Being a reborn legitimate daughter is not easy

Chapter 210 Chapter 210 Heart Thorn

Wu Qi lost?! Seeing Wu Qi suddenly freeze in place like Qiu Ben, no longer making any movement, everyone's "Good!" was stuck in their throats, their faces full of disbelief.

Ye Pianran's dodge in this round was quite embarrassing. When she broke free from Wu Qi's palm, many strands of hair had fallen from her forehead, and she was in pain in several places. One can imagine how dangerous it was just now.

She took a few deep breaths and waited for her heartbeat to calm down before ordering the Spirit Abyss Vine to withdraw from Wu Qi's body.

When Wu Qi regained consciousness, his expression was extremely complicated as he looked at Ye Pianran. He had thought he had victory in his grasp, but he had still failed. It seemed that those who could be brought to the Xuanjia Army camp by their general were no ordinary people.

"I lost," Wu Qi said calmly.

"My victory wasn't easy either," Ye Pianran said with a sigh of relief.

Wu Qi said, "The young lady doesn't seem to know kung fu, and her dodging techniques are unorthodox. I underestimated her and was careless." After saying that, he cupped his hands in greeting and turned back to the group.

At the same time, Ye Pianran heard a system notification:

[Side Quest 12: Successfully completed the task of gaining the approval of Wu Qi, the Xuanjia soldier. The completion rate is good, and the quest is rated "Excellent". This is a shared quest, so you will receive double rewards: experience points +2000, spiritual energy +800, Wu Qi's favorability +20, and good/evil points +30.]

Ye Pianran, Level: Physician Apprentice

Skills: None

Acupuncture beginner level, proficiency: 30/1000

Beginner level alchemy, Proficiency: 12/1000

Good/Evil Value: 30/100

Experience value: 2000/50000

Task completion rate: 37%

Space level: Initial level 1

Spatial spiritual energy concentration: 18%

This is still a task without any item rewards, but because it is a shared task, the rewarded experience points, spiritual energy, and good/evil points have changed Ye Pianran's task panel again.

As the values ​​changed, the spiritual energy in the space seemed to become even denser, which made the 666 in the space let out a joyful cry.

Ye Pianran was also overjoyed and couldn't help but turn to look at Chunyu Yang. Chunyu Yang happened to be looking at her as well, the firelight reflecting in his sharp eyes, shining with a light that only Ye Pianran could understand.

However, although Wu Qi's side quest was completed, Qiu Ben's side quest remained untouched. Ye Pianran knew that this meant Qiu Ben still harbored resentment towards her. Perhaps it wasn't just Qiu Ben; many others in the audience hadn't fully accepted her yet.

Wu Qi's recognition was just the beginning; many more difficulties awaited her. She knew that after these two matches, no one would underestimate her anymore; they would be more focused on fighting her, and her chances of victory would dwindle.

Ye Pianran closed her eyes, silently recited the mantra of the first level of the mental cultivation technique, and slowly adjusted her breathing to try to ignore the pain in her body.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and said firmly, "Again."

The soldiers on the field saw that although she had won, she had also been hit by Qiu Ben and Wu Qi one after another. Despite being in so much pain that her face turned pale, she still insisted on continuing. Although they did not completely agree with her, they were somewhat impressed with her.

This girl looks young, with delicate skin and a pampered appearance, like a spoiled young lady. But I never expected her to be so resilient. No wonder the general has taken a liking to her.

Then, the third soldier walked up to Ye Pianran...

Just as Ye Pianran had expected, this time her opponent was on guard against her and did not give her a chance to react. In less than two moves, the branch he was using as a weapon was placed against Ye Pianran's neck.

"Thank you for your kind words." The soldier put away his "weapon" and left the arena satisfied.

Then, the fourth soldier...

The fifth soldier...

The next person to enter the arena used swords, knives, spears, and other techniques never seen before, all unleashing their attacks on Ye Pianran. Ye Pianran was unable to continue her initial winning streak, and her defeat was so heartbreaking that Jingxuan and Ye Lingyue on the sidelines could hardly bear to watch.

After the soldiers who had fought against Ye Pianran left the arena, they kept glancing at her while whispering amongst themselves.

Ye Pianran's hearing is now many times better than before, and she heard every word they were whispering.

"Were there really women in our army before?"

"Absolutely true. Would the general lie to you?"

"Yes, there was indeed a woman in the army before. Guess who she was?"

"who is it?"

"She is our general's wife, the late Princess Consort of Beiwu."

"What? This happened!"

"Hey, you don't know, the former princess was General Zhan's only daughter. She initially disguised herself as a man to join the Xuanjia Army and was an excellent marksman. Even General Wenren was sometimes no match for her. Later, her identity was exposed. Hey, at that time we all thought she and General Wenren were about to get married, but who would have thought that she would become a princess in the end."

"...And who is General Wenren?"

"General Wenren's real name was Wenren Qi. He was the second-in-command of our Xuanjia Army, and his prestige in the army was second only to the Prince. However, he also died seven years ago..."

"Oh I got it."

"Then what is the general's intention in bringing this girl to the camp this time? Could it be that he intends to take another concubine?"

“How can an ordinary woman be worthy of him? Only a woman like the former queen can win the general’s favor.”

"I think the general still has feelings for his former queen and misses her too much, so he brought her here."

……

Ye Pianran stumbled, her body swaying almost imperceptibly. The consequence of this momentary lapse in concentration was that the soldier's long staff struck her squarely in the chest. A piercing pain shot through her chest, and blood trickled from the corner of her lips. She collapsed backward, utterly powerless.

"Tang Li!" Chunyu Yang's expression changed, and he immediately rushed forward, pulling Ye Pianran into his arms. Noticing that her body was trembling slightly, Chunyu Yang seemed to feel every bit of her pain, his heart clenched tightly, and his lips and teeth tasted bitter.

"That's it for today. There's no need for further competition. Everyone, disperse," Chunyu Yang said angrily. His palm was placed on Ye Pianran's back, carefully protecting her heart meridian with his true energy.

A steady stream of heat emanated from behind, attempting to alleviate Ye Pianran's pain. But Ye Pianran's heart felt as if it were blocked by countless wads of cotton, suffocating and aching, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Are you feeling any better?" Chunyu Yang asked in a low voice as he wiped the bloodstains from her lips.

His tension and concern were undisguised, but recalling the meaningful expressions on the soldiers' faces as they dispersed, Ye Pianran lowered her eyes, subtly freed herself from Chunyu Yang's hand, and stood up.

"I feel much better, thank you, Third Prince," she replied, her eyes lowered.

Suddenly, her fingers were grabbed. Jingxuan pulled Ye Yankang up to her with teary eyes and said, "Sister, you scared me and Kang Kang so much just now! Isn't your little vine very powerful? Why didn't you let that person suffer a little too?"

Meeting Jingxuan's gaze, Ye Pianran suddenly felt a pang of tenderness. She wanted to say something, but looking at Jingxuan's delicate and adorable face, she could only shake her head and sigh heavily in her heart.

Those unintentional words ultimately became a thorn, deeply embedded in her heart.
