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

"Tsk, it's just going to get some medicinal herbs, why are you all acting so terribly?"

Lou Xianyue's untimely voice rang out from all around.

Yue Zijin glared at him: "I bet you're hoping for this outcome."

But the young man, dressed in a brocade robe with cloud patterns, unusually smiled in response: "Yes, so what?"

Having stopped an impending argument, Su Ning calmly said to Lou Xianyue, "Young Master Lou, don't be too happy yet. The other side has already secured the area. Are you sure we can sneak back to the manor safely?"

Lou Xianyue's gaze fell on the two people below the stage, and she let out a soft sneer: "Just two clowns, do you really think they'd dare to lay a hand on the young master of Luofu Water Pavilion?"

Meanwhile, the two below were still shouting. They had only captured Shen Huaizhen, who had gone to report the news, and were now threatening Xuan Yang Daoist to hand over the Dragon Sparrow Blade to them.

Yue Zi jumped off the stage early this morning to attract their attention, in order to create an opportunity for Lou Xianyue and Su Ning to escape.

Fortunately, Lou Xianyue wasn't wearing red today, otherwise she probably would have been spotted after only a few steps.

No matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family.

Xiao Xing, who had just returned from Doctor Su's side, blocked their way. The young man was tall and slender, and he was just casually leaning against the wall. If you ignored his face, he would be extremely dashing.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Su Ning, and his words were laced with bitterness: "Just how many good brothers do you have?"

Then, with a hint of disdain, he scanned Lou Xianyue's entire body. "This one isn't going to call me 'Brother Xianyue' either, is she?"

Su Ning had a strange feeling of being caught red-handed; he had obviously heard her call Song Hengxue "Brother Hengxue".

But so what? Song Hengxue is older than them. What's wrong with her calling him "brother"? Su Ning straightened her back.

Lou Xianyue, however, was quite puzzled by this suddenly appearing attendant. "Is he one of your men?"

Judging from their conversation, they seem quite familiar with each other.

Lou Xianyue was naturally aware of the charm of the girl beside him. There was a young Taoist priest from Taihang Temple at Tian Shu Pavilion that night alone, and he had met Su Ning much later.

And the other party ignored him.

With her looks, it's quite normal for her to have a few close male friends that he doesn't know about.

Lou Xianyue's biggest regret was that Lin Ci did not participate in this martial arts tournament, otherwise he could have had a fair and square competition with him.

Lou Xianyue was naturally arrogant and haughty, so even a poor and stingy person like Yue Zijin had a face that was at least presentable.

But who is this person in front of me?

"May I ask your honorable name? Ah, well, it's best you don't tell me."

"After all, I don't have a very good memory, especially not someone as unique as you. Having seen you today, I'm afraid I won't remember what you look like tomorrow."

Lou Xianyue's sharp tongue remained consistently sharp, but unfortunately, Yu Xinglai wasn't as quick to explode as Yue Zijin.

He remained remarkably composed. Faced with such provocation, he simply moved closer to Su Ning, took her hand, and placed it on his cheek, saying in a gentle, almost teasing tone, "Sister, even though Young Master Lou is a man of unparalleled beauty, you would still prefer someone as plain and simple as me, wouldn't you?"

After saying that, he glanced at Lou Xianyue again, as if in a provocation.

Su Ning glanced at him with considerable surprise, not expecting him to call her "sister" in front of Lou Xianyue.

This is the first time the other person has shown weakness to me.

It has to be said that Yu Xinglai is really good at observing people's hearts.

Although he didn't really like Yu Xinglai's current attitude, she was calling him "sister" now, so what could he do? Su Ning always liked obedient fish.

He could only acquiesce to Yu Xinglai's behavior and apologized to Lou Xianyue, saying, "Xiao Xinglai is indeed one of my people. This is the first time he has spoken like this. He is truly rude. I hope Young Master Lou will forgive him."

"Xiao Xing, why aren't you apologizing to Young Master Lou?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinglai's eyes shone even brighter, as if he couldn't believe that Su Ning had actually tacitly approved of his actions.

So she adopted the demeanor of an empress towards Lou Xianyue, saying, "Young Master Lou, I'm truly sorry. I know my looks are rather plain, merely a firefly's glow. How dare I compare myself to the radiant beauty of the moon, Young Master Lou? I hope you will forgive my foolish words just now."

Lou Xianyue was so angry at the shamelessness of the person in front of her that she almost laughed. Where did this scoundrel come from?

He could tell that the other person was deliberately trying to disgust him.

But what he cared more about was Su Ning's attitude. The intimacy between the girl and the person in front of him was genuine. He didn't know Su Ning very well, but he knew a little about her temperament.

How could the other party possibly be interested in such a shameless servant?

Unless... the person in front of me doesn't look like his true self.

He had previously sent Kong Qing to inquire about what Yue Zi had encountered on the sidewalk. It was said that Yue Zi had met Song Hengxue in Qingyun and had even caused a scene at the Qingyun Prefect's banquet.

It seems there was some kind of conflict between them, and it was said that he was a notorious petty thief in the martial arts world.

But there's no more information available.

Lou Xianyue gently stroked her fingers, suppressing the emotions in her heart. The level of the person in front of her was far beyond that of Yue Zijin, that poor wretch.

How could he lose his composure because of the other party's provocation?

"Miss Su, since this person is worried about your safety, then let him come along. But a servant should act like a servant."

"How can you call your master 'sister'?"

"Don't you think so?"

Lou Xianyue's voice trailed off lazily, her narrow eyes sweeping sideways over the man behind Su Ning, as if she were appraising an out-of-place ornament.

Su Ning stopped Yu Xing from speaking, and looked at the dignified young man beside her, "Young Master Lou, let's hurry up and get our things."

"After all, everyone around us is counting on our purple tassel flowers."

Once Su Ning spoke, the two of them naturally didn't cause any trouble.

However, Chen Wujin and Xue Shazi, who should have been held back by Yue Zijin, suddenly turned their gazes toward the three of them.

It turns out someone had tipped them off!

"What a show! But those two over there trying to steal the knife, don't forget there are three sneaky thieves here too."

In the stands, there was a man dressed in a black and gold brocade robe, wearing a mask of the same color, and accompanied by a follower with profound inner strength.

It was the same master and servant that Su Ning and her group had encountered at the pavilion beside the mountain road.
