Although Li Qinglu quickly covered it up, how could that momentary reaction be hidden from Song Qingshu who had been observing the situation in the room?
"Li Qinglu is in charge of the First Class Hall of Xixia, and her martial arts is one of the best of the younger generation. What could make her lose her composure like that?" Song Qingshu said thoughtfully, "A precious sword that can cut through iron like mud …"
"You guys can't even beat a woman, and you still have the face to blame the weapon?" Yelu Yixin said with a look of exasperation. "Get out!"
Li Qinglu advised at the right time, "Prince Wei, you don't have to blame your son. There are many capable people in Jianghu, and they have weapons. You can't blame him for being at a disadvantage."
Hearing her speak up for him, Yelu Sui immediately cast a grateful look at her, thinking that this Princess of Xixia was not only beautiful, but also considerate.
"Well, for the sake of Princess Yinchuan, I'll spare you this time. Get out of here, don't delay us from talking business." Yelu Yixin glared at his son.
Yelu Sui had no choice but to walk out resentfully. When he came out, he kept muttering, "Recently, father has become more and more strict. Is it because he can't stand up for me in front of outsiders?"
At this time, Li Qinglu, who was in the room, secretly gave a look. One of her subordinates understood and quietly followed her out. None of this escaped Song QingShu's eyes. He hesitated for a moment. Seeing that he couldn't hear any valuable information here, he quietly followed.
He saw that the Xixia man quietly caught up with Yelu Sui and indirectly asked about the woman he had met before. Because Li Qinglu had helped him just now, Yelu Sui also had a good impression of the Xixia man. Soon, his emotions were aroused, and he described what had happened before in more detail.
Song Qingshu secretly frowned, wondering why Li Qinglu was so concerned about this matter. Could it be that she wanted to stand up for Yelu Sui and use this to please Yelu Yixin? But he quickly denied this speculation. After all, she was a dignified princess of a country, and it would be too low of a status to help a playboy bully others to please others.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a noise came from the hall. Song Qingshu hurriedly dodged to the side. It turned out that the Xixia people had come out. In order to show their friendship, Yelu Yixin even sent them to the door.
Song Qingshu hesitated for a while and finally decided to quietly follow Li Qinglu and the others to see what she was up to. After all, everything that happened before was a little abnormal.
At this time, on the outskirts of Shangjing, a beautiful young woman wearing an aqua blue fur coat suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Your Excellency has followed me for so long, shouldn't you show yourself?" Her voice was crisp and soft. It was obvious that she was a very gentle woman.
"Little girl, your martial arts are really good. You can actually discover my whereabouts." After a burst of laughter, a black-clothed man jumped down from a nearby tree. Although it was daytime, he was still covered with a black cloth. However, from the white hair that could be seen, it could be seen that he was no longer young.
The young woman's beautiful face flashed a trace of red. How old was her child? Why did he call her little girl? But she also understood that this black-clothed man was probably not young, so calling her little girl was not wrong. "May I know why Senior is following me all the way?"
The black-clothed man smiled. "Nothing else. I just want to borrow the sword that Madam is carrying to have a look." As he said this, he pointed to the sword on her back.
The young woman's expression changed slightly. She replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "This is a relic of my late husband. It is not convenient to share it with others. Please forgive me, Senior." How could she not see that the other party came for this sword? As for borrowing the sword to have a look, it was just a formality.
"That's a pity …" The black-clothed man sighed. Before he finished speaking, his figure moved. His whole body was like a black roc, blotting out the sky and covering the earth as he pounced on the young woman.
The young woman was clearly on guard. With a flick of her wrist, a silver bell and golden chain shot towards the black-clothed man from an inconceivable angle. The black-clothed man's heart trembled and he could only change direction midway to avoid the attack.
The young woman didn't stop. The silver bell and golden chain in her hand moved like a flood dragon in the clouds. The black-clothed man cried out in alarm, "Little girl, your martial arts have actually reached such a level. It is truly amazing."
The young woman didn't feel the slightest bit happy. She had already pushed the chain to its limit, but it was still unable to do anything to the black-clothed man. It was clear that the black-clothed man's martial arts were far superior to hers.
Sure enough, during this time, the black-robed man had already figured out her attack patterns. His figure suddenly flickered, causing the young woman's attacks to hit nothing but air. In just a few breaths of time, he was already within three feet of her.
At such a close distance, the chain was useless. The young woman didn't panic and directly pulled out the long saber on her back. The edge of the saber was only half a foot away, but a cold azure light shot out. When the saber was unsheathed, the cold light flickered. Even with the black-clothed man's martial arts, he didn't dare to face it head on. With a strange cry, he retreated ten feet away.
Seeing the cold light on the saber, the black-clothed man sighed in praise, "It really is a legendary saber."
The young woman frowned. Although her late husband's saber was a rare and good saber, its reputation in Jianghu was far inferior to the Dragon Saber. She didn't know why this man was so interested in this saber.
The black-clothed man wasn't in a hurry to attack. Instead, he asked, "Little girl, have you heard of the story of treasuring a jade ring one in trouble?"
"Of course I have." The young woman lightly snorted. At the same time, she was on guard. The black-clothed man in front of her was extremely skilled. If it was her in the past, she would have long since been no match for him. It was only thanks to the supreme technique that she was able to endure for so long. A charming blush suddenly appeared on the young woman's beautiful face as she recalled the process of cultivating this divine art.
Even though the black-clothed man was quite old, he couldn't help but be a bit absent-minded, "Truly a peerless beauty."
However, he was still a seasoned veteran. He quickly remembered the purpose of his trip and said, "This saber isn't something you can have. Forcefully keeping it will only bring you disaster."
The young woman sneered, "I can't have it, but you can?"
The black-clothed man stood with his hands clasped behind his back, proudly saying, "This old man naturally has the ability to protect this saber."
The young woman angrily said, "How can I give my late husband's relic to others? If you have the ability, then come and take it yourself!"
The black-clothed man's eyes turned cold, "Then this old man will have to offend you." He attacked again. His speed and palm wind were twice as fast as before. At first, the young woman was able to rely on the saber in her hand to barely hold on. However, after twenty moves, her attacks began to slow down, as if she would be hit at any moment.
After a few more moves, the black-clothed man finally found an opening and pressed his palm on the saber. The young woman felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her entire body fell to the ground.
This time, the black-clothed man didn't give her a chance to catch her breath. He directly attacked in an attempt to snatch the saber away. At this time, the blood in the young woman's body was surging, and it would take at least three breaths for her to recover her combat strength. How could she resist at this point?
Just as the black-clothed man was about to succeed, a shout suddenly came from not far away. The black-clothed man saw a golden object shooting toward him from the corner of his eyes.
He didn't dare to be careless and could only give up on attacking. He flipped over and snatched the saber away. Looking at the golden dart stuck in a nearby tree, his expression changed for a moment, "Golden Snake Drill!"
"Sister Icy Snow, are you alright?" At this moment, a girl with delicate eyebrows and eyes like a phoenix went over to support the young woman. Although she also had her hair combed into a young woman's bun, her skin was fair and rosy, even fairer than a young girl's — tender and pink.
"Qingqing, it's you?" The young woman was surprised and overjoyed. She had already adjusted the vital energy in her body, but what made her even happier was that she met an acquaintance.
It turned out that this young woman was Hu Yidao's widow, Icy Snow. After she parted ways with Song Qingshu, she had been secretly looking for clues about her husband's murderer, Murong Jingyue. Gradually, she came to Shangjing City. Who knew that she would run into a playboy as soon as she entered the city. After teaching him a lesson, she recalled that the servants claimed that he was Prince Wei's son and knew that Yelu Yixin was extremely powerful. To avoid trouble, she planned to leave the city and lie low. Who knew that not long after she left the city, she would be pestered by this mysterious black-clothed man.
As for the other woman with rosy skin, she was naturally Xia Qingqing. Initially, she wanted to take revenge on Dongfang Muxue for hugging Yuan Chengzhi. However, she learned from Dongfang Muxue that Yuan Chengzhi might not be dead. Surprised and overjoyed, she returned to Yanjing City with Dongfang Muxue. While helping Dongfang Muxue with political affairs, she began to investigate Yuan Chengzhi. In the end, she found out that someone had seen someone similar to Yuan Chengzhi in Shangjing City.
Thus, she set off for this place. Along the way, she was thinking about what Dongfang Muxue said to her. So what if she found Yuan Chengzhi? Could she go back to the past and start all over again with him?
Xia Qingqing was also very confused. Countless nights, she asked herself, if Yuan Chengzhi was still alive, who would she choose between him and Song Qingshu? Although her rationality told her that it would be Madam Yuan, she realized that Song Qingshu had completely occupied her heart, even though he was a philanderer and had a glib tongue …
"I'm really a bad woman …" Even though she had made up her mind, she still decided to make a trip to Shangjing City to confirm Yuan Chengzhi's whereabouts and completely end her past. Just as she was worrying about her gains and losses, she suddenly heard the sound of fighting not far away. She ran over and saw that one of them was Icy Snow. When she first got together with Song Qingshu, both of them had met. Although she knew that she was Hu Yidao's widow, she also knew about the relationship between her and Song Qingshu.
It was precisely because both of them were widows that they sympathized with each other. Although both of them were now considered love rivals to a certain extent, they didn't have any intention of fighting over a man's affection. Instead, they treated each other as bosom friends.
Seeing that Icy Snow was in danger, how could Xia Qingqing just stand by and watch? She immediately shot out a few Golden Snake Awls to save her.
"Golden Snake Sword!" Seeing the shining golden sword in Xia Qingqing's hand, the man in black instantly hesitated. He wasn't afraid of the newcomer Xia Qingqing. Although her martial arts weren't weak, both of them were no match for him. What he was afraid of was the man behind Xia Qingqing — the Golden Snake King, Song Qingshu.
Although Song Qingshu and Xia Qingqing had never made their relationship public, everyone was not blind and had more or less guessed it. There were always some rumors. However, because Song Qingshu's performance in recent years was too strong, no one felt that there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, they felt that it was natural for Xia Qingqing to be with him. After all, a beauty matched with a hero.
"Since you recognize it's the Golden Snake Sword, do you still want to continue fighting?" Xia Qingqing was also afraid of this man's martial arts. She was afraid that he would be forced into a life-and-death struggle.
