At the foot of Wuhua Mountain, some storytellers stopped to tell the people at the foot of the mountain the exciting events that had happened in the past few days.

The poetry and martial arts competitions in recent days have been very exciting. Let’s talk about the literary test first. The daughter of Mr. Liu is named Liu Qing. She won the first place in the literary test, which amazed the world. It is said that Mr. Liu’s daughter is a girl from the countryside. When she first entered the mansion, she didn’t know the rules and etiquette, and was bullied by her two elder sisters. But fortunately, she was well-behaved and smart, and Old Lady Liu loved her very much, even surpassing her own granddaughter.

Some time ago, she outshined everyone else at the Queen's Hundred Flowers Banquet, bringing honor to the Liu family and receiving many rewards. Mr. Liu and Old Madam Liu took a liking to her and asked her to participate in the Poetry and Martial Arts Conference.

Liu Qing lived up to expectations and emerged like a rising star, becoming famous.

Elsewhere, in the martial arts test, the young master of the Chu family, dressed in white and radiant with elegance, overwhelmed the competition in the arena with his skills. His opponent was defeated by Chu Wuqi in less than three moves, his martial arts prowess truly astonishing. The other person was the astonishing noblewoman of Lingcheng, Su Yanhua. Her name revealed her to be Prince Mo's fiancée and General Su's legitimate daughter.

The reason why she was so shocking was that she participated in the martial arts test, which was usually only for men.

She was the first woman to take part in the martial arts test. Her opponents were not those who only showed fancy moves, but martial arts masters from various major martial arts circles. They had profound internal strength and had practiced more martial arts than we eat.

Su Yanhua was just a young woman who knew some martial arts and didn't even have any internal strength.

Do you think that Su Yanhua will definitely lose at this time? You are wrong, absolutely wrong!

Su Yanhua showed her prowess on the first day and won a victory. Then in the second martial arts test, she faced Li Hao from the Tyrannical Sect and won another victory. Her martial arts were unexpected and her moves were fierce, making it impossible to resist.

All the martial arts masters went from looking down on her at the beginning to now having to look this determined woman in the face, and they all admired her immensely.

It has to be said that Su Yanhua is full of vigor and has superb martial arts skills. Despite her small body, she has the courage and tenacity that is no less than that of men. She is definitely a hero among women.

The storyteller said solemnly, "The day after tomorrow will be the day when Su Yanhua and Chu Wuqi, the son of the Chu family, will face off. Whoever wins will be determined first."

The storyteller waved his hand and placed two mahogany plates among the crowd. The people were so excited that they came forward to place bets.

In a moment, the two mahogany plates were flattened. It was already late, the people had dispersed, and only the storyteller was left packing up his business.

He couldn't help laughing as he looked at the huge sum of money he had earned.

"Shh-"

A knife was thrust into the mahogany box holding gold and silver against the sound of the wind, and the blade reflected the storyteller's shocked eyes.

He looked at the person who came, dressed in black, even his face was covered.

His face turned into fear, and he screamed in panic and ran away.

"Someone, help."

The woman in black came over and grabbed him, saying in a deep voice, "If you scream again, I'll kill you."

The storyteller was so frightened that his whole body was shaking as he nodded.

The woman in black tapped him a few times to untie his acupoints. The man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, as if he was hit by an electric current, and he couldn't help but scream.

At this moment, the woman in black stuffed a pill into his mouth. She tapped his waist again, and he couldn't help but swallow it.

Feeling the pill had entered his body, his face changed: "What did you give me to eat?"

The woman said coldly: "A good thing to make you obedient."

At this moment, the storyteller also understood that this woman must have something to ask of him, which was why she was threatening him in this way.

"what are you up to?"

The woman took out a silver hairpin and placed it in front of him.

"Look carefully at this silver hairpin. If anyone asks you about Su Yanhua, connect this silver hairpin with Su Yanhua. When people see it, they will know it belongs to Su Yanhua."

The storyteller didn't expect that Su Yanhua had just become famous and someone was already causing trouble for her.

He said blankly: "I can't do this."

The next moment, a flying knife grazed the storyteller's neck, and a slight pain woke him up. He was now the fish on her chopping board, and it was not his turn to say no.

The woman said viciously, "If you don't explain it to me nicely, I'll cut off your tongue."

His body couldn't stop shaking and his head kept clicking like a dice.

"After the martial arts test, the antidote will be delivered naturally. If you don't do as instructed, you will die from the poison."

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Su Ruoxi, upon learning that her silver hairpin had fallen into Su Yanhua's hands, grew restless. Although Mo Cerong had expressed his trust in her, he would not act to retrieve the hairpin for her. Instead, he would wait until the Dali Temple confirmed her as the murderer before defending and judging her. She knew that no matter what, she would be safe in the end.

However, Mo Cerong's method of protecting her was aboveboard, but it would inevitably damage her reputation. Those noble women would then undoubtedly mock her behind her back. If she had truly committed a crime, that would be fine. But in reality, she hadn't done any of these things; she was simply using them as a pretext to murder Qian Dabian. Once Su Yanhua handed the silver hairpin over to the Dali Temple, it would only be a matter of time before they found her. She would never tolerate such a thing happening!

The maid opened the door, and Su Ruoxi immediately stood up straight and asked impatiently, "Is there any news from Su Yanhua?"

The maid replied, "The young lady went somewhere today and hasn't returned yet. However, I saw Cui'er sneaking towards the mountain with something in her arms."

Su Ruoxi was shocked. He was acting so sneaky and holding something. Her eyes widened instantly: Could it be that he was going to hand over the silver hairpin to the Dali Temple?

……

Deep in the dense forest, thousand-year-old trees rise from the ground, their treetops stacked like a sea of ​​clouds. Sunlight penetrates the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

The light and shadow of the bamboo leaves fell on Cui'er's face. She hurried up the mountain. Suddenly she stopped and looked at the person who came.

"Second Miss, what are you doing?"

Who else could be blocking her way if not Su Ruoxi?

Su Ruoxi glanced at her whole body, and finally fixed her eyes on the package in Cui'er's hand.

Cui'er felt her gaze and couldn't help but tighten her hands around the package.

Seeing Cui'er so nervous, Su Ruoxi was sure that there must be a silver hairpin inside.

Su Yanhua is really good at it. She knew that she had been paying attention to her, so she suddenly disappeared and let her focus all her energy on finding her. If her maid hadn't been paying attention, she wouldn't have known that Cui'er had handed the silver hairpin to the Dali Temple!

"Cui'er, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Cui'er glanced at her nervously and stammered, "This servant...this servant went to deliver something to the prince."

Su Ruoxi snorted coldly and said, "The prince's Zen temple is at the foot of the mountain, and you clearly want to go to the top of Wuhua Mountain. Tell me, is the thing in your hand my silver hairpin?"

Cui'er's face was in a panic. She took the things in her hand behind her and said awkwardly: "Of course not, there are just some snacks in here."

Su Ruoxi was even more unconvinced. Why would Su Yanhua be so kind as to send snacks to Mo Cerong?

Su Ruoxi didn't want to argue with Cui'er anymore, so she motioned the maid next to her to come forward.

The maid was tall and had good hands. She walked up to Cui'er, locked her hands, and took the package away.

Cui'er pleaded quickly, "Second Miss, this is really just a snack. I don't know where your silver hairpin is!"

It's just a few snacks, why bother so much?

She curled her lips and smiled, Su Yanhua, Su Yanhua, you want to hold something against me, it's impossible!
