Although it was actually a trivial matter in the eyes of modern people, etiquette was the most important thing in ancient society, and the order could not be messed up.
With Zhou Zhiruo's black-bellied temperament, she was already dissatisfied with Icy Snow. If he detoxified Icy Snow first, it was hard to guarantee that she would not retaliate in the future. After all, Zhou Zhiruo's image in the original work was too deeply rooted in people's hearts. Zhu 'er often claimed to be Zhang Wuji's legal wife, but in the end, Zhou Zhiruo ignored her biggest rival in love, Zhao Min, and chose to kill Zhu' er on Spirit Snake Island. If she held a grudge for today's matter, Icy Snow would be in danger.
Icy Snow had always been aloof from worldly affairs. If he detoxified Zhou Zhiruo first, she would certainly not mind. However, she had always been worried about her identity as a widow, so it was quite awkward for her to be with him. If she thought that he valued Zhou Zhiruo as his legal wife more, it was hard to guarantee that she would not feel sorry for herself and make up her mind to distance herself from him. Then, the loss would outweigh the gain.
"Prince Song, why don't you detoxify us first?" Duan Yanqing seemed to see his awkwardness and said, "We have offended your friends just now. If they recover later, it's hard to guarantee that they won't attack us. Prince Song, if you stop them, it will hurt your friendship with your companions. If you don't stop them, you will go back on your promise. Why don't you let us go first, Young Master?"
Song Qingshu thought it made sense, and he did not have to worry about which woman to detoxify first for the time being. When he came to Yunzhonghe's side, Song Qingshu said in a deep voice, "Originally, I wanted to tie Your Excellency to a tree trunk with the thunderstorm today so that you can fulfill the vow you made that day. However, the world is ever-changing. Since I promised to let you go, I naturally won't go back on my word. However, if Your Excellency continues to do evil, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the calamity of being struck by lightning in the future. "
"I won't dare! I won't dare!" Yunzhong He's face was deathly pale. The last time he swore, it was just a trick. He thought that no one in this world would be so unlucky as to be struck by lightning, so he continued his profession of picking flowers without any psychological pressure. Now that he heard Song Qingshu say it, he knew that Song Qingshu had this idea for a long time. If he was tied to a tall tree, he might really be struck to death by lightning.
Song Qingshu smiled and came to the side of the Southern Sea Crocodile God. "Yue Laosan, I admire your honesty and straightforwardness. I'll detoxify you first."
"Thank you, Prince Song." The Southern Sea Crocodile God cupped his fists.
"Ye Erniang, your child's matter is of great importance. It's not convenient for me to tell you. However, you only need to know that he has grown up and is healthy. Don't harm other people's children in the future." Song Qingshu said in a low voice as he came to Ye Erniang's side, blocking everyone's line of sight.
Hearing that her ill-fated child had grown up healthy, Ye Erniang's lifelong resentment dissipated by more than half. She said happily, "Thank you, benefactor. I will never harm innocent children in the future."
Song Qingshu sighed. Ye Erniang had killed children for so many years. Even if she died a hundred times, it would not be a pity. What was the use of repenting now? If everyone were to learn from the Buddhists, lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, wouldn't evil go unpunished? However, he was clear about Ye Erniang's future fate. He knew that she was doomed to die, so he did not want to interfere in advance.
"Mister Duan, what I discussed with you in the Five Poisons Sect is still effective. Maybe we will have a chance to unite in the future." Song Qingshu detoxified Duan Yanqing while using Secret Voice-sending.
Nowadays, people in Jianghu cared too much about the difference between good and evil. They paid attention to the fact that good and evil were irreconcilable. However, Song Qingshu understood that what he wanted to do needed the help of all people in order to have a chance of success. Didn't Grandpa Deng say that whether a cat was black or white, as long as it could catch mice was a good cat?
Of course, this theory was too shocking nowadays. Song Qingshu had no intention of changing people's opinions, so he had to be careful.
Duan Yanqing's eyes brightened. Dali was now prosperous and the people were at peace. Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun had won the hearts of the people. His hope of regaining the throne was getting slimmer. However, if he had the help of a master like Song Qingshu, everything was still uncertain.
"Young Master Song, you don't hold grudges and are open-minded. I admire you." Duan Yanqing laughed and quickly lowered his voice to remind Song Qingshu, "Those two women were poisoned by two kinds of poison at the same time. Mister, if you give one the Grief Softening Wind Potion and the other the Ten Fragrant Tendon Softening Powder, I don't think you will offend anyone."
It turned out that Duan Yanqing had roamed Jianghu for decades. He had seen through Song Qingshu's dilemma and gave him some advice.
"The older, the wiser." Song Qingshu was overjoyed and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
After the four villains left, Song Qingshu detoxified the two women according to Duan Yanqing's method. Then, he handed a bottle of Grief Softening Wind Potion to Zhou Zhiruo. "Zhiruo, quickly go and save your disciples."
Zhou Zhiruo snorted and snatched it. Without thanking him, she got up and detoxified the disciples one by one. Song Qingshu and Icy Snow also detoxified Miao Renfeng and her daughter, as well as Shi Qing and his wife.
Shi Qing had always abhorred evil as if it was his personal enemy, so he was displeased that Song QingShu had released the four evildoers, especially the perverted Yun Zhonghe. However, he knew that his life had been saved by Song QingShu, so he didn't know what to say, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face. Min Rou and Shi Qing had been husband and wife for many years. She knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression. Worried that her husband would offend Song Qingshu, who was highly skilled in martial arts, she quickly said, "Thank you, Prince Song, for saving us. Otherwise, we would have called it quits today."
"The process was full of twists and turns. Song Mou is really ashamed for making Madam Shi worried." Seeing Min Rou's pale face, Song Qingshu knew that she had been badly frightened by Yunzhong He. A chivalrous woman like her was not afraid of death when she roamed the Jianghu, but she was afraid that her innocence would be sullied by a perverted thief. In addition, Yunzhong He was a pervert who threatened to ravage her in front of her husband … Amitabha, this young lady would probably have nightmares every day.
"How can you blame Prince Song for this? It's just that the Sorrowful Wind Softening Poison is really hard to guard against." Min Rou had never seen such a powerful poison before. Her face was filled with lingering fear.
"It just so happens that I have obtained a few bottles from the four villains. I will give one bottle to Madam. You can use it to protect yourself when you roam the Jianghu in the future." Song Qingshu casually handed a bottle of Sorrowful Wind Softening Poison to Min Rou.
Min Rou's face turned red. She didn't expect that he would give her such a precious gift. It should be known that even an expert like Song Qingshu had been defeated by the Sorrowful Wind Softening Poison. With this to protect herself, it was foreseeable that she would not have to face any life-or-death situations in the future.
Min Rou was delighted, but she never had her own opinions. She always asked for her husband's opinion. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Shi Qing.
Shi Qing's face revealed a strange expression. He said in a deep voice, "We, the Black and White Swords, roam the Jianghu and always put chivalry first. If we meet with misfortune, we can only blame ourselves for being inferior to others. If we win with poison, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our chivalrous reputation? "
Although Min Rou was reluctant, she still obeyed her husband's opinion. She smiled apologetically at Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu silently cursed. If it weren't for him, Min Rou would have been taken by Yun Zhong He right in front of you … However, he understood that these Jianghu people cherished their reputation. They valued their reputation more than anything else. Moreover, Min Rou was so obedient that Song Qingshu didn't want to offend anyone. He withdrew the Sorrowful Wind Softening Poison and smiled faintly, "Song Mou was rude."
"Prince Song had good intentions." Min Rou hurriedly waved her hand. She was worried that she would hurt his face.
Song Qingshu smiled carelessly. He turned around and walked in front of Miao Renfeng, "Greetings, Hero Miao!"
"Uncle, you're so powerful! You even beat the bad guys away!" Miao Ruolan clapped her hands excitedly.
Miao Renfeng's face was gloomy. Although he was saved by Song Qingshu, he clearly saw him and Lady Hu walk out of a room. Earlier, Shi Qing and Min Rou claimed that there was a couple in the room. When he visited the owner of the room, Lady Hu didn't say anything. If she didn't have a guilty conscience, why would she not greet her old friend even though they were outside?
"I'm afraid these two were doing some shady business in there." A thought flashed through Miao Renfeng's mind. His face became even more unsightly. Hu Yidao was a friend he deeply respected. When he saw that Song Qingshu and his widow were together, if not for the fact that Lady Hu didn't seem to be forced, he would have pulled out his sword and killed Song Qingshu even if he knew that he was no match for them.
When his wife Nan Lan was cheated away by Tian Guinong's flowery words, Miao Renfeng hated the dissolute and lecherous men in the world, as well as fickle women. Now, Song QingShu was the former in his eyes, and Icy Snow was the latter.
Miao Renfeng cupped his hands expressionlessly, "Many thanks for Prince Song's help. I'll take my leave now." Then, he pulled Little Ruolan out of the room.
Seeing her father's gloomy face, Miao Ruolan didn't dare to act coquettishly. She could only reluctantly look back at the two.
Miao Renfeng stood at the door and suddenly stopped. Without turning his head, he said, "Big Brother Hu's spirit in heaven … Lady Hu, you're on your own now."
Song Qingshu was furious when he heard this. He wanted to reason with him, but Icy Snow grabbed his hand. Tears were swirling in her beautiful eyes. Her face was pale, and her lips were bloodless, but she firmly shook her head.
Song Qingshu's heart softened. He knew that if he really started a debate with Miao Renfeng in front of so many people, Icy Snow would be in a difficult position, regardless of whether she won or lost. So, he couldn't help but pat the back of her hand to comfort her.
Zhou Zhiruo happened to see this scene. She sneered, "Let's go." Then, without turning her head, she beckoned her disciples to leave.
"Sigh!" Song QingShu wanted to urge her to stay, but Zhou Zhiruo was determined to leave. She had no intention of staying, and her slender figure quickly disappeared into the night.
The black and white swords looked at each other. Sensing the strange atmosphere in the room, they quickly took their leave. The room that was bustling just a moment ago was suddenly empty.
"Uncle, quickly go after Miss Zhou. I'm fine here." Icy Snow wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her slender fingers and forced a smile.
"It's hard to explain what happened between us. In her heart, I may not be her husband." Song QingShu shook his head, looked at Icy Snow, and said, "Besides, why would I leave you at such a time?"
Icy Snow couldn't hold back anymore. She buried her head in his arms and sobbed.
