She was also from a large clan in Jiangnan. Shen Bijun had once coincidentally caught a glimpse of Li Qingluo from afar, but she hadn't seen her at the time.
Although she did not know who the White Lotus Mother was, she could still recognise her as the madam from the Wang family of Gusu. She had heard that soon after she married into the Wang family, the old master had passed away a long time ago due to his sickly body. Afterwards, she lived in seclusion in Mantuo Villa all year round. Because she was far too beautiful, there had been plenty of discussions and speculations about her in the circle of madams and young ladies behind her back. However, she had always been an upright person, so she had never heard of any true scandals about her.
But looking at it now, it seemed like she had something going on with Song Lang … Thinking of that, Shen Bijun felt strange.
"Who is the Old Sabre Honcho of the Mansion of Spirits?" Song Qingshu asked directly.
Li Qingluo shook her head. "No one knows who the Old Sabre Honcho is."
Song Qingshu frowned. "How is that possible? You've never seen him before he gave you this mission? "
Li Qingluo answered, "He never shows himself. He talks to us from behind a wall or a screen every time. We only know he's a man."
"So mysterious?" Song Qingshu thought of the Old Sabre Honcho in Lu Xiaofeng, who was the Wooden Taoist of Wudang Sect, but the one in this world clearly wasn't. Could it be Jia Shidao?
"Why did you guys join this Mansion of Spirits?" Song QingShu asked with some dissatisfaction.
Li Qingluo slowly answered, "Because the Mansion of Spirits only has one purpose, and that is to slay dragons."
"Slay dragons?" Song Qingshu was stunned. "To kill Zhao Gou?"
Li Qingluo nodded. "Yes. Back then, my aunts and uncles were very kind to me. They were killed unjustly. Other than Qin Hui and Moqi Wan, Zhao Gou was the real mastermind behind the scenes. How could I let him continue to be the emperor? So someone contacted me, and we hit it off. "
Song Qingshu recalled the scene of Xiao Long Nu entering the Lin 'an Imperial Palace alone to assassinate Zhao Gou, and he could not help but feel a headache. "Since it was to kill Zhao Gou, why did you come to deal with the WuTang Clan?"
Li Qingluo replied weakly, "It's mainly because Old Sabre Honcho said that this is a plot to assassinate Zhao Gou."
"You believe me just like that?" Song Qingshu was so angry that he laughed. He couldn't help but pinch her hard.
Only Li Qingluo's face reddened, she bit her lip and snorted, "Why wouldn't I believe it? That dog Emperor's body has been damaged by himself, these years he has been praying to God and Buddha all day long, and Zhenren Zhang is a famous longevity star, so when Old Sabre Honcho invited Zhenren Zhang to Jiangnan as a guest, I reckon he was planning to use this as a pretext to lure Zhao Gou into a trap … I just didn't expect that they were actually planning to exterminate the entire Wudang Sect. If I knew about this from the beginning, I definitely wouldn't have gotten involved."
Song Qingshu snorted coldly and said, "Who knows if you guys would be so eager for revenge that you're blinded by greed."
Li Qingluo's face turned cold. "When have I ever explained my actions to anyone, only you are the exception. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it. Let me down!"
Xiao Long Nu hurriedly persuaded, "Biaojie, don't be agitated, lest you aggravate your injuries again. Song Dage, I have always been with biaojie, I can testify for her. "
"Alright, for the time being what you said is true," Song Qingshu pondered for a moment. "Then why would Old Sabre Honcho lie to you? Don't tell me he knows about our relationship?"
"Maybe I asked Old Sabre Honcho whether or not he would harm Zhenren Zhang and the others, and aroused his vigilance, so he purposely weaved a lie." Li Qingluo replied. Suddenly she realized something, her face instantly blushed. She hastily spat, "Pei! What relationship do I have with you? It's just that for the sake of biaomei, we can barely be considered friends."
Only now did Song Qingshu realize that there were other people next to them. He embarrassedly said, "Who said we have no relationship? I am also your daughter's savior. Furthermore, I have also saved your mother and father."
Seeing the two of them trying to cover up, Shen Bijun secretly sighed, but she still pretended that she did not see anything. Xiao Long Nu was also involved in the situation, so she did not think too much about it.
Li Qingluo coughed twice and continued, "I know about the matter of you saving them. Not long ago I went to Beating Drum Mountain and met them, otherwise where did I get my Grieving Paralyzing Wind from?"
Song Qingshu secretly nodded his head, "It seems that Old Sabre Honcho needs you to provide him with the Grieving Paralyzing Wind, that's why he pulled you into the situation."
Li Qingluo immediately became slightly displeased, "Are you saying my martial arts are not good enough?"
By now, they had already returned to their residence. He placed her on the bed, "I'm just stating the facts. I can see that Taoist Huang Mu, Silly Tea, and the others' martial arts are not weak. Old Sabre Honcho might not care about your martial arts. The reason why he tricked you into joining them must be because the Grieving Paralyzing Wind you possess is something they need for their plan this time."
"If you say so, then so be it." Li Qingluo snorted. She was the mighty White Lotus Mother. In the jianghu, she was also someone who struck fear in their hearts. In the end, her martial arts were looked down upon. She obviously felt rather uncomfortable.
"Oh right, from what you said earlier, it seems that the Mansion of Spirits is specially looking for powerful people like you who have a deep grudge against Zhao Gou. I wonder who else is in the Mansion of Spirits?" Song Qingshu asked.
Li Qingluo shook her head, "The people in the Mansion of Spirits have always been in one-way contact. They do not know about other people in parallel. This time, Taoist Huang Mu and Silly Tea only found out because they participated in the same mission."
Song Qingshu frowned, "Then there are no clues at all?"
"It's not that there aren't any." Li Qingluo gestured to Xiao Long Nu to find a pillow for her back. She sat up against the headboard and answered, "I've investigated privately. The people in the Mansion of Spirits all hide their identities. They all use nicknames. For example, Taoist Huang Mu's nickname is Wandering Soul. Silly Tea's nickname is Soul Seducer."
Song Qingshu thought that these nicknames were quite fitting. Taoist Huang Mu's martial arts meant that he could appear and disappear unpredictably. In addition, he escaped from the Poisonous Dragon Cave. He really was like a wandering soul. As for Silly Tea, he was famous for his magical sword. Once his sword was drawn, it really was soul seducing. It was a pity that he encountered Zhang Sanfeng, a demi-immortal.
Previously, Ruan Xingzhu was almost assassinated by Wandering Soul. Now that Wandering Soul died in Wu Dang, it could be considered as solving a problem for her.
"Then what's your nickname?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
"I … I …" The usually cold and arrogant Li Qingluo suddenly became bashful.
This time, even the usually cold Xiao Long Nu could not help but laugh, "Cousin's nickname is' Widow Flower '."
"Widow Flower?" Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. Finally, he also laughed, "That's quite fitting."
Widow naturally lived up to her name. As for Flower, with his relationship with Li Qingluo, it was obvious that she could not be a chaste woman. He did not know why she gave herself this nickname.
"What are you laughing at!" Li Qingluo was instantly annoyed. She really could not keep her face.
Song Qingshu smiled and changed the topic, "Long 'er, what's your nickname?"
Xiao Long Nu shook her head, "I did not join the Mansion of Spirits."
