The noise was still some distance away from the prison. Song Qingshu could only vaguely hear it. Lu Guanying had no idea what was going on.
"The White Lotus Society?" Song Qingshu's heart trembled. He didn't know why the White Lotus Society would come looking for trouble with the Mongolians. Could it be that they mistakenly thought that the people in the Clear Jade Monastery were the Southern Song Dynasty's ambassadors?
The more Song Qingshu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. After Wang Baobao took control of the Clear Jade Monastery, he immediately blocked the news from spreading. At the same time, he made it seem as if nothing had happened. It was not surprising that the White Lotus Society didn't know about the changes.
"I wonder if Zhiruo is here." Thinking about the experts under Wang Baobao, Song Qingshu couldn't help but worry.
While Song Qingshu was deep in thought, Lu Guanying stared at the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and trembled. How could he not recognize the handkerchief that his wife had specially embroidered for him?
This was like a token of love. His wife had always carried it with her. Now, it was in the hands of the man in front of him. It was obvious what had happened between them.
"Why is this thing with you?" Although Lu Guanying had guessed most of it, he still held onto a glimmer of hope that he would get a different answer from the other person.
"Huh?" Noticing the other person's intense reaction, Song Qingshu looked down and hurriedly put the embroidered handkerchief back into his pocket. He took out another one and said, "Sorry, I took the wrong one."
The embroidered handkerchief was Miss Cheng's personal item. He couldn't bear to take it out and let others write on it.
"You!" Lu Guanying almost vomited blood at his actions.
Only now did Song QingShu realize that the man in front of him was Cheng Yaojia's husband. He could not help but awkwardly smile, "Don't misunderstand. I stole this brocade handkerchief from Cheng Yaojia. She did not give it to me."
His original intention was to explain for Miss Cheng. After all, he had countless ways to obtain her. He didn't care about using petty tricks. However, these words had a different meaning in Lu Guanying's ears. The other person thought that his relationship with his wife was so intimate that he actually took the initiative to exonerate his wife.
"That bitch!" Lu Guanying was burning with jealousy, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Song Qingshu shrugged his shoulders. He had already explained what he wanted to explain. As long as he had a clear conscience, there was no need to say anything else. Who asked Lu Guanying to not believe his own wife?
"Hey, do you still want to write? I don't have much time to waste. " Under normal circumstances, Song Qingshu would not have minded toying with Lu Guanying. However, he was worried that Zhou Zhiruo had participated in the White Lotus Society's operation. He was even more worried that she would be in danger. How could he be in the mood to talk nonsense with Lu Guanying?
"Alright, I'll write it!" Lu Guanying's tone suddenly became incomparably calm. He took the pen that Song Qingshu handed over and quickly filled the entire handkerchief.
"Divorce letter?" After reading the contents of the handkerchief, Song Qingshu frowned. "Do you know how much Cheng Yaojia sacrificed to save you?"
Lu Guanying could not help but imagine the scene of his wife selling her body. His face could not help but twitch as he roared, "Who needs her to save me!" Rather than damaging the Lu family's reputation and causing him to be mocked by the world in the future, it was better to strike first and take the initiative to expel her from the family. This way, he would be able to barely save his face.
Song Qingshu had lived two lives and was already very clear about the ways of the world. After hesitating for a moment, he roughly guessed what the other person was thinking. He could not help but sigh. "A man's pitiful self-esteem …"
"What did you say?" Lu Guanying was like a wounded beast as he stared fixedly at him.
"Nothing." Song Qingshu did not choose to continue to provoke him. In his heart, he even somewhat understood him. If they were in each other's shoes, presumably his performance would not be any better than his. Jealousy and other negative emotions were originally weaknesses in human nature that could not be restrained. Who in this world could truly think rationally every time?
Before leaving, Song Qingshu suddenly turned his head back. "That's right, although you do not appreciate my kindness, I do not want to see Cheng Yaojia sad in the future. I still have to remind you that the best way to deal with the enemy's interrogation is not to grit your teeth and not speak, but to deliberately mislead them. Remember this sentence, lest you are killed by the Mongolians before I can save you."
After saying that, without waiting for his reply, Song Qingshu disappeared outside the door and went all the way to the front yard, wanting to see if he would run into Zhou Zhiruo.
However, Song Qingshu was soon disappointed. The entire Pure Jade Monastery was filled with corpses, but unfortunately, there was no trace of Zhou Zhiruo.
Song Qingshu could not help but feel dispirited. Just as he was about to leave and let the Mongolians and the White Lotus Society fight each other, he suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes. He could not help but exclaim in surprise and hastily stopped in his tracks.
The White Lotus Society had clearly underestimated the strength of the Pure Jade Monastery's guards. After a round of contact, they immediately suffered a great loss. Because Song Qingshu had been delayed by Lu Guanying for a while, the situation on the battlefield was already very clear.
The Ruyang Household had many experts, and they also had the geographical advantage. Coupled with the White Lotus Society's misinformation, the White Lotus Society's defeat was already set in stone. Only a few of their elites were still struggling to hold on.
Of course, the White Lotus Society had sent out all their elites this time, and the Ruyang Household had similarly suffered heavy losses.
Originally, Song Qingshu could not be bothered to pay attention to the fight between the two sides. However, the woman that Daoist Baisang, the Guardian Deity, and the Xuanming Elders were attacking was the mysterious woman from the bamboo forest.
Both Daoist Baisang and the Guardian Deity were super experts in the pugilistic world. Although the Xuanming Elders were slightly weaker, they were not inferior to the two when they joined forces. Although the mysterious woman's martial arts were high, she was not Song Qingshu after all. In just a short while, she had already been in danger several times. It was obvious that she had suffered serious internal injuries. If it were not for the ingenuity of her Rippling Waves Technique, she would probably have been defeated and killed long ago.
Although she could barely hold on with the help of her qinggong, once the other experts of the Ruyang Household finished off the White Lotus disciples and surrounded her, she would not be able to use her qinggong no matter how good she was.
'What's her relationship with the White Lotus Society?' Song Qingshu had originally thought that she was from the Carefree Sect, but now it seemed that she was not.
His doubts were resolved very soon. He saw a man and a woman cut down the foreign monk in front of them and immediately run over to block Daoist Baisang and the Guardian Deity. At the same time, they called out to the woman, "Holy mother, go!"
"The White Lotus Mother!" Song Qingshu was quite surprised. The White Lotus cult had always been extremely mysterious in the pugilistic world. Countless people were curious about who their leader was, but unfortunately, no one in the pugilistic world had ever seen her before. They only knew that the leader of the White Lotus cult was a woman known as the White Lotus Mother.
"Will I be the first person in the pugilistic world to see the White Lotus Mother's true appearance?" The corner of Song Qingshu's lips curled up slightly. He suddenly became rather complacent.
