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

"Behave yourselves. Just come with us to the government office and confess the crimes you've committed over the years. Maybe then you'll suffer less."

"See this guy next to me?" Yue Zijin pointed with his thumb to Pei Yunlian beside him. "See that sword in his hand? The Tiger-Faced Overlord, ranked third on the Jianghu bounty list, was killed by this man."

"If you harbor any other intentions... the consequences... are predictable."

Yue Zijin held a rope in his hand, with three or five people tied up like a pretzel behind him. He turned around and smiled sinisterly, which startled some of them.

"You little rascal, you're always bragging! Everyone, don't listen to his nonsense. When the village chief comes back, these guys won't be able to do anything to us!"

One of the bound men shouted sternly. Yue Zi turned around and saw that it was indeed Su Gui, who had been caught kidnapping people earlier.

Perhaps it was because there was strength in numbers, Su Gui had lost his initial panic and even had the leisure to incite everyone to do something.

"Bang--"

"Ouch, my butt! You ignorant brat!"

Su Gui clutched his buttocks and cried out repeatedly.

The boy stretched out his long leg and kicked Su Gui in the butt, sending him sprawling face-first into the mud.

He stretched his long arms behind his head, then glanced at the others one by one, his voice not loud but inexplicably threatening: "Are you going to cause trouble again?"

The group looked at each other, and in the end, no one spoke.

One of them struggled to help Su Gui up and whispered, "Don't provoke him anymore."

Su Gui was seething with anger, but dared not speak out.

Pei Yunlian stood aside and watched without saying a word. There was really no need to be too gentle with these people.

Meanwhile, after dealing with Su Youde and his son, You Xunchun reappeared by Tangxi's side as if nothing had happened.

Sujia Village wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either, with about a hundred people. So, when Su Youde rushed back, he naturally couldn't get the message out.

So for a time, no one knew the purpose of their trip.

Tangxi was traveling with You Xunchun, but the latter used his status to his advantage and acted alone, which was more effective. Tangxi didn't mind, or rather, she had a natural trust in You Xunchun.

Upon seeing You Xunchun, she immediately went to greet him.

"Brother You, I've secretly investigated, and sure enough, other women have been smuggled away these past few days."

"I really can't imagine that Miss Su would grow up in a village like this."

Tang Xi clenched her fists, a hint of anger flashing across her fair face.

"Yue Zijin and Pei Yunlian have been gone for so long, they should have almost completed their mission. Let's go back and meet up with them."

"Although the imperial court is becoming increasingly absurd, it still has a solid foundation. These people should be handed over to them to deal with."

You Xunchun said calmly, "Although Tangxi is angry, she already knows that this is not something they can control."

When the two went to Su Ning's house, they happened to run into Yue Zijin and Pei Yunlian, who were returning together.

Behind them were mostly people they had seen before.

Su Gui was initially indignant, but when he saw Tang Xi's intimidating face, he was reminded of the scene he had witnessed that day, and he couldn't help but shudder.

buckle -

Yue Zi gently knocks on the door.

"Miss Su, we're back!"

Snapped--

A soft slap landed on the boy's back, but Yue Zijin turned around and exaggeratedly said, "Miss Tang, are you trying to kill me?"

Just then, the door opened, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor.

When Su Ning woke up in bed, she knew that someone must have sneaked over without her noticing.

However, Xiao Qi was in hibernation at the moment, so she didn't know who it was.

However, she looked up at the four people in front of her.

It was undoubtedly one of the main characters. Her gaze instinctively fell on the doctor, but she received only a calm look in return.

She smiled slightly, then spoke to Yue Zijin in front of her: "Young Master Yue, you're back."

Yue Zijin casually sat down in the courtyard and poured himself a cup of tea: "Miss Su, we've brought the person here for you. If you're ready, we'll set off now."

Su Ning sat down with the other three, then shook her head: "I'm an orphan, and since my grandfather passed away, I don't have much to pack."

She didn't take any of the things that Old Man Su left for Su Ning, and she even used the money she had saved over the years to pay for Old Man Su's funeral.

The bundle contained only some loose silver and clothes.

If it weren't for maintaining her public image, she wouldn't even want to carry this burden.

After resting for a while, the group decided to return to Luoyun City.

The person who was tied up had already been gagged and was tied to a tree outside the door.

Just as Su Ning was about to get into the carriage, she saw Yue Zijin walking over hesitantly. Su Ning tilted her head slightly in confusion.

The young man then took out a beautifully wrapped veil from his chest and stammered, "Miss Su, the world is dangerous these days. You are so beautiful, please take this veil."

The boy's face was flushed with a youthful red, like the most brilliant sunrise in the twilight.

Su Ning took it and used it to cover her beautiful face: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Young Hero Yue. I've never traveled far before, so I'm not that particular about such things."

Yue Zijin scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, Miss Su, please don't call me Young Hero Yue. I've only traveled a bit further than you; I really can't be called a young hero."

"Yes, Miss Su, please call us by our names from now on, or you can call me Xixi."

Tangxi led her horse over and said, "Brother You is older than all of us, so you can call him Brother. As for Pei Yunlian, he's never been one for words. Even if you call him Ice Face like Yue Zijin does, I doubt he'll react much."

"Hey! Ice Face is my nickname for him, okay?" Yue Zijin muttered from the side.

Su Ning's lips, hidden beneath her veil, curved slightly. "It is Su Ning's blessing to travel with you all. Please don't call me 'Miss' anymore; just call me Su Ning."

After exchanging names, the group prepared to set off.

The carriage wasn't as luxurious as it looked in the TV series Su Ning had seen in her previous life.

Although small, it had all the essential parts, and I don't know who even laid out a soft cushion.

Su Ning lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the boy's unrestrained and flamboyant smile. Only at this time could one meet such an innocent protagonist.

She was thinking about the plot developments that would follow.

But then a voice came from afar: "My benefactor... my benefactor... wait for me!"

The woman's voice was sweet and clear, but perhaps because she had been running for too long, her breathing was unsteady and very labored.

You Xunchun gently pulled on the reins, and the carriage came to a stop.

The three people on horseback also stopped.

Xu Ling'er was panting heavily, and beads of sweat appeared on her fair cheeks.

Ignoring her exhaustion, she greeted the three riders with a smile as they stopped, "My benefactors, are you heading to Luoyun City?"

She looked up and asked the three men on horseback.

However, although there were three of them, they were really looking forward to whose answer. Tangxi and Yuezi exchanged a glance and could see the playfulness in each other's eyes.

Pei Yunlian pretended not to see his two mischievous friends winking at him right in front of his face.

He remained silent.

Xu Ling'er went from initial anticipation to some awkwardness before turning to Yue Zijin.

"Ahem, young lady, how did you manage to catch up with me?"

In fact, Yue Zijin did not intend to stop Pei Yunlian from blossoming into a beautiful woman; normally, he would have teased her quite a bit.

However, avenging Su Ning is the main task now, and it would be troublesome if the rescued girl caught up with them.

"My benefactors just saved me, and I haven't even had a chance to repay them yet."

Xu Ling'er had clearly tidied herself up; her green dress was charming and made her baby face even more adorable.

At this moment, she looked at Pei Yunlian with eyes full of admiration. If it were a normal man, he would probably have agreed to her request.

Inside the car, Su Ning lifted a corner of the curtain, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.

...Isn't Xu Ling'er the person who traveled with the main characters in Sujia Village in the original story?
