In terms of killing, he had never feared anyone!

Assassins could kill, and so could he!

“Your opponent is me,” Su Yingxue proclaimed boldly. “Since you’re here today, let our competition begin!”

Saint Ruan was quite willing to engage her in competition. “Originally, we could have competed today, but there’s a decree from the palace. It has fixed our competition between us for tomorrow in the palace. Su Yingxue, are you afraid?”

“Afraid?” Su Yingxue’s lips formed a beautiful arc. “That word, I don’t know how to write.”

But why was the competition shifted to the palace?

Saint Ruan flicked his hair. “Don’t think I’m trying to steal the limelight. The emperor invited me to the palace. Our upcoming competition has spread like wildfire. The emperor forbids me from mistreating you and claims he wants to ensure fairness.”

He snorted, clearly discontented by Su Yingxue’s perceived attempt to gain advantages through influence.

“Then let’s meet at the palace,” Su Yingxue retorted.

She knew it wasn’t about justice being served at the palace. Instead, someone wanted to witness her public failure and death at the hands of Saint Ruan.

Originally a small-scale competition, the empress arranged it like a state banquet. Officials, military commanders, and the daughters of officials attended. In the vast Hall of Profound Literature, everyone awaited in anticipation.

Su Yingxue greeted the emperor and empress, sensing countless eyes on her.

Some were smug, others worried.

She noticed Lin Sisi, heavily veiled today, clutching her clothes tightly, deeply concerned for her.

Su Yingxue offered her a reassuring glance, calming Lin Sisi slightly.

In a daze, Lin Sisi accidentally stepped on someone’s foot nearby.

The person startled, crying out, “Ah!”

Lin Sisi quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, it was an accident.”

Seeing Lin Sisi in green attire, Xiao Ruxue’s eyes flickered with emotion. “So, It’s Miss Lin from Great General Lin’s residence!”

She was the daughter of Noble Consort Xiao’s maternal sister-in-law and daughter of the Minister of War, she had been considered as a potential match for Noble Consort Xiao’s son.

However, her mother informed her about Chu Jinling’s engagement. Lin Sisi was bestowed as his imperial consort.

She was curious about Lin Sisi’s capabilities.

Seeing her flustered, Xiao Ruxue’s eyes revealed a trace of ill intent. ‘Miss Lin, what happened to your face?”

Her voice drew attention. All eyes turned to Lin Sisi.

Lin Sisi clenched her fists in her sleeves. Her eyes widened as fear welled up in her heart.

“Jinling…” She whispered, subconsciously recalling Chu Jinling.

She was frightened!

Upon hearing her call, Xiao Ruxue’s demeanor turned cold. She put on a friendly expression and said, “Miss Lin, if you feel any discomfort on your face, don’t hide it. You must seek medical help soon. Let me check for you!”

“No!” Lin Sisi was full of fear and pushed Xiao Ruxue away inadvertently.

Lin Sisi’s martial arts were not weak. Xiao Ruxue, a Young Miss from a rich family, was easily pushed down by her.

However, Xiao Ruxue somehow fell to the seat. Her forehead hit the corner of the table and instantly turned red.

“Ruxue, what happened to you?” When Madam Xiao saw this, she nervously helped her up.

Xiao Ruxue leaned into her arms and sobbed. “Mother, I was concerned about Miss Lin’s face. Miss Lin accidentally… pushed me..”
