offer him some comfort, so they each hugged him once before returning to their room.

Lin Zhu never expected that playing the piano could have this effect. Sure enough, artsy young men are very attractive to women!

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the courtyard became quiet.

The following day, Consort Yan returned to the palace with Ji Ru, while Lin Zhu led Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong out of the inner city and back to the Yue Lai Inn.

At the Yuelai Inn, Jing Ke paced anxiously in place.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Brother Jing, why are you so nervous? Look at Brother Chu, he's not in a hurry at all." After saying that, he glanced at Chu Liuxiang, who was instructing Jing Tianming on the palm technique.

"Sigh!" Jing Ke sighed and said, "You don't understand. I'm not worried about Ali, I'm worried about Brother Lin."

"You wouldn't happen to have fallen for Brother Lin like Brother Chu, would you?" Lu Xiaofeng blurted out without thinking.

"What?" Everyone, including Jing Tianming, looked at Chu Liuxiang with astonishment.

Chu Liuxiang, however, didn't care at this moment. He pointed his folding fan at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, I don't even know what to say about you!"

Outside the courtyard, Lin Zhu and the others had just returned and overheard their conversation.

Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er looked at Lin Zhu with very complicated expressions.

They originally thought that Chu Liuxiang would one day truly fall in love with them, but it turned out that he actually liked men.

"It's all a misunderstanding," Lin Zhu explained. "As you know, he mistook me for someone else because of my appearance."

"They're back." Jing Ke stepped out and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Ji was safe and sound.

"Yes, it's just a misunderstanding." A white figure flashed, and Chu Liuxiang quickly came out to explain.

"You guys chat for a bit." Lin Zhu leaped up and jumped over the courtyard wall. "Lu Xiaofeng, let's duel!"

A wisp of smoke drifted away, and Lu Xiaofeng's voice drifted from afar, "Brother Lin, I am feeling unwell and will be leaving for a few days."

“This Lu Xiaofeng!” Hua Manlou shook his head and smiled.

Lin Zhu didn't chase after him, thinking, "He's lucky he ran fast."

The misunderstanding had been cleared up, and the awkwardness between him and Chu Liuxiang was gone.

But Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er were completely bewildered.

Between Chu Liuxiang's preference for men and his dislike of women, the latter were more difficult for them to accept.

She couldn't help but think to herself, 'So Brother Chu has no romantic feelings for me!' When she looked at him again, the light in her eyes dimmed a little.

Chu Liuxiang sensed something and smiled at the three of them.

Jing Ke approached Li Ji and asked, "Where did you stay last night?"

Li Ji made no attempt to hide anything and said with a smile, "You were worried at Yan Fei's villa, weren't you?"

"There are some." Jing Ke chuckled sheepishly, then glared at Jing Tianming. If this filial son hadn't said yesterday that Li Ji and Lin Zhu should sleep together, he wouldn't be so worried.

But now it seems that's not possible.

After chatting for a while, Huang Rong looked at Butcher Ding and said, "Master Butcher Ding, since I didn't get to learn from him yesterday, how about we have a competition today?"

"No problem!" Butcher Ding laughed. "I was just looking forward to trying Miss Huang's cooking."

The two of them, each with their own assistants, began preparations.

Outside the Yuelai Inn, a red figure rushed in, walked straight into the courtyard, heard the noise from the kitchen, and went over.

"Rong'er, where is Lin Zhu?"

Huang Rong was preparing ingredients with Song Tian'er when she turned around and saw Liu Ruoxin. She immediately knew why she had come. "He's in the main courtyard!"

"I'll go find her." Liu Ruoxin nodded, glanced at Song Tian'er, smiled at her, and turned to head towards the main courtyard.

The main courtyard gates were open, and everyone listened to Chu Liuxiang talk about things in the martial arts world, gaining some knowledge in the process.

Liu Ruoxin walked in slowly and was quite surprised to see so many people.

They saw her too.

Zhang San Niang greeted her warmly, "Ruo Xin, what brings you here!"

Chu Liuxiang and Jing Ke, seeing yet another beautiful woman, couldn't help but look at Lin Zhu, wondering if she had come to see him again.

Lin Zhu was certain that this was the person who had come to find him and was going to beat him up.

"I'm here to see Lin Zhu." Liu Ruoxin was a little embarrassed, but she really wanted the expanded storage space!

He looked at Lin Zhu with some hesitation.

Lin Zhu readily agreed, "Let's go, let's talk in my room."

"I'll go too." Zhang San Niang was a little worried, but she followed.

The three of them arrived at the small courtyard.

Li Ji looked at Su Rongrong and asked, "This Miss Liu doesn't know Lin's identity yet, does she?"

Su Rongrong chuckled, "They probably mistook her for Lin Daiyu."

Li Ji asked again, "Sister San should tell her, right?"

Su Rongrong shook her head, "I'm not too sure about that."

"This!" Liu Ruoxin was surprised by Lin Zhu's cooperation. She looked at Zhang Sanniang, somewhat at a loss, and asked, "Why?"

"Just think of it as receiving a perk. I'm the delivery guy who receives perks, so it's no big deal."

Lin Zhu didn't really care about that; he just thought it was a pleasure to help others.

Liu Ruoxin, however, hesitated to make a move and asked, "How should we attack?"

"Beat him up as you please," Zhang Sanniang said. "He's tough-skinned."

"Huh?" Liu Ruoxin was completely confused.

Zhang San Niang explained, "He practices the Golden Bell Cover technique; you can't beat him."

"Golden Bell Shield, the Twelve-Level Golden Bell Shield?" Liu Ruoxin's mind went blank for a moment. "Isn't this something only men can practice?"

"Yes, I am a man. I've said it several times already, but you just don't believe me," Lin Zhu said with a touch of arrogance.

Liu Ruoxin didn't react and looked at Zhang Sanniang.

Zhang San Niang nodded; she had verified it herself, so it couldn't be wrong.

"Do you want to fight or not? If not, I'm leaving." Lin Zhu said, and then got up.

Liu Ruoxin finally went ahead with it, but after a few slaps, she felt a little unsure of herself.

【bite,……】

The system announcement sounded again.

"That actually works!"

Her muscles were indeed very firm, and she confirmed that Lin Zhu was a man, but she still found it hard to accept and asked, "Does Wuqing know?"

Chapter 111 The Emperor's Test

“She has mind-reading abilities, how could she not know?” Lin Zhu stood up and said, facing the two huge prejudices directly. “Step back a bit, you almost bumped into her.”

Liu Ruoxin quickly took two steps back, then looked at Lin Zhu carefully. No matter how she looked at him, he didn't seem like a man. She turned to ask, "Third Sister, how did you confirm that?"

Zhang San Niang blushed slightly.

"Can I tell you that?" Lin Zhu pursed her lips.

"You two... could it be?" Liu Ruoxin looked back and forth between the two, a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang San Niang interrupted her reverie. "He's too young, it won't work."

'I'm small? I'm not good enough?' Lin Zhu felt that Zhang San Niang's words were ambiguous.

"What do you want to do?" he asked warily, shrinking further into the bed. He had already learned his lesson twice and didn't want to do it a third time.

Liu Ruoxin looks much fiercer than Zhang Sanniang and Wang Yuyan. Who knows, out of curiosity, she might surprise him again.

But all she got in return was a look of disgust from her. "Why are you hiding? I'm not going to eat you. No wonder you absolutely refused to wear women's clothes before. Sigh, what a waste of a man." Seeing his expression, however, she felt a little tempted to tease him.

But with Zhang San Niang present, it's not appropriate to make a move!
