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

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Qi. Hundred Flowers Valley has always been a place for seeking medical treatment. It is indeed too presumptuous of me to make such a request."

Tangxi looked at the white-robed old man at the head of the table, feeling both anxious and ashamed.

Qi Qing looked at the girl below, stroked his beard, and smiled, "Xi'er, why are you like this? Since you are my friend, Hundred Flowers Valley will certainly do everything in its power to help you."

"It's a pity that I rarely leave the valley these days, so I can only send my disciple. I'm afraid those lads might not be able to capture Yu Xinglai."

The old man was dressed in a plain white robe, and appeared to be around fifty years old. He had a calm demeanor and looked exceptionally kind.

"Our senior brothers and sisters are all taught by Uncle Qi, so they are naturally renowned figures in their respective regions. This Yu Xinglai has only gained some fame in the martial arts world in recent years. He will surely be able to capture this thief."

Seeing Tang Xi's indignant expression, Qi Qing simply smiled. "Xi'er is still young. Even I, an old man living in seclusion in this valley, have heard of Yu Xinglai's reputation. With such light-footed skills that leave no trace in the snow, catching him will probably take some effort."

Tangxi wanted to say something more, but the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. "Master, don't underestimate us. Now that this thief has come to Qingyun, I'll teach him a lesson he won't leave alive."

The girl who entered was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face, but her face showed some arrogance. A man followed closely behind her, and upon hearing this, he immediately apologized to Qi Qing: "Master, please don't be angry. It was my fault for not stopping my junior sister."

Qi Qing choked for a moment, then flicked his sleeves. "Hengxue, now that you are the head physician, you should shoulder your responsibilities. If you can't even do something as simple as looking after your junior sister, how will you gain the respect of others in the future?"

The man was tall and slender, and even as he bowed to apologize, he exuded an air of elegance. "Master is right."

The girl who had initially caused the trouble was indignant: "Master, why scold my senior brother? It was wrong of me to barge in, but since I spoke up, I was confident I could catch that thief."

Qi Qing snorted coldly: "Linglong, where have you learned your manners? If today's guests weren't acquaintances, you would have utterly disgraced our Hundred Flowers Valley."

Tangxi had observed that Uncle Qi was exceptionally tolerant of the young girl in front of him, but quite stern towards the man called Hengxue. Seeing that the situation was getting a bit out of hand, she quickly spoke up: "This junior sister is right. Hundred Flowers Valley is full of talented people. We will surely teach that thief Yu Xinglai a lesson he won't return."

"Enough, enough. You young people go and discuss it. I'm getting old."

Seeing Qi Qing wave his hand, the three of them left the inner room.

"Is that Senior Brother Song?"

Tangxi looked at the handsome, elegant man before her, and the youthful face she remembered gradually overlapped with the man before her.

Song Hengxue turned around, her tone gentle: "Junior Sister Tang actually still remembers me?"

Tangxi had stayed in Hundred Flowers Valley for a while when she was young, but after returning to Sword Casting Manor, she rarely visited. If it weren't for the opportunity to deliver the invitation, she wouldn't know when she would be able to come to Hundred Flowers Valley again.

Tangxi sized up Song Hengxue. The man was young and handsome, with a pair of gentle and affectionate peach blossom eyes. His facial features were gentle and elegant. He was not as sharp and imposing as Yue Zijin and Pei Yunlian, but he was also less detached and indifferent than You Xunchun. Instead, everything about him was just right.

"As expected of the Western Song of the Eastern Tower, meeting Senior Brother Song today has shown me that his ranking on the Young Masters List is not unfounded."

As an organization recognized by everyone in the martial arts world, Shili Xuanling has launched various lists under its Yuege Pavilion, such as the Top Ten Young Masters List, the Beauty List, the Master List, the Weapon List, etc., which have always been popular topics of conversation. Although Tangxi is not enthusiastic about these things, she has still heard of them.

"Junior Sister Tang is teasing me. I rarely leave the valley, and I don't know how Ten Miles of Bells obtained my portrait."

Qi Linglong chimed in, "If you ask me, Lou Xianyue is definitely no match for my senior brother. I don't know what kind of ranking this 'Ten Miles of Suspended Bells' is all about; the two of them have never even met, yet they're being compared together."

"Linglong, be careful what you say."

Although Song Hengxue stopped her from speaking, Qi Linglong still stuck out her tongue, completely ignoring his words.

"Could this be Uncle Qi's niece?" Tang Xi looked at Qi Linglong with some doubt, as she seemed quite unfamiliar with her.

Song Hengxue replied, "That's right. When you stayed in Hundred Flowers Valley back then, your junior sister wasn't even there yet, so it's understandable that you didn't know her."

It seems she guessed correctly; no wonder Uncle Qi showed such favoritism towards this girl.

"I just heard from Uncle Qi that Senior Brother Song is now a head physician; he truly has a bright future."

The position of chief physician in Hundred Flowers Valley is not one that just anyone can hold. One must pass through layers of tests and possess first-class medical and martial arts skills before becoming the chief physician, who can then take on apprentices.

"Yes, Senior Brother is the youngest chief physician in Hundred Flowers Valley. Even Master praised him as a genius that comes along only once in a century." Qi Linglong was clearly very proud of this.

"With Senior Brother Song here, capturing Yu Xinglai on this trip is practically a certainty."

She had been worried that although the Sword Forging Manor was on good terms with the Hundred Flowers Valley, the other party might not be able to send a chief physician to help her capture the thief. Now that Song Hengxue was helping her, it was much more certain that she could capture Yu Xing to rescue Su Ning.

However, the person at the center of the incident was unaware of the intricacies of the situation outside.

Although Yu Xinglai locked the door, the fence wasn't high. She took a stool from inside the house, stepped on it, and was able to climb over. However, her feet went numb when she landed.

She looked back at the wooden house again, rested for a while, and then casually chose a place to walk.

Surrounded by trees, I could just wander wherever I pleased.

She could hear the sound of flowing water nearby, which meant there was a waterfall. She planned to follow that direction, and naturally, she didn't forget to use the butterfly hairpin in her hair to carve marks on the trees along the way.

She walked for an unknown amount of time but still couldn't see the waterfall. Coincidentally, she discovered the marks she had made.

She was clearly moving forward, but now the other person seemed to be spinning in place. And remembering that the other person didn't seem afraid of her running away at all, she knew that this must be another illusion deliberately set up by Yu Xinglai.

Her body was delicate, and after walking for only a few hours, her legs began to ache. In the end, she could only lean against a tree and curse the culprit that had caused her this: "...Why call yourself 'Holy Thief'? You might as well change your name to 'Flower Thief' instead."

Whether there were any jackals, wolves, tigers, or leopards in the forest as he had described was still unknown, but it was true that there wasn't a single ghost in sight.

She leaned against the tree, rubbing her legs, wondering where she should go next.

Just as she was about to get up, a pair of black boots appeared in front of her. Caught off guard, she stumbled and leaned against a tree. Looking up, she met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but weren't: "Miss Su is certainly lively and active."

The other person had one hand on the tree and was carrying several oil paper packages in the other hand, presumably the snacks he said he would bring back this morning.

Caught red-handed, Su Ning felt a little guilty, but when she thought that the other party was the culprit, she straightened her back again.

"Young Master Yu is back so soon?"

She remained composed, her long eyelashes fluttering, and there was no trace of guilt on her face. Yu Xinglai looked down at her; her cloud-like hair and beautiful face, her clear, autumn-like eyes staring at him with a misty gaze, made his heart feel as if it were being brushed by a feather, itchy, yet he couldn't stop it.

The two were very close. He could lower his head and bend down to kiss her eyebrows, the bridge of her nose, and her honey-scented lips.

Su Ning didn't know what the other person was thinking, but through the wind, she could clearly smell the faint scent of blood in the air, which was emanating from the person in front of her.

That makes sense. They were carrying pastries, so they probably didn't even have time to change their clothes before they came to arrest people.
