First Test of Skills
…
In the evening, Huang Rong and Ah Qing walked into the room with their food boxes and found Mu Nianci sitting cross-legged on the ground. Her clothes were covered in red dots.
Huang Rong was shocked when she got closer.
There were many blood-stained toothpicks on the ground around Mu Nianci.
"You…you're too ruthless." Huang Rong glared at Lian Chengbi and quickly put down the food box. She came to Mu Nianci's side and wanted to help her up.
" Let her get up on her own," Lian Chengbi said lightly." If you help her up, then all her suffering this afternoon will be in vain."”
Huang Rong froze.
"I'm fine. It's just some superficial injuries.”
Mu Nianci said softly with a stubborn look on her face.
"This…"
Huang Rong didn't know what to say.
"Come over for dinner." Liancheng Bi instructed.
Mu Nianci endured the stinging pain in her body. She pursed her lips and stood up without saying a word. Then, she slowly walked to the dining table.
Huang Rong's heart ached when she saw the blood stains on the ground where Mu Nianci had walked.
"Sister Mu is a girl. How can you be so ruthless?”Huang Rong sat beside Liancheng Bi and complained softly.
" This is just the beginning," Liancheng Bi said slowly." Tomorrow, I will shoot her with a poisoned toothpick. The day after tomorrow, I will use a poisoned knife to cut her skin inch by inch."”
Mu Nianci's face turned pale, and her hands that were holding the bowl and chopsticks trembled.
Huang Rong swallowed hard and said,"Are you kidding me?"
"You guess?" Liancheng Bi raised his eyebrows.
Huang Rong was speechless.
Lian Chengbi glanced at Mu Nianci and said,"Someone will sneak into the third floor tonight.”
"Yes."
Mu Nianci replied.
"You mean Qiu Chuji and the others?"
Huang Rong asked curiously.
She had never met Qiu Chuji and the others, but she knew their identities through the waiters and chefs in the restaurant.
Lian Chengbi nodded and said,"They came to investigate the cause of Wanyan Kang's death. They can be Nian Ci's sparring partner."”
"Sister Mu is injured like this, can you still fight?”Huang Rong looked at Mu Nianci worriedly.
"I'm fine." Mu Nianci said.
Lian Chengbi looked at Ah Qing and asked,"Ah Qing, is the medicinal bath ready?"”
Ah Qing nodded as she ate and said,"It's ready."”
" Some of the wounds have already formed scars," Lian Chengbi said." Move more and let the wounds open. The medicinal bath will be more effective."”
Naturally, he was talking to Mu Nianci.
Mu Nianci and Huang Rong felt a chill down their spines.
"Got it."
Mu Nianci said in a low voice. She had lost her appetite.
Huang Rong, on the other hand, was eating her food. She thought to herself that she would never learn martial arts from Liancheng Bi again.
At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Lian Chengbi and Huang Rong stayed in the room, practicing the Rippling Subtle Steps together.
Outside the room, Mu Nianci, who had changed into a night-traveling outfit, was looking around coldly with two long blades hanging from her waist.
Two black-clothed figures sneaked up to the third floor.
Zhu Cong, a clever scholar of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan;
Quan Zhen Sect Qiu Chuji's disciple Yin Zhiping.
The two of them searched every room, one east and one west.
In their opinion, when Yang Kang was killed last night, there must have been traces of a fight. Perhaps they could find useful clues.
"Who is it?" When Mu Nianci saw a man in black, she was instantly energized and rushed over.
Yin Zhiping's expression changed slightly. When he realized that the person who came was a woman, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"I am Yin Zhiping of the Quanzhen Sect.”
Yin Zhiping said.
Qiu Chuji, Ke Zhenge, and the others agreed that if they were discovered, they would directly report their family and reason for coming.
"As expected of the Quan Zhen Sect."
Mu Nianci thought to herself and said coldly," No matter who it is, they have to leave something behind.”
After being 'hurt' by Lian Chengbi for an entire day, she was just about to find someone to test her power.
Before Yin Zhiping could continue, Mu Nianci attacked.
Yin Zhiping's expression changed. Seeing Mu Nianci's astonishing speed, he did not dare to be careless. He immediately drew the long sword hanging on his waist.
Bang!
Yin Zhiping's sword blocked Mu Nianci's right hand's blade.
"So strong!"
Yin Zhiping was shocked.
He had thought that the other party was a woman and looked younger than him. He had thought that the other party's strength would not be very strong.
However, after one attack, he knew that the other party's strength was definitely not weaker than his.
Suddenly, Yin Zhiping felt pain in his lower body, and his pupils constricted.
Then…
"Ah ~!"
Yin Zhiping screamed. A sharp pain came from his lower body and went straight to his brain, making him almost faint.
Mu Nianci was stunned.
At this moment, she had the sword in her right hand above her. She was about to slash at Yin Zhiping's neck, but it was blocked.
The sword in his left hand was aimed at Yin Zhiping's lower body.
This was the fourth move of the Willow Blade, Going to a Meeting Alone.
One blade was used to attract the enemy's attention, while the other was used to sneak attack.
In the morning, she had used this move countless times, but she had not been able to hit Lian Chengbi even once. She thought that this was an ordinary move.
In the afternoon, Lian Chengbi had been attacking her weak spot. Sometimes, he would shoot out two toothpicks at a time. She used this move to block many toothpicks.
This time, she took advantage of the situation and used this move. She thought that this Quan Zhen Sect disciple would dodge it like Lian Chengbi.
However, he did not expect that he would be able to cut the other party so easily.
Hearing Yin Zhiping's scream, Mu Nianci was a little confused."
How could Quan Zhen Sect's disciples be so weak?
In her opinion, this move was really just an ordinary move in the Willow Cut that Lian Chengbi had taught her. She felt that this move was more suitable for defense.
However, Yin Zhiping was actually slashed.
