After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Sunlight spills onto the ground, leaving dappled shadows.

A girl dressed as a bandit pushed a wooden wheelchair slowly through the medicinal herb field.

Because of the recent rain, the air was filled with a damp smell, and the leaves of the herbs were covered with crystal-clear water droplets that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

It turned out that the herbs she had just found by the roadside were just the tip of the iceberg. After following the fourth leader's guidance, she passed through a secluded grove of trees, and the scene before her eyes suddenly opened her eyes.

"This is Baicaoyu, the pass leading out of the valley. If you want to leave the valley, you must pass through here." The fourth leader tapped the armrest with his hand, his eyes gazing at the distant horizon, and said slowly.

Xiao Ran silently pushed the wheelchair. Just then, the wooden wheel hit a tree branch on the ground, making a very abrupt cracking sound. The fourth leader's hand, which was tapping the armrest, paused almost imperceptibly.

"When did the fourth leader find out?"

They discovered she wasn't from the valley.

"Most of the people in Liuyun Village are migrants who have spent half their lives toiling away. Even the children who have just grown up have to do chores for the village."

“And there are no calluses on your hands. There would never be such a person in our Liuyun Village.”

The fourth leader simply replied indifferently, as if revealing Xiao Ran's identity had no impact on him.

He added, "Moreover, Qiangzi is surrounded by men, not women."

Xiao Ran was surprised that they even recognized her gender.

That makes sense. With such a large medicinal herb field, the fourth leader should be knowledgeable in medicine. How could he not even tell if it's a man or a woman?

After Xiao Ran led him to a courtyard, he finally asked, "What's your name?"

“Fourth Master, you can just call me Ali,” she replied.

The fourth leader casually turned the wooden wheelchair around, looked at the rows of medicinal fields in front of him, and said calmly, "Ali, the valley is going through a turbulent time right now. If you accidentally wander into the valley, I won't worry too much. I can even help you get out of the valley."

His tone shifted, carrying a hint of warning: "But if you have premeditated this, I advise you to give up now."

Xiao Ran shook his head with a wry smile, "Fourth Master, you're overthinking it. I was tricked into falling off a cliff and into the river in the valley, which is how I survived. Now I just want to get out of the valley as soon as possible and reunite with my family."

The fourth leader nodded, surprised that this young girl had such an experience.

He then softened his tone and said, "You should know that the valley is heavily guarded, and the exit is also guarded by people from Liuyun Village. I see you're a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush. I can help you get out of the valley, but..."

He suddenly stopped talking, then glanced at her sideways. Xiao Ran knew he was testing her attitude.

"Fourth Master, please speak freely." Xiao Ran also stared into his eyes.

The fourth leader turned around, and Xiao Ran also looked in his direction. What came into view were those precious herbs, but upon closer inspection, something seemed amiss.

The person in the wheelchair sighed, "I don't care about your background, but as my disciple, I want you to learn how to manage this good herb field."

With the fourth leader's signal, Xiao Ran placed the wheelchair aside, stepped down into the herb field, and carefully examined several herbs.

Only then did I discover that beneath these glamorous exteriors, many were actually broken and dilapidated.

"I'm old and my legs aren't very strong," the fourth leader said helplessly, patting his legs.

“Mo Ping has never liked medicine since he was a child, and no one in Liuyun Village is willing to put down their swords and come and play with these flowers and plants with an old man like me.”

Xiao Ran was speechless. Didn't they just say that the leader had organized a disciple recruitment event for him? Was it because no one was willing, or was he just being too picky?

She turned back and touched the leaf again, examining it carefully, before saying, "If I can manage the herb field well, can the Fourth Master let me leave the valley?"

Seeing her confidence, the fourth leader coughed and said, "This is just the most basic thing for a disciple."

"Don't rush. I'll take you to heal your wounds. Tonight, I'll have Mo Ping introduce you to the chief. Otherwise, he's been nagging me so much I'm practically getting calluses."

……

In the evening, after Mo Ping returned, the fourth leader instructed him to take Ali to Liuyun Village to see the first leader.

Mo Ping was a little confused. Who was Ali? But after thinking about it carefully, Dali... Ali? It had only been half a day since they last met, and this kid had already become so close to the Fourth Master? The Fourth Master had never called him A Ping!

Therefore, on the way to the village, Mo Ping deliberately quickened his pace.

But walking at night is inherently difficult, and although Mo Ping was very skilled and kept moving between various alleys, she still found it very strenuous.

She could sense that her senior brother seemed to dislike her, walking away unusually quickly and unwilling to have any contact with her.

But she was not discouraged. Because she wanted to follow in Mo Ping's footsteps, she walked very fast, but the tall branches scratched her wounds, causing a dull pain, so she stopped.

She stopped for a moment but couldn't see her senior brother anymore, so she simply sat down by the roadside and re-bandaged him.

Not long after, the shadows of the branches on the ground began to sway. Mo Ping then pushed aside the branches blocking her path and angrily said, "What's wrong with you? You can get lost even if you follow me? I think if you can't be my disciple, you should just quit..."

Before he could even say "get lost," he saw Xiao Ran carefully bandaging her wounds with a white cloth by the big tree under the moonlight, her movements gentle and cautious.

But when he heard his voice, he looked up and saw that the eyes of the injured animal were like those of a wounded animal, sparkling with starlight under the moonlight, which made him pause for a moment.

All I could see was her clutching her newly bandaged wound, looking pitiful, and saying, "Senior brother, it hurts."

"I told you to follow along properly, how come you can't even do something this simple?" He was somewhat embarrassed.

Although he was sharp-tongued, he was already walking towards Xiao Ran: "I have some medicine, let me see where you're hurt."

"No need, senior brother, I've already bandaged myself. Let's hurry on our way." Xiao Ran straightened her clothes and smiled at him.

"You..." Mo Ping was speechless for a moment, after all, he was in the wrong, because for someone who was not familiar with the road, he had indeed walked too fast.

He was a little jealous of his master.

But thinking about it carefully, this kid will be my junior brother in the future, and with such a small body, what can he possibly do? He probably can't even crush an ant.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing," Mo Ping replied awkwardly, then casually changed the subject, "By the way, how did you get these injuries? They look quite alarming, especially the wound on your neck. It doesn't look like a scratch. Did someone try to kill you?"

Xiao Ran smiled as she recalled the young man from earlier that day: "Yes."

It seems that ever since she was reborn, many people have wanted to kill her.

But in Mo Ping's eyes, that smile turned into a bitter smile. "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Now you are your master's disciple and also the disciple of the fourth leader of Liuyun Village. No one dares to bully you."

"And, moreover, I will help you too..." Mo Ping turned his head to the side, his cheeks gradually turning red.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Xiao Ran smiled sweetly at him.

Mo Ping suddenly quickened his pace and walked ahead, but then felt something was amiss, so he took out a rope from his clothes, held one end, and let Xiao Ran hold the other.

"That way you won't get lost."

Xiao Ran looked at Mo Ping's earlobes, which were slightly red in the moonlight.

She couldn't help but smile.

What a shy senior!
