Hua Xuan had already sent a message to Xiao Murong, so she didn't return to her room. She thought to herself, "Even if Senior Brother Wen doesn't want it, Sister Murong will. I'd better not stay in my room; otherwise, Senior Brother Wen will laugh at me for being jealous." Thinking of this, she felt a pang of jealousy, and images of Wen Yuan and Xiao Murong's tender moments flashed before her eyes. Her face flushed, and she quickly shook her head, wondering, "What am I thinking?"

Feeling slightly embarrassed, she hurried along the corridor when she suddenly heard the sound of music coming from behind a side room door. The melody was pleasant and soothing. Hua Xuan stopped, thinking, "Is that Sister Ziyuan?" She gently pushed open the door and saw a young woman sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a pipa and gently plucking the strings—it was Ziyuan.

Hearing someone open the door, Zi Yuan turned around and saw Hua Xuan. A smile immediately lit up her face. "Miss Hua, is something the matter?" she asked. Hua Xuan, flustered, quickly shook her head. "No, no," she said. "I just heard Sister Zi Yuan's pipa playing so beautifully, so I opened the door to check. Sister Zi Yuan, am I disturbing you?" Zi Yuan smiled. "Of course not! Come, would you like to come in and rest for a while? You've been taking care of Young Master Wen; you must be very tired." Hua Xuan happily replied, "Okay!" Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed, thinking, "I am tired, but it's not entirely because of taking care of Senior Brother Wen."

Zi Yuan walked to the table, put down her pipa, poured a cup of tea for Hua Xuan, and said, "Is Young Master Wen feeling much better?"

Hua Xuan said, "Yes, Senior Brother Wen is very energetic..." Remembering their earlier encounter, her ears burned. She didn't say much more and took a large gulp of tea. Zi Yuan seemed to understand, her face flushing slightly. She said softly, "That's good then." Her slender fingers trembled slightly as she continued playing the melodious tune.

Hua Xuan had never been alone with Zi Yuan before. She secretly glanced at Zi Yuan a few times, finding her beauty increasingly exquisite, and couldn't help but sigh softly. Though the sigh was soft, Zi Yuan heard it and, curious, stopped playing the pipa and asked, "Miss Hua, what's wrong?" Hua Xuan whispered, "Sister Zi Yuan, you and Sister Murong are both so beautiful, only I'm still a little girl who hasn't grown up..." Zi Yuan blushed slightly upon hearing this and said, "Miss Hua, what are you saying? We're only a year or two apart, aren't we both little girls?" She covered her mouth and smiled.

Hua Xuan stared blankly at Zi Yuan and said, "But... Sister Zi Yuan, you're just prettier. I can't quite put my finger on it, but... that's just how it feels." Zi Yuan smiled and shook her head. "No matter how beautiful one's appearance, it will be gone in a few decades. I don't care about that," she said. Hua Xuan whispered, "But Senior Brother Wen likes him."

Zi Yuan gently held Hua Xuan's hand and asked, "Miss Hua, why do you like Young Master Wen?"

Hua Xuan was taken aback for a moment and said, "This..." She hesitated for a moment, a blush rising to her cheeks, and whispered, "Senior Brother Wen... he has always taken care of me since I was little, and he is very gentle... Although Senior Brother Xiang is also a good person, Senior Brother Wen is even better... um... and... um... um..." As she spoke, a shy smile unconsciously appeared on her face. She lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm not very good at saying anything else."

Zi Yuan patted the back of Hua Xuan's hand. She smiled and said, "Isn't that it? Young Master Wen's affection for us isn't based on looks. While men may appreciate beautiful women, that doesn't mean everything. When I first met Young Master Wen, we didn't even have a chance to meet, yet upon hearing his zither music, I knew...

his feelings." A sweet feeling welled up inside her as she softly added, "As for who among the three of us is prettier, that's naturally not the reason Young Master Wen likes anyone. To be honest, even Young Master Wen himself probably can't explain it."

Hua Xuan listened quietly for a moment, then suddenly said, "Sister Ziyuan, I have something to tell you, but please don't be angry." Ziyuan smiled and asked, "What is it?" Hua Xuan hesitated... Hesitating for a moment, as if making up his mind, he said in a low voice, "The day Senior Brother Wen took you out of Shuiyan Tower, actually... I wasn't very happy."

Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly added, "Sister Ziyuan, don't misunderstand! I'm so happy for you that you can leave that place and start a new life, really! I... I... I'm just... afraid that Senior Brother Wen likes you too much... I think he might be a little... jealous."

Suddenly, Ziyuan chuckled, gently covering her mouth with her sleeve, and said with a smile, "Miss Hua, you're really so innocent."

Hua Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed, "Sister Ziyuan, I'm being very serious!" Ziyuan smiled and said, "I know, I've heard everything." Hua Xuan flicked her fingers and whispered, " "Will you be angry?" Zi Yuan smiled sweetly and said, "What's there to be angry about? That time you and Miss Murong hid in my room, startling me and Young Master Wen. I wasn't feeling too comfortable then, just like you, a little jealous, right?"

Hua Xuan's eyes widened and she asked, "Sister Zi Yuan, you get jealous too?" Zi Yuan blushed slightly and said, "Sometimes. Knowing that Young Master Wen has two such lovely confidantes, how could I not feel at ease?"

She smiled at Hua Xuan and said, "But not anymore. Since we're together, isn't it good to be like sisters?"

Hua Xuan's mood brightened instantly. She happily grasped Zi Yuan's hands and exclaimed, "Sister Zi Yuan!"

Zi Yuan smiled gently in return. The previous estrangement between the two women vanished completely.

Several days passed, and most of the people in the Women's Manor whose injuries were less severe had recovered and were gradually regaining their strength. With the crisis resolved, Xiang Yang found himself missing Zhao Wanyan. However, since Wen Yuan's internal injuries hadn't fully healed, and the three fellow disciples had a chance to reunite, he didn't leave first, instead chatting and laughing with the others to ease the tension. With

the formidable enemy defeated, the atmosphere in the manor was no longer as tense and dangerous as before. Everyone's faces brightened, except for Lan Lingyu, who was deeply troubled. The reason was none other than Murong Xiu.

Murong Xiu had helped Hua Xuan obtain the antidote from Kang Chufeng, thus saving Yang Xiaojuan, and playing a particularly significant role in defeating Huang Zhonggui. Shi Niangzi had also expressed her gratitude afterward. However, Lan Lingyu was extremely conflicted. Thinking of Murong Xiu's blatant disrespectful behavior towards her, she felt deeply ashamed and indignant, yet he had also contributed greatly to protecting the Women's Manor, and had even saved her from the clutches of the Taotie and Yazi Crown Princes. She truly didn't know how to face him. For the past few days, every time Lan Lingyu encountered Murong Xiu at the manor, he remained silent, only smiling at her. Lan Lingyu felt extremely disgusted, yet she didn't know what to do.

That afternoon, Lan Lingyu strolled to the backyard of the Heroine Manor. It was June, and the heat was oppressive, further agitating her. She wandered to the open space in the courtyard where she usually practiced martial arts, unfastened her double halberds from her waist, and thought, "These past few days have been so irritable; I might as well practice some kung fu to vent."

Lan Lingyu then gripped the short halberds in both hands and began practicing the "Flying Swallow Halberd" technique. She executed each move with a whistling sound and flashing silver light, the halberds moving swiftly like swallows. In the blink of an eye, as she was about to finish the "Flying Swallow Halberd" routine, Lan Lingyu released her two short halberds, finishing with the "Double Swallows Separate Flight" technique, their speed like a shooting star, simultaneously embedding themselves in a large tree.

After Lan Lingyu finished practicing her halberd technique, she exhaled and approached the tree, intending to pull out her twin halberds. Suddenly, a voice came from behind the tree, saying, "How dangerous! If those two halberds had pierced through, wouldn't I have been killed on the spot? Hehe, hehe!" A figure slowly emerged from behind the tree—it was Murong Xiu.

Lan Lingyu's face changed drastically. She stopped in her tracks, glaring at Murong Xiu through gritted teeth. Murong Xiu laughed, "Why are you gritting your teeth? Hmm, those two halberds were thrown with great accuracy, one high and one low. The one above pierced my heart, but the one below was really powerful. I'd be castrated after I died." Lan Lingyu's face turned red with anger. She shouted, "You filthy thing! Get out of the way!" She continued forward, glancing sideways at Murong Xiu, quickly pulling out her twin halberds, and immediately jumped away.

Murong Xiu laughed, "What are you doing? Are you afraid of me? You specifically chose this tree to attack, weren't you trying to lure me out?" Lan Lingyu retorted angrily, "Who knew you were there? If I had known, those two halberds should have pierced through!"

Murong Xiu laughed heartily and said, "Still as stubborn as ever." He looked Lan Lingyu up and down and said, "You've sweated quite a bit. You still need to work harder on your internal energy cultivation. Or are you really just too hot?" Lan Lingyu was taken aback. Only then did she realize that her clothes were clinging tightly to her body under the sweat, and her figure was faintly visible. When she saw Murong Xiu's gaze, she was immediately both ashamed and angry. She shouted, "Stop your nonsense!" She put away her double halberds and turned to leave.
