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

"Rongrong (sister), do you know what's going on?" Li Hongxiu and Song Tian'er looked at Su Rongrong curiously. They were keenly aware that Su Rongrong and the other women, as well as Lin Zhu, had some kind of secret and close connection with each other.

Lin Shiyin ultimately felt she had to give Li Jinwen some face, so she shook her head at Su Rongrong, while also knowing that Li Hongxiu and Song Tian'er hadn't joined the group yet.

While both women are beautiful, they fall short of Su Rongrong in some ways, particularly in terms of temperament and certain other qualities.

I have no idea how chat groups actually recruit people.

Look, apart from Lin Zhu, they are all women.

Huang Rong, ever the clever one, said, "Sisters, let's go over there and chat. We'll leave this place to these men, okay?"

"Okay, let's go!" Lin Shiyin's eyes lit up, and she and Huang Rong casually pulled Lin Zhu along and left together.

Lin Zhu was taken aback. "Wait a minute, I should stay here."

"Let's go!" Zhang Sanniang gave Lin Zhu a push from behind. "What are you doing staying here?"

“That’s right.” Li Ji also pushed Lin Zhu from behind.

Lin Zhu didn't resist much and was pushed out of the main courtyard.

Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, and Jing Ke looked at Lin Zhu with envy.

Seeing this, Li Jinwen understood what was going on and asked, "Brother Chu, Brother Lu, have you both taken a liking to that Miss Lin Zhu?" He felt that he finally had two friends who were in the same boat.

Hua Manlou had just taken a sip of tea when he couldn't help but spit it out and coughed a few times.

You might want to laugh, but you also feel that this young scholar Li Tanhua wasn't wrong.

"What are you saying?" Chu Liuxiang asked anxiously. "Brother Lin is a man, just with feminine features. Brother Lu and I are just envious."

“Yes.” Lu Xiaofeng quickly nodded in agreement.

Hua Manlou stopped coughing and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Hua Manlou, what are you laughing at?" Lu Xiaofeng saw his smile and knew exactly what he was thinking about him.

"No, it's just that I was thinking about how we first met Brother Lin. It's nothing," Hua Manlou explained with a smile.

Chu Liuxiang's eyes lit up. "Brother Hua, tell me in detail."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "What's there to say? I just made three new friends."

"Is that all?" Chu Liuxiang chuckled strangely. He had been rained on himself, so he wanted Lu Xiaofeng to get wet too. He said, "When you saw him, even if you weren't dumbfounded, your heart must have been racing." He turned to Hua Manlou, "Brother Hua, don't you think so?"

"This!" Hua Manlou was at a loss for words, as he had indeed heard Lu Xiaofeng's heartbeat quicken at the time.

"No need to say anything more," Chu Liuxiang said. "Since Brother Hua is hesitating, it means my guess is correct." He looked smug.

Lu Xiaofeng's face darkened completely. 'My lifelong reputation!'

Li Jinwen asked, "Brother Chu, why are you so agitated?"

Lu Xiaofeng thought to himself, 'If I'm not having a good time, then Chu Liuxiang shouldn't even think about it either.' He quickly said, 'When Brother Chu and Brother Lin first met, she almost confessed her love to him on the spot. Her infatuated appearance was simply amazing!'

"Lu Xiaofeng!" Chu Liuxiang was furious.

"Chu Liuxiang!" Lu Xiaofeng retorted without backing down.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Lin Zhu and the others had just left the courtyard and hadn't gone far when they heard this gossip, and all the beauties perked up their ears.

This is nothing to brag about, and Lin Zhu was about to go back and stop them.

Zhang San Niang reacted quickly, lying on his back and covering his mouth.

Huang Rong held him tightly, clinging to his arm in her arms.

Lin Shiyin then realized that Lin Zhu was indeed a man. She looked at their intertwined hands, thought for a moment, and still did not let go.

Li Ji stood in front of Lin Zhu, "Be good, little brother, listen to what they have to say."

Although there are seven faces, they all look like they're related to the Eight Trigrams.

Lin Zhu watched helplessly as Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang completed their self-destruction.

He used to be a gossipmonger for Lin Shiyin and Li Jinwen, but now he's become the gossip himself.

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!

He, Chu Liuxiang, and Lu Xiaofeng all suffered heavy losses, which satisfied the gossip of a bunch of people.

'I shouldn't have stepped out that door. If I hadn't, they wouldn't be so gossipy!'

Lin Zhu felt utterly despondent. She hadn't dared to use too much force before because she was afraid of hurting them, but now she really wasn't struggling anymore.

In the main courtyard, Hua Manlou said, "Well, actually, Brother Lin and those girls haven't gone far yet."

"What?" Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang's ears twitched slightly as they heard it.

At this moment, it's even more socially deadly.

Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang: "Old Hua, why didn't you remind us before?" They didn't even call him Qi Tong anymore.

Hua Manlou: "You didn't give me a chance either!"

Li Jinwen: "Wait, so that Brother Lin is really a man, not a woman! But why did Miss Zhang and Miss Huang pull him away?" He was clearly a little slow on the uptake.

Jing Tianming said, "Brother Lin is good-looking, I think even my mother would want him to be her son. Sigh!" He sighed as he spoke.

"Adopting a godson seems like a good idea." Jing Ke thought to himself, feeling that this would be much safer, as Lin Zhu's appearance was too dangerous for Li Ji.

Outside the courtyard, all the women looked at Li Ji.

Li Ji thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "If we're talking about adopting a son, Xiao Zhuzhu is a bit too old. Adopting a younger brother would be better."

"You actually thought about it!" Lin Shiyin looked at Li Ji, then at Zhang San Niang and Huang Rong.

The two women also looked at Li Ji, who actually wanted to be their mother-in-law.

"Brother Jing, they haven't actually left yet," Hua Manlou reminded him.

Jing Ke froze, then punched Jing Tianming on the head, saying, "See, it was all your doing."

Li Jinwen stared blankly as Jing Tianming's head was hit, then his face immediately turned cold.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng quickly explained, "Brother Li, Brother Jing and Xiao Tianming are father and son. This is just a normal procedure. You'll get used to it."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Butcher Ding nodded. "Just like this!"

With a "smack," a hand landed on Jing Tianming's back, causing him to stumble.

"Sigh!" Jing Tianming sighed again, "I feel like I haven't even mastered my skill of taking a beating yet, and I'm about to be beaten to death by you guys."

Upon hearing this, Jing Ke was taken aback. "Tianming, did we go too far?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Butcher Ding hurriedly asked.

The two looked tense.

"Here!" Jing Tianming pointed to his heart, exclaiming excitedly, "Could you have warned me before you hit me? I was almost scared to death!"

"Oh, so that's what it is!" Jing Ke breathed a sigh of relief. "It's alright then. You're my son, it's impossible for you to be scared to death."

He's a top-tier assassin, doing incredibly thrilling things; you absolutely need a strong heart to pull it off.

Jing Tianming is his son, how could he be scared to death?

Li Ji was outside the courtyard when she heard the commotion and was about to rush in to see what was going on, but she stopped after hearing the result.

"It's nothing, you brat, always making a fuss over nothing."

Lin Zhu let out two soft sobs.

Having heard all the gossip, Zhang San Niang realized that she was still covering Lin Zhu's mouth and quickly let go.

Lin Zhu was finally able to speak, "Sister Li, if this continues, Tianming will have psychological problems."

Li Ji laughed and said, "This is the path Tianming chose himself, and it's the hardship he has to go through. This is just the beginning. It's okay, he's very resilient!"

Lin Zhu was somewhat puzzled. "Does Tianming want to become a giant of our time?"

Chapter 116 On the Eve of the Food God Competition

“He has no such ambition!” Li Ji shook her head and said, “It’s all A Ke’s fault. She tells Tianming about her past every day, and unknowingly she has influenced Tianming to follow in her footsteps.”

Huang Rong said, "Become an assassin? Isn't Tianming not suited to learn his father's martial arts? He said he can't calm down."

“He said that being beaten is also a process of calming the mind. If Tianming really wants to do this in the future, with a strong physique, even if the assassination fails, he will have a high chance of survival. As for Ake’s martial arts, it’s not too late for Tianming to learn them when he grows up.”

The assassins of the Mohist school primarily killed the most wicked and evil people, so it's only natural that Jing Tianming admired his father.

Lin Zhu had originally thought of passing on the Longevity Technique to Jing Tianming, but then she thought about the side effects of the Longevity Technique and ultimately decided not to say so.

With no further activity from the main courtyard, the group returned to the smaller courtyard.

All eyes were fixed on Lin Zhu, their eyes filled with smiles.

Zhang San Niang said with a smile, "I knew that people would like you because you look like this, but I didn't expect that even Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang would be moved. Tsk tsk tsk!"

"You still dare to say that?" Lin Zhu's tone rose slightly.

"Hehehe!" The women laughed incessantly, including Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er.

They found it quite amusing that Chu Liuxiang had embarrassed himself.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Zhang Sanniang gently squeezed Lin Zhu's shoulders from behind, her two prejudiced faces pressing down on his head. "Sister will apologize to you, okay?"

This looks very intimate.

Seeing how natural the two of them were, you could tell they'd done this many times before.

Back at the main courtyard, Chu Liuxiang asked Li Jinwen and Lin Shiyin what had happened.

Li Jinwen thought for a moment and then gave a brief explanation.

Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang exchanged a glance and both sighed inwardly.

If it were them, they wouldn't have an easy time figuring this out either.

These three people are all very loyal and righteous; to put it nicely, they appreciate each other; to put it bluntly, they are birds of a feather.

In short, it means the same thing.

Jing Tianming said leisurely, "I think Sister Shiyin will probably fall for Brother Lin in a while."
