e is excellent, and you're always thinking ahead. Please send me the detailed information on this batch of weaponry. I need to make an assessment. While what you say is enticing, I am a businessman an..."I heard that the entire squad of dark guards following Princess Xiangyi was wiped out. The leader, Jia Shou, had his head chopped off and sent back with the princess."

A man with a dark face said coldly.

This is the first time I've encountered an entire squad of Shadow Guards being wiped out since I joined the Shadow Guard camp.

The man in black spoke to the man with a black face in a low voice.

"Hmph! That Xiangyi isn't a good person at all! Everyone knows what her guards have been up to these years, they just kicked iron this time."

I warned A before, not to be too absolute in doing things. He didn't need to follow that crazy woman's orders every time. But he said I was harming him, which is ridiculous. Now there isn't even a whole body.

The man with the black face said ironically.

"I heard it's the Su Nu Palace. Have you ever heard of this sect"

"I heard that, it is said that the Xu Nü Palace's Xu Nü Xuan Gong can preserve one's youth. That poison woman probably coveted the sect's martial arts, so she went to them."

"Their skill is something they've cultivated since childhood, even if she obtained the technique, she wouldn't have had time to learn it!"

So she must have set her sights on the mistress of Su Nü Palace, coveting the other woman's cultivated inner strength, and ended up disfigured as a result.

"This is what she deserves. If I have the chance in the future, I would love to see for myself how powerful Suxing Palace really is. To be able to wipe out the entire Dark Guard and humiliate Xiangyi, there must be something extraordinary about it."

Although their conversation was kept in hushed tones, they didn't make any effort to avoid people. As others ran past them repeatedly, Xiaoqi caught the words "Su Nü Gong."

At the same time, Xiaoqi also knew that all the guards who brought him back had died in the Susu Palace. However, Xiangyi was still alive, so she still needed guards by her side. This selection was largely for Princess Xiangyi to choose new guards.

He didn't want to be near the vicious woman who killed his parents, so before the final round of the competition, he deliberately smashed his head and fainted, missing the fight and failing to enter the Shadow Guard camp.

After waking up, Xiaoqi didn't complain or make a fuss, nor did he ask about the reason. He continued to immerse himself in training. He wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible, and that meant becoming the best.

Three years later, Xiaoqi successfully passed the assessment and received his own code name, "Bing Qi," becoming a formal dark guard. He belonged to Group Bing, a reserve group for Groups Jia and Yi. When there were major casualties or other tasks in the first two groups, Group Bing would step up. Normally, they were mainly responsible for intelligence gathering.

Three years had passed, and the wounds on Xiang Yi's face had finally healed, but deep scars remained, impossible to conceal with makeup. Every day, Xiang Yi would cover her face with a veil and use the finest medicine to treat them, but there was little improvement.

After learning that the scar on her face couldn't be removed, Xiangyi grew even more resentful of the people from Sù Nǚ Gōng. However, over the past three years, Sù Nǚ Gōng had seemed to vanish from the martial world. The sect disappeared, and no one went around the Jianghu claiming to be from Sù Nǚ Gōng. This completely cut off Xiangyi's path to revenge. She then focused her energy on tormenting those around her.

Sometimes I venture into the world for a bit of excitement. Today, I took in a disciple from a certain sect into my back garden, and tomorrow I'll be taking in the son of a martial arts family as my leading man. I stir up trouble in the martial world, but it's all just small skirmishes. Nothing too outlandish, after all, they're just matters of romance.

After a year trapped within the blood cocoon, ripples finally struggled to break free, reborn with a normal human body.

Su Minyi was the first to discover him. She watched as her young apprentice struggled to break free from the thorny red cocoon, her heart leaping into her throat. She hesitated, unable to take a step forward.

In the end, she still smiled with a ripple, revealing a small white tooth:

"Master, my disciple has succeeded!"

Only then did Su Minyi dart to Lian Yi's side, grabbing her wrist and feeling her pulse carefully. A smile finally appeared on her face.

"Ripples, your meridians are now healthy and undamaged. From now on, you will be free to practice martial arts and swordsmanship without any restrictions."

“Disciple thanks Master for your care. This year has been hard on you, Master! Although I have been sealed within the blood cocoon, I could hear every word Master said. Without Master's company, I couldn't have endured the agony of rebuilding my flesh and bones.”

Ripple clasped the hands of Palace Master Su, smiling and saying.

Susmin gazed at Lian's flushed cheeks, her radiant face now more prominent and taller. Her smile couldn't be concealed.

In the next five years, Lian'er basically didn't leave the mountain gate. She was diligently practicing hard, determined to make up for all that she had fallen behind these years.

In this world that worships martial prowess, if she doesn't want to become someone else's prey, she has to put in more effort. Fortunately, besides the emotional scars, her physique is still decent, even considered extraordinary, especially after being modified by the blood jade bead.

Over the course of five years, Lian Ri's skill had made tremendous progress. Her Xuan Nu Gong had also reached the seventh level. Coupled with her innate divine power, she could now be considered a high-ranking expert in the martial world.

On this day, Lian Ri was still studying the martial arts scroll, when Wang Zhenzhen came over.

"Junior sister, a disciple who returned from training outside brought news. Right now, the martial world is searching for the treasure of Yinzhe Mountain Villa."

"Jade Peak Villa Wasn't it burned down by a fire eighteen years ago"

Ripples naturally knew about the Yingze Mountain Villa, so it pretended to ask.

"Yes, but the mistress of Yingze Mountain Villa is my elder sister."

So, what does Master Zhen mean

What they're looking for is the wealth that the Wang family gave to my sister. These things should have belonged to you originally.

"Me What does Senior Sister Zhen mean by that"

Ripples asked in surprise.

"You are my niece, the daughter of my sister Wang Yinyin, and the rightful heir to Yingze Mountain Villa."

Wang Zhenshen revealed the secret she had kept for eighteen years.

"Ripples, I didn't quite catch that. How do you prove I'm Wang Yingying's daughter And why are you calling my fellow disciples 'sisters' Wasn't I found abandoned as a baby at the foot of the mountain by Senior Brother Suyun"

Ripples asked in confusion.

Her background, Su Minyi had told her before, of course a processed version, so ripples asked this way, Wang Zhenzhen was not surprised, she said another version.

“For your safety, and to prevent Xiangyi from finding you again, this is the only solution I could think of. Your master also agreed. At that time, you were still young and your heart was wounded. I didn't want you to bear too much, so I never told you the truth.”

Now that you're older, you have the right to know the truth. What to do next is up to you, and I will respect your choice.

"Dear Mistress, Dear Aunt, you make me think! This came as a surprise."

Ripples touched the jade pendant at her waist and spoke in a low voice.

"Okay, think about it yourself. I won't disturb you. If you want to know more details, feel free to come find me anytime."

After Wang Zhenzhen left, Lian Yi stood there, chin resting in her palm, deep in thought.

She originally just wanted to live until the millstone found her, but now because of this borrowed body, she has to make a name for herself in the martial arts world.They picked such a convenient time!"The ripples muttered something."My lady, why are you pushing me into the arms of another woman I don't want to cause any scandal with illegitimate children to bothe...
