Zhong Yu shook his numb arm and said, "The general is talking, and you, a ninth-rank Jinyiwei, have no right to interrupt. Get out of my way."

Xu Cheng pointed at Zhong Yu's face angrily and said, "I am just kindly reminding you that I just don't want to bother with you. If I really want to bother with you, you guys won't have enough lives even if you have a thousand lives."

Mu Nanjin nodded, thinking that he was right.

[If I were a calculating person, many people would die. ]

Hundreds of households: "..."

Zhong Yu sneered: "You are right. If she whispers a few words into the governor's ear, we really won't be able to die even if we have a thousand lives. But without the governor, she is nothing. Not to mention hurting me, she can't even hurt a hair on my head."

Mu Nanjin raised his eyebrows: "Flirting with the governor?"

[It feels quite interesting. How about sneaking into the governor's room at night and trying it out? ]

Hundreds of households: "..."

Liang Baihu lowered his voice: "Zhong Yu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhong Yu said, "Captain Liang, the whole Duwei Mansion knows about this, so why hide it?"

Liang Baihu frowned: "What do you know?"

Ai Qi snorted, "Who in the whole Duwei Mansion doesn't know that she helped the Dudu wash his underwear? If she hadn't used her sex appeal to serve the Dudu, how could she have been promoted from the ninth rank to the seventh rank so quickly?"

The centurions were silent for a while.

If I hadn't heard Mu Nanjin's inner thoughts, I would have really misunderstood that she was having an affair with the governor.

In fact, Mu Nanjin and the governor had never even touched each other, which was purer than a blank piece of paper.

"I see." Mu Nanjin finally understood: "You were not friendly to me from the beginning not because I am a woman, but because you thought I could be promoted to the seventh rank by using my beauty to please others. You even pretended to be defeated because of this and deliberately let Chunhua and the others attack me, a 'weak-handed' person. You wanted to teach me a lesson, right?"

Since she joined the Jinyiwei, she knew that many Jinyiwei looked down on women and disdained to associate with women, so she did not care about Zhong Yu and others' attitude towards her.

Zhong Yuren and others: "..."

They thought they had done it perfectly, but they didn't expect she would be able to see through it.

"What? You deliberately let Chunhua attack Mu Nanjin?" Captain Liang was really angry and very disappointed with Zhong Yu and the others: "How could you do this? What good would it do to you if Mu Nanjin was killed or captured? Is this how you treat your colleagues? It's so disappointing that you acted irresponsibly during a mission."

Zhong Yu's eyes flashed with guilt: "Mu Nanjin, don't slander us. We were no match for them, so there is no such thing as pretending."

Ai Qi argued: "At that time, Fang Dashi and his men kept spraying poison powder at us. We didn't even have time to dodge, so how could we care about you?"

The other general flags all requested to join in.

Mu Nanjin asked calmly, "Are you bullying me because I don't have any evidence?"

Zhong Yu and his friends refused to admit it: "We didn't do it, so don't frame us."

Mu Nanjin put his hand on the hilt of the knife: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, as long as you can prove another thing."

She slowly drew out the knife.

Fear flashed in the eyes of the centurions: "Mu Nanjin, show mercy."

Zhong Yu and the others were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Why did you pull out the knife? Are you trying to scare us with it? Haha."

"He can't even hold a knife steady, yet he dares to point it at us. He wants to die."

"Be careful, don't hurt yourself, haha."

Liang Baihu yelled at them: "Shut up."

Zhong Yu and the others snorted.

Then, they heard a swish sound and saw Mu Nanjin draw his knife swiftly. Before they could see what was happening clearly, they felt a chill on their heads and then a bunch of hair fell to the ground.

They looked at the hair on the ground, touched their bald heads, and then looked at Mu Nanjin with horror. The other party had not made any moves, but all their hair was shaved off, and their heads were shaved shinier than those of monks.

Ai Qi looked at Mu Nanjin in shock: "You, you know martial arts?"

Mu Nanjin said calmly: "Xu Cheng, can you help me count how many hairs I have damaged?"

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "We can't count this number by roots, we have to count it by heads."

Yang Bo added: "This is a damage to the hair on my head."

Liu Qian snorted coldly: "It's too cheap for them to just shave their hair."

"That makes sense."

Mu Nanjin suddenly sheathed his sword, and wind blew out of the scabbard, followed by a clanging sound.

“Ahhh—”

All the general flags screamed in pain. They were hit hard in the abdomen by something unknown. The pain made them quickly bend over and cover their abdomens. Finally, they could not hold on and knelt on the ground, as if they were kneeling down to apologize to Mu Nanjin. Their appearance was as humble as it could be.

Mu Nan lowered his eyes and looked at Zhong Yu and the others: "Zhong Yu, I accept your challenge."

Xu Cheng said with a snort: "You deserve it."

Zhong Yuren and others: "..."

"Walk."

Mu Nanjin took Xu Cheng and the others away.

Captain Liang was extremely disappointed with Zhong Yu and his men. He bowed to the other five hundred households and said, "Please report the truth."

Su Wubaihu frowned and said, "If you report it truthfully, it may affect your promotion to Wubaihu."

Captain Liang had been in the position of captain for two years. He had finally made contributions and was eligible for promotion to five hundred. However, it was not worth it to postpone his promotion because of Zhong Yu and the others.

"My men have repeatedly disobeyed my orders, and I really don't have the face to be promoted."

Before being promoted to the rank of centurion, Liang Baihu was under the same rank as Zhong Yu and his men. They often went on missions, made contributions together, and got injured together. Later, when the centurion was promoted, he was also promoted to the rank of centurion and took over all the general flags under the previous centurion.

Since he and Zhong Yu and the others were once brothers who had shared hardships, they always fought and quarreled with each other without any respect for seniority, so that there was often no distinction between superiors and subordinates. As a result, Zhong Yu and the others always disobeyed his orders in the past few days.

Captain Liu once told him that it was not a bad thing to treat his subordinates as brothers, but there had to be a limit. However, once this limit was exceeded, he would no longer be like a centurion or a general commander like Zhong Yu and his men, and if it went on for a long time, Zhong Yu and his men would not take him seriously.

At that time he just laughed it off and even thought it was a good thing. But after this incident, he realized that he would not be a competent centurion if he could not make his subordinates obey his orders.

Su Wubaihu sighed and patted his shoulder, then left with the other five hundred households.

Captain Liang looked at Zhong Yuren and the others who were still kneeling on the ground with their hands on their stomachs and said, "As brothers, I have advised you many times to shut up and be polite to her, but you didn't listen and insisted on imagining things. I can only say that the current situation is your own fault. I can't help you. You should take care of yourself."

This time, he would not plead for them.

"Why..." Zhong Yu said angrily, trying to hold back the pain: "Why didn't you tell us that she knows martial arts?"

"I didn't tell you for a reason. It's not that I want to hide it from you. Besides, even if she doesn't know martial arts, you shouldn't treat her like this."

Captain Liang didn't want to say anything more and turned to leave the prison.

The jailer asked, "Prison boss, why do you say that?"

"If Miss Mu is such an easy person to bully, can she still control the prince and his son? Why don't the general flag and his men understand this truth?"

The prison boss's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Zhong Yu and the others who were kneeling on the ground to hear it clearly.

All general flags: "..."

They always thought that Mu Nanjin was using the emperor's power to suppress the prince and the crown prince, so they didn't take Mu Nanjin seriously.

Aiqi felt that the pain in his abdomen was no longer so severe, so he slowly put down his hands and tried to support his body.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, his whole body felt like it was falling apart and he screamed in pain: "Damn it, it hurts, it hurts so much."

Seeing how he was in so much pain, the others didn't dare to move.

Zhong Yu asked: "Does it really hurt so much?"

Aiqi fainted from the pain to show how much pain he was in.

Yu Jie said anxiously: "Ai Qi, Ai Qi, are you okay?"

Fan Zhi raised his eyelids with great effort and looked at Ai Qi: "He must have fainted from the pain."

Yu Jie endured the pain and cried out, "Prison boss, prison boss, please call a doctor."

The jailer shook his head: "No, no, no, I dare not. Without Miss Mu's permission, I dare not help you find a doctor."

Yu Jie was furious: "Are you old and confused? Have you forgotten that the position of the general flag is higher than that of the small flag?"

The jailer sighed, "Even a captain would give in in front of her, let alone the general."

The generals: "..."

Yu Jie was already in pain, and now he was even more in pain: "Do you want to see a general die here?"

"Don't worry, if Miss Mu doesn't let you die, then the King of Hell won't come to take you away." The prison boss pointed to the prison and said, "She beat the martial artists in the prison half to death, but no one died."

Everyone: “…”

“Oh my god, ahhhhh——”

Yu Jie decided to get up and find a doctor himself, but every time he moved it seemed like his internal organs were pulled. He rolled his eyes and passed out.

This time, no one really moved.

Fan Zhi was silent for a moment and asked, "What rank of warrior do you think Mu Nanjin is?"

Someone said, "I think she is at least a ninth-rank warrior. No wonder she was promoted to a minor flag so quickly. With her warrior rank, it wouldn't be a problem for her to be promoted to a thousand households or a pacification envoy right away."

"So is it true that she saved the emperor?"

"It's really scary that she's a ninth-rank warrior at such a young age. Zhong Yu, how are you going to challenge her?"

Zhong Yu curled his lips: "The worst that can happen is that I lose."

"You should know what the consequences will be if you lose."

Zhong Yu: “…”

On the other side, Xu Cheng was also asking about the military officer competition: "What is the military officer competition? Do military officers have to compete with each other?"

Mu Nanjin didn't know about this and shook his head.

"I know, I know." Liu Qian said excitedly, "I heard about this from my father. Not everyone will participate in the military officer competition. Only those who want to be promoted can participate. The top three can be promoted to the first-grade official rank, and the fourth to tenth can be promoted to a half-grade official rank. There is no reward for others. In addition, a first-grade warrior can only compete with a first-grade warrior, and a second-grade warrior can only compete with a second-grade warrior. If you want to challenge a higher-level warrior or want to challenge others, you must be in the top ten to be eligible to challenge others. For example, if Zhong Yu wants to challenge Miss Mu, he must be in the top ten in the fourth-grade warrior competition."

Xu Cheng sneered: "From Zhong Yu's tone just now, I'm sure he can make it into the top ten."

Yang Bo murmured, "I think what he meant was that even if he couldn't make it into the top ten, other general flags would challenge the girl if they made it into the top ten."

Liu Qian snorted, "Now that he knows the girl's strength, he has to consider his own abilities. If the person who initiates the challenge loses the competition, not only will he be disqualified from upgrading his rank, but he will also not be able to be promoted again within three years. Also, if the person being challenged has a lower rank than him, that person will replace him. Zhong Yu dared to challenge her just now because he was sure that the girl couldn't beat him."

Yang Bo asked: "If the challenged person loses, will there be any punishment?"

Liu Qian shook his head: "Besides not being able to refuse the challenge and getting beaten up on stage, there is no punishment."

Xu Cheng said angrily, "He just wanted to beat the girl up openly. He is not a real man. Haha, but he didn't expect that the girl is stronger than him. Let's see how he ends up."

"I guess he might not dare to challenge the girl again."

Xu Chengqie said: "If he doesn't dare to challenge the girl, then the girl must challenge him."

Liu Qian smiled and nodded: "That's right."

Yang Bo saw Mu Nanjin's serious face and said, "Girl, why don't you speak? Are you thinking about something important?"

Mu Nanjin frowned and said, "I'm thinking, with my strength, which level of martial artist competition should I participate in? By the way, Liu Qian, will there be competitions for martial kings and martial masters in the martial arts competition? Or competitions of higher levels?"

"A higher level competition...!!!!"

Xu Cheng and the other two stared at her with wide eyes: "Girl, you are not a martial saint or a martial god, right?"

Mu Nanjin shook his head: "I don't know."

Liu Qian was puzzled: "Girl, don't you know what rank of warrior you are?"

Mu Nanjin shook his head again: "I really don't know."

She is a cultivator, not a warrior, so how could she know what level she is.

But if one were to ask what realm of immortal cultivator she was at, she could say with certainty that she was at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

She was almost able to ascend to heaven, almost able to become a deity. Of course, it was also possible that she almost disappeared from this world. In short, she was just one step away from becoming a deity.

It just so happened that I encountered such an unfortunate thing. Never mind, I'll just treat it as a trip to relax.

Liu Qian: “…”

This is too strange, there are people who don’t know their own realm.

If you really don't know, how do you know that you can participate in competitions at a higher level, such as Martial King or Martial Lord?

But then again, isn’t Mu Nanjin only fifteen years old?

How could her level possibly reach a level higher than that of the Martial King?

That's too outrageous.

Yang Bo thought for a moment and asked, "You probably don't know your strength, right? If you don't know, you can just choose a level to compete."

Mu Nanjin nodded, then he shouted "go!" and sped back to the Mu Mansion, then saw Heitan finally coming back.
