Bing Lian in her hand began to shake. A bright cold light and chilly breeze followed its every shake. The long whip bounced. The woman and Gu Yun both took a step backward simultaneously.
The surrounding became quiet. Only the snakeβs hissing occasionally broke the silence. Both women were staring at each other, not fighting anymore.
βBoss.β
From behind Gu Yunβs back, noisy footsteps indicated that Leng Xiao had brought a group of people.
The woman didnβt even bother to look towards the upcoming (hundreds of) soldiers. It seemed like their existence were completely irrelevant. Moving her attention away from Gu Yun, the woman took her long whip and retreated.
Leng Xiao and the others were ready to chase after her. Gu Yun said, βDonβt go after her.β Her instinct told her that Leng Xiao wouldnβt be able to chase her.
What kind of a person was that woman? Was she a partner of the rebels? Or were there other people living in the forest besides the rebels?

The main tent.
The night curtain was just dropped. Tens of torches were placed around a big table, making the table very well-lit.
In front of the table, Yu Shi Jun took out some small drawings and laid them out accordingly on the table. He carefully looked at every detail on them. Su Renβs hand was holding a brush, marking all the intersections. Both peopleβs full attention was on the papers. They were so focused that they didnβt notice two people entering the tent.
Su Lingβs black eyes were secretly looking around and slowly walked to Yu Shi Junβs back. Perhaps his footsteps were too loud, it surprised Yu Shi Jun. Yu Shi Jun looked back to find Su Ling and Han Shu standing behind him. He exclaimed, βGeneral! Vanguard!β
Su Ren tilted his head to look and saw Su Ling and Han Shu whose bodies were covered with bandages. He put down his brush and pointed at the chairs, urgently saying, βQuickly sit. Why did you come here?β
Su Ling didnβt even bother to look at the chair and icily replied, βI am not that weak!β
Moving to the tableβs front, Su Ling studied the completed water map on the table. His eyes looked surprised, but his mouth didnβt say anything. However, Han Shu curiously asked, βWhat is this?β
Putting back all ten small drawings, Yu Shi Jun smiled, βMadam asked the soldiers to follow water sources and to draw the water system. Having this, we will be able to guess the denβs most likely location.β As expected, Madam had found a way. In less than ten days, Yu Shi Jun was already convinced of the petite madamβs resourcefulness and martial arts.
It was unknown whether it was the admiration in Yu Shi Junβs eyes or Gu Yun who hadnβt returned that made the great general worried. In summary, Su Ren keenly observed that older brother of his. He found that Su Lingβs face was pale and sunken. Smilingly he said, βShe said she will return tonight. It is Shi hour now, she should be coming soon.β

who is that woman? Is she a spirit? Will she be Gu Yun rival in love?

I could only answer your second question. She is not a spirit as this novel although the ‘time travelling’ part isn’t rational, the rest of the parts are rational.
