Chapter 26 - 31 - 40

Chapter 31: Snowy Mountain Sword Art vs Shadowless Fist

"I say Master Ding, you have been suffering here for so many years, even if you are not tired, the lord has gotten quite tired of all this." Song Qingshu looked at Ding Dian in the hall and deliberately said, "Just say it and get it all over with."

"Bah!" Ding Dian gave Song Qingshu a vicious look.

The look in Ding Dian's eyes made Song Qingshu's heart tremble. He gave him a thumbs up in his head and thought, 'Great work! This guy could win an Oscar for his acting skills.'

"Beat him." Ling Tuisi sneered a few times. All that torture for so many years was proving to be useless. Now he was losing his patience. He ordered the execution of the punishment out of habit.

"Puff puff puff!" The stick fiercely fell on Ding Dian's body without stopping, and the sound of flesh getting hit filled the room. Ding Dian did not say a word, he just silently endured it. He also didn't dare to resist it with his strength, for fear of being found out by Ling Tuisi. This kind of normal skin trauma was nothing to him. If he circulated some true Qi for a few moments after going back to the cell, the injury would heal naturally.

"Father, please don't force Big Brother Ding!" At this time, a female voice came from behind. It made Ding Dian tremble all over, and he swiftly turned his head in excitement. It was indeed Ling Shuanghua that he had been thinking about day and night.

In the hall, Ling Tuisi was shocked and angry. He raised his finger to point at Ling Shuanghua and said, "Why are you here? Have you forgotten the vow you made at that time!"

"This daughter has never forgotten." Ling Shuanghua walked over to help Ding Dian and turned around. "Fortunately, this daughter has been enlightened by an expert and realized that my mother has done good all her life, and now I am certain that she has reached the Western Paradise (Sukhavati), so she will naturally not suffer in the afterlife."

Ling Tuisi's expression changed drastically, and he stared fiercely at Song Qingshu. At this moment, there was a loud bang, the door was knocked apart, and a soldier vomited blood and was thrown in.

"There are assassins!" The stern voice coming from outside made the hearts of everyone in the room jump.

There were sounds of fighting and blades, Ling Tuisi's guards couldn't resist for long, and were steadily getting forced back. Soon a few men dressed as swordsmen rushed in, when they noticed Ling Tuisi on the main seat, their eyes brightened. And one of them rushed over.

The guards on the left and right of Ling Tuisi pulled out their weapons and faced their assault, which initiated a bitter fight. Song Qingshu noticed that the swordsmanship of these people were complicated and varied, and Ling Tuisi's guards fell one by one.

"Father!" Ling Shuanghua anxiously cried out when she saw one of the swordsmen leaping high, and stabbing at Ling Tuisi with a sword.

Ding Dian really loved Ling Shuanghua to the extreme. And, he couldn't bear her slight grievance. When he saw this, he was shocked. The iron chain on his body broke to pieces. He kicked the ground with his feet, and arrived in front of Ling Tuisi in a hair's breadth.

The swordsman was taken aback and hurried back to save himself. Regardless of his complicated swordsmanship, Ding Dian aimed straight to the man's body, changed his fists to claws, and grabbed the opponent's chest at once. The opponent was caught by him and immediately went limp all over.

Song Qingshu hid behind a pillar and stretched out his head to look, only to see that the person had no breath, he was dead! He took a breath of cold air, and quickly retracted his head, while muttering in his heart, "One dead daoist is better than two live daoist. You can fight all you want. The more chaotic the fight will be, the better. Don't mind me. Brothers, I haven't even got to try what martial arts feels like, so I don't want to die before my wish is fulfilled."

"Divine Brilliance Scripture and Shadowless Fist? You are Ding Dian!" Several swordsmen in the hall had already cleaned up the remaining guards. When they turned around to see that scene, their leader exclaimed.

It turned out that the Snowy Mountain Sect had specifically investigated all the masters in Jingxiang before coming for this mission, so naturally they also knew about Ding Dian, a powerful martial artist.

The arrow had been shot, and this matter had to end. Now the Snowy Mountain Sect could only hope for a quick fight, otherwise, if the guards outside the mansion reacted, they were afraid that their whole forces would be wiped out. Their leader also understood this quite clearly, "Junior Brother Feng, Uncle Master and the others are almost unable to hold on outside the door. So I will hold him back first, you go and kill Ling Tuisi, then we will retreat." After speaking, we swung his sword and attacked Ding Dian.

"Huh?" Ding Dian jumped into the air when he saw the sword strike. He immediately noticed that there was a faint chill coming from the blade of that sword, and he realized that this man's martial arts was much higher than the one just now. He spotted several other Snowy Mountain Sect members from the corner of his eyes. Their aim was the concealed Ling Tuisi. Ding Dian became anxious in his heart, and kicked a chair over, temporarily obstructing the way of those few people, and took the opportunity to jump over and stop them.

Ding Dian stopped all four Snow Mountain Sect swordsmen by himself, found a few flaws in their martial art, and sent two of them to their afterlife. As a result, the Snowy Mountain Sect had only two strong martial artists struggling to support them.

Ding Dian knew that the martial arts of these two men were much higher than that of the other Snowy Mountain Sect disciples, and he realized that he couldn't beat them in a short time. He thought in his heart, and opened his mouth to ask, "Are the two of you called Bai Wanjian and Feng Wanli?"

Bai Wanjian and Feng Wanli became more and more frightened as the battle progressed. This Ding Dian's martial arts was probably better than their father's (master). Hearing the constant shouts from a distance, they knew that the mission was impossible to succeed. They glanced at each other, hurriedly attacked with a few sword strikes to force Ding Dian away, and both leaped outside the mansion, "Ding Dian, today's hatred, the Snowy Mountain Sect will remember it."

Ding Dian also had no intention of pursuing, and silently returned to Ling Shuanghua. Seeing the painful groaning of the men in the room, Ling Tuisi looked at the two men in the hall with a sullen expression on his face.

Before he could even open his mouth, suddenly all the roof tiles above his head shattered. A black shadow fell from the air, and immediately arrived in front of Ling Tuisi. His left hand grabbed Ling Tuisi's throat like a tong, and the right hand pressed on his chest. Even if there was a slight movement from the strong palm, it could kill Ling Tuisi.

Song Qingshu, who was hiding behind the pillar, secretly cried out. Wu Liuqi's arrival at this time might ruin his plan.

Wu Liuqi yelled out loud, "Ding Dian, you have learned my senior brother's martial skills, then why did you help and protect this enemy who killed my senior brother. Is it because you were fascinated by his daughter's beauty?"

Song Qingshu's expression on the side suddenly became a little strange. What beauty does Ling Shuanghua have now? Wu Liuqi had only looked at her graceful figure, and he assumed that she was a great beauty.

"Who are you?" Ding Dian was also taken aback. He and Mei Niansheng spent a very short time together. He didn't know that he still had a little Uncle Master.

"Mei Niansheng is my senior, who do you think I am?" Wu Liuqi said angrily when he realized that Ding Dian didn't even know him.

"Wu Liuqi, the beggar in the snow, it's normal for Master Ding to not know you." With a nice female voice, Huang Rong slowly walked in. It turned out that Huang Rong and her party quickly realized that something was wrong with the sound of fighting coming from the prefect's mansion. When they swiftly ran over, they happened to encounter Wu Liuqi grabbing Ling Tuisi.

"Leader Huang…" Wu Liuqi's expression turned a little ugly when he saw Huang Rong's figure.

"Elder Wu, it was excusable for you to leave the Beggar Gang that day, but why are you now helping the Mongol to assassinate our Song court official?" Huang Rong asked indifferently.

It turned out that when Huang Rong followed her husband in Xiangyang for many years, she treated the Beggars' Sect only as a tool. She neglected its management, and during the years of the Song-Mongolian war, the Beggars' Sect was made to help and suffered heavy casualties. This caused dissatisfaction with some members. They felt that Huang Rong was selfish and dragged them into the struggle between countries. Many people were also really worried about the future. In addition, Huang Rong was a female leader, so there were more and more complaints among the members.

Chapter 32: The situation of the Beggars Sect

The Beggars' Sect was known as one of the largest sects in the world. But, although they had a large number of members, the organization was very loose in its structure. Huang Rong soon realized that there were many people with varied intentions, and it was only a matter of time before the Beggars' Sect split up. In order to avoid the devastation caused by the great turmoil, Huang Rong took the initiative to propose a method of divide and conquer.

She led a part of the force to guard Xiangyang. Many of the Beggars were from the Yanzhao area. They had always been homesick. Some of them wanted to participate in the national struggle and another just wanted to be in the Wulin. Huang Rong simply appointed Wang Jiantong, the leader of one group, as the leader of the first faction. On the other hand, she appointed Shi Huolong as the leader of another faction and let them wander the Wulin as they pleased.

Everyone was greatly satisfied with this action. Wang Jiantong and Shi Huolong got the name of the sect leader. Since they got what they wanted, they wouldn't have any dissatisfaction and naturally won't cause trouble.

For Huang Rong, the situation where the sect would split was a foregone conclusion, so she made a decisive decision. Rather than let the two of them rise up, and let both sides tear their faces, it was better to personally give them the name of the sect leader. In this way, the positions of the two sect leaders would be given by her. Although the three of them would be sect leaders, and they seemed to be equal, but In the hearts of everyone in the Beggar's Sect, her status had suddenly become lofty, and her prestige had risen instead of decreasing.

Moreover, after this division, her strength did not decrease that much, instead she eliminated some of her confidential problems over the years, and was able to help her husband guard Xiangyang more steadily.

In addition, the two branches that were divided worked hard for years to come. Specifically, the Hebei branch had produced the hero, Qiao Feng. Under his leadership, the reputation of the Beggar's Sect of the Hebei branch had become one of the best in Wulin. He became the rudder of the Beggar's Sect. But unfortunately, for various reasons, Qiao Feng left the Beggar's Sect and became the king of the southern courtyard of the Khitan. Due to his departure the Hebei line was never as strong as it was before.

With the assistance of the elder Chen Youliang, Shi Huolong, the sect leader of the other branch, recruited many martial artists from the Wulin, and now his reputation in the Jiangnan Wulin even surpassed that of the Xiangyang headquarters.

Wu Liuqi belonged to the Jiangnan branch, but due to a dispute of opinion, he injured another elder and was expelled from the sect. Although Huang Rong was no longer their direct leader, he had seen her in Xiangyang before. Huang Rong had also paid attention to matters in the Beggar's Sect, so she knew that Wu Liuqi was expelled from the sect.

Wu Liuqi was frightened by Huang Rong's prestige, he hesitated immediately, but when he thought of his senior brother, he gritted his teeth and said, "Leader Huang, this subordinate also knows that Ling Tuisi is related to the logistics of Xiangyang, but this person killed my senior brother for a treasure. So, this subordinate must take revenge for him!" After he finished speaking, he prepared to break Ling Tuisi's neck.

Ling Shuanghua exclaimed, and at this time an urgent voice came from behind the pillar, "Mei Niansheng was killed by the traitor Wan Zhenshan!"

Wu Liuqi looked back and saw Song Qingshu helplessly walk out.

There was no other option for him but to come out. If Ling Tuisi was killed by Wu Liuqi, no one knew what Ling Shuanghua would do, and his chance of acquiring the Divine Brilliance Scripture could be ruined. Even if Ling Shuanghua was discouraged and followed Ding Dian to go far away. In Dian Dian's opinion, he didn't play any role in it at all, so why should he give him the Divine Brilliance Scripture?

Song Qingshu sorted out his thoughts and spread out his hands, "Hero, be merciful and see clearly. I don't have any martial arts, and my weak arms and legs can't stand even a weak slap from anyone present here. Please don't try to attack on a whim. That's great."Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Huang Rong smiled sweetly, but Wu Liuqi was a little impatient to hear his bullshit, "If you have something to say, then quickly speak!"

Song Qingshu was not worried, and quickly said, "Mei Niansheng was killed by his three apprentices Wan Zhenshan, Yan Daping, and Qi Changfa. You must be wondering how the insignificant martial arts of the three of them hurt your senior? I will tell you, it was Qi Changfa who pretended to be loyal to the master, he went behind Mei Niansheng and stabbed him with a sword. Mei Niansheng was seriously injured, and the three of them succeeded in their vile plot."

Wu Liuqi was a little dizzy after hearing all the info dump, but he finally understood, and looked at Ding Dian suspiciously, "Is that really the case?"

Ding Dian glanced at Song Qingshu and nodded, "All that he said is true, I saved my master who fell into the water and got the true details from the master himself."

"If you don't believe him, you can take a look at the appearance of this lady." At this time, Ling Shuanghua also spoke up and unwrapped her veil. The scarlet scars on her face made everyone in the hall take a deep breath, and Ling Shuanghua smiled sadly, "Do you think Big Brother Ding will be fascinated by my 'beauty'?"

Ding Dian felt a pain in his heart and gently held her hands, "Shuanghua, no matter what you become, in my heart you will always be the beautiful girl I met at the Chrysanthemum Festival."

Huang Rong glanced at the two in surprise. She did hear before that Miss Ling refused to marry Master Lu in Xiangyang for another man, and even disfigured herself to show her determination. Today, when she saw them, she realized just how deep their love was.

At that time, Wu Liuqi didn't know that Song Qingshu was present when he attacked Wan Zhenshan. For a while, he did not know how to face Huang Rong, his former sect leader. He let out a loud cry, released Ling Tuisi, and flew out through the window.

Ling Tuisi sat down with a dark face, touched his neck with one hand, and pointed at Ding Dian with the other, "Capture this felon down to me." The soldiers who came drew out their sabers and surrounded Ding Dian.

Huang Rong couldn't figure out the grievances between the two for a while. She guessed whether the reason for Ling Tuisi's deep hatred was that his daughter was ruined by Ding Dian, so he wanted to deal with him. With a conflicted mind, Huang Rong had to stand aside and watch the changes.

Song Qingshu took a long sigh and finally had the chance to act according to his own script. Now was the perfect time for him to appear on the stage.

"Master Ling, I have something to tell you." Song Qingshu bowed respectfully.

Thinking of being saved by him just now, Ling Tuisi's expression calmed down, "Scholar Song, please say."

"Although this Ding Dian is hateful, he saved the lord's life from the hands of the Snowy Mountain Sect just now." Song Qingshu laughed a little strangely. "His attitude just now shows that he and Miss Ling really love each other. I dare to suggest here, why don't you make the right decision and allow them to be together?"

Ding Dian couldn't help but sneer. If Ling Tuisi was that easy to convince, would he and Shuanghua suffer for so many years.

But what made everyone's eyes fall to the ground was that Ling Tuisi hesitated for a moment before actually saying, "Okay!"

Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua looked at each other in disbelief, and Ling Tuisi continued to say, "Ding Dian, this official will betroth Shuanghua to you today, and you must treat her well in the future. The grievances between us are really hard to forget. So, I never want to see you anymore. Go away. The farther you go, the better!"

Song Qingshu noticed that Ding Dian was stunned, and angrily said, "Won't you pay respect to your father-in-law?"

Ding Dian knelt down with great joy, and stubbornly kowtowed a few times,"This son-in-law thanks my father-in-law." At that moment, he only felt that all the torture he had suffered over the years was worth it.

Ling Shuanghua also cried with joy, and then knelt down and reverently kowtowed a few times in order to thank him for his many years of nurturing.

"Hurry up, or I might change my mind at any time. Maybe I will regret it and come to chase you tomorrow." Ling Tuisi touched his forehead and waved his other hand impatiently.

"Big Brother Ding, take Miss Ling away quickly." Song Qingshu came over to help Ding Dian, whispered in his ear, and pinched him on his shoulders.

Ding Dian immediately woke up, this Ling Tuisi had too much contrast in character before and after. So something weird must be happening here. He hurriedly pulled Ling Shuanghua and ran out.

Huang Rong on the side looked suspicious and looked up in the hall. When she noticed Ling Tuisi's muddy eyes and numb expression, her heart jumped, 'Could it be…'

Chapter 33: Fatal misunderstanding

Huang Rong's heart jumped, "Is it possible that Master Ling has fallen under some kind of mind control? Similar to the Bewitching Technique of the "Nine Yin Scriptures"?" She was planning to step forward to find out, but when she saw Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua's happiness, she hesitated for a moment.

But soon after Huang Rong had this thought, she had another idea. She remembered the incident of Ling Shuanghua's marriage with the son of the Lu family. It caused a rift between the Lu Ling family and the Ling family. Her brother Jing was focused on national affairs and never considered the affairs of the family, thus she had to make more plans for the family. Their daughter Fu'er had grown up. That son of Lu family was talented in both civil and military, if they were to be married, Lu Wenhuan would definitely not restrict or guard against her brother Jing.

Making up her mind, Huang Rong faintly smiled, and let these few people leave. When Song Qingshu passed by her, Huang Rong lowered her voice and said with a smile, "Scholar Song's Nine Yin Scripture is well practiced."

Madame Hu was waiting outside the residence, and their group of four left Jingzhou City overnight. It wasn't until they stopped at a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city that Song Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief. His back was already soaked in cold sweat. His plan was a great one, but he forgot that Huang Rong had also practiced the Nine Yin Scripture. He didn't know why she didn't stop him. 'It's all because of my good karma', Song Qingshu cried out in his heart.

With a light cough, Song Qingshu approached Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua, "Master Ding, as promised I have made it possible for you lovers to finally get married. I wish you two a long and happy married life. But I hope you will keep your part of the promise and will teach me the remaining half of the Divine Brilliance Scripture."

Ding Dian smiled, "Okay, listen carefully."

Song Qingshu concentrated his attention and leaned forward, but Ding Dian suddenly struck him with a fist.

Madame Hu felt something was wrong when she noticed that Ding Dian was laughing, so she kept her attention on him. But Ding Dian's strike was too fast, she had no time to counter, so she could only jump and stand in front of Song Qingshu.

Ding Dian's fist strike hit Madame Hu on the back, and she snorted and sprayed out a mouthful of blood.

Song Qingshu's eyes turned bloodshot and he hugged Madame Hu in his arms, only to feel that her body had no strength, as if she had no bones. He didn't know how badly she was hurt, and then yelled at Ding Dian, "Are you crazy?"

Ding Dian blankly looked at his fist and secretly regretted it, but after hearing the question from Song Qingshu, he couldn't help but sneer,"Huh, did you really think that you and that villain can conceal your plot from me. I knew about it long ago!"

Song Qingshu was almost dizzy, "Was your brain hit by the door on the way out? I convinced Ling Tuisi to personally marry Miss Ling to you, what else do you want?"

"Yes, Brother Ding, is there any misunderstanding in this?" Ling Shuanghua on the side was also dumbfounded at the current turn of events.

"Shuanghua, you don't know this man's sinister heart. That day, when he said that he had a way to unite the two of us, I became suspicious, so I secretly followed him, and found out that all this was indeed a plot cooked up by him and your father. If I let their plan succeed. Once we are out of Jingzhou City, they will stab us in the back!" Ding Dian followed Song Qingshu that day and heard their plan to backstab him and Ling Shuanghua.

Song Qingshu sneered, "Are you an idiot? I went into the Ling Mansion by myself and how else would I succeed if I didn't make up some lies. How else could Ling Tuisi, that old fox, be fooled by me? Besides, Ling Tuisi wants your Liancheng Swordplay Manual, but I don't care about that, so why would I need to scheme together with him?"

Ding Dian was taken aback, and then he remembered that Song Qingshu already knew the secret of "Liancheng Swordplay Manual", so he really had no motive to cooperate with Ling Tuisi. Recalling the whole thing calmly, he couldn't help but suddenly realize that he hated himself for being corrupted by Ling Tuisi. After experiencing people's tricks, he regarded all the people in the world as villains. When he saw Song Qingshu, he subconsciously classified him as having ulterior motives and judged as a villain when he found a little evidence. He didn't even consider verifying the information.

When Ling Shuanghua saw her lover's expression, she realized that he had blamed the good guy, so she couldn't help but squat down to check Madam Hu's injuries. She saw her pale face and she became so angry that she couldn't help but cry out, "Big Brother Ding, sister, she's going to die soon, hurry up! Find a way to save her!"

At this moment Song Qingshu had already gritted his teeth, and his eyes were staring at the two of them with hatred. He also blamed himself. If it wasn't for him, then his sister-in-law would not be dying now.

As he looked at Ling Shuanghua's snow-white neck with bloodshot eyes, Song Qingshu's mind went blank for a moment, and a crazy smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He quietly took out a dagger from his sleeves, and was about to slash at her pink neck as a farewell to his sister-in-law. Kill her…make Ding Dian regret his whole life! As for the retaliation from Ding Dian afterwards, that was no longer important.

"There is a way!" Ding Dian quickly said after hearing Ling Shuanghua's voice.

Song Qingshu's heart jumped, he raised his head to look at Ding Dian, his pupils slowly returning to a touch of sanity.

"Then why are you not hurrying to save her?" Ling Shuanghua bitterly said, wondering why her Big Brother Ding suddenly became so slow-witted.

Ding Dian looked hesitant, and finally spoke, "I can save her with the help of the Divine Brilliance Scripture, but Madame Hu was injured very badly. I am afraid that I will need to take off my clothes, and then I will have to inject my true qi into her acupuncture points. This… between a man and woman…it's not appropriate, I…I…"

Ling Shuanghua flushed when she saw his anxious face. She knew that her lover was a gentleman, and he certainly didn't want to take advantage of another woman. But, if that was the only way, then it would ruin Madame Hu's reputation… so she glanced at Song Qingshu with embarrassment.The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))

When Song Qingshu heard that he could save Madame Hu's life, he was immediately ecstatic. He didn't care about anything else, he quietly put away the dagger, and quickly shouted, "Don't be so muddled, hurry up and save her!" Song Qingshu was from modern society, and he didn't care much about these decorums of ancient times. He wouldn't care even if Madame Hu had a full-body checkup!

Song Qingshu then noticed that his sleeves were being pulled slightly, and when he looked down, Madame Hu opened her eyes slightly and spoke in a weak but firm tone, "Qingshu, forget it, I will never let other men see my body. Promise me, don't let other men touch me!"

When she saw Song Qingshu nodding hesitantly, Madame Hu smiled, her eyes began to loosen, and her mouth murmured, "You must take care of Fei'er for me in the future. He will be alone. He has no father, and now there is no mother. He is really pitiful…"

Feeling her voice getting weaker and weaker, Song Qingshu's vision gradually became hazy. When he thought that she was the first and only person in this world that showed him unconditional kindness, he couldn't contain his grief any longer, he hugged her and burst into tears.

Standing aside, Ding Dian looked at Song Qingshu who was crying in front of him at a loss, with regret in his heart. Ling Shuanghua was also heartbroken, and she even began to think about whether this was her sin. It was so hard for her to finally be with her Big Brother Ding. And, such a thing happened immediately after that. Could it be that because she violated the vow of Heaven and now God was punishing them?

The two suddenly noticed that the sound of crying had disappeared. After coming out of their daze, they found that Song Qingshu had slowly raised his head and he said in a chilling voice, "Recite the contents of the other half of the "Divine Brilliance Scripture", hurry up!"

Chapter 34: That all-important "Healing Scene" in martial arts novels

'Does he want to learn it again to save Madame Hu?' Suddenly this thought came to Ding Dian's mind, and he could not help but comfort him, "Scholar Song, your talent is martial art is so high that this Ding has never seen anything like it in his life, but the Divine Brilliance Scripture is vast and profound. If you want to learn it in a moment, it is absolutely impossible."

"I told you to just recite it, why are you spouting so much nonsense, hurry up and speak!" Song Qingshu said coldly.

Ding Dian saw his crazed look and realized that talking would not help the situation, and he was the one that hurt them first. Out of guilt, Ding Dian began to recite the remaining part of the Divine Brilliance Scripture, "The heaven is vast, and the beginning of everything. The earth begets Yin in Yin; those who are fostered by the earth beget Yang in Yin…"

As Ding Dian recited faster and faster, Song Qingshu's eyes started to brighten. When Ding Dian finished the last sentence, Song Qingshu waved his hand, "You two, get out!"

"How is this possible!" When Ding Dian went out, he couldn't help but look back again and again. Song Qingshu clearly had broken meridians before. But when he finished listening to the "Divine Brilliance Scripture", the light in his eyes changed, and the elementary true Qi of the "Divine Brilliance Scripture" could be clearly felt from his aura.

"I must be going crazy!" Ding Dian vigorously pinched his thigh, and the pain that came from that let him know that he was not dreaming. However, he was quite proud of his talent in martial arts. Even without any guidance from his master, he comprehended the scripture on his own, and he did it in only five years. But, never in his wildest dreams did he expect to encounter something more freakish this time around. That guy just listened to him reciting the scripture. And suddenly he comprehended it all. What's more, he did that with crippled meridians!

"It seems that this is just like a game!" Inside the house Song Qingshu felt that his meridians were all healed, his body was full of energy, and he could only smile bitterly. He could practice martial arts by only listening to its techniques. Song Qingshu thought hard about it. He had only seen this type of thing in the game from his previous life. When the 'Players' obtained a certain technique, as long as they cleared the necessary conditions, with just a click, their martial arts would be at max level in an instant.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Even after waiting for a while, there was still no cold system NPC's voice in his ear. Song Qingshu looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and smiled, "Whether this is a game or not, I am real and my sister-in-law is real. That is enough."

As a well-informed earthling, he had been observing this chaotic world ever since his transmigration. Song Qingshu had always been skeptical of everything and secretly made several speculations. Among them, the most believable one was that he was caught by scientists after his car accident. They took him back to their lab and did a secret experiment. His thoughts were manipulated by technologies similar to virtual reality and put into this designed game world.

Actually, Song Qingshu was thinking too much. The universe was so vast and the earth's scientific system was only a drop in the ocean. It couldn't explain many wonderful phenomena at all. Unfortunately or fortunately, transmigration was one of them, and how this familiar and chaotic world came into being. It was definitely one of them.

Because Song Qingshu's soul went through a transmigration, his soul power was several times stronger than that of the natives of this world. Don't underestimate this gap of several times. It brings a qualitative difference. It takes several years for others to learn something, but he could instantly learn things just by listening due to that qualitative difference.

"Sister-in-law, forgive my offense." He had promised not to let other men touch her, but he himself was not another man. When she was injured, he had touched everything that should or shouldn't be touched. Song Qingshu silently apologized, and gently unbuttoned her dress.

*****

Madame Hu originally felt her body getting colder and lighter, drifting slowly in the endless darkness… Suddenly a light appeared in the sky, and the sun slowly came out.

When the sun shined on her body, Madame Hu felt warm, full of energy, and she thought to herself, 'Where am I?'

Madame Hu slowly opened her eyes, and her mind slowly recovered. Suddenly, her face paled and she realized that there wasn't even thread on her body. At this time, Song Qingshu's voice came over from behind her, "Sister-in-law, don't be excited. I am healing you, your injury is too serious, don't ruin all my efforts."

Madame Hu sighed in her heart, 'He really is my bane. It wasn't enough when I was touched by him last time. But, this time…there is nothing left…"

Feeling the heat coming from the palm on her chest, Madame Hu's heart trembled, she bit her silver white teeth, and closed her eyes in resignation.

After a night of treatment, Song Qingshu finally pulled Madame Hu back from the death's gate. When the two opened the gate of the ruined temple, they were greeted by Ling Shuanghua's kind smile and Ding Dian's stunned expression.

Ding Dian didn't have the time to notice the blushing Madame Hu. Instead, he pulled Song Qingshu over to the side to ask questions. After knowing that Song Qingshu had really learned the entire "Divine Brilliance Scripture", he looked at him with a complicated expression for a good while, "I'm hesitant to take advantage of you. I won't fight you during your growth period…"

Song Qingshu was shocked. After one night of treatment, his true Qi was completely exhausted at this time, and he had no energy to fight back.

Ling Shuanghua grinned and scolded him, "Big Brother Ding, don't scare Master Song. If you weren't so reckless last night, there wouldn't have been so many incidents."

Ding Dian awkwardly smiled, and bowed while holding his fist, "Brother Song, last night, I harmed the hand that fed me. I returned enmity instead of gratitude and caused…Miss Hu to almost die. I am here to make amends with you "

He didn't know Madame Hu's original surname, and only knew that they greeted each other as in-laws. But, after seeing the intimacy between them, and then thinking that Song Qinghsu would have to take off his clothes while healing. Ding Dian's expression turned weird and he changed it to Miss Hu in a hurry.

In his mind, Song Qingshu had stabbed this man's heart with thousands of swords yesterday, but fortunately, in the end, Madame Hu was safe, and he got a miraculous technique which healed his meridians. When everything was all right, this guy seemed more pleasing to his eyes and he quickly helped him up.

All night, it seemed like a lot happened in such a short time, and the four people sighed. After a period of greetings, when Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua saw that Madam Hu was all right, they took their leave.

During this period, Song Qingshu hesitated whether to remind them not to return to Jingzhou again. Then he saw Madam Hu's weak expression, and suddenly felt cruel, 'I will leave it to fate. If you run back to Jingzhou again and are killed by Ling Tuisi, then you deserve it too! Who made you hurt my sister-in-law?'

Only two people were left alone in silence. Madame Hu was feeling quite uncomfortable, and neither of them knew how to break this calm.

Song Qingshu, a modern person, didn't care about what happened last night, but he was afraid that Madame Hu's skin was too thin and it would be bad if he accidentally irritated her.

In the end, it was Madam Hu who couldn't bear this ambiguous silence, and she opened her mouth to ask, "How did you make Ling Tuisi agree to the marriage of the two that day?"

Song Qingshu almost laughed when he heard it. He didn't expect that she would hold on to such an irrelevant question for so long, but he forced down his smile and explained, "I used the 'Nine Yin Scripture' when I was alone with Ling Tuisi. The Bewitching Technique hypnotized him, and when he heard the specific instructions from me, he would say every word according to what I taught him."

Chapter 35: Try it, if you can

"Is this Bewitching Technique really so powerful?" Madame Hu was secretly surprised.

"It is often very useful to deal with people who want to harm you or have evil thoughts." Song Qingshu explained, "For example, it is useless for people with strong martial arts and pure heart." Song Qingshu made up a random reason. Because of his broken meridians, he was unable to practice anything even though he was sitting on treasures like the Nine Yin Scripture. He was unwilling to give up, and tried to study the scriptures over and over again. Finally, he was delighted to discover that the cultivation of the Bewitching Technique did not require the circulation of internal energy at all, and was completely dependent on spiritual energy. It was at that time, Song Qingshu knew that as long as the cultivation conditions were met, he might be able to learn martial arts instantly.

"I don't believe it, you just don't want to tell me the truth." Madame Hu's voice became extremely delicate.

"Then do you want to try experiencing it?" Song Qingshu felt that his heartbeat suddenly sped up, and he stared at her without blinking.

Madame Hu glanced at him, her heart swayed under his scorching gaze, and she replied in a mysterious manner, "Try it, if you can."

"Sister-in-law, look into my eyes…" Song Qingshu couldn't be polite anymore when he got the approval of the beautiful lady.

When Madame Hu's eyes came into contact with his, she suddenly felt trapped in a huge whirlpool, and she began to lose control over her mind.

"Sister-in-law, come and hug me." Although he could do so much more, Song Qingshu was still sensible and did not dare to give any radical instructions.

"Yes~" Madame Hu spoke in an unusually charming voice, and she walked over step by step, stretched out her jade white arms, hugged Song Qingshu tightly, and gently leaned her head against his chest.

With the jade-like beauty in his arms, Song Qingshu thought that the gain was big enough this time, and hurriedly snapped her fingers. Madame Hu woke up to find their current situation and pushed Song Qingshu away with shame and anger.

"Mistake, it was all a mistake!" Song Qingshu explained with embarrassment, "I forgot that I had just practiced a miraculous technique, and my internal strength might be a little bit higher than my sister-in-law…"Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m

Madame Hu sighed faintly, and looked at him with a complicated expression, "Qingshu, you are very skilled in the use of Bewitching Technique. It is really an evil art. If you…really wanted to, I don't know how many beautiful flowers would be tarnished."

"Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand, I'm not that kind of person." Song Qingshu quickly tried to prove his innocence, "Martial arts itself is not evil, only those who use martial arts have good and evil qualities. Even the righteous Guo Jing, and Huang Rong's couple uses this technique."

"Well, I know that you won't do anything wrong." Madame Hu smiled faintly, "But you have to promise me that you can't use this method on your sister-in-law in the future." There was a wave of shame in her heart, 'If he really couldn't control himself, made me warm his bed, what am I going to do…'

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will never use it on you again." Song Qingshu said with a serious expression and solemnly agreed.

"Then this sister-in-law, won't worry." Madame Hu smiled, and the rising sun shone on her delicate cheeks, and Song Qingshu couldn't help but be stunned.

Noting his sincere gaze, Madame Hu decided on something in her heart, "Qingshu, I'm afraid this sister-in-law is going to leave."

Those few brisk and melodious words sounded like thunder in Song Qingshu's ears, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that evil deed to tease you."

"It has nothing to do with that." Madame Hu sighed faintly. "I am a widow. I promised to help you find a cure for your meridians. It was necessary to travel together with you. Now your meridians have been cured, I have no reason to stay with you any longer."

"Then I would rather prefer my cripled meridian than curing it." Song Qingshu said in an angry manner.

"Why are you getting angry…" Madame Hu also felt a little funny seeing him acting like a child. After hesitating, she persuaded, "Qingshu, during this period, for various reasons, between us… Our relationship has gotten more intimate than the average brother-in-law and sister-in-law."

"We are as bright as the sun and as clear as the moon, and there is nothing to be ashamed of." Song Qingshu said anxiously.

"What if I have a guilty conscience?" Madame Hu's words gave Song Qingshu a feeling of Deja vu and he was startled. "Which brother-in-law and sister-in-law have seen each other naked?" The following words made both of them feel stunned, and both fell silent.

"Qingshu, your thoughts, sister-in-law can also guess one or two points…" After a while, Madame Hu continued.

Song Qingshu opened his mouth in a hurry, but it was gently pressed by Madame Hu with a slender finger on his lips, "Don't worry, just listen to me." Song Qingshu had a thousand words to say, but it was suddenly pressed back into his belly by that slender finger.

"Qingshu, it is impossible between us. I am a widow. You have a great future and a destined girl is waiting for you." Madame Hu's voice was still as soft and pleasant as usual, but it frightened Song Qingshu. He felt a deep fear, knowing that he might lose her forever.

"I don't care!" Song Qingshu roared.

"But I care!" Madame Hu's face became extremely calm at the moment, and she spoke word by word, "I am Hu Yidao's wife, even if he dies, I will still be his wife, forever!"

Madame Hu had never dared to face the recent changes in her heart. This time she was alarmed by the Bewitching Technique, forcing her to make a final decision.

Song Qingshu remained silent. For modern people, the status of a widow was nothing. As long as the two loved each other, everything else was not a problem. However, in this world, rituals and traditions were something that everyone valued, and he also could not ask Madame Hu to be as open-minded as himself.

He had always subconsciously avoided thinking about this problem before. But now that he thought about it, even if Madame Hu agreed to be with him, the social resistance that both sides would face at that time was not something they could afford.

In order to take a small advantage on that day, Song Qingshu and the dead Hu Yidao became brothers. If he finally got together with his widow, not only Madame Hu, but Song Qingshu himself would be ruined, and the two would be spurned by the world.

Song Qingshu was a mature man, although sometimes impulsive, he never lacked reason, and quickly understood the reason behind Madam Hu's decision.

Now he regretted very much why he had to bow his head and become sworn brothers!

"Do you finally understand?" Madame Hu saw his expression gradually returning to calm. Although it was painful, she still hardened her heart and asked.

"Yes…" Song Qingshu nodded with a wry smile, "Now I can't even deal with minor storms, let alone shelter you from the wind and rain. But don't worry, sister-in-law, one day I will make sure that the world will be unable to oppose us. "

"What nonsense~" Madame Hu snorted, "I don't care what you think, since you understand, then I'm leaving."

"Sister-in-law, I regret it, and I wish to use the Bewitching Technique on you again." Song Qingshu suddenly raised his head and smiled.

Madame Hu was shocked and quickly closed her eyes, "Qingshu, what are you trying to do?"

"I'm joking with you," Song Qingshu sighed, "I just think that I don't know the name of my sister-in-law even though we have been together for so long. I'm really a bit regretful, and I want to ask about it through the Bewitching Technique.

Madame Hu gave him an angry look, "Do you know that except for the closest relatives, a woman's name is usually only told to her husband?"

"I know." Song Qingshu's smile almost caused Madame Hu to suffocate, and she gave him a blank look, "I don't want to care about you." She then turned and left.

After walking quite far, she turned around and saw that Song Qingshu was still staring at her, standing in the same place. Madame Hu softened her heart and put her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Brother Hu called me Bing Xue'er back then." Then using her movement technique she disappeared as if running away.

Goblin: I am posting from my phone today. That means I have bad news. My computer stopped working. It was auto restarting from about two days ago. I managed to work on it till noon today. But, when I tried to start it this evening, the screen remained black. No matter what I did it wouldn't turn on. There's a ongoing countrywide lockdown where I am from, so I can't go to a good mechanic to get it checked up. I finished this chapter this morning, so I'm posting it. I'll try to do something about my computer tomorrow. If it's dead for good, then I'll be in big big trouble. Pray for me.

(Update: Good news! I managed to fix my computer! So, no need to worry anymore.)

Chapter 36: The way to search for treasures

"Bingxue'er?" Song Qingshu muttered to himself, carving the name on his heart.

He was hesitating whether to follow her and catch up. After taking a few steps, he finally took it back. What was the use of catching up?

At this moment, Song Qingshu had an intense urge to become stronger. Previously, it was because of Zhou Zhiruo's pursuit and impending death. But now, he had a new reason, it was to be able to be with Bing Xue'er smoothly in the future.

He clearly remembered how much resistance Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu faced at the beginning. Yang Guo was almost killed by Guo Jing with a single palm strike, which caused a series of tragedies for the two of them.

What was the cause of all this? It could be said that the secular social rituals killed people without seeing any blood, or it could also be said that Yang Guo's early strength was insufficient.

Later, when Yang Guo became almost invincible in the world. He used the Jade Maiden Swordplay and alongside with Xiao Longnu he fought and forced the King of Jin dynasty into an embarrassing defeat. Who would dare to criticise the two of them after that? Did Guo Jing and Huang Rong dare to use social norms as an excuse to attack them again?

Song Qingshu didn't want to repeat the same mistakes of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu. He knew that Madam Hu would either go to the King of Venoms to find Hu Fei or go back to Liaodong Villa. It would not be difficult for him to find her. Instead, the top priority for him right now was to strengthen himself.

Coming to a big rock on the top of a nearby mountain, Song Qingshu sat cross-legged and meditated on some martial arts he remembered. Although his meridians were all broken, he deliberately wrote down many skills like the "Nine Yin Scripture", "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms", "Dragon Slaughtering Heavenly Sword", "Dragon Capturing Hand", "Palm of Infinity Web" and more. He didn't expect it to be really useful now. After half a day, when Song Qingshu opened his eyes, his internal energy became thick and strong again.

Although he had learned the Nine Yin Scriptures and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in a short period of time, Song Qingshu was a little bit unhappy. His ability to practice martial arts techniques in an instant was indeed heaven defying. But now he discovered that what the ability brought him was only the ability to practice it.

A martial arts technique is a thing that has to be compatible with the practitioner. Only the proper synergy between the temperament of the martial artist and the style of martial arts can bring out the maximum power of martial arts.

For example, Song Qingshu now could perform both the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, but these two martial arts were not very compatible with his own temperament. Therefore, while performing the same Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Song Qingshu's power would be far inferior to those of Qiao Feng and Guo Jing. And it was the same for the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, Song Qingshu's power would not be as powerful as Zhou Zhiruo and Mei Chaofeng.

There were many martial arts techniques in the Nine Yin Scripture such as the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, the White Boa Whip Skill, the Heart Shattering Palm…Wasn't there anything that matched the temperament of Song Qingshu? Of course there was, it was the great Bewitching Technique.

Song Qingshu's expression turned a little weird. How could he be so compatible with that particular martial arts technique? Could it be that his temperament really was that much flowery? Did he really have the destiny of a womanizer?

Now, he was really confident when it came to that particular technique. He was pretty sure that no one else in the world had cultivated it more profoundly than him. Even if it was Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who practiced the same technique. If he caught them unprepared, they would be controlled by him, mind and soul.

In addition to the matter of compatibility with martial arts, Song Qingshu still had a big problem, that was, he had too little actual combat experience. Although he knew every move, he had to choose which one was more appropriate to parry in the face of an enemy attack, and then which one he should use next as a counterattack. All of this made him really confused.

"Wang Yuyan and I are two extreme existences," Song Qingshu spoke to himself with a wry smile, "She has a vast amount of experience, but she doesn't know how to practice martial arts. I know how to practice martial arts, but my experience is way too low."

"I will create my own path, anyway, martial arts fighting will ultimately rely on speed and strength, and I will work harder on this to come up with some clever tricks! That'll be fun, haha~" Song Qingshu couldn't help but raise his head towards the sky and laugh out loud for having such a great idea.

On the way down the mountain, Song Qingshu practised the Divine Brilliance Scripture for a while, and the Nine Yin Scripture for another while, and finally his complexion became more and more ugly. One of the two internal strengths was of the strong yang element, and the other belonged to the gentle yin element. They were completely incompatible. If he didn't want to explode and die at the end, he could only choose one martial art to practice.

"Damn!" Song Qingshu couldn't help but curse out loud. The two internal arts had their own advantages, and it was really difficult to choose between them.

After struggling for half a day, he finally gave up thinking, and temporarily let go of the two kinds of techniques. Anyway, he won't reach any critical points for a while.

While walking down the mountain, he was actually thinking about where to go next. By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, Song Qingshu had made a decision in his heart. He would first go to the "Boundless Jade Cave" he had seen in a post on the forum in his previous life.

Now that he was certain about his ability to learn at a glance like a game bug, it would be really a waste of God's gift if he didn't sweep the world of martial arts.

The "Northern Darkness Divine Scriptures" in the Boundless Jade Cave would be just one of many. After all, Song Qing's body had the Divine Brilliance Scripture and Nine Yin Scripture, and his internal energy was already very strong. The "Northern Darkness Divine Scripture" needed one to empty one's body first, so it had little to no use for him. The "Minute Ice Ripple Step", however, was different, it was the best choice to save one's life.

If he wanted to live in this violent world, Song Qingshu had to be extremely cautious, no matter how many life-saving skills he had, it still wouldn't be enough.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Song Qingshu immediately embarked on the road to Dali. Along the way, he kept thinking that there were so many martial arts secrets in the world just waiting for him to go and find them one by one. There was the Kunlun Mountains "Nine Yang Divine Art", "Tomb of Swords", Mount Hua's "Thinking Over the Cliff", "Nine Swords of Dugu", "Golden Snake Scripture" of Golden Snake Cave, Fujian's Demon Vanquishing Sword Art…ah, yeah, he couldn't even count them all!

While he thought about all this, Song Qingshu's sad mood due to the departure of Bing Xue'er gradually became brighter.

Traveling all the way through the mountains, rivers and deep into the barren land, he finally found out the location of the Limitless Sword Sect. Although Song Qingshu knew that the Boundless Jade Cave was near the Limitless Sword Sect, he didn't know the specific location, so he had to use that piece of jade as a clue and searched around.

It took more than half a month to finally find the Boundless Jade Cave, "Sister Goddess, I'm coming~" Song Qingshu happily ran in. At this time, if someone else heard his hungry and thirsty voice, they wouldn't know what to think.

When he saw the jade statue from a distance, it really looked like a living person. The light yellow silk dress on her body trembled slightly. Her pair of eyes were shining brightly, and the texture of the white jade also revealed a faint red color, which was similar to the skin of real humans. There was virtually no difference.

Staring at those deep dark eyes, Song Qingshu felt as if it actually had a heartbeat, "It's no wonder that dumb Duan Yu was captivated by this, and couldn't let it go."This chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Thinking of the purpose of his trip, Song Qingshu didn't have the time to appreciate any beauty. He hurriedly picked up the skirt of the jade statue and carefully looked down.

When he finally found the mat, Song Qingshu noticed a hole on it and his expression turned a little ugly. He stretched out his hand to dig in the hole for a while, and finally gave up after he found nothing.

It seemed that Duan Yu in this world had already made his first appearance. He had already noticed that the plot flow of this world was somewhat different from the original. But, Song Qingshu still hoped for the best, in case Duan Yu hasn't come here yet. Now it seemed that everything was just his pipe dream.

Chapter 37: Exploring Heavenly Dragon Monastery at night

"When Zhang Wuji learned martial arts, he knew better to leave the scroll behind for others. This Duan Yu, on the other hand, likes to eat the plate clean. So stingy!" Song Qing slandered, and thinking about Zhang Wuji, his mood got even worse.

"I seem to remember that there was a drawing of the naked sister Goddess in the scroll, demonstrating the direction of each acupuncture point." Song Qingshu's lips suddenly revealed a smile of understanding when he thought of that possibility. They were men, and they all had the tendency to monopolise the things they liked when they got them. That Duan Yu probably couldn't bear to leave it here for other people to watch.

Now that Duan Yu had learned "Northern Darkness Divine Scripture" and "Minute Ice Ripple Step", Song Quingshu didn't know if he had also learned the Six Meridian Divine Sword. Song Qingshu was unwilling to run all the way there in vain. But in the end he still followed his plan to go to Heavenly Dragon Monastery.

The Bone Forging Chapter of the "Nine Yin Scripture" allowed people to practice internal strength much faster than ordinary people. Now that Song Qingshu was equipped with the "Nine Yin Scripture" and "Divine Brilliance Scripture", he thought that his internal strength should be enough to use the Six Meridian Divine Sword.

There were many followers of Buddhism in Dali, and when they heard that he was going to Heavenly Dragon Monastery, they were eager to show the way. When Song Qingshu finally arrived outside the Heavenly Dragon Monastery, the sky was already dark.

"These days, the various schools of martial arts are very self-conscious. This "Six Meridian Divine Sword" is not even passed on to any normal disciples. It would be impossible if I wanted to borrow it." Song Qingshu thought for a while. He wasn't some righteous gentleman. So, he didn't have the psychological aversion to stealing. Anyway, he wasn't exactly going to steal it. He just wanted to read it once. Could that be counted as stealing?

He walked around the outer wall of the Heavenly Dragon Monastery, looked for a secluded place, and with a light leap, Song Qingshu silently landed inside. He hid his tracks all the way as he searched, passing by Qingdu Yaotai, Wu Tian Jing, and Sanyuan Palace. He also passed by the Dusita Academy, Yuhua Academy, Prajna Terrace, and finally came before a few pine huts. The feeling of magnificence and splendor along the way felt very different to Song Qingshu. And he thought in his heart, 'I bet that this is the place where they keep all the books.'

As he cautiously jumped to the roof and gently uncovered a tile, Song Qingshu's brows suddenly wrinkled.

There were six monks in the hut sitting on the mats in a circle. They all had a calm expression and long breathing.

'It won't be easy now.' Song Qingshu unconsciously sighed. 'The Six Monks of the Heavenly Dragon Monastery are all here, and even if Jiumozhi himself came here, he wouldn't be able to do anything. I'm afraid that it's even more impossible for me.'

"Since you are already here, why don't you show yourself for us to see?" The monk inside the hut facing the wall spoke up, raised his thumb, and a scorching sword qi rushed towards Song Qingshu. This sudden attack shocked Song Qingshu and he lost the support under his feet. The roof broke as a result, then he spun around a few times and landed safely into the hut.Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om

"I have committed a great offense by visiting your temple late at night, and I hope a few seniors will have a forgiving mind." After Song Qingshufu landed, he respectfully bowed.

The monks in the room had already opened their eyes and looked at him with interest. Zen Master Kurong was still facing the wall and sneered, "Even though your words are respectful, your deeds are devious. May we know the reason behind your late night visit."

Song Qingshu hesitated a little. It seemed that there was no hope of quietly taking the manual. So, he decided to imitate Jiumozhi, and made up some nonsense, "This humble one heard that the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' of Heavenly Dragon Monastery is the world's number one sword technique. But, by chance this junior had the good fortune of witnessing Senior Feng Qingyang's 'Nine Swords of Dugu' before. It truly was a good fortune and I really can't imagine that there is a more powerful sword technique than the 'Nine Swords of Dugu'. I came to Heavenly Dragon Monastery this time to see the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' with my own eyes. I wanted to compare it with the 'Nine Swords of Dugu' in my memory to see which is the best sword art in the world."

Several monks in the hut heard his words and began to discuss the Sword Sage of the Mount Hua Sect. He had a clear reputation and was famous in the Wulin. He was known as the world's number one swordsman. The monks here have been fascinated by his 'Nine Swords of Dugu' for a long time. Today when they heard Song Qingshu mention it. Many people began to think.

Kurong remained motionless, and spoke with a hoarse and cold voice, "Your Excellency wants to see the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword', then why do you need to read the sword manual? This poor monk, although low in martial arts, can also perform the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword'."

It seemed that Jiumozhi had already paid a visit to the Heavenly Dragon Monastery. Song Qingshu sighed in his heart. He was still behind the plot this time. The monks secretly stood in the field, surrounded themselves in the center, and hurriedly smiled bitterly. "Duan Yu has already visited your Heavenly Dragon Monastery, and the rumor that the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' manual was burned is true. Although there were many misunderstandings during my visit, there were no evil intentions. The Senior Monks should exercise compassion and let this junior leave peacefully."

Everyone in the hut looked at each other, and felt uncertain in their hearts. How did he know such a secret? The former king of Dali, Benchen was worried about the safety of his nephew Duan Yu, and anxiously said, "Since you know such a secret thing so clearly, we must not let you come into contact with Kumozhi, so please stay." After talking he stretched out his ring finger, and scorching sword qi shot out.

At the moment Song Qingshu wanted to slap himself for having such a big mouth. All he had to do was to pretend and follow the plot. But no, he just had to open his mouth and create trouble!

Although he was upset in his heart, his reaction was not slow, and he dodged the sword qi with swift movement. Seeing that Benchen had attacked, the other monks in the hut also joined him. For a time, the hut was full of scattered sword qi flying around in every direction, and the sound was like wind and thunder in the stormy sky.

Song Qingshu was forced to be in an embarrassing situation. Although the strike of the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" was invisible, it was fortunate that it could be predicted by observing the motion of the fingers of the attackers.

The sword qi always followed a straight line. Song Qingshu noticed the angle of each person's finger when they used the sword qi, and he could roughly guess where the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' attack would shoot from. So, even though he was embarrassingly rolling on the ground, it was still a surprise to the attackers. He secretly thanked his junior high school physics teacher.

"Good form!" The Senior Monk Kurong, who had not yet attacked, gave a compliment. Then he raised his fingers, and 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' qi immediately appeared.

The cultivation base of Senior Monk Kurong was indeed a lot higher than the other five monks. Although the other five monks were attacking with sword qi, they couldn't really hurt Song Qingshu, who was performing the "Slithering Snake Jumping Raccoon Technique" from the Nine Yin Scripture. Although Kurong still didn't look back, the two sword qi's he sent pinpointed the gap when Song Qingshu's body changed shape while dodging.

Because he had to dodge the sword qi of the other five monks, Song Qingshu's angle of movement on the ground was blocked by the two sword qi from Kurong. So he had no choice but to venture into the air.

Kurong smiled slightly. He had been expecting this when he attacked with those two sword qi. At the moment, Song Qingshu was in the air, and there was no room to change his angle. So, he would be severely injured and captured with a single sword qi from Kurong.

Song Qingshu's expression became dignified, he did panic for a moment but it did not confuse him. He stepped on the instep of his right foot with the tip of his left foot, and then rose a few feet out of thin air, just enough to avoid the two sword qi of Kurong. He knew that if everyone kept shooting, it would be a matter of time before he got hit by these sword qi. So, he quickly launched a counterattack.

He drew a semicircle with his left hand and pushed out with the palm of his right hand. It was the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Kurong immediately felt a surge of vigorous aura targeting him. He had just released the sword qi and had not fully adjusted his breath. So, he did not dare to insist, and quickly got up and flashed aside. Then he looked back to see that the mat in the original place was blown away by the wind from the palm strike, and was shocked, "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"

Chapter 38: Nine Yin Scripture, do you want to exchange it?

With the help of the counter-shock force of his palm, Song Qingshu moved a few feet aside in mid-air. He used "The Dragon Soars in the Sky" to avoid the sword aura of the five monks below him, and took advantage of the gap of their breath adjustment to use "The Proud Dragon Repents" of the "Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms" to counter attack. The monks hurriedly blocked it with their palms, and suffered serious internal injuries as soon as they made contact.

Song Qingshu thanked his good luck inside his heart. Fortunately, these people lacked internal energy. Every time they shot a sword qi, they needed a few seconds to adjust their breath. Although they could cover for each other with a sword formation, but they wereVisit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

haughty, and their individual strength was not as powerful. All five people were severely injured by the gap that he had found, but Song Qinghsu was not unscathed either. The clash disrupted his blood flow and he hurriedly adjusted his breath without letting them notice.

"Stop!" Senior Monk Kurong finally turned around, his face was the same as it was described in the book, his head was as smooth as a baby, and his expression a bit haggard, "What an excellent mastery of the 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms', is your Excellency Master Qiao Feng (Xiao Feng)?" (Goblin: Xiao Feng's former name was Qiao Feng.)

"This lowly one has always admired the demeanor of King Xiao in the South. With my meagre skills, I wouldn't dare to compare myself with him." Song Qingshu spoke the truth. If it was Xiao Feng performing the same "The Proud Dragon Repents" just now, he would have created at least three-fold waves of attack. Moreover, with the speed and strength of his palm, he would have given the monks no way out. If Xiao Feng had the same kind of opportunity, and attacked with "The Dragon Soars in the Sky", the five monks would have additional broken bones instead of just suffering a serious internal injury.

"That's right, your excellency stepped up a few feet while in mid-air. It should be Wudang's unique 'Cloud-Ascending Ladder'. And you should have used the 'Slithering Snake Jumping Raccoon Technique' from the legendary Nine Yin Scripture when you were dodging on the ground." Kurong spoke with a solemn expression, with his palms folded together, "Your Excellency is so young, yet he has so many unique skills. That is truly rare in the world."

"The Great Monk really has a wide range of knowledge." Song Qingshu said admiringly. "There is no malice in this visit. I just want to see Dali's 'Six Meridians Divine Sword'." Then he sneered in his heart. If they hadn't seen his martial arts, he might have been captured at this very moment. This was the way of the world, the weak would be humiliated, and the strong would be respected.

"Since your Excellency has gotten what you wanted, please take your leave." Senior Monk Kurong's expression remained calm as he sent off this uninvited guest.

"The Great Monk already knows that this junior was using the "Nine Yin Scriptures", and you must have heard of the legend of the 'Nine Yin Scriptures'. Don't take offence, but the status of the "Nine Yin Scriptures" in the Wulin may be slightly higher than that of your noble Sword Manual. If the Masters are willing, then I am willing to exchange the 'Nine Yin Scriptures' for the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' manual. Don't worry, I will not take it away from you. I just want to take a look at it, and fulfill a long-cherished wish. " Song Qingshu spoke in a voice that was full of temptation. He was different from the martial artists of this world, he did not want to short-sightedly monopolise any particular techniques. Besides, the 'Nine Yin Scriptures' didn't originally belong to him, so he didn't feel any distress from exchanging it.

The monks glanced at each other, and they all saw the heart's desire in each other's eyes. The "Nine Yin Scriptures", Shaolin School's "Yi Jin Jing (Tendon Refining Method)", "Nine Yang Divine Art", and Sun Moon Holy Cult's "Sunflower Manual" were known as the four great martial arts manuals of the current age.

In the past, the "Nine Yin Scriptures" was the cause of much bloodshed, as martial artists of the Central Plains competed fiercely with each other to seize possession of it. In the end, after an intense competition on Mount Hua that lasted seven days, it was won by Wang Chongyang, and he took it to his Quanzhen Sect.

It is said that when Jiumozhi offered to exchange his "Flower Pinching Finger", "Pattra Finger", and "The Maha Finger", the monks showed no emotion, but now Song Qingshu's proposal had caused ripples in the heart of even the Great Monk Kurong.

"Maybe your Excellency is not aware of it. Recently, the 'Maha Cakra Vajra' Jiumozhi came here with bad intentions. This Old Monk had to burn the sword manual to prevent the sword art from being taken away. Your Excellency is probably going to be disappointed." This Great Monk practiced Buddhism for so many years, it was not for nothing, and he quickly calmed his mind, and refused to say anything more.

"I also know that ." Song Qingshu said with a smile, not surprised, "But didn't all the monks present here also learn the sword art? I think you can easily rewrite the sword manual if you wanted to."

When he saw that the monks were still hesitating, Song Qingshu decided to add oil to the fire, and asked, "How do you think my internal energy compares to the masters present here?"

One of the abbots hesitated for a while, but he still told the truth, "Your internal strength is much higher than mine. Other than the Great Master and the Grand Master, I am afraid none of us will be your match."

Kurong shook his head, "I don't need to hide this for you because this young man's internal strength is slightly better than mine."

"Don't all the Masters think that is weird?" Song Qingshu smiled, "At such a young age, my time to practice internal energy will definitely not be as good as that of everyone present. Why does my internal strength outperform all the masters now?"

"Could it be the effect of the 'Nine Yin Scriptures'?" The monks couldn't help asking.

"Yes, the 'Nine Yin Scriptures' contains a 'Tendons Reforging Method', which allows the learner to practice internal skills much faster than ordinary people, and that is the reason behind this junior's superior internal strength." Song Qingshu deliberately paused and looked at the faces around him. After judging the expressions of the people he continued, "Just now I noticed that each of the masters here had practiced a different sword art. And I speculated that your internal strength is insufficient and it is not enough to cultivate the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' all at once. May I know if my conjecture is correct?"

"Yes, the internal energy required to use the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' is beyond the reach of humans, so we decided to practice each vein separately." Kurong calmly said.

"Obviously, the full power of the 'Six Meridian Divine Sword' can only be fully achieved by the simultaneous use of the six meridians. Although the sword formations of the masters are exquisite, it is inevitable that they will be obscure and create gaps during each rotation. It means the opponent can take advantage of that, and can counter attack during that gap. But with the 'Nine Yin Scriptures', you will be able to cultivate supreme internal strength, and when the time comes to use the 'Six Meridian Divine Sword', it will surely be perfect. I only ask that you allow me to take look at the sword manual, and after the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, I will definitely return it to the original owner." Song Qingshu spoke earnestly, and it certainly sounded like a good proposal among the monks as well.

"Uncle Master, since this young man is so sincere, why not let him see it for time it takes to burn a stick of incense?" Abbot Bencai turned around and asked Great Monk Kurong for his opinion. The other four monks in the scene also had the same idea. Although there were many mysteries in this world. There were few people capable of memorizing things in such a short amount of time. And to remember the complex 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' in just a stick of incense time, they were sure it was beyond the reach of humans.

Kurong remained silent for a long time, and finally looked up at Song Qingshu and asked, "Your Excellency is clearly a master of martial arts, and you have very few rivals in your peers. Why do you need our Dali's the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword'?" He actually didn't think Song Qingshu could memorize the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' in such a short time, but he knew well enough that there was no free lunch in the world. The other party was in possession of a legendary technique such as the "Nine Yin Scriptures", so although it seemed impossible to learn something with just a look, he must have a way to acquire the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword'.

Song Qingshu gave a wry smile and sighed, "Not to mention you martial arts seniors, even among the same generation, how does the Great Monk think my martial arts compare to the great King Xiao Feng of the Khitan?"

Great Monk Kurong hesitated for a moment, and shook his head slightly, "The great King Xiao swept through the martial arts circle in the Central Plains and set off a bloody storm in the Wulin. He used the 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' and dominated with one palm. Although your martial arts is good, compared to King Xiao, I am afraid that there is still a way to go."

"What about Zhang Wuji, the Ming Cult leader?" When Song Qingshu said that name, he couldn't help but think of Zhou Zhiruo, his murderous wife, and he felt very upset.

Chapter 39: The Leader of Emei, fooled by a child

"Master Zhang is a master of miraculous martial arts, and he is full of magnificence. At that time, he fought against the masters of the six major "orthodox" sects, and helped to resolve the conflict between them and the Ming Cult. Your Excellency's martial arts may still be slightly lacking compared to the great master Zhang." Great Monk Kurong thought for a long time, and made his own judgment.

"Now, the great master knows why I still covet the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' of your noble monastery?" Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. As soon as he said this, he knew that he lost any chance of getting the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' anymore. But at his core he was this kind of person, although sometimes he acted evil, he always had his own pride and arrogance. Sometimes he felt reluctant to be too wretched, and disdained to lie.

Sure enough, when he heard his words, Kurong chanted the Buddha's name in silence, "Your Excellency is straightforward and speaks frankly, it shows that you are an honest and upright person. It is just that the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' of this monastery has never been passed on to outsiders, and this poor monk does not want to be the sinner in hundreds of years. I hope that Your Excellency will forgive me."

"I understand. I disturbed the masters tonight, and I hope you forgive my offence." After speaking, Song Qingshu let out a loud laugh and turned to leave.

The Great Monk didn't stop him, looking at Song Qingshu's leaving figure, he thought to himself, 'There may be a great upheaval in the Wulin in the future.'

*****

After leaving Heavenly Dragon Monastery, Song Qingshu also secretly regretted it in his heart, 'I already had the old monks in a corner, but why did I bother to pretend to be so righteous?'

But this thought was fleeting. It was impossible to turn back time, and get the 'Six Meridians Divine Sword'. What's the use of regretting now? He secretly comforted himself with a few words, 'Anyway, there are so many wonderful martial arts in the world, why should I settle for only one?

Thinking of this, Song Qingshu became happy again, and immediately embarked on the road of searching for other martial arts secrets.

Acquiring the "Northern Darkness Divine Scripture", "Minute Ice Ripple Step", and that damn "Six Meridians Divine Sword" ended in failure. Now he had to think about the rest of the treasures. The "Nine Yang Divine Scripture" was hidden in the dangerous Kunlun Mountains, and it won't be easy to find it. And now that he had both the "Divine Brilliance Scripture" and the "Nine Yin Scriptures", the "Nine Yang Divine Scripture" was of not much help to him anyways. Besides, that was Zhang Wuji's martial arts, and he felt disgusted when he thought about it. Song Qingshu quickly denied the idea of ​​going to Kunlun Mountains.

The "Supreme Mysteries Scripture" of the South China Sea was too illusory, and it would be foolish to go search for it in the vast sea. He was afraid that would be buried in the belly of the sea by people from the Xia Ke Island (Heroes' Island) before he even found it. He shook his head and denied that plan as well.

Evil Warding Sword Art…Uh, next one!

It seemed that there was something called the "Small Phaseless Power" in the Shishui Pavilion of Manduo Mountain Villa. But even the "Nine Yang Divine Art" was not helpful to him. Then what would he do with a "Small Phaseless Power"? It was quickly denied again.

How about learning the sword technique of the Ancient Tomb Sect, the "Jade Maiden Swordplay"? Well, to do that he had to be able to draw a circle with his left hand and a square with his right hand. Song Qingshu tried several times and looked at the two shapes on the sand that were not round nor square. No matter how intelligent he was, this seemed quite impossible to do. It seemed that the "Jade Maiden Swordplay" could not be practiced, so let's look for something else. This twisted sword technique was not in line with his own personality and temperament anyways.

White clothes like the snow, accompanied by a sword, flying immortal soaring in the sky, that was the heroic posture that all men yearned for!

It seemed that the only one remaining was the "Tomb of Swords" in the Shendiao Valley and the "Nine Swords of Dugu" of the Mount Hua Sect. When he thought about the legendary sword art, Song Qingshu became enthusiastic and embarked on the journey overnight.New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

Somewhere in the deep valley outside Xiangyang, Hubei. Song Qingshu looked at the pile of bird droppings with a blue face and accidentally stepped on some as well. He spit out from the severe stench, "That stupid big eagle can really let it out!"

With this reference object, Song Qingshu quickly found the place where Dugu wanted to bury his bones. Looking at the pile of rocks and a few domineering words on the wall, Song Qingshu remained silent for a long time, and finally cursed out loud, "Motherfu*ker! What's the use of just bragging on? You could've written some secret skills here!"

What kind of luck did Yang Gou have to become so strong in such a short time and defeat so many powerful enemies such as Jinlun Guoshi the 'Golden Wheel Imperial Adviser'?

Searching through the sword tomb, but not finding any martial arts secrets, Song Qingshu suddenly felt a sense of frustration from being abused.

"A thief doesn't go empty handed, otherwise there will be more bad luck next time." Song Qingshu picked up a wooden sword and put it on his back. He suddenly thought of something and took a deep breath. "It seems that I used up all my good luck from that incident with Duan Yu that day. After she left me, I am coming out empty time and time again!"

"I don't believe that I won't get anything from Mount Hua!" Song Qingshu sternly remarked and embarked on the road to Mount Hua.

*****

Now, let's talk about the White Horse Temple, the abode of the King of Venoms on the bank of Dongting Lake thousands of miles away. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu were looking at the beautiful woman in front of them with their eyes wide open, "This beautiful aunt, are you really Brother Song's wife?"

Zhou Zhiruo's face twitched, but she still said with a smile, "Yes, little brother, Qingshu is indeed this auntie's husband. Because he was seriously injured, he was unwilling to drag me down. I visited Songzhou's Godly Doctor Xue of Zhoucheng and Ping Yizhi of Kaifeng. Then I heard that Qingshu appeared near this village a few days ago. Auntie thought that she finally found him. Can my younger brother and younger sister tell auntie where he went?"

Zhou Zhiruo was searching around to find Song Qingshu all this time, and finally found his whereabouts, but she was deeply afraid of the reputation of the King of Venoms, so she did not dare to use strong words, that's why she had to cheat.

"Hmph, I thought Big Brother Song was a gentleman, he already had a wife in his family, so why did he come to provoke my mother!" Little Hu Fei snorted coldly.

"That's right, when I saw his eyes staring at me, I knew he was not a good thing." Cheng Lingsu clapped her hands and said in agreement.

"Then can you tell Auntie where he went?" For some reason, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but feel happy when she heard the two children scold Song Qingshu.

"He…he heard my Master say that the Millennium Ginseng can revive even dead bones, then he stupidly ran to Changbai Mountain to dig for ginseng." Hu Fei said with a smile.

Cheng Lingsu's eyes lit up, and she spoke in perfect cooperation, "My master said at the time that Millennium Ginseng only exists in the legend, so as to not let him have a false hope. But, after hearing this, he rushed to the northeast overnight."

After discovering Song Qingshu's whereabouts, Zhou Zhiruo was overjoyed, and quickly thanked the two children, stepped on the horse beside her, and hurried to the northeast. She imagined in her heart that after she finds Song Qingshu, he must be tortured to death.

After Zhou Zhiruo had gone far enough, Cheng Lingsu looked back at Hu Fei with a smile but not a smile, "Brother Hu Fei, why did you lie to that woman?"

Little Hu Fei put his hands behind his back, pretending to look like an adult, "She thought we were children and cheated. Although she kept saying that she was Brother Song's wife, the hatred in her heart could not be hidden from my eyes. So, how dare I really tell her Brother Song's whereabouts."

Out of a woman's sympathy, Cheng Lingsu frowned and asked, "What if what she said is true, what if Uncle Song was the one in the wrong, and she just wants revenge?"

Hu Fei chuckled, "Who made Brother Song and my mother be together? If this woman really has malicious thoughts, my mother would be in danger, so I must protect Brother Song. What would I do if a fight breaks out and it hurts my mother? It's better to have one less problem, so I might as well lie to her and lead her to go to the completely opposite northeast, hehe…"

"Brother Hu Fei, you have gone astray." Cheng Lingsu sullenly smiled.

"Uh…didn't I learn it all from you?"

Our poor leader of Emei was fooled by two little kids and was travelling to the snowy land in the northeast.

Chapter 40: The girl in the black dress

Looking back at our Song Qingshu, he had been traveling day and night, and finally arrived at the foot of Mount Hua.

"If I can't get the Nine Swords of Dugu then so be it. Let's first look for the 'Golden Serpent Secret Manual' in Mount Hua. The "Golden Serpent Gentleman" Xia Xueyi is a character I admire very much, he is much more likable than Yuan Chengzhi." Song Qingshu muttered to himself.

But Mount Hua was very vast. Was it really so easy to find the Golden Serpent Cave?

Song Qingshu racked his brains to recall the plot of the original book, but still couldn't remember where the Golden Serpent Cave was located.

"Yuan Chengzhi was studying sword art at Chaoyang Peak in Mount Hua. The Golden Serpent Cave was discovered nearby by his pet orangutan. So according to that, the Golden Serpent Cave should be near Chaoyang Peak." Song Qingshu paced back and forth while arranging his thoughts. "However, after the internal conflict of the Mount Hua Sect, it was divided into two factions, the Sword faction and the Qi faction. The Qi faction was headed by Yue Buqun and he basically took over the sect. After they were exiled, many Sword faction masters gathered at Chaoyang Peak. From the beginning, they also called themselves a part of the Quanzhen School. This Chaoyang Peak became the site of the Mount Hua Sect's Sword faction, and they had many masters. The "Golden Serpent Gentleman" had many issues with them. Thus, It is impossible for the cave to be too close to Chaoyang Peak."

In the next few days, Song Qingshu centered on Chaoyang Peak and began to search outside ten miles away, paying attention to any straight cliffs. He now had powerful internal strength, and with the "Cloud-Ascending Ladder" of Wudang he became even better at jumping up and down. Song Qingshu leapt back and forth between the mountain walls. All that leaping, although thrilling, was also very dangerous.

"Wow haha, I finally found it!" After a few days, a burst of exaggerated laughter echoed in the mountains. Song Qingshu looked at the secret cave in front of him and touched his chin, his expression was quite triumphant, "The Binary search algorithm that our company's software engineer told me is quite efficient. I am also quite talented, and I still remember when he just mentioned it casually."

But when he got into the cave and found an already buried tomb. There was a stone tablet on it, which read "The Tomb of "Golden Serpent Gentleman" Xia Xueyi, Yuan Chengzhi and Xia Qingqing pays their respects", and he couldn't laugh anymore.

I am late again. Song Qingshu sullenly sat on the ground, and didn't even have the thought of looking around. He knew that "Golden Serpent Gentleman" left a highly poisonous fake secret manual, and now Yuan Chengzhi has obviously taken away the real secret manual. Then what was there left for him to find there anymore?

"Sometimes things have to be fated, and follow the flow of fate. Being forceful just doesn't work." Song Qingshu turned around and looked at the tomb of "Golden Serpent Gentleman" reluctantly. He sighed and came to the entrance of the cave. He leaped up and finally stood on the edge of the cliff. He climbed on a big tree, found a sturdy branch to lie down on, rested his hands behind his head, and stared at the white clouds in the blue sky in a daze.

"I am so stupid and naive." Song Qingshu laughed at himself. "These treasured secrets were originally arranged by fate for the original protagonist, but I foolishly wished to compete with the original protagonist for luck. The reality is too cruel, and life is so hard."

At this time Song Qingshu finally understood that the idea of ​​searching for hidden treasures in the world was unrealistic. Although destiny was an illusory thing, you can choose to not believe it, but you also can't attempt to control or challenge it either.

"I hope I won't become a villain destined to be a stepping stone for the protagonist." Song Qingshu felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment, and even felt a little at a loss about the future.

*****

"Yun Zhonghe, even if I have to jump off the cliff, I won't let you succeed." Suddenly an angry woman's voice came from under the tree, even if the voice was full of anger and panic, it was sublime and clear.

Song Qingshu curiously looked down, and saw a curvaceous and slender girl dressed in black, stepping back to the cliff step by step. The wind on the edge of the cliff was so strong that her hair was blowing all around. She…was really pretty.

Opposite of the beauty was a thin middle-aged man in black clothing, holding a rotten silver crane claw, and touching two moustaches at the corners of his mouth with one hand, he looked at the girl with a smile, "Mu Wanqing, are you searching for you dear lover Duan Yu?" He stared at Mu Wanqing's crystal clear eyes. But, sure enough, Yun Zhonghe continued to taunt, "Oh, I almost forgot, your lover Duan has become your brother Duan!"

"You!" After being repeatedly taunted by Yun Zhonghe, Mu Wanqing finally drew her sword and attacked in fury.

Seeing that his treacherous trick had succeeded, a smug smile appeared at the corner of Yun Zhonghe's mouth, and he greeted her with his silver claw. Song Qingshu looked at that lively figure, and noticed that Mu Wanqing's swordsmanship had some foundation, but unfortunately she was still not the opponent of Yun Zhonghe nicknamed "Thoroughly Cruel, Utterly Evil". In addition, Yun Zhonghe was holding back in his moves, and he continued to attack some hidden places of the girl. All this was making her angry to the extreme, and she was being restrained by his every move.Foll𝑜w current novℯls on nov𝒆lb((in).(com)

Song Qingshu finally got to see her face clearly. Her face was beautiful and unblemished, like a crescent moon, like a flower covered with snow. Especially her small and delicate chin, with the slim and delicate cherry lips, her beauty was beyond words.

"Is Duan Yu a fool? Mu Wanqing's appearance is no worse than that of Wang Yuyan!" This was Song Qingshu's first reaction after seeing her appearance.

Then the thought of the fact that he was stained with bad luck ever since reaching the Boundless Jade Cave. Song Qingshu got an idea about how to get back at Duan Yu, and produced a wicked smile on the corner of his lips, "Then I shall tease your lover to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

On the ground, Yun Zhonghe's heart became more and more excited. He realized that Mu Wanqing was about to be captured, and after that he was allowed to do whatever he wanted. And, when he thought that he had never touched such a beautiful woman in his life, his heart suddenly became hot.

"Who is making so much noise? You're disturbing my beauty sleep." Suddenly the sound coming from the tree made the two of them startled. When they looked up, they saw a ragged, messy-haired farmer boy sitting on a branch. He was stretching up his lazy waist, and his sleepy eyes looked like he had just been awakened.

"Smelly boy, go away, don't disturb this uncle's good deed." Yun Zhonghe was terribly annoyed. It turned out that during this period, Song Qingshu had been eating and sleeping on the road, and his clothes had become very dirty and messy. What's more, the weather has been getting a lot hot recently. Song Qingshu was used to air conditioning in his previous life. How could he stand this extreme heat? So, he also unconsciously rolled up his trousers, and now he looked like a young woodcutter from the countryside.

Song Qingshu pretended to stare at Yun Zhonghe in a dazed manner, and exclaimed, "So you are Jin Yong's cousin."

"Who is Jin Yong?" Yun Zhonghe was confused, but he hadn't noticed the existence of other people at all just now, and he was here for a while too! So, he couldn't figure out the identity of this weird boy.

And, he certainly didn't know that Yun Zhonghe was the pen name of Jin Yong's cousin Xu Zhimo. Reminiscing about Xu Zhimo's unfortunate behavior in his previous life, Song Qingshu secretly praised, "Old man Jin has a good hand at writing!"

"Why do you put on a veil in broad daylight? You look weird." Mu Wanqing looked at Song Qingshu's appearance strangely.

"My mother said that I was too ugly, so she covered my face ever since I was a child, and said that the first woman to unveil my veil and see my appearance, I will marry… Oh no, I will have to marry her to be my wife." Song Qingshu smiled stupidly at Mu Wanqing, and stared at her.

"It turns out to be a fool." Yun Zhonghe sighed in secret.

Mu Wanqing saw him staring at her, and angrily said, "What are you looking at!"

"Sister, sister, you are so beautiful. Why don't you come and lift my veil? I will marry you as my wife." Song Qingshu said in a naive voice.
