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

"What did Brother You say?" Su Ning pretended not to understand.

Just when Su Ning thought the man would be exposed today, he suddenly released her wrist and turned around as if nothing had happened.

"You don't have a cold, you've just been poisoned by the Green Scale Snake... Did you go to the back mountain?" You Xunchun came to the table, sorting through the herbs with his fingertips, making it impossible to see his expression.

Su Ning rubbed her wrist and answered truthfully, "I was just playing around; who knew there would be snakes in the back mountain?"

The person seemed to give a soft hum, but ultimately returned to their previous gentle yet somewhat aloof demeanor.

If it weren't for the red marks still visible on Su Ning's wrist, she would have doubted that anything had just happened.

You Xunchun's hands moved swiftly, and in no time he had ground several medicinal herbs into powder, placed them in a porcelain bottle, and handed it to the other person, saying, "The poison in your body has been almost completely neutralized."

"Take this powder home and apply it to the wound; it won't leave a scar."

Su Ning took it, intending to check his temperature again, but he quietly defused the attempt and she didn't get a chance to touch his hand.

Holding the porcelain bottle, he could only thank him, saying, "Then thank you, Brother You."

Su Ning scanned the room again, but the other party was too well hidden, and she couldn't find anything suspicious. Even the smell of blood had faded considerably.

"Brother You, are you really not coming with us?"

But You Xunchun gave her a meaningful look and said, "I'm really not feeling well today. Once I'm feeling better, I'll definitely go to the martial arts tournament."

Since they had already said that, Su Ning couldn't force them, so she had no choice but to take her leave. But just as she reached the door, she turned back, a smile playing on her lips, "Xi Xi and I are waiting for Brother You."

The door had just been pushed open, revealing a glimpse of a moon-white skirt, when the two people sitting in the moonlight went straight to greet them.

Yue Zijin seemed to want to sneak a peek inside, but as soon as Su Ning came out, the door was slammed shut without mercy.

He could only ask Su Ning with concern, "Is Brother You alright?"

"And Su Su, you just lied to Brother You, but he didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Su Ning looked at the two people and saw that their eyes were clear and they didn't think much of it, which showed that You Xunchun's ideal of being a virtuous gentleman had been deeply rooted in their hearts.

Unless You Xunchun commits murder and arson in front of them—no, or even murder and arson—Yue Zijin, with his dim-witted mind, still has to try to find a way to cover for the other party.

But it's not their fault. Their opponent was highly skilled, and they were just newbies in the martial arts world. How could they possibly compare to him?

"What could Brother You possibly do to me? Are you going to beat me up?"

Su Ning gave him a playful, sidelong glance. "Let's go visit that Mr. Duan Shui."

Yue Zijin touched his nose, then glanced back at the tightly closed door. "No wonder she's Su Su. She can lie right under Brother You's nose and still come out unscathed."

He remembered when he first met Brother You, the latter was treating someone. Brother You was handsome, with an extremely refined and elegant appearance. A fleeting glance from him was as refreshing as a spring breeze.

It stood out prominently in the bustling city at the time.

Many women flirted with him, while men scoffed at him.

He seemed oblivious, focusing solely on the task at hand.

Later, a group of thugs set their sights on him. They first robbed him, forcing him to hand over all his silver. But they weren't satisfied and even plotted to sell Brother You to human traffickers.

At that time, Tangxi had just found him and started talking about grand principles, telling him to go back with her.

Yue Zijin naturally ignored her completely.

Therefore, the two distrusted each other, and they could never agree on anything.

However, seeing injustice on the road, they drew their swords to help, and the two suddenly stumbled upon this matter, and their thoughts on saving people were surprisingly the same.

I never expected that the gang of robbers would be no match for Brother Shangyou alone.

It was then that he realized that in the world of martial arts, skill is not necessarily the most important thing; the most important thing is one's brain.

After getting to know them, Brother You told them about the incident. He had already bribed the waiter who served the bandits lunch and secretly put some drugs in their food.

The effects of the poison wouldn't take effect immediately; just as the bandits came knocking, the poison would activate, causing them excruciating abdominal pain, and ultimately leading to their utter death without any chance of resistance.

Why would the waiter help Brother You?

Nonsense. Brother You has been treating and saving lives all along. Everyone has a heart. Faced with a vicious bandit and a doctor who heals and saves lives, everyone knows which one to choose.

Yue Zijin regained his senses, and from then on, he never dared to underestimate anyone in the martial arts world again.

Su Ning followed behind the group. The reason she came to Lotus Peak was to pave the way for what lay ahead.

I want to see who this Mr. Duan Shui really is.

Before they even reached the entrance of Qingfeng Xiaozhu, they encountered an "old friend" on the road.

"Young Master Yue! We meet again!"

Xu Ling'er lifted her skirt and walked quickly toward the three of them, the pearl hairpin in her hair swaying gently, making a crisp sound.

"Miss Xu? Long time no see."

Since their last parting in Fuxian Town, Yue Zijin has never seen Xu Ling'er again. Xu Heyu of the Su Nu Sect is her cousin. She went out alone and, after wandering around, actually found her relatives.

Nature has nothing to do with them.

"Yes, I was wondering when I would be able to see Young Hero Yue again. I was so grateful to everyone for rescuing me from the clutches of the Flower Butterfly that day."

Unlike her disheveled appearance at the beginning, Xu Ling'er was now wearing brand new clothes, her eyes and brows radiating vitality, and her lips curved into a sweet smile.

Although he was speaking to Yue Zijin, his eyes kept glancing at the young swordsman beside him.

Yue Zijin naturally knew that the person in front of him had ulterior motives; it was clearly him and Ice Face who had rescued the person in Su Family Village.

But the girl in front of him only seemed to care about the icy-faced man.

As a brother, Yue Zijin naturally wants to make this peach blossom bloom even more beautifully.

He had planned to push the person to Pei Yunlian in front of Su Su, but the other party didn't give him that chance.

"The three of you don't seem to be heading in the direction of the martial arts arena. Where are you going?" She blinked, almost blurting out, "Can I come along?"

Yue Zi hesitated for a long time, while Pei Yunlian remained completely silent.

It was Su Ning who spoke up, "Since you are an old acquaintance of Zijin, why don't you come with us?"

Upon hearing this, not only was Yue Zijin somewhat surprised, but Pei Yunlian also frowned deeply.
