After removing the veil, what came in front of him was not poisonous smoke or hidden weapons, but a flawless and exquisite face. She had bright eyes, snow-white skin, a fine nose, and red lips. Between her eyebrows and eyes was a unique beauty.
The candlelight in the room shone on her face. It was unknown whether the candlelight illuminated her or she illuminated the candlelight.
At this moment, she was nervously looking at the man in front of her. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was extremely uneasy.
Song QingShu secretly praised her. Graceful and noble, she was probably the goddess in many people's dreams. If those scholars in Lin 'an City who were like bees and butterflies saw her real face, they would probably be excited to write poems. He didn't know what words they would use to describe her beauty.
However, Song Qingshu was, after all, knowledgeable. After a slight daze, he said coldly, "What? Are you going to seduce me with your beauty?"
Gu Zixian shook her head slightly and said softly, "Of course not. It's just that the descendants of our Residence of Dual Cultivators have always abided by a rule. That is, when we grow up, we can only show our appearance to our parents or future husbands …"
At this point, her jade-like skin was tinged with an agate-like crimson.
Song Qingshu let go of her hand and pushed her aside. He said lightly, "I have enough women. I'm afraid I don't have the fortune to enjoy them."
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Gu Zixian's eyes. She hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that. I just used this way to express that I didn't mean to harm you."
Song Qingshu nodded to show that he understood. He said, "By the way, why did your Residence of Dual Cultivators set such a strange rule?"
Hearing his gentle tone, Gu Zixian secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She said, "I don't know either. There has been such a rule since I can remember."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Now that you've shown your appearance to me, your fiancé, the Young Lord of the City, will go crazy if he finds out."
Gu Zixian bit her lips. "Dugu Ming is not my fiancé." Seeing that the other party didn't seem to believe her words, she hurriedly explained, "Peerless City and the Dual Cultivator Manor do have a tradition of marriage, but it's not absolute. For example, my mother didn't marry the current City Lord Dugu, and I don't like the current City Lord either, so I'm unwilling to marry him. Thus, the marriage between us hasn't been officially decided yet."
"Oh." Song Qingshu's interest was piqued. "Who did Madam marry? I don't think I've heard you mention it before. "
A trace of hatred flashed in Gu Zi Xian's eyes. "I'm not too clear about that person's situation. I only know that he abandoned his wife and daughter, and my mother has always hated him."
Song Qingshu was a little surprised. From Gu Zi Xian's appearance, the Dual Cultivation Madam's appearance couldn't be that bad. Moreover, even though she was wearing a veil, he could still tell from her figure and eyes that she was a peerless beauty. Was there really a man who was willing to abandon such a wife?
"Benefactor, can you tell me your name?" Gu Zixian suddenly asked.
Song Qingshu frowned. "Don't you already know my name?"
Gu Zi Xian shook her head. "I heard from Young Master Xue that the Jia Residence's Young Master had been missing for a long time and had suddenly returned not long ago. Furthermore, his behavior was very different from before. In the past, Jia Baoyu was a hedonistic son who didn't know martial arts. Now, he's a super expert with unfathomable martial arts. It's impossible for him to master such top-notch martial arts in such a short period of time."
Song Qingshu frowned. "I'm very curious. Why are you so sure that I'm that so-called … benefactor?" It had to be known that when he was at the inn, he was wearing a mask and his clothes had been specially changed. There was no reason for him to be recognized.
The blush on Gu Zi Xian's face gradually dissipated. "It's like this. Our Dual Cultivation Madam's cultivation method is very special. We can sense some … some special existences. I originally thought it was just a legend. After all, for more than a decade, there has never been such a feeling as described in the books. But when we were besieged by the Heaven's Mandate Sect in the inn, benefactor descended from the sky. I instantly knew. That feeling was like a sun rising in the night. Therefore, even though benefactor had changed his clothes and covered his face, I could still recognize him."
Song Qingshu was a little surprised. Could it be that their Dual Cultivation Heart Sutra resonated with his Joyous Zen Heart Sutra?
"Tell me your heart sutra." Song Qingshu said very naturally.
"Ah?" Gu Zi Xian's moist mouth formed an O shape. She felt that the number of times she blushed today was more than the number of times she had blushed in the past decade.
"If you don't want to, then forget it."
With Song Qingshu's current cultivation, he naturally wouldn't covet her martial arts. Instead, he wanted to determine if the two were related. Otherwise, why would there be such a mysterious connection?
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just …" Gu Zi Xian twisted the corner of her dress nervously. She found it difficult to speak, but when she saw the other's expression, she was worried that refusing would brush off his intentions. She could only nod and say, "I'm just worried that benefactor will misunderstand some of it … Forget it, with benefactor's abilities, you definitely won't think like an ordinary person."
"Hm?" Song Qingshu felt a little strange. Why did she look so hesitant? Why did it seem like she was having a hard time speaking?
Gu Zi Xian was about to recite the incantation when her heart suddenly stirred. She looked at the man in front of her with anticipation. "Benefactor, can you show me your true appearance?"
Song Qingshu's eyes became sharp. "Are you trying to negotiate?"
"No, no." Gu Zi Xian waved her hand anxiously. "It's just that when I demonstrate the Dual Cultivation Heart Sutra, I need to see benefactor's true appearance."
"There's such a request?" Song Qingshu was very surprised. But judging from the other's expression and tone, this was indeed her sincere words and not a lie. He wondered why the martial arts of the Dual Cultivation House were so strange.
"Yes." Gu Zi Xian's head was almost touching her towering chest.
Song QingShu hesitated for a moment, but he still took off the mask. "My identity is very sensitive, and I can't let anyone know about it. So, it's fine if you see it, but you can't mention it to anyone, and you can't draw it."
He couldn't help but be careful. The women of this era were often proficient in the four arts. If she had nothing better to do and drew his appearance, it would be seen by someone who knew him. His identity would immediately be exposed.
Seeing that she didn't answer and only stared at him with a strange expression, Song Qingshu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Gu Zi Xian blushed and said in a low voice, "I just didn't expect benefactor to be so young." Previously, in the inn, the other party had heavily injured many old demons of the Heaven's Mandate Sect. His martial arts were truly amazing. Everyone had tried to guess his origins. Although there were many different opinions, there was one thing they all agreed on: the other party was definitely not young. Otherwise, how could he have cultivated to such a level?
But now that she saw his true appearance with her own eyes, he was actually so young, and so … handsome.
"Can we start now?" Song Qingshu reminded.
Gu Zi Xian finally came to her senses and replied with a voice as soft as a mosquito.
Song Qingshu was waiting for her to explain the Dual Cultivation Heart Sutra when he suddenly saw her hands on her belt. Then, as if there was no friction between her skin, the robe on her shoulders naturally slid down, revealing her white jade-like body.
"What are you doing?" Song Qingshu thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to unfold like this.
