Li Qingluo was the leader of both the Free and Unfettered Sect and the White Lotus School. She could be considered a top-notch expert in the entire Jianghu, yet Old Sabre Honcho did not intend to use her. This proved that either he did not lack people like her, or … with Li Qingluo's martial arts, she was not qualified to participate in the final event.
Either way, it proved how terrifying the hidden forces of the Mansion of Spirits were.
However, this was not what troubled Song Qingshu, but where to go next. Xiao Long Nu naturally had to return to the Yue Residence. Yue Fei had been rehabilitated, his orphan had been found, and the imperial court had returned the Yue Residence to the Yue Clan. Although Xiao Long Nu liked to be alone, it was still her home now.
Li Qingluo accompanied her. After all, she and the Yue Clan were relatives. This time, the Yue Clan had put in a lot of effort to find her.
Perhaps because they were dissatisfied with Song Qingshu, the two girls left without any hesitation, not giving him the slightest chance to stop them.
"Song Qingshu, where are we going next?" Shen Bijun asked.
This question truly stumped Song QingShu. If he were alone, this question would be very simple. He would simply return to the Prince of Qi's Residence. After being separated from Ren Yingying for so long, he still missed her.
However, there was also Shen Bijun. After being separated for so long, they finally met again. In the end, he brought a woman with him. No matter how he looked at it, he seemed like a scumbag.
"Why am I so hesitant now?" Song Qingshu immediately comforted himself. He was not a scumbag. He just did not want to hurt the two girls, so he hesitated.
"Let's go, let's return to the Qi Residence." Song Qingshu finally made up his mind. He could not be like Yu the Great and not enter.
"Will Elder Sister Ren be unhappy to see me?" Shen Bijun bit her lips, her eyes filled with worry.
Song Qingshu was originally having a headache about how to tell her about Ren Yingying. He did not expect her to bring it up. "How did you know that Yingying is in the Qi Residence?"
Shen Bijun pursed her lips into a smile. "The marriage between the Golden Snake King and the Saintess of the Sun Moon God Sect is a wonderful story. Last time, when you saved Miss Ren all over the city, it caused a stir in the boudoir circles of Jiangnan." Although she was smiling, there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes. After all, she was once a proud woman, an unattainable goddess in the hearts of all men. She never thought that one day she would encounter such a thing.
Song Qingshu smiled sheepishly. "Don't worry, Bijun. Yingying is a very good person. She won't make things difficult for you. You two will become good friends soon." Ren Yingying's most famous characteristic was her grace and magnanimity. In the original work, even when Linghu Chong treated Yue Lingshan badly, she still helped to take care of him without any complaints. In this aspect, there really weren't many women who could compare to her.
Of course, Ren Yingying was not a saint. In the bottom of her heart, she would definitely be jealous. However, the more she was like this, the more people would feel pity for her.
The two of them walked towards the Prince of Qi's residence. Originally, Song Qingshu wanted to take her out to relax. Who knew that Shen Bijun would constantly ask about some of Ren Yingying's daily hobbies, causing Song Qingshu's heart to ache. "Bijun, you really don't need to be so careful. You also don't need to deliberately curry favor with anyone. You just need to be yourself. You should know that although I am a playboy, my standards are very high. On the whole, the ladies by my side are extremely kind-hearted. They don't fight for a man's favor in the palace and use all sorts of unscrupulous methods."
"I was being too sensitive." Shen Bijun was startled. Finally, a heartfelt smile appeared on her face. "It's mainly because of the environment I grew up in. The people I interact with are all the young ladies and madams of the great clans. I'm used to hearing about the messy affairs of their clans. It's hard not to worry."
Song Qingshu laughed. "Don't worry. My clan is different from those clans. When the time comes, your stage will be very large. There's no need to waste energy on low-level matters like fighting for a man's favor."
Shen Bijun grunted. After following him for so long, she vaguely knew what her lover's ambitions were. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little fascinated.
It wasn't long before the two of them arrived at the Prince of Qi's residence. Hearing that he had returned, Ren Yingying was pleasantly surprised. However, when she saw Shen Bijun at the side, her entire body stiffened. However, she quickly recovered and softly asked, "Brother Song, who is this lady?"
Song QingShu laughed and said to Shen Bijun, "How is it? I wasn't wrong, right? That's definitely her reaction. She's clearly a bit unhappy, but she swallows it down and presents her best and most gentle side to others."
Ren Yingying couldn't help but blush. "Brother Song!"
Shen Bijun also pursed her lips into a smile. Stepping forward, she bowed. "Bijun greets elder sister Yingying." At the same time, she sighed inwardly. In the past, when her bosom friends talked about the women of Jianghu, they would all look down on them. They felt that they spent all day brandishing swords and spears, that they were unsightly, unseemly, and unpresentable. In addition, they were not presentable. However, the woman in front of her was like a white jade immortal. Her entire body was elegant and peerless. In all of Jiangnan, there weren't many women who could compare to her. What was even more astonishing was the graceful and composed temperament that she exuded. She was even more noble than a real princess.
Ren Yingying hadn't expected that the other party would be so humble. It must be known that within the same clan, older sister and younger sister were not necessarily addressed according to age. Oftentimes, it was a matter of status.
She hurriedly helped Shen Bijun up. "Bijun, quickly get up. We don't have this kind of thing here."
At the same time that Shen Bijun was looking at her, she was also looking at Shen Bijun. She was secretly shocked by the beauty of the woman in front of her. At the same time, she understood what the book meant when it said that the lotus in the clear water was naturally carved. Shen Bijun didn't wear any jewelry, nor did she have any makeup on her face. To her, jewelry and makeup were all unnecessary. No matter how precious the jewelry was, it couldn't take away her radiance. No matter how noble the makeup was, it couldn't make her more beautiful.
No matter who it was, as long as they looked at her, they would never be able to forget her. Women were naturally jealous. If they met a beautiful woman, they would inevitably think that the other party was pretentious. However, at this moment, Ren Yingying didn't have any such thoughts. Shen Bijun's every movement exuded an elegant and graceful charm. As a woman herself, she couldn't help but admire her.
Suddenly, she wanted to bite Song QingShu ruthlessly. This bastard was a playboy, so be it. Every time he found an ordinary girl, she would feel a sense of superiority, but he would find some fairy-like girls at the drop of a hat, making her feel a lot of pressure.
"Bijun, why does this name sound so familiar?" Ren Yingying suddenly exclaimed. She was in charge of the Prince of Qi's intelligence network. Naturally, she knew the name of the missing crown princess.
Song Qingshu sighed. "It's just as you think. Her surname is Shen."
Knowing that she was Shen Bijun, Ren Yingying's slight unhappiness was instantly replaced by sympathy. She hurriedly consoled, "Bijun, I heard about what happened to your clan. Please restrain your grief. In the future, this will be your home. We are all your family."
"En." Sensing the sincerity in his voice, Shen Bijun's eyes immediately reddened.
Seeing the two women snuggling together, the air gradually filled with sorrow. Song Qingshu wanted to break this atmosphere. "There are too many people here. Let's go inside first."
