“That’s it. It’s no wonder,” Bing Xue’er suddenly chimed in, “Is that female apprentice very beautiful?”
“She’s okay, not as beautiful as you, but she speaks softly and is quite gentle…” Song Qingshu replied subconsciously, suddenly realizing inwardly that it was a terrible response.
Bing Xue’er and Xia Qingqing glanced at each other. When they saw the same expression on each other’s faces, they couldn’t help but smile, feeling the awkward barrier between them fade.
Miao Ruolan pouted on the side, wearing a depressed expression, wondering why she now had another sister.
Song Qingshu coughed twice on purpose and said nonchalantly, “Now we need to do two things. First, strive for the recognition of more than half of the factions. Secondly, we need to find out who the candidates supported by other hills are, so that we can prepare in advance.”
Bing Xue’er nodded and said, “Yes, time is running out. So, how about this, Miss Xia? You should accompany Brother-in-law, and set off immediately and visit various factions. I will stay here to take care of Ruolan and be your backup support.”
Xia Qingqing was stunned. She understood that the other party was deliberately creating an opportunity for her to be alone with Song Qingshu, and it made her feel very grateful. However, still feeling a little embarrassed, she hesitated whether or not to refuse it, when suddenly, there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Who?” Song Qingshu had actually noticed that someone was coming, but from listening to the other person’s breathing, he knew they weren’t an expert, so he didn’t pay much attention.
“Is Young Master Song here?”
“Who would be looking for me at this time?” Song Qingshu glanced at Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing’s eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty as she quickly covered her face with the veil. With her special status, it wasn’t convenient for people in the Golden Serpent Camp to know that she had a close relationship with Song Qingshu.
Bing Xue’er also walked to Miao Ruolan and protected her behind her.
Song Qingshu went to open the door.
“Situ He, greets Young Master Song.”
A young man stood outside the door, and he was overjoyed when he saw Song Qingshu’s appearance clearly.
“It turns out to be Brother Situ.” Song Qingshu met him once in Wangwu Sect and recognized him as Situ Bolei’s son, Situ He.
“My father heard that Young Master Song had a battle with Mongolian and Khitan masters a few days ago. He guessed that you will pass by here. This one has been waiting here for a long time. My father has been waiting for Brother Song…” Situ He suddenly found that there were two women in the room, and he immediately became stunned.
One was an extremely beautiful young woman, and the other had covered up her face, but her figure was graceful, so her appearance also must be exquisite.
Situ He knew that his junior sister had always been smitten with Song Qingshu since the last time they saw each other, and he feared that it may end up in a broken heart.
“I wonder what Senior Situ wants to do with me?” Although Song Qingshu heard the news from Xia Qingqing, he still wanted to confirm it.
Situ He looked troubled and said, “There are many people here, Young Master Song. Can you accompany me to our base?”
Song Qingshu and Xia Qingqing looked at each other. He noticed the other party nodding secretly and smiled, “Since the last time we met, this Song often misses the grace of the Old Hero Situ. So how can I say no to him.”
Situ He looked happy and stepped aside, “Please!”
“Youyou, you come with me.” Before leaving, Song Qingshu waved to Xia Qingqing, noticing the hesitation on Situ He’s face. He quickly explained, “Don’t worry, she is my personal maid.”
Xia Qingqing couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, and thought, ‘I am the nominal mistress of the Golden Serpent Camp, but he called me a maid in front of my own subordinates. Anyways, I can’t take off my veil, otherwise, things will get troublesome.’
When Situ He heard this, he was even more speechless, thinking that if a maid was so charming, then his junior sister might have very little chance.
Along the way, Song Qingshu and Situ He chatted about some things that happened after the last separation.
He also asked Situ He about the reason they wanted to meet him, but Situ He always smiled and said nothing, just replying that his father would answer everything.
After arriving at the Wangwu faction’s camp, Song Qingshu nodded secretly.
Situ Bolei was indeed a member of the Guan Ning Cavalry in the past. The entire camp had a strict layout, following the military protocol. It was not comparable to ordinary bandit camps.
“Young Master Song, we finally have the chance to meet again.” Situ Bolei had already received the news and came out with a group of confidants from afar to welcome him.
“Brother Song!” Zeng Rou’s gentle voice on the side was also full of surprise. However, she soon noticed Xia Qingqing next to Song Qingshu, and the smile on her face froze.
“Old hero Situ, Miss Zeng.” Song Qingshu returned the greetings one by one.
Zeng Rou was worrying about gains and losses, thinking that such a famous hero might not remember an ordinary little girl like herself, even though she was touched and hugged by him the last time they met.
In the past, Song Qingshu had broken into the base of the Wangwu Sect. And in order to meet her master, he had held Zeng Rou hostage and threatened to take off her clothes.
As she remembered that scene, a slight blush appeared on Zeng Rou’s round face. Although she hated him in her heart at first, she later realized that it was just a misunderstanding. It turned out that Song Qingshu was actually trying to save the Wangwu Sect.
Since then, in the dead of night, Zeng Rou found that she could no longer forget that original scene. Even in her dreams, she would see Song Qingshu climb out of the window and appear in front of her.
Now that she heard that the person she had dreamed of actually remembered her name, Zeng Rou felt extremely happy, and even the depression she felt after seeing Xia Qingqing was gone.
