Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

Lianhua Town in Lianhua County, Lianhua Lake in the town, Lujiazhuang beside the lake, and there is a cave in Lujiazhuang!

The mansion by the Lotus Lake covers a vast area, with terraces and pavilions lined up one after another. Outside the manor, there are white walls and green willows hanging all around. Inside the manor, there are flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings. It is truly luxurious and extravagant.

The courtyard is deep and connected to the walls. Next to the main house, a thin old man sits cross-legged with his eyes slightly drooping. The incense of Huixin wood on the Huanghuali table rises in the air, and the place is quiet and peaceful, which makes people feel meditative.

Suddenly, the gaunt old man opened his eyes, and his whole body was filled with energy. Then he flashed out of the room, and then appeared in the west courtyard with a few leaps.

"Who dares to come to the Lu Mansion and make trouble?"

The thin old man had a hoarse and low voice. There was a scar at the corner of his mouth that slanted from the bottom to the base of his ear, making him look hideous and fierce.

"Hehe, the dog's nose is really sharp!" A chuckle was heard, and a delicate figure floated down from the roof. She took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face with a sweet smile and exotic charm. It was none other than Yu Lu, the number one courtesan in the world and the top girl of Yunyu Tower.

The gaunt old man had a sinister look in his eyes and a gloomy face. "I warned you that this is a troubled time. It's best not to come here recently."

"Oh my, you really treat this as your own home. Have you asked the landlord, Mr. Lu?" It was obvious that the old man was not someone to be trifled with, but Yu Lu didn't care at all, and her words were full of provocation.

"You... arrogant!"

The gaunt old man's face was flushed and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Hmph!" Yu Lu was too lazy to waste time talking to him. She turned around and walked away, shaking her ponytail, leaving the skinny old man alone to get angry.

"I don't know why the Palace Master insisted that I cooperate with these people. They are like dogs. Do they deserve it?"

Walking to the innermost room in the courtyard, where candles were still on, Yu Lu walked up and knocked gently on the door.

"Who?"

A female voice came from inside, sounding a little sleepy.

"Sister Hongmei, it's me!" Yu Lu said.

The door opened with a creak, and half of a body popped out. It was a young woman in her thirties dressed like a village girl.

"Why are you here so late, Master Flower?" The young village girl named Hongmei said with a smile.

"I miss Xiaobaoer!"

Yu Lu walked straight into the room. At the back of the room was a large carved bed. On the innermost side of the bed, a cute little baby was sleeping soundly.

The little treasure's nostrils flared, and his rosy and tender little mouth opened slightly, moving occasionally as if he was sucking something, with a crystal line of water flowing at the corner of his mouth.

"Little Baoer, do you miss your aunt?"

Yu Lu gently pinched the baby's rosy and chubby face, and couldn't help but lean over and give him a kiss.

The baby seemed to sense something, and he danced with his hands and legs, then smacked his lips, sucking even harder.

“Hehehe!” Seeing this scene, Yu Lu covered her mouth and chuckled. She stretched out her delicate jade hand and touched the tip of the baby’s round and tall nose. “You are so beautiful, but I don’t know who your father is?”

"As for Xiao Yunlei's father, the goddess doesn't want to talk about it, and the Palace Master can't do anything about it!" Hong Mei chuckled, "The goddess didn't let Xiao Yunlei use her surname, and she didn't want to give him a random surname. She went to great lengths to hide that unfaithful man from the sisters."

"Humph! Isn't it because of Master's favor that she became a goddess..." Yu Lu pouted her sexy red lips, her face full of dissatisfaction, "She wanted to hide Xiao Baoer in a commoner's home quietly, but I won't do as she wishes."

……

In a dark corner of a rooftop in Lujiazhuang, Qiao Rui was lurking quietly. He followed Yu Lu all the way here and had already confirmed that the little man sleeping in the room was Xiao Yunlei, but he did not show up rashly to rob him.

The skinny old man who had appeared before and was not on good terms with Yu Lu was a top master. Qiao Rui was not sure that he could snatch Xiao Yunlei away from Yu Lu in an instant. If he waited for a moment and attracted the skinny old man, he would not be able to escape.

He waited quietly like a wild beast hunting. Once Yu Lu left, he could easily take Xiao Yunlei away from the village girl. Even if the skinny old man reacted, he would be unable to reach him.

But when he heard Yu Lu and the others mention the word "celestial being", Qiao Rui's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly thought of the mysterious and peerless woman on the Tianshan Mountain, Murong Hanyan.

It seemed that the women from the Chitian Sect, Haotian Sect, Youtian Sect, and Xuantian Sect all called Murong Hanyan the Goddess of Heaven.

Is it her? Is the goddess that Yu Lu mentioned the same person as Murong Hanyan?

This little Yunlei was actually the son of some goddess, so why did she abandon her own son? She quietly left him in front of Grandpa's door. Was it accidental or deliberate?

Qiao Rui shook his head lightly. When he first became his disciple, the old monk set three rules for him: he must not be bloodthirsty, he must not be immoral, and he must not associate with the Gu and Murong families.

Therefore, after he came down from Tianshan Mountain, he tried hard to forget Murong Hanyan. However, the two of them had once lived and died together under an avalanche. How could he simply treat it as a chance encounter and forget about it afterwards?

Now it involves Xiao Yunlei, the mysterious Flower Lord Yulu, the Beggars' Sect, and the Lu family...

Things are becoming more and more complicated, with more and more people entangled in various lines. It's really interesting!

The conversation in the room continued. The village girl pulled Yu Lu to sit on the edge of the bed. She pursed her lips to hold back her laughter, and pointed her green jade finger at Yu Lu's forehead. "You, you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. When the goddess fainted at the foot of the mountain, it was you who saved her!"

"If I had known that the master valued her so much, I would not have saved her!" Yu Lu muttered to herself, like a wronged child who had fallen out of favor.

The village girl couldn't help but shake her head and laugh when she saw Yu Lu acting like a child.

“You envy the goddess for being the only one favored by her, but how could you know that you flower masters, as the direct disciples of the palace master, are also the envy of us flower protectors.

Although you are only at the first-class level now, you have extraordinary talent and have been taught by the Palace Master. Your future achievements are limitless. Unlike us, we have exhausted our potential early and have no chance of further progress! "

All the flower protectors are great masters who have leapt straight from the first-rate to the top, but they use their own potential and lifespan as a guide, and take secret medicine, and then use magic power to stimulate, to forcibly open up the twelve main meridians and twelve collateral meridians in the body. After escaping death nine times, the one who survives will be the top of the world who surpasses the first-rate.

However, from then on, the eight extraordinary meridians in his body were blocked and he could no longer improve his skills.

Yu Lu was originally angry that the goddess had taken away her favor, but when she heard Hong Mei's words, she couldn't help but feel sad, "Do you blame my master?"

To be able to become a flower protector, one must be a person of strong character and loyalty. Hong Mei was also inspired. Seeing Yu Lu asking this, she could not help but say solemnly: "If it weren't for the Palace Master, I would have died long ago. How could I have grown up and killed my enemies?"

"Hong Mei has always been grateful for the kindness of the Palace Master in raising me and teaching me. Although I envy you Flower Master, we Flower Protectors are also envied by the ordinary disciples of Chi Hao, You Xuan and other sects!"

"That's true!"

Yu Lu stretched out her fingers and gently stroked Xiao Yunlei's delicate face, causing Xiao Yunlei to wave his little hands and wipe his face from time to time.

"Are you used to living here? Did they treat you lightly when you hid your skills and pretended to be a village woman?" Yu Lu asked again.
