Reincarnation and Rebirth

Old Man Su stared directly at Su Wan'er, "Wan'er, hurry back."

Su Wan'er was not surprised at all that Old Man Su would suspect her. But since things had already come to this point, so what if Old Man Su had some doubts about her? It would only make him more wary of the second wife.

Su Wan'er turned and left, heading straight for the village entrance.

The village chief, carrying a gong, had already gathered many strong laborers from the village to head over there. When he saw Su Wan'er, he was quite surprised. "Girl, what are you doing getting involved in this? Hurry up and go back. This is just nonsense."

“Grandpa Village Chief, my dad is on duty tonight, and I’m worried about him. Besides, I’ve been learning medicine from Grandpa Lin for a few days, so I might be able to help him.”

When the village chief's eldest grandson, Su Chunhui, saw Su Wan'er, his face was also filled with worry. "Wan'er, you should go back. You're a woman all alone."

"Alright, let's go quickly, or something bad will really happen." Su Wan'er could already hear her adoptive father's screams.

Seeing Su Wan'er dash out in one stride, the people around her were so shocked that their mouths could fit an egg.

"My God, how come the second daughter of the Su family runs so fast?"

"Yes, it's like knowing kung fu."

The village chief squinted at Su Wan'er's direction and said, "Hurry up and follow."

Before even reaching the village entrance, one could smell the strong stench of blood and hear screams in the air.

Su Wan'er didn't bother to take off her disguise and used her lightness skill to reach the battlefield in a short time.

Xiao Yunshen and his companion watched Su Wan'er's actions from afar, their doubts growing even stronger.

The villagers were stunned. "Village chief, is that... is that Wan'er?"

"No way, she, she's so fast."

The village chief whispered, "Now is not the time to talk, hurry up."

When they arrived, a large group of people were lying on the ground at the village entrance. Upon closer inspection, they saw that although the villagers were all injured, they were all standing to one side with expressions of surprise.

Su Wan'er stood upright in the middle of the battlefield, holding a short sword, surrounded by fallen bandits.

The man in the lead looked as if he'd seen a ghost. "Who are you?"

"You are not worthy to know my name."

"You brat, do you know who we are?"

"They're just a bunch of rabble."

"Bah! You've offended the people of Black Tiger Stronghold. Believe me, we'll wipe out your entire village tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the villagers trembled with fear. The village chief stepped forward and said, "Everyone, I am the village chief. We have no intention of opposing Black Tiger Village; we only want to protect ourselves. She is a villager of ours."

The leading man glanced at the village chief and said, "Alright, you're the village chief, right? How do you want to resolve this matter today? Your men killed so many of our brothers. Here's what we'll do: we won't ask for much more. We'll just give you a thousand taels of silver and ten thousand catties of grain, and that'll be the end of it."

"What? Ten thousand catties of grain? Our entire village combined doesn't even have that much."

"That's right, how could we possibly come up with a thousand taels of silver?"

The leader of the men gave a sinister smile. “No? Then let the woman come back to Black Tiger Stronghold with us. Otherwise, when the people from Black Tiger Stronghold come tomorrow, you will all die.”

Su Youlu had an injured arm, and blood was dripping down his arm. His face was pale, but he desperately walked to Su Wan'er's side and said to those people, "It was clearly you who wanted to enter the village at night. We wanted to stop you, but you started fighting without saying a word. We were just trying to protect ourselves. What did we do wrong?"

Su Wan'er's eyes flickered slightly; this cheap father actually had some courage.

"That's right, it's clearly your motives that are impure," Zhang Dazhuang said angrily, supporting Su Youlu.

In fact, Su Wan'er did not kill them. Most of the men in black on the ground were unconscious, and some who were seriously injured could not get up.

"Think carefully. Offending our Black Tiger Stronghold will not end well for you. You must already know about the situation in Dingjia Village."

Some villagers panicked and said to Su Wan'er, "Wan'er, you caused this mess, you have to deal with it yourself." Upon hearing this, many villagers nodded in agreement.

The village chief angrily rebuked the man who had spoken, "Shut up! Who is Wan girl doing this for? You're just kicking her while she's down. Aren't you breaking the young girl's heart?"

"Village chief, we can't let the whole village be implicated because of her."

Zhang Dazhuang said angrily, "You idiot, don't forget that if it weren't for Wan'er's timely appearance, you would still be alive to be jumping around here. And you guys, if it weren't for Wan'er, these people would have already entered the village and slaughtered everyone. You're not grateful, and you even pushed people out. Are you even human?"

Su Wan'er looked at the villagers, "Do you think they'll let you go if I go with them?"

Some villagers turned their faces away, not daring to look at Su Wan'er, but said, "That's better than us all dying together."

One of the villagers who had been rescued by Su Wan'er still couldn't bear it and whispered, "So many of us couldn't protect a little girl. If word gets out, won't people gossip about our Suhe Village?"

The village chief also said, "If that's really the case, the children's marriages will become a problem in the future."

Seeing that they were getting more and more united, the bandit leader got angry and said, "Since you won't listen to reason, don't blame us for being impolite. All of you, get on her! Whoever captures that brat will be richly rewarded when we get back."

Shunqing watched from afar, a hint of worry in his heart. "Master, should we go out and help?"

Xiao Yun Shen curled his lips into a smile. "Don't worry, it's not certain who will suffer the loss. But this girl is still too green; we won't go all out."

Su Wan'er moved nimbly among the bandits, her short sword flashing coldly. Her swordplay was sharp and unpredictable; the bandits were astonished to find that their attacks could barely touch her, while her counterattacks were as fierce as a storm. In the blink of an eye, several bandits lay dead on the ground.

Su Wan'er's eyes were firm and cold. She channeled her inner strength, and her swordsmanship became increasingly exquisite. The bandits gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

In the end, under Su Wan'er's fierce offensive, dozens of bandits were wounded and fell to the ground. She stood amidst the mess, panting, while the villagers around her could hardly believe their eyes.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm leaving this place to you." Su Wan'er said breathlessly, "However, since Black Tiger Stronghold has already set its sights on us, we should make plans as soon as possible."

Su Dewang's gaze towards Su Wan'er changed; how had Su Youlu's daughter become so formidable?

Let alone an outsider like him, even Su Youlu himself couldn't believe it, thinking to himself, "Could my daughter be possessed by a ghost?"

Seeing that the crisis had passed, Er Lengzi pointed at Su Wan'er and said, "Who exactly are you? The second daughter of the Su family is not like this."

Su Wan'er raised an eyebrow, her tone icy, "Instead of thinking about these things, you should think about how to deal with these people."

Su Dewang went forward and saw that most of the bandits had only fainted, and only a few had died from excessive blood loss.
