The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

At the same time, Mo Cerong, who had been standing nearby, also fixed his gaze on Su Yanhua. His deep eyes were now filled with concern. After a closer look, he could easily see that she had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and her face looked a little haggard.

However, facing the gazes of astonishment, curiosity, and concern, Su Yanhua ignored them. She walked forward calmly, each step appearing light and graceful, and finally stopped steadily in front of Xing Jian.

Their eyes met, and for a split second, time seemed to stand still. Meeting again, Su Yanhua acted unusually calm and natural, as if the person before her was just an ordinary stranger.

"Okay, sir, I accept the challenge!" She opened her red lips and said lightly, her tone firm and calm.

OK, young master!

Oh, have you treated him as a stranger so quickly?

This woman is so cruel!

An unknown fire surged in Xing Jian's heart, and he raised his eyebrows, revealing his evil charm.

"Okay, General Su is decisive!"

……

The two men stood on either side of the platform, staring at each other. It seemed like in a flash, Xing Jian took the first step.

He couldn't stand it anymore. He thought that the moment he saw Su Yanhua, Su Yanhua would feel guilty and sad, but he didn't expect Su Yanhua's attitude to be so cold, so cold that she treated him as a stranger. Looking at such indifferent Su Yanhua, he wanted to break her indifference.

Su Yanhua was naturally merciless. She appeared casual and calm on the surface, but the moment she saw Xing Jian, her heart was trembling. She scanned his body and found that he was even thinner than before.

She was no longer qualified to say anything. She still remembered that this was Nalan's venue and she had to help Nalan save face, so she had to win this game!

In the following match, Su Yanhua was ruthless and every move was fatal, which made Xing Jian so angry that he felt a blood clot in his heart.

Okay, for Nalan Yanyu, you don’t show any mercy at all. Do you like Nalan Yanyu so much?

Xing Jian felt that the anger in his heart was about to ignite him. Although he was angry, he didn't want to hurt her, so he could only dodge in a hurry.

Just as the sword in Su Yanhua's hand was about to mercilessly pierce Xing Jian's body with a cold flash of light, suddenly, a hasty and panicked figure rushed over like a gust of wind and stood in front of Xing Jian without hesitation.

Su Yanhua's heart suddenly jumped. She quickly shook her wrist and spun the sword, trying to retract the blade. However, due to the suddenness of the incident and the haste of her movements, the extremely sharp blade accidentally cut her arm during the rotation. A sharp, burning pain instantly hit her, causing her brow to frown.

Looking closely, he saw that the person running towards him was not someone else, but the woman who had been silently following Xing Jian the entire time—Xing Jian's fiancée. Her face was pale, her body trembling slightly, but her eyes were fixed firmly on Su Yanhua.

Xing Jian frowned upon seeing this, his face filled with worry and anger. He shouted in a deep voice, "What are you doing here? Don't you know this is dangerous? You're simply throwing your life away!"

Hearing Xing Jian's rebuke, the woman pouted her cherry lips slightly, her eyes gradually reddening, revealing a trace of inexplicable grievance. But she still said stubbornly, "I... I can't just stand by and watch others hurt you! Even if there's the slightest possibility, I won't allow it!"

Hearing this, Xing Jian couldn't help but feel touched and sympathetic. He reached out and gently stroked the woman's hair, saying soothingly, "Don't be afraid. Don't worry. No one can hurt me so easily."

Su Yanhua, standing nearby, silently watched the heartwarming yet dazzling scene unfold before her. Her heart felt as if pierced by thousands of needles simultaneously, the pain unbearable. She slowly lowered her eyelids, trying to hide the unconcealable sadness and loss in her eyes.

After a moment, Su Yanhua took a deep breath, raised his head and looked directly at Xing Jian, and said coldly: "Master Xing, you lose this competition!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Jian didn't respond immediately. Instead, he gazed deeply into Su Yanhua's beautiful yet cold eyes. After a long moment, he spoke slowly in an unusually strange tone, "If Qingqing hadn't stopped him in time, I'd have thought General Su was determined to kill me today. I wonder why General Su harbors such a deep hatred for me?"

"Yes, girl, it's just a competition. How can you be so cruel!" Qingqing said dissatisfiedly.

Su Yanhua's heart suddenly surged with a nameless fire, blazing fiercely. She would never intentionally hurt Xing Jian; she had even carefully calculated the distance between them. Yet, faced with the situation before her, she chose to remain silent, disdaining any explanation. Was this scene unfolding to demonstrate to her the so-called deep love between husband and wife?

"It was Xing Jian who took the initiative to propose the competition. If anything unexpected happens, it will be his own fault. On the battlefield, with swords flashing and lives and deaths fought, how can there be even a trace of mercy!" Su Yanhua responded bluntly, her voice cold and resolute.

Nalan Yanyu couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. Su Yanhua had always been so calm and composed, never panicking in the face of adversity, but today she had spoken so harshly. It was as if she had completely lost her usual calmness and composure, and this made Nalan Yanyu feel a little panicky deep down.

"You brought this upon yourself?" Xing Jian's lips curled up slightly, a sneer etched in his lips. "Does toying with others' feelings like that count as deserved punishment? This young master never expected the great General Su to be so eloquent and righteous!"

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed.

Nalan Yanyu, in particular, had his eyes instantly sharpened like a hawk. He stood up almost straight and shouted anxiously, "Enough! This competition is officially over! Next, the real recruitment meeting will begin immediately."
