Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. It would not have been difficult for him to dodge the sword, but he suddenly realized that if he had dodged and left Xue Baochai where she was, she might have been pierced through by the sword.
He had only come here to clear the suspicion of Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying, and had no intention of killing them. When he fought with the secret agent of the Imperial Division, he had only made him lose the ability to fight, not kill.
He had shown mercy to a man he did not know, let alone a beauty like Xue Baochai, who was famous in his previous life.
With a twist of his wrist, the tip of the sword in Xue Baochai's hand was twisted off. Without hesitation, Song Qingshu used the tip of the sword to meet the sword coming from behind him.
In an instant, the two of them exchanged more than ten blows. Despite the danger, Song Qingshu was still able to neutralize the opponent's attacks.
"Huh?" The person who had come was clearly shocked. He did not expect that his opponent would be able to exchange so many blows with him using only a small part of the sword.
By this time, Song Qingshu had clearly seen the person who had come. It was Xue Baochai's cousin, Xue Yiren.
Recognizing him, Song QingShu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He no longer had to deliberately protect Xue Baochai. He reached out and pushed her waist, pushing her toward Xue Yiren like a sandbag. Then, he took advantage of the moment when Xue Yiren went to pick up his sister to use his Qinggong to escape.
"Quick, chase after him!" Xue Baochai could only watch helplessly as the clue in her hand escaped.
"No need. That person's lightness skill is very good. We won't be able to catch up," Xue Yiren said coldly.
"Brother …" Xue Baochai's face was full of self-blame. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been caught by him, he wouldn't have taken the opportunity to escape."
"This person's kung fu is very high. There's no shame in being caught by him," Xue Yiren said with a frown. "A person with such kung fu is definitely not Nameless in Jianghu."
"He should be from the Isle of Heroes." Xue Baochai said hurriedly. She recounted the information she had received and the kung fu that the person had just used.
"Isle of Heroes?" Xue Yi sank into deep thought. 'Although the Isle of Heroes is said to be miraculous by the people of Jianghu, there are probably only three or four people who have reached such a high level of martial arts. Second Island Master Long Mu's age doesn't match. Could it be Zhao Da and Qian Er?'
"The Isle of Heroes rarely gets involved in the Central Plains. Usually, it's Zhang San and Li Si who show up. Zhao Da and Qian Er only exist according to rumors. No one has actually seen them. Even our Imperial City Department doesn't have any information on them," Xue Baochai said with a frown.
"That was only because we didn't have the authority to investigate it in the past. Now that it involves the Crown Princess and the extermination of the imperial court's officials, we can use more authority from the Imperial City Department. How can a mere Isle of Heroes fight against the power of the imperial court?" Xue Yi sheathed his sword with a cold expression.
The brother and sister discussed the case as they walked back. When they returned to the stronghold, they discovered that the Lu family had come with the Mountain Yin City Guard. They were clearly here to protect Lu Wushuang.
By now, Xue Baochai knew that the murderer was someone else. Adding on the pressure from the Mountain Yin officials, she had no choice but to release Lu Wushuang.
The Lu family brought Lu Wushuang back to the mansion. Everyone in the mansion came to greet her. Lu Wushuang finally managed to send them away. She returned to her room and nervously searched around.
"Brother Song, Brother Song?" Lu Wushuang called out in a small voice as she searched.
But after calling for a long time, there was no response. Lu Wushuang couldn't help but sit in front of the window in disappointment. "Ah, a sad soul, farewell."
At this time, a masked person suddenly crawled to the window. Lu Wushuang was about to scream in fright when she heard a familiar voice. "Wushuang, why are you sad?"
"Brother Song?" Lu Wushuang looked at the other in disbelief.
Song Qingshu took off his mask and smiled warmly.
Lu Wushuang excitedly jumped into his arms. After a while, she suddenly realized something and raised her head to look at her. "Why are you dressed like this?"
Song QingShu smiled bitterly and said, "It's all because of you …" Then he roughly explained what had just happened. As a precaution, after he escaped from the Xue siblings, he did not immediately return. Instead, he purposely ran out of the city. On the way, he purposely alerted the guards. After he shook off the pursuers outside the city, he silently rushed back. This was to give the Imperial City Department a false impression that he had already left the city and completely cut off all relations with Lu Wushuang.
It was because he had gone in a big circle that he rushed back now. Otherwise, with his lightness kung fu, he would have returned long ago.
"No wonder the Imperial City Guard released me so easily." After understanding everything, Lu Wushuang was both impressed and moved. "I knew Brother Song would have a way."
Song Qingshu was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. "Someone is coming." Then he flashed behind a screen.
Very quickly, there was a knock on the door. "Seventh Miss, Seventh Miss ~"
Hearing it was a servant girl's voice, Lu Wushuang said unhappily, "What is it?" It wasn't easy for Song Qingshu to come. It was rare for the two of them to be disturbed. She naturally wasn't in a good mood.
"We've brought hot water and new clothes for you to bathe in," the servant girl outside answered.
Lu Wushuang's face was gloomy. "No need, leave."
The servant girl outside said awkwardly, "This is Old Furen's idea. Old Furen said that you went to a place like the Imperial City Guard and your body was contaminated with something inauspicious. You have to use hot water made with grapefruit leaves to wash away the bad luck. Then, you have to change your clothes and burn them."
Lu Wushuang opened her mouth and finally answered helplessly, "Come in." In the Lu Family, Old Furen's words were final. Adding on that she had always been good to her, she couldn't refuse.
With her permission, a group of maids and old women filed in. Each of them was either carrying hot water, clothes, or grapefruit leaves and flower petals in their hands. Soon, a steaming hot bathtub was set up in the room.
"Miss, please change your clothes ~" After everything was set up, the servant girl came in front of Lu Wushuang.
Lu Wushuang's face turned red. There was a man in the room ~ Even though the two of them had already had physical contact, to be honest, there was still some distance between them. She felt a little uncomfortable.
Just as she was in a dilemma, she suddenly heard Song Qingshu's voice in her ear. "Let them leave."
Lu Wushuang originally had this intention, so she said to the group of servant girls, "Too many things have happened today. I want to be alone for a while. Leave your things here and leave."
The group of people looked at each other and finally agreed. After all, Lu Wushuang was the most favored miss in the mansion. In addition, she had been wronged today, so no one would be so inconsiderate as to offend her.
"Yes!" The servant girls all bowed. "But I hope Miss can change your clothes first. We will burn them according to Old Furen's instructions."
Lu Wushuang was helpless. Since she was already Brother Song's woman, she hesitated for a moment and finally took off her clothes with the help of a group of servants.
However, she still had the shyness of a young girl. As soon as she took off her clothes, she dived into the bathtub, hoping to use the water and flower petals to cover her naked body.
Soon, the group of servant girls left. Lu Wushuang bit her lips and grabbed the edge of the bathtub to look at the screen. "Brother Song, are you still here?"
Song Qingshu flashed out from behind the screen and said with a smile, "With you here, how can I bear to leave?"
Lu Wushuang's face turned red and her body shrank back into the water. "Brother Song, wait a moment. I will be done in a moment."
Song Qingshu walked directly to the bathtub. "No rush, it is more interesting to take your time."
"Ah?" Lu Wushuang was startled and looked at him in a daze.
Song Qingshu leaned on the edge of the bathtub and said with a smile, "You don't mind if I bathe with you, right?"
Lu Wushuang cried out in surprise. Her face instantly turned red. "How … how can I do that?"
"Why not?" Song Qingshu smiled. He quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the water. As Lu Wushuang cried out in surprise, he pulled her into his arms.
"If you continue to scream like this, you might call back the servant girls." Song Qingshu hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear.
His words were more effective than anything else. Lu Wushuang was so scared that she immediately shut her mouth.
Song Qingshu revealed a smile of success. "Wushuang, since I am here, let me help you wash away the bad luck."
Lu Wushuang's face became hot and she muttered in a small voice, "I feel like you are up to no good."
Song QingShu smiled and didn't argue with her about the verbal advantage. Seeing that she didn't object, he directly took action. He cupped the water and gently poured it over her body. His hand slowly slid over her skin. Both of them trembled at the same time.
"A young girl's skin is really soft and smooth." Song Qingshu secretly praised. For a moment, he could not tell if he liked this kind of young girl or those gentle and charming older sisters.
"They both have their own good points. It is really hard to choose." Song Qingshu thought for a while and decided not to worry about it. This was a dangerous and chaotic world. If he was not careful, he would become a corpse on the side of the road. But at the same time, it was a world full of opportunities. There were some things that he did not even dare to think about in his previous world.
In the end, Lu Wushuang's skin was stained with a layer of pink and her breathing became rapid. Not to mention her, even the experienced Song Qingshu's mouth was dry and his body was extremely hot.
Previously on Peach Blossom Island, he had some skin contact with Huang Rong. But because of his moral obsession, he had to be a gentleman. There was already an evil fire in his body. Especially after eating a lot of oysters the night before, when he was slightly stimulated by Lu Wushuang's body, his whole body was already unbearably hot.
Feeling the change in his body, Lu Wushuang was no longer a young girl who did not know the world. How could she not know what was going to happen? She bit her lips and leaned forward. She picked up a silk handkerchief and handed it to Song Qingshu.
"What are you doing?" Song Qingshu was startled and did not understand for a moment.
Lu Wushuang lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Use this to stuff my mouth, in case … in case I can't control myself and make a sound …" She didn't even finish her sentence before she was overwhelmed with embarrassment.
What happened with Song Qingshu in the stream left a deep impression on Lu Wushuang. She wanted to scream but was afraid of being discovered by the two people on the shore. She could only bitterly endure it. That kind of torture left a lingering fear in her heart and she did not want to endure it a second time.
