Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 413: The Sad Fairy Sister

The Golden Serpent Camp was a force that couldn’t be ignored. Although the Southern Song Dynasty negotiated peace with the Qing Dynasty, they still didn’t want their neighbors to live in peace, so they naturally didn’t want to sit back and watch the Golden Serpent Camp be completely wiped out by the Qing court.

Hearing that the Golden Serpent Camp wanted to elect a new Golden Serpent King, Jia Sidao became interested and decided to support a puppet to help him block the Qing Dynasty. This puppet would have to be both strong in martial arts and loyal to the Southern Song Dynasty. After much deliberation, his staff recommended Murong Fu of Gusu.

Murong Fu was a descendant of Murong Yanzhao, the prince of Henan Province who was the founding hero of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, by Murong Fu’s generation, he had no official position.

The imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty felt that since Murong Fu was a loyal minister, he should be trustworthy. What’s more, Murong Fu’s reputation in the world was also very resounding.

The common saying—”Northern Qiao Feng, Southern Murong Fu”, was enough to show how majestic and famous they were, which increased Murong Fu’s chances of gaining the confidence of the factions and becoming the Golden Serpent King.

Therefore, Jia Sidao agreed to this plan and sent Bei Haishi, a member of the Changle Gang, who had long since taken refuge in the Song Court, to go north to help Murong Fu win the position of the Golden Serpent King.

Of course, if Jia Sidao knew that the Murong family had been seeking to revive their own dynasty for generations, he would never agree to such a plan.

Based on the information reported by the spies, Bei Haishi learned that the Golden Dragon Gang intended to return south, so he quietly contacted Jiao Wan’er. As expected, Jiao Wan’er agreed to nominate Murong Fu. In exchange, Bei Haishi promised to make arrangements for the safe return of the Golden Dragon Gang to Jinling in the future.

Looking at the beautiful figure next to Murong Fu, Song Qingshu couldn’t help but speculate. ‘Since Wang Yuyan is also here, isn’t that air-headed Duan Yu also nearby?’

Then everyone in the hall began to compliment each other, as per the norm of such occasions.

Song Qingshu yawned in boredom, and waited until they all finally stood up and left.

Song Qingshu hurriedly hid his figure and quietly followed Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan. After thinking about it, he figured that he and Murong Fu had a good relationship, so asking him to make peace later should make Jiao Wan’er change her mind.

“Cousin, why did you ask Gang Leader Jiao not to agree to support Song Qingshu? Didn’t he just give you the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?” Wang Yuyan’s heavenly voice sounded, but to Song Qingshu’s ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue. He quickly stopped and continued listening.

Murong Fu sighed, “If it was just some ordinary matter, it would be fine to help him. I have received great kindness from him, and I should repay him in kind. But this time, I am determined to win in the election of the Golden Serpent King. If I can be successfully elected, with the help of the Golden Serpent Camp’s elite soldiers and strong generals, the day when I can revive our dynasty will not be far away.”

“But is it really necessary to do this?” Wang Yuyan slightly frowned.

In the past, Song Qingshu, whose meridians had been crippled, came to her looking for help. She instructed him to try finding the “Divine Brilliance Scripture”, about which she actually only read a few words from an ancient book, so she wasn’t very sure whether it would succeed.

After Song Qingshu left with a lot of gratitude, it didn’t take long for him to suddenly emerge in the world and become a famous master of the younger generation. Wang Yuyan was still quite proud and full of curiosity about his fate.

Later, Wang Yuyan was kidnapped by Jiumozhi. On the way, she met Song Qingshu who was secretly taking care of her, so she didn’t suffer any big loss.

When Murong Fu came to save her, the two of them watched Song Qingshu fall into a dangerous situation and still left him behind. From then on, Wang Yuyan felt not only a hint of gratitude but also a hint of guilt.

This time she learned that Song Qingshu, in order to repay her past kindness, actually gave one of the supreme skills of martial arts, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, to her cousin without reservation. Wang Yuyan became even more fond of him, and she secretly admired Song Qingshu’s noble character and integrity.

So when she heard Murong Fu persuade Jiao Wan’er to refuse to support Song Qingshu, her heart was full of doubts and anger. In front of outsiders, she was worried about Murong Fu’s face and tried not to have an argument. But now that the two were alone, Wang Yuyan could no longer bear it, and asked.

Murong Fu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, “This time, in order to avoid being taken over by others, the leaders of the Golden Serpent Camp stipulated that all candidates for the Golden Serpent King must meet one condition–- hey cannot be the leader of a faction. That condition will eliminate a large number of top masters in the wulin. I have always prided myself on being versatile in both civil and martial arts. In terms of martial arts, there are few opponents among my peers, so the possibility of successfully being elected as the Golden Serpent King this time is very high. Who knew… who knew that Song Qingshu would also run for the election!”

“What’s wrong with Song Qingshu’s candidacy? You two have a close friendship and can help each other during the selection process. What’s more, with your martial arts skills and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms you recently obtained, you may not lose to him.” Wang Yuyan asked in confusion.

“You don’t understand!” Although Murong Fu had seen Song Qingshu take action, he had never felt that there was much difference between them because of his own pride. However, the masked man told him a few days ago that he was definitely not Song Qingshu’s opponent!

Although Murong Fu didn’t know that the man in black was Murong Bo, he had always received help from him, so he trusted him very much.

Murong Fu knew that the masked man’s martial arts skills were far higher than his own. Since he said that, then it must be correct. Therefore, Murong Fu regarded Song Qingshu as his biggest enemy in the Golden Serpent King this time. If he doesn’t even get the qualifications to compete, that would be the best thing!

“Cousin, even if you don’t say it, I can guess what you are thinking,” Wang Yuyan unintentionally showed a very disappointed expression, “The cousin in my mind is Southern Murong, who is as famous as the Northern Qiao Feng. He is an upright person. A hero, instead of this despicable villain who is always calculating and narrow-minded.”

“Shut up!” Murong Fu was furious, “What do you, a woman, know! Whoever has achieved great things in ancient times is not a ruthless person? The winner is always in the right. One day I will regain our past glory and rule the world, who dares not to praise me as a hero? Since you like to speak for Song Qingshu so much, then why don’t you run to him!”

Wang Yuyan couldn’t help but cry: “Cousin , you clearly know that I am devoted to you, and yet you still say such things to slander me.”

Seeing her expression of grievance, a look of annoyance flashed across Murong Fu’s face, but he soon remembered his mother’s words when he was a child. She taught him that the love between people was really an obstacle to achieving great things, and then he turned solemn, snorted and left.

Murong Fu knew that this was the base of the Golden Dragon Gang and that Wang Yuyan wouldn’t encounter any danger and couldn’t leave, so he wasn’t too worried about leaving her behind.

Seeing Murong Fu leaving decisively, Wang Yuyan became even more sad. She squatted by the steps, sobbing and wiping her tears.

“Miss, since your cousin doesn’t know how to cherish a lady, have you ever considered finding another man to fall in love?” Wang Yuyan was startled by the sudden sound in her ears. She raised her head and found Song Qingshu sitting next to her with a smile on his face.
