Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 419: The Truth Under the Mist IV

Hearing Zhang Wuji’s words in the distance, Zhao Min trembled all over and couldn’t help but tighten her grip on Song Qingshu’s hand.

“Hey, hey, hey, your man is shameless, why are you pinching me?” Although Song Qingshu was teasing, his attention was still focused on the pavilion in the distance, nervously waiting for Zhou Zhiruo’s answer.

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji in surprise, her face turning red and then pale. She obviously didn’t expect him to say such a thing, and coldly said, “You are not my husband. So why would it matter to me if you don’t mind? I don’t care about your thoughts at all.”

Zhang Wuji couldn’t help but be stunned speechless, obviously he didn’t expect her to answer so unfeelingly.

“Beautiful!” Song Qingshu on the side danced with joy and couldn’t help but pinch Zhao Min’s slender waist.

“You basta*d!” Zhao Min’s beautiful eyes turned watery. However, most of her attention was on Zhang Wuji and she wasn’t in the mood to pursue the matter for the time being.

“Zhiruo, I know you are angry about what happened in Haozhou City…”

Before Zhang Wuji could finish speaking, Zhou Zhiruo interrupted directly, “I don’t care about the past anymore. Leader Zhang has already chosen Princess Zhao…”

Zhang Wuji suddenly said, “Zhiruo, I’m afraid you don’t know, but because of you, Minmin and I have fallen out.”

Song Qingshu looked at the woman next to him in surprise and asked quietly, “Is it true?”

Zhao Min tightened her grip. She closed her lips and didn’t answer his words.

Zhou Zhiruo was obviously taken aback and asked doubtfully, “For me?”

Zhang Wuji nodded and smiled bitterly, “You also know that she is very smart. When we were on Shaoshi Mountain, I came to see you at midnight every day. I thought I could keep it a secret, but I wasn’t able to keep it hidden from her.”

Zhou Zhiruo also knew Zhao Min’s temper very well. She definitely wouldn’t bear to be deceived by Zhang Wuji like that. Thinking that it was her fault that caused the discord between the two, Zhou Zhiruo also felt a bit apologetic in her heart, “Why don’t you explain it to her carefully?”

“Back then, you said you were willing to be with me…” Seeing Zhou Zhiruo’s gloomy face, Zhang Wuji swallowed back the words that he wanted the two women as his wife, “I have been avoiding choosing in the past. You, Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, Zhu’er… all have a deep love for me. I have been hesitant about who to choose. But I finally figured it out. You are all very good women, so why do I have to choose only one? I have already lost Xiao Zhao and Zhu Er, so I don’t want to lose either of you again.”

“He’s as shameless as me…” Song Qingshu sneered.

Zhao Min also frowned, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

“You can’t have it all, Master Zhang. You are a little too greedy.” Zhou Zhiruo said coldly.

“Why can’t I have it all? I like you, and you like me too, why can’t we be together?” Zhang Wuji suddenly said in anger.

“Yes, I used to like you, but we are not destined to be together.” Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji, and suddenly said with some hesitation, “Why do I feel like you have changed a little, you are not like the gentle and mellow Brother Wuji from the past.”

Song Qingshu nodded with deep sympathy and asked Zhao Min in a low voice, “Do you also feel that way?”

Zhao Min had a frosty look on her face and didn’t answer his words, so Song Qingshu had no choice but to continue watching.

Zhang Wuji’s expression changed, but he quickly recovered, “Everyone changes every day, what’s so strange about it. Sister Zhiruo, haven’t you changed too? You didn’t like Song Qingshu at all before, but now you are so devoted to him…”

Zhou Zhiruo snorted coldly, “You don’t have to worry about my affairs.”

Zhang Wuji didn’t take it seriously and continued, “Let’s just talk about Song Qingshu, hasn’t he changed as well? In the past, his martial arts could only be said to be inferior. In Shaoshi Mountain, all the meridians in his body were severed, but in just one or two years, he rose to fame and became a top master in the martial arts world.”

Song Qingshu’s expression turned dark, the matter of his transmigration was his biggest secret. If others could feel that Zhang Wuji was different from the original Zhang Wuji, then wouldn’t it be possible for others to feel that he had undergone earth-shaking changes as well?

Zhou Zhiruo’s heart moved, and she obviously had the same doubts, but she still subconsciously replied, “You told me before that your Nine Yang Divine Art was also found somewhere in this martial world. If you can have some fortuitous encounters, of course others can have then too. What’s more, I taught him the Nine Yin Scriptures before, so it’s not surprising that he can achieve what he has achieved now.”

“Alright, even if his martial arts is due to a fortuitous encounter,” Zhang Wuji drank the water from the glass, and said, “But what about his personality? I remember that Song Qingshu loved you to the core in the past and didn’t care about other women. Even Zhao Min’s stunning beauty couldn’t cause the slightest ripple in his heart, but now he…”

Zhang Wuji sneered, “You can see the women around him change one after another, and there are rumors of him flirting with women everywhere. His actions are essentially the same as Yun Zhonghe, Tian Boguang and other perve*ted thieves. Is he still the same Song Qingshu that was infatuated with you?”

After listening to Zhang Wuji’s words, Zhao Min couldn’t help but poke the man next to her “Little perve*ted thief, why can’t I cause the slightest ripple in your heart?”

“Who said you can’t cause ripples in my heart? You are such a charming girl that there is not a man in existence who wouldn’t be tempted.” Song Qingshu couldn’t help but trace Zhao Min’ delicate face with his fingers. He was amazed by the smooth and tender feeling from his fingertips, and secretly added in his heart, ‘What’s more… you are Zhang Wuji’s lover.’

Zhao Min subconsciously leaned back and angrily said, “Only a perve*ted thief can do these things!”

“You can say whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense…” Song Qingshu shook his finger and whispered, “I call me a perve*ted thief, but when have I ever done something perve*ted to you?”

“Scoundrel.” Zhao Min couldn’t help but rolled her eyes, not bothering to argue with him, and continued to listen.

In the pavilion, Zhou Zhiruo was obviously bothered by Zhang Wuji’s words. She had met Song Qingshu many times and every time, there were other women around him. However, in her opinion, Song Qingshu’s abnormality was most likely due to the fact that he had witnessed the matter (chapter 6) between her and Zhang Wuji in Shaoshi Mountain that day. So all his self-destructive behavior were due to the feeling of anger and despair.

Zhou Zhiruo’s pretty face couldn’t help but turn red and pale when she thought of the scene where Song Qingshu acted like a madman due to the misunderstanding caused by the incident on Shaoshi Mountain.

“Whether he is frivolous or devoted is my family matter, so you don’t have to worry about it, Master Zhang.” Zhou Zhiruo was irritated in her heart and suddenly stood up, “It’s getting late now, if Master Zhang has nothing else to say, I’ll take my leave first.”

Zhang Wuji smiled charmingly, “Zhiruo, if you don’t have me in your heart, why did you come to me in the middle of the night after receiving my invitation?”

Zhou Zhiruo replied calmly, “I am a married woman. However, as the leader of a sect, I naturally have to worry about our influence. The reason why I came here tonight is just because we have known each other since we were young, and came to see what you had in mind. Since all you have to say is just matters of the past, I see no reason for me to stay here.”

Seeing Zhou Zhiruo clearly drawing a clear line with Zhang Wuji, Song Qingshu couldn’t help but smile, and Zhao Min couldn’t help but turn her head and look at the man next to her.

After competing with Zhou Zhiruo for so long, Zhao Min naturally knew Zhou Zhiruo’s feelings for Zhang Wuji back then. But she didn’t expect that Zhou Zhiruo would resolutely give up her past love for the man in front of her.

‘Is this basta*d that charming?’

“Zhiruo, are you really so cruel?” Seeing Zhou Zhiruo trying to leave, Zhang Wuji subconsciously reached out to pull her.

Song Qingshu frowned and was about to rush out when a small hand lightly pressed on his shoulder, as Zhao Min said, “You hide here first. I’ll go out and call you out later.”

Song Qingshu changed his mind. After thinking that Zhang Wuji might reveal some secrets in front of these two women, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing Zhang Wuji reaching out, Zhou Zhiruo subconsciously stepped aside and said in a cold voice, “Master Zhang, please respect yourself.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Wuji’s eyes, “Zhiruo, I didn’t expect that after not seeing each other for such a long time, you have cultivated the Nine Yin Scripture to such an extent.”

As he spoke, he was about to approach her again. When suddenly, a soft hum came from the tree in the distance. Zhang Wuji couldn’t help but be startled as he turned his head and glared in the direction of Song Qingshu and said, “Who!”

Zhao Min nodded to Song Qingshu, and jumped down lightly with a sarcastic smile on her lips, “It’s me.”

Seeing Zhao Min’s appearance clearly, Zhou Zhiruo was shocked and noticed that Zhang Wuji’s face beside her had turned dark, and she thought in her heart, ‘Didn’t these two still love each other on Shaoshi Mountain? Why is the atmosphere between the two of them so weird now?’

Zhang Wuji quickly showed a smile on his face, “Minmin, we finally met again. Why did you leave without saying goodbye that day?”

Zhao Min put her hands behind her back and slowly approached the pavilion, “You should ask that question to yourself.”

“Myself?” Zhang Wuji smiled reluctantly, “Ask myself what?”

Zhou Zhiruo on the side felt extremely awkward and coldly said, “You two can talk slowly, I’ll leave first.”

“Hey…” Zhao Min stopped her and said, “Do you want to leave? I’m afraid someone will be disappointed.”

Zhou Zhiruo didn’t know that she was actually referring to Song Qingshu. Seeing Zhao Min looking at Zhang Wuji with a faux-smile, she thought Zhao Min was being sarcastic, so she snorted coldly and still turned around to leave.

“What we are going to talk about next is not unrelated to Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou should stay and listen.” Zhao Min calmly remarked.

Zhou Zhiruo paused and stopped as expected.

Zhao Min no longer paid attention to her, but turned to look at Zhang Wuji. Looking at the handsome face of her former lover, Zhao Min felt a pang of pain in her heart, “Zhang Wuji, I came here this time to ask you three questions.”

Zhang Wuji gently smiled, ” As long as you want to know, let alone three, thirty, or three hundred, I will answer them all.”

Zhao Min looked at Zhou Zhiruo expressionlessly, “Master Zhou, has Zhang Wuji ever spoken in such a glib tone before?”
