"Please calm down, Miss! Please spare my life, Miss!"

The enraged young woman was none other than Zhuang Wuxia, the eldest daughter of Bijian Manor.

She glared with her large, bell-like eyes, pointed at her hair bun, and angrily scolded, "You bunch of good-for-nothings! You can't even comb a decent hair bun properly, what use are you?"

The maids were trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.

Zhuang Wuxia kicked over the dressing table and shouted sternly, "Get out of here, all of you!"

The maids, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, scrambled out of the room.

Just then, a beautiful woman with a slender figure and still charming demeanor gracefully entered the room.

Seeing the mess on the floor, she frowned and asked, "Daughter, what happened now?"

Upon seeing that it was her mother, Madam Zhuang, Zhuang Wuxia threw herself into her arms, sobbing, "Mother, look at my hair! It's so ugly! Those useless people can't even do this little thing right!"

Madam Zhuang gently patted her daughter's back and softly comforted her, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. Let me comb your hair again, okay?"

Zhuang Wuxia nodded, sobbing. Madam Zhuang helped her sit down and personally combed her hair.

While combing her hair, she asked, "Wuxia, you've been in a bad mood lately. Are you still thinking about that heartless man?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wuxia was instantly enraged, gritting her teeth and saying, "Mother, you're right! That bastard dared to abandon me on our wedding night! I should have killed him with my sword instead of letting him be taken away by someone else!"

Madam Zhuang sighed and comforted her, "Silly girl, that blind man is not good enough for you. He is unlucky to have missed out on the apple of our Bijian Manor's eye."

"But Mother," a hint of determination flashed in Zhuang Wuxia's eyes, "it's not that I want to marry a great husband. I just can't swallow this!"

Madam Zhuang's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "Silly girl, your mother understands your thoughts. How about this, I'll have someone prepare a bridal bouquet for the marriage selection. We'll choose a man even better than that heartless man, and you'll marry him off in style. Then you'll get rid of this pent-up anger, won't you?"

Zhuang Wuxia's eyes lit up, and she nodded emphatically: "Mother, you love me the most! Let's do it this way!"

Madam Zhuang smiled with satisfaction and ordered, "Someone, pass on my orders. Immediately prepare the embroidered ball for the marriage selection and send out invitations to heroes everywhere. Make sure that all the heroes in the world gather at Bijian Manor to choose their ideal husbands for my family!"

The news caused a huge uproar.

In just a few days, the area in front of Bijian Manor was packed with people and bustling with activity.

Xiao Feng, Zhao Yuwei, and Jing Shen squeezed into the crowd, staring at the magnificent manor gate before them, and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Colorful flags fluttered and incense smoke swirled in the square in front of the gate, where heroes and valiant men from all walks of life thronged, discussing the matter.

"Have you heard? The young lady of Bijian Manor is going to hold another marriage contest with a bridal bouquet this year!"

"That's right! I don't know what that heartless man was thinking last time, he actually turned down such a good girl from Bijian Manor."

"Hehe, this is our chance!"

Xiao Feng frowned as he listened to the murmurs around him.

He turned to Zhao Yuwei and Jing Shen and whispered, "Our purpose in coming here is to investigate the kidnapping of Ouyang Mingyue. Although the clues about the men in black point to Bijian Manor, we must not alert them. Bijian Manor has always been aloof from worldly affairs, and if we offend them too much, it may not end well."

Zhao Yuwei nodded: "But we have to find a way to get in and investigate."

Just then, Jing Shen's eyes lit up, and a sly smile appeared on his lips: "How about we disguise ourselves and sneak in? Anyway, there are plenty of people coming to Bijian Manor for the embroidered ball marriage contest. If we blend into the crowd, we probably won't be discovered."

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, and he patted Jing Shen on the shoulder: "Great idea! Let's do it this way."

Zhao Yuwei nodded slightly, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes: "Then I'll disguise myself as a man too, so it will be easier to carry out my plans."

Let's get right to it.

The three found a secluded spot, and Jing Shen quickly helped the two men disguise themselves.

Before long, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei's appearances were completely transformed.

Zhao Yuwei, in particular, was disguised as an incomparably handsome and elegant young man, so much so that even Xiao Feng couldn't help but take a second look.

The three of them blended back into the crowd and successfully entered the Jade Sword Manor.

The manor was resplendent in gold and jade, with pavilions and towers arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere.

Just as they were secretly marveling at the spectacle, they suddenly heard a deafening clamor of gongs and drums.

Everyone looked up and saw a woman in green standing in mid-air on a high platform.

Jing Shen stared intently and gasped, "Isn't that Zhuang Wuxia, the master's daughter?"

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei followed Jing Shen's gaze and saw that the woman in green had a graceful figure and a beautiful face. She was none other than Zhuang Wuxia, the eldest daughter of Bijian Manor.

The three exchanged a glance, quietly slipped out of the crowd, and stealthily made their way deeper into the manor.

"We need to be careful not to get discovered," Xiao Feng whispered, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Zhao Yuwei nodded and replied softly, "Don't worry, we've all disguised ourselves, so it shouldn't arouse any suspicion."

Jing Shen led the way, skillfully navigating the intricate corridors within the manor.

The three of them held their breath and moved with light steps, afraid of disturbing anyone.

Finally, they arrived at a carved wooden door.

"This is it, Zhuang Wuxia's room," Jing Shen said in a low voice, a hint of tension flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Feng took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door.

The three of them carefully slipped inside and quickly looked around.

The room was lavishly furnished, showcasing the owner's distinguished status in every detail.

Just then, Zhao Yuwei's gaze was drawn to something on the dressing table.

She strode forward, picked up a black jade pendant, and exclaimed in surprise, "Look! Isn't this the same jade pendant as the one worn by the man in black who kidnapped Ouyang Mingyue?"

Xiao Feng and Jing Shen looked closely and found that it was exactly the same as what they had seen before.

The three looked at each other, their hearts filled with turmoil.

"It seems Zhuang Wuxia is indeed connected to that man in black!" Xiao Feng said excitedly in a low voice.

However, Jing Shen frowned and shook his head, saying, "Not necessarily. I stayed at the manor for a few days. This young lady is quite willful and capricious, and has no guile. Perhaps she just picked up this jade pendant on a whim."

Zhao Yuwei nodded thoughtfully: "Jing Shen makes a good point. We can't jump to conclusions; we need to investigate further."

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

He patted Jing Shen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Since you've had contact with Zhuang Wuxia before, and now you've disguised yourself, why don't you approach her again and investigate this matter thoroughly?"

As he said this, a sly glint flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Upon hearing this, Jing Shen's expression immediately turned ugly.
