"I've known sister Wan for a few years, and we've always been very good friends." Song Qingshu sighed inwardly. This Qin Hongmian was really cold. She had an unapproachable look on her face.
Qin Hongmian snorted. "Is that so? Why haven't I heard her mention it?"
Song Qingshu held his breath. "You're like a block of ice all the time, and you're fierce to your daughter. It's normal that she doesn't get close to you. She wouldn't say such intimate words to you."
Qin Hongmian suddenly sneered. "Don't tell me your name is Duan Yu?"
"My surname is Song, and my name is Qingshu." Song Qingshu couldn't help but roll his eyes. She was really incompetent as a mother. How many years had it been? Her database hadn't been updated.
"Song Qingshu?" Qin Hongmian exclaimed. "Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "My identity is sensitive. It's not convenient for the Xixia people to know that I've come here. I'm just proposing to Madam. To show my sincerity, I don't dare to hide it. I hope Madam will keep it a secret."
Qin Hongmian snorted. "Why? Are you famous?"
Song Qingshu was a little impatient after she kept making things difficult for him. He faintly answered, "Just a little."
Qin Hongmian frowned and looked him up and down. She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have heard this name somewhere. However, she lived in seclusion in the Empty Valley all year round and wasn't well-informed about the outside world. So, she couldn't remember. "Your identity is sensitive. You can't let the Xixia people know? Then why did you come here to propose marriage? Do you know that Wan 'er's father is the King of Tiandu of Xixia? "
Song Qingshu had a faint smile on his face. "Is Mu Yuqi really her father?"
"What do you mean?" Qin Hongmian's expression suddenly changed.
"Madam knows what I mean." Song Qingshu did not approve of her actions. She should have either followed Duan Zhengchun directly, or married Mu Yuqi and properly taken care of her husband and children. What was the point of being so fickle now?
However, this didn't have much to do with him, so he couldn't criticize him directly. Song QingShu took out a pair of transparent jade mandarin ducks, a piece of high-quality Nephrite jade, and a large luminous pearl. "These are my greeting gifts for Madam." These gifts were all selected from the Liao Kingdom's national treasury, and each of them could be regarded as priceless treasures.
Who knew that Qin Hongmian was in a fit of anger. She didn't even look at them and directly smashed the things on the ground. "Who cares about your things?"
Seeing that these priceless treasures were about to be smashed into pieces, Song Qingshu waved his hand. A gentle force wrapped around them in advance so that they wouldn't hit the hard floor. Then, with a flip of his wrist, the treasures reappeared in his hand.
He didn't put them down. Instead, he used his vital energy to control them to move up and down in his palm, as if they were fixed in the void. He wasn't deliberately showing off his skills, but he was having a headache. It was obvious that Qin Hongmian was extremely repulsed by men because of her early love injury. He had become the fish in the moat.
It was all that bastard Duan Zhengchun's fault. He showed mercy everywhere and created such a mess!
However, Song Qingshu quickly remembered that he wasn't much inferior to him. Moreover, there were a few of his daughters among his confidantes. Therefore, he was too embarrassed to scold him anymore.
"Huh?" While Song Qingshu was letting his imagination run wild, Qin Hongmian's body trembled. It was obvious that she was somewhat shocked by the unimaginable martial arts that the other party suddenly revealed.
"This is the lost Dragon-Capturing Skill of Jianghu?" Qin Hongmian's voice was slightly trembling. It was obvious that as a person of Jianghu, she had a natural sense of reverence towards all kinds of divine skills and unique skills.
"It's a skill that I created myself. It's similar to the Dragon-Capturing Skill." Song Qingshu's heart suddenly stirred. "If Madam is interested, I can teach you."
He was really stupid. Qin Hongmian's ex-boyfriend was the Prince of Dali. Her current husband was the Prince of Xixia. They were both figures who were second only to one but above tens of thousands of people in their respective countries. She herself was born into the wealthy Qin family. What kind of treasures had she not seen? Yet, he was actually using those vulgar things to curry favor with her.
"Sure, sure." Qin Hongmian excitedly took two steps forward. However, she quickly realized that she had lost her composure. She hastily stopped and coughed unnaturally. It was obvious that she was deeply ashamed of her subconscious girlish attitude. "This kind of unique skill is the secret of each sect. How can I make things difficult for you, Young Master?"
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult." Song Qingshu smiled very happily. He had finally found a shortcut to curry favor with her. "You're Younger Sister Wan's mother. We're family, so why are you treating me like an outsider?"
Qin Hongmian opened her mouth. She kept feeling that it was a little inappropriate to "sell" her daughter like this. However, as a person of Jianghu, it was really difficult for her to resist the temptation of martial arts. Besides, she still had the thought that if she learned this divine skill, she would be able to get even with Duan Zhengchun's other lovers, especially that b * tch from Mantuo Villa. She had a great force under her command, and her martial arts skills were great as well.
When he saw that she was still a little hesitant, Song Qingshu understood that he had to strike while the iron was hot. He immediately began to explain the principles of the Dragon-Capturing Skill to her.
Since he had begun to explain the incantation, Qin Hongmian did not have the time to worry about other distracting thoughts. She began to carefully memorize it.
"Madam, do you remember it?" At that moment, Song Qingshu was no longer restrained. He found a chair and sat down in a very leisurely manner. At the same time, he poured himself a cup of tea. No matter what, he was currently imparting martial arts to her. It was already good enough that he did not put on the airs of a master. What was there to be nervous about?
"Yes, I remember it." Qin Hongmian nodded. The incantation was not very profound, and since Song Qingshu explained it in a simple manner, it did not take long for her to memorize it by heart.
As he watched her practice nonstop, Song Qingshu nodded in secret. Even though Qin Hongmian's aptitude in martial arts was not very high, it was still far superior to the average person in Jianghu. The reason why her martial arts were only average was mainly because she lacked guidance from a famous teacher, and all the martial arts she learned were not up to standard.
When he thought about how Duan Zhengchun had managed to win her heart with just one Five Gauze Light Smoke Palm, Song Qingshu cursed silently. It had to be known that Duan Zhengchun's martial arts were at most second-rate or third-rate in Jianghu, and Five Gauze Light Smoke Palm was one of the mediocre martial arts he knew. It should be said that aside from the Duan Clan's Single Yang Finger, there were not many other martial arts he knew that could be considered good.
After Qin Hongmian cultivated for a while, she could not help but wipe off the fine sweat on her forehead: "Why am I still unable to successfully move objects after practicing for so long?"
Song Qingshu laughed bitterly: "Madam, you are too impatient. Even though the technique of this martial art is important, inner strength is even more important. Madam's inner strength is somewhat insufficient, so it takes twice the effort for half the result."
However, he was also worried that Qin Hongmian would lose interest, and then it would be troublesome for him afterwards, so he immediately added: "However, I can let Madam experience the feeling of Dragon-Capturing Art first. Madam, remember this feeling of Qi, and then practice day and night afterwards, you should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"How do I experience it?" Qin Hongmian was startled.
"Madam, first of all, please relax your body and mind." Song Qingshu stood up and walked over.
Who knew that Qin Hongmian would instinctively dodge backwards and look at him with a face full of vigilance: "What do you want to do?"
Song Qingshu was stunned. When he noticed her wary expression, he realized that she had misunderstood him, and he could not help but smile in anguish. "Madam, you're thinking too much. I just want to channel a wisp of true qi into your body and help you successfully execute Dragon-Capturing Art for the first time. This way, you'll remember that feeling, and it'll be easier for you to practice in the future."
"This is …" Based on Qin Hongmian's personality, she would definitely not allow an unfamiliar man to touch her body, but she really could not resist the temptation. Of course, it was mainly because she wanted to learn how to deal with that sl * t from Mantuo Villa. On the other hand, when she thought about the man's relationship with her daughter, he could be considered as her junior, and she could not say that he was an unfamiliar man.
"Madam, since you don't have any objections, I'll start." Song Qingshu knew that she was still hesitating, so he quickly made the decision for her.
He walked behind her, extended a finger, and tapped the Bolhu acupoint on her back. He channeled a wave of qi into her body. It had been a long time since Qin Hongmian had maintained such a close distance with a man. When she sensed the man's masculine and hot aura behind her, she could not help but feel her heart skip a beat. For some reason, she started to panic a little.
"Madam, please calm your mind and guide this aura through the meridians I taught you just now." At that moment, the man's calm voice traveled into her ears.
It was only then that Qin Hongmian snapped out of her daze. She could not care about anything else and started circulating her qi according to the incantation just now. She had not succeeded all this while because she did not have enough qi. Right now, she felt that her entire body was filled with qi, and her condition was unprecedentedly good. She circulated her qi to her palm according to the meridians, and she instantly felt a suction force traveling toward her. Before she could react, the teacup that was three feet away had already been sucked into her hand.
"I did it! I did it!" Qin Hongmian turned around happily. At that moment, she was a little dazed, and she felt as if she had returned to the time when Duan Zhengchun taught her the Five Gauze Light Smoke Palm. At that time, she had also managed to master it after much difficulty, and the joy she felt at that moment was exactly the same as it was right now.
"Duan Lang …" A dazed look shone in Qin Hongmian's eyes, and she instinctively wanted to pounce into the man's arms behind her.
Song Qingshu only felt a delicate fragrance that gladdened the heart and refreshed the mind, and then he felt the other party pounce into his arms. Honestly speaking, at this moment, his mind was in a daze, and he really could not figure out what was going on.
Logically speaking, with his martial arts, even if he were to face someone whose martial arts were ten times better than Qin Hongmian's, he should still be able to avoid her. But this time, it was really too sudden, and he had not expected that Qin Hongmian would make such a move. For a moment, too many thoughts flashed through his mind, but before he could come up with anything, a warm, soft, and well-rounded body threw itself into his arms with a wisp of fragrant wind.
"Looks like she has really fallen ill from love. Her longing for Duan Zhengchun for the past ten years is so thick that it can't be dispersed, causing her to be in a daze sometimes?" Feeling the delicate body in his arms, Song Qingshu's entire person became like an innocent little boy, and he simply did not know where to put his hands.
If it was any other woman, he naturally would not be so conflicted, but when he thought of the relationship between Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing, he felt an endless headache.
At this moment, an extremely shocked voice suddenly sounded from the door, "What are you guys doing?"
