Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 398: Former Saintess

Unexpectedly, Song Qingshuʼs successive moves were skillfully avoided by the woman, and she even took the opportunity to counter with a few sword strikes.

‘This Qinggong seems a bit familiar…’ (G: Movement technique will be changed to Qinggong.)

Song Qingshu was surprised, but also admired the other partyʼs profound skills, which was no less impressive than the great masters of the Central Plains. Thinking that the other party was a woman, Song Qingshu was even more surprised, ‘Is there a woman with such high martial arts skills in the wulin?’

He quickly sifted through the famous female masters in the world in his mind.

‘Dongfang Muxue? Definitely not; Tianshan Tonglao? That old witch canʼt be in such good shape; that old goblin Li Qiushui? Well, she is indeed a master of swordsmanship, but she and I have no enmity, so she probably wonʼt come to me…could it be that she has taken a fancy to my beauty?’

Song Qingshu was immediately horrified at the thought.

‘There is also another female sword master–Xiao Longnu. I did act a bit frivolous towards her, so could it be her? Ah no…considering our relationship she probably wonʼt come to find me…’

Song Qingshu also dismissed that speculation. He had just seen Xiao Longnuʼs Jade Maiden Dual Swordsmanship not long ago. The swordsmanship used by this woman was completely different.

As Song Qingshu was preoccupied with his thoughts, his figure stopped for a moment. Although the time was extremely short, it was good enough for top experts to launch a stike.

As Song Qingshu pondered, his movements momentarily halted. In the darkness, the womanʼs face lit up with joy. She advanced and thrust her sharp sword towards him. However, the swordʼs tip, inexplicably, veered away from Song Qingshu, just missing him by an inch.

Song Qingshu smiled slightly. With this womanʼs Qinggong and cultivation, it would be difficult to defeat her in a short time, let alone capture her. He was also worried that the other party would run away in the dark, so he decided to deliberately use a flaw to lure the other party. That way, she would underestimate her enemy and take a rash step.

Adjusting his steps, Song Qingshu sidestepped, targeting the womanʼs side.

The woman, now realizing her vulnerability, attempted to distance herself using Qinggong, but a sudden numbness in her waist caused her to fall into Song Qingshuʼs arms.

”It took a lot of effort to get you fooled, how can I let you run away like this?”

Song Qingshu smiled proudly, and suddenly smelled the elegant fragrance and the softness of the woman’s body in his arms. Reflecting on his past actions, he added with a wry smile, ”If it were in the past, I might have taken advantage of this situation. So, consider yourself lucky.”

Placing her on a chair, he lit an oil lamp. What appeared in front of him was a pretty face that was full of anger and shame.

Song Qingshu was stunned, ”Ninth Princess, how could it be you?”

”Why donʼt you unseal my acupuncture points quickly?” Ajiu said angrily.

”Okay…” Song Qingshu was about to remove her acupuncture points, but suddenly withdrew his fingers with a strange expression, ”You were trying to kill me just now, so why should I unseal your acupuncture points?”

Ajiu turned her face to the side, ”I…I just wanted to test how good your martial arts is. Your martial arts is so high, how can I kill you.”

”Really?” Song Qingshu thoughtfully responded, ”But just now, when you saw the flaw I deliberately exposed, there was no hesitation in that sword strike.”

”No way!” Ajiu suddenly became anxious, ”Didn’t I deliberately move the tip of the sword out of fear of really hurting you?” ”

“Oh~” Song Qingshu showed a meaningful smile.

Ajiu blushed for no reason and scolded, ”Why are you smiling?”

“Shouldnʼt we smile when we meet old friends?” He responded, teasingly.

”Who is your old friend?” Ajiu retorted.

”Husband and wife for a day begets a hundred days of kindness, so you canʼt be so heartless.” Said Song Qingshu, as he thought in his head, ‘No wonder she said that I had taken away her most precious thing when I entered the room just now. I originally thought it was her husband and children, but I didnʼt expect it to be that…’

”I donʼt like your glib tongue. You sound like… a womanizer.” Ajiu frowned.

”You originally wanted to say that I was like a lea*cher, right?” Song Qingshu laughed out loud, ”Actually, itʼs not that Iʼm frivolous, itʼs just that the people in your world are too serious.”

”It sounds like you are not from this world.” Ajiu rolled her eyes at him.

”Of course Iʼm not.” Song Qingshu smiled.

”Iʼm too lazy to listen to your crazy words here…” Ajiu did not take it seriously, but glared at Song Qingshu, ”Are you going to keep my acupuncture points sealed like this?”

The world was like this, and people were often unwilling to believe the truth, but it was easier to gain trust if you told them lies.

Song Qingshu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He raised his hand and shot a ray of True Qi onto Ajiu Ainaoʼs body, unlocking her acupuncture points.

”Ninth Princess, didnʼt you go back to the Western Region? Why did you appear here?” Song Qingshu asked curiously.

Ajiu shook her head and calmly replied, ”I have left the Ming Cult.”

”You left?” Song Qingshu didnʼt know how to react.

”I have resigned from my position as a saintess of the Ming Cult, and I will never go back again.” Ajiu explained.

”So you really left the Ming Cult?” Song Qingshu was immediately pleasantly surprised. He used to feel extremely unhappy when he thought of her working under Zhang Wuji.

”Zhang Wuji agreed to let you go?”

”Master Zhang is a humble gentleman. We are allies. Why wouldnʼt he let me leave?” Ajiu asked curiously.

”A humble gentleman? He may have been before, but not after the Lion Slaying Assembly…” Song Qingshu sneered, ”I just fought against him not long ago.”

”Have you fought before?” Ajiuʼs beautiful eyes bloomed with a hint of brilliance, ”Who won?”

”Arenʼt you curious why we fought?” Song Qingshu looked at her expectant eyes and was speechless.

”You men always have some kind of stupid reason for fighting.” Ajiu smiled and shook her head.

”Then do you know why I had to learn the technique I used when I saved you last time?” Seeing her calm look, Song Qingshu decided to give her a strong dose of medicine.

As expected, Ajiu recalled the embarrassing scene from the past. Her pretty white face immediately turned red, and she couldnʼt help but speak up, ”I know where you learned that obscene technique.”

”It’s an authentic Bud*hist Secret technique, so why would you call it an obscene technique?” Song Qingshu muttered dissatisfied, and seeing Ajiuʼs eyebrows rising, he hurriedly said, ”Speaking of which, the reason why I learned that technique was thanks to Zhang Wuji.”

”Ah?” Ajiu exclaimed, and the expression on her face changed.

”Itʼs not what you think!” Song Qingshu glanced at her speechlessly, and then told her about his encounter with Zhang Wuji on Blackwood Cliff.

”At that time, all the Qi in my body was transformed by his Nine Yang Qi. In order to treat the injuries on my body, an expert… pointed me to the Tubo Tantric Sect to seek healing methods. I didnʼt know what kind of method it was at the time.” Song Qingshu clearly expressed his depress.

”How can Leader Zhang be so devious?” After hearing Song Qingshu tell his story, Ajiu showed a thoughtful expression on her face.
