When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

Qin Yunfeng was just about to find an excuse to leave this dangerous place, but his attention was attracted by Jiang Song's sudden request.

He stopped and looked at the girl in front of him with deep eyes. Although she was dressed simply, her eyes flashed with indomitable spirit and tenacity, which formed a sharp contrast with the vanity and indifference around her.

So he asked, "Marquis Jiang, who is this?"

"This is my third daughter, Jiang Song." Jiang Buli's tone was somewhat reluctant, but due to the presence of many people, he had to introduce her reluctantly.

Qin Yunfeng raised his eyebrows slightly. "Oh? Miss Jiang San, we were invited here today to observe your sister's martial arts. Since you have such an ambition, why don't you just demonstrate it directly so that I and the other elders can witness it together?"

"How dare you, a foolish concubine, speak so arrogantly here!" Du Shulan was furious. "Go back to where you came from and stop embarrassing yourself here!"

Even if the mistress of another family dislikes a concubine's daughter, she will at least consider her face and will not scold her in public to such an extent.

But Du Shulan is known for her domineering behavior among the noble ladies in the imperial capital, and she even turned a blind eye to Jiang Song and her daughter. Today's anger is just another outburst of her daily emotions.

"Shulan, shut up!" Jiang Buli finally couldn't help but stop Du Shulan. He knew very well that today's occasion was special. If he allowed Du Shulan to continue making trouble, not only would he lose face, but it might also affect the reputation of the Jiang family.

He turned to Jiang Song with a cold expression, "Song'er, since Dean Qin has spoken, you should give it a try. If you're not sure, don't force it."

"My Lord..." Du Shulan twisted her handkerchief, looking unwilling, but she didn't dare to refute anymore. She just glared at Jiang Song with resentment.

Although Jiang Song's heart was in turmoil, his face remained remarkably calm. He bowed slightly to Qin Yunfeng and said, "Thank you, Dean Qin, for giving me this opportunity."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the training ground that had been prepared long ago in the courtyard. There, various weapons on the weapon racks were shining coldly in the setting sun.

Jiang Song did not choose a gorgeous long sword or a heavy knife or axe, but lightly took out a pair of daggers.

This pair of daggers was what she used for secret practice. Although inconspicuous, they were extremely handy.

She stood in the center of the martial arts arena, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on her. Opposite her was Jiang Dahai, the guard of the Jiang Mansion, a battle-hardened warrior who was temporarily serving as a sparring partner.

Du Shulan winked at Jiang Dahai, signaling him not to show mercy and let this ignorant concubine suffer a little so that she would know what real martial arts are.

Although Jiang Dahai had some concerns, he had no choice but to fight because of the mistress's order.

Third Miss, it’s just your bad luck that you offended someone you shouldn’t have offended.

Jiang Dahai sighed inwardly, then adjusted his breathing, got into position, and prepared for the upcoming confrontation.

However, he did not expect that this concubine's daughter who had been submissive for many years would show a completely different style in the battle.

Jiang Song, wielding a short sword, moved lithely, as if dancing with the wind. She didn't rush to attack, but instead used a set of flowing movements to nimbly maneuver around the arena, leaving Jiang Dahai momentarily unable to predict her movements.

Jiang Dahai thought Jiang Song was just a show-off and didn't take him seriously. Although his attack was fierce at first, he was gradually confused by Jiang Song's seemingly casual but methodical steps, and his attack gradually became chaotic.

In the audience, the guests initially just wanted to watch the fun, but gradually, their expressions became solemn.

Although Jiang Song's body movements have not yet reached perfection, they have already taken shape. Every move and every form seems so precise and powerful, as if she did not learn it in a moment, but rather after years of hard training.

She combined the flexibility of the short sword with her own light steps, sometimes rushing forward, sometimes making detours, causing headaches for veteran warriors like Jiang Dahai.

"What a smart girl!" Qin Yunfeng couldn't help but applaud, with a gleam of approval in his eyes.

He could see that although Jiang Song's body movements and swordsmanship were not taught by a famous orthodox sect, they had a wild and unruly charm. It was obvious that she had created a unique fighting style that suited her based on her own observation and understanding.

This girl is extremely talented. If she can be trained properly, she will become a great person in the future.

Du Shulan's expression grew increasingly grim. She had been paving the way for her own daughter, only to be upstaged by this concubine's daughter. Her hatred intensified as she watched Jiang Song's performance in the martial arts arena.

"Hmph, it's just some trifling tricks." Although Du Shulan was unwilling to accept it, she still tried to save face. She sneered and whispered to Jiang Dahai, "Don't let her get too proud. Show us your true abilities."

Jiang Dahai was startled when he heard this. He quickly adjusted his state and prepared to launch a more fierce attack.

Unfortunately, Jiang Song had already seen through his intentions. He curled up a faint smile on his lips, and with a flash of his body, he actually took the initiative to attack.

This time, her attack was no longer the previous probing and fighting, but became extremely fierce. The daggers were like two lightning bolts, drawing gorgeous arcs in the air and heading straight for Jiang Dahai's vital points.

Although Jiang Dahai was shocked, he remained calm and quickly raised his sword to block, but Jiang Song's swordsmanship was like flowing water, continuous and hard to defend against.

After several rounds, Jiang Dahai was sweating profusely and panting, but Jiang Song was still at ease and his offensive continued unabated.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, the long sword in Jiang Dahai's hand was hit by Jiang Song's short sword, flew out of his hand, and nailed heavily to the ground in the distance.

There was silence in the martial arts arena.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Song, this usually unknown concubine's daughter, who at this moment displayed amazing strength.

"Good!" Qin Yunfeng was the first to applaud, breaking the silence. "Miss Jiang San, you really didn't disappoint me."

Jiang Song put away his dagger and bowed deeply to Qin Yunfeng, "Thank you, Dean Qin, for your compliment."

She turned to look at Jiang Buli and Du Shulan with a calm expression, "Father, Mother, I am not talented, but I was lucky enough to win. I wonder if I am qualified to apply for Fengwu Academy?"

Jiang Buli's expression was somewhat complicated. He was surprised by Jiang Song's strength, but also felt an inexplicable sense of loss. When did this concubine's daughter become so powerful?

Du Shulan gritted her teeth and stared at Jiang Song hatefully, but she had nothing to say.

"Of course." Jiang Buli smiled for the first time, though it seemed a little stiff. "Song'er, I didn't know your strength before, but now it seems that you are indeed the pride of our Jiang family."

"Thank you, father." Jiang Song bowed slightly. She knew that this was just a polite remark from her father, but she was already satisfied that she could get what she wanted.

"Lord Jiang, this trip for Qin is not in vain. Your daughter is extremely talented. If she continues her studies at Fengwu Academy in the future, she will surely reach a higher level." Qin Yunfeng said with a smile, his heart full of expectations for Jiang Song.

Jiang Buli nodded in agreement, seemingly regaining some of the face he had lost in front of his colleagues. He secretly thought that this concubine's daughter might actually bring glory to the Jiang family in the future.

Du Shulan's mood was completely different. She looked at Jiang Song with a sinister look in her eyes. This damned concubine dared to be so arrogant in front of her. She would never let it go!

In contrast, Jiang Jun, who has been regarded as a favored girl since childhood, now looks gloomy. Her former glory seems so dim under Jiang Song's amazing performance.

This third sister is so resourceful that she has been hiding such profound strength, and she has never noticed it before.

After the incident at the martial arts arena, Jiang Song was completely exposed to danger.

Du Shulan would not miss any opportunity to suppress her, and the seeds of jealousy were planted in Jiang Jun's heart.

That night, Du Shulan "invited" her biological mother Cui Qiuyun to the courtyard to talk. After she came back, she fell ill and passed away a few days later.

Jiang Song knew that Du Shulan must have been involved, and he cried to Jiang Buli many times, but was always ignored.

Du Shulan even took the opportunity to throw dirty water on Jiang Song as an "unlucky person", falsely accusing her of killing her biological mother and perhaps even the whole family.

In that era when people paid attention to fortune-telling, such rumors were enough to ruin a person.
