Ren Ruyi, of course, would not let her leave so easily. Instead, she leaped off her horse and chased after her. The two women then engaged in a fierce battle on the shallow beach.
After a few moves, Jialing risked shifting her position, allowing Ren Ruyi to cut a gash in her skirt, before seizing the opportunity to retreat a few steps.
"How did you discover the flaw?" Jialing, who was temporarily safe, frowned and asked Ren Ruyi, who was a few steps away.
At this point, she realized she had been exposed, and that this was the very ambush site she had meticulously planned! Seeing that Ren Ruyi had already fallen into the trap, there was no point in continuing the deception!
"First! The road I just took you along was lined with oleander blossoms!"
“Oleander flowers are what pregnant women fear most, yet you didn’t even try to avoid them!”
This only proves one thing: you are not pregnant at all!
Ren Ruyi looked at Jialing in front of her and slowly walked over step by step, saying as she did so.
"Secondly! You described it so tragically, but you forgot one thing..."
"If you were only forced to target the Wudu branch, you wouldn't have needed to chase me all the way! And I wouldn't have needed to fake my death to escape the pursuit!"
As Jialing watched Ren Ruyi approach him step by step, he subconsciously stepped back, maintaining a distance between them.
However, she had no way to refute what Ren Ruyi said, because she realized that her lie had too many loopholes.
"Third! Back then, you led the attack on me at the foot of the Inviting Moon Pavilion, and you even said you would leave me a whole corpse!"
"I, Ren Xin, never easily trust my enemies!"
The moment Ren Ruyi finished speaking with a resolute expression, a short sword shot out from the bushes beside her, heading straight for Jialing on the opposite side.

Chapter 190: Pampering Ren Ruyi on the Battlefield! A United Couple!
Of course, this short sword wasn't meant to take Jialing's life; instead, the hilt was shooting forward! So she easily caught it with a slight twist of her wrist and turned to attack Ren Ruyi again!
Ren Ruyi was naturally prepared, and this sneak attack did not harm her in the slightest!
The two then exchanged a few more blows with their weapons, but when Jialing saw that his sneak attack had failed, he immediately leaped high into the air.
Then, a dozen or so darts suddenly shot out from the bushes behind her, heading straight for Ren Ruyi's face!
Sure enough, someone was lying in ambush!
Ren Ruyi frowned, then with a beautiful flourish of her sword, she deflected all of the dozen or so darts with a series of crisp clanging sounds!
But it is only polite to reciprocate! Ren Ruyi flicked her wrist, and more than a dozen of her unique hidden weapons, the Poison Tail Needles, attacked Jialing, who had just landed!
Jialing was not just anyone to sit in the position of Right Envoy of the Zhuyi Guard. With a few easy sword flourishes, he deflected all the poison needles thrown by Ren Ruyi!
At the same time, a Zhu Yiwei assassin suddenly leaped out from the bushes nearby, his sword aimed straight at Ren Ruyi!
However, the difference in martial arts skills between the two was too great. Ren Ruyi merely glanced at the assassin, then swung her sword and cleaved him in two at the waist in mid-air.
The weapons of the two sides did not even clash before the other side was turned into two halves of a corpse!
Seeing this, Jialing was also startled. She realized that Ren Ruyi had clearly held back when she attacked her and had not used her full strength.
Panicked, she waved her left hand, and immediately more than thirty assassins flew out of the surrounding bushes, surrounding Ren Ruyi.
Seeing this, Jialing felt a little more at ease, after all, the people she brought this time were all elites carefully selected from the Zhuyiwei.
Even though Ren Ruyi's martial arts skills were much higher than he had expected, he was still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
With so many people rushing in, even if Ren Ruyi had great abilities, she would have a hard time escaping!
Jialing's plan was quite clever. As long as she sent her men to attack first, even if Ren Ruyi killed them all, she herself would be exhausted!
I'll take action myself then, and that way there will be no chance of failure!
As for the lives of his subordinates... Jialing didn't care at all!
Ren Ruyi wiped her face, which was stained with a drop of blood sprayed from the assassin who had just been cut in half at the waist. She then lowered her head and sneered before looking at Jialing and saying, "Although you pretended to choose another path just now, this is the only way to the South Temple, and it is also the best place to set up an ambush!"
"You're still as stupid as ever!"
"Setting a trap, but without any originality whatsoever!"
Ren Ruyi was naturally not afraid of these so-called assassins. After all, she hadn't even used her real trump card yet, so she directly started to mock them.
However, Jialing didn't know the reason why Ren Ruyi was so confident. He thought she was just pretending to be calm, so he immediately smiled sinisterly and said, "But there's one thing that's different about me!"
"I am now the Right Envoy! And you are all alone!"
At this point, Jialing became even more smug, his sinister smile impossible to conceal: "Even if you are the best assassin in the history of the Crimson Guard! Able to take on ten men at once, I can still wear you down today!"
"Listen up, everyone! A bounty of twenty will be given for injuring her! A bounty of one hundred will be given for killing her!"
As soon as Jialing finished speaking, all the Zhuyiwei assassins present immediately revealed greedy expressions!
Now, under the control of this ambitious Right Envoy, the Crimson Guard is no different from the Six Paths Hall before it, and has become the domain of these greedy and treacherous people!
Those who originally had real ideals were either sent out to their deaths or deliberately marginalized!
Seeing the change in her subordinates' expressions, Jialing became even more smug, because it meant that her generous reward had worked!
Most importantly, these Zhu Yiwei assassins in front of him are not all of Jialing's methods!
Hidden in the dense bushes behind him was another group of more than a dozen Zhu Yiwei assassins, waiting for his summons!
These were her backup plans; she would wait until Ren Ruyi was exhausted and had no time to spare before suddenly launching a fatal attack!
From Jialing's perspective at this moment, her plan was not only well-designed but also flawless! The nightmare that had plagued Ren Ruyi for so long could finally be completely resolved today!
From then on, she, as the Right Envoy, could truly rest easy and pursue her ambitions to the fullest!
However, just as she was going crazy and excited, she was surprised to find that Ren Ruyi, who was standing in the encirclement, was not flustered at all! Her eyes were slightly lowered, and a very disdainful smile appeared on her lips.
She even let out a slight, cold snort from her nose!
Although the volume was very low, to Jialing it sounded like a heavy slap to her face!
"What are you laughing at?!" Jialing frowned and glared at Ren Ruyi as he asked.
She didn't expect that the other party would not only not panic because they were trapped in her trap, but would also look down on her with a face full of disdain, clearly despising her and even completely looking down on the inescapable trap she had set!
This was unacceptable to Jialing, who had always been confident in his tricks and traps!
"She laughed at your overestimation of yourself!" However, Ren Ruyi did not answer Jialing's question. Instead, a deep and powerful voice came from the bushes behind her, where several Zhu Yiwei assassins had been hiding.
Although the sound was light, it was supported by powerful internal energy!
The vibrations were so intense that Jialing's eardrums started buzzing!
Some of the less skilled Zhu Yiwei assassins couldn't help but cover their ears with their hands, their faces showing expressions of pain.
Jialing subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a powerful shockwave suddenly erupt from the previously calm bushes!
Then, the dozen or so Zhu Yiwei assassins she had arranged to ambush were blown into the air by the huge shockwave, and then they all lost their balance and crashed heavily to the ground!
Seeing his men with broken swords and coughing up blood, Jialing finally realized that this inexplicable shockwave was not just a simple gust of wind!
It was clearly an aura generated by a powerful surge of internal energy! That's why his men were directly shaken, suffering internal organ damage and bleeding from their mouths and noses! They were all rendered incapable of fighting!
Can humans possess such powerful internal energy? Could they possibly kill so many people simply by releasing their internal energy?
Moreover, it should be known that these Zhu Yiwei assassins, whom Jialing left as a backup plan, were the elite of the elite!
Of course, Jialing understood what was happening, and so did her Zhuyi Guards! They all looked towards the bushes, their faces showing expressions of fear.
Immediately afterwards, a young man dressed in black robes and wearing a jade fox mask lightly leaped out of the bushes and landed slowly in the center of the encirclement.
He gracefully waved his folding fan and slowly walked towards Ren Ruyi.
Upon seeing the other person, Ren Ruyi immediately revealed a smile that even Jialing found unbelievable.
Because he clearly saw admiration and adoration in Ren Ruyi's eyes! But how could these two emotions possibly appear in Ren Ruyi?!
The most dangerous thing was that even though she was surrounded by her own men, Ren Ruyi was watching the newcomer walk slowly towards her with obvious delight, seemingly forgetting the perilous environment around her...
The person who arrived was none other than Wei Tingyu!
He slowly walked up to Ren Ruyi, then reached out and gently wiped away the drop of blood on her cheek.
Ren Ruyi cooperated perfectly, letting the other person's fingers rub her cheeks, and even a shy expression appeared on her face.
"How naughty! Are you hurt?" Wei Tingyu didn't care whether the surrounding Zhuyiwei assassins and Jialing dog food were full or not. He just looked at Ren Ruyi after wiping the bloodstains and spoke softly.
On the surface, it sounds like a scolding, but the tone is full of doting affection!
Ren Ruyi didn't reply, only gently shaking her head. However, the smile on her face was no different from that of a girl head over heels in love!
Jialing knew at this moment that the newcomer was not someone to be trifled with. The other party had used only his internal force to shake out all of his dozen or so elite subordinates who had been lying in ambush from the bushes, and had them fall to the ground, injured and unable to fight.
However, she was already in a bind and had no way out, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Who are you?"
"Marquis of Jining, Wei Tingyu!" Wei Tingyu had no need to hide anything from the other party at this time. The reason he wore the jade fox mask was simply because he was used to wearing it at night.
Now that things were out in the open, he simply took off his mask.
When Jialing and the other Zhuyiwei assassins saw Wei Tingyu's face, they were all stunned, because the face under the mask was really too young!
So much so that they simply couldn't reconcile the image of the young man before them with the image of the expert who had just injured more than a dozen top-tier Zhu Yiwei assassins with just the release of his internal energy.
The one who reacted the fastest among Zhu Yiwei was a man who seemed to be Jialing's deputy! His eyes sharpened, and he suddenly threw a flying blade, trying to take advantage of Wei Tingyu's speech to launch a sneak attack.
However, just as this guy raised his arm and before the hidden weapon was released, Wei Tingyu, like a ghost, left an afterimage in the spot before his real body was already in front of him!
