Chapter 97: The Truth Revealed

  Zhang Ruochen administered a holy pellet of healing medicine into Zhang Shaochuan's mouth, then carried him on his back and headed in the direction of Longwu Hall.

  Du Mu Xing Ling walked behind Zhang Ruo Chen, her hands clasped behind her back and her chest thrust out, gazing at Zhang Shao Chu with a hint of disdain. Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly as she said, "Zhang Ruo Chen, he really is your brother? I don't see how he looks like a prince."

  Zhang Ruochen had met Eighth Prince, Sixth Prince, Fifth Prince and Third Prince, but on their bodies, he couldn't feel the affection between brothers at all.

  Although Zhang Shaochu was not as handsome as those princes, he dared to stand up and help Zhang Ruochen when he needed it most, just for this point, it's worth Zhang Ruochen calling him Fourth Brother.

  Duanmu Xingling said again: "Zhang Ruochen, you won't be taking this fatty to Longwudian, will you?"

  "He's seriously injured, can't I take him back to recover?"

  Duanmu Xingling immediately blocked Zhang Ruochen's path, hands on hips, saying: "Not allowed, the Dragon Martial Hall does not permit men to enter."

  "Who decided that?"

  "This is the rule of the Western Courtyard" Du Mu Xingling's face slanted to one side, with a very proud expression.

  Zhang Ruochen completely ignored her and walked past her, entering the main gate of Longwu Hall. "If I can enter Longwu Hall, Fourth Brother can naturally also enter Longwu Hall."

  Duanmu Xingling chased after him, saying: "We didn't make things difficult for you because your talent has been recognized by us. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to leave the Longwu Hall safely last night."

  Zhang Ruochen seemed to have not heard Duanmu Xingling's words and directly walked towards Huang Ziyu.

  Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stopped in his tracks and let out a soft "hmm" as he stared at the sign above him, saying: "This is strange. This place was clearly Huang Zi First Number, how did it become Di Zi First Number?"

  The plaque above the side hall indeed reads "Number One Under Heaven".

  Zhang Ruochen's memory was quite strong, and he was certain that he had not taken a wrong turn. In that case, there was only one possibility - the plaque above the temple had been switched by someone.

  Who is so boring and swapped the first horizontal inscribed board of Di and the first horizontal inscribed board of Huang?

  Zhang Ruochen took out the bronze key and inserted it into the lock hole, only to find that the lock couldn't be opened either. It was clear that the lock had also been replaced.

  Du Mu Xingling's face showed an unnatural expression, her eyes blinked lightly, and she said in a low voice: "Zhang Ruochen, you've taken the wrong path. Huang Zi No. 1 is on the opposite side. This is Di Zi No. 1, where Sister Chen resides."

  "It's impossible, I came here last night and there's no way I'm wrong." Zhang Ruochen said firmly.

  Du Mu Xing Ling Dao said: "Perhaps last night was too dark and you remembered the wrong way"

  "There is no such possibility."

  Zhang Ruochen pulled out the bronze key, turned around, stared at Duanmu Xingling and said: "If this is the first place of Di character, then there is only one possibility. Last night, someone swapped the signboard and door lock of the first place of Di character and Huang character, just to lure me into the first place of Di character. Am I right?"

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes were fixed tightly on Duanmu Xingling.

  Du Mu Xing Ling did something shameful, her eyes staring at the ground, saying: "Who would be so bored"

  Zhang Ruochen said, "Xiyuan, no one dares to barge into Longwu Hall, outsiders don't even dare to come in. There are only three female demons living in Longwu Hall: Luoshuihan, Huangyanchen and Duanmuxingling. Huangyanchen wouldn't do such a thing, so the person who would do this can only be you or Luoshuihan. Let's go ask Luoshuihan, and we'll have an answer."

  "It's me, never mind"

  Du Mu Xing Ling finally admitted, forcing a smile and said: "Actually, I just wanted to play a joke on you guys, no one expected it would lead to such an uncontrollable situation last night."

  Zhang Ruochen sighed and said, "I thought you were strange when I saw you this morning. It was really you. Why did you do this? Do you know that last night almost killed me, and also almost killed Huang Yanchen?"

  Everything is now clear and transparent

  Du Mu Xingling also felt a bit guilty, putting on a very pitiful look, saying: "I've already said it, people just wanted to play a joke on you, who would have thought that you'd go and peek at Dust Sister bathing? And to say that you got away with a great deal. By the way, what exactly happened between you and Dust Sister last night? When I went to see her, she was crying all along, I've never seen her cry before."

  Zhang Ruochen's heart was filled with guilt, after all, it was he who had misunderstood Huang Yanchen last night and had beaten him severely.

  To tell the truth, the most wronged person is Huang Yanchen.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "A mysterious and powerful warrior, yet a publicly acknowledged female demon, she's actually crying."

  Du Mu Xing Ling nodded vigorously and said, "You really cried, it's heartbreaking. Did you beat her severely and then do something beastly to her?"

  "She told you this?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

  "Of course not."

  Duanmu Xingling said again: "I asked her, she didn't say. So I'm asking you."

  Last night, Zhang Ruochen did indeed look at Huang Yanchen from head to toe and even severely injured her. Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and said, "I was wrong to her."

  "You really did something beastly to her!" Du Mu Xing Ling's eyes widened in surprise, revealing a shocked expression.

  "Maybe so." Zhang Ruochen nodded lightly.

  In fact, Zhang Ruochen was a rather innocent young man, so he didn't really understand what Duanmu Xingling meant by "worse than beasts".

  In his previous life, he was infatuated with martial arts and rarely came into contact with men and women. Even when he fell in love with Princess Chi Yao, it was a very pure relationship, at most just holding hands.

  So in terms of relationships between men and women, he doesn't even understand as much as Du Mu Xing Ling.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "I'd better go and explain it clearly to her in person"

  "No."

  Duanmu Xingling stopped Zhang Ruochen again and said, "If Sister Dust knew, it was because of me that she ended up in that state. She must have hated me to death."

  Zhang Ruochen stared at Duanmu Xingling and said, "Isn't that just making me take the blame forever?"

  Du Mu Xing Ling thought for a moment, then said: "Besides, even if you go to explain now, it's useless. She'll see you and want to kill you on the spot. If she wants to kill you, all she needs to do is move her finger, will she listen to your explanation? Why don't we make a deal instead? You help me cover up last night's matter, and I'll help persuade Dust Sister to spare your life. How about it?"

  "She really wants me dead," Zhang Ruochen asked.

  Du Mu Xingling nodded and said, "Who told you to do such a thing to her? If it were me, I would definitely tear you apart. Of course, if I help you say a few good words and persuade her, maybe she will let you off."

  "She let me off so easily again," Zhang Ruochen said.

  Du Mu Xingling smiled and said, "Although Dust Sister is called the 'Female Demon Head' and 'Ice Mountain Beauty' by those disciples, I know that she has always liked men with exceptional talent and has vowed to marry the most outstanding man in the world."

  "For example, Zhang TianGui, the first TianJiao of the 36 counties and states of TianMo Ridge, has always been on her lips, praising him non-stop. Your talent is not bad, although it's a bit worse than Zhang TianGui's, but as long as you're willing to work hard, your future achievements will definitely be impressive."

  "Dust sister might still take a liking to you, at that time you can keep your life and also get the beauty, what's not to be happy about? After all, you two are already like that"

  "Seventh Prince, Zhang TianGui." Zhang RuoChen murmured.

  Du Mu Xing Ling's eyes lit up and said: "Right, how could I forget? Zhang Tian Gui is indeed the seventh prince of Yun Wu County, which makes him your seventh brother."

  "The first genius of Tianmo Ridge's thirty-six counties and states" Zhang Ruochen said.

  Du Mu Xingling's eyes rarely showed a look of admiration, saying: "Zhang Yougui is much stronger than you. At the age of 16, he had already reached the third place on the Mysterious List and became the leader of the younger generation."

  "At seventeen, he broke through the Earth Boundary and became an inner disciple of the Cloud Heaven Sect with first place results."

  "Now, he's already twenty years old, and no one knows what level his cultivation has reached. Such a heaven-spoiled child is hard to come by even in a hundred years. Zhang Ruochen, you only reached the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm at sixteen, and compared to your Seventh Brother, you're still far behind."

  "One day, I will surpass him."

  "If you have such ambition, with your talent, after practicing for three to five more years, you will definitely become a Xuanbang Wuzhe. When you become a Xuanbang Wuzhe, Dust Sister will definitely look at you in a new light." Duansheng Xingling lightly pursed her lips and smiled: "Let's just forget about what happened earlier, shall we?"

  "Alright, let's do it this way for now. I'm going to take Fourth Brother to Huang Zi's number one healing place. You don't have any objections, do you?"

  "No opinion, of course no opinion." said Du Mu Xing Ling with a smile.

  Zhang Ruochen carried Zhang Shaochu to Huangzi First Number, put Zhang Shaochu on the bed, and applied Jin Gu Duan Xun Gao to his arms.

  Although Zhang Shaochu's arm bones were broken, a martial artist's physique is much stronger than that of an ordinary person. With the medicinal properties of the Tendon and Bone Reconnecting Ointment, it would take at most half a month for his arm bones to recover completely.

  "Zhang Tianguì"

  Zhang Ruochen read these three words once and then shook his head again.

  He is now most concerned about preparing for his battle with Fung Chih-lin on the Life and Death Stage a month later.

  Fēng zhī lín is the cultivation of Xuánjíjìng's Dàjíwèi, and Zhāng Ruòchén only has a chance to defeat Fēng zhī lín after his cultivation reaches the later stage of Xuánjíjìng.

  Within a month's time, break through to the late stage of Xuanji Realm. Others might not be able to do it, but Zhang Ruochen will definitely be able to do it.

  Because he has a Time-Space Crystal.

  Inside the Time-Space Crystal, three months of cultivation would only amount to one month passing outside. In other words, Zhang Ruochen had three months of cultivation time.

  "With the rich cultivation resources on me, it's not a difficult task to reach the late stage of Xuanji in just three months."

  "My greatest weakness now is my martial skills. In three months' time, if I can successfully cultivate the fourth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prancing Palm or master the entire Tianxin Sword Technique, defeating Feng Zhilin will be a trivial matter."

  At this point, Zhang Ruochen entered the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal, and began to cultivate.
