still very vigilant.After Xiangyi came back with facial injuries, I investigated the mission background. The Sū Nyü Palace was a sect that was about to be destroyed, also destroyed by Xiangyi's hand...Eisenbarth swallowed nervously, suddenly feeling a bit rash about his agreement. His five accomplices had all stepped onto the boxing ring, fists raised, only to be carried off horizontally moments later, unconscious by then.

Ripple looked at the other person's hesitant expression with disdain, and in front of everyone, she raised her thumb, then pointed it down, openly showing contempt for the other person.

Eisen's face flushed instantly, then he ripped off his jacket, revealing his muscular frame, and leaped onto the boxing ring.

When ripples saw the other party take the stage, they looked at the referee and signaled that the other party could begin.

The referee clearly didn't want Aisen to come on stage. He saw it very clearly, even if he was biased, letting this Chinese girl fight a wheel battle not only didn't drag the other side down, but also made her strikes faster and more ruthless. So afterwards, when counting, he never let up. The first five people were fine, but Aisen was different.

"Aizen, are you ready"

The underlying message is: If you don't feel well today, you can decline the challenge.

"I"

"What When you were provoking me before, weren't you very arrogant and smug Now you want to make excuses to back down It's okay, if you don't accept today, I'll continue to challenge you tomorrow until you do."

A sarcastic smile curled at the corners of her lips.

This ironic smile left Eisen with no words to refuse. He simply nodded to the referee, signaling his acceptance.

The referee, with no choice, let both sides bow and then announced the start of the game.

This time the ripples didn't send Eisen down like before, she and her opponent fought back and forth, making the audience excited. They thought Eisen was very capable and should be able to win against this Chinese girl.

But only Eisen standing on the stage knew, from the moment he stepped up, he hadn't even been touched by a single hair of his opponent. And now his whole body was aching, but he wouldn't fall. He could only persevere.

At halftime, Eisen was drenched in sweat, gasping for breath like a cow. In contrast, Ripples was fresh and clean, breathing evenly. Anyone with eyes could see who was more skilled. This wasn't rocket science; anyone who said Eisen was better was either blind or had no conscience.

Halfway through the second half, Ripple conceded defeat, which surprised both the referee and Eisen.

Ripples donned the coat handed over by the guards, and said coldly:

"I traveled far and wide to be here, I came to learn, not to fight or form factions. But being a person from Xia Country doesn't mean we are afraid of trouble!"

I concede today only because you are Isaac Bashevis Singer. You have to thank your surname, otherwise, you would be lying down like the other five.

After finishing his words, Lian Ri leaped off the boxing platform. He put on his shoes and, accompanied by Duan Jia's personal guards, strode away, leaving behind a stunned silence in the boxing hall.

The onlookers, including the teacher, felt that this female student knew her limits and hadn't truly hurt Eisen. The other five students weren't so lucky, but because they were challenged on a boxing ring, they couldn't press charges.

Eisen sat on the platform, his face constantly changing expressions. Finally, he punched the boxing stand and then got up awkwardly, returning to his dormitory. The next day, he couldn't get up and went to see the school doctor who said it was a muscle strain and would be fine in two days.

Aizen had been lying in bed for two days, while Ripple still went to school as usual. At this point, because she had become famous overnight, no one dared to provoke her anymore. Instead, a group of girls surrounded her and started talking to her proactively, clearly showing their admiration. Ripple was also surprised by the outcome.

After that, the Duan family's guards were no longer overly cautious and would also challenge their classmates, and accept challenges from others. Slowly, they integrated into the military academy.

The one who has changed the most is Eisen. He has always been resentful of Ripples, but he has a clear understanding of his own strength and knows that he is completely outmatched in this area. He gave up on challenging Ripples with his weaknesses and started looking for ways to gain back face in other areas.

For example, shooting, fencing, simulated combat competitions, and so on. Gradually, he realized that if he continued like this, he would be utterly defeated. He then put away his peacock feathers and began to study diligently, determined to find at least one skill that could give him an edge over the competition.

The learning of ripples has stabilized, and autumn cicadas and winter sun also began to gradually expand their business. Starting from a small porcelain shop, they slowly expanded.

Lien usually writes a letter to her family in the country every month. The content includes her studies and some experiences abroad, such as her two aunts' business tips and the list of the most popular goods.

Of course, in the letter she sent home, she also knew that Zhang Xuetao couldn't stand being alone and was still with Yun Siyu. She shook her head; it wasn't that she wouldn't give Zhang Xuetao a chance, it was just that he couldn't hold on to it himself.

This time, if the other party hadn't betrayed her, even if she wouldn't be a housewife anymore, she wouldn't have completely eradicated the Zhang family. However, the other party still chose to betray her, enjoying Yun Si Yu's gentle and considerate companionship on one hand, and using Duan's army as a dagger to clear obstacles for the Zhang family on the other.

He even had time to write her mushy letters expressing his heartfelt feelings, which were so insincere and nauseating that they made Ripples feel sick. Each letter was read and replied to by her aunt, while the recipient remained completely oblivious. One could only say that Zhang Xuetao's love was merely superficial.

Over the next two years, news about Zhang Xuetao's romances would frequently surface in Xia Guo. And these stories wouldn't just feature Yun Siyu anymore; other women eager for power would also be involved. After all, flies don't bite perfect eggs.

Over time, the public's impression of Zhang Xuetao, the young marshal, became that he was a notorious womanizer. They all felt that the Duan family's daughter was too pitiful, having to face so many women from the young marshal before even getting married.

Duan Zongqing had also called Zhang Fenglin to make his position clear. His daughter wasn't one who couldn't get married. Although the engagement was initially for the sake of uniting both families, his daughter liked Zhang Xuetou. Now that his daughter was studying hard abroad, her fiancé was living a carefree life. What about his own daughter

"Zongqing, don't be angry. You've really been wronged by Tao'er in this matter."

You also know that he's currently leading the Zhang family army, constantly battling in various northern regions. He's either suppressing bandits or fighting against other forces. He simply doesn't have time for romance and leisure. These people are desperate to survive, so they use every trick in the book. Sending money and women are common practices.

Tao'er has a fiancee, how could he accept this These people saw that their gift-giving failed, so they started to slander and sow discord between our two families. They wish for our alliance to fail and for us to lose the powerful ally of the Duan family, so they can unite against the Zhang family. This is all part of their scheme.

As someone as astute as Zong Qing, surely you can see through this!

Moreover, what can a few blurry photos explain I've seen them too. One of them is even a picture of him going shopping for clothes with his mother. To spin this into a sensationalized story about a woman spending lavishly is ridiculous! I just can't help but laugh and cry at the same time! the two adults. She then used the excuse of taking a bath to temporarily leave the room.Because it was summer, the inn offered a public bath to attract customers. Each person only needed five copper...
