After infiltrating the main characters' group, I became the most beautiful woman in the world.

As soon as the group arrived at the entrance of the World's Rare Treasures, they spotted a familiar figure.

Amidst the bustling crowd, he stood with his hands behind his back under the eaves, his figure as sculpted as warm jade. His blue robe swayed gently in the night breeze, and his dark hair, like clouds, was held in place by a simple wooden hairpin, half-tied and half-loose, like a green bamboo standing quietly by the water, making one reluctant to disturb him.

"Brother You, are you alright?"

Yue Zijin was the first to rush forward, concerned for the young man in front of her.

You Xunchun then turned around to face the crowd, his voice gentle: "That poison demon merely broke in, seemingly trying to escape, and didn't do anything to us."

The first floor of the rare treasure building has been destroyed beyond recognition. The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Hall stationed in Lingzhou City are currently leading people to inspect the site and have brought many doctors to treat the people inside. They are constantly going in and out.

"Brother You, why do you look so pale? Were you frightened?"

Su Ning looked him over and asked what was on her mind.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xi observed the man before her and said with concern, "Yes, Brother You, you don't look well. Should I send someone to take you back to the manor?"

The man in blue simply shook his head, his demeanor unchanged. "It was just a bit windy at night, a little chilly, nothing to worry about."

Seeing his insistence, the group remained silent and went back into the world's rare treasures.

The bodies inside had been carried out, and the remaining injured were sitting on the spot receiving treatment. The managers of the once-exquisite treasures were all gathered together for questioning.

The person in the lead was none other than Cheng Yefu, the head of the Heavenly Sword Hall.

"Uncle Cheng? I thought you weren't coming." Tangxi stepped forward and asked.

The disciple following behind him first called out "Young Miss," and then Cheng Yefu slowly turned around to look at the girl in front of him. When he saw the scars on the girl's body, he sighed with some emotion, "Young Miss has grown up."

He had just learned that the Poison Demon was causing trouble in Lingzhou City, and wanted to go down the mountain immediately to capture the villain. Because the martial arts tournament was about to be held, he was transferred to the mountain for protection. Unexpectedly, nothing happened on the mountain, but something happened in Lingzhou City first.

But the manor lord stopped him, saying only, "Xi'er is in the city."

At that time, he knew that the manor lord was intentionally training the young lady, or rather, he believed that the young lady could handle this matter well.

He had watched Tangxi grow up, so naturally he was worried. But despite his worries, he couldn't disobey the manor lord's orders.

But as he expected, the poison demon was destroyed.

Tangxi felt unusually embarrassed by Cheng Yefu's praise, but she didn't take all the credit. "Hehe, Uncle Cheng, you flatter me. It's all thanks to Senior Brother Song's help."

Cheng Zhifu naturally knew that the help of Baihua Valley was indispensable, but Tangxi was just a teenager, and in his eyes, he was just a child. He dared to face the villain and successfully kill him, so his future achievements would surely be remarkable.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tangxi remembered the important matter and asked, "Didn't they say that the world's rare treasures are backed by powerful forces? How come the Poison Demon managed to break in today?"

Cheng Yefu glanced at the middle-aged man trembling with his head in his hands, and snorted coldly, "Go ask him yourself."

Then the middle-aged man raised his head, revealing himself to be the same person who had presided over the auction. Looking at the group, he realized he was now on someone else's turf and revealed what he knew:

"My surname is Wang, you can just call me Manager Wang. Although I am a manager, I don't know martial arts, I only do the paperwork for auctions. Logically speaking, no one should be able to break into our world's rare treasures."

Yue Zijin casually placed the knife across the table, a move that startled the man, who swallowed hard before continuing:

"Since you gentlemen are from the Sword Forging Manor, I won't hide anything. You should all know that our world's rare treasures are inextricably linked to the Ten-Mile Hanging Bell."

"We usually have a master here to oversee every auction, but for some reason, that master wasn't present today, which is why they sent people in and injured our guest."

Seeing the man trembling like a leaf, Su Ning knew that he certainly didn't know that the Poison Demon was related to Si Xiaoyun, or that he probably didn't even know that Si Xiaoyun was dead.

She didn't listen to what was to come, but instead casually found a whole chair and sat down.

Pei Yunlian noticed her movements and quickly asked with concern, "Are you tired? Do you need me to take you home first?"

"I'm fine. I can't help with those things anyway, so I'll just rest here and wait for you," Su Ning said gently, gesturing for him to go back.

Seeing this, Pei Yunlian had no choice but to reluctantly turn back.

Su Ning looked at the nanmu box she had placed aside. Just as she was about to open it to see the clothes inside, she saw a gentleman dressed in white descending the stairs.

Song Hengxue noticed her gaze, paused slightly, and looked up. Her eyes were extremely clear, like obsidian immersed in a stream, clear and deep, as if they could see into people's hearts.

He was handsome with delicate features, and when he got closer, Su Ning could even smell a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance emanating from him.

Unlike the noble, cold plum fragrance on Lou Xianyue, or the herbal scent on You Xunchun, it carries a faint warmth, and is like the fresh fragrance after a snowfall.

"Miss Su," his voice was gentle, like a mountain spring flowing over blue stones, "when the Poison Demon broke into the world's rare treasures, Miss Su should be unharmed, right?"

Then his gaze shifted to the nanmu box in Su Ning's hand. This box...

Su Ning noticed his scrutiny but pretended not to notice and asked, "Young Master Song, did you come down from upstairs? I just heard from Xi Xi that a murder occurred on the fourth floor of the World's Most Precious Treasures. Have you made a decision, Young Master?"

Song Hengxue pondered for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "I have already sent people to identify the deceased. She was the most beautiful courtesan in the capital, named Si Xiaoyun. She had traces of the Poison Demon on her body, but whether it was the Poison Demon who killed her is still up for debate."

Su Ning understood, and then Song Hengxue asked, looking at the nanmu box, "Forgive my rudeness... When did Young Master Lou give you this box?"

She didn't respond immediately, but tilted her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. "Young Master Song... how did you know this was a gift from Young Master Lou?"

Song Hengxue was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had misunderstood, and quickly apologized, her voice extremely soft and gentle: "It wasn't that I intentionally pried into your privacy, young lady; I just accidentally saw Young Master Lou holding this nanmu box."

He didn't say the rest, after all, it was immoral to slander others in front of them. Although Young Master Lou was morally flawed, it was not something he could comment on.

Looking into Miss Su's bewildered eyes, he still wanted to remind her for a moment. He had no right to question the Lou family's family traditions, but reminding Miss Su not to be fooled should not be too much to ask, right?

After all, when he came down from the fourth floor, he saw with his own eyes what Lou Xianyue was doing to a strange woman. How could such a wanton and dissolute person be a good match for Miss Su?
