Chapter 216: Duanmus Clever Move

  For the next two days, there were no more dangers, and Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen safely arrived at Wangcheng.

  Before entering Wangcheng, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen parted ways and did not travel together.

  Now, many people know that Huang Yanchen was rescued by a masked youth. If the two had entered the city at the same time, Zhang Rufeng's identity would have been completely exposed.

  After entering the imperial city, Zhang Ruochen did not immediately return to the palace, but instead wandered around the city, wanting to first investigate the situation in the imperial city.

  If he were to return to Wangcheng on the same day as Huang Yanchen, it would still arouse suspicion. In that case, he had no choice but to continue using Chen Ruo's identity and stay in Wangcheng for another two days.

  Two days later, resume Zhang Ruochen's identity.

  Wearing a metal mask, Zhang Ruochen first opened an upper room in an inn near Wu City.

  She opened the window and looked out onto the street, where there were cars and horses galloping by. Among them, about half were warriors, some carrying battle armor on their bodies, while others rode giant beasts.

  In the past, on the streets of Wangcheng, it was rare to see a martial arts master, but this time back, not long after, you can see a strong man in the extreme realm passing by.

  "The royal city has indeed become a place where dragons and tigers gather."

  "Go to Mushishi City and take a look around, you might be able to find the God's Dwelling Grass."

  Shensu Grass, an extremely rare spiritual medicine that can be used to help Zhang Ruochen cultivate his pseudo-divine body.

  Zhang Ruochen didn't know if he could find it in Yunwu County, and could only take an attitude of trying anyway.

  If it can't be found, it's also reasonable. At worst, I won't cultivate a fake divine body. If you want to improve your martial arts skills, there are naturally other ways.

  Since the Wu City Qianzhuang was destroyed by the joint efforts of Heishi and Baimoye, the situation in Wucheng has undergone tremendous changes.

  In the past, at least half of the industries in Wuxi were owned by the Wuxi Qianzhuang.

  Now, the whole Wu city is still thriving, it is the most prosperous place in Wang City, controlling the economic lifeline of Yunwu Prefecture, but it has long been replaced by a new owner.

  Zhang Ruochen was walking on a street in Dan City when a gentle breeze blew from behind, and a soft jade hand lightly patted his shoulder. At the same time, a charming and pleasant laugh sounded: "Younger brother, it's been a long time."

  Zhang Ruochen had already sensed it, so he wasn't surprised. He turned around to look at Duanmu Xingling and said: "Duanmu Shijie, how did you recognize me?"

  Du Mu Xing's charming smile glanced at Xiao Hei standing not far away.

  Then, she pretended to be resentful and stretched out a crystal-like jade finger, forcefully pointing at Zhang Ruochen's chest, saying: "Returning to Wang City, you didn't even come to find me. If it wasn't for Xiao Hei telling me, I wouldn't have known that you had already returned."

  Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly, looked around, and said in a low voice: "My current identity is Chen Ruo, the secret disciple of the Silver Robe Elder Hall's master. Sister, please don't leak it out."

  "It was you who killed the master of Hei Hu Hall, Tie Ma Bei, and rushed into Di Huo City to rescue Chen Jie!" Du Mu Xing Ling's big eyes showed an excited expression, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly, with a very vivid look in her eyes.

  Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised and said: "Shi Jie already knows"

  "Of course"

  Duanmu Xingling's tongue lightly licked her red lips, revealing a seductive expression. "In the past two days, the entire martial arts world in the Imperial City has almost spread the news. They say you killed Ironback with one sword and annihilated the Black Tiger Hall. Afterwards, you single-handedly entered the Earthfire City, entering and exiting seven times, killing 800 evil Dao warriors, leaving behind a bloody carnage, and finally rescued the Smoke Dust County Princess."

  "Now, everyone knows that Wushu Academy has produced a peerless genius like you. Some of the legends are so unbelievable that even I find them hard to believe."

  Zhang Ruochen's face was slightly flushed as he said, "What other legends are there?"

  Duanmu Xingling's jade-like fingers supported her chin, and she smiled brightly: "It is said that you possess both ice and fire physiques, capable of triggering the 'Hundred Zhang Flying Snow' and 'Hundred Zhang Blazing Plains' two heavenly phenomena. Moreover, it is even said that you have reached the state of 'Sword Heart Transparency', able to wield your sword to fly through the skies, just like a young Sword Immortal, unmatched under heaven."

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "The rumors are also too exaggerated."

  "Really, I just feel it's not real." Du Mu Xing Ling's two black eyebrows slightly raised, carefully sizing up Zhang Ruo Chen, as if wanting to re-examine every inch of his body.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Duanmu Shijie, what's with this gaze of yours?"

  "I originally thought the legend was too fake, but after seeing you, I'm thinking again, could the legend be true?" Du Mu Xingchen slightly pursed her crystal-like lips, with a curious expression in her eyes.

  "There's truth and there's falsehood, in the future, Shifu will naturally understand." Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but smile wryly.

  Duanmu Xingling nodded and rolled her eyes, saying: "Since you rescued Duan sister, shouldn't you have already moved that icy heart of hers and successfully won the beauty's favor? Why are you back alone without Duan sister?"

  Zhang Ruochen said: "I still can't reveal my identity now, so before we enter the city gate, let's separate first."

  "You're in a pitiful state" Du Mu Xingling shook her head and sighed, gazing at Zhang Ruochen with some sympathy.

  "Why"

  Duanmu Xingling said: "Because you now have a love rival."

  "Love Rival" Zhang Ruochen was taken aback and lost his smile: "How did I not know that a love rival would pop up at some point?"

  "Because your greatest enemy is yourself."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "..."

  Duanmu Xingling saw that Zhang Ruochen still didn't seem to understand, so he continued: "Now, all the warriors in the imperial city know about Chen Ruochen, the top genius of Wushang Academy. He went through nine deaths and one life, rescued Yanchen Junzhu from the Earth Fire City. This heroic act of saving a beauty is something that people love to talk about. Everyone is saying that when Yanchen Junzhu was in trouble, the Ninth Prince was nowhere to be seen, but Chen Ruochen dared to brave danger and rescue Yanchen Junzhu from her predicament. This is truly a heroic and beautiful tale."

  "It turned out that Duanmu Shijie was referring to this matter." Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head, saying: "Let them say what they want, I don't care."

  Du Mu Xing Ling Dao: "You don't care, Yun Wu Jun Wang can't not care about your mother Lin Fei Niang Niang can't not care about the face of Qian Shui Jun Guo, Qian Shui Jun Wang can't not care"

  "Even if they knew the truth, but the world didn't know the truth. At that time, when people mention the Smoke Dust County Master, the first person they think of is not the Ninth Prince Zhang Ruo Chen, but the genius Chen Ruo. Everyone will say that the Smoke Dust County Master and Chen Ruo are a match made in heaven, that's what they call a beauty and a hero. Let me ask you, at that time, if you appear as Zhang Ruo Chen, what kind of eyes will people look at you with?"

  Zhang Ruochen's face also turned solemn, as if he had really thought things were too simple.

  He may not care about what other warriors think, but his mother will definitely care. The Cloud Martial Prince and the Thousand Waters Prince are both rulers of a country, they value their own dignity the most, and they will also care.

  Duanmu Xingling looked at Zhang Ruochen's contemplative expression and smiled, saying: "If you don't have a solution, I can actually help you."

  Zhang Ruochen suddenly lifted his head, staring at Duanmu Xingling, who was staring at her with a pair of beautiful big eyes close up, and said: "Sister, do you have a way?"

  "That's natural."

  Du Mu Xingling puffed out his chest, smiling complacently: "If genius Chen You already has a beautiful and lovely girlfriend, everyone will naturally not think much of it, they'll just think that he's rescuing Yunchen Junzhu purely out of fraternal affection. And if Chen You's girlfriend is very close to Yunchen Junzhu, that would be even better."

  Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly and said: "Duanmu Shijie, isn't it not good for you to do this yourself? After all, this kind of thing has a bad influence and damages Duanmu Shijie's reputation."

  Duanmu Xingling let out a long sigh and said, "Who else would help you two if I didn't? One of you is my best friend, the other is my best sister. If I don't help you, who will?"

  "Hey, junior brother, if you really feel that you owe me, sending me a few space rings would be fine. After all, once our relationship is made public, those talented and handsome guys who used to pursue me will definitely back off."

  Zhang Ruochen said, "I can understand the painstaking efforts of my senior sister. In that case, even if I were to give her ten or eight spatial rings, they would be of no use to her. However, I can offer her a great opportunity."

  "What chance" asked Du Mu Xing Ling curiously.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "At the earliest in one year, at the latest in two years, Shifu will naturally understand."

  Zhang Ruochen was referring to the Dragon Palace at the bottom of Tongming River. At that time, he could take Duanmu Xingling with him.

  "Hmph, never mind." Du Mu Xingling crossed her arms over her chest, looking somewhat annoyed.

  Zhang Ruochen knew that Duanmu Xingling was not really angry, and said: "If Shizi doesn't have anything else to do, I still need to go buy a kind of spiritual medicine, so I'll take my leave first."

  Du Mu Xingling's eyes lit up, saying: "You want to buy spiritual medicine, what a coincidence! I know the owner of a spiritual medicine shop, and it's just at the intersection ahead. Since we're acquaintances, he'll definitely give you half price."

  "Alright then, let's go and try our luck first."

  Du Mu Xingling's eyes flashed a hint of pure light, stretched out slender fingers, hooked Zhang Ruochen's arm, soft and delicate body, somewhat intimately leaned towards Zhang Ruochen.

  A faint fragrance wafted from her body and drilled into Zhang Ruochen's nostrils.

  Zhang Ruochen's body stiffened, and he immediately stopped in his tracks, saying: "Shi Jie, what are you doing?"

  "Now that I'm your girlfriend, I should naturally show more affection, and it's best if everyone knows." Du Mu Xing Ling said in a soft and fluffy tone, her voice was like a gentle breeze that could melt people's bones.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled wryly and said, "No need to be so deliberate."

  "If it weren't so deliberate, how would those following you be able to see?" said Du Mu Xing Ling.

  Zhang Ruochen naturally knew that when he entered the city, there were more than one group of people hiding in secret, following him. Until now, there were still many people hiding around, secretly observing Zhang Ruochen's every move.

  It can be expected that the intimate attitude shown by Duanmu Xingling will definitely be transmitted to the intelligence desk of various forces in the first time.
