nt! Real talk!"Ripple smiled and said,When she left the previous plane, she not only passed on her internal energy to Wen Lan, but also all the gold and silver treasures to Su Nu Palace, a martial art..."Even if the master doesn't say anything, I will investigate."

Although Mrs. Wu was satisfied with her husband's clear statement. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"My lady, where are you taking Zhenzhen to recuperate If the family physician is not competent, just hire someone from outside, no matter the cost. If even that doesn't work, we can call upon the Imperial Physician. Why are you sending her away Traveling with injuries is simply unsafe."

Wang Laoye still felt sorry for this sensible and well-behaved eldest daughter.

"Don't worry, she's my own daughter. I wouldn't hurt her, would I The environment there is good and safe, and the people I've entrusted with her care will look after her well. They'll make sure she gets her face fixed."

Mrs. Wu didn't want to say too much, she only mentioned the important points and then changed the subject.

“The people who saved our daughter today are from the martial arts world. We still need to show our gratitude, otherwise we would appear to be uncultured.”

"Very well, madam. While you prepare the gifts, I shall go greet them first. Let us offer them a meal and accommodations here in the mansion for several days as a token of our gratitude."

"That's better. I think the old master and they will have a lot to talk about."

Mr. Wang had once dreamed of being a hero in his youth, so he got along well with Xu Fengze. They spent time together and Xu stayed for longer than expected.

During this period, Xu Fengze also met Wang Yinyin several times, and both parties felt a good impression of each other.

Xu Fengze was handsome and skilled in martial arts. He wielded a sword with incredible finesse, earning him the nickname "Junlan Sword" from the Jianghu. He had also studied the Four Books and Five Classics and achieved the status of a scholar. However, he disliked official positions and chose to enter the Jianghu instead of joining the government.

He would also compose a few sarcastic poems in his spare time, occasionally writing a couple of poems for Yingying, which caused the young girl's heart to flutter. Coupled with the fact that she had saved Wang Yingying's life, their interactions became more frequent.

Wu knew this, and politely asked Xu Fengze to leave. Xu Fengze wasn't foolish either; he knew he hadn't captured the hearts of Yingying's family. He readily agreed to leave, but it left Wang Yingying listless, consumed by longing like someone afflicted with lovesickness.

Although Mrs. Wu was angry, after all, she was her own daughter. Xu Fengze did save both daughters, and it was also her husband who let him stay in the mansion, which led to their interaction.

Yinyin finally confessed the truth to her mother:

"Mother, all I want is to find someone who can protect me. Xu Fengze is skilled in martial arts and also a scholar. He is not an ordinary ruffian. My heart feels at ease with him because we understand each other."

The daughter isn't stupid. If she had been kidnapped that day, even if my sister and I came back safe and sound, we would have been gossiped about for losing our innocence. It shows how vicious the mastermind behind this is.

This time, my sister disfigured herself to protect me. So next time, will it be my turn

"Yinyin, please rest assured! Mother will never allow this to happen."

Mrs. Wu squeezed her youngest daughter's hand and said,

"No, Mother, as long as I remain in this household, I am your weakness. These people can threaten me and control you, just as they did when they captured my sister and threatened me."

In order to prevent my elder sister from getting hurt again, I had no choice but to obediently follow them. If it weren't for Xu Fengze, who knows what fate awaited the two of us sisters

So, if Xu Fengze has no ties behind him, I want to marry him.

If I were to marry someone from a merchant family, there wouldn't be much benefit, nor would it help my family. My prospective husband might not like me, and I might not like him either.

"We could marry into a wealthy family, but our status isn't suitable. We could only be concubines. But my sister and I swore we would never be concubines. I believe our mother wouldn't want us to live our lives subservient to others after marrying in."

Mrs. Wu sighed helplessly, her youngest daughter saw it clearly. She wanted to marry Xu Fengze too, it was a decision made after weighing the pros and cons. Unfortunately, she couldn't bear to let go.

In the end, the Wu family still agreed to their youngest daughter's choice. When Wang Yingying turned eighteen, they arranged her marriage with Xu Fengze. And Xu Fengze was quite responsible; he specially built Yinzhe Mountain Villa to welcome Wang Yingying.

By then, Wang Zhenzhen had been at the Sùnǚ Palace for two years. During those two years, she healed her injuries and then began to practice martial arts with the disciples of the Sùnǚ Palace.

Although the scars on her face had healed, they left two hideous marks, transforming her from a gentle and beautiful young woman into a monster.

Wang Zhenzhen didn't care about these things. She wanted to learn martial arts to improve her own strength. If she met bandits again next time, she wouldn't be helpless and wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

Her diligence and open-mindedness caught the attention of Su Gongzhu. Through private observation and testing, she took Wang Zhenzhen as her disciple, teaching her the Xu Nü Xuan Gong and telling her that the scars on her face were minor issues. As long as she diligently cultivated and used medicine, the scars would gradually disappear.

Wang Zhenzhen seized this opportunity, bowing before the palace master and formally beginning her martial arts training. Over two years, her progress in the Xu Nü Xuan Gong was modest, with eighty percent of the scar on her face repaired. Though a close look could still reveal it, applying some rouge would make it completely invisible.

She then left the Sù Nǚ Palace to visit her parents and siblings, but by then Wang Yíngyíng had already decided to marry Xǔ Fēngzé. She didn't care about his involvement with Princess Xiāngyí, because at that time, Princess Xiāngyí had been sent to another kingdom as a political bride and wouldn't be returning for the rest of her life.

Wang Zhenzhen knew she couldn't persuade her younger sister, so she met Xu Fengze in private and asked him to handle his own romantic entanglements well, not to cause trouble for her sister. He assured her solemnly that he would.

A year after their marriage, Yingying became pregnant. She consulted a doctor who confirmed that she was carrying twins. Yingying immediately shared this good news with her family and Zhenzhen.

After receiving the message, Wang Zhenzhen was also happy for her younger sister and planned to go down the mountain to accompany her before her sister's due date, after she had broken through the third level of the XNv Xuan Gong.

Unfortunately, when she was breaking through to the third level of the Su Nu Xuan Gong in seclusion, she vaguely saw her younger sister begging for help, almost causing her to fall into demonic obsession. After Wang Zhenzhen woke up, she felt uneasy, so she secretly left the mountain.

After descending the mountain, she journeyed day and night to Yinzhe Mountain Villa. A voice inside her urged her on, compelling her to go faster, faster still.

Unfortunately, she was still too late. When her convoy passed by Princess Xiangyi's carriage, she became even more certain that something had happened to her younger sister.

By the time she arrived at the Yinzhe Villa, it was reduced to ashes. She gritted her teeth, forcing herself to remain calm, and then began searching for her sister's whereabouts. In the end, she only brought back a baby girl with a damaged heart.

"Master, please save this child. She is her sister's only blood relative. For her safety, I cannot acknowledge her as my own, nor can I let others know that she is still alive. Therefore, I could only come up with this method, hoping to keep her safe."

Wang Zhenzhen bowed again.

"You child, I told you I wouldn't help I saw that baby girl, she has excellent bone structure, a good seedling for martial arts. Besides, she practiced the Xu Nü Xuan Gong, her meridians can be repaired, and I have someone to pass on my teachings. Two birds with one stone, why would I refuse"

Su Gongzhu smiled and said.

"Thank you, Master! On behalf of the child, I thank you, Master! Please give her a name!"

Since you don't want any connection with my Wang family, then let her take my surname and be called Lianyi, Su Lianyi!th talent and good looks, and I also have family burdens. I'm simply not worthy of you. Please don't waste your time on me."Liàn Yī was able to understand the other person's thoughts. She took a sip o...
