Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

In the previous life, the person who uncovered the Lin family's case was Ding Mujie, so he knew best about Xue Zhao. But now he had no authority to speak, and no one would believe him even if he spoke out? The easiest way was to get rid of Xue Zhao and replace him as the chief commander. But who was more qualified than him?

A country couldn't live without a king, and an army couldn't live without a commander. That was precisely what was happening now. Without the command of a commander in chief, the Lin clan's army, which was full of courage, had been dejected. If they still can't pull themselves together, tomorrow's battle would be defeated with no doubt! Thinking of this, Ding Mujie began to think quickly, trying to find an effective way. However, when he saw Lin Dan took a few steps forward, he said calmly, "General Xue, since you have a foothold in the army with on your capability, if I attempt to replace you, isn't that I have to rely on my capability?"

"What are you saying? You want to replace our general? Hahaha..." Before Xue Zhao could say anything, his confidant burst into laughter.

However, Lin Dan was not annoyed at all. She continued, "You just said that if we can find a person in the military who is more powerful than you, you will abdicate at once, right?"

Xue Zhao was born in a poor family and had no authority nor influence. It was true indeed that he relied on his capability to become the general of the central army. Therefore, he said firmly, "Yes, I have always been a man of my word. As long as there is such a person, I will immediately give up the position as the chief commander."

King Zhuang squinted at him and sneered, "It seems that the chief commander is already yours! If it weren't for the help of the senior commander Lin, how could a poor boy from a poor family like you be qualified to be promoted to general? You're responsible for the death of the chief commander and those good men of the Lin clan, and you didn't take the blame for all that. Instead, you coveted the chief commander position. You are a wicked and ungrateful beast. I don't want to be with you! "

"You..." Xue Zhao thumped the table with a ferocious face as if he would eat someone in the next moment. He hated those who mentioned his past. If King Zhuang were not a prince, he would have shot him with a few arrows on the battlefield and assassinated him!

When the two were in a tit-for-tat, the generals in the camp were automatically split into two parties. One stood behind Xue Zhao, and the other stood behind King Zhuang, making it clear. Left Lin Qing stood in the center and didn't know where to go.

Lin Dan lifted up the tent flap and raised her tone. "Shut up! Whether General Xue deserves to be the chief commander or not, we will only know after he competes with me."

"What? Compete with you?" Everyone was shocked.

Lin Dan sneered and said, "Are you afraid?"

"You are just a woman. What are you doing here?" Xue Zhao sounded helpless, but there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"I was brought up by my father. I'm considered as one of his new disciples. Is it an insult to you for me to challenge you in the name of the same sect? Or are you afraid of women? If you are afraid of women, what's more, to lead the troops?" Lin Dan continued to goad him. Through her observation and inquiry, she basically knew what kind of person Xue Zhao was. He was ambitious and stubborn. He most valued his stature and reputation, which was easy to provoke him.

As expected, Xue Zhao couldn't tolerate it anymore. He thumped the table and snarled, "Fine, I'll challenge you. But don't cry if you lose!"

"Sis, what are you doing? Come with me!" Lin Qing was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He knew that her sister had been practicing martial arts since she was a child and was very talented. But when she was eight years old, her grandfather didn't allow her to practice martial arts with boys of the Lin family anymore. It was said that everyone was topless, which would be a bad influence on her. After that, she began to practice martial arts in her own small courtyard, and to what extent, Lin Qing, who seldom set foot in the courtyard, didn't know. He only heard his grandfather often praised her for being outstanding and also said that it was a pity that she was not a man, or else she would be a valiant general of the Lin family.
