Linghu Chong pressed the tip of his sword against Song Qingshu's throat and sneered, "Song, did you ever think that you would end up like this?"
Ding Dian, Xin Qiji, and the others stayed in Yangzhou City to bring up the rear and escort Song Qingshu out of the city. However, they didn't know that Quan Zhou's General Wu Tiande was actually Linghu Chong, and that Song Qingshu was previously married to Sun Moon Sect's Miss Ren. It could be said that the two hated each other for stealing their wives.
"Indeed, I didn't expect this." Song QingShu sighed. He'd really been too careless, and had fallen for Moqi Ke's trick just now. Actually, with his current cultivation, he was practically immune to most toxic poisons, but the Goldwave Xunhua was too overbearing, and the key was that it was impossible to guard against it, which was why he'd failed miserably in an easy task.
"I was too arrogant before, if I'm lucky enough to survive this, I must find a way to guard against those legendary poisons, such as the colorless and odorless Seven Heart Cherry-Apple. If the enemy uses it against me, it will be even more difficult to guard against." Song Qingshu secretly made up his mind, but looking at Linghu Chong in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh involuntarily. If he couldn't survive now, what was the point of talking about the future?
"Do you have any last words before you die?" Linghu Chong couldn't help but admire him for being able to laugh even in the face of death.
"To die in the hands of Brother Linghu is naturally better than to die in the hands of those thieves." Song Qingshu replied indifferently.
Linghu Chong was shocked, "You recognize me?"
"Brother Linghu is so different, even if you changed your appearance, you can't hide your elegance. Of course, Song Mou recognizes you." Song Qingshu smiled calmly.
Linghu Chong couldn't help but snort coldly, "It's no use trying to get close to me now, I will definitely kill you today."
Song Qingshu originally wanted to shrug his shoulders, but unfortunately, the Golden Rippling Flower's poison made his whole body a little numb, even this simple movement was a little difficult, "Brother Linghu, if you want to kill me, at least give me a reason so that I can die knowing."
"Reason?" Linghu Chong's face turned green. "You snatched away my love and used despicable means to forcibly occupy Yingying. Is this reason enough?"
"I wouldn't dare to snatch someone's love away, and I wouldn't call it despicable." Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "This marriage alliance was proposed by Cult Master Ren. For the future of the Golden Snake Battalion, I can't possibly reject it, right? Brother Linghu, if you really want to blame someone, you should look for Ren Woxing. He was the one who made some promises to you, and he was the one who went back on his word. "
Hearing his words, Linghu Chong's expression immediately changed. Song Qingshu continued, "Brother Linghu, ask yourself honestly, is the one you love the most in your heart really Yingying?"
"Of course … yes." Linghu Chong blurted out subconsciously, but he suddenly hesitated because at that moment, the image of him and Yue Lingshan practicing the Spiritual Surge Sword Technique together suddenly popped up in his mind.
Song Qingshu laughed and said, "See, you don't have much confidence when you say it yourself. Follow your heart and find your Little Shimei. "
Linghu Chong was immediately silent. After a long time, he said, "Little Shimei likes Junior Brother Lin. Why should I trouble myself?"
"In this aspect, I am much more experienced than you." Song Qingshu pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for him to sit down. Linghu Chong hesitated for a while, but finally sat next to him.
Song Qingshu then continued, "More than a thousand years ago, the Saint of Love, Xiang Shaolong, had a famous saying: A girl's heart is the easiest thing in the world to change …"
Linghu Chong asked doubtfully, "Who is Xiang Shaolong?"
"A man with very strong kidney function." Song Qingshu's face had a faint smile on it, and he couldn't help but think of his past life when he was young and watching "Looking for Qin" until his ears turned red. "Brother Linghu should have experienced it yourself. Obviously, at the beginning, Miss Yue's heart was clearly with you. In the eyes of your martial brothers and even your Master and Mistress, you were a pair. Who knew that after Lin Pingzhi appeared, everything would change."
Linghu Chong sighed and said, "Little Junior Sister has always regarded me as her elder brother. Since she was young, she has always worshipped Master … Sect Leader Yue, so she likes those dignified, serious, and taciturn men. How could she like a frivolous, unrestrained drunkard like me?"
"Brother Linghu, you are wrong. You think that Miss Yue likes Lin Pingzhi because of your frivolous words, but in my opinion, that is not the most important thing." Song Qingshu replied.
Linghu Chong's eyebrows twitched, "What do you mean?"
Song Qingshu slowly explained, "Women need companionship. Only by spending time with each other can true love develop. You stayed on the Repent Cliff for a year, then wandered the Jianghu. During this time, Lin Pingzhi was by Miss Yue's side. Women are emotional creatures. Even if it's a cat or a dog, as long as it's by her side, she will develop feelings for it, let alone a human. "
"How do you even know such details about us?" Linghu Chong looked at him suspiciously, then shook his head, "What you said seems reasonable, but in reality, it's not. Ever since we were young, Little Shimei and I grew up together. Haven't we spent enough time together? "
"This is the second point where you did not do well," Song Qingshu said unhurriedly, "If Miss Yue invited you to build a snowman with her, how would you answer her?"
Linghu Chong didn't even think before he blurted out, "I would say 'as good-looking as you are', or 'to build a snowman as good-looking as you is difficult'." As he spoke, he seemed to recall the time when he played with his Little Shimei, and a trace of gentleness appeared on his face.
Song Qingshu shook his head, "This is the key reason why you lost to Lin Pingzhi. If it was him, he would definitely say 'business is more important'."
Linghu Chong frowned and asked in confusion, "Won't Little Shimei be angry?"
"You don't understand a woman's mind," Song Qingshu sighed, "You care too much about Miss Yue. As long as Miss Yue asks, even if you have something important to do, you will put it to the back of your mind. However, blindly accommodating will only make a woman accustomed to it. Only by rejecting her appropriately will she worry about her gains and losses, and yearn for you even in her dreams. "
Linghu Chong's eyes flashed, he was clearly moved by his words.
Song Qingshu smiled. In fact, there was another reason that he didn't mention. Although in the eyes of the readers, Yue Lingshan was an unruly, willful, and unreasonable little girl, she was actually a very sensible woman. She could distinguish between serious business and playful.
In comparison, she was more responsible for the Huashan Sect than Linghu Chong. In the original novel, it was mentioned countless times that she was dissatisfied with Linghu Chong's lack of proper work. However, in the beginning, Linghu Chong was outstanding enough, so she could barely tolerate his shortcomings. Later on, Linghu Chong's actions became more and more beyond her understanding. Coupled with the addition of Lin Pingzhi, who was equally outstanding and diligent, she eventually "fell in love with someone else".
However, Song Qingshu knew that Linghu Chong wouldn't be able to change this reason even if he said it. Linghu Chong yearned for a free and unrestrained life. At this delicate moment, it was better not to use this to provoke him.
"You've said so much to me, just to beg me not to kill you?" Linghu Chong finally spoke.
Song Qingshu smiled, "It's not that I'm begging you not to kill me, but I'm certain that you won't kill me."

Previously, I didn't know that the Android app's comments were not connected to the PC version. Only yesterday did I find out that many readers were scolding me for splitting the previous chapter into two chapters. They were purely tricking the readers.
I need to explain this.
Because of my own writing habits and the previous editor's request to cater to the wireless version, most of the chapters in this book are more than 2000 words per chapter.
A small portion of the chapters are 3000 words. These 3000 word chapters are usually only 3000 words per day when I only have one chapter per day.
This is because the website's full attendance reward has a minimum daily word count. 3000 words per day is equivalent to 300 full attendance, and 5000 words per day is equivalent to 500 full attendance.
So, when I only have one chapter per day, in order to meet this minimum word count, I will write a chapter of 2000 words to 3000 words.
And when I normally update a chapter, it will be more than 2000 words per chapter. So, this caused many readers to misunderstand. They thought that I was playing tricks and splitting the previous chapter into two to trick everyone. Then, many people scolded me.
