Ren Yingying blushed and spat, "What nonsense are you talking about? A monk and a nun aren't a couple."
"Who says we're not a couple? If you become a nun, I'll become a monk," Song Qingshu hugged Ren Yingying in his arms and said shamelessly.
Ren Yingying's face became even more beautiful. She pursed her lips and said with a smile, "If you want to be a monk, you can do it yourself. I don't want to be a nun."
The two of them flirted with each other on the deck. After an unknown amount of time, a teasing voice suddenly came from behind them, "Two immortal couples, you really make others envious."
Ren Yingying's skin was already tender. At this moment, she was like a startled rabbit when someone bumped into her. She pushed her lover away and pretended to look at the river in the distance. However, the slight rise and fall of her chest showed that she was not so calm at the moment.
Song QingShu turned his head and saw Ruan Xingzhu standing there with a sweet smile on her face. The wind from the river fluttered her dress, accentuating her alluring figure. She smiled before she said anything. She was still as charming as ever.
However, Song Qingshu was still keenly aware of the faint exhaustion between her brows. "Madam, you came back so early. Has everything been arranged properly?"
Ruan Xingzhu knew what he was asking and shook her head. "Things have changed. Yang Juyuan, Murong Fu, and the others have become the great heroes who killed the traitor and pacified the rebellion. The power of the entire Sichuan is divided and controlled by them. Now that they are in the limelight and have the right to speak, it's not a good time for me to jump out and expose him for killing my brother. Moreover, ordinary people won't believe that the new hero is a traitor."
Song Qingshu nodded. "That's right. If you expose his true colors now, he will most likely bite back."
"So I can only hide first and slowly collect all the useful evidence. At the critical moment, I'll ruin his reputation," Ruan Xingzhu bit her lips and said hatefully.
"This is a smart choice." Song Qingshu agreed with her. "Wait, you mentioned that they became the great heroes who killed the traitor and pacified the rebellion. What happened?"
Ruan Xingzhu explained, "In the latter half of last night, Murong Fu announced to the world that they were sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion. The traitor Wu Xi has already been executed."
"As expected." Song Qingshu nodded. "Murong Fu is smart this time. He made everything real. Even if the Southern Song court doesn't want to, they have to admit his identity. In addition, he announced Wu Xi's death. Even if he appears alive again, the other party can say that he is Linghu Chong in disguise."
"It's very windy here. Why don't the two of you come to my room and have a seat?" Ruan Xingzhu invited.
Song Qingshu knew that she had something to say, so he didn't refuse. Ren Yingying was hesitant to leave first, but her lover held her hand tightly. She felt warm in her heart and followed him.
After entering the room, Ruan Xingzhu personally poured tea for them. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the two holding hands and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "You two are really a couple."
Ren Yingying blushed and quickly withdrew her hand.
"I'm afraid it's very difficult to find a man in this world who loves his wife so much." Ruan Xingzhu wasn't trying to flatter him. It had to be known that even in Song Qingshu's previous life, when he was in a relationship in the 70s and 80s, the couple might not even walk side by side, let alone hold hands. They would often walk one in front of the other, for fear of gossip.
This world had a lot of etiquette, and it was even stricter in this aspect. It had to be known that the behavior just now was considered immoral in the mainstream values, so very few men would publicly display their affection. However, women were emotional. They enjoyed their lover's love very much, and coupled with this harsh environment, they cherished this kind of behavior even more.
However, Song Qingshu thought it was very normal. He smiled and said, "I don't deserve this title. There are still many good men in this world."
"Is that so …" Ruan Xingzhu didn't argue. She couldn't help but think of her husband who had just been killed. Even though the two of them didn't have a very deep relationship, she still felt an irrepressible sadness.
Ren Yingying saw her sadness and couldn't help but comfort her. "The dead are gone. My condolences, my lady." Because she had been imprisoned before, she still had a lot of resentment towards Ruan Xingzhu. However, after knowing what had happened to her family, as a woman, she empathized with Ruan Xingzhu, so her previous resentment gradually disappeared.
"Thank you, Lady Ren." Ruan Xingzhu smiled gratefully. She tucked her hair behind her ears and took the opportunity to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes. She quickly composed herself and asked, "Is Wu Xi really dead?" After all, Wu Xi had been promoted by Han Xingzhou. This time, she had come to Shu for Wu Xi. However, because of what had happened in her family yesterday, she had made a series of mistakes.
"I saved him. He's not dead, but he's seriously injured. However, in this situation, his identity is also dead …" Song Qingshu roughly told her what had happened in the Shu King's Mansion last night.
"Jia Shidao is really behind all this!" Ruan Xingzhu gritted her teeth. She belonged to Han Xingzhou's camp and had always been hostile to Jia Shidao. Now that she heard that he was the culprit who had put her lord in such a difficult situation, how could she not be angry?
Song Qingshu said with a faint smile, "Lady Ren thought that I was the one who had caused what happened in Sichuan."
Ruan Xingzhu thought that she had suspected Song Qingshu at first and had tried everything to get close to him in order to spy on him. However, it turned out that he had nothing to do with it. Instead, they had accidentally … She had suffered a double loss.
Thinking of that time, Ruan Xingzhu's heart skipped a beat. In order to hide her current expression, she hurriedly apologized to the two of them. "Previously, I used my narrow-mindedness to measure the heart of a gentleman. I have offended you, especially Lady Ren. I hereby apologize to you."
Ren Yingying hurriedly helped her up. "Lady Ren, please get up. It's normal for us to use some tricks for our masters. If we were in each other's shoes, I would probably do the same thing."
Ruan Xingzhu sighed and said, "I've long heard that the Sun Moon Church has always used high-handed policies to control their subordinates. Hundreds of thousands of members of the Sun Moon Church are afraid of the higher-ups of the Blackwood Cliff, except for one person, who respects and loves the Saintess. Now I finally understand how those people feel."
The two women quickly began to flatter each other. After a while, Ren Yingying noticed that Ruan Xingzhu was holding back a yawn, so she stood up and said, "Lady Ren, there has been a sudden change in your family, and you haven't slept for the whole night. We won't disturb you anymore. Lady Ren, take this opportunity to rest."
Ruan Xingzhu smiled and said, "Lady Ren, you haven't slept for the whole night either. If you don't mind, you can rest here."
Ren Yingying was stunned, but Song Qingshu hurriedly said, "That won't do. Yingying's body is weak. I have to nurture her meridians."
Both women blushed when they heard the words' nurture meridians'. Both Ruan Xingzhu and Ren Yingying knew what he meant by 'nurturing meridians'. Even Ruan Xingzhu had personally experienced how he 'nurtured' meridians.
"If Young Master can't bear to part with Lady Ren, you can also stay here and rest." Ruan Xingzhu looked at him meaningfully.
Song Qingshu's heart fluttered. He thought, 'What does she mean? There's only one bed in this room. Could it be …' When he thought of that scene that would make countless men fantasize about it, he couldn't help but feel his blood boil. However, he didn't show anything on his face. Instead, he said with embarrassment, "I'm afraid that's not very good …"
Ruan Xingzhu giggled and said, "Young Master, what are you thinking? I'm just joking with you. If I leave you here and word gets out, I'm afraid I won't be able to face anyone. What's more, Lady Ren is still here … "
Even after coming out of her room, Song Qingshu still had a gloomy expression. He thought, 'This woman really needs to be taught a lesson. She actually dared to tease me.' Ren Yingying, who was at the side, said with a faint smile, "If you want to stay there, I don't mind." Even though Song Qingshu had never explicitly stated his relationship with Ruan Xingzhu, Ren Yingying already knew.
"Then let's go back together." Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows. After he finished speaking, he pulled her hand and acted as if he wanted to go back.
Ren Yingying was so embarrassed that she hurriedly shook off his hand. "If you want to go back, go back by yourself. Who wants to go with you?"
Song Qingshu burst into laughter. He deliberately said those words just now to expose her pretense of being magnanimous. Seeing her shy appearance, he couldn't help but feel pity for her. Amidst her surprised cry, he carried her in his arms and quickly returned to the room.
"You've been cultivating for the whole night last night. You should take a good rest." Sensing his hurried footsteps, how could Ren Yingying not understand what was going on? Her heart was thumping and she said with a red face.
"It's not like you don't know that my body is made of iron." As he spoke, he had already carried her and rolled onto the bed.
After a series of rustling sounds, Ren Yingying was like a tender and beautiful rose. She bit her lips and pouted, "There are people next door." After rescuing everyone back to the ship, for the convenience of treatment, they had arranged for them to stay in a few rooms next door.
"Do you want to say that Linghu Chong is next door? That's just right." Song Qingshu chuckled and lowered his head again.
Although Ren Yingying had always been pure, after being together with Song Qingshu for such a long time, she naturally understood the thoughts of some men. Her eyes couldn't help but ripple, and she faintly pouted, "What a bad guy!"
However, although her tone was a little reproachful, she still gently stretched out her arms, hugged the man on top of her, and gently accepted him …
In the next few days, Song Qingshu used the Solitary Yang Finger to treat Linghu Chong's internal injuries. His cultivation had already reached an incredible level, so using the Solitary Yang Finger to save people wouldn't cause serious sequelae like what happened to Reverend Yideng. Linghu Chong also had the protection of the Absorbing Stars Great Method and the Yijin Jing, and his internal energy was also extremely profound. Therefore, with Song Qingshu's help, his injuries recovered much faster than expected.
On this day, Song Qingshu treated Linghu Chong for the last time and said, "From now on, Brother Linghu, cultivate every day to regulate your breathing. You should be fully recovered in one or two months."
Linghu Chong sighed and said, "Brother Song is really powerful. With your help, not only did I survive such a serious injury, but I also recovered so quickly. It's really incredible." He was an open-minded person, and he had always been a little resentful. However, during this period of time, Song Qingshu had spared no effort to help him recover. In addition, he had seen Ren Yingying's sweet appearance with Song Qingshu, and he knew that she had done it willingly, not because she had been forced. Therefore, he was convinced of his defeat and gradually let go of the grudge.
Song Qingshu said with a smile, "Brother Linghu, you don't have to be so polite. To a large extent, it's because of your good internal energy foundation that you recovered so quickly."
The two chatted for a while, and Linghu Chong said, "Brother Song, I'll repay you for saving my life in the future. But now that I don't know whether Masteress and Shimei are alive or dead, I have to leave to save them."
