Martial Arts Crossover: That night, Huang Rong descended from the sky.

Chapter 301: Bai Suzhen: Down with the Dog Emperor

First, we encountered a large white snake. The snake went into the river, and we swam along the river. Then we met a person who called herself Bai Suzhen. How could it be such a coincidence?

This is clearly a setup!

Is it a trap?

But Li Ping didn't sense any malice from the group.

I've already reached the stage of Spiritual Return to Emptiness, so while my spiritual senses aren't as sharp as Lang Fanyun's, they're not so close that I can't even sense whether others are hostile towards me.

Could it be like the time I met Yuan Suiyun before?

Are they being manipulated by someone behind the scenes?

Within the online community, the situation has also become extremely heated.

Yang Guo: "How is this possible? This is definitely my aunt, how could this be Bai Suzhen?"

"Isn't Bai Suzhen a story that Brother Li made up?"

Chu Liuxiang: "They are definitely them. They may have encountered some kind of misfortune, or they may have encountered some kind of supernatural power, just like those who were controlled by the Formless Celestial Maiden before!"

"Or perhaps, like Yuan Suiyun, these people are actually puppets? Substitutes?"

Chu Liuxiang was still worried about his girls, but he had regained his composure and started analyzing the problem. He and Yang Guo had already sped up and were heading this way.

Li Ping: "But if this is a trap, if they are substitutes or puppets, or if they are under some kind of supernatural power, why not just tell me that they are Li Hongxiu, the Little Dragon Girl?"

"Why deliberately leave such a huge flaw?"

"And I couldn't sense any malice from them at all."

Chu Liuxiang: "Brother Li, please follow them and keep them calm. If they show no hostility and do not intend to harm you, please do not attack them. I will investigate everything!"

Yang Guo: "I will come too. Please, Uncle Li, do not harm my aunt."

Goodness, he even called him Uncle Li.

Li Ping: "I'm so heartbroken. Do you think I'm some kind of murderous monster?"

"Would I randomly kill someone without understanding anything?"

"I know they are important people to you, don't worry, I won't hurt them."

Li Ping almost took action directly just now, intending to capture these people first and wait for Chu Liuxiang and the others to arrive.

But then I thought, if they really were under someone's spell or being controlled, it might cause the person behind it to take extreme actions.

So they didn't make a move!

He sniffed carefully, but couldn't smell gunpowder.

Ever since he was bombed by Yuan Suiyun that time, he has been very careful. If there is gunpowder on this ship, he will definitely be able to smell it with his five senses.

If he had gunpowder, he would have acted immediately; since he didn't, he would have waited and see how things went.

Bai Suzhen, who looked exactly like Little Dragon Girl, stared blankly at Li Ping, somewhat bewildered: "Hero Li?"

Li Ping shifted his attention away from the mental network: "Oh, sorry, you look a lot like an old friend of mine."

From afar, Song Tian'er muttered to herself, "Why do they say every pretty girl looks like someone they know?"

"Master Li is too much of a womanizer; Lady Huang is still by his side..."

Li Ping's face fell. "Don't you know how good my hearing is?"

What do you think of me?

Am I that kind of person?

I'm only giving Chu Liuxiang face because you're his sister; otherwise, I would definitely have dealt with you!

Li Ping scrutinized Bai Suzhen carefully but still couldn't detect any sign of disguise: "But your Tianxiang Hall sells perfumes and rouge, what kind of cooperation are you going to the Tang Clan for?"

Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Since the Tang Clan can produce the best poison in the world, they can naturally produce the best perfume in the world."

Li Ping nodded: "That seems to make some sense; we're both involved in chemistry..."

Bai Suzhen asked in surprise, "What is chemistry?"

Li Ping: "For example, what changes occur when wood is burned? What does the wood transform into when it's burning?"

Bai Suzhen's eyes lit up: "It sounds like a very profound subject... Turning the page opens up another world. Would you be willing to tell me about it, Master Li?"

Li Ping looked at Huang Rong, who smiled and said, "Then you talk to Miss Bai first, and I'll go talk to Tian'er and the others."

Li Ping gave her a look, telling her to be careful.

Huang Rong smiled slightly, indicating that she knew.

Afterwards, Li Ping followed Bai Suzhen into the living room, where Bai Suzhen personally served him fragrant tea.

Li Ping took a sip of the tea he was served, and when he realized something was wrong, he swallowed a "poison-repelling pill" so he wouldn't be afraid of being poisoned.

Bai Suzhen asked with anticipation, "May I ask, Master Li, what exactly is chemistry?"

Then, a hint of apology appeared on her face. "I'm in the perfume business. If I knew these things, I might be able to make better perfumes."

"If Master Li is willing to teach me, I'm willing to give him a share of the profits!"

"Then there's no need!" Li Ping put down his teacup, looked into her eyes, and said, "Chemistry is the study of changes in matter..."

He gave a rough explanation of chemistry, which made Bai Suzhen's eyes light up: "So those Taoist priests' alchemy is actually just chemistry?"

"If you understand chemistry, could you refine gold?"

Li Ping shook his head: "Yes, it's very difficult, because the conditions for gold to be formed are extremely demanding!"

"It can only be born from a supernova explosion or a neutron star collision."

He then explained what a star, a supernova explosion, and a neutron star are.

Bai Suzhen was stunned. She compared these things with the knowledge she had learned and found that they did not seem fake!

She exclaimed in amazement, "I never imagined that Brother Li would possess such profound knowledge. Even the Director of the Imperial Observatory must be no match for Brother Li."

"Although the Imperial Observatory has observed supernova explosions, it only knows that they happened, but not why they occurred!"

Li Ping shook his head: "They are actually very capable, but I stand on the shoulders of giants and happen to know some things they don't."

Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Brother Li is too modest. May I ask what your views are on the imperial court?"

Li Ping blinked: "What do you think? Hmm, it's alright."

Anyway, everything Li Ping saw was alright.

Contrary to his imagination, ordinary people in ancient times did not eat only two meals a day and consumed only chaff and thin gruel.

Ordinary people can eat meat every few days, and they eat it three times a day, mostly dry meat.

In ancient times, wouldn't this be enough?

Bai Suzhen was slightly disappointed: "So Brother Li's standards are that low?"

"Brother Li, can't you see those corrupt officials exploiting the people and oppressing them?"

Li Ping gave a wry smile: "Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that anyone who embezzled 60 taels of silver would be skinned alive, but that didn't stop embezzlement."

Bai Suzhen snorted: "Is it possible that the emperor is the source of all the problems?"

"The emperor is the biggest bloodsucker, crawling on the bodies of all the people and sucking their blood and sweat!"

Li Ping was stunned. He stared blankly at Bai Suzhen, then suddenly said, "Imperial Jade Liquor..."

Bai Suzhen blinked, puzzled.

Li Ping continued, "Odd changes, even remains the same..."

Bai Suzhen was even more confused.

Li Ping continued, "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon..."

Bai Suzhen was completely bewildered: "No, Brother Li, what are you talking about?"

Li Ping rubbed his temples. So he wasn't a time traveler?

Good heavens, no wonder some people say that during the Ming Dynasty, various schools of thought were actually beginning to emerge.

I can't believe they even have this kind of thinking!

I'm so ignorant.

Just then, a servant announced that the meal was ready!

Bai Suzhen said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I sometimes tend to overthink things!"

"Please, Brother Li, move to the main hall!"

The two left the living room, and Li Ping saw that Huang Rong, Su Rongrong, and the other two were chatting happily!

He immediately sent a telepathic message to Huang Rong: "How is it?"
