I know this woman, but I don't like her. Not only do I dislike her, but I can say that I truly detest her!
Standing before me with an air of grace and elegance, casually adjusting a few stray strands of hair that had fallen by her temples, is Ruo Chanjuan, the White Tiger of Mirror Gate.
Ruo Chanjuan lightly raised her delicate fingers to smooth down the loose strands. The dark hair fell to the side of her luscious red lips, which curled into a slight cold smile, adding an extra touch of icy allure to her already ethereal beauty.
If I were a man, I would surely be captivated by such a woman. But thinking about how she is shamelessly pursuing my idol, trying every possible way to step on me and take my place, ignites a fire within me. The most frustrating part is that my anger is futile; I can't overpower her.
We have analyzed the White Tiger before. Every word from Nie Qiuyuan made me roll my eyes internally, and by the end, he seemed hesitant to continue.
The four disciples of Mirror Gate rarely interacted because they didn't need to work together. So I have always been concerned about when Ruo Chanjuan developed feelings for Nie Qiuyuan; I suspect that Qiu might be hiding something from me.
Although they don't collaborate or compete against each other and don't know each other well, the higher-ups at Mirror Gate once conducted a comprehensive evaluation of them. The information that circulated indicated that among the four disciples, Ren Pingsheng had the strongest individual skills. No matter what it was—be it hand-to-hand combat, poison-making, hidden weapons, or investigative analysis—he excelled in all areas technically. However, when ranked together based on overall strength, the order was Xuanwu, Qinglong, White Tiger, and Zhuque.
Nie Qiuyuan has always been a composed person who never boasts, so if he says this, it must be true. Yet he has always been vague about himself; it remains unclear why Ren Pingsheng is considered the strongest in individual skills while being ranked first in overall assessment.
I have a feeling that perhaps this ranking is the reason Ren Pingsheng keeps a close eye on Nie Qiuyuan.
Ren Pingsheng wields unique weapons and possesses bizarre martial arts techniques that are difficult to grasp. He excels in poison-making and is known to be an inventive genius with many inspirations.
As for Zhuque, we have already analyzed him: he is strong, bloodthirsty, and adept at creating large-scale destructive weapons and formations.
Regarding the White Tiger, her skills remain—unknown!
Could it be that she is deliberately keeping this from me?
At this moment, I finally believe that Nie Qiuyuan must not be withholding information because Ruo Chanjuan's abilities are too dangerous; if concealed, they could very well cost me my life.
Ruo Chanjuan appears relaxed and even has the leisure to pose flirtatiously. I can't see how she could have used the Mind Manipulation Technique on others.
It seems that as a woman who has managed to rise among the four disciples of Mirror Gate, she must possess some remarkable skills.
I felt a chill in my heart. This Mind Manipulation Technique was truly a terrible skill; what if she controlled me and made me do things I didn't want to do?
Ruo Chanjuan flashed me a flirtatious smile, lightly parting her crimson lips as she said, "Come here."
I cursed loudly, "Vixen! Don't throw those seductive looks at me, I won't fall for your tricks!"
Ruo Chanjuan's expression changed, looking quite shocked.
Seeing her reaction, my mind raced. Why was she showing such an expression? After being insulted, she should be "angry," not "surprised." What was she astonished about?
Could it be that she was already trying to control me, but for some reason, it didn't work?
Ruo Chanjuan paused for a moment before commanding me sharply, "Draw your sword!"
This was a more explicit command, further confirming my thoughts. However, I felt no unusual sensation and had no desire to draw my sword.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that perhaps she simply couldn't mentally control me because I was different from others; my mental and physical combination was not original!
This was the first time I enjoyed the benefits of being a "transmigrator."
Nevertheless, I remained silent and obediently drew the short sword "Cai You" that Nie Qiuyuan had given me. Seeing that I had drawn my sword, she ordered again, "Come here."
Without a word, I approached her with a dazed look. As I got closer, I secretly concentrated all my strength in my right foot. With a sudden push off the ground, I launched myself toward her, my right hand thrusting the sword toward her chest with lightning speed.
Even though my martial skills were lacking, my agility and strength were quite good. This sudden attack completely caught her off guard. Ruo Chanjuan's face paled as she quickly dodged to the side but couldn't fully evade my strike. The sharp blade pierced through her left shoulder until the hilt was buried deep.
I had already injured her twice; she must hate me now.
Sure enough, disregarding the pain from her wounds, Ruo Chanjuan frantically reached out and grabbed my hair.
My long hair was tied up in a high ponytail, making it all too easy for her to grab hold. But I wouldn't back down either; I seized her hairstyle and pulled it into disarray. We both let out a piercing scream simultaneously.
If it were a fight without any technical skill, I would definitely not lose to her. But this is ancient times, and it's her home ground. Ruo Chanjuan completely disregarded the rules of fair competition; with just a flick of her hand, she struck my pressure point, rendering me immobile.
She let out a cold laugh, drew the short sword from her shoulder, and tossed it to the ground. Then, she whistled, and out of nowhere, a white horse appeared.
Ignoring the blood streaming from her shoulder, Ruo Chanjuan grabbed me and tossed me onto the horse's back before climbing up herself. The people from Shadow of the Night and Snowfall Villa were caught up in their own fights, struggling against their own allies in a desperate attempt to reach me. They could only watch helplessly as Ruo Chanjuan rode away with me.
I lay across the horse's back in an uncomfortable position, jolted so much that I felt like my bones were about to shatter. In my heart, I was extremely frustrated. I had thought that falling into Ren Pingsheng's hands was the most tragic thing in the world, but now I found myself in the clutches of my greatest rival. If given the chance, wouldn't she want to torture me mercilessly?
Come on! The disciples of Mirror Gate were fighting for their lives, doing everything they could to tarnish the reputation of the Tang Dynasty Government, while you specifically came here to take revenge on your rival. Is this really professional?!
I had no idea how long we had been riding; it felt like I was about to vomit. I cursed inwardly, wishing she would just bleed out and collapse! But she seemed completely unfazed. After what felt like at least an hour, she finally brought me to a desolate wilderness where not even a bird would nest.
In such a remote place by the mountains stood a stone fortress.
Ruo Chanjuan dismounted outside the fortress and dragged me down as well, throwing me onto the ground and gripping my collar as she pulled me into Stone Fortress.
My body was unable to move as I lay there being dragged along sharp stones and branches that scraped and cut into me, causing immense pain. Since my pressure point hadn’t been struck to silence me, I couldn’t help but curse at her.
She remained unfazed. Once inside Stone Fortress, she continued dragging me down a crumbling stone staircase. As I focused my eyes, I realized with horror that it was pitch black! This was nothing less than a dungeon for imprisoning criminals!
