Chapter 544 The Martial Arts Tournament is to be held ahead of schedule
Hearing the sounds coming from inside, everyone was stunned. Yuwen Ze even reached out and covered Yuwen Tianle's ears.
After a long pause, Fu Xiuyu pointed to the tightly closed door and stammered.
"My God, Yuwen Xiao... he actually... has homosexual tendencies?! And... he's a virgin..."
Before he could finish speaking, he received a light slap on the back of the head from Fu Wenzhu. The force was not great, but it carried a strong warning.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The other person glared at him irritably and quickly lowered their voice, afraid that the people inside the room would hear.
"Yuwen Xiao is a woman disguised as a man! She and Yuwen Cheng are actually husband and wife, but they are temporarily using the identity of fellow disciples to cover their tracks!"
"Huh? A woman... a woman?"
Fu Xiuyu covered the back of his head, looking bewildered, and muttered to himself.
"But she... she's usually even more imposing and domineering than me. Her aura, her skills... who would guess she's a girl..."
He recalled Yuwen Xiao's sharp eyes and imposing aura, and found it hard to associate that tough, iron-willed man with the word "woman".
At this moment, Lu Wangyou also suddenly realized something. He turned to look at Yuwen Ze beside him, his eyes full of understanding.
"No wonder Master Yuwen always asked me to take his pulse through a thick curtain. It turns out that I was actually taking the pulse of Senior Yuwen Cheng before?"
"Sigh, it's all because my dad is so eager to have a child."
Yuwen Ze scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment, and explained in a low voice.
“Over the years, apart from me and Ayi, no matter how hard he tried, it was no use. My mother said that she was definitely fine, so he thought of having Dr. Lu take a look to see if there was something wrong with her body.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiuyu's eyes immediately lit up, and he instantly came up with an idea.
He sneakily approached Lu Wangyou and asked in a low voice.
"Little Forget-Me-Not, tell me honestly, does Yuwen Cheng have any health problems?"
Lu Wangyou shook her head and said with certainty.
"Senior Yuwen Cheng is in excellent health, with abundant qi and blood, and has no hidden ailments."
"Is Yuwen Cheng alright?"
Fu Xiuyu's eyes lit up, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Then it seems the problem most likely lies with Yuwen Xiao!"
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together and quickly moved closer to Bai Yue, his tone somewhat ingratiating.
"Um... Xiaoyue, look... that Kunyuan Ruicao you promised me before... hehe, can I have it now?"
"Yes, don't worry, I'm ready."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yue smiled knowingly. She turned and walked to the stone table, reached behind her back, and as if by magic, produced a very ordinary-looking coarse cloth bag.
She deftly untied the drawstring with her fingertips and gently tilted the bag upside down.
In an instant, dozens of rare herbs with crimson tips rolled out of the bag, spreading across the bluestone slab and emitting a faint fragrance.
"Hiss—so many?!"
Fu Xiuyu stared at the mountain of Kunyuan Ruicao on the stone table. His eyes widened instantly, his pupils filled with wild joy. He was so excited that his hands trembled slightly, and he wished he could rush over and hug these treasures to his arms immediately.
Even though Fu Wenzhu had lived most of her life and was very knowledgeable, she couldn't help but be astonished as she rushed to the table and carefully picked up a plant to examine it closely.
"That's right! This is the Kunyuan Ruicao! This is an immense blessing for women, nourishing the uterus, revitalizing life, and harmonizing qi and blood. Legend has it that even women who are born with deficiencies or have been damaged later in life and are deemed unable to conceive, have a very high chance of bearing children if they receive careful care from this herb!"
His words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a huge uproar in the courtyard!
Ming Jingxing reacted the fastest. He flashed to the table almost instantly, his eyes burning as he looked at Shen Xingmian behind him, his eyes surging with barely suppressed excitement.
"Xingmian! Can you hear me? Although you have never had a child of your own in this life, with this herb, perhaps we..."
"Cough cough!"
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Wenzhu blushed at Ming Jingxing's undisguised eagerness and interrupted him irritably.
"Old Ming! How old are you? You're practically half-buried, and you're still thinking about all this nonsense? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the younger generation!"
Shen Xingmian blushed deeply at Ming Jingxing's blunt and bold words, and quickly lowered her head in embarrassment, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, her heart pounding like a drum.
Yet, deep in her heart, a faint, indescribable expectation rose up. She glanced up at the pile of Kunyuan Ruicao (a type of medicinal herb) and then quickly lowered her head again.
On the other side, when Madam Xue heard that this herb had such miraculous effects, her eyes lit up instantly. She immediately rubbed her hands together and was about to rush to the table, saying urgently.
"Brother Fu! Please share some of this grass with me, my baby needs some too..."
"Madam Xue! You better behave yourself!"
The Yaksha was both ashamed and angry. She smacked him on the head again with her fan without any politeness. The force was not great, but it was full of intimidation, effectively silencing him from saying anything more.
"What nonsense are you spouting in front of so many juniors!"
The courtyard was instantly enveloped in an ambiguous and intertwined atmosphere because of this pile of auspicious herbs.
At this moment, Yuwen Yi also approached Bai Yue and spoke with an expectant look on his face.
"Wife, do you still have a lot of this herb? Why don't we try it tonight..."
"I also have some herb here that can turn men into women. How about I let you try it tonight..."
Before Bai Yue could finish speaking, a loud eagle cry suddenly came from the sky!
The sound was sharp and piercing, with extremely strong penetrating power, instantly drowning out the noise in the courtyard.
Everyone looked up and saw a magnificent black eagle land steadily on Mo Qingyan's outstretched arm, like an arrow released from a bow.
The other person skillfully removed the small letter tube tied to the eagle's leg, deftly pulled out the rolled-up paper inside, quickly unfolded it, and scanned the writing on it with their eyes.
However, as she read word by word, her previously smiling expression suddenly changed, and her brows furrowed tightly.
Bai Yue keenly sensed the change in her aura and immediately stepped forward, asking with concern.
"Grandma Mo, what's wrong? What did the letter say? Has something happened?"
Mo Qingyan sighed, his voice carrying an undisguised solemnity that clearly echoed throughout the suddenly quiet courtyard.
"This is an urgent message from Sijin. They say something big has happened at Zixiao Temple, so the martial arts tournament will have to be held ahead of schedule."
"Something terrible has happened at Zixiao Temple?"
Upon hearing Mo Qingyan's words, Bai Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her gaze to Ling Xuzi, who remained unresponsive.
"Is Master Yinian thinking of his troublesome disciple? Is he planning to mobilize all the martial arts world to come after him?"
Just as Bai Yue was lost in thought, Yuwen Yi reached out and turned Bai Yue's face towards him, making her look at him.
"Wife, why are you looking at this person if you have nothing better to do?"
Then, as if he had thought of something terrible, he muttered something in a wronged tone.
"You don't think I'm not good enough, so you want to try that Kunyuan Ruicao with this guy, do you?"
