Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1076: Chapter 986: Hidden Guard 9

Just when the girl in the water felt hopeless, she suddenly found herself being lifted out of the water, and as her body left the surface, a black cloak embroidered with golden edges was wrapped around her.

Immediately after, the girl felt as if she was riding on clouds, the scenery around her flashing by like fleeting images, and her feet landed on a slightly swaying small boat.

After she steadied herself, the girl, who was initially a bit nervous, realized that her savior was also a girl, one who appeared full of heroism.

The rescued girl instantly felt relieved, thankful that it wasn’t a man, preserving her honor. When she was feeling desperate in the water earlier, she had even thought that if a man approached her, she would rather drown herself than face a life of scorn with her honor destroyed.

At this moment, the girl was extremely grateful and bowed deeply to Shuangshuang, ”Thank you, Sister, for saving my life today. Mingzhu will remember it in my heart and dare not forget it in this lifetime.”

Shuangshuang didn’t save her to have her gratitude, so she casually replied, ”It’s nothing, just a small effort. I think you better not go back to that ship. Where is your home? I can take you back.”

The girl pressed her lips together, tugging at the cloak Shuangshuang had put on her earlier, ”Then thank you, Sister. My father is the Magistrate, just send me to the Prefect Mansion. My name is Yu Mingzhu, and I don’t know your name, Sister. Your martial arts are amazing. I felt like I was flying just now. Are you a female knight?”

”I’m Wei Shuangshuang. I’m not a female knight; I run an escort agency.”

Yu Mingzhu’s eyes lit up when she heard Wei Shuangshuang say she ran an escort agency, and she showed a moment of sudden realization on her face.

”Sister Shuangshuang is the one who set up the martial contests at the escort agency, defeating all opponents for a month with no one able to compete with you, the very powerful Unrivaled Female Hero, right?”

Unrivaled Female Hero? Wei Shuangshuang was puzzled. How did she not know when she became the Unrivaled Female Hero?

Seeing Wei Shuangshuang’s baffled expression, Yu Minglan enthusiastically came over to explain, ”Sister Shuangshuang, this title of Unrivaled Female Hero was given to you by us girls. You single-handedly defeated all the men in Yang City, and with such unmatched martial arts, you’re deserving of the title of Unrivaled Female Hero.

Sister Shuangshuang, you have no idea how renowned you are. We girls all admire you, saying that Sister Shuangshuang, you’re standing up for us.”

In Nandu, martial arts are popular, and both men and women admire those with high martial skills. If it weren’t for the continuous natural disasters in Nandu Country in recent years, it would have been difficult for Daxia to sign a peace treaty on equal terms with Nandu.

Along the way, Yu Minglan chattered nonstop, mostly expressing her admiration for Wei Shuangshuang, and partly talking about some family matters.

Yu Mingzhu is the legitimate daughter of the Magistrate. Today, she went out to play with her half-sister, Yu Mingyue. Before going out, Yu Mingzhu had no idea that several young masters and young ladies from the Assistant Magistrate’s family would join them.

The Assistant Magistrate and her father have always been at odds. Though the Assistant Magistrate has backing, which makes it difficult for her father, being the Magistrate, to deal with him.

And her half-sister Yu Mingyue has never gotten along with her. If it weren’t for being provoked by Yu Mingyue, Yu Mingzhu wouldn’t have gone out to play with her opposing half-sister.

Yu Mingyue is not smart and has never been able to outwit her, relying only on her mother’s and her father’s favoritism, embarrassing the main wife. Thus, Yu Mingzhu has never regarded Yu Mingyue as worthy of attention, confident that whatever means Yu Mingyue used, she would not be her match.

Who knew Yu Mingzhu would be completely wrong this time? Sometimes, fools are foolish because they don’t understand the consequences of their actions.

Yu Mingyue was like this; she used a simple, reckless, and vicious idea, unexpectedly pushing Yu Mingzhu into the water from the Tower Ship.

She even colluded with several young masters from the Vice Governor Mansion to deliberately stand by the boat and watch, forcing Yu Mingzhu not to climb aboard and having two men approach her, intending to ruin her reputation.

Yu Mingyue never thought that after doing this, she wouldn’t be able to hide it. No matter how her father favors concubines over the main wife, she and her mother are bound to be dealt with.

Yu Mingzhu never imagined that Yu Mingyue would do such a foolhardy thing, resulting in this oversight. Feeling aggrieved, Yu Mingzhu vowed that having escaped this time, she would not let Yu Mingyue go, the foolish and vicious person.

Yu Mingzhu chatted non-stop with Wei Shuangshuang along the way, partly due to her admiration for her and partly due to her nervousness and relief.

The outing was ruined due to Yu Mingzhu’s incident, and after Wei Shuangshuang took her home, she returned to the escort agency.

Wei Shuangshuang didn’t take Yu Mingzhu’s matter to heart; she merely helped out and didn’t dwell on it afterward.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the butler from the Prefect Mansion arrived at the escort agency with several large carriages full of gifts to thank Wei Shuangshuang for saving the life of their young lady.

Wei Shuangshuang didn’t refuse and accepted the gifts. After the Magistrate sent his thanks, Yu Mingzhu did not return, only sending a letter explaining how she was busy dealing with Yu Mingyue and her father’s favored concubine and didn’t have time to visit Wei Shuangshuang, but promised to find time to play with her.

The letter was filled with the warmth of a girl writing to her best friend, clearly having included her life-saving benefactor Wei Shuangshuang in her circle of friends.

Wei Shuangshuang didn’t have such a youthful mentality, only regarded Yu Mingzhu as a child and put down the letter after reading it. Later, she went out with others to escort a shipment, and the journey wasn’t far, only taking about ten days for a round trip.

Upon her return from the escort, Wei Shuangshuang was surprised to find Yu Mingzhu waiting at the escort agency with two little maidservants. Seeing Wei Shuangshuang, she warmly approached, ”Sister Shuangshuang, you finally came back. I’ve been here several times.”

Wei Shuangshuang had just returned from outside, covered in dust, and Yu Mingzhu didn’t mind the dust on her, hugging her arm directly.

Without waiting for Wei Shuangshuang’s response, she continued chattering, ”Sister Shuangshuang, I’ve already taken care of that vicious and stupid sister of mine. Even her mother’s favored concubine was completely abandoned by my father. Having such a vicious daughter, how could the mother be any good? Especially since she foolishly and secretly conspired with my father’s arch-enemy, she was asking for her own demise.”

Yu Mingzhu didn’t hold back, revealing everything in front of Wei Shuangshuang, clearly showing her great trust in her.
