After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Does this also mean that Xuan Ji trusts himself?

The owner of Tianxuan Villa has always had unpredictable whereabouts, like a ghost, but Xuanji instructed Boss Yun to tell him his whereabouts truthfully.

Nian Susu couldn't help but be moved.

Her tone softened: "Boss Yun, do you know where he went? When will he come back? Or...is there any way to contact him?"

She didn't dare to mention the poisoning rashly, for fear that Xuanji was hiding it and she would reveal it to others.

Yun Jianfeng replied: "I only know that he will take the disciples of Tianxuan Villa to Dongling to participate in the martial arts competition in the next few days. As for when he will come back... it's hard to say."

"Martial arts competition?" It was the first time that Nian Susu heard this word.

It can't be some kind of gang fight, right?

Unexpectedly, it was almost the same as she thought.

Yun Jianfeng took a sip of tea, looked out the window into the distance, with an emotional expression, as if he wanted to have a long talk with her.

"The martial arts competition is the most valuable competition in the martial arts world. It is held every five years and organizations sign up to participate. Whoever wins first place in the competition will become the best in the martial arts world and take over the major escort agencies in the four fortresses of the east, west, south and north. Winning a battle can make you rich.

Tianxuan Villa became famous after a battle five years ago, and it has been growing bigger and bigger in the past five years. In the beginning, there were many people who were dissatisfied, but now several major organizations regard Tianxuan Villa as a thorn in their eyes and want to drag Xuan Ji down.

They keep making small moves in secret, Xuan Ji has had enough of them, this time he is going to give them a good beating! "

Nian Susu was stunned when he heard this, but he understood what it meant.

Xuan Ji's attendance at the meeting was not only to maintain his number one position in the martial arts world, but also to take the opportunity to suppress other organizations so that they would not dare to make any more secret moves.

Today is the first day of the new year. Xuan Ji's poison attacks once every half a month, which means that he has just suffered a painful torture a few days ago. His vitality is seriously damaged. Wouldn't he be at a disadvantage if he fights with others in this situation?

She frowned and asked tentatively, "Is your kind of competition... friendship first and competition second?"

Yun Jianfeng laughed at her naivety.

His eyes darkened, and he approached her with a murderous and treacherous look, and said in a deliberately threatening tone: "Honor first, life second."

Nian Susu felt a chill down his spine, and his fingertips on the table trembled.

She only knew that Tianxuan Villa was the largest organization in the martial arts world, but she didn't expect that there were so many difficulties behind this honor.

Isn't that the mystery...

Yun Jianfeng sat back and let out a long sigh, "But you don't have to worry too much. Only organizations participating in the competition for the first time need leaders to take part. After that, all the competitions will be fought by the subordinates.

Xuan Ji is just going through the motions at most, exchanging ideas with the leaders of other organizations, and he will stop there and no one will be killed."

After hearing this, Nian Susu felt relieved.

"Thank you, Boss Yun, for telling me this." She smiled and picked up the teacup. "I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine. When Xuanji comes back, let him treat you to a meal."

She was asking all this because she was worried about the poison in Xuanji's body, so of course he had to ask for it.

But this sentence has profound meaning to Yun Jianfeng.

He smiled and said nothing, and returned the gift with a cup of tea.

When Nian Susu came out of Yuanlai Restaurant, the sun was setting and the snow had stopped.

I didn't expect that she had stayed here for so long. I don't know if Yang Yuerong would become suspicious and send someone to look for her.

With a nervous heart, Nian Susu returned to the east wing.

Zhihua and Jingzhe were making snowmen in the yard. When they saw her come back, they had the same expression and pointed at three snowmen in the yard to show her.

Zhihua: "Miss, look! How's the snowman?"

Jingzhe raised his chin and said proudly: "Two of these were made by me!"

When Nian Susu didn't hear them say that Yang Yuerong came to see him, he felt relieved. He put all his thoughts aside and ran over to make a snowman with them.

There were three snowmen, obviously three of them, two were exquisite and one was crude. But because their shapes were similar, it was hard to tell which one was which.

Jingzhe pointed at the taller snowman and said excitedly, "This is me." He moved his fingertips to the snowman in the middle, "This is the eldest lady." Finally, he pointed at the shortest snowman and laughed, "Hahaha... This is Zhihua!"

Zhihua knew that he was laughing at the ugly snowman she made. Jingzhe had laughed several times when it was just taking shape. However, she had no experience and her snowman could not be as fast or beautiful as his, so she could only endure it silently.

Now that the young lady is back, Zhihua feels that someone is backing her up, so she grabs a handful of snow and throws it at Jingzhe.

Jingzhe jumped to the side, the snow dust didn't stain the edge of his robe at all, he looked smug, "Hey, what do you think? You can't hit me, right?"

Zhihua smiled wickedly, stood up, put his hands on his hips, and kicked the head of the snowman representing "Qingzhe" into pieces, leaving only half of the body lying there alone.

Jingzhe was anxious, "How could you do this!"

Zhihua snorted complacently and was too lazy to argue with him anymore. She pulled Nian Susu together and prepared to build a new one.

Seeing that they were having fun, Nian Susu felt happy too.

Jingzhe was only angry for a while, then happily joined the two of them, moving snow and compacting it...

They played until dark, when someone from the kitchen came to serve the meal. The three of them reluctantly washed their hands and ate.

Nian Susu was originally a modern person and did not care much about status or class, so she left Jingzhe and Zhihua in the room to eat with her.

After playing for a whole day, the two were already very hungry. They didn't care about any rules or etiquette, and just picked up the bowls and ate voraciously.

The dishes on the table were all eaten up, and most of them were eaten by Jingzhe.

After eating and drinking, Nian Susu asked them to go back to their rooms to rest.

She was bored, so she took a few books from the bookshelf and started reading. They were all obscure ancient Chinese texts, even more boring than the classical Chinese she learned in high school. There was really nothing interesting to read. She threw the books on the desk, and then walked to the dressing table as if possessed.

Nian Susu pulled out a stool and sat down, then opened the last drawer of her dressing table, where a jade bracelet lay.

She took it in her hand. The jade was cold and her fingertips couldn't help but tremble.

After looking at it for a while, she put the jade bracelet on her wrist. Her slender wrist had an indescribable delicate temperament with the jade bracelet.

As I was admiring the view, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Nian Susu was so scared that he stood up and bumped his elbow, knocking the dressing box on the table down. "Crack!" There was a sound of wood breaking.

This noise frightened her so much that her throat was raised.

She glanced at the scattered red hairpins and the broken dressing box on the ground, and didn't care about them at all. She walked hurriedly to the bed, took out a dagger from under the pillow, and held it tightly in her hand.

Ever since she was kidnapped by the murderous devil once, she has become extremely cautious and careful. The slightest noise at night can make her hold her breath in fear.

After the dressing box broke with a loud noise, the knocking on the door stopped. This was the most terrifying thing.

Nian Susu clenched the dagger and walked closer to the door.

"Who?" she asked bravely, her voice trembling a little.

There was silence outside the door for a long time before a faint voice came: "Miss Nian..."
