Lin Dan wanted to explore around and find out more information about the city, but the people seemed afraid of martial artists and would shun away from her when she approached them. As she did not fancy bullying the weak, she had no intention of holding anyone captive for an interrogation. However, the martial artists in black attire were nothing like her and took pleasure in capturing the people. She noticed that there were fire patterns embroidered on their collars and sleeves as they broke into the house, taking away all members of the household.
"What crime did they commit?" Lin Dan approached them and ask.
The leader of the martial artists pushed her away impatiently and yelled, "Get lost and mind your own business, or I'm going to take you as well and put you with the infected scums!"
Lin Dan took a step back and watched as they took the people away.
Bai Yan sighed, "That's enough. Let's go. "
Lin Dan glanced at him. With a tap of her toes, she disappeared. Bai Yan knew this would happen and chased after her. They quietly followed the group of martial artists and arrived at a towering city wall. There was a canopy made of peacock feathers at one end of the wall where a pale and thin man idly sat underneath, surrounded by many beautiful ladies. Several monks were standing next to him, muttering something while putting their hands together.
The man spat out a fruit seed, spewed an explicit, and looked very impatient.
Lin Dan and Bai Yan took down two martial artists and put on the flame-patterned black attire. Slowly walking along the wall, they heard one of the monks said, "Amitabha, your actions will disrupt world peace. It's not too late to repent now. "
The thin man grinned, "And what if I don't? You, the revered MasterFazhao, can do nothing to me, why should I be afraid of entering the Avici Hell and take the consequences of my action? If there really is karma in this world, why am I still living so comfortably here? This proves that your words are all lies! They are only used to trick the innocent fools!"
Master Fazhao? Lin Dan's eyes dimmed. She did not expect that the youngest monk was actually Master Fazhao, who ranked third in the Experts List. He had a high nose and broad eyebrows and his eyes were as cold as the stars. He had a cinnabarmole on his forehead which added a sense of holiness to his charming appearance. He lowered his eyes to read the scriptures and he seemed helpless at the situation.
Seeing his reaction, the thin man behaved even more arrogantly. He continued, "Aren't you tired of coming here every year? Never mind, I shall be kind today. You can sit on one end of the wall and read the Sutra of the Dead for these infected scums."
Master Fazhao had no choice but to sit down near the wall and began reciting the scriptures. The monks that came with him also began to get into the position for the ritual.
Harboring an evil intent, the thin man said, "I was only away for a few days and many of these infected scums actually died! Guards, add more people to the inner city and liven it up!"
Several martial arts quickly dragged the people who were caught to the wall. Lin Dan reacted very quickly. She immediately picked up a little boy's collar and assimilated herself into the group. Bai Yan sighed helplessly and followed after her.
The people almost fainted by the rancid smell when they walked near the wall. Upon taking a closer look, there were people who were infected with the plague wandering along the dilapidated street with rotten skin and mutilated limbs, looking dead and lost. After being infected with the plague, they were isolated and could only watch themselves slowly turn into a piece of rotten carcass.
Once they were dead, their bodies were burned, and houses were destroyed. Although a new town could be built in a few years' time, the thin man took pleasure in people's suffering. He isolated the city and built a city within a city. Once he saw that the infected were dying, he caught healthy people and put them with the infected ones for fun.
He did not clothe them or give them food. Once they cast the living people behind the wall, he would watch as the infected tear them apart like evil spirits, devouring their flesh and blood. Gradually, he found that it was more entertaining to watch the infected kill each other and become cannibalistic. He would catch some people and pushed them down the wall, before watching them being torn to pieces by the infected.
He could have shown kindness to his people and completely eradicate the plague, but he created himself a city of plague for his own entertainment. He could easily be the most inhumane person in the world!
Lin Dan grabbed the little boy's collar, her eyes turning cold. The little boy turned pale and kept shouting for his parents because he was scared.
Master Fazhao visited the city of plague every year in hopes of persuading the city lord, but it was his first time witnessing his act of throwing people down from the wall. He could no longer read the scriptures. He slowly stood up and said, "Lord Yan, that's enough! "[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
The thin man ignored him and reached out to Lin Dan, "Give me the young boy. These infected scums love soft and tender flesh like his."
Lin Dan held the boy's collar tightly and did not step forward. She heard Bai Yan's inner voice that said, "Don't act recklessly. We are now in the territory of Emperor Yan and this man is Yan Zhaotian, the only heir of Emperor Yan. If you kill him, Emperor Yan will never let you off!"
It is customary for Grandmasters to not interfere with each other's territory and area of influence. If two Grandmasters fight, it would inevitably start a war between two sects and even multiple countries. If that had happened, how many more casualties would it cause? This was why, although Master Fazhao did not approve of what Yan Zhaotian was doing, there was nothing he could do besides trying to persuade him.
Seeing that Lin Dan was not moving an inch, Bai Yan continued, "Emperor Yan has mastered a special technique which made him impossible to have children. This means that Yan Zhaotian is his only and last child. He is as important as his own eyes. You'd better think about it before you act. Don't forget that the entire Eastern Holy Sect is connected to you.
Lin Dan finally looked at him and communicated back, "I no longer have any relations with the Eastern Holy Sect. If they act in my name, they should bear their own consequences. That's their choice and it's none of my business. This monk is here to persuade Yan Zhaotian, right? Besides reciting 'Amitabha,' what else can he do?
As both of them communicated through their inner voices, Yan Zhaotian was getting impatient and yelled, "I'm asking you to bring that boy, do you hear me?! Never mind, you shall go down with him! "
However, even before he could finish, Lin Dan had already picked up the boy and flew forward, kicking Yan Zhaotian down the city wall. His guards were all Superior-rate Masters and there was also one Half-step Grandmaster, but none of them saw where Lin Dan went. When they wanted to save Yan Zhaotian, Lin Dan had appeared from her sword shadow and immediately took the heads of a dozen people. Before that Half-step Grandmaster could even take a step forward, his head had already been severed.
Lin Dan threw the little boy to Bai Yan while she stayed on the wall, killing whoever tried to save Yan Zhaotian. In only a short moment, all of the thin man's guards were all dead.
As the thin man was incapable of fighting due to his physical condition, he had long developed a twisted mind and took pleasure in seeing people struggle in despair. But now, the man himself was struggling instead and was not feeling the slightest pleasure. Seeing the infected that had turned into horrible-looking humans charging towards him, he ran away and shouted, "Do you know who I am? You better save me or my father is going to skin you alive!"
Lin Dan stood on the wall and looked at him emotionlessly. Fazhao took a step forward, seemingly wanted to save him, but she stopped him by pointed the tip of the sword at his chest. The ragingqiwas gushing at the tip of the sword that it had ripped his cassock even before there was any contact. Fazhao was stunned by the energy of Lin Dan's sword. He looked at Lin Dan and at Bai Yan who showed himself. He said solemnly, "All shall kill Asura that has descended into this world!" He very well knew the horrible history of Asura and, like Bai Yan, he had also received an order from the sect.
But Lin Dan remained calm. She only glanced at Fazhao and lowered her head. At this moment, the infected had caught up with the thin man and he was torn to pieces. Yan Zhaotian had never expected karma to come so soon.
Looking at the infected who had been tortured and dehumanized, Lin Dan closed her eyes and jumped off the wall before killing all of them. More blood splattered and stained the dilapidated street, making it look even closer to hell.
Fazhao frowned and wanted to stop the uncontrollable killer but was stopped by Bai Yan.
"Fazhao, you come to the Plague City every year, but have you ever appeased any of these vengeful souls? Have you ever stopped this demon? You recite 'Amitabha, Amitabha' all day but does it do any good to the ethics, morality, the good and the bad of this world? Do you know that she has killed the top seven fugitives on the wanted list just a few days ago and restored a moment of peace in this world? You and I are people who took on a high position and should have been responsible for making the world better. But what we have done was not even half as good as what she has done. If we have followed your way, when will this Plague City be gone? When can the vengeful souls of this city be appeased? As there are good and bad humans, the Buddha can be wrathful as well."
Bai Yan turned around and pointed at Lin Dan's blood-stained back, "In your eyes, she is the bloodthirsty Asura, but in mine, she is a Buddha who is appeasing the vengeful souls. These patients have been kept here by Lin Zhaotian for more than a decade, waiting for the day where the plague could be cured. But the plague has now developed so badly that not even the immortals of the Physicians Valley Medical could save them. Was there anything we could have done? Is keeping them here and making them endure more pain and despair your so-called 'compassion?' Or, if one day Yan Zhaotian had gotten tired of such entertainment and decided to amuse himself by opening the gates of Plague City, what do you think will happen to the outer city? What will this country or the entire land of East Tang become?"
Fazhao lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Dan's face where he saw no joy but deep sorrow. Although she was killing the infected people, she had the intention of appeasing their souls. The infected who were scrambling around gradually stopped and knelt on the ground. They kowtowed to her before raising their heads, ready to be killed.
They could not wait to die since they had been living in despair for so long! Anyone who could end their misery was their savior.
Before Lin Dan slashed, she paused for a slight moment each time and closed her eyes. Their blood was warm but her heart was cold. Her body felt comfortable but her mind was filled with raging anger. If there was so much injustice in this world, if she was destined to become a killing machine, she could kill the wicked and eliminate evil! She was alone in this world and neither fears Emperor Yan nor death.
Fazhao stared at Lin Dan's bloodied back and withdrew his internal force after a long moment. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I'm ashamed!" "[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]

Lin Dan spent almost two hours to kill those who were infected by the plague. Wherever she went, there were people who tried to run away from her or kneeled down and thanked her in tears. They were terminally ill and were suffering from an incurable disease. They had consumed so much human flesh that it was better for them to die.
After ensuring that everyone in the inner city was dead, Lin Dan, having practiced a unique technique and not afraid of the disease, gathered the bodies of these people in one place and burned them.
In fact, even before she came, there were infected taking their own lives daily, but Yan Zhaotian would always throw more healthy people over the wall so that he could maintain a certain number of people in the inner city. He prohibited his civilians from leaving the city and turned this place into a hunting ground, taking pleasure in toying with human lives. If the day came when all of this people were dead, he would move to another city and continue the same game. His father ruled two great empires after all and would not care about losing an insignificant city.
Those at the top never saw the suffering of the people at the bottom. Unfortunately, this was the Law of theJungle and the reality of Eastern Tang.
As the smoke rose, Lin Dan stood in front of the heap of burned bodies with a solemn expression and nobody could tell what she was thinking. Her Asura Sword had turned black which resulted from devouring too much blood. Master Fazhao and the others quickly sat down and recite the Sutra of the Dead. Coming to this city for eleven years in a row, his wish was finally fulfilled.
Bai Yan let go of the little boy who was no longer crying and untied his family. After seeing them leave, he looked at Lin Dan's unyielding back with beaming eyes.
Seeing that the bodies had been burned to ashes, Lin Dan jumped on the wall and left immediately. When she passed by Bai Yan, she stressed word by word, "One day, if I have also become a hideous monster like them, you must kill me!"
For a long time, Bai Yan did not respond. Seeing that she was staring at him with a determined look, he said softly, "Understood." But at the same time, he felt a faint heartache, as if something was missing.
When Master Fazhao heard their conversation, he opened his eyes and lamented, "Amitabha. This is good, indeed! "
Lin Dan continued moving forward. The city guards pointed at her with swords and spears, but no one dared to take another step forward. As she was soaked in blood, she looked like a devil, leaving a bloody footprint with every step she took. After walking for a few feet, she suddenly stopped and proclaimed, "I am Lin Dan. You may tell Emperor Yan that I'm the one who killed his son. If he wants revenge, find me at the top of Mount Kunlun where we will fight to our deaths!"
In the end, she initiated a duel with Emperor Yan so that no one else would be implicated by her action. It was an unspoken rule that any one who was involved in a duel could not begin the revenge before the outcome of the duel was decided. If she won, everyone would be safe. Otherwise, the Holy Eastern Sect could only hope for the best.
"She is the new Grandmaster, Lin Dan!" One of the guards cried.
"Hurry, inform Emperor Yan!" As the people scrambled, Lin Dan had already left in the wind. Beneath her feet were civilians running out of their closed doors, pointing at the thick smoke, and exclaimed that someone had killed the city lord and burned the Plague City. As tears rolled down their cheeks, they kneeled down and kowtowed to the nameless benefactor. If the benefactor had not come, they would sooner or later be thrown into the Plague City and turned into monsters that had no control over their own lives! Emperor Yan was no human, he was clearly Hades from hell!
—
Three days later, Lin Dan stood at the top of Mount Kunlun, holding a dark Shura Sword in her hand.
Bai Yan and Fazhao stood behind her. Bai Yan was frowning and looking worried while Fazhao recited the scriptures with his eyes closed. The outcome of this duel was almost certain. Emperor Yan was second only to Emperor Yun and had mastered the Flameburst Fist. This technique could flatten a hill and was not something that Lin Dan, a new Grandmaster, could handle.
"He's here." Bai Yan said suddenly.
Master Fazhao opened his eyes immediately.
But Lin Dan was a split second slower to notice his arrival – an evidence that there was a disparity in skills even between Grandmasters.
In the next moment, a middle-aged man in a red robe arrived riding on the wind. He landed on the hard rock and created two deep footprints. He looked at Lin Dan and said coldly, "Did you kill my son? "
Lin Dan held her sword and took a step forward, "Yes, it was me. "
"Good to know that!" Emperor Yan sent a punch without saying another word. Lin Dan raised her sword to block the attack, but the force was so huge that she was pushed a few feet away before spewing thick blood. But she was not flustered at all, her eyes were full of raging battle intent. She was facing a strong enemy and knew that she may not stand a chance of winning him even if she had drawn all the death aura within her body. Even so, that did not concern her as she enjoyed having a satisfying battle. If she was destined to die, dying in the hands of a strong opponent would be glorious.
She swung the Asura Sword and propelled herself forward using the raging qi on the tip of the sword towards Emperor Yan. After a series of moves, she was horrified to find that Emperor Yan's technique actually made his body hard as iron and was impenetrable. His Flameburst Fist was a great counter to her Asura Sword.
"I will take your head today and avenge my son's death! I'll also teach you a lesson – do not think you can do whatever you want just because you are extremely talented. Remember, there is always someone more powerful than you in this world." Emperor Yan punched Lin Dan down and swooped down with her.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
Lin Dan hit hard on the ground and spat a mouthful of blood. She raised the Asura Sword to block another more powerful punch from her opponent. The rock beneath her started cracking before a deep pit was made. Things were looking desperate for Lin Dan. Emperor Yan did not want to give her any chance of recovery and landed one punch after another. The raging qi rubbed the air and let out sharp shrieking each time.
The pit was getting deeper and soon buried Lin Dan.
Fazhao could not bear to look at her but Bai Yan stared at Emperor Yan coldly.
As Lin Dan suffered from more injuries, the life aura in Lin Dan's body got more active and her rate of recovery increased. The death aura within her was also growing rapidly and turning into the raging qi. Seeing Emperor Yan raised his fist and intended to land a powerful strike on her head, she clenched her teeth and pushed the Asura Sword forward. The sword that was giving out a dark glow came into contact with his fist and actually made a cut on his skin.
Emperor Yan had a shock and could not react in time. He immediately retreated seeing that the blade was coming at his neck.
Without his punches, Lin Dan was able to leap out of the pit and began slashing her opponent while aiming at his vital points. Emperor Yan dodged a few of her slashes at first, but once he noticed that her slashes could only make small cuts on his skin, he relaxed and continued to attack.
Their aggressive fighting styles were ravaging and brutal, and there was hardly any defense. Both techniques were protected by a unique aura and the users had vitality so strong that the battle went on for three days and three nights.
Lin Dan grew at an alarming rate. Although she was wounded all over, she had a fanatical look in her eyes which shone like the sun in the sky. Meanwhile, Emperor Yan had strong inner force and showed no signs of fatigue, but his clothes were tattered from Lin Dan's slashes which made him seem a little beat-up.
"No wonder you dared to issue a challenge with me openly. You're a practitioner of the Asura Sword Technique!" Emperor Yan gradually recognized Lin Dan's technique and was starting to fear her power. He no longer had the patience to slowly deal with her. He gathered all the energy he had in his right fist and struck with lightning speed that could not be seen by the naked eye.
Lin Dan could tell the trajectory of the fist but had no way to dodge it. She could only focus all her power on her sword and was prepared to die with him.
Fazhao lowered his head and called upon the buddha. Bai Yan immediately took a step forward, his emotionless eyes were already red.
Emperor Yan's fist and Lin Dan's blade hit each other's bodies almost at the same time. There were a few sounds of clanking before Lin Dan's bones were crushed by Emperor Yan. He smiled, confident of his victory. As his skin was as hard as iron, Lin Dan could not even leave a scar on his body after attacking him for three days and three nights. He thought there was no way she could hit his vital points.
But with a slash, a stream of blood spurted in the air and stained Emperor Yan's eyes red. He could not believe what happened and lowered his head to look at his chest. The Shura Sword had already pierced through his chest and straight to his heart. Blood was gushing out from on both sides of the sword before gradually being devoured clean by the blade.
"H-How can it be?" He muttered.
"Why not? Haven't you noticed? In the past three days, although my attacks may seem random, all of them are aimed at your vital points and at the exact same spots. I've already broken through your defense, just that I haven't dealt a fatal blow until now. I'll also teach you a lesson – do not think you can do whatever you want just because you are extremely talented. Remember, there is always someone more powerful than you in this world." Lin Dan retracted her Asura Sword and gave him back the same words he told her.
Without any blockage, more blood spewed out of Emperor Yan's chest. He glared at Lin Dan and slowly collapsed before taking his last breath. Lin Dan released foul gas before collapsing as well.
Bai Yan immediately flew towards her and caught her firmly. He was horrified to find that all her bones were crushed and her whole body had turned jelly. Moving carefully, he got Fa Zhao to take off his cassock and spread it on the ground before gently putting Lin Dan down.
Lin Dan spat out a lot of blood, but she looked at the sun above and smiled –It's so good to be alive!
"Stop smiling and take a rest!" Bai Yan cherished Lin Dan's smile, but her half-dead appearance was even more dazzling.
As they spoke, two air slashes were heard and two tall men appeared on the dilapidated Mount Kunlun. One of them was wearing a blue and white Taoist robe while the other was wearing a black attire and solemn face.
"Emperor Yun, she is the successor of the Asura Sword and you should know what to do!" They demanded to kill Lin Dan the moment they spoke.
Lin Dan looked at Bai Yan and muttered, "You're Emperor Yun? "
Bai Yan gently held her fingertips and instructed Fazhao to take good care of her before turning around and said, "I will protect her as long as she remains sane. Fight me if you have any objections." When his voice fell, his white robe was already puffed up from his strong inner force which also distorted the surrounding air. He carefully avoided Lin Dan and perfectly protected her behind him.
The two men were none other than Xiaoyaozi, who ranked fifth, and, Wei Qu, who ranked fourth on the list of martial experts. Emperor Yan's territory should rightfully belong to Lin Dan now that she had killed him, but it could also go to anyone who killed Lin Dan. The purpose of their appearance was not to uphold justice but to seize resources.
However, they had never expected that Emperor Yun, who was never interested in getting himself involved in anything, would openly defend Lin Dan.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]

Although the five Grandmasters each ruled their own territories and rarely had any exchanges, as martial artists of the same level, they inevitably knew each other personally. Just as Bai Yan and Fazhao were close friends, Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu were also friends of Emperor Yan. They had long been hiding in secrecy to watch the battle and recognized Lin Dan's martial art technique.
All Asura Sword practitioners had eventually caused bloodshed in the world. They may have died for hundreds or thousands of years, but the terrible memories they left were never forgotten. Not only did Bai Yan's sect instructed its members to kill the Asura Sword successor, but other martial arts sects had also received a similar command.
As the lord of Lianyun City and the top Grandmaster of Eastern Tang, Bai Yan should have come forward and eliminated the world's threat. Instead, he stood in front of Lin Dan and said, "Come at me, both of you."
Bai Yan had challenged and won all four Grandmasters in a one-versus-one duel, but he had never fought against two Grandmasters at once. Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu were apprehensive at first but seeing that he was behaving so arrogantly, no longer hesitated. They had no confidence of winning him in a single-man duel, but it would be different in a two-versus-one duel.
"We shall not hold ourselves back then! Emperor Yun, this devil will one day pose a huge threat to this world. We have been instructed by our sects to personally remove this threat for the world. This is not a fair fight but a reasonable one and we seek your understanding. We hope that you will stop helping the evil and protecting the wicked!" Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu were still concerned with their dignity and made their actions sounded reasonable before starting the attack.
Bai Yan snorted and readied himself to face the enemies.
The fight broke out in an instance. Lin Dan wanted to witness the impressive fighting style of the top martial artist and turned her head with difficulty.
Meanwhile, Fazhao recited scriptures while creating an impenetrable barrier to protect Lin Dan. He chose to stand on the side of Lin Dan, not due to a friend's request but the calling of his heart. He knew that Lin Dan was not a devil.
Bai Yan looked back at Lin Dan, seemingly a little worried. But there was no room for any distraction in the battle against two Grandmasters. Wei Qu immediately took the chance and sent a palm wave towards him. However, he missed the attack as Bai Yan's body immediately dispersed like a cloud. In the next moment, Bai Yan appeared behind Wei Qu and attacked with a light palm wave, which was enough to hit him down to the ground. He spewed blood and was unable to get up for a long time.
Meanwhile, Xiaoyaozi took his sword and began thrusting at Bai Yan's formless and cloud-like body. It seemed as though Bai Yan was standing before his eyes but immediately dispersed like mist.
Xiaoyaozi's eyes widened and was horrified. He wanted to thrust his sword again but could not find where Bai Yan was. Like a madman, he slashed frantically in the air. Each time he drew his sword, Bai Yan's misty figure would appear at his point of attack. Over time, he was drenched in cold sweat. His facial expression was distorted and he had lost his mind. The outcome of the battle was concluded even before Bai Yan had revealed his true fighting abilities.
Bai Yan seemed uninterested in continuing the fight. He instantly appeared behind Xiaoyaozi and struck him to the ground as well. He had been using a mysterious technique against the two Grandmasters, but when it came to making real attacking moves, it only took him two palm waves to end the battle. Within less than half an hour, the two Grandmasters were defeated.
Lin Dan saw through Lonely Scarlet's Bagua Shadow Steps but could not see through Bai Yan's form technique. If Bai Yan was serious in fighting, she had no doubt that all five Grandmasters with all their powers combined had no chance against him. This man was so powerful that it was beyond anyone's imagination!
Bai Yan landed lightly on the ground. His white robe was still clean and neat and hair smooth as silk, as though there had been no fight at all. He said slowly, "According to the rules, your territories will belong to me if I kill you now. You should also know that nobody in this world would dare to stop me even if I turn into a cruel and ruthless, evil and unscrupulous man – because they can't."
Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu spat two mouthfuls of blood in a row, wearing an angry yet fearful expression on their faces.
"Don't dountootherswhatyou don'twantto be doneuntoyou. Stay away from me if you don't want anything bad to happen." Bai Yan actually gave them a chance to live.
Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu quickly got up and thanked him before helping each other down to the middle of the mountain and waited for their sect members to pick them up. Since then, they had remained dormant and were afraid to stand up against Bai Yan, not to mention speaking of killing Lin Dan. After the fight, not only were they defeated, they had also learned a terrible fact – Bai Yan's skill had reached far beyond the Grandmaster level.
"How are you feeling?" Bai Yan went to Lin Dan's side and wanted to stroke her cheek but quickly dispelled the idea. Lin Dan's bones were crushed and he did not dare to touch her at all.
"I'm fine. You should know that my technique will repair my body." Lin Dan said lightheartedly. It was already good enough to be alive and the serious injuries were nothing to her. She paused and said, "Thank you all." Without Bai Yan and Fazhao, she would have been killed by Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu as she could not move at all after that big fight.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
"I didn't expect the two Grandmasters to be so despicable and insidious, it was eye-opening." She joked.
Bai Yan was relieved to hear that and chuckled, "Grandmasters are humans too, they can get greedy and are not as noble as you think. After you became a Grandmaster, weren't you too poor to afford your own meals as well?"
Lin Dan was amused, she gave a faint smile and her eyes glistened.
Bai Yan stared at her, his eyes were full of fear and joy at the same time. He had already decided to kill Emperor Yan and save her if her life was in danger, even if it meant he had to break the rules of this world. However, she gave him a pleasant surprise. With perseverance and skillful technique, she won the fight. It seemed as though she had unlimited potential and never failed to surprise him.
"This is the Rejuvenation Pill, a great healing medicine of Lianyun City. Take this, and it will help you recover faster." Bai Yan took out the medicine he had prepared beforehand and gave it to Lin Dan, before carefully feeding her with water.
"Amitabha. My Nirvana Technique may useful for you as well. Please relax while I transfer some life aura to you." Master Fazhao said gently.
But Lin Dan refused his offer and said resolutely, "Master, having some life aura can indeed ease my pain, but I think suffering in pain is also part of my cultivation. If I allow myself to feel better by receiving some life aura from you, would this make me kill the innocent just to feel more comfortable in the future? I have to get used to this pain. It keeps me awake and serves as a reminder that, I am Lin Dan, not some Asura."
Fazhao who was still a little skeptical had now completely trusted her. He put his hands together and said in admiration, "Amitabha. You are the wise one who is favored by the Buddha. It was me who was blind! Since the incident has ended and Emperor Yun is here to protect you, I shall take my leave until we meet again."
"Goodbye, Master." The moment when Lin Dan's voice fell, a group of people arrived at the top of the mountain, including He Yufei who was following right behind them.
"Greetings!" The people bowed and pointed at Lin Dan, "Emperor Yun, this demoness is a practitioner of the Asura Sword Technique, if you still consider yourself a member of this sect, you must kill her!" These people were none other than the elders of Lianyun City. They had also been hiding nearby to watch the fight and knew what happened.
The two Grandmasters were unable to change Emperor Yun's mind, but these elders were his fellow seniors and should be able to persuade him, or so they thought.
Bai Yun took off his outer robe and covered gently on Lin Dan. He said without turning his head around, "Sure, you may kill Lin Dan. But you have to defeat me first." This was not consent but a way to stop everyone from killing her. Was there anyone in the entire Eastern Tang who stood a chance of winning Emperor Yun and kill Lin Dan? Not to mention that even Master Fazhao had taken a step forward and protected the seriously injured Lin Dan.
"Emperor Yun, she will lose her mind one day and become a bloodthirsty mad woman!" The first elder said anxiously.
Bai Yan held Lin Dan's fingertips and said tenderly, "I will always be with her. If she loses her mind…" He paused before continuing, "I will take her life myself."
Hearing what he said, Lin Dan was not afraid at all but smiled faintly.
Bai Yan could not bear to see her smile. He turned around slightly and said with glistened eyes, "Besides, what gives you the right to kill her? She defeated the world's top seven fugitives and destroyed the Plague City. She eliminated great evil from the world and saved no less than hundreds and thousands of people. But have you who, have been in this world for decades, done anything for the people? As you rise higher in status, you take lesser responsibilities of the world. Yet, you are acting all noble and superior right now? In comparison to her actions, shouldn't you feel ashamed?"
Bai Yan finally turned around and said word by word, "You don't feel ashamed, but I do! Before you said she's a mad woman, you must know that she lives a more sober life than any of you!"
Fazhao lowered his head and put his hands together, "Amitabha, indeed!"
The elders and others were unable to lift their heads up high after hearing what Bai Yan said. They thought of the current situation of Eastern Tang which had been more peaceful than ever and looked at the dying Lin Dan who was seriously injured. They bowed and left in shame. Bai Yan asked several female sect members to stay and take care of Lin Dan. He Yufei hurriedly followed and refused to leave.
He Yufei had been feeling uneasy these days. Lin Dan had been promoted to Half-step Grandmaster and now the Grandmaster. Not only did she defeated the four elders, Lonely Scarlet, and the seven fugitives, she was gaining reputation in the world that was almost comparable with the old Grandmasters. She was also lucky that even the Eastern Holy Sect had turned from an unorthodox sect to an orthodox one. He Yufei should have thanked Lin Dan, but looking at how much Bai Yan cared for her, she only wanted Lin Dan to disappear forever.
Since Lin Dan escaped from death and broke away from He Chongling's control, she had become He Yufei's largest thorn in the flesh.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]

It started to drizzle after the elders and others had left. As Lin Dan's bones were shattered, she could only stay still in the rain. Even so, she was protected from the cold wind and drizzling rain as Bai Yan created a barrier using his vigorous inner force.
"If your skill is far beyond the Grandmaster, what level is it exactly?" Lin Dan stared at the cloud-like barrier and asked curiously.
"Probably at the Martial Saint." Bai Yan had never let go of her soft hands.
"Martial Saint?" Lin Dan's eyes lit up.
Bai Yan nodded and said, "Yes, there is also Martial God after the Martial Saint level but I have no idea what's beyond."
"We can find it out, as long as we keep moving forward." Lin Dan was full of confidence in the future and her eyes were brighter than usual.
Bai Yan seemed to be pleased with the word "we" and chuckled, "Yes, we will find out one day. Have you ever regretted mastering the Asura Sword Technique?"
Lin Dan shook her head without hesitation and said, "How can I regret if I didn't have a choice in the first place? If not mastering it will bring me death, I rather live in pain. You probably don't know that I'm an orphan who was adopted by He Chongling's father and was trained to be his suicide squad. He threw me into the forest to fight with the beasts so that we would have to kill in order to survive. After escaping from the beasts, he made me kill my comrades. He did this so that we could turn into cold-blooded humans and eliminate our weaknesses. We were not given food or clothes and we had to face death every day. There was no one we could rely on, no one we could trust. We were treated worse than ants and were even more insignificant than dust."
Lin Dan took a sigh of relief and continued, "This is why, I must get stronger so that I won't be trampled on again. I have no other choice and won't regret walking on this path. I'm unlike you who came from a prestigious orthodox sect and have an extremely good background. Countless resources will be delivered to you even without you asking. I'm just like the mud in the ground, who will be crushed into dust if I don't learn to fight."
As Lin Dan spoke about her past, instead of looking resentful or upset, she looked peaceful. She was suffering from an immense pain all the time, but she lived with her head held high and that was good enough.
Bai Yan was heartbroken upon hearing her story and said, "But I have my regrets. I wish I could know you earlier. If I weren't blinded by my own prejudices, you wouldn't become who you are now."
Lin Dan smiled lightly and shook her head, "I chose this path myself and it is of no one's fault."
Bai Yan kept silent for a moment before closing his eyes with a pained look. After a short while, he took out a porcelain bottle that contained a liquid and gave it to Lin Dan. He said tenderly, "This is Lianyun City's special nectar that can dispel hunger and thirst with just one bottle. Since you can't eat or drink now, you will have one bottle of this each day so that your wounds can heal faster. I will get them to clean your body up later and help you change a set of clothes so that you feel more comfortable."
He wiped away the remaining nectar on the corners of Lin Dan's mouth and looked at her in silence for a long while before turning around to look at his female sect members.
They were all wet standing in the rain as they came in a hurry and did not bring an umbrella. Facing their city lord who was the only Martial Saint on the entire Eastern Tang, they did not even dare to breathe or look at him in the eye.
Having gone through many events with Bai Yan, He Yufei stepped forward and said, "Master, I have something to tell you. Could you come over here?"
Bai Yan glared at her before walking towards her and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Master, Lin Dan is a practitioner of a forbidden technique. You will be going against the world by protecting her. I thought it's best if you…"
Before she finished speaking, Bai Yan responded coldly, "He Yufei, who are you to say this to me? You are now a saintess of the Eastern Holy Sect. Because of Lin Dan's reputation, you are well respected by the people. When you were serving as her maid, you were well-protected and was never mistreated in the Eastern Holy Sect. Besides, she also saved your life from the evildoers. Your identity, status, and even life are all given to you by her. Others have the right to want her dead but not you!"
His words made He Yufei unable to continue. She hesitated before uttering with difficulty, "But Master, I said all these for your own good! You are the leader of the orthodox, you are pure and powerful. Why must you be associate yourself with Lin Dan and tarnish your good reputation? "
"Why did you become the saintess and leader of the Eastern Holy Sect, then?" Bai Yan said coldly without even looking at her, "Looks like my judgment was wrong. I thought you had a pure and kind heart and wanted to groom you. Since we have never gone through the rites of mentorship, you may go now. In the future, you better not act in the name of the Eastern Holy Sect, let alone Lianyun City. It is not wicked evildoers but the ingrates whom I despise."
Before He Yufei could continue, she was sent down the mountain by Bai Yan's palm wave. In a short while, Lianyun City and Eastern Holy Sect received a handwritten letter from Emperor Yun to deny He Yufei's identity. She could neither return to Lianyun City nor the Eastern Holy Sect anymore. In an instant, she fell out of heaven and into hell.
Lin Dan was unaware of what had happened. Under Bai Yan's meticulous care, she recovered quickly and wanted to leave Mount Kunlun the next day.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
Bai Yan followed her and asked with a smile, "Where do you want to go?"
Lin Dan pointed to the beautiful rivers and mountains under the clouds and said, "Let's travel all over the Eastern Tang and kill all evildoers before crossing the sea and exploring other lands."
Bai Yan asked, "Do you mind if I come with you?"
"Can you leave Lianyun City?"
"Of course, why not?"
"Let's go, then!"
Lin Dan waved and Bai Yan came after her, smiling. He knew that Lin Dan had lost the ability to love, but he was willing to spend the rest of his life with her. The first time when he saw Lin Dan along the Qing River, he knew the technique she was practicing and thought he would bring calamity to Lin Dan's life. Little did he know that, it was Lin Dan who brought calamity to his life instead.
But he did not resist it and was more than willing to face it.
In the heavens on earth, she was the only one…

Aftermath:
Under Bai Yan's guidance, Lin Dan quickly broke through and became the second Martial Saint of Eastern Tang. But unlike other great martial experts, she was approachable and loved fighting against injustices. Over time, she became famous and respected in the entire continent. In order to be associated with her, the Eastern Holy Sect did not dare to commit any evildoings but often do good deeds and turned into an orthodox sect.
However, the Asura Sword Technique that Lin Dan hid in the sect was stolen and had gone missing for the past ten years.
In a remote mountain forest of the Eastern Tang, He Yufei who was filled with hatred and sorrow finally lost her ability to love and mastered the Asura Sword Technique. In those days, she often had the same dream – she got along with Bai Yan, who was hiding his identity, and became his disciple. Over time, they fell for each other and even married to each other. As Bai Yan taught her all the best techniques he knew, she was able to rise up and become a legend in the Eastern Tang. On the other hand, Lin Dan was mummified after being devoured by He Chongling, and not even a single bone was left.
But once she woke up, she had to face the harsh reality – she was only a lonely and poor woman while Lin Dan was someone people respected and looked up to.
She thought she could challenge Lin Dan to a duel after mastering the technique and wanted Bai Yan to regret his decision. Little did she expect that mastering the Asura Sword Technique meant that she would have to endure the constant and endless pain. She could not withstand the pain even though she was promoted to a Half-step Grandmaster.
She lifted the knife and slashed frantically, realizing that her pain would lessen from the movement. She hurried out, wanting to fight against someone. But there was no one in sight as she was practicing the forbidden technique in a secluded forest.
Quickly, she used her inner force and ran wildly in the jungle, but this only made her feel slightly better. The pain of being slashed a thousand times was still present and tormented her. She could not imagine how Lin Dan had been enduring it. Back then, she saw that Lin Dan could still eat and sleep, and was no different from ordinary people. Yet, she was certain that they had mastered the same skill, the Asura Sword Technique! Only then did He Yufei understand why the first elder said that Lin Dan would go crazy someday. She realized that her willpower was nothing compared to Lin Dan's.
After only two days of running in the jungle, He Yufei was already tiring of living. She slashed furiously with her sword and howled to the sky with bloodshot eyes. After struggling for two more days, she could not resist the attack of the death aura and died after her heart ruptured. She did not even have the chance to leave the jungle and show her mastered technique to the world.
Many years later, someone strayed into the deep forest and found bones lying beside a book that clearly wrote, "Asura Sword Technique."

Although Ding Mujie was the senior grand secretary who held political power, on his deathbed, he held a tablet tightly and was full of regret. Before he died, he muttered, "If I could start anew, he would definitely not fall into Lin Dan's trap and be forced to marry her, let alone watch Lin Wan marry the brutal King Kang and squander her life away.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was no longer in the netherworld, but was walking on a path full of flowers. A servant was leading the way, turning his head and apologizing from time to time, "Master Ding, please forgive me for taking too much time. Linshui Pavilion is right ahead, it is a specially designed rest stop for men. A new set of clothes will be prepared and you may change your dirty clothes there so that you won't catch a cold. I still have something else to attend to, do you mind heading there by yourself?"
Ding Mujie immediately recalled that this was the scene where he could change his fate. Although the servant worked under Marquis Jiang, he had already been bought over by Lin Dan. He deliberately spilled a drink on his clothes and led him to the Linshui Pavilion, where he would be locked up by Lin Dan, who was already waiting for him. When Madam Lin realized that her daughter did not return, she would beg Madam Jiang to find her daughter before discovering that they were locked in the same room together.
As he could not prove his innocence, he had to call off his engagement with Lin Wan and instead marry Lin Dan. This made others think that he was a greedy and opportunistic man who gave up the second daughter of the family to marry the first. But none of them would have thought that this was all Lin Dan's scheme. She had fallen for him for a long time and would often send letters to him. She did not give him up even though she knew that he was engaged to her own sister.
Whether it was a dream or an illusion, Ding Mujie did not want to associate himself with Lin Dan anymore.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]

Ding Mujie originally planned to leave as soon as possible, but after he thought, it would be better to give the young man a warning, or indirectly let Lin Dan stop, so he stopped and said: "Here is more and more deviant, it's clearly the inner courtyard. How could it be a resting place for male guests. Don't lead me indiscriminately."
The young man resisted the panic and argued: "Childe Ding, how dare I fool you. If you offend a female guest, I would not live anymore."
Yes, if you offend a female guest, this little servant would indeed get into big trouble. However, in the previous life, Ding Mujie was caught by Jiang's guests. He was already incontrovertible, and he was kidnapped by the Lin family before he could find the young man to reason. Lin Dan got what he wanted and was overjoyed. Thanks to this little servant, it was too late, so where would he get at him? What's more, this is Jiang's Mansion. They themselves have committed such a scandal, and they want to pour dirty water on Duke Jiang's head. The offending person is not one or two. Even the Lin family didn't dare to provoke Jiang's Mansion too much, let alone a proverbial man without power and influence?
In the previous life, the boy was so safely escaped in the past, and also did the housekeeper in Jiang's Mansion, but now, Ding Mujie cannot do anything to him. He could grab the little servant, bring him to Childe Jiang to reason, pierce the lies, and make the young man pay the price, but what then? If the young man's mouth is not tight, what should I do if he confesses to Lin Dan? You know, Lin Dan is still waiting in the Linshui Pavilion, and being blocked is another big trouble.
Although he didn't like Lin Dan's entanglement, he didn't hate her either. After all, he owed Lin Dan a little more in his last life. He married Lin Dan unwillingly, but he was a stranger to her, and he had never taken the initiative to care about her. Later, the Lin family was in a disaster. In order to prevent Lin Dan to do some stupid things, he locked her at home for five years. He watched her withering like a flower and leaving silently just after her twenty-fifth birthday. He was a thousand miles away at the time, and he didn't have time to come back to see her for the last time.
In the same way, he also failed Yu Lin. She could only marry King Kang as a concubine and finally was poisoned to death by King Kang's favorite concubine. He silently guarded Wan Lin for half of his life, but only guarded her tablet. He always remembered the skinny, haggard-shaped Yu Lin tightly holding his hand, and intermittently said: "Jie Mu, if there is no sister, if I can marry you, then it would be great…", She left away from him first, making him cry so much.
Now he finally returned to his dream, back to the time when everything had never happened, the only thing he wanted to do was to change everyone's ending, to rewrite those tragedies, not to avenge anyone.
He took a deep look at the little servant and pointed out: "It's too remote here, I always think it's wrong. Anyway, it's a sunny day, and the drinks on your clothes will soon dry up, and you don't need to change your clothes anymore. Why did you bring me here? I don't want to ask about it. Let's go. It's not easy to be a servant at the moment, so behave yourself and don't offend anyone indiscriminately."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a joking voice behind him: "What do you want to behave yourself? But this servant neglected Master Ding?"
They looked back, only to see Childe Jiang standing among the flowers and looking over with a smile. Ding Mujie didn't change his complexion, and he talked with him about this thing in a few words, but the little servant was out of his mind, his face was like golden paper as if he was terribly scared. Childe Jiang didn't go into details and accompanied Ding Mujie back to the front yard. After a short while, he found another reason to leave temporarily.
He came to the study, looked at the little servant detained by the two guards, and asked in a deep voice: "Let's talk, what happened just now? What did you do with Ding Mujie in the backyard?"
The little servant was still quibbling at first, but after being broken a few fingers by the guards, he confessed bitterly: "Childe, it was the eldest daughter of the Lin family who bought the minion and asked the minion to take Master Ding to the Linshui Pavilion. I don't know exactly what to do!"
"Eldest daughter of Lin Family, Lin Dan?" Childe Jiang pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing brightly.
—
Lin Dan was awakened by a burst of embarrassment. She was weak, her hands and feet were soft, and there was a fire in her abdomen, which made her very uncomfortable. She wanted to jump into the ice water to calm down, and she wanted to moan and roar, and she was on the verge of losing control.
"Get out of here!" A hoarse voice rang in her ears, and she realized that she was lying on the couch next to a man, and seeing his red-faced and dilated eyes, she should have also been drugged.
No, I was tricked! Lin Dan didn't have time to think about who she was and where she came from, this thought came to mind first. She wanted to get up but found that she was bound tightly by a rope and couldn't move. The man was not tied up, but the level of drugs was obviously very deep. Just controlling it took all her mind, so how could he loosen the tie for her.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
If Lin Dan asks him for help, he will rush over in the process of loosening the restraint, showing off his beastly desires.
Lin Dan took a deep breath and calmed down as soon as possible. Although there was a sense of confusion of not knowing where she was, she had subconsciously adjusted her breathing and entered a state of cultivation. This body has Kungfu, and its aptitude is excellent, but she hasn't developed internal strength. Lin Dan doesn't know who she is, but when it is difficult to get out of danger, her brain will automatically extract some useful information so that she can escape as soon as possible.
Relying on her instinct, she started to operate her dantian, but after a while, there was already a mass of heat in her belly, which catalyzed her lust, but also allowed her to regain some strength. She didn't have time to practice, and she didn't dare to continue. There was a voice telling her that if she cultivated to a certain level, bad things would happen.
When she closed her eyes and settled, the man gritted his teeth in her ear and said: "Who are you, why are you here?" His tone was full of doubts, and he clearly regarded Lin Dan as the culprit.
Lin Dan ignored him, feeling that there was enough power in her body, and then opened her eyes and struggled slightly. Hearing a muffled sound, the rope that bound her was broken into several pieces. She got up, first dizzy and wobbly by the violent lust, and then barely stabilized her figure.
The man looked at her dumbfounded, obviously surprised by her infinite strength.
In order to stay awake, Lin Dan took off a golden hairpin and opened the skirt again, revealing her legs in white trousers.
The man thought she was completely controlled by the drug and wanted to take off her clothes. He hurriedly scolded: "I am King Zhuang Xian Li. Before you act, it is best to think clearly whether you can afford the consequences of provoking the royal family."
The drug of Xian Li is a soulless drug in the palace. At first, it will make people feel weak and unable to move. When the lust accumulates to the extreme, it will become crazy. But now he is in a situation where his hands and feet are weak, and he can't even leave here, so he takes it for granted that Lin Dan has reached the point of madness.
Lin Dan didn't even give him a corner of his eye and slammed the golden hairpin into his thigh fiercely. However, she seemed to have been accustomed to suffering, and this little injury only made her frown, and it didn't help to clear her head at all. As a last resort, she had to stab many times in a row until the thigh was dripping with blood before giving up.
To prevent others from seeing the abnormality, she tore off a section of the curtain, wrapped the bleeding wound layer by layer, firmly fastened it, and then lowered the skirt to cover it. Every time she took a step, there was a sharp pain in her legs, but instead of causing her to fall, the sharp pain made her more awake.
While doing all this, the memories belonging to the original owner also poured into her mind, but they failed to help Lin Dan figure out the current situation. She only knew that her name was Lin Dan. She was the granddaughter of Dingguo General Ji Lin and the prostitute of Yangwei General Tie Lin. She drank two more glasses of wine at the banquet hosted by Jiang's family. She was a little dizzy and came here to have a rest. When she opened her eyes again, she was drugged and tied up, standing side by side with a young man.
After learning the identity of the man, she almost immediately realized that this round was not for herself, but for the Lin Family and King Zhuang, so she said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I am more afraid to provoke the prince than anyone else. I'm Lin Dan, the eldest daughter of the Lin family."
Xian Li was already frightened by the fierce stabbing of her thigh, and it took a while to react. She was explaining to herself. She said no more words, and just reporting her identity is enough to make Xian Li understand that she cannot frame the prince.
The Lin family is loyal, and generations of men have died to defend the frontier. Only the king and the country are in their hearts, and they have no selfishness. Therefore, the monarchs of the past dynasties were very relieved of the Lin family and entrusted them with important tasks. In order to maintain the integrity of the family, the Lin family is only loyal to the monarch, never close to any prince, and will not be contaminated with the seizure of a concubine.
If Lin Dan really had happened something with King Zhuang, even if she was caught on the spot, the Lin family would not let her marry into the palace, but would put her in robes and send her to the temple as a nun. She designed to frame he, and she really couldn't get the slightest benefit.
Thinking of this, the gaze that Xian Li saw her was no longer as guarded as before.
Lin Dan couldn't trust him at all. She picked up the rope on the ground, tied his hands and feet tightly to the bedpost, and explained: "To prevent you from losing control, I can only do this. Since you are King Zhuang, then you should understand the end that provokes me."
Xian Li was initially a little angry, but he calmed down immediately after hearing this. Indeed, like Lin Dan, he could not provoke the Lin family. He didn't like to fight in front of his father and the emperor, so he was trusted by the other party. Seeing that the prince and King Kang were fighting secretly, in order to prevent himself from being affected, he had submitted a memorial and was ready to go to the border to fight. In order to accumulate military merits and contacts, he also needs the power of Ji Lin and Tie Ji.
If he touched Lin Dan today, not only would Ji Lin and Tie Lin hate him, but also his father's impression of him would fall to the bottom. The uncontested image that he has worked hard to create over the years will be shattered in an instant, leaving the emperor with the impression of quick success and unscrupulous means. Not only will he be unable to join the army in the future, but he will also be detained in the imperial city, making things more inconvenient. At that time, both the prince and King Kang will regard him as the number one enemy and try their best to eradicate him, because his mother concubine was once the Concubine Shu of the monarch, and even if she died for more than ten years, she can still be remembered by his father.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]

With Xian Li's cooperation, Dan Lin quickly tied him.
"You lie down here, I'll go first." Feeling the blood on her legs shed some more, she tore off a section of the curtain and tied it thickly and roundly. Seeing her face dripping with cold sweat, the lust in Xian Li's heart has been completely replaced by shock.
Everyone in the world says that the Lin family does not have a coward and that men and women are of characters. He used to think that he was exaggerating, but today he clearly realizes that this is true. If he and Dan Li were exchanged, he would definitely not dare to do such a cruel thing to himself.
"Be careful." Looking at Dan Lin's thin back, he couldn't help but exhort.
"Relax, I will never implicate you. When I go outside, I will quietly call your servants over and let them send you away."
Xian Li shook his head and said, "You don't need to call my servant over. It's fine for me to lie down like this." No matter who framed him today, he must pay the price. A prince was drugged and tied up in the room. In order to protect the face of the royal family, the father would definitely investigate carefully, and would also feel guilty towards him, and thus doubt the other princes. In this way, he could persuade his father to let him leave the capital and go to the border to practice.
Dan Lin immediately realized that he wanted to use a bitter trick, so she didn't insist on it anymore and opened the door to go out. She has a keen perception, even if she is tens of feet away, she can detect whether there is anyone nearby, so the way back is all going well without being seen by others. She did not show up at the banquet but asked the maid of the Jiang Mansion to tell Miss Lin secretly that she had a period. She was embarrassed to go out and meet people and asked Miss Lin to bring clean clothes and pants to the east chamber to meet in the room.
The maid ran away with a generous reward. Finally, she found Mrs. Lin in the crowd and quietly handed her a message. This is a private matter of a girl, and it is very shameful. The maid will not think about it at all, let alone mention it to others.
Mrs. Lin was afraid of her daughter being shy and afraid that her daughter would not dare to come out to meet people, so she personally delivered clean clothes. As soon as she entered the door, she was pulled into the room by Dan Lin, Dan Lin explained the previous things in detail, and said: "Mom, I was helped by a few of my maidservants to the Linshui Pavilion, and then I fainted inexplicably. You have to help me."
These maidservants were all selected by the original owner, and they usually looked fine, but now that this kind of thing happened, Lin Dan didn't dare to use them anymore, and simply handled them all. The Lin family was so powerful and it was coveted by people in the dynasty. Several princes dreamed of pulling the Lin family into their camp. As the daughter of this family, Dan LIn would naturally not cause them trouble.
No matter what was happening around her, she would not deliberately conceal it. Instead, she told Madam Lin to let her and her elders deal with it. She is very disdainful of these underhand methods and is even more impatient to deal with them.
Mrs. Lin lifted her daughter's skirt and looked at her bloody wound. Her teeth were trembling with anger: "Well, these monsters have actually schemed against my Lin family. I will definitely not let them go!" The voice just fell, there was a commotion outside. It was King Zhuang who had been found, and he was rushing to the hospital for treatment.
Madam Lin took the opportunity to say goodbye, and after returning home, she arrested all the maids and old women in Lin Dan's yard and questioned them one by one.
But Dan Lin didn't care about these things. After returning to the room, she carefully cleaned up the memory of the original owner and found that she had a secret crush on Ding Mujie, the fiancé of her concubine Yu Lin, and stole many of Ding Mujie's personal belongings, taking them out from time to time to take a look and touch them. These items are a large number of bits and pieces, including letters, paintings, jade pendants, purses… and each of them is stamped with Ding Mujie's private seal. If it is revealed by people, it will be a problem.
Dan Lin acted decisively and immediately burned everything that could be burned, and the ones that could not be burned were crushed into powder and sprinkled in the flower beds in the backyard. As soon as all this was done, someone came to the front yard, saying that it was the old general who requested it.
Lin Dan came to the front hall and found that the maid, whom the original owner relied on the most, was lying on the ground with a very scared expression. Seeing her coming, the maid rushed to hug her feet and cried bitterly: "Miss, please save me!"
Seeing that General Lin's expression was very bad, Lin Dan kicked the maid away and said bluntly, "What did she just say?"
Father Lin looked at the old man, then looked at the innocent daughter, and replied: "She said that Linshui Pavilion is the place that you decided to go by yourself, and the people are also sent away by yourself. The purpose is to meet Ding Mujie privately. You have had an affair with him a long time ago, but I don't know why, the person in the room will become King Zhuang.
There is no private meeting with Ding Mujie in the memory of the original owner, and it can be seen that the maid is lying. Dan Lin pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I haven't seen Ding Mujie before, let alone talk about personal affairs? If I took the initiative to ask him, why would I pass out inexplicably? Why would I be drugged? This is not a normal procedure for a private meeting between men and women."
Seeing her straightforward words and open expression, Father Lin couldn't help but feel relieved. He knows his daughter best, and there is no concealed thing.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
General Lin also calmed down and said: "I believe you, you were taught by me, so how can you do such shameless things."
Lin Dan nodded without blushes. Anyway, the person who did those things was the original owner, not her. What's more, the original owner was indeed framed. Although she loved Ding Mujie, she also knew that he was the husband of the concubine. The grandfather and father would never agree that their sisters could marry easily, so they just thought about it in their hearts, or took the concubine sister to come to the yard to inquire about Ding Mujie's situation, and didn't dare to do anything more.
As the old general Lin said, she also knew shame.
The maid hurriedly shouted, "The young lady really ordered this matter. If you don't believe it, you can go to her room and look it up. She has already accepted some things privately from Ding Mujie!"
Dan Lin sat in the same position calmly, waved her hand and said, "Go and check, I'll wait here." She didn't even say a word to defend herself.
Seeing this scene, Old General Lin and Father Lin couldn't help but feel more at ease with her. After a while, the old lady who had searched the courtyard came back, and she didn't find anything suspicious but found a lot of valuables in the maid's house, which was definitely not something people like her could afford.
The maid never expected that those treasures had been dealt with by Lin Dan, and she panicked. No matter how much she has to defend, she can't say it now. Old General Lin and Father Lin have obviously determined that she is a betrayer and framed Lin Dan, and today's matter involves King Zhuang, even if the Lin family wants to suppress it. The emperor won't let it be dealt with easily.
The maid knew that she could not escape, and in order not to be accused of murdering the royal family, she had to confess the culprit.
Father Lin couldn't believe it and said: "You said that Hui Lin asked you to do this today?" Hui Lin is no one else, but Father Lin's daughter. She is often invited to Jiang's Mansion to participate in poetry meetings. Although Wan Lin's talent is not comparable to that of the sixth sister, she still has a bit of aura, so she has been there a few times.
Dan Lin was the weapon-brandishing since she was a child and had not been to Jiang Mansion. Thinking about it this way, she didn't do it today, because she is very unfamiliar with Jiang Mansion. On the contrary, Hui Lin can set up this trap by her knowledge of Jiang Mansion.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Father Lin became, his face showing a bit hideous, and he heard the maid's sorrow and grievingly: "I didn't want to do this, but sixth young lady was holding my sister, and I could not help but listen. She is jealous that the eldest young lady and seventh young lady are more favored than her, so she designed to frame their fiance's, and wanted to teach them a lesson. When eldest young lady married an ordinary people, the seventh young lady got a divorce, and she was the best of all the young ladies, so she will naturally be valued by the general."
"Just to fight for favor, she trapped her sisters in injustice and the Lin family in danger. She is really my Tie Lin's good daughter!" Father Lin was very angry and immediately asked Hui Lin to confront her.
The thing was not done, but in the end, it involved King Zhuang and the imperial family, and it was such a big noise. The charge of "assassinating the prince" was suppressed, enough for Hui Lin to die hundreds of times. After Hui Lin returned home, the more she thought about it, the more disturbed she became. Without waiting for her grandfather and father to interrogate, she knelt down as soon as she started and confessed. She said that she was a ghost and had lost her mind, and begged her grandfather to save her, and not send her to the yamen.
At this point, General Lin realized that it was true that Hui Lin wanted to harm her sister, but he did not expect that someone would take advantage of it and set up a plan to involve King Zhuang. Had it not been for Lin Dan for this girl to pierce her thigh to keep herself awake, and leave there in time, the Lin Family and King Zhuang would have been taken in this time. With Lin Hui's little tricks, how could it be possible to take King Zhuang into captivity?
Had it not been for Lin Dan to pierce his thigh to keep himself awake and leave there in time, both the Lin Family and King Zhuang would be involved this time. With Lin Hui's little tricks, how could Wang Zhuang be involved?
It's a small thing to cause a scandal, but it's a big deal to lose your mind. The prince and King Kang had already fought fiercely. At this time, the Lin family got involved again, and it was uncertain what the emperor would think. Once involved in the controversy of seizure of the protagonist, making the king suspicious of the Lin family, then the Lin family's merits will be turned into evidence of crime in an instant.
Since ancient times, how many generals have died because of meritorious deeds? General Lin counted, but he couldn't count them. He considered it for a long time and finally got Lin Hui tied up and sent directly to King Zhuang's Mansion.
Fortunately, the emperor still trusts the Lin family very much. Knowing that this trap is absolutely impossible with the Hui Lin, he asked the guard to blame fifty club and sent her home, and ordered King Zhuang to suppress the news so that he would not destroy Dan Lin's reputation. When King Zhuang checked, he could only find Hui Lin, so he gave up. But because of this, the emperor even more suspicious of his sons. Seeing that King Zhuang was lost since childhood, unattended, and really pitiful, he approved his memorial and asked him to go to the border to practice.
Hui Lin didn't dare to get out of the carriage when she returned home and asked someone to bring a hooded cloak and cover herself from beginning to end so that she could be carried down. Father Lin refused to see her, so he only asked the servant to bring her a word, saying that he would marry her far away when she got healthy. Don't think about the big family, she can have enough food and clothing even if the Lin family is worthy of her.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]

Dan Lin's poisoning drug is the secret medicine in the palace that has been lost for a long time. As the name suggests, after taking the medicine, people are as if they have lost their souls. They only know that they want to be a beast, and they don't care about the consequences. If one can't control it, It is very likely to die in bed.
Fortunately, King Zhuang was discovered in time and sent to the hospital, otherwise, the person would be abandoned. But what surprised the emperor even more was that Dan Lin, who was also drugged, was able to stay awake with her own willpower, and didn't let herself and King Zhuang fall into a disaster. Sure enough, the Lin family are all hard-hearted generations, and even women don't let them down.
Because of this incident, the emperor left a very deep impression on Dan Lin, not only did not blame her but also quietly sent the imperial physician to the Lin family to treat her and rewarded many treasures.
The sober King Zhuang may not let go for a long time. As soon as he closes his eyes, Dan Lin will appear in his mind. She clenched her teeth and pierced her thighs time and time again; she tore off the curtains and wrapped the bloody wound with force; she pushed open the door and walked out without looking back. The obvious wound was so painful, but her steps were very large, and her back was straight. She was like a beam of light, disappearing into a blurred background…
Thinking of this, King Zhuang couldn't help covering his warm eyes, and laughed at himself: "Xian Li, you are really useless, you can't even compare to a woman." He has not stepped onto the battlefield but has already taken Dan Lin from his body. Realize what cruelty is. Although she is not a soldier, under the influence of her ears and eyes, she has a kind of cruelty that is deep in her bones and only military personnel have. Be cruel to others, even more cruel to yourself.
It was also from this day that he completely abandoned the idea of going to the battlefield and make military exploits easily, and was ready to start with a small soldier. He can't even compare to a woman, so how can he be responsible? If he relied on his father's favor to instigate and do whatever he wanted in the army, but on the battlefield, he was so scared that he would throw his helmet and abandon his armor. Wouldn't it be a joke in the world?
Dan Lin didn't know what kind of mental journey King Zhuang had gone through, let alone caring about his body. She was lying on the couch now, letting the two maids bandage her wounds.
"Miss, is it painful for you, do you want to be lighter?" The two new maids kept asking, for fear of hurting the master.
"Just dress the wound, don't ask." Dan Lin was looking at it with gusto, holding a scroll of military books in her hand.
"Sister, I came to see you. Does your wound still hurt?" A petite woman walked into the inner room, holding a brocade box in her hand.
Dan Lin looked up and found that the person here was the original owner's favorite and most ashamed sister Yu Lin, so he pulled the corners of her lips and said hello. As the name suggests, Wan Lin is very gentle and moving, with a fresh and elegant taste in every face and smile, which is very attractive. Unlike Dan Lin, the beauty is too gorgeous, too eye-catching, and a little inaccessible distance.
Although Wan Lin is the daughter of a concubine, her mother is a saint brought back by Tie Lin from Miaojiang. Her blood is noble. She has also saved Tie Lin's life. She is regarded as the great benefactor of the Lin family. After marrying to the Central Plains, she stayed behind closed doors. Keep her duty safe, but also sensible. Tie Lin is very fond of the mother and daughter, and Mrs. Lin never feels sorry for them, so the relationship between Dan Lin and Wan Lin is closer than the other sisters.
"Ah, sister, you have been hurt so badly, don't you have to go out for months?" Wan Lin couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw the wound.
"The injury is not serious, it will heal soon." Dan Lin waved her hand.
"It's not serious to say that the injury is like this, I blame Hui Lin, I never expected that she was that kind of person…" Wan Lin said that her eyes were red, and she turned away quickly for fear of causing her sister to be sad. To wipe the tears. In order to make her sister happy, she opened the box and smiled: "Sister, I brought all the collections of poems you asked me last time. You hurt your leg and can't walk. Just stay in the room and read more books."
Dan Lin was not interested in the collection of poems, just glanced at it lightly, and then fixed her eyes. She saw that the handwriting of one of the poems was obviously different from the others. At this time, the Great Wei State had invented engraving and printing. The books on the market were basically flat lowercase, but this one was completely different. Not only was the handwriting chic and elegant, but the cover was also painted with an elegant ink. Lan, looks very extraordinary.
With all the memories of the original owner, Dan Lin immediately recognized that this book was copied by Ding Mujie, and his cover was also painted by him.
She stared at the book for too long, so that Wan Lin noticed it, hugged the book in her arms, and emphasized: "Sister, this collection of poems was copied for me by Mujie himself, and I haven't finished reading it myself. If it wasn't for your broken leg, I would really hate to take it out. Good sister, you must return it to me after you read it, don't lose it again!"
In fact, the books are not lost, it is clear that they were taken by the original owner to see things and think about people. Dan Lin looked away expressionlessly, waved her hand and said, "Take these books back. I feel pain in my head as soon as I see them." The original owner always only loves spears and sticks. If it were not to cater to Ding Mujie's aesthetics, she would not force herself to study, and Dan Lin was even more uninterested in these groaning things.
Wan Lin was still grinning and poked her head with her finger, groaningly said: "I know you won't last a few days. Forget it, you can take it back if you don't like it, I can't bear it!" Wrap a few books carefully with silk cloth and put them back in the brocade box.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
Dan Lin spoke with Wan Lin patiently for a while, and then left her for dinner, only when the sun was about to go down did he euphemistically rush people. She is not a person who loves to chat, and she is actually not interested in many topics mentioned by Wan Lin. I don't know why, she seems to have a lot of knowledge in her mind. As long as the outside world gives her a trigger point, this knowledge will automatically spontaneously pop out for her use.
Wan Lin is proficient in poems and songs, Dan Lin pretends to be ignorant on the surface, but in fact, can catch all of them. Wan Lin occasionally mentioned partial knowledge such as mathematics, Wu Xing, and Ba Gua, and she also knew very well. She thought, she must have been an extremely knowledgeable person before her amnesia.
After being patient for more than an hour, Wan Lin said goodbye. Dan Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing her walking to the door with her hands empty, Dan Lin couldn't help but reminded: "Don't forget your collection of poems."
"Ah, I was so happy talking to my sister, I almost forgot!" Wan Lin hurried back to get the brocade box.
At this moment, a maid said through the curtain: "Seventh young lady, madam wants you to go to the front yard as soon as possible. Ding's family has come to propose marriage!"
Lin Dan arched her hands and said, "Congratulations to my sister."
Wan Lin gave Dan Lin a look of anger and joy, then ran out, covering her face. The maid she brought jokingly said: "Look at the urgency of our young lady. With a real person, even the most precious collection of poems is no longer needed. Miss, the servants, and maids took these things away, so you can rest well.
Dan Lin nodded unnecessarily and waited until everyone in the room was clean before he came to the backyard, and looked around the rows of weapon racks. This is the place that the original owner loves most. She will come here to practice martial arts diligently whenever she has time, and she does not relax a little because she is a woman. But since that day, after seeing Ding Mujie secretly with Wan Lin in Mingjue Temple, and hearing about his talents, she became stunned, and gradually gave up martial arts and switched to learning poetry and singing. She was not a person for reading at all, she had a headache when she saw poetry, but she persisted.
Dan Lin doesn't know whether the original owner's persistence is meaningful, she only knows that she will never change for anyone. As long as she thinks that she will become a vassal of a certain man because of the so-called "love", and then lose herself, she will feel an extremely strong sense of rejection in her heart.
In order to dispel this dull feeling, she picked a large knife and danced vigorously.
At the other end, Ding Mujie was standing in the hall, saluting General Lin and Madam Lin respectfully.
Mrs. Lin seemed to inadvertently said: "In the future, you will take care of this girl Wan Lin. You have seen a few of their sisters. Wan Lin has the softest temperament and is stronger than Dan Lin. You must not bully her. "
Ding Mujie quickly promised: "I will take good care of Wan Lin, please don't worry, Madam. I have only met Wan Lin with a few of their sisters, and I don't know the temperaments of the others. It's not bad to think about it. Weak temper has the advantage of being weak. Being strong has the advantage of being strong. A hundred kinds of rice can support a hundred kinds of people. It just depends on whether you can meet the right one."
Ding Mujie's words made Mrs. Lin completely relieved. Dan Lin said that she had never met Ding Mujie, and Ding Mujie also said that he had never met Dan Lin. How could the two of them have an affair? The maid really was talking nonsense.
Ding Mujie didn't show up on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He never expected that King Zhuang would be carried out of the Linshui Pavilion. He thought that Dan Lin had caused a catastrophe her time and offended the royal family. Later, he asked more and knew that Dan Lin was not involved. He was relieved.
In order to prevent long nights and dreams, he immediately urged his mother to come to Lin's family to propose marriage, so as not to miss Wan Lin again in this life. Yes, he can already be sure that he is not dreaming, but rebirth, rebirth when no tragedy happened. He had enough time to treat Wan Lin kindly, and Dan Lin had a good ending.
When Wan Lin and his mother Shi walked into the hall, they saw Ding Mujie standing side by side, with a thoughtful expression. He praised his clothes and his face was deep and three-dimensional, like a sculpture. Hearing the noise, he turned his head slightly and found that the person who came was his fiancée, and his beautiful thin lips immediately opened up with a gentle and extremely faint smile. The eyes that were already brilliant as stars radiated dazzling light, and she was so beautiful that he couldn't breathe.
Wan Lin immediately lowered her head to avoid his scorching gaze.
Shi first saluted Tie Lin and Madam Lin and then met the two relatives by marriage before sitting down to listen. In her daughter's marriage, she could not be the master as she is a concubine, but she had a special status and was kind to the Lin family, so Mrs. Lin was especially gracious to her. She didn't say a word during the whole process, but nodded frequently as if she was obeying her madam's arrangements, so the two parties quickly booked the wedding date.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]

The wedding date was set, and the wedding invitation card was changed. Ding Mujie thought he could marry Lin Wan and spend the rest of his life with her. But three days later, his mother suddenly came and looked for him and said with a gloomy face, "Dear son, I just asked someone to check on the marriage astrology between you and Lin Wan. You are the fire in the sword, and she is the water in the sky. You two are incompatible as fire and water, and your lives are incompatible. If you insist on being together, I'm sure you'll make a scene in the future. "
"How is that possible?" Ding Mujie denied subconsciously.
His sister, Ding Xiang, immediately agreed, "Mom, who is that fortune teller who said so? How could he get such an outrageous conclusion? Brother and Lin Wan sis are a perfect match! "
Ding's mom knocked her forehead and scolded, "What fortune teller? Don't talk nonsense! I consulted a grand preceptor about their marriage astrology. How can that be inaccurate?" The grand preceptor is a well-known virtuous woman in the Wei dynasty. She was very proficient in metaphysics. All the rich families in Beijing liked to consult her for fortune-telling, and they were almost accurate. If it weren't for the help of the Lin family, she wouldn't have the right to meet the grand preceptor.
When Ding Xiang heard that the grand preceptor calculated the Ba-Zi, she immediately went quiet. She glanced carefully at her brother with full of sympathy.
For some reason, Ding Mujie suddenly remembered that the grand preceptor had taken Lin Wan as her apprentice in his previous life and helped her gain a firm foothold in the backyard of King Kang. Otherwise, after the Lin family was destroyed, Lin Wan would not be able to live well. Ding Mujie didn't know how and when she got the favor of the grand preceptor. He only knew that the grand preceptor treated her as her own daughter.
Now that something was wrong with the Ba-Zi, advised by the grand preceptor, Ding Mujie couldn't help overthink. Still, he blamed himself for being too suspicious.
He said gently, "Mom, please consult more people to check on our marriage astrology. What if the grand preceptor miscalculated?"
However, Ding's mom shook her head and said, "The grand preceptor said, if I don't believe in what she said, I can place your wedding invitation card in front of the Stove Lord Statue to trail the God's will. If within three days, there are people or animals who were restless and broken bowls or lanterns in the house, there is no need to calculate anymore. Both of you are certainly incompatible with each other."
It is a tradition to place the wedding invitation card under the statue, and Ding Mujie had no reason to stop it. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's test God's will." After saying goodbye to his mother, he immediately called in the servants at home. He repeatedly urged them to be careful and not to be careless. He believed that as long as everything went fine, his mother would not stop his marriage with Lin Wan.
At present, he was only a civilian. He could only enter the imperial palace after the imperial examination. At the same time, Lin Wan was the daughter of the general's house. If it weren't for the fact that the Ding family engaged the daughter of the Lin Family in their heyday, he might not have been able to marry Lin Wan. To put it bluntly, even if there was really something wrong with the marriage astrology between the two of them, for the sake of the power and influence of the Lin family, her mother would at most feel uncomfortable, but she would not cancel the marriage.
Ding Mujie believed that everything was under his control, so he didn't worry at all. But what bothered him was that many strange things had happened in the Ding family in the past three days. First, the cats and dogs had become eccentric and irritable, often bark and bite, and then the fish in the pond had turned over overnight and died.
Ding's mother was scared out of her wits, so she was even more convinced of what the grand preceptor said. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Wan was the daughter of the general's house and she couldn't afford to offend her, Ding's mother would call off the engagement immediately. But after careful consideration that her son's future was more important. She gritted her teeth and concealed the fact that the Ba-Zi between the two of them conflict.
The Lin family also sent people to combine their Ba-Zi, but General Lin tried to save face. He did it with a former officer of the imperial astronomer and didn't take it to the temple outside. The result was definitely good, and he even said they were a perfect match.
—
Ding Mujie was shocked by the conflict Ba-Zi crisis, and Ding's mother also felt terrible. She had been delayed for a long time and hadn't presented the bride price to the Lin mansion.
One day, it was said that Princess Ming Zhu would hold a flower party in the countryside village. She invited all the ladies and young talents from the well-known families in Beijing to attend the party. Finally, Ding Mujie could leave his books aside and participate in the party. He knew that Lin Wan must be invited. If he participated in the party, he might have the chance to meet her. The two of them had wasted their lives with hatred. They must be together for the rest of their lives.
Lin Dan also got the invitation, but she didn't want to go, but her wound had already healed. Mrs. Lin was afraid that she would be bored at home, so she would force her to attend.
Princess Ming Zhu had always been at odds with Lin Dan. She disliked her for her rudeness and ignorance, but because of the power of the Lin family, she had no choice but to date with her. When the two of them get together, they would be like a diamond cut diamond. However, this time, Lin Dan was quiet. She just sat aside and ate cakes, ignoring the spies of Princess Ming Zhu.
Princess Ming Zhu took out a whip and flaunted, "This is a whip given to me by His Majesty. He used it when he was young. It's terrific."
"Oh my God! This is what His Majesty used!" The young ladies who were still touching the whip quickly withdrew their hands from it and praised, "No wonder the handle is inlaid with many rubies, and the tassels at the top are so smooth. Normal craftsmen can't make such a wonderful thing."
"Oh?" Lin Wan said bluntly, "My sister also got a royal whip. It's better than this."
Upon hearing this, Princess Ming Zhu was so angry and said aggressively, "My whip is the one and only in the world. How can it be better than mine! I don't believe it. Why don't y'all show it to me?"
Lin Dan said slowly, "Does my whip have anything to do with you? Why should I show it to you?" It took more than an hour to walk back and forth from the Lin mansion to this countryside village. Who had the patience to get it for her?
Princess Ming Zhu waved her whip and stepped forward. "Are you going to bring it? If you don't get it, that means you are lying! "[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
Lin Dan took a few steps back to avoid being hit by the tail of the whip. Unexpectedly, Lin Wan suddenly pounced over and said anxiously, "Don't hit my sister. The wound on her leg has just healed…"
"When did I hit her?" Princess Ming Zhu unintentionally pushed Lin Wan away. It was unexpected that Lin Wan took a few steps back and fell into the lake. She couldn't swim and just raised her hands and shouted for help. The more she struggled, the more she moves to the center of the lake.
To increase the fun of the banquet, Princess Ming Zhu arranged the male guests and female guests on both sides of the lake. It was fascinating to see each other across the sparkling lake. As a result, the male guests on the other side of the lake immediately noticed the movement at this side and looked over.
She quickly took off her heavy robe and was about to jump into the lake to save her sister, but she suddenly stopped. She squinted at Lin Wan with an unpredictable expression. After a while, she put on her coat again.
A man ran out from the other side of the lake, jumped into the lake without taking off his clothes, and swam towards Lin Wan. Then another man appeared and swam even faster. The first man had already held Lin Wan in his arms and was about to drag her to the shore, but the later man grabbed her over and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, King Kang, but she is my fiancée. I'd better carry her, or it will ruin her reputation."
His reason was so convincing that King Kang couldn't refuse. He had to let go of the woman and swam ashore alone.
Ding Mujie looked at his back and then at Lin Wan, who was pale in his arms and swam towards the female guests. After the two of them reached the shore, Lin Dan handed over her coat and said, "Her clothes are stuck to her body, prevent her from being exposed, you cover her with this. I'll inform my mother that you take her and wait at the carriage outside. We'll be out soon. "
Ding Mujie quickly took her coat and covered Lin Wan tightly. When he left the lake, he heard Princess Ming Zhu questioned, "Lin Dan, why didn't you jump into the lake and save your sister just now? She defended you, but you stood on the shore and watched the fun! "
Lin Dan said in a calm tone, "How do you know she needs me to save her?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Mujie paused for a while and then continued to walk forward. Lin Wan seemed to be frightened and embarrassed. She only covered her face in his arms and refused to say a word. Ding Mujie carefully put her into the carriage and stood outside comforted her softly. Not long after that, Lin Dan and Mrs. Lin came in a hurry to prevent Lin Wan from catching a cold. The two didn't say much to Ding Mujie. They thanked him and left.
Ding Mujie stood by the road and gazed at their carriage. His eyes darkened. After a long time, he rolled up his sleeves to check the bleeding wounds on his arm caused by Lin Wan. In her previous life, Lin Wan was saved by King Kang after falling into the water. To maintain her reputation, she had to marry King Kang as a concubine. In this life, although it was not the right time, he would not let her end up in the same way. But he didn't expect that when he swam to her side and tried to grab her over, she would resist him.
At that time, her eyes were opened, and she could recognize clearly who the person was, but why… as soon as Ding Mujie had the thought of it, it was quickly suppressed by him. After returning home, he urged his mother to go to the Lin mansion to propose marriage and set the wedding date. Ding's mother was delayed for more than a month until it couldn't be delay further. She then only brought the gifts to the Lin mansion.
The wedding date was finally set in the early spring of the following year, and there were still eight to nine months left, which was enough for Ding Mujie to prepare. But even so, he still felt insecure, so he instructed his sister to go to the Lin mansion more often and help him take care of Lin Wan.
Ding Xiang liked Lin Wan very much, so she agreed without hesitation. But she didn't expect that one day she would come back crying as if she had suffered a great grievance. Ding's mother had lost her husband in her early years. She had worked hard to raise her son and daughter, so she couldn't bear to see them being bullied. She immediately held her daughter and asked, "Tell me, did Lin Dan bully you again?"
"No, it's not Lin Dan," Ding Xiang burped and blamed herself. "It's all my fault! I have made a big mistake!"
"What? What mistake did you make? Ding's mother's heart skipped a beat.
Ding Mujie, who had just entered the door and said with a long face, "Don't worry. Tell us slowly. I'll help you solve the problem."
"Brother, I really didn't mean to do that. Today I wanted to see the headpiece that was placed at Aunt Shi's by the great emperor. But I didn't expect that my hand exerted too much force to it and broke the Phoenix's wing. That's the dowry of the great empress, which is very precious. When the great empress knew about it, she was furious. No matter how I apologized to her, she ignored me. Brother, I didn't mean it. I didn't expect it either!"
Upon hearing this, Ding's mother was so angry that she beat her daughter repeatedly. It was her fault for being careless. However, Ding Mujie's eyes darkened, and it reminded him of a past that was ages ago.
In her previous life, Lin Wan was seriously ill and abandoned by King Kang in the countryside village. He went and visit her secretly and listened to her recalling the past. She held his hand and sighed, "If back then, I didn't act tough and took the blame for my sister. Now I wouldn't have been detected by my ancestors. I was so sick, but I couldn't even go back home. If I am given another chance, I would have told my ancestor bravely that my sister broke the headpiece, not me. I miss my ancestors. I miss my parents. I want to go home… "
She was so pitiful, weak, and eager to miss her family and their loves, which deepened Ding Mujie's disgust on Lin Dan. But now, why did his sister break it?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]

These days, Ding Mujie repeatedly told himself not to overthink. After marrying Lin Wan, everything would go well. But now, he can't help but to think about it, so he said earnestly, "Don't worry, Xiang. Tell me what happened today in detail, and don't miss any of the details.
Ding Xiang wiped her tears and recalled, "Today, Miss Lin Dan and I had arranged to visit at her place. After entering the courtyard, I found that she was picking jewelry. Those gold hairpins and silver hairpins were nicely placed in the brocade box. They were stunning. I couldn't help but take a few more glances at them, then Miss Lin Dan said she would pick one for me. "
Speaking of this, she was a little afraid. Seeing that her brother was not angry, she continued, "I… I like those pieces of jewelry very much. I thought that since Miss Lin Dan would be my sister-in-law, it wouldn't be a matter, so I picked a silver hairpin. Miss Lin Din's servant said that I have good taste, where the item I choose is very exquisite. For some reason, she said that the great empress had placed a gold headpiece of hundred flowers and Phoenix in Aunt Shi's place. The gold headpiece was indeed an ingenious and amazing piece of craftwork. It was rare even in the palace, let alone in the market. As you know, Aunt Shi came from the Hmong community. She was good at making silver ornaments and making a kind of potion to wash the old gold and silver jewelry as shine as new. The great empress gave the gold headpiece to Aunt Shi and asked her to clean it, and she will return it tomorrow. "
Ding Xiang began to cry again and sobbed, "I was curious, so I begged Miss Lin Dan to take out the gold headpiece and let me have a look. Brother, you have to trust me. I just want to have a look at it, and I don't mean to do it. But when the gold headpiece was taken out, a servant suddenly told me that the Phoenix on the headpiece looks realistic. When it was worn on the head, its wings and tail would move as if it would fly into the sky. I felt a little tempted upon hearing this, so I picked up the headpiece and shook it. I wanted to see how the wings and tail moved, but just after shaken twice, the wings were broken! "
Ding Xiang seemed to be frightened and cried even harder. "I… I was very anxious at that time, but I didn't worry much about it. I just thought that I could compensate the great empress with the money. However, several servants of Miss Lin Dan told me that the gold headpiece was a treasure that the great empress brought from her natal family. It is very spiritual and could protect the family's marriage and brings good luck. It had been passed down for nine generations. When the great empress turns a hundred years old, she would send it back to her natal family and be passed down, which signifies a special meaning. "
"I was so terrified by their words that I don't know what to do. Brother, you have to trust me. If I had known that the gold pace is so precious, I would never have touched it no matter how curious I was." Speaking of this, her tone calmed a little. "It was fortunate I have Miss Lin Dan to help me. She immediately put the box back and asked me to go home as soon as possible and pretend that nothing had happened. She went to the great empress' place to apologize and take the blame for me. The two servants didn't look good and sighed all the way while sneaked me to the corner of the door. I felt guilty in my heart, so I asked them what would happen to Miss Lin Dan. They said that Miss Lin Dan was not favored by the great empress, and now it would be even worse. She would be punished. Fortunately, Miss Lin Wan is getting married soon, and it would only take more than half a year for her to be despised by the great empress. She can endure it."
Lily rubbed her eyes and continued, "My heart doesn't feel good. Miss Lin Dan is my sister-in-law. How can I let her suffer for me? After all, the great empress was her family. Even if she is married, she still has to filial piety the great empress. If they didn't get along well with each other, it would be embarrassing for Miss Lin Dan to be with her natal family. But I'm different. I'm just an outsider. Even if the great empress despises me, it won't affect me much. So, I went back and apologized to her personally. "
"The great empress was furious. She scolded me that I am from a poor family and envious of other people's good things. She also blamed the general for choosing the in-laws like our family. How embarrassing was that? I'm so ashamed of myself that I wish I could dig a hole in the ground and hide. Miss Lin Dan didn't dare to say a word. Later on, Miss Lin Wan came and took a look at the headpiece. She said that it had reached the extent. After passing down for nine generations, the spirit in the headpiece had exhausted, and it was destined to not be passed on. The reason I broke the headpiece is that God borrowed my hand to get rid of the attachment. It has nothing to do with me.
Speaking of this, Ding Xiang finally stopped crying and said gratefully, "The great empress has always favored Miss Lin Wan the most. She believes in Buddhism and fate. After hearing this, she immediately stopped being angry and did not punish us. She only sighed and sent me away from the Lin mansion. But I still felt sorry. After this matter, the great empress will definitely look down upon our family and you. After all, I'm still at fault. "
Ding's mother held her daughter in her arms and comforted her. After a while, she sighed, "I didn't expect that Miss Lin Wan to be that good. If she hadn't stood up for you today, you wouldn't have escaped so easily! You can't scold Miss Lin Wan anymore, and you have to personally thank her. Lin Wan is undoubtedly a good girl. She knows how to protect you at critical moments. When she marries our family in the future, you have to respect and listen to her. "
"Mom, I know Miss Lin Wan is a good person. I was wronged about her before. Sister Wan is even better, just like my own sister!" After this incident, Ding Xiang's perception of Lin Dan is much better than before, and she paid even more respect to Lin Wan.
Ding Mujie patted his sister's head and comforted her. After returning to his study room, he sat by the window and was lost in thought. All kinds of complicated and indescribable emotions flashed through his eyes from time to time. He sat from day until late night and finally walked out. He looked drained from his back.
The next day, he spent a lot of money to buy a hundred years old ginseng and went to the Lin mansion to apologize. Although he was very grateful to Lin Dan, he didn't dare to meet her. He only asked his sister to go to the backyard to express her gratitude in person. When they left the Lin mansion, Ding's mother secretly asked him if he wanted to meet Lin Wan, but for some reason, he refused for the first time.
After returning home, he studied many poems to prepare for the upcoming imperial exam and carefully planned for the wedding. However, he had just calmed down for two months and was caught off guard by another incident. Lin Wan was kidnapped on the way to the temple. Fortunately, King Kang saved her. However, the two fell off the cliff while escaping, and the guards only found them after a day.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
It was not pleasant to hear that a man and a woman spent a night in the wilderness alone. After being saved, King Kang proposed to take her as a concubine to protect Lin Wan's stature. If he didn't have a legal wife, he might have escort Lin Wan with a palanquin with eight carriers.
The Lin family would certainly not agree, and Lin Wan refused to be a concubine. She fell ill after returning home. On the contrary, after hearing about the news, Ding's mother felt like a thorn in her heart that couldn't pull it out anyway. Lin Wan's stature had been ruined. Having her in the family would destroy her son's career and made him a laughingstock in the city. Moreover, King Kang had a crush on Lin Wan, and marrying her was equivalent to set oneself against King Kang, which was more disadvantageous to her son's future…
After giving a long thought, Ding's mother thought that the best solution was that her family took the initiative to call off the engagement, so she went to discuss with her son. She knew her son had been fond of Lin Wan since childhood and had already regarded her as his wife. If possible, she also wanted to see them marry and live happily ever after? But now, the situation didn't allow the Ding family to hold on.
If the Ding family didn't want to give up their marriage, others would say that her son would rather be scum for the sake of the power of the Lin family. If he called off the engagement, others would scold him for being ruthless. No matter what his son does, he would be wrong in either way. It would better to be called a cruel man than a scum. Men can be ruthless, but they couldn't be spineless cowards. They would be looked down upon.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ding's expression became more determined. But before she could say anything, the exhausted Ding Mujie said, "Mom, I'm going to the Lin mansion to visit Lin Wan. We'll talk about the dissolution of engagement when I return. Don't worry."
In just two days, her son had been so haggard, which made Ding's mother feel heartache. She didn't want to make things difficult for her son anymore, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I won't urge you. You can do whatever you want."
Ding Mujie smiled, but his eyes were particularly dull.
—
In the afternoon, Ding MuJie, who had prepared a gift, came to pay a visit. General Lin felt sorry for him. Seeing that he proposed to visit Lin Wan alone, he agreed without hesitation. However, he knew it was inappropriate for him to visit her alone.
This was the first time Ding Mujie visited Lin Wan's room, but he didn't have any expectation or joy. He was in his thought while walking and looked very depressed. The servant leading the way didn't even dare to breathe. For some reason, Mr. Ding used to be gentle and easy-going, but now he was dignified and unapproachable.
"Sir, Lady Lin is inside. Welcome in." Two servants opened the bamboo curtain and said in a cautious tone.
Ding Mujie walked in without saying a word. When he saw Lin Wan lying like a withered figure on the bed, he felt that space and time were in a mess. She looked exactly like this when she was abandoned by King Kang in her previous life. He habitually held her fingertips but was avoided by her.
"Are you here to call off the engagement?" Lin Wan turned her head as if in despair.
Ding Mujie stared at her and didn't want to miss the slightest change in her expression. "No, I'm here to tell you that as long as you insist on marrying me, no matter how outsides talk about it and no matter how King Kang forces you, I will still marry you. Don't worry. As long as I agree, the general and the lady won't let you marry anyone else, even the prince. "
Lin Wan turned around, looking pitiful. "But but my stature has been ruined. Don't you mind it at all?"
Ding Mujie shook his head and said, "I don't mind. No matter what happens, I will marry you, cherish you and take care of you unless you refuse to marry me. What do you think, Wan'er? Are you willing to marry me?"
Speaking of this, Ding Mujie couldn't help but think, 'Are you willing', he should have asked this in his previous life.
Lin Wan was crying and sobbed, "I would like to, but now that I'm in such a situation, I feel ashamed to marry you! If you marry me, what would others say about you?
All she thought of was for the sake of her fiancé, but she didn't think of herself at all. Ding Mujie should have been happy. If it were in his previous life, he would have been moved to tears now. But the current Ding Mujie was no longer the young self. He was the chief assistant and was a man of few words who had been in the officialdom for dozens of years.
He stared at Lin Wan and said slowly, "No matter what others say, I will marry you as long as you are willing to." Wan'er, since you have agreed, I'll discuss with General Lin about the advance of our wedding date." Three days later, wait for me to marry you by escorting you with the palanquins with eight carriers." Then he stood up and left.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]

Ding Mujie had been in the officialdom for dozens of years and had always stood firm, which was sure that he relied on his own ability. He was too good at reading people's minds and using all kinds of methods to achieve his goal. Now, Lin Wan was no match for him. He wanted to get himself married and wanted to advance the wedding date to three days ahead. Lin Wan was anxious and quickly shouted, "Don't go, I don't want to marry! I don't want to marry you! "
Finally, Ding Mujie forced Lin Wan to tell the truth. After that, Ding Mujie only felt a deep sense of sorrow welled up in his heart, making him wanted to cry.
"The Ba-Zi, is your doing, right? Your mother is the saint of the Hmong community. It's not difficult to poison a pool of fish, let alone caused madness to my cats and dogs." He stood with his back facing Lin Wan, and his eyes were tightly closed because he was afraid that tears would fall as soon as he opened his eyes. He had been through so much hardship in his previous life, but he had only cried once when Lin Wan died. It seemed that he cried for her in the two lives, but it ended up like this…
"What Ba-Zi? I don't understand. What are you talking about?" Lin Wan denied, "I just don't like you, and I don't want to marry you."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you don't like me? You don't like me. Why did you blush and eyes flicker when you see me and pretend to love me as well? You don't like my lowly family or me? Ding Mujie continued, "The other day in the lake, I wanted to grab you over. When you turned around and saw me, you were shocked and resisted and subconsciously pushed me. In a critical situation, a person's actions often reflected her true thoughts. I know you don't want to be saved by me, but I dare not continue to have a deeper thought about it. "
He suppressed his sorrow and said, "You broke the gold headpiece, didn't you? But turned-out framing Ding Xiang. You invited her to the Lin mansion and brought up the topic with the jewelry, step by step aroused Ding Xiang's curiosity. Letting her take the initiative and offer her to see the great empress' headpiece without telling her how precious it was. After getting hold of her, you lured her to shake the headpiece with the golden wing that was already broken to fall. You pretended to be kind and wanted to take the blame for her, but in fact, you had already known that she was honest and kind-hearted and wouldn't bear you to do so. You are a kind and responsible sister-in-law in front of Ding Xiang, and you are also a good granddaughter in front of the great empress. You are liked by everyone, but you let Ding Xiang, who was the most innocent to be your scapegoat. She treated you sincerely. How did you repay her? "
Speaking of this, Ding Mujie's breathing pace became a little irregular. If he was a rookie, he might have been blinded by it. But now, he had already been in the officialdom and experienced many things. So how could he be deceived by these tricks? The tricks were played one after another, each of them was speculated based on Ding Xiang's weakness and lured her into falling deeper and deeper. While Lin Wan not only stayed out of the affair but also gained a good reputation. She was really good at speculating on people.
It was not that Ding MuJie failed to recognize her true face when he was reborn, but he still couldn't believe it. He had been obsessed with Lin Wan for two lifetimes. How could he give up on her so easily?
But now, there was no excuse for him not to give up. So not only did Lin Wan pushed him to a dead end, but he also pushed himself to a dead end. To achieve her goal, she was ruthless to others and even more ruthless to herself. Thinking of this, Ding Mujie suddenly turned around and stared at her with his red eyes. "That day in the Jiang mansion, I almost get myself scandalled with Lin Dan. Was that also your doings?"
Lin Wan flustered and dodged his eyes but still denied, "I broke the golden headpiece. I admit it, but I know nothing about the others. Don't frame me! You know that the great empress has never liked my mother and me. If she found out that I broke her treasure, my mother and I would be in trouble and would never like us. It doesn't matter to me, since I would be getting married, but what about my mother? She had to serve the great empress! After all, Ding Xiang is just an outsider. It won't affect her even if you take the blame for me. That's why I asked her to come here. I'm just a little coward and have a little intention. How can you think ill of me!" Then she began to cry.
But her tears could no longer touch Ding Mujie. In a trance, he remembered that in his previous life, with this pitiful look, Lin Wan got a lot of information from him. His plot was always seen through by King Kang, and he was almost defeated by the opponent. Fortunately, he went far away from Beijing and avoided King Kang's spies, and overturned the situation to better. At that time, he thought that King Kang had a capable person to help him, who was smart enough to guess every plot he made. He had thought of finding this capable person, either to take him back for his own use or to eradicate him. But he had never thought that the competent person was Lin Wan, and she had lived a prosperous life in the house of King Kang by betraying him.
In the end, he and the nine prices won the battle. Since King Kang was banished, Lin Wan was definitely fell out of his favor. After that, she was poisoned and sent out of the capital city by King
Kang for recuperation. Come to think of it that must be the last hidden plot of King Kang to catch him. But before he fell into the trap, King Kang couldn't bear it any longer and died, and his plot was utterly ruined…
Ding Mujie had understood many things that he failed to realize in his previous life, and he couldn't bear with it anymore. His red eyes closed slightly, and two drops of tear fell out. In his earlier life, at this very moment, he had been forced to marry Lin Wan and living a peaceful life, and he wouldn't be so anxious. As for Lin Wan, she got rid of her useless fiancé as she wished. She wouldn't have made many troubles and expose her true self.
She had been lying to him for a lifetime. Instead, she had used his love and power to fight for all kinds of benefits for herself. She made him couldn't forget her until the end of his life, and he even buried himself together with her memorial tablet…[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
The more Ding Mujie thought about it, the more he felt that he was a complete joke and laughed at himself while crying. His blood gradually turned cold.
"It's your family who is responsible for calling off the engagement. I don't want to be called ruthless." After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out. He had done enough for her both in his previous life and this life. From now on, he wouldn't care about her anymore. She made her own choice. Let her walk by herself.
"It's impossible for my father to call off the engagement voluntarily. Mujie, please help me for the last time. I beg you!" Lin Wan jumped off the bed and grabbed hold of Ding Mujie's sleeve.
When she got closer, Ding Mujie found that her pale face was done with makeup. She was not sick. It could be seen that she had been used to cheat to make herself live a better life. She was mean in betraying anyone, including herself.
This time, not only Ding Mujie's blood was cold, but his heart was also cold. He stared at her for a while and left without looking back.
Lin Wan chased after him and shouted, "Mujie, do you want to call off the engagement or not? Tell me the truth!" When she caught up to the door, she didn't dare to run further. She could only panicky look at his receding figure.
Ding Mujie's mind was in a mess. He rode on his horse and unconsciously came to the temple that he loved to visit the most in his previous life. After standing at the temple gate for a long time, he finally couldn't resist the suffering in his heart and slowly walked in. He saw a familiar figure standing in front of a wall as if she halted and looked at something.
"Why are you here, Lin Dan?" He said in a hoarse voice, with an expression as if it had been a lifetime.
"Don't you recognize me?" Of course, Lin Dan knew that the man was Ding Mujie. He was so handsome that she couldn't forget him as he was deeply engraved in her memory. But in theory, the real owner had secretly seen Ding Mujie several times, but the other party had never seen the real owner. So, they might not know each other at this time.
Ding Mujie was stunned for a while and said, "I'm Lin Wan's fiancé, Ding Mujie. I've seen you from outside of the mansion, and you've written me a letter. Have you forgotten?"
The real owner had indeed secretly sent several letters to Ding Mujie in the name of consulting poems and deliberately imitated the handwriting of Lin Wan. But Lin Dan wouldn't admit to such embarrassing matters. She didn't do that in the first place, so why would she admit it? Ding Mujie and Lin Wan were two big troubles, and she didn't want to provoke them at all.
"I don't know you, nor I haven't written to you." Speaking of this, she looked at the young monk, who was beside her, and said, "Give me the writing brush and ink. I would want to inscribe on the wall." It turned out that this wall was used for pilgrims to inscribe, and it was densely packed with poems, which looked very interesting.
Lin Dan initially just appreciated it and didn't intend to participate in it. But after meeting Ding Mujie, she changed her mind.
The young monk quickly brought a writing brush and a bottle of ink. Lin Dan picked up the biggest weasel hair writing brush and dipped it with dark ink. Then, as she moved her wrist, she wrote down a line of words – The prosperity of the great world, in a flash, a hundred years later, it would only end up like a handful of sand. After writing, she threw the brush to the young monk, turned around, and left.
Ding Mujie looked at the words in disbelief. After a long time, he laughed bitterly, and the laughter was full of shock, depression, and pain. The vigorous and fine strokes and the swift movement of the handwriting could be called the owner piece among the scribbles. It was not at all similar to the letters he had received. On the other hand, although the words looked ugly and unskillful, they were in the style of Lin Wan. He guessed that Lin Wan wrote to him in the name of Lin Dan to create a misconception that he and Lin Dan have been secretly in love with each other.
The "adultery" that had changed everyone's fate in their previous life must have been carefully plotted by Lin Wan. At the same time, Lin Dan was like him, unable to defend herself and could only marry into the Ding family. But because of that, he hated her, blamed her, mistreated her, and he would rather die than see her. After all, Lin Dan was also the most innocent and pitiful person. So, it was ridiculous that he was reborn and pretended to give her a good ending.
The both of them were not together was the best ending for Lin Dan…
The more Ding Mujie thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. He felt even more sorry for Lin Dan. He covered his eyes and cried quietly. The person he was in debt the most was not Lin Wan, but Lin Dan. However, even if there is another chance, he could not find any way to make up for her.
In a trance, he thought of the tragedy of the Lin family. He wiped his tears and left in a hurry. When he walked to the gate, he turned his head and looked back, silently judge the line of words – The prosperity of the great world, in a flash, a hundred years later, it would only end up like a handful of sand. But it turned out that Lin Dan was the one who knew everything, and they were all foolish.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "Novel Multiverse dot com" website @ ]
