âIâve made up my mind, so you donât need to talk more about it.â Zhao Min naturally understood the thoughts of the three of them, but she also knew that the three of them had very little chance to beat Song Qingshu even if the attacked together. Even if Song Qingshu only relied on his unpredictable movement technique, the three of them wouldnât be able to catch him, not to mention, she herself didnât want to see him get harmed.
Watching Zhao Min turning around to leave, Song Qingshu anxiously said, âBut Princess, the poison in yourâŠâ
Zhao Min paused, and snorted, âThe Ruyang Prince is full of talented people, and they will have their own detoxification methods, so you donât have to bother anymore.â After speaking, she resolutely left and never looked back.
âThe Princess is already gone. Is Brother-in-law still feeling reluctant to part with her?â Bing Xueâer came to Song Qingshuâs side, saw him staring blankly at the direction where Zhao Min disappeared, and spoke with a slight jealous tone.
âNo way, I was just wondering if Master Murong can deal with Murong Jingyue.â Song Qingshu came back to his senses and have a weird laugh.
Bing Xueâer blushed, and angrily said, âBrother-in-law, why are you smiling so weirdly?â
âItâs nothing.â Song Qingshu shook his head, smiled.
Bing Xueâer angrily glared at him, and her crystal clear skin showed a shade of red, âBrother-in-law, Iâm afraid I have to say goodbye to you.â
Song Qingshu was startled, âSister-in-law, why?â
Bing Xueâer lowered her eyelashes as her figure slightly trembled, âIâve been looking for news about Murong Jingyue, and now I finally found his whereabouts, how can I let him go?â
Song Qingshu remained silent.
In order to avenge her husband, Bing Xueâer had been chasing after Murong Jingyue all this time, so how could he stop her now and selfishly keep her with him?
However, the two had been separated for a long time before they could finally meet again. And now that they had to go their separate ways again, Song Qingshu felt extremely reluctant in his heart. So after thinking for a while, he finally found a valid reason, âSister-in-law, you should understand that Murong Jingyueâs martial arts is very high, and Iâm afraid his realm is much higher than we had expected. Even if my Sister-in-law finds him, not only will you not be able to avenge her, but you might fall into the enemyâs hands instead, so why bother to go after him?â
Bing Xueâer looked into the distance, and let out a faint sigh, âBrother-in-law, have you ever heard that saying?â
âWhich one?â Song Qingshu was taken aback.
âKnowing itâs impossible but still attempt to achieve it.â Bing Xueâer bit her red lips, and slowly spit out a few words.
Although Bing Xueâer spoke softly, Song Qingshu understood that she had made up her mind, and he felt an urge in his heart to say that he also wanted to accompany her to track down Murong Jingyue.
Song Qingshu knew in his heart that there was some ambiguity between the two of them, and if he made this choice, it might not be difficult for him to get Bing Xueerâs heart in the end.
But he knew that he still had other matter waiting for him elsewhere. Mongolia was getting stronger and stronger each day, and it was already obvious that they wanted to conquer the world. If he didnât hurry up to digest the power of the Qing Dynasty, he was afraid that he wonât even be qualified to compete in the future.
The time Song Qingshu had spent while accompanying Zhao Min all the way to Kaifeng to seek medical treatment could be more or less be regarded as official business. The more important thing was that time was still within his control. Song Qingshu could finish all the matters within a day or two, and then he could rush back to Shandong to join Xia Qingqing and deal with the Golden Serpent Camp.
But the matter of Bing Xueâerâs search for Murong Jingyue was different.
Murong Jingyue was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely cunning as well. Song Qingshu was sure that they would definitely not be able to catch him in a short time. If he spent all his time with that matter, then he would be unable to return to Shandong by the time Dongfang Muxue mobilized the imperial army to march south according to the original plan. It would be nothing short of a disaster!
With a long sigh, Song Qingshu had to make up his mind, âSince thatâs the case, I will pass on my martial arts to Sister-in-law. That way, you will be able to protect yourself when you find Murong Jingyue in the future.â
A gloomy look flashed across Bing Xueâerâs eyes, but she quickly covered it up and asked, âWhat martial arts?â
âThe Nine Yin Scriptures.â Song Qingshu slowly said.
Although the âNine Yin Scripturesâ has always been one of the most treasured martial arts in the wulin, but as a transmigrator, his thinking was quite different from that of the natives.
In the past, Song Qingshu had always wondered why Guo Jing didnât pass his âNine Yin Manualâ to the soldiers of the Song army. If every soldier in the Song Dynasty knew the âNine Yin Manualâ, how terrifying would their combat power be?
However, after coming to this world, Song Qingshu finally understood his difficulties. Firstly, an advanced martial arts such as the âNine Yin Scripturesâ was difficult to understand, and ordinary soldiers might not be able to learn them. Secondly, keeping the secret from leaking was also a huge problem. Thirdly, the greater the ability, the greater their desire. When the soldiers learn such advanced martial arts, they might not want to obey orders as before. In the battleground, a martial arts master who didnât obey orders would be far less effective than a soldier who obeyed orders.
Although he understood all this, he still didnât want to give up. Song Qingshu wanted to ââarm his subordinates with peerless martial arts, not to mention that Bing Xueâer had an extraordinary relationship with him, so giving her a mere âNine Yin Manualâ was nothing.
However, Bing Xueâer unexpectedly shook her head, and regarded the treasure as nothing. Her tone remained gentle but firm, âI donât want to practice it.â
âWhy?â Now it was Song Qingshuâs turn to be dumbfounded.
Bing Xueâer remained silent for a while, and a strange look appeared in her beautiful eyes, âIf I remember correctly, when we were traveling the wulin together, Brother-in-law once told me that the Nine Yin Scriptures were found from the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber.â
âYes?â Song Qingshu answered with a bewildered expression.
âAnd the Nine Yin Scriptures were given to you by your wife.â Bing Xueâer quietly sighed, âBrother-in-law shouldnât use his wifeâs things to please other women. If it wasnât for saving Feiâer, I wouldnât have even learned the White Python Whip from you.â
Hearing her mention Zhou Zhiruo, Song Qingshu was startled. He hadnât considered such a thing, and didnât know how to explain it, so all he could was stand still in silence.
Song Qingshu knew very well that Bing Xueâer was unwilling to learn the thing he got from his wife. But his other martial arts, such as the Divine Brilliance Scripture and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, were not suitable for women to practice, much less the Joyful Meditation Method. He didnât want to be beaten to death by his embarrassed sister-in-law.
Moreover, Song Qingshuâs swordsmanship was more focused on sword intent, not the intricacies of sword moves itself, and Bing Xueâer had not yet reached that realm, so she couldnât learn it even if he passed them on to her.
âBut your martial arts is no match for Murong Jingyue at all. When he recovers from his internal injuries, you will definitely lose against him.â Song Qingshu worried.
âActuallyâŠâ Bing Xueâer suddenly hesitated, and a coy look appeared on her face.
âActually what?â Song Qingshu was taken aback.
âActually, I also have a superior internal method, but for various reasons, I havenât practiced it. If I master it, I should have no problem dealing with Murong Jingyue.â Bing Xueâersâ snow-white face suddenly flushed red.
Song Qingshu curiously asked, âWhy would you not practice such a powerful method?â
âItâs just that there is a huge difficulty in practicing this internal method.â Bing Xueâer didnât answer directly, and beat about the bush, as her pretty face got even more red.
âWhatâs the difficulty? Although I still canât claim to be invincible in the world with my current martial arts realm, but it shouldnât be that hard for me to understand the difficulty of practicing internal methods. I can help you understand it.â Song Qingshu was telling the truth.
Although he might not have reached Wang Chongyangâs level of expertise, but it shouldnât be a big problem for him to give Bing Xueâer some pointers on her practice of internal strength.
âThis internal method is the highest method of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and itâs called the âJade Heart Sutra.â Bing Xueâer still didnât reveal the difficulty, but just mentioned the name of the internal method.
