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

The Seven Stars Merchant Guild, as described in the original work, is a top-tier merchant alliance. It uses the Big Dipper as its emblem and has offices in all areas except Beilu. It is involved in everything from purchasing tributes for the imperial court to trading ordinary items in the marketplace.

In particular, it often contains all sorts of exquisite Jianghu items, such as hidden weapons, poisons, martial arts techniques, and medicinal herbs, all of which can be traded at the Seven Star Merchant Guild.

"Before we met you, we encountered Duan Ming being robbed by a group of bandits on the road. We rescued him and learned that he was actually a manager of the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce."

Tangxi whispered the explanation in Su Ning's ear.

The group was heading towards Zuixianlou, the most famous restaurant in Lingzhou City. It turned out that Duan Ming had met them and said that it was a great pleasure to reunite with them, so he invited them to have dinner at the restaurant.

Yue Zijin would naturally not refuse; when good friends meet, they should naturally drink and sing.

However, Su Ning was in a bit of trouble. Tang Xi wanted to accompany Su Ning back to the inn, but she refused. After all, it was a gathering of friends, and it wouldn't be perfect if one of them was missing.

So Su Ning wore only a veil and went with them to see the number one restaurant in Lingzhou City.

Passing through the bustling crowd, you will see a building with upturned eaves and a gilded plaque that reads "Zui Xian Lou" standing in the middle of the street.

Duan Ming led the way, then turned back and gestured for the group to proceed. "The private room upstairs is ready. Tonight, we're determined to drink until we drop."

After saying that, he looked at Yue Zijin and laughed loudly: "Brother Yue, the signature Drunken Immortal Wine and roasted pigeon at this Drunken Immortal Pavilion are absolutely superb. You're in for a treat tonight."

Upon hearing that there would be fine wine and food, Yue Zi's eyes immediately lit up. He rubbed his hands together and said, "That's great! You have no idea how bland my mouth has been these past two days of traveling."

Seeing Yue Zijin's pathetic state, Tang Xi rubbed her forehead and said, "Brother You, keep an eye on him later, don't let him get drunk."

You Xunchun glanced back at the two of them, his tone calm: "Don't worry, young friend Yue knows what he's doing."

The private room on the third floor of Zuixianlou is bright and airy. The carved window can be pushed open to face the bustling traffic on the street. The waiter quickly sets out a table of dishes, and the glass cups are filled with amber-colored Zuixian wine. The aroma of the wine mixed with the charred fragrance of roasted pigeon fills the room.

Duan Ming first filled everyone's cups with wine, then raised his glass and said with a smile, "It is truly my honor to see you all again in Lingzhou City. Tonight, we shall drink until we drop!"

Su Ning also took a small sip. This Drunken Immortal Wine was refreshing and delicious, with a rich aroma. It was indeed worthy of being a signature product.

This morning, Yuezi couldn't wait to grab a pigeon and gnaw on it until her mouth was greasy.

Su Ning, however, stood out among them, her face veiled and devoid of any meat, only picking out light dishes.

"Miss Su, why are you wearing a veil while eating? Is it because the dishes I prepared are not to your liking?"

After a few rounds of drinks, Duan Ming looked at the girl with only a pair of clear eyes and finally couldn't suppress his doubts. He put down his wine cup and bowed slightly to Su Ning.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the private room instantly fell silent.

Even Yue Zijin, who was gnawing on a pigeon with her mouth full of oil, put down the pigeon in her hand, looked at Su Ning, but hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Tang Xi quickly explained on Su Ning's behalf, "Young Master Duan, please don't be offended, Su Su..."

"It's alright." Su Ning raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Duan Ming's face through a thin veil, her voice gentle: "I just caught a cold recently, and a rash has appeared on my face. I didn't want to spoil everyone's fun; it's not Duan Gongzi's fault."

Upon hearing this, Duan Ming chuckled and quickly stood up to apologize, "I had misunderstood, Miss Su. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused."

It seems that Duan Ming only mentioned it unintentionally, but with Su Ning around, the group didn't really enjoy the meal.

As for You Xunchun, he always remained indifferent.

Even Yue Zijin wanted to end the dinner quickly, and even the pigeon in her mouth no longer tasted good.

Duan Ming pretended not to hear, and casually asked, "Do any of you know about the Moon Goddess Ceremony that just concluded in Fuxian Town?"

"I've heard that the Moon Goddess is an even more beautiful woman than Xu Heyu and Zhu Qing."

"this……"

Hesitation flashed in Yue Zijin's eyes. Although they had saved Duan Ming's life, they hadn't spent much time together. Although he had taken a lot of things from the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce.

He also felt that the other party was not one of those wicked people, but he never thought of exposing Su Ning to them.

Just as he hesitated, Pei Yunlian suddenly spoke up: "Of course we've heard of it, but people often exaggerate. We haven't seen it with our own eyes, we've only heard rumors. Could it be that Brother Duan has seen it with his own eyes?"

Pei Yunlian's words were sharp and clear, showing that she did not believe the rumors about the Moon Goddess.

Duan Ming chuckled awkwardly, raised his wine cup to toast the other man, and said, "Brother Pei is right. I've only heard about it, but it's all over the martial arts world these days, and I'm just following the crowd."

Su Ning casually observed Duan Ming, realizing that the real purpose of this meal was something else entirely.

Fortunately, the other party also sensed that the atmosphere was not right and did not continue the topic, treating it as just casual conversation.

After leaving the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, a cool breeze sobered him up considerably, and Yue Zijin finally looked back at the magnificent restaurant behind him.

"Do you think Brother Duan has noticed anything?"

Pei Yunlian glanced sideways and said calmly, "One should always be wary of others."

"Aren't we going back to Sword Forging Manor tomorrow? Perhaps it really is just a coincidence."

Su Ning comforted them from the side. She herself didn't feel anything, so why were all the main characters like frightened birds?

"Su Su, you must remember this: not all people in the martial world are good like us. Many are driven by lust and will murder for money."

Tangxi spoke earnestly to Su Ning.

"I don't know why the leaders of those two sects insisted that you play the Moon Goddess," Tangxi muttered.

Otherwise, why would there be so much trouble?

You Xunchun emerged from the restaurant last, glanced at the group of people, and slowly said, "Don't worry, the food wasn't poisoned. Perhaps they were just mentioning it casually."

"After all, the most exciting thing in the martial arts world right now, besides the martial arts tournament, is the person playing the Moon Goddess, isn't it?"

You Xunchun looked at the masked girl with a half-smile.

"Yes, the scene that night was absolutely stunning. It's such a pity you didn't see it, Brother You."

Yue Zijin followed the other person's words and sighed with emotion.

Brother You was the same; during the day they invited him to see the Moon Goddess Su Su at night, but she refused.

Yue Zijin had no doubt about You Xunchun; if the other party said he wouldn't go, then he really wouldn't go.
