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

After leaving Tian Shu Pavilion, the evening breeze tinkled the copper bells on the eaves and rustled the bamboo planted nearby. The four of them walked quietly, with Yue Zijin walking at the front, his steps as swift as the wind, without uttering a sound.

Suddenly, the boy stood up straight, and Su Ning and the other two stopped in their tracks.

But then Yue Zi turned around and gave a smile, "Such a big thing happened tonight, I need to practice my sword skills and work up a sweat. You guys can go now."

After saying that, the young man walked away quickly, his clothes brushing against the bluestone path, stirring up a wisp of wind.

Without needing Su Ning and the other two to remind her, Pei Yunlian had already followed on her own, her tone cool and aloof yet reassuring, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."

Su Ning was being led by the hand by Tang Xi, and the two were thinking about what to do that night.

But outside, they saw Xiaomei, Xiaoqin, and a group of people behind them.

"Why are you here?"

Tangxi looked at the two of them, and the large group of people following behind them, with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Qin gave their young mistress an embarrassed smile, "We were just worried about the young lady's health!"

Hearing the two of them expose her without hesitation, Su Ning's eyes showed a slight hint of guilt. Just as she was about to sneak away, Tang Xi grabbed her wrist. "What's wrong with your body?"

Xiao Mei and Xiao Qin, standing to the side, seemed puzzled. Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two, Xiao Mei instinctively said, "Miss, didn't you tell Miss that she was bitten by a snake?"

Xiao Mei, being simple-minded, hadn't yet grasped the threatening look in Su Ning's eyes. She only noticed that the girl kept winking at her, and thought it was so beautiful, even more beautiful than the stars in the sky.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiaomei finished speaking, Tangxi frowned and even raised her voice, "What? Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me from the beginning?"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Su Ning broke free from Tang Xi's grasp without a second thought, then took a few steps back. "Xi Xi, let me explain."

Tangxi's gaze was truly terrifying, but Su Ning was already in a hurry to break free. She stumbled and stepped on the hem of her skirt, thinking she was about to have a close encounter with the ground.

But suddenly I bumped into a cool and refreshing embrace.

The Taoist robe was made of a clean, slightly cool fabric with a faint, refreshing fragrance. The man gently supported her lower back, and when Su Ning looked up, she met a pair of clear, moon-like eyes.

The young Taoist priest also looked down at her. His eyebrows and eyes were as cold as jade, and he was untouched by worldly dust. However, if you looked closely, you could see the subtle gentleness hidden beneath his surface.

Lin Ci leaned down slightly and steadily held the person in her arms.

The maids and servants behind Tangxi, upon witnessing this scene that resembled that of a divine couple, reacted not with admiration, but with jealousy.

The boy's well-defined hands were now wrapped around the girl's waist, and everyone's eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Everyone's thought was: Let go of Miss Su and let me have her!

Tang Xi, still frowning, greeted the other party, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for your assistance to my Sword Forging Manor tonight."

"But...shouldn't you put your hand down?"

Tangxi also found Lin Ci's hands very annoying. Since the people from Taihang Temple saved them, she would go and thank them. Lin Ci was the first to arrive at the Sword Forging Manor, and her father would go and thank them.

It has nothing to do with Su Su.

Why has this person's attitude changed so drastically since we parted ways at Xiaguang Mountain?

Upon hearing this, Su Ning's eyes darted around. Before Lin Ci could even speak, she hid behind him, clutching his clothes with her fingers, revealing only her fluffy head. "Xi Xi, I... I forgot to tell you."

"The Taoist priest Lin just saved my life, and I haven't properly thanked him yet."

After saying that, she nudged the young Taoist priest in the lower back, signaling him to continue the conversation.

Lin Ci felt the other person's fingertips touching his body. It was just a simple touch, and there was a layer of clothing between them, but it made him freeze and not know what to do.

He looked down at Tang Xi, seemingly oblivious to the displeasure in her eyes, and said calmly, "I do have something to say to Miss Su. It's late tonight, Miss Tang, you're injured, so you should go back and rest."

"I will bring Miss Su back."

Tang Xi glanced hesitantly at Lin Ci, then turned to look at Su Ning, who was hiding behind him. Seeing Su Ning nodding vigorously, Tang Xi could only say helplessly, "In that case, thank you very much, Daoist Master."

Tangxi naturally wouldn't interfere with Su Ning's friendships. In her opinion, not to mention Lin Ci, there should be several more fine young men from the martial arts world for Su Ning to choose from.

Furthermore, he didn't believe that the Taoist priests of Taihang Temple could really do anything to Su Ning.

Seeing that Tang Xi agreed, Su Ning came out from behind Lin Ci. Seeing that Tang Xi was still breathing, Su Ning used her ultimate move - the art of acting cute.

A woman who knows how to be charming has nothing to worry about.

She reached out and gently tugged at Tangxi's sleeve, her fingertips applying slight pressure, and leaned close to her, her manner somewhat clingy. "Good Xixi, don't believe what Xiaomei and Xiaoqin say. I'll talk to you about it when we get back."

Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of coquettish nasal tone. Despite her stunning beauty, she was so charmingly naive that no one could get angry with her.

Tangxi was already helpless against Su Ning, and seeing her looking like such a femme fatale, even her anger dissipated.

All he could do was pinch the other person's cheek and say, "Come back soon."

Having dealt with Tangxi, Su Ning began to settle accounts with the 'traitor'.

First, he glared fiercely at Xiaomei, who had complained, and then spoke gently to Xiaoqin beside him, "Quickly bring me my things."

Xiaoqin handed over the cloth bag, and received a smile from Miss Su in return, "Well done."

Xiao Mei, who was watching from the side, was quite envious, but Miss Su had just glanced at her, and hehe, she was happy too.

After bidding farewell to everyone at Red Maple Garden, Su Ning left with Xiao Bubao and Lin Ci.

Seeing this, Tangxi could only shake her head, "A daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home."

……

Lin Ci had no idea what the girl in front of him was going to do, but he followed her closely.

During her time at the Sword Forging Manor, Su Ning had thoroughly studied the map.

The villa was quiet at the moment, and it was unclear whether everyone had gone to Tian Shu Pavilion.

Within the Sword Casting Manor lies a place called Listening to the Pines Pavilion, a spot for enjoying the scenery in spring and admiring the snow in winter.

Today the sky is clear and bright, the night is like a piece of cool, dark satin, with a few scattered stars on it, and the bright moonlight shines everywhere, even coating the giant sword-shaped stone wall with a layer of soft silver frost.

At that moment, Su Ning pointed to the eaves of Tingsong Pavilion, turned around and smiled, "Little Taoist priest, I want to go up there."
