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

Lou Xianyue looked at the frail girl on the ground. Although she had doubts, she did not stop Kong Qing from asking her question.

"Why are you sneaking around in this desolate place, woman? If you're not telling the truth, this sword beside you has seen plenty of blood."

Although Kong Qing is young, he may serve as the personal attendant of the young master of Luofu Water Pavilion. How could he be an ordinary nobody?

At this moment, he stared coldly at the weak and pitiful woman on the ground with hostility. If she showed even the slightest malice, that sword would immediately decapitate her.

The girl trembled as if frightened, looking up at the cold-faced servant before her, her voice choked with sobs, weak and pitiful: "I...I didn't mean to."

"I was just kidnapped by thugs and brought here. After I escaped, I was so scared that I ran away without thinking."

The girl's voice was ethereal and soft, now trembling, making her all the more pitiful and arousing one's protective instincts.

Kong Qing looked at the person in front of her. Although the person was masked, his eyes were bright and clear, without the scheming and cunning of the villains of the past.

Furthermore, since she genuinely lacked any internal energy and the injuries on her body didn't seem fake, people were somewhat convinced by her for being such a frail woman.

"Young Master? This..."

Kong Qing looked up at the noble young man on the couch; this matter still needed to be handled by him.

Lou Xianyue slightly raised her eyelids, her gaze lightly landing on the frail woman on the ground, but the warmth of her gaze carried a hint of indifference: "Even if you were captured by villains, how could you have escaped without knowing martial arts?"

The boy's voice was clear and crisp; he spoke only casually, yet everyone held their breath.

Su Ning subconsciously turned to look at him, while Kong Qing also assumed a proper posture, gripping the sword in his hand tightly.

Looking up at the noble and peerless young man, Su Ning seemed to have recovered her senses and answered him calmly, "I was lucky. After that villain kidnapped me, I ran into another group of people, who seemed to be his enemies. The two of them were extremely hostile to each other, so I took the opportunity to run away."

"If you could give me a ride to Lingzhou, I would be eternally grateful."

After Su Ning finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze.

Lou Xianyue glanced at Kong Qing beside him, and the other person understood his meaning. Holding a long sword, he walked towards Su Ning.

Su Ning seemed flustered for a moment, her misty eyes looking at Lou Xianyue with confusion: "What do you mean, young master? Don't you believe what I said?"

Lou Xianyue looked down at the girl on the ground, as if surveying her from above, her tone cold and distant: "Since you seek refuge, how can I trust you when your mouth is full of lies?"

"Besides, if you were fleeing for your life, how could you break through my guards and rush straight at me? What are your intentions?"

Although the young man was handsome, he was not stupid.

As Su Ning watched the approaching sword shadow, she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and finally revealed the truth, "Young Master, your insight is as keen as a needle. I did not tell the whole truth, but only not the whole truth."

Lou Xian Yue raised her hand slightly, stopping Kong Qing's movements, and nodded slightly, signaling Su Ning to continue.

Su Ning hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "I was indeed caught in an undeserved misfortune; it's true that I was kidnapped by villains."

"Although I don't know martial arts, I do have hidden weapons that I can use to protect myself, which were given to me by my elders."

"After escaping, I was filled with fear. The forest was so vast, and the night was so dark; I could even hear the howling of jackals in the night."

"Meeting you, sir, has rekindled my hope. However, I am all alone, while you are exceptionally noble. It's inevitable that you might suspect I have ulterior motives."

"I was momentarily blinded by greed, but I have absolutely no improper thoughts towards you, young master. I only hope that you can take me to Lingzhou City; my friends are still waiting for me."

Su Ning spoke earnestly, and under the moonlight, she appeared even more solitary, her clear eyes showing no trace of guilt.

Lou Xianyue noticed that the girl's knuckles were tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, turning white from the force, and her clothes were filthy and disheveled from the dust.

For some reason, the image that flashed through his mind was the soft, warm touch he had just felt in his arms. He brushed it away in the next second, saying, "Qiuci, take some people downstairs to change their clothes."

Upon hearing this, Su Ning knew that he believed her.

The maid called Qiu Ci was the same one who had just lifted the curtain. She led Su Ning to the tent at the back and brought her a light blue silk dress similar to the one Su Ning was wearing. "I'm sorry, our young master doesn't have any other women with him, so we didn't prepare any women's clothing."

"We'll have to trouble you to wear the same clothes as us, but they're clean, and we hope you won't find them offensive."

Su Ning held the fabric of the clothes in her hand; it was smooth and delicate to the touch. Even the maids wore such fine silks and satins. No wonder it was Luofu Water Pavilion.

"I don't feel wronged at all, Miss Qiu Ci has gone to so much trouble." Su Ning shook her head.

Qiu Ci was quick-witted and efficient. After handing the dress to Su Ning, she left.

When Lou Xianyue saw Su Ning again, the other woman was following behind Qiu Ci. Although the two were wearing the same clothes, the girl behind her had a graceful posture, which made the simple clothes look different.

"Why don't you take off your veil?"

Seeing that Su Ning was still wearing a veil, Lou Xianyue couldn't help but ask another question.

Su Ning touched the light veil covering her face and chuckled softly, "My friends say I'm beautiful, so they tell me not to easily reveal my face to outsiders, otherwise it could be dangerous."

Even someone as worldly-wise as Lou Xianyue was shocked by the other party's shamelessness, even choking on her tea. "Cough cough, your friends certainly know how to talk."

This stopped Kong Qing from expressing her concern.

Only then did he truly take a good look at the girl in front of him.

As the young master of Luofu Water Pavilion, Lou Xianyue had countless women who wanted to marry him, from plump to slender, exquisite and charming.

This was the first time he had ever met such a shameless woman.

Although he acknowledged that the woman before him had a pair of bright and expressive eyes, he didn't mean that she was truly that beautiful, making him want to kidnap her.

"Yes, my friends are all doing well."

Su Ning tilted her head slightly, looking at the boy in front of her.

Looking into those clear, black and white eyes, even Lou Xianyue couldn't say anything more.

"Since it's getting late tonight, please make the effort to stay with my maids. Tomorrow I will send you to Lingzhou City to reunite with your friends."

Lou Xianyue didn't even ask Su Ning's name, nor did she ask the names of her friends.

In his view, tonight was nothing more than saving an insignificant person.

When you're out and about and encounter injustice, as long as it's not excessive, you should help if you can.

Kong Qing had already confirmed the other party's hidden weapon, which meant that what the other party said was probably true. As long as she was sure that the other party was not a bad person, and Lou Xianyue was not such an aloof and cold-hearted person.
