Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 394: Women’s Thoughts (1)

After Xia Qingqing introduced the current forces of the Golden Serpent Camp in the major factions, she suddenly looked worried, ”According to the original plan, I was supposed to summon the faction masters, and propose that whoever is able to make the Golden Serpent Camp overcome the current predicament, I will appoint him as the new leader. I thought that it would take a while for them to decide, but who knew that they seemed to have the same intention, and they quickly reached an agreement.”

”This is normal,” Song Qingshu smiled, ”Everyone wants to take the opportunity to become the new Golden Serpent King.”

”Huh, if you know the next news, Iʼm afraid you wonʼt be able to laugh anymore.” Xia Qingqing angrily rolled her eyes.

”What news?” Song Qingshu was stunned.

”Gai Mengchang and Meng Bofei said that the election of the Golden Serpent King is of great importance and we cannot allow any cats and dogs to run for election, so we must set a qualification in advance.” Xia Qingqing replied.

”Qualification?” Song Qingshu muttered thoughtfully.

”Yes,” Xia Qingqing said worriedly, ”According to what Meng Bofei said, the power of the Golden Serpent Camp cannot be handed over to someone incompetent. Therefore, he proposed that each faction will recommend a person with good character, martial arts, and ability. It would ensure that no matter who becomes the Golden Serpent King in the end, it will not be detrimental to the Golden Serpent Camp.”

She stopped to take a breath and continued, “As soon as Meng Bofei said this, the leaders of other factions agreed. Itʼs like it was agreed upon long ago.”

”Thatʼs right,” Song Qingshu said in a deep voice, ”Do the candidates proposed by each faction have any specific requirements? Character, martial arts, ability seems a bit too vague.”

”Yes, that’s what I am most worried about,” Xia Qingqing nodded. ”The candidates recommended by each faction must be recognized by at least half of the other factions before they are eligible to compete for election.”

”That is to say, each candidate must have the approval of six or more factions, right?” Song Qingshu thought to himself, ‘This is indeed a bit troublesome.’

”Yes, so I have been waiting for you to come to discuss it, but you just arrived today!” Xia Qingqing couldnʼt help but complain.

‘No wonder she came in such a hurry after receiving my secret signal.’ Song Qingshu secretly regretted that he had taken Zhao Min to Kaifeng for medical treatment before, and then ended up enjoying himself too much with Bing Xueʼer on the road, which indeed wasted a lot of time.

Bing Xueʼer seemed to know what Song Qingshu was thinking, and couldnʼt help but glare at him with a blushing face.

”It seems that I have been a little overconfident,” Song Qingshu couldnʼt help but hold Xia Qingqingʼs hand, ”Are you sure you can get support from several factions?”

Considering that Bing Xueʼer was still standing beside them, Xia Qingqing subconsciously wanted to pull back as Song Qingshu held her hands, but to her dismay, the shameless man continued to hold on, and refused to let go.

Xia Qingqing blushed and glanced at Bing Xueʼer. Seeing that there was no surprise on her face, Xia Qingqing realized that she knew about the relationship between the two of them, and secretly stamped her feet, ‘This bas*tard, he revealed everything about our relationship, how can I not be embarrassed?’

However, she still had to answer the question, so Xia Qingqing thought carefully for a while, and her tone became a little uncertain, ”Golden Dragon Gang’s Jiao Wanʼer and her husband have always been on good terms with Brother Yuan, although…although Jiao Wanʼer and I have had some misunderstandings in the past, it shouldnʼt be a big problem to win her consent.”

”What misunderstanding?” Song Qingshu was stunned.

”Ah, donʼt ask.” Xia Qingqingʼs face turned red, as she thought, ‘How can I tell his about my naive and jealous past.’

”Uh, okay, I wonʼt ask if you donʼt want to tell me, just keep talking.” Song Qingshu couldnʼt help but smile when he saw Xia Qingqing looking like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Xia Qingqing said with a red face, ”Uh, nothing more.”

”Nothing more?” Song Qingshu was stunned, ”You mean you are not sure about winning other factions?”

Xia Qingqing looked embarrassed, ”Oh, Big Brother Yuan used to be the one responsible for managing the Golden Serpent Camp, and I usually didn’t interfered with there matters. I also don’t have a close relationship with those factions, so there is nothing to be surprised about.”

Listening to Xia Qingqingʼs voice getting lower and lower,Song Qingshu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, ”It seems that you are really just a figure head.”

Xia Qingqing pouted, ”Thatʼs why I needed to discuss it, but you came so late!”

Since the matter had already reached such a point, Song Qingshu found it useless to dwell on it more. He thought for a while and suddenly asked, ” Do you know who the factions are planning to nominate?”

”I only know that Jiao Wanʼer and the others seem to be planning to nominate Murong Fu.” Xia Qingqing replied, ”The other faction forces seem to have deliberately hidden it from me and haven’t revealed their plans.”

”The Golden Dragon Gang is from Jiangsu, so it is not surprising for them to nominate Murong Fu, who is also from Suzhou.” Song Qingshu murmured to himself, ”It seems that the people nominated by other factions represent their own interests.”

Xia Qingqing rolled her eyes and suddenly revealed a hint of With a sly smile, ”You donʼt have to be so pessimistic. In fact, one of the top factions have also nominated you.”

”Oh? Who is it?” Song Qingshu gave her a strange look.

”It’s Situ Bolei from the Wangwu faction.”

“So it’s him.”

Song Qingshu couldnʼt help but be stunned. Although he originally planned to use their past to convince them, but he didnʼt expect that the guy nominated him on their own.

”I heard that Situ Bolei has a beautiful and well-behaved female apprentice. Tell me honestly, did you also seduce her?” Xia Qingqing bit her lower lip gently and looked at him with a faux-smile.

When Bing Xueʼer heard it, she also felt that this was very similar to Song Qingshuʼs style, and looked at him with a smile on her face.

”No, itʼs just that I happened to have saved them before.” Song Qingshu couldnʼt stand the ambiguous looks from the two women, and quickly explained how he led troops to destroy the Wangwu Sect and secretly let them go.
