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

You Xunchun came and went quickly; at least Su Ning didn't see him after she woke up.

Although the other party didn't say anything last night, his sudden appearance here already speaks volumes.

Life continued peacefully, except for the increasingly turbulent rumors circulating in the martial arts world, which seemed to be trying to elevate Yue Zijin to the status of a god.

Besides You Xunchun's instigation, the influence of his backing was also significant.

Sword Casting Manor, Luofu Waterside Pavilion, Taihang Temple...

Hundred Flowers Valley appears to be neutral, but in reality, it is biased towards the other side.

No matter how much You Xunchun stirred things up, the assertion that the person was destined by fate was made by Zhang Hexian himself.

This alone gives him a natural advantage.

Su Ning looked down at the scene of singing and dancing in the hall below, pondering the events of the past few days.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded beside her. Su Ning didn't turn around, and then everything went dark. The culprit's chin rested slightly on the top of her head.

His voice was deliberately low and hoarse, with a hint of mockery: "Guess who I am? If you guess right, I'll treat you to a freshly baked sugar cake."

His fingertips were restless, and he gently scraped the skin under her eyes again. The rough calluses on his fingertips brushed against her delicate skin, making her shiver and shrink her shoulders.

She reached out to pry his wrist, touching the protruding knuckles: "Little Star, you've been naughty."

"Oh, you recognized me so quickly?" The boy's tone carried a hint of unsatisfied annoyance, but he didn't loosen his grip. Instead, he deliberately tightened his palm, gently pinching her soft cheek with his fingertips. "Guess again, listen carefully to the voice."

Su Ning couldn't see because her eyes were covered, but her hearing became even more acute. She could clearly hear the low chuckles and vibrations coming from his chest, warm and soft against her back.

Her smile deepened, and she deliberately tilted her head in agreement with his words, her voice soft and teasing: "Hmm... not Little Star, but the famous Flying Little Thief Saint."

"Why did you have to add the word 'small'? What's small about it?" The boy sounded quite mournful, his breath getting closer and closer, almost touching her earlobe.

Only then did the other person release their grip, and Su Ning finally turned around to see the smiling face in their eyes.

The young man stood tall and straight like a bamboo shoot, his black outfit accentuating his slender waist and broad shoulders.

Her black hair was neither too short nor too long, with wispy strands falling loosely across her forehead, just covering her brow bone. The hair at her temples was neatly cut to her ears, revealing her sharp jawline and clean-cut ear tips.

Most of her black hair at the back of her head was loosely tied up with a dark-colored hairband with subtle patterns, while a few loose strands fell casually down, sweeping across her neck in the wind, adding a touch of nonchalance and unruliness.

He stood there with his arms half-crossed, his eyes sparkling with liveliness. "The weather's so nice today, shall I take you out to play?"

Since Su Ning gave the Cold Water Flower to Tang Xi, Song Hengxue returned to Hundred Flowers Valley. After all, he had already stayed in the capital long enough.

This made Yu Xinglai even more smug. It was good that he left, saving him from getting in the way.

Thinking about this, Yu Xinglai once again lamented that he had been raised almost entirely on his own, without so many rules and regulations to restrict him.

only……

Just as Su Ning was about to reply, another set of footsteps came from the corner, "Master."

The person arrived before the voice.

Yu Xinglai rolled her eyes in annoyance.

After Song Hengxue left, Chu Jie came along.

Before Su Ning could answer, he turned around and scanned the person in front of him from head to toe. His voice, tinged with sarcasm, rang out: "I say, Young Master Chu, everyone knows that the Master of the Sword Forging Manor has now recovered."

"I think you're not suffering from amnesia, you're blind and deaf, that's why you can't see or hear this news."

Yu Xinglai's sarcastic remarks were off the charts, and he didn't care at all about offending the young master of the Sword Forging Manor.

After all, let's leave aside the one from the imperial court. We're all from the martial world, and you're not exactly a proper young master. Instead, you're serving as a guard in the Demonic Sect's territory. Everyone knows that this is like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.

Su Ning was also watching the man she had picked up; Sixteen was undoubtedly handsome.

He was quiet and composed, and his facial features bore little resemblance to those of Tang Jingshan and Tang Xi.

This must be inherited from their mother.

This is also why Su Ning didn't immediately connect the other person's background when she found them.

Sixteen seemed completely unconcerned by Yu Xinglai's provocation. She simply looked at Su Ning and said calmly, "In Su Lou, I am Sixteen. The Lou Master saved me, and I will not leave until I repay this debt of gratitude."

Yu Xinglai was almost laughing with anger at the other person. He practically gritted his teeth and said, "Pah! You're just a womanizer who forgets his principles."

As soon as he finished speaking, he almost instantly pulled Su Ning up, "Come on, let's go out and have some fun, ignore him."

Seeing that Su Ning did not stop the other party's actions, Sixteen finally moved as well. He simply took a small step and then stood in front of the two of them, saying, "I am the Lord's guard. If the Lord wants to go out, he should take me with him."

Seeing that the man was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, and like a piece of chewing gum that couldn't be shaken off, Yu Xinglai's face turned ashen, as if she had swallowed a fly. "You shameless bastard..."

But the words caught in his throat, and he felt they were too vulgar, so he swallowed them back, turned to look at Su Ning, and said with a wronged expression, "Su Su..."

Seeing this, Su Ning blinked and, under Yu Xinglai's puzzled gaze, slowly withdrew her hand from the man's grasp.

"Ahem, let's talk about going out later. I need to go see Yunlian."

Aside from You Xunchun's sudden visit, Su Ning has continued to visit Pei Yunlian every day for a period of time these past few days.

Perhaps because the other party's attitude was too agitated that day, when Su Ning went there again later, he was obviously much more restrained, but he was still much more gloomy than before.

When Yu Xinglai heard Pei Yunlian's name, he was still angry, but because Pei Yunlian was currently ill, he didn't say anything more.

He calmly replied, "That boy is recuperating at Su Lou now, so you don't need to look after him too much. After all, you're not a doctor. It's still early today, so we can go out after you've seen him."

He had naturally heard the rumors about Yue Zijin in the martial arts world, although he didn't know exactly what had happened at the spring hunting grounds that day.

But his intuition told him that the person was definitely up to something, so while the other party hadn't made any moves yet, he wanted to take Su Ning on a good tour of the capital.

After pondering for a moment, Su Ning finally agreed, "Okay, I agree."

Then, in front of Yu Xinglai, she smiled at Sixteen, who was standing to the side, and said, "Actually, you don't need to repay anything. I've already given the Cold Water Flower to Xixi, and you can leave at any time."

"Of course, it wouldn't be bad to take a stroll around the capital before leaving."

Before Sixteen could even feel the fleeting bitterness in her heart, she heard her agree, and a quiet joy welled up inside her.

He lowered his head, and like the other subordinates of Xiuyu Tower, solemnly said, "I will protect the Tower Master."
