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

Chapter 123 Wu Xingyun's Idea to Open a Study Class

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and shook his head, then thought it best to leave it at that; there was no need to overemphasize whether Lin Zhu was male or female.

Below, Zhang Sanniang, holding Lin Zhu's arm, asked, "Is there anything up in the sky?"

Lin Zhu shook her head. "It's nothing, maybe it's just my imagination."

On stage, the results of the round of 32 to 16 were announced.

One person from the East District, Tang Sanjie from Longzhen Restaurant, won over the eight judges with a bowl of turtle soup, while the other three were eliminated.

In the west, only Li Yan advanced.

There was still one person to the due north: Cao Shaoqin.

Zheng Nan Xiang En and Shao An advanced.

All four from the southeast advanced, as did all four from the southwest.

Two players from the Northeast advanced: Paoding and Luo Gen.

One person from the Northwest advanced to the next level: the imperial chef of the Qin King's Palace.

The day after tomorrow will be the round of sixteen to eight, and each person will prepare four dishes.

On the stage, the Third Pig King put his arm around Zhang Fei's shoulder and said, "Zhang Laosan, how much beef do you have left? Is it enough?"

"What, you can't borrow it, you pig brother? I, Lao Zhang, remember you're not very good at cooking beef!"

"Who wants to borrow your beef? We're short on pork. I, Old Pig, can just go to Yanshan and slaughter a head of pig."

The Third Pig King and Zhang Fei clearly knew each other.

As the audience dispersed, Chu Liuxiang felt a tap on the back. "Old Chu, what brings you to the capital?"

"Bai Yutang!" Chu Liuxiang turned around and recognized the person. "Why are you here too? Aren't you afraid of the Six Doors anymore?"

"Hey, I've already made amends, nothing will happen to me." Bai Zhantang chuckled, then said, "Let me introduce you, this is our manager, Tong Xiangyu, the cook Li Dazui, and this is Xiao Guo. We plan to open an inn in the capital."

Lin Zhu turned to look at the group and realized that Bai Yutang and Chu Liuxiang knew each other. Back then, when they competed in lightness skills, Chu Liuxiang came in first and Bai Yutang came in second.

"Who are these people?" Bai Zhantang looked at Lin Zhu and his group of more than twenty people. The group of more than twenty people walking together was quite conspicuous.

Not to mention they were all handsome men and beautiful women, except for the butcher.

But Paoding also attracted a lot of attention; the chef, Li Dazui, had his eyes fixed on him.

"Let me introduce you," Chu Liuxiang said to Lin Zhu and the others. "This is Bai Zhantang, also known as Bai Yutang. He has a reputation in the martial arts world as the Saint of Thieves."

"So it's you!" Lu Xiaofeng said, "I've heard that your lightness skill is unparalleled. How about we have a match sometime? I am Lu Xiaofeng."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I heard about you from Sikong Zhaixing." Bai Zhantang cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Xiaofeng.

Chu Liuxiang, Bai Yutang, Sikong Zhaixing, and Ji Wuming are collectively known as the Four Great Thieves.

They were respectively known as the Thief General, the Thief Saint, the Thief God, and the Thief King.

Next, Chu Liuxiang introduced Lin Zhu and the others.

Tong Xiangyu looked at Lin Zhu with shimmering eyes, 'What a beautiful person!'

The fangirling is getting a bit too intense.

She caught Zhang San Niang's attention, but she wasn't jealous at all because she posed no threat.

Li Dazui approached Paoding and said, "Master Paoding, you're my idol! Can I get your autograph?"

"Huh?" Butcher Ding was a little confused. "An idol? What's that?"

"I really admire you. Could you please sign your name for me? I'll just write it here." Li Dazui said, taking out a blank book and a brush dipped in ink.

The preparations were quite thorough.

For some reason, Paoding felt good about this, and his gaze toward Li Dazui held a hint of appreciation. "Okay, I'll sign your autograph."

He quickly wrote his name, but the handwriting was crooked and ugly.

But Li Dazui still carefully hid it away.

The two groups didn't exchange pleasantries for long before parting ways.

As they rounded a corner, a white-haired woman appeared before them. "You Ruo!"

"Grandma!" Youruo's eyes lit up. "Why are you here?"

"What, can't I come?" Wu Xingyun looked at You Ruo with amusement, then sized up the crowd.

"Greetings, Grandma!" Lin Zhu and the group of beautiful women beside her bowed to Wu Xingyun in unison.

What a beautiful white-haired woman! She's just as stunning as the Snow Woman, Li Ji thought to herself.

"Get up." Wu Xingyun waved his hand, and his true energy surged out to help the group up.

He gave Lin Zhu a special look and said, "Not bad, not bad at all. You guys come with me."

Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, and the others did not know who Wu Xingyun was, but they knew she was definitely not simple. They bowed almost at the same time, saying, "Junior greets senior."

"You don't need to stand on ceremony, go back to your respective places first. Li Hongxiu, Song Tian'er, you two come with me," Wu Xingyun instructed.

"Yes, Grandma!" Li Hongxiu and Song Tian'er were a little confused, but they still called out "Grandma" after her.

Watching them leave, Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Do you know who this senior is?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head. "I don't know."

Hua Manlou was equally puzzled.

Lin Zhu and the others followed Wu Xingyun to the inner city, to a huge villa, even larger than Yan Fei's.

"I heard that you guys are crammed into a small courtyard at the Yuelai Inn. That's really outrageous. Stay here for the next few days, and afterwards, Grandma will take you back to Lingjiu Palace."

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.

"What do you mean, 'huh'?" Wu Xingyun looked at You Ruo. "You've been out for over a month and your martial arts haven't improved at all."

You Ru blushed and lowered her head.

Then, looking at Lin Shiyin, he said, "You were originally going to Lingjiu Palace, but now that your cousin has settled down in the capital, you will leave with me."

"Yes, Grandma!"

Li Jinwen became an advisor to the Six Doors, holding a position equal to that of Guo Juxia, while Long Xiaoyun also joined the organization as a Silver-Patterned Constable.

Lin Shiyin felt much more at ease about this and thought that going to Lingjiu Palace was not a bad idea.

Then he looked at Huang Rong and said, "I've heard of Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic. Feng Heng has a photographic memory, so her talent must be exceptional. You little girl are too playful. You should come with me to Lingjiu Palace to practice martial arts properly. I've already asked your mother, and she agrees."

Huang Rong's face fell. "Yes, Grandma."

"And you guys too." Wu Xingyun called out names one by one: Zhang Sanniang, Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er. "After you arrive at Lingjiu Palace, you must practice your skills diligently. You are not allowed to leave the palace until you reach the Grandmaster level."

“Look at Lin Zhu, he’s the youngest, but he’s the strongest.”

"That's because he stole the cultivation of so many of us," You Ruo whispered.

"That's her skill too." Wu Xingyun snorted. "You Ruo, ask yourself, if you were given thirty-nine years of cultivation, could you reach the Grandmaster level?"

"Oh no, does that mean I won't be able to leave the palace for over twenty years?" You Ruo felt like the sky was about to collapse.

The others didn't want to remain in seclusion forever either.

"You guys, which one of you isn't playful?" Wu Xingyun felt that since he was now the leader of the group, it was necessary to manage these group members.

"Don't worry, I won't make you suffer for twenty years. I will help you improve your skills, and you can leave the palace once every three years."

As Wu Xingyun spoke, he looked at Li Ji, Liu Ruoxin, and Shangguan Haitang.

“Li Ji, you have a husband and son, so you don’t need to go. Liu Ruoxin and Shangguan Haitang, you two are people of the court, so it’s not convenient for me to take you away.”

Seeing this, Lin Zhu said, "Grandma, I probably don't need to either, right?"

Aside from Li Ji, Liu Ruoxin, and Shangguan Haitang, the other women glared at him angrily, thinking, "What a disloyal little brat!"

Chapter 124 The Psychology of a Young Girl - Wu Xingyun

"You don't need to." Wu Xingyun looked at Lin Zhu, feeling an indescribable satisfaction. She was truly beautiful. She couldn't resist reaching out and pinching Lin Zhu's cheek. It was real.

"You're so beautiful, I really want to take you home!"

"Grandma, I think it's a good idea," Huang Rong agreed.

“I think so too.” You Ruo nodded repeatedly.

The two women and the other beauties looked at Lin Zhu with shining eyes, hoping he would come with them to Lingjiu Palace.

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Xingyun tapped the three dates in her hand one by one. "She's still cultivating while you're around? Even I, her grandmother, can't help but want to take another look at her."

The women looked at Wu Xingyun in surprise. No way, if this were the one, they wouldn't stand a chance.

"Forget it, young people should go out and explore more, instead of staying in one place like an old woman like me, living a lifeless life."

"Grandma, you're not old at all. If you stood in front of Rong'er, people would think you were Rong'er's older sister!" Huang Rong clung to Wu Xingyun's arm and acted coquettishly, looking very cute.

Wu Xingyun was amused, "You're so clever!" Besides Lin Zhu, her favorite character was Huang Rong, who was quirky and lovable.

"Alright, everyone go back and rest. Xiaozhu and I still have things to do."

“I know,” Youruo said. “Grandma is going to beat up Xiaozhuzi too.”

"You think you're so smart? Go back and rest." Wu Xingyun shooed them away.

The others had no choice but to leave.

Lin Zhu looked at Wu Xingyun and said, "Grandma, don't use too much force. My body can't withstand your power."

"Don't worry, Grandma will be very gentle," Wu Xingyun said with a smile, her voice clear and crisp.

She looked to be only in her early twenties, and her full head of white hair did not make her look old; instead, it gave her a unique charm.

Compared to the long lifespan of martial artists at the Nascent Soul Realm, her current age of twenty is not much different from that of an ordinary person.

"Where should I start?" She looked at Lin Zhu, reluctant to make a move, feeling that this was God's most perfect creation.

"Hit her, Grandma! There's plenty of flesh there, it won't matter if you hurt her!" You Ruo shouted after not hearing any response for a long time.
