Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

After that, Lingyan stopped talking about the topic and looked at Jiang Muxue seriously, saying, "You must always remember that your father is a famous and respected hero. You have been learning martial arts and military strategy from him since you were a child. The boudoir is not a place for you. You should roam freely in the vast world outside. You should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and realize your childhood dream, instead of having regrets for the rest of your life."

"You are a swan who can have your own world, not a canary confined to your boudoir. Never give up your dreams for anyone, especially a man. No one is worth it. Do you understand?"

Lingyan's words were powerful and resonant, each sentence touching the heart.

Jiang Muxue had suddenly seen the light and completely understood.

She seemed to have already seen that vast world that belonged to her, and felt that long-lost passion and dream.

So she said loudly and boldly, "Xiao Yan'er is right. I shouldn't waste my talent and ambition. I should devote myself to the battlefield and make contributions!"

Lingyan greatly admired her for her strong sense of love and hate, and her ability to let go.

But what the heck is "Little Smoke"?

She said speechlessly, "Come on, I don't like this."

Jiang Muxue stubbornly replied, "I won't change it. I like this nickname. Besides, I'm three years older than you. What's wrong with calling me Xiaoyan'er?"

Ling Yan was speechless again.

She lived to be thirty in her previous life, and with this life added in, she's way older than her!

She simply couldn't accept being called "Little Smoke" by someone so much younger than her.

So Lingyan demanded again, "It must be changed!"

Jiang Muxue saw that she really didn't like the title, so she conceded and said, "Okay, then think of one for me! But let's make it clear first, it can't be the same as those men of yours."

After thinking for a moment, Lingyan said, "Then you can call me Ya Ya."

In her past life, when her mother had a toothache, she called her Yanyan, but because her gums were swollen and she couldn't speak, she called her Yaya instead.

So her mother sometimes calls her Ya Ya, which is also her nickname.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muxue immediately exclaimed joyfully, "Ya Ya, that sounds so beautiful, Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya Ya..."

Lingyan remained silent.

She looked at her and teased, "So you've stopped pretending and completely revealed your true nature, letting loose and being yourself?"

Jiang Muxue burst into laughter upon hearing this and replied, "I'm not pretending anymore! I'm so tired of pretending for so many years. This is the real me! I can speak loudly without worrying about any rules, and I can laugh however I want!"

Lingyan was very pleased and happy to see her like this.

Then she smiled and looked at her again, saying, "It's almost dawn, so let me give you one last piece of advice."

Jiang Muxue smiled and looked at her expectantly, replying, "I'm all ears."

Ling Yan then gazed at Jiang Muxue, her face beaming with a warm smile, and said softly, "You were born to be a mountain, not a stream; you were born to be a hero, not a weed; you were born to be a pine tree, not a willow; you were born to be an eagle, not a sparrow; you were born to be a star, not a firefly; you were born to stand atop the peaks and look down upon the mediocre valleys."

Jiang Muxue stared silently at Ling Yan, unable to utter a sound.

She was so shocked by these words that she choked up.

Then, as Ling Yan finished speaking, her gaze gradually became firm and ardent.

Her eyes were fixed on Ling Yan, as if she wanted to etch every word into her heart.

Just then, the sky brightened, and the sunrise pierced the dark sky like a sharp sword.

The dazzling light gently shone on Lingyan, outlining her beautiful figure.

Jiang Muxue was momentarily dazed. She felt that the light did not come from the rising sun, but from the person opposite her.

The light was so warm and so bright that it stirred an unprecedented power within her.

Jiang Muxue's eyes gradually welled up with tears.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excited emotions.

Then she tilted her head back slightly, letting the warm sunlight fall on her face.

She felt the gentle warmth, as if it were a touch from fate.

Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved yet hopeful smile.

She looked at Ling Yan with an unprecedented gleam in her eyes and said, "I've always felt as insignificant as dust, but your words make me realize that I'm not like that."

Jiang Muxue blinked, trying to stop the tears from blurring her vision.

She wanted to see Ling Yan more clearly, to see the person who gave her boundless strength.

"I will remember your words, and I will strive to become the person you described."

Jiang Muxue's voice was firm and powerful, and her eyes were full of determination and courage: "I will no longer be afraid, I will no longer back down. I will stand tall like a mountain, forge ahead like a hero, be as tenacious as a pine tree, soar through the sky like an eagle, and shine as brightly as a star."

At this moment, Jiang Muxue exuded a completely new aura—a passion that had been ignited, and an infinite yearning for the future.

She looked at Ling Yan, her eyes filled with gratitude and respect.

At that moment, Lingyan became a beacon in her life, illuminating her path forward.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yan looked at Jiang Muxue quietly, her eyes filled with satisfaction and admiration.

A faint smile played on her lips, a smile that conveyed a sense of relief and genuine joy for Jiang Muxue.

She blinked gently, her eyes glistening with tears.

Then she raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corner of her eye.

His smile grew even brighter and warmer as he said, "I believe that in the future you will definitely shine with your own dazzling light, just as you said."

Looking at Ling Yan's slightly red eyes and the tear stains that hadn't dried at the corners of her eyes, Jiang Muxue felt even more moved.

Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Ya Ya, thank you, thank you so much, thank you for your trust and support. I will never let you down."

Then she straightened her back, like a green bamboo that still stands tall in the wind and rain.

She looked at Ling Yan again, her lips curving upwards into a bright and determined smile that seemed to dispel all gloom.

Then she looked at Ling Yan and teased with a smile, "Alright, now you can let your men show themselves."

Ling Yan asked in surprise, "Are your martial arts skills that advanced? You can sense the presence of these experts?"

Jiang Muxue smiled and said, "It's not that I'm clever, it's just that I think that given your caution and how much they care about you, they would never let you take risks alone when they know there is danger."

Ling Yan smiled and said, "You guessed right."

Then she looked behind her and said, "If you heard that, come out now."

As soon as she finished speaking, five exceptionally handsome men, each with their own unique charm, quietly appeared beside Ling Yan.

Jiang Muxue looked at them with wide eyes, her face filled with disbelief and a dazed expression.

Then, realizing what was happening, she looked at Ling Yan with admiration, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "I knew you were charming, but I didn't expect you to be this charming! I thought there were only three, but there are five! So the Ninth Prince of Western Chu stayed in Da Zhao because of you, and this one too..."

She looked at Shen Qingchen and clicked her tongue, saying, "And this handsome man who looks unfathomable, you are truly blessed!"

Ling Yan smiled modestly and said, "You flatter me, but I am indeed very fortunate."

She said this while looking at the five people.

Therefore, all five of them felt very happy upon hearing this.

Jiang Muxue was incredibly impressed by how well she had managed to subdue five outstanding men.

All she could say was, "You're amazing! Well done!"
