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

After her bath, Su Ning felt truly refreshed. She picked up a hairpin and simply tied her hair into a bun, letting the rest of her black hair fall to her waist. Even without makeup, she was already stunningly beautiful.

She had changed into a new apricot-colored soft gauze dress, with a brocade belt embroidered with flowers and birds cinching her waist, making her slender waist appear even more delicate. In addition to a small purse, she also had a small bell hanging from it, which sounded particularly pleasant when she walked.

After putting the veil back on, I pushed open the door, only to find that the person across the hall had also opened their door.

It was a woman, who looked quite young. She was also wearing a veil, revealing a pair of exceptionally bright eyes. She wore a long, moon-white dress, had a slender figure, and carried a sword on her back. She looked ethereal and otherworldly.

She nodded slightly to Su Ning and then went downstairs.

Su Ning first went to check on Pei Yunlian's condition. With You Xunchun there, even someone who had just died could be brought back to life. The boy was much better now than he had been a few days ago.

Her lips regained their color, and even the corners of her mouth softened slightly as she closed her eyes.

Su Ning tucked the blanket around him, but suddenly the other person grabbed her wrist, muttering, "Don't go, don't go..."

Seeing that the other person's eyes were tightly closed and their long eyelashes were trembling slightly, showing no intention of opening their eyes, one knew that they must be having a nightmare.

She gently removed the other person's hand from hers, then touched the other person's forehead with the back of her hand. She was relieved to find that the other person did not have a fever.

Looking around, I noticed that the window was open for some reason. I thought to myself that Yue Zijin was quite careless. Outside the window was a bustling street. Perhaps because it was located by the river, the houses here were all made of blue stone and gray tiles, and they were arranged in rows, looking quite poetic.

Before leaving, he took one last look at the boy lying on the bed before closing the door.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw Yue Zijin dressed in a flamboyant manner. He had probably just washed up, as his hair was still a little damp, but his clothes made him stand out in the crowd at a glance.

The top, made of strips of fabric pieced together in various colors, could be described as gaudy, but the colors were so appealing that the intricate garment made him stand out.

"Susu, how do I look in this outfit?"

As soon as he met the person, Yue Zijin couldn't help but show off.

"Yes, it looks great." Su Ning gave her evaluation without reservation.

"Pshaw, you look just like a brightly colored rooster now."

Tangxi walked by and gave her own comments.

"What do you know? This is a white coat that the villagers made for me by hand. I usually can't bear to wear it. If it weren't for the upcoming festival, you wouldn't have seen this coat." Yue Zijin rolled her eyes.

The three of them went downstairs and found that You Xunchun was already sitting in the lobby, surrounded by a lot of people. The girl that Su Ning had just met was sitting in a corner, with several people next to her dressed in a similar way.

"It is said that the Xuanji Sect originated in this very town of Fuxian. It was a formidable sect, and it only accepted women."

"After completing their studies, those women went out to travel the world. Some became famous and were respectfully called 'fairies,' while others entered the imperial court and became female officials."

"It's a pity that times have changed, and the Xuanji Sect no longer exists."

It turned out he was a storyteller, but for some reason he didn't go to the restaurant and instead came to the inn to talk about old stories.

A young man new to the martial world, puzzled, asked, "Was the Xuanji Sect wiped out? How could it just disappear like that?"

The storyteller glanced meaningfully at the young man who had asked the question, took a sip of tea, and continued, "No, no, the Xuanji Sect was not wiped out, but rather split apart."

Su Ning and her group sat at the square table, listening intently without even ordering food. Yue Zijin, in particular, naturally asked, "Why the division? There must be a reason, right?"

The storyteller looked in Yue Zijin's direction and laughed loudly, "This young friend is quite sharp; he actually asked me what I was about to tell the story beforehand!"

"Please allow me to explain in detail."

"The Xuanji Sect was handed over to a pair of sisters decades ago, but in less than a year, they established their own sects on opposite banks of the Peach Blossom River, facing each other across the river and never interacting with each other again."

"The disciples of these two are also enemies, their hatred for each other is palpable. Former sisters have now become enemies. There are all sorts of reasons from the outside world, but in my opinion, everything in this world is still inseparable from the word 'love'."

The storyteller sighed, as if he were particularly disappointed.

Just as he was about to begin the next part, a sharp sword flew in from outside the door, grazing over everyone's heads and embedding itself directly in the table in front of the storyteller with a loud "bang!" The teacup shattered in two.

In an instant, the guests who had been surrounding the storyteller scattered. Some hurried upstairs, while others hid behind tables and chairs. The storyteller, trembling, swallowed hard and looked at the people coming in through the door.

A sharp, melodious shout rang out, as sweet as a nightingale's song, yet it was utterly merciless when it came to cursing: "What nonsense are you spouting, you scoundrel? How dare you tarnish the reputation of my sect! Believe me, I'll rip your tongue out and feed it to the dogs!"

Su Ning looked towards the door and saw several women dressed in yellow, each carrying a sword. Not one of them was ugly, and the one who spoke was the leader.

She was exceptionally beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, bright and charming, even when she was angry, she was captivating.

The guests who had just scattered were now staring at them expectantly, forgetting even to run for their lives. Yes, it was all the storyteller's fault; they weren't the ones who angered the young lady.

"This...this heroine, no, I don't know, did this old man say something wrong just now?" Seeing that the people who came were a few young girls rather than some big men, the storyteller was relieved.

"Heh...you old man, spreading heresy and ruining the reputation of our Sect Leader Xuan Nu. My senior sister has already shown mercy by not arresting you."

The speaker was a pretty and delicate girl standing behind the woman in yellow who was in the lead.

"The Xuan Nu Sect, it's actually a fairy from the Xuan Nu Sect! This old man was blind and didn't recognize a great person, I deserve to die." After saying that, he slapped himself hard across the face.

"It's Fairy Zhu Qing! It's Fairy Zhu Qing!"

Someone in the crowd recognized the girl at the head of the group and exclaimed enthusiastically.

The name of the second beauty on the list of beauties of the Ten Miles of Hanging Bells is known to everyone.

Zhu Qing drew the sword from the table, frowned deeply as she stared at the storyteller, but ultimately did nothing more, only shouting sharply, "Get out of here!"

She looked around and saw that everyone she saw was captivated, while only Su Ning and her group were sitting calmly at the table, along with the white-clad women sitting in the corner.

She immediately walked over, followed by the woman behind her. When they reached Yue Zijin, they suddenly stopped and shouted, "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Yue Zijin:? ? ?

Su Ning couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Just as Yue Zi was about to retort, Tang Xi held her down firmly.

Zhu Qing glanced at the others, snorted softly, and then walked up to the woman in white.

The atmosphere became awkward as soon as the two groups met.

They all gripped their weapons tightly. Su Ning watched, fearing they might start fighting right there in the inn at any moment.
