While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

Zhong Ling shook her head vigorously, saying repeatedly, "No, I didn't see anything."

Mu Wanqing snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You must think that if I dressed like this, I wouldn't look like a good person, right?"

"No, no, I... I didn't say that."

"You didn't say it that way, but that's what you think."

"Huh? Sister Mu, I can't even think about it?" Zhong Ling said, hanging her head dejectedly.

Mu Wanqing replied, "You don't need to be afraid to say it. I've never been a good person, so why should I be afraid of what others say?"

Zhong Ling: "..."

She blinked her innocent big eyes at Mu Wanqing, her eyes seeming to say: You're not afraid of what people will say, so why are you being mean to me?

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Mu Wanqing pursed her lips and suppressed a laugh.

Zhong Ling didn't dare to reason with the most unreasonable Sister Mu, so she pouted and changed the subject, saying, "Sister Mu, we'll be entering Xiangzhou soon, do you want to go see Dongting Lake?"

"Dongting Lake?" Mu Wanqing frowned slightly. "What would we be doing there?"

"Let's see if there's a 'Rain-Covering Sword' over there, just like in the story!"

"boring."

"Bored? Should we go or not?"

"Go if you're happy, don't go if you're not happy."

"..."

Because Shi Hongying's face was covered, and only her captivating eyes were visible, I initially mistook her for Lin Shiyin.

[After all, those eyes are too distinctive! And too familiar!]

On second thought, the vibe just wasn't right.

[I can't remember who she is right now, but it's clear I can't let this opportunity slip by.]

The God of Love has personally intervened, practically tying us together with steel bars. How could I be so oblivious?

So, with a dashing act of breaking a branch, I saved her from the pursuers.

【Then……】

Then she slapped me across the face.

"Pfft!"

Upon seeing this, the women couldn't help but burst into laughter.

I thought it was a cliché story of a hero saving a damsel in distress and love at first sight, but the plot took an unexpected turn so quickly.

They were all caught off guard, so you can imagine Jiang Sishui's reaction at that moment.

"Hmph, what hero saving the damsel in distress! Who asked you to save them? Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

Shi Hongying was stunningly beautiful, and many men coveted her as she grew up.

If the Six Harmonies Gang weren't so formidable, and if she herself weren't a Grandmaster, she would have been completely devoured long ago.

Because of this, she has been very sensitive to the gaze of the opposite sex since childhood. She can basically sense whether the other person has ill intentions just by making eye contact.

It was an intuition, without any reason, yet remarkably accurate.

Although Bai Rijiang Sishui did not overstep any boundaries and his act of saving her resembled that of a chivalrous knight who helps those in need, her intuition told her that this man had ulterior motives.

That's why Shi Hongying was so impolite, rather than because she was inherently feisty.

"Seeing my eyes reminds you of Lin Shiyin?"

Shi Hongying sat down in front of the dressing table, looked at herself in the mirror, and murmured, "Who is she? Does she look a lot like me?"

……

Jinzhou, Li Garden.

Lin Shiyin leaned against the headboard, holding a copy of her diary in her hands.

The room was dark, but the contents of the diary were clearly visible.

At that moment, a question that popped into her mind was the same as Shi Hongying's: "Seeing Shi Hongying's eyes reminds me of myself. Do we look a lot alike?"

"Also, why did you think of me first? Am I famous in martial arts novels?"

With a hint of anticipation, she continued reading.

That slap really stunned me.

Although she didn't hit me, it made me realize that this woman is a rose with thorns.

Requesting flowers (or flowers)

It's okay, it's more fun this way.

Just as I was about to reason with her, the pursuers surrounded us.

[The first woman, a strikingly beautiful one, immediately accused Shi Hongying of stealing from the Liuhe Gang.]

[I'm familiar with the Six Harmonies Gang; they're the villainous forces in the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"]

Having identified the target group, I quickly guessed Shi Hongying's identity.

However, because I wasn't entirely sure, I deliberately spoke ill of Shi Hongying's brother, Shi Baidu, in front of her.

Regardless of whether Shi Bai actually did those things or not, just keep smearing them on him.

As expected, Shi Hongying immediately panicked upon hearing this!

Then there's no doubt about her identity.

"Damn it, you did it on purpose!"

Shi Hongying gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could bite Jiang Sishui.

... .. 0

She had seen Jiang Sishui deliberately provoke Jin Lingzhi to find out her background, and she felt that this man was cunning.

Now that it has happened to her, she truly understands how cunning this guy is.

Because she didn't realize at the time that the other person was testing her.

……

Meanwhile, some women who had heard of Shi Baidu couldn't help but wonder: "Shi Baidu is the leader of the Liuhe Gang, and Shi Hongying is his sister. Why would she steal from her own family?"

Shi Hongying is the female lead in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and also the younger sister of Shi Baidu, the leader of the villainous Six Harmonies Gang.

[At the beginning of the story, just like today, she stole things from her own family.]

However, this was not because she was being unreasonable, but because she wanted to stop her brother from currying favor with the powerful and wealthy.

[Background: The eunuch Wei Zhongxian wields immense power in the court and desires to unify the martial arts world.]

With his birthday approaching, various powerful factions in the martial arts world, eager to curry favor with him, presented him with birthday gifts.

Shi Baidu of the Six Harmonies Gang was one of them.

Shi Hongying then took matters into her own hands, first seizing the thousand-year-old sandalwood, then stealing the black iron.

However, her actions inadvertently revealed her identity.

Shi Bai knew it was an "insider" causing trouble and flew into a rage, but Shi Hongying was also righteous and accused her brother of disobeying their father's admonition and colluding with Wei Zhongxian to recognize a traitor as his father.

Shi Bai was speechless, yet he still hadn't given up on the idea.

Later, in order to cut off Shi Baidu's escape route and completely bind him to the pirate ship, Wei Zhongxian personally asked Shi Baidu to marry his sister to his adopted son, Shuai Mengxiong.

[Shi Bai dared not disobey, ignored Shi Hongying's objections, and forced his sister to marry.] Part 1.

151 Shi Hongying and Lin Shiyin, Double the happiness you can't refuse

"My brother is forcing me to marry? How could that be?!"

Shi Hongying was startled and nearly knocked over the dressing table.

Since their parents passed away, the two siblings have depended on each other for survival. When she was a child, she even saved her brother's life, so Shi Bai has always taken great care of her and doted on her.

She simply couldn't believe that her brother would force her to marry.

However, the brother and sister did indeed do something remarkably similar to the story—

One was giving a gift, the other was robbing the treasure.

However, Shi Bai had changed his object of flattery. It was no longer that dead eunuch Wei Zhongxian, but Abiro, the king of the Blood Moon Cult!

What he gave away was neither thousand-year-old sandalwood nor black iron, but something a hundred times more precious!

Shi Hongying obstructed the process because the Blood Moon Cult had a terrible reputation.

The Blood Moon summons souls; those who defy it will have their souls severed.

With the "Blood Moon Soul-Hooking Order" in effect, countless families were destroyed and entire clans wiped out.

The Blood Moon Cult, the Blood Moon Cult—just from the name, you know it's an evil force that kills without hesitation.

The Six Harmonies Gang is certainly not a good thing, but compared to the Blood Moon Cult, it is nothing.
