Rebirth of a Star General (Legend of the Female General)

Chapter 100: A Female Identity

This was an unfamiliar face that Ding Yi had never seen before, and there were no traces of disguise.

Before coming to the Sun Mansion, Yuan Baozhen had also mentioned that the young man who came with Xiao Jue was his nephew, the young master of the Right Division’s residence, known as the “useless young master” in Shuo Jing. However, he only mentioned it casually and didn’t go into detail. After all, at that time, neither of them expected that this seemingly harmless young master would disrupt the entire situation.

He can’t be the real Cheng Lisu. A young master from a wealthy family in Shuo Jing wouldn’t have such a fierce look in his eyes.

Who is he? One of Xiao Jue’s men? But why would Xiao Jue’s men look at him with such intense hostility, as if they had a deep-seated grudge?

Looking at the young man in front of him, Ding Yi asked, “Are you trying to play tricks here?”

He Yan chuckled, “Are you scared?”

Ding Yi’s smile faded slightly, “You have a sharp tongue that’s not very likable.” With that, he pulled a concealed dagger from his sleeve, and it suddenly extended several inches, stabbing towards He Yan.

He Yan spun and flew up into the air.

The two figures wrestled together, and their silhouettes on the window looked particularly eerie. If any of the servants of the Sun’s Mansion passed by at this moment, it would probably confirm the rumours of haunting.

He Yan was slightly surprised.

When she had been blinded by He Rufei’s plot, the poisoned medicine she had consumed had been delivered by this person. It was this soup that had caused her blindness. She had always thought that Ding Yi was just a servant working for He Rufei, and later, when she saw Yuan Baozhen, she realized that this person had good martial arts skills. However, she had only realized how formidable Ding Yi was when they fought. His martial skills were even better than she had thought.

His skills far surpassed that of the assassin Yingyue from that day. Not only did he possess remarkable skills, but he was also extremely cautious and conservative, only striking when he had a near-perfect opportunity. Thus, even during the assassination attempt at the banquet, he acted as the final piece of the puzzle and wouldn’t have taken action unless it was absolutely necessary. Similarly, with the scented ball, he had to wait until Xiao Jue was weakened and incapacitated to ensure a lethal strike.

Today, Ding Yi had set a trap for He Yan, waiting for her to fall into it. However, he still believed that no matter how remarkable He Yan was, a sixteen-year-old young man would not be extraordinarily formidable.

This person was both self-confident and careful. His self-confidence stemmed from his skills and abilities, while his carefulness laid in ensuring that he pursued foolproof plans.

He was not to be underestimated.

Ding Yi was also deeply impressed.

He had never encountered an opponent like this before.

He had heard that Xiao Jue, the Commander of the Right Army, was exceptional both in civil and military matters, rarely facing any rivals. He had wanted to challenge Xiao Jue himself, but He Rufei had repeatedly reminded him not to confront Xiao Jue directly. Therefore, he had no choice but to act in secret, waiting for the right moment to strike. A person like him could never openly challenge others, like a mouse hiding in a ditch, only able to lurk in the shadows. Despite his martial skills, he was like a caged tiger with nowhere to unleash his power.

Ding Yi felt a sense of regret deep within him.

This young man’s background was mysterious, and he was eager to test his abilities. He wanted to defeat him in an open and fair fight and then use him to plot against Xiao Jue. Only then could he truly showcase his abilities. However, after this brief encounter, he realized that he had underestimated him.
