Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

She was wearing a beige dress, tall and slim, and her movements and words were quite decisive, with a sense of heroic spirit.

Shui Sheng clapped her hands and said happily, "I've heard a lot about Lady Ning's deeds before, and I really admire her for being such a capable lady!"

As he spoke, he looked at Yue Lingshan and smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you to be the daughter of Lady Ning. It's just the right chance for us to meet and get to know each other. It can be said to be fate!"

After hearing this, Yue Lingshan suddenly understood.

It turns out that I had heard about my mother's early deeds in the martial arts world.

Seeing the slight surprise and admiration in Shui Sheng's eyes, Yue Lingshan couldn't help but feel proud.

Her mother is really amazing!

It was then and it is now.

At the same time, he was also quite curious about Shui Sheng's background: "Shui Sheng, since you know my mother's name, I guess your family was originally from the Jianghu martial arts world. Can you tell me about it?"

Shui Sheng hummed, "My father's nickname is [Cold Moon Sword], I wonder if you've heard of it?"

Yue Lingshan's eyes lit up slightly. "Is it the [Cold Moon Sword], one of the Four Wonders of the South? I've heard dad mention him. He's a very remarkable hero!"

Shui Sheng smiled slightly, her delicate and beautiful face becoming even more charming: "The Huashan Sect's [Gentleman Sword] is also well-known..."

The two of them praised each other's father and burst out laughing.

The voice is crisp and soft.

Yue Lingshan smiled for a moment, then softened a bit before asking, "Shui Sheng, how...how did you get here?"

I want to say "draft", but I feel embarrassed.

Shui Sheng's pretty face flushed. Although she had the heroic demeanor of a child of Jianghu, she couldn't help but feel shy when talking about such things. She twirled the hair by her ear with her jade fingers and whispered, "I, I came here to repay a favor."

"Repay a favor?" Yue Lingshan's face turned strange. How could she say this?

Whose favor should I repay? It can't be His Majesty, right?

Shui Sheng pursed her lips and spoke to Yue Lingshan in detail.

It turned out that when she was a rookie, riding a horse and wielding a sword while traveling around the world, she once encountered a group of evil people from the Blood Knife Sect. It was nothing, as she had some martial arts skills from her family, and the horse she rode was a good horse, so even if she couldn't win, she could still run away, which was enough to protect herself.

But unfortunately, the [Blood Knife Ancestor] from the Blood Knife Sect appeared behind her. The other party was very skilled in martial arts, and she, a young girl who had just started out, was no match for him. Seeing her good looks, the other party coveted her and was about to capture her with a knife. At the critical moment, two women with swords came to her rescue.

"The woman with the sword?" Yue Lingshan was very interested in what she heard. Although she was also a girl from the underworld, she rarely ventured out on her own. The only time was when she secretly followed her eldest brother and others south on the trip to Shaolin Temple. But later she knew that her parents had been watching over her, so it could not be said that she ventured out on her own. She could not help but admire Shui Sheng.

The things described in it are as if you are there in person. You will feel happy, nervous, scared and completely engrossed.

Upon hearing that the [Blood Knife Ancestor] was stopped by two sword-wielding women before he could even take action, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was extremely curious and asked questions repeatedly.

"Have you heard of it, Emissary of the Vulture Spirit?" Shui Sheng asked softly.

Yue Lingshan's eyes lit up: "It's the Spirit Vulture Messenger~ I've heard of him!"

It’s more accurate to say that I’ve heard of it rather than heard of it!

In Daqian, who doesn’t know the Lingjiu Messenger, the Taoist with Cloud Patterns, and the Barefoot Doctor?

Although it is not often called this now.

But they are still present at the grassroots level everywhere.

They are also the backbone of government offices, military camps, schools and other places.

It is said that my father's immediate superior was a barefoot doctor and has a lot of experience!

Shui Sheng nodded and continued, "The two Spirit Vulture Emissaries are truly remarkable. The Blood Blade Ancestor was originally a wicked villain, but due to his superior martial arts skills, he was able to act tyrannically and without restraint. Many heroes and heroes in the martial arts world tried to kill him, but none succeeded. However, these two Spirit Vulture Emissaries captured this beast in just ten rounds, severed his tendons in his hands and feet, damaged his Dantian meridians, and crippled his martial arts and internal energy."

Yue Lingshan nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "This is exactly what should be done to such a great villain. It's a pity that he couldn't be killed directly!"

She also knew the name of [Blood Knife Ancestor].

He is just as ruthless and evil as Yun Zhonghe, both of them are rapists.

As a woman, I naturally have a great aversion to these evil villains and rapists who are innocent.

Shui Sheng smiled faintly and said, "In the end, he was indeed beaten to death. The two Spiritual Eagle Messengers didn't mean to spare his life, but they just didn't want to kill him in public."

Yue Lingshan was very pleased: "I told you so! In our Daqian public trials, any villain like this would be sentenced to death. Even though we hadn't started a rebellion at that time, I don't think we would let him off easily."

As she spoke, she looked slightly doubtful: "But then, what is this repayment of gratitude all about?"

Shui Sheng's pretty face flushed. "After being rescued that day, I was very grateful, and I also admired the two messengers. I pestered them to repay me, but the two messengers said: They were all out there specifically following the orders of the Majesty to punish evil and promote good, so if I want to express gratitude, I should express it to the Majesty..."

Yue Lingshan suddenly understood and speculated seriously, "So you secretly fell in love with her? Do you want to repay the emperor?"

Shui Sheng's face was filled with shame. Although she could have admitted it and been vague about it, her personality made her unwilling to lie. She quickly shook her head and said, "I hadn't even met His Majesty at the time, so how could... how could it be as you describe... But what the two messengers said does make sense. My life was saved and I am naturally grateful to His Majesty. I want to repay the favor no matter what."

At the beginning, Fang Han was praised as a great sage by the government and the people, and he was very famous. But because of this, the people tended to portray him as an old man, or at least a middle-aged man.

Shui Sheng was inevitably affected by this at that time. Although she was very grateful and wanted to repay him, she never thought of giving herself to him.

Not to mention the secret love.

Yue Lingshan thought so too. Even the emperor hadn’t seen it. How could a normal person have any other thoughts besides gratitude?

"What then?"

"Then I thought, since I want to repay the favor, I have to meet him in person, so..."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan's eyes widened slightly: "Did you meet His Majesty in Linshui City?"

If so, it would be a great fortune!

"No! No!" Shui Sheng waved her hands hurriedly: "No! I haven't even been there."

At first she didn't even know that the emperor was in Linshui.

Initially, she wanted to ask the two messengers, but how could they explain this to her? After dealing with the Blood Blade Ancestor and the entire Blood Blade Sect, they quickly left.

She had no choice but to go and explore on her own. It took her several months to find out about "Linshui". However, before she could set off, an uprising suddenly broke out in the south of the Yangtze River, which quickly swept across the north and south, causing drastic changes in the entire world. She missed the opportunity.

Due to the chaos outside, she had to return home.

Yue Lingshan sighed and said with great regret, "If you had gone to Linshui City earlier, maybe you would have had the chance to see His Majesty!"

Shui Sheng shook her head: "How could it be so easy to meet a supreme and noble person like His Majesty? Even if I succeed in going to Linshui City, it seems unlikely, but..."

"After such a trip abroad, I have seen and heard a lot of things. Now I know that His Majesty is not just some old gentleman with white hair."

After hearing this, Yue Lingshan finally understood and chuckled softly, "This time, you must have secretly fallen in love with me, right?"

It was a life-saving grace, and the other party was a wise and powerful founding emperor. If they were in each other's places, I'm afraid they would be moved and secretly fall in love.

"..."

Shui Sheng blushed and stammered, "Well...I can't really put it into words, but I really admire and adore you in my heart..."

She couldn't really explain what she was thinking, but one thing was clear: if she missed this talent show, she would probably never be able to repay her gratitude in this lifetime.

With this idea in mind, and not being opposed to it, but rather secretly looking forward to and feeling happy about it, I naturally had the idea of ​​participating in the draft.

When her father Shui Dai learned about this, he also strongly supported it.

Rather, her father and three other uncles were all overjoyed.

As a result, she had a good appearance and figure, so she quickly passed the screening and was eventually arranged to enter the backyard of the palace.

Shui Sheng said, calming down her slightly flustered mood and looking at Yue Lingshan: "Lingshan, what about you? How did you get here?"

This time it was Yue Lingshan's turn to blush: "There's nothing strange about me. Daddy found out about it and asked me to give it a try, and then... that's how it happened."

The two looked at each other and smiled shyly.

After a conversation, the relationship between the two became closer again.

Although the backyard of the imperial palace was not as solemn and austere as imagined, and not as difficult to adapt to, it was still an extremely unfamiliar place after all. They were all little girls, without parents, elders, or even acquaintances around them. So, once they made friends, their feelings naturally warmed up quickly, and they were willing to take care of each other.

In just a few days, Shui Sheng and Yue Lingshan had become extremely close, like close friends, and both of them had gotten to know quite a few people...

(ps: Kawen, it’s so uncomfortable...)

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 574: People I Met! Li Yian!

Among them...

There was a country girl named Qi Fang, who had a simple and honest temperament, was weak and naive. Shui Sheng and Yue Lingshan both liked this shy and lovely girl very much. Seeing that she was in Chuxiu Pavilion, she was just like them, feeling uneasy and acting cautiously, which made them feel pity for her and wanted to take care of her.

There was another daughter of an official named Ling Shuanghua, who was elegant, noble, gentle and virtuous. Both of them were born in the underworld and had some casual habits. They might not look down on people of high status, but they could not help but feel good about such an elegant and beautiful lady who was as gentle as a chrysanthemum, and thus wanted to get close to her.

In addition, in this Chuxiu Pavilion, although hundreds of flowers are blooming, each with its own charm, there is also a beauty that outshines all others. There is a girl named Li Shishi, who is born with an extremely beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament. Not only men will be infatuated with such a girl, but women will also be in a trance when seeing her.

Shui Sheng and Yue Lingshan had met each other from a distance several times, and both of them couldn't help but feel a little inferior to others.

However...what impressed them the most was the woman in front of them, who had a plump yet slender figure, and was as delicate as a willow but smart.

She was born with a pure and extraordinary beauty, dignified and graceful. Her appearance was not ostentatious at first sight, and she was not as stunning as Li Shishi, but the more you looked at her, the more beautiful she became. She was no less beautiful than her, especially the strong scholarly air she exuded. Her words and actions made these girls who wielded swords and spears in the martial arts world feel inferior!

"What's your sister's name?"

The woman smiled slightly, gentle and reserved, and said in a clear voice: "My surname is Li, and my courtesy name is Yi'an. May I know what your names are, my three elder sisters?"

Yue Lingshan blinked her eyes: "Li Yian? What a nice name~"

I don't know if it's good or not, but it sounds nice.

Then, she pointed at herself and the other two with a smile, introducing them one by one: "I don't deserve to be called sister. My name is Yue Lingshan, she is Shui Sheng, and this is Qi Fang~"

The four of them got to know each other and had a rough understanding of each other.

Shui Sheng looked at Li Yi'an's appearance and charm, secretly cheering and praising her, "Sister, you are so beautiful. In this Chuxiu Pavilion, you are a beauty picked out of a hundred."

Chuxiu Pavilion is a place where the best of the world's talents gather. To be able to stand out in such a place, one can imagine how beautiful the person is.

Li Yian shook her head slightly and said modestly: "Miss Shui Sheng, you are too kind. Look at you, you are also very beautiful, far more beautiful than me."

Then he looked at Yue Lingshan and Qi Fang, praising their looks repeatedly.

But soon, the subject changed, and he asked about something earlier: "Just now, I saw Miss Shui Sheng standing by the pavilion, dancing with a sword. The cold moon was like frost, and her gracefulness was like a startled wild goose reflecting its shadow. It was truly a beautiful sword dance! I wonder if there's a name for it?"

Shui Sheng's face flushed, and she said shyly, "This is the [Cold Moon Sword Technique] inherited from my family, but it incorporates some of the sword techniques evolved from the [Small Zhoutian Gong] to make it more refined. It looks... beautiful, but not very useful. I'm not very talented and knowledgeable, and my realm is low. I'm really sorry for showing off my skills, and I don't deserve such praise."

Although the Chuxiu Pavilion is located within the imperial palace, there are actually no restrictions on weapons. In addition, the female officials have nothing to do except learning etiquette and rules. Therefore, there is a lot of time left in the day and a lot of leisure time.

After she came here and got familiar with the place a little, she did not give up practicing martial arts. Instead, she discussed and studied with Yue Lingshan. Although Qi Fang came from a farming family in the countryside, she also knew a lot of swordsmanship. The three of them had common topics.

Li Yi'an's eyes lit up slightly. "Miss Shui Sheng has a family background in martial arts, so I guess her martial arts skills are not weak? To be honest, my family has a long tradition of poetry and literature. I have been quite familiar with calligraphy, painting, and poetry since I was a child. However, when it comes to martial arts, I am not very good at it. I studied in that school for several months and a half, but I only learned the basics. Hmm... If there is a chance in the future, I wonder if I can ask for your advice?"

Shui Sheng, Yue Lingshan, and Qi Fang were all a little surprised when they heard this.

Shui Sheng regained her composure and quickly waved her hands, "What's the big deal? You're too polite, sister. As long as I know something, I will tell you everything I know!"

Then, she smiled and said, "Actually, Lingshan and the others are quite accomplished in martial arts. You can ask them for advice."

Li Yian looked at the two of them with a look of delight: "Really?"

Yue Lingshan patted her chest and said, "Of course! This is what I'm best at. My martial arts performance in the academy is always among the best~"

This is not a lie.

After all, he was born in Huashan Sect, a famous sect in the world. Although Huashan Sect was severely damaged due to the sword energy dispute and is far from its heyday, it still has some foundation. He was taught and guided in martial arts by Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze since he was a child. I can't say how high his martial arts skills are, but at least his martial arts foundation is solid.

Later, he entered the school and was favored by the martial arts teacher, who taught him a lot of superior and exquisite knowledge. His martial arts skills improved greatly and he made rapid progress.

Among the three of them now, if you compare them carefully, Yue Lingshan is the one with the best martial arts.

Qi Fang said shyly, "My little sister...can't compare to Sister Shui Sheng and Sister Ling Shan. I only know a little bit."

Li Yian sighed, "Miss Qi Fang is too modest. This little bit is enough to teach a shallow person like me."

He looked at Yue Lingshan and smiled slightly: "Miss Lingshan, please feel free to give me some advice when the time comes."

"Yeah, no problem!" Yue Lingshan said with a smile. After that, she seemed to think of something and said, "I think your sister Yi An must be a very learned person. Can I ask you about this in the future?"

In the past, she actually didn't have much interest in reading and literature. It was enough for her to be able to understand the words and read the books. But since it involved some more advanced martial arts, especially internal strength, without some knowledge and insights, she might not be able to understand it thoroughly, let alone practice martial arts well.

Therefore, in this regard, you still need to have a certain level of accomplishment.

Shui Sheng and Qi Fang also looked at Li Yian with some anticipation.

"Of course~" Li Yian chuckled and agreed directly.

The four of them sat in the pavilion chatting and laughing, and gradually became more familiar with each other.
