"Really?" Song Qingshu gulped. He suddenly felt his heart beating faster.
"You're really going to do that?" Li Qingluo's eyebrows immediately raised.
Song Qingshu was speechless. "You said it yourself, and now you're blaming me."
Li Qingluo's face was also flushed. She snorted. "I can say it, but you can't."
Song Qingshu chuckled. He moved closer to her ear and whispered, "Why don't I help you change your appearance now …"
"You bastard!" Li Qingluo was so angry that she wanted to bite him.
"Shh!" Song Qingshu's expression suddenly changed. He made a shushing gesture.
"You're still playing this trick? No way!" Li Qingluo only thought that he was trying to divert her attention. She didn't care at all.
Song Qingshu hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered, "Someone's really here!"
Li Qingluo's eyes widened. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she panicked for a moment. After all, she still had the identity of Madam Wang. If someone found out that she was fooling around with a young man in the middle of the night, she wouldn't be able to face anyone anymore. The Wang family and the Li family would be even more humiliated.
After a few breaths, she heard light footsteps outside the door. She couldn't help but feel a little impressed. This bastard's cultivation level was indeed high. He was clearly fooling around with me, but he could still hear such light footsteps.
Li Qingluo was the White Lotus Society's Holy Mother. In the entire martial arts world, she was also a top-notch expert. If it was a normal day, she would also be able to sense someone approaching. However, she was just fooling around with Song Qingshu, which caused her to be a little distracted.
"Who is it?" Li Qingluo's heart was in her throat. She could hear that this person's footsteps were light. His martial arts must not be weak. Could it be that he was here to catch the adulterer? However, she immediately denied this ridiculous thought. She was really being paranoid. With Song Qingshu's current martial arts status, who would dare to offend him?
The person stopped outside the door, as if hesitating. After a while, a cold voice sounded, "Brother … Song Qingshu?"
Song Qingshu was startled and lowered his head to look at Li Qingluo. Li Qingluo hurriedly put on her clothes because the person outside was her cousin, Xiao Long Nu.
"Long 'er, what's the matter?" Song Qingshu grabbed Li Qingluo's hand, telling her not to make a fuss.
Xiao Longnu replied, "I wanted to talk to my cousin just now, but I found that she wasn't in her room. I looked around, but I couldn't find any trace of her. Thinking that there were so many Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters fighting during the day, I'm worried that there might be some masters hiding in the dark, and it might be disadvantageous to her …"
"She's quite concerned about you," Song Qingshu teased Li Qingluo in a low voice. He then raised his voice and replied, "You don't have to worry, Long'er. Right now, the mountain is guarded by our own people. There won't be any danger. I just saw your cousin. I asked her to do something for me. She shouldn't be back so soon. "
He thought that asking Li Qingluo to serve him could be considered as asking her to do something for him. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a lie.
"So that's how it is." Xiao Long Nu nodded. Her figure moved as if she was about to leave, but she quickly stopped. "You seemed to be injured during the day. Are you alright?"
Song Qingshu felt a warmth in his heart. He didn't expect that Xiao Long Nu, who had always been cold, would take the initiative to care about him. He hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm healing."
"Do you want me to help you heal?" A hint of red flashed across Xiao Long Nu's snow-white cheeks. "You also healed me in the ancient tomb. I want to see if I can help you now."
Song Qingshu thought of the scene when he healed her in the ancient tomb. He couldn't help but swallow. "I'm afraid my healing method isn't suitable for you right now. Maybe in the future. If there's a chance in the future, I'll look for you … Ouch ~"
Li Qingluo, who was beside him, pinched his waist hard. It was fine if Xiao Long Nu was ignorant, but how could she not know what healing method he was talking about?
"What's wrong with you?" Hearing Song Qingshu's cry of pain, Xiao Long Nu couldn't help but ask. It was common for people in Jianghu to go berserk. He was healing, so she couldn't help but think too much.
"It's nothing. I was careless and got scratched by a cat," Song Qingshu replied as he pinched Li Qingluo impatiently, so that she wouldn't dare to do anything bad again.
"Cat?" Xiao Long Nu looked puzzled, but after hearing him say that, she didn't say anything else.
After a pause, she said, "Brother Song, I have something to tell you. Can I come in?"
Hearing that Xiao Long Nu wanted to talk to him, Song Qingshu was overjoyed. "Of course, no problem."
Li Qingluo was scared out of her wits. She hurriedly mouthed silently, "What should I do now?"
Song Qingshu pointed to the blanket. "Hide in there. She won't get on the bed to see."
Li Qingluo wanted to take the opportunity to escape through the window, but unfortunately, she wasn't wearing any clothes. It would be too late to put them on now, and if she made too much noise, Xiao Long Nu would easily notice. She had no choice but to crawl into the blanket. At the same time, she glared at him and said angrily, "If I'm discovered, I'll fight you to the death."
Song Qingshu smiled, put on his clothes, and went to open the door. A beautiful white figure stood at the door. Her body was covered with a layer of tranquil moonlight. She looked like Chang'e of the Moon Palace. He couldn't help but praise, "Long'er is like a fairy from the Ninth Heaven."
"Really?" The corner of Xiao Long Nu's mouth rose slightly, and a trace of joy appeared on her face.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but smile. Only someone like Xiao Long Nu, who was not familiar with the ways of the world, could answer like this. If it was someone else, they would also say a few words of modesty.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Song Qingshu asked as he welcomed her in.
Xiao Long Nu was about to answer, but suddenly her eyebrows furrowed. "What is this smell? It's so strange... "
Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat as she cursed Song QingShu to death. Song QingShu's expression was also awkward as he casually laughed it off. "Maybe it's because I haven't had any fresh air for a long time." After saying that, he went to open the window and let the ambiguous atmosphere in the room dissipate.
Xiao Long Nu was after all a pure girl, and didn't think too much about it. She nodded and said, "Brother Song, that yellow-robed girl... what's your relationship with you?"
Song Qingshu was startled. "Why do you ask?"
"I'm just curious." Xiao Long Nu's face was as calm as water, and no one could tell what she was feeling.
Song Qingshu thought to himself, "You came to me in the middle of the night to ask me, how can it be just out of curiosity?" But since the other party didn't want to say anything, he could only answer. "We should be very good friends, but after the incident in Wudang Mountain, I'm afraid she may not treat me as a friend in the future."
Xiao Long Nu said softly, "I saw that the girl looked very sad..."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. "This is the helplessness of life. Many times, there are some things that can't be perfect, and some people are destined to be hurt."
Xiao Long Nu nodded as if she understood. After a long time, she suddenly asked, "What about you and my cousin? Is she also your confidante?"
Li Qingluo, who was under the quilt, instantly felt her heart in her throat. She almost cried out in surprise. She never expected that she would suddenly mention her.
Song Qingshu was drinking tea. When he heard this, he also sprayed out a mouthful of tea. "Ahem, why did you suddenly mention your cousin?" It seemed that Xiao Long Nu might have noticed something unusual. Only someone like her would ask directly. To put it nicely, she was ignorant of the world, but to put it bluntly, she was stupid.
Xiao Long Nu replied, "I have been with her for a period of time. I can feel that she is a little dismissive of men, but she is different to you. She seems to be very concerned about your affairs. This time, she even took the initiative to help you form an alliance with the Wang family."
Being stared at by her limpid eyes, Song QingShu felt a little uneasy. "You're thinking too much. Maybe it's because I helped your parents, so she's grateful."
"Is there really nothing between you two?" Xiao Long Nu's beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Song Qingshu felt a little guilty. "Really, there is nothing." The relationship between him and Li Qingluo was just an adult man and woman attracted to each other's charm. In the future, it would not be a big deal at all. However, the customs of the Song Dynasty were very conservative. If it was spread out, he would probably be condemned by thousands of people. He was not afraid of the itch, but he was not willing to let Li Qingluo face that kind of embarrassing situation.
Hearing his denial, Xiao Long Nu suddenly sighed. "Then it seems that you really want to marry that Miss Wang."
"Not necessarily," Song Qingshu hurriedly explained. "During the day, I deliberately said that to make Wang Ziteng believe me. There is nothing between me and Miss Wang." Are you kidding me? If I want to marry her, Li Qingluo will break into my room with a pair of scissors to make me practice the Bixie Swordplay at any time?
"Is that so?" Xiao Long Nu did not deny it. "It's getting late. I should go."
"Don't you want to stay longer?" Song Qingshu pretended to ask her to stay.
"No," Xiao Long Nu shook her head. When she walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and looked at him quietly. "Brother Song, thank you so much. Thank you for vindicating my parents. Thank you for helping me take revenge. Although there are many things I don't understand, I understand that assassinating the emperor is a great disaster. For my sake, I caused you to fall out with that yellow-robed girl. I feel very sorry for you."
Song Qingshu waved his hand. "Long'er, don't worry about it. Although part of what I did was to help you, more of it was for my own sake." He wanted to be like Wei Xiaobao, shamelessly taking all the credit so that the girls would remember his kindness. However, his character made it impossible for him to be so thick-skinned.
"I will remember your kindness. I will find a chance to repay you in the future." Xiao Long Nu said softly.
Song Qingshu smiled. "Sooner or later, we will be family. There is no need to talk about repayment."
"A family …" Xiao Longnu muttered to herself. She glanced at the slightly bulging quilt on the bed and sighed in her heart. She turned around and left. When Song QingShu first passed the Nine Yin Manual to her, her martial arts skills had improved by leaps and bounds. Although she didn't notice that there was someone in the quilt when she first entered the room, she didn't know why, but halfway through, that person's heartbeat suddenly sped up a few times, and she keenly noticed it.
She was just ignorant of the affairs of the world, but she was not really stupid. Moreover, she had smelled a strange smell when she entered the room. How could she not know what had happened in the room? She even had a rough idea of who the person under the quilt was. After all, there were only a few women in the entire Wudang Mountain.
After sending off Xiao Long Nu, Song Qingshu closed the door again and crawled back into the quilt. He hugged the plump and soft Li Qingluo in his arms. He could not help but say, "I don't know why, when I saw your cousin leave, she looked a little strange."
"Could it be that she discovered something?" Li Qingluo said worriedly.
"I don't think so." Song Qingshu was also somewhat uncertain. "Her character is not the kind of person who can hide things. If she discovered you, how could she not have any reaction?"
"I hope so. But people will grow. It has been many years since Long Er came out of the ancient tomb." Li Qingluo faintly sighed. "But she came to find you in the middle of the night to say these words. It feels very strange."
Song Qingshu was startled. He could not help but think of the love games in his previous life in Japan. There were often some inexplicable conversations. If one was not careful and chose the wrong answer, it would often lead to a bad ending with a certain female protagonist.
Was it also like that just now?
