Chu Qinghe said slowly, "Reputation can be built up. Otherwise, where would the saying 'having only a hollow reputation' come from?"

After speaking, Chu Qinghe shifted his gaze to the distant location of Shuimu Yinji and Murong Longcheng.

A battle involving both Celestial Realm and Grandmaster Realm warriors would naturally cause quite a stir.

Furthermore, the group was not in the noisy sea, but in the tranquil Taihu Lake.

Naturally, upon noticing the commotion emanating from the ongoing battle on deck, the other people in the shipyard rushed out of their cabins.

But for ordinary people like these, how could they possibly see the battle taking place on the two positions on the deck?

Even after coming out of the cabin, all you could hear were these sounds.

Perhaps it was because there were too many people, or perhaps she had confirmed Murong Fu's strength, but Lianxing had already lost interest in continuing the game.

When Lianxing pulled Murong Fu in front of her again, she struck out with her palm, and a surge of Flying Immortal Sword Intent instantly erupted.

"Sword intent?"

Sensing the unique aura emanating from Lianxing, Murong Fu was startled, and his face turned pale instantly.

As a large amount of true energy poured out, Lianxing raised her fair, slender hand and quickly slapped towards Murong Fu's chest.

The true energy, as white as jade, appeared and disappeared in an instant, making Lianxing's hands look like real white jade.

But Murong Fu knew that this unusual phenomenon was a manifestation of true energy condensing to its extreme.

As the palm struck out, the fierce sword energy and palm force directly broke the long sword that Murong Fu was holding in front of him. After a slight pause, the palm continued to strike Murong Fu's chest, breaking through the true energy gathered in front of Murong Fu with a fierce feeling before landing on Murong Fu's chest.

The powerful force instantly sent Murong Fu flying backward.

When he fell onto the deck, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

His once handsome face instantly turned ashen, like tin foil, and he became completely listless.

At this point, Lianxing finally curled her lip and said, "All show and no substance."

At the same time, Wang Yuyan, who had just emerged from the cabin, looked at Murong Fu on the ground and exclaimed in surprise, "Cousin?"

Hearing the voice from behind, Lianxing, who was originally standing in front of Murong Fu, couldn't help but turn her head to look at Wang Yuyan.

However, just as Lianxing turned her head, Chu Qinghe lightly raised his finger, and a burst of energy landed directly on Lianxing's smooth forehead.

It felt like I'd been flicked on the forehead.

As Lianxing cried out in pain, Chu Qinghe's voice slowly rang out.

"The person isn't even dead, and you're already getting distracted and losing focus. Do you have a death wish?"

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Lianxing touched her forehead and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Isn't it because my brother-in-law is here? What's there to be afraid of?"

Hearing Lianxing's answer, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I can't be distracted while I'm here; what if I don't notice either?"

Upon hearing this, Lianxing pouted and said "Oh".

On the other side, Murong Longcheng, who was in mid-air, clearly heard Murong Fu's scream and Wang Yuyan's exclamation. He couldn't help but quickly glance at Murong Fu.

When Murong Longcheng saw Murong Fu lying on the ground with blood around his mouth, his expression changed.

After letting out a low roar, he forcibly circulated his true energy and met the attack head-on with the Water Mother Yin Ji.

This time, however, Murong Longcheng did not use the "Shifting Stars" technique to completely remove the palm force and sword intent that rushed into his body as before. Instead, he only removed the sword intent, allowing the palm force from Shui Mu Yin Ji's palm to enter his body and cause some internal injuries. Then, he used the energy contained in the palm to withdraw and rushed onto the deck.

Noticing Murong Longcheng's movement, Chu Qinghe stopped waving his folding fan, which had been gently waving, and as he circulated his true energy, his gaze also fell on Murong Longcheng.

The next instant, as Murong Longcheng landed in front of Murong Fu, he grabbed Murong Fu's shoulder with one hand and pulled him up, while simultaneously smashing a walnut-sized bottle on the ground with his other hand.

The moment the bottle hit the ground, Lianxing, who had been on high alert, suddenly felt a pulling force tugging at her.

Upon noticing the suction force, Lianxing immediately became alert.

But when she realized that the suction force was coming from Chu Qinghe, Lianxing's eyes lit up, and she gave up resisting without even thinking.

He even compressed all the true energy in his body into his dantian.

And things turned out exactly as Lianxing had predicted.

Chu Qinghe clearly did not expect that Lianxing would suddenly withdraw all her true energy into her dantian at this critical moment. Under the suction force created by the "Transferring Flowers and Jade" technique, Lianxing, who should have been pulled in front of him, actually fell directly into Chu Qinghe's arms.

The moment Lianxing felt her back collide with Chu Qinghe's chest, she felt as if her heart had been hit hard as well.

She couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" in her heart, a surge of shyness, excitement, and joy welling up from her heart and flowing throughout her body.

Her ears turned red instantly.

At this moment, Lianxing had already forgotten all about Murong Fu and Murong Longcheng.

In Lianxing's mind, only one thought remained.

"My brother-in-law hugged me!"
