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

"Brother You, have some water."

The concerned voice of the girl in red pulled You Xunchun from his concentration. The man put down the herbs beside him and turned around to look at the person who had spoken.

Tang Xi was tall and slender, her elegant red dress accentuating her graceful figure, with a sharp dagger tucked at her waist.

Despite his strikingly handsome appearance, his cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, and his eyes darted to the side, unable to look directly at the person in front of him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Tang, but I am not thirsty yet. These are turbulent times, and I must continue treating patients." A predictable refusal.

After saying that, he walked straight past Tangxi. The pleasant herbal scent emanating from the man, along with the fragrance of green wood, was carried by the wind to Tangxi's nose, making her want to linger but also feel a pang of sadness.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl is just starting out in the world and can't help but feel young and admiring. However, the people around her who know her are either too naive or too arrogant. As a proud daughter of heaven, Tang Xi naturally has her own pride.

So when you meet an older person who is so gentle and tolerant, you can't help but be attracted to them, but they keep backing away from your feelings.

He is as enigmatic as a gentle breeze, warm and welcoming to everyone, yet as aloof and untouchable as the bright moon.

"I never thought our Miss Tang would have a day when she gets her comeuppance, hmph."

The voice came from behind. The boy's voice was clear and bright, with a hint of teasing mockery. However, upon closer inspection, there was no malice in it, but it still made Tang Xi feel embarrassed.

After all, how could the third young lady of the prestigious Sword Forging Manor tolerate the ridicule of a mere beggar? She immediately glared at him.

"Yue Zijin, mind your own business. Instead of wasting your time watching my spectacle, you should be practicing your martial arts properly, so you don't end up being unable to even beat the gatekeeper of the martial arts tournament!"

Tangxi spoke without holding back, and after saying that, she turned and left the thatched hut.

Yue Zijin propped his head up with his hand, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, and shook his head helplessly.

In Tangxi's opinion, Yue Zijin was lazy and listless all day long, and had no redeeming qualities from beginning to end. Although he had a handsome appearance, he could only fool young girls. He didn't look like a person destined for greatness at all.

She had no idea how the Taihang Temple had arrived at its conclusion. If her father hadn't given her the task, she would never have had to deal with such lowly commoners. What bad luck!

Upon exiting the thatched hut, she saw You Xunchun, dressed in green, treating someone. In her opinion, the person destined for this should be a doctor like Brother You, who saves lives and heals the wounded, not Yue Zijin, who only knows how to cheat and be cunning.

Meanwhile, not far from the group, Su Ning was busy getting ready for her "wedding".

In the past few days, Su Youde has prepared a lot of things for her. Perhaps knowing that her days are numbered, he has not been stingy with the money.

Of course, it's also possible that the person she's going to marry is the renowned Li family in Luoyun City. After all, it's a ghost marriage, and if they find the bride's hairpins and jewelry too plain or her wedding dress too simple, it will be his problem no matter what.

Su Ning gazed at herself in the bronze mirror, her black hair and snow-white skin making her look like a sixteen-year-old girl in full bloom, like a begonia in full bloom.

Her eyebrows were lightly painted and powdered, her lips were a touch of crimson that could make anyone swoon, but what was most captivating were her eyes, which seemed to hold the essence of spring water; with just one glance, they could steal one's soul.

As the red veil was lifted, her stunning beauty was gradually hidden...

Such a striking appearance might disrupt her future plans. In any case, these people will ultimately have nothing to do with her, so it's better to avoid trouble.

Since Su Ning had deliberately made herself ugly at the behest of Old Man Su, some people in the village had seen her face after she made herself ugly.

This hallucinogen can make people around her subconsciously recall Su Ning's appearance when she was dressed up as an ugly woman.

Of course, these props were bought on credit.

The door was pushed open, and the maids and servants waiting outside went to greet her. Su Youde looked at Su Ning in her wedding dress and nodded in satisfaction.

Although she was an ugly girl, she was hidden by the veil, and her body, wrapped in layers of wedding dress, was exquisite and shapely, making her look like a beautiful and vibrant woman.

In this way, the Li family might be even more satisfied with the woman he found for them, and might even give him a sum of money.

"Lift the sedan chair!"

With a command given, joyous sounds echoed throughout the village; a joyous day is always a happy one.

But for some reason, the old people in the village did not show much joy on their faces.

"Susu...you really aren't going to run away?"

The soft, childlike voice in her mind carried a hint of unease. According to the original owner's storyline, Su Ning did not actually succeed in marrying the young master of the Li family in Luoyun City. Although the original owner was simple-minded, she was not stupid.

After getting into the sedan chair, I felt very flustered, and then my mind became dizzy. I was about to fall asleep in a daze.

However, she was suddenly attacked by bandits in the woods in front of the city gate of Luoyun City. If it weren't for the sounds of fighting and the jolting of the sedan chair, she probably wouldn't have woken up.

Just then, the main characters happened to pass by. You see, with the female lead, the third young lady of the Sword Forging Manor, there was no way they would just stand by and watch someone die.

Thus, a fierce battle ensued. After waking up, Su Ning became increasingly panicked and took the opportunity to escape.

But the world is vast, where could a young girl like her escape to? She had only jumped from one wolf's den to another tiger's den.

During her escape, she was targeted, but this time, there was no hero to save her. Those people saw that she was beautiful and wanted to defile her, but ultimately, driven by profit, they sold her to a brothel.

Even though she retained her virginity, the disgusting humiliation completely destroyed the original owner's mind.

She went mad; her lust for power and thirst for strength completely extinguished the goodness in her heart.

It was here that the original owner of this body became a thoroughly evil person. She wanted to kill those people, and she would stop at nothing to do so.

In the brothel, she learned all the seductive tricks, playing hard to get, her charm penetrating to the bone. After a year of twists and turns, she went from a peasant girl in a remote mountain village to the most famous beauty in the capital.

She also became the apple of the eye of Prince Ling, who was second only to the emperor.

From then on, they enjoyed wealth, power, and status—everything they could desire.

But the twists and turns and the pain involved cannot be summarized in just a few words.

Su Ning is the most selfish person. If she were to travel directly to a year later when the original owner was famous in the capital, she would naturally have everything she wanted. But now everything has to start from scratch.

But now that she stands at the beginning of the story, she has a choice, so why should she relive the pain?

A faint, sweet fragrance had filled the sedan chair, and the bride inside was already fast asleep.

Xiao Qi sighed almost imperceptibly. For a moment, all that could be heard outside was the deafening sound of gongs, drums, and suonas.

In the woods.

The group that had been escorting the sedan chair were now completely devoid of their initial joyful atmosphere.

Su Youde hurriedly hid behind a tree, the stench of blood mixed with the festive silk obscuring the scene of rivers of blood.

If it weren't for the fact that the scattered bandits underground seemed completely out of place with the wedding procession, no one would have guessed that a fierce battle had taken place here.

A boy leaned against a tree, a blade of grass between his teeth. He wore a short, coarse indigo shirt with tightly bound cuffs, and worn-out linen glove sleeves with white knuckles. He wore dark gray trousers with the legs tucked into slightly worn leather boots.

Although the boy was slender, he was not overly thin, and one could vaguely sense the power hidden within his body, which was wrapped in robes.

He stood with his arms crossed, leaning lazily against a tree trunk. His small voice roused the trembling wedding procession: "Everyone, come out now! The thieves have all been executed. You can continue the wedding procession."

After he finished speaking, a number of people quietly appeared around them, but they did not pay attention to Yue Zijin who had just spoken. Instead, they looked at the white-robed youth beside him.

"It's the legendary healer, Doctor You!"

"It turns out it was Doctor You's companion who saved us! Everyone, come out quickly!"

Yue Zijin wasn't annoyed to see all the villagers who had accompanied the bride running towards You Xunchun's side, after all, he hadn't done anything wrong.

Thinking of this, he turned to Pei Yunlian beside him and smiled, "Ice Face, your martial arts are really not bad."

Before Pei Yunlian could answer, Tang Xi interrupted, "If you could put even half the effort into martial arts, we wouldn't need to lift a finger today."

It was still just sarcasm and ridicule.

Yue Zijin was not surprised. After all, the young lady came from a prestigious family and had been surrounded by geniuses since childhood. His lack of learning and skills would never catch her eye.

I don't know why she dislikes me so much, yet she still suppresses her anger and tries to deal with me.

He felt exhausted just thinking about her.

He didn't answer again, and as if by chance, he glanced at the bridal sedan chair to the side. He then walked over, but before he got close, he was blocked by a withered and old hand.

He glanced down and saw Su Youde force a smile: "We're on our way to escort the bride, young hero. Please forgive us, but it's not convenient for anyone to see the bride."

Tsk...what a fake laugh.

Yue Zijin was only acting on a whim. When he saw that the other party had stopped him, he gave up and decided to check on the person in the sedan chair.

But the hands hidden behind her back were unconsciously rubbing together. Such a big thing had just happened, but the bride in the sedan chair hadn't said a word. Ordinary people would either run away or lift the curtain to check on her.

However, the sedan chair had been abandoned from the beginning, and there was nothing inside. Perhaps Tang Xi and Pei Yunlian were so focused on fighting that they didn't notice, but he saw it clearly from the side.

"Never mind," Yue Zi thought for a moment, but quickly dismissed it, since it had nothing to do with her anyway.

Xinglin Chun's reputation is naturally great; even a small place like Sujia Village has heard of him, which shows that he has been famous in the martial arts world for a long time.

After the group thanked the embroidered sedan chair, they continued their preparations for departure. The sound of the suona horn rose high, and the sedan chair was lifted again. Perhaps it was the weather that was kind, as a gentle breeze lightly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

And Yue Zijin's gaze happened to be looking in that direction.

A slight curve revealed the person's delicate chin, and the neck wrapped in red made the person's skin appear even whiter and more like the finest porcelain.

Yue Zijin was stunned for a moment, until the group gradually moved away, before Pei Yunlian reminded him: "It's time to go."
