Chapter 439: The Critical Moment

Glancing at the bright and charming Huang Rong not far away, Song Qingshu had to admit that he was a little tempted, but he quickly recovered his senses and smiled, “Old Brother, I have to attend the Golden Serpent Conference. Besides, I don’t want to become a public enemy in the martial arts world.”

Ouyang Feng also knew that today was not a good time to take action, so he didn’t care about Song Qingshu’s answer. He thought for a moment and continued to ask, “If I capture Huang Rong someday, do you dare to take her?”

Song Qingshu spoke with an embarrassed look on his face, “Well, why are you asking me? Do I have the word womanizer written on my face?”

A smile appeared on Ouyang Feng’s lips, “There is no man with enough heroic spirit to dare touch Huang Rong. However, there are two men present in the world who are bold enough, and Little Brother, you are one of them.”

Song Qingshu was startled, and his first reaction was to think of the Mongolian Khan Temujin. He was a famous collector of married women, and most of the concubines in his harem were the wives of his former enemies. After Temujin defeated his opponents, he naturally accepted the opponent’s wife and daughter as his own.

However, Song Qingshu quickly shook his head. With Guo Jing’s status as the Golden Sword Prince, Huang Rong could be considered an aunt of the current Mongolian princes. Therefore, even if Huang Rong fell into the hands of the Mongols, she would be treated with respect.

With the current prestige of Guo Jing and Huang Rong in the martial arts world, apart from Mongolia, Song Qingshu couldn’t think of anyone who would dare to do such a thing. So he couldn’t help but look at Ouyang Feng with a strange look on his face, “The other person can’t be you, right?”

Ouyang Feng suddenly spoke up in anger, “Hmmph, I’m not a womanizer!”

“Then who is it?” Song Qingshu asked curiously.

“Wan Yanliang, King Hailing of the Jin Empire.” Ouyang Feng couldn’t help but frown when he mentioned that person’s name, “I have never seen such a lecherous person in my life. He has a thing for married women. That person not only covets the wives of his fellow ministers, but also his superior, the Emperor…” Ouyang Feng suddenly realized something and stopped talking.

Fortunately, Song Qingshu’s attention was not focused on this, so he didn’t think deep into it. He only looked at Ouyang Feng with a depressed look on his face, “What sins have I committed to make you compare me with that detestable adulterer?”

Ouyang Feng smiled mysteriously, “I have been in contact with both of you. Although you are very different on the surface, I can feel that you have one thing in common.”

“What it it?” Song Qingshu thought in his mind, ‘If you dare to say something like we both go after married women, I will definitely pick up the tea on the table and throw it on your face!’

“You both have no regards for common etiquette.” Ouyang Feng replied, “However, there is still a difference. That boy Wan Yanliang has etiquette in his heart, but he ignores them. As for you, you have no concept of etiquette in your heart.”

Song Qingshu I was startled. As a soul from another world, he naturally had no regards for the etiquette of this world. He didn’t expect Ouyang Feng to see through it, “Ignoring etiquette is one thing, but you say that I have none at all?”

Ouyang Feng patted him on the shoulder with a faux-smile, “Don’t worry, I understand. I’ll contact you after the matter is completed.” 

After saying that, he laughed and left, obviously very happy in his heart.

Huang Rong, who was reminiscing the old days of the Beggar Gang with Xiao Feng, heard Ouyang Feng’s laughter and couldn’t help but raise her head and look over, wondering in her heart, ‘Ouyang Feng looked like he wanted to ki1l me just now, why is he not angry anymore?’

The more she thought about it, the more she anxious she became. So Huang Rong quickly ended her talk with Xiao Feng and walked to Song Qingshu’s side, “I wonder what Young Master Song and Master Ouyang talked about just now to make him become so happy?”

Song Qingshu casually laughed and said, “We just chatted about some mundane matters. Maybe Master Ouyang was happy to see his old friend.”

‘I can’t tell you that the two of us were discussing how to capture and humiliate you, right?’ Song Qingshu trembled all over and quickly dispelled some dirty thoughts from his mind.

“Oh?” Huang Rong’s radiant face couldn’t help but turn strange, “So Young Master Song and Master Ouyang are friends?” 

Ouyang Feng was aloof and arrogant, and there were only a few people in the world who could be regarded as his friends. Huang Rong didn’t expect that he would regard a young man such as Song Qingshu as his friend. 

‘What other secrets does this man hide?’

“We indeed have a bit of friendship.” Song Qingshu smiled faintly and didn’t explain.

At that moment, Xiao Feng also followed and said with a loud laugh, “It turns out to be Brother Song. I heard that Brother Song is also one of the sixteen candidates this time. It hasn’t been long since my battle with Brother Song, now I can see Brother Song in action again. It’s really this Xiao’s good fortune!”

Huang Rong asked curiously, “Have King Xiao fought against Young Master Song?” 

She knew the level of Xiao Feng’s martial arts very well. He was one of the best among the younger generation, and his strength shook Central Plains. With his high attainments in marital art, Xiao Feng might not even be inferior to her Brother Jing.

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and said, “More than just a fight, this Xiao boasted that he had few opponents in the world with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. But I didn’t expect that Young Master Song would also use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to deal with me, and his attainments in the technique were actually not a bit inferior to mine.”

Huang Rong’s face suddenly turned pale. 

Xiao Feng was an unparalleled genius in the Beggar Gang, and his understanding of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was even superior to that of her Brother Jing! 

Her Brother Jing had found a different path using the soft force of the Nine Yin Manual to master the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but Xiao Feng didn’t have any external help. He spent more than ten years practicing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and mastered both the strong and soft force.

And now, that Xiao Feng actually said that Song Qingshu’s attainments in the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was not inferior to his own?

“The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are a secret that is passed down by the Beggar Gang. May I ask where Young Master Song learned it from?” Huang Rong’s face suddenly turned ugly.

Song Qingshu showed a slight smile, “I learned it from my wife.” 

He immediately kicked the ball to Zhou Zhiruo who was standing aside.

“Your wife?” Huang Rong was stunned for a long time before she realized that the wife he was talking about was Zhou Zhiruo, the head of the Emei Sect.

With such a large number of people coming over, Zhou Zhiruo had already been paying attention to Song Qingshu for a long time. When she saw Song Qingshu throwing the hot potato to her, she couldn’t help but give him a fierce look.

“May I ask where Master Zhou learned the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms?” Huang Rong turned to Zhou Zhiruo and asked. At the same time, she couldn’t help but secretly admire this pretty young woman who had a figure like an orchid in an empty valley.

When Huang Rong was sizing up Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhiruo was also sizing up Huang Rong. 

‘She is indeed a bright, charming mature woman…’ 

When Song Qingshu and Ouyang Feng were whispering just now, they were sizing up Huang Rong from time to time. Zhou Zhiruo could clearly see the admiration and astonishment in their eyes.

For some reason, Zhou Zhiruo saw the shadow of Zhao Min in Huang Rong. Therefore, she subconsciously felt a little unhappy at her question, and spoke in a formal tone, “All martial arts reach the same goal through different paths. The Emei Sect has existed for thousands of years and has accumulated a plethora of knowledge. I don’t know how they are similar, but it is not uncommon for there to be one or two sets of palm techniques similar to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.”

Huang Rong looked at her unexpectedly and couldn’t figure out why this fairy-like woman was vaguely hostile to her. However, although Zhou Zhiruo was a bit rude, but her words were still quite measured. She didn’t directly say that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were created by the Emei sect, otherwise there would have been a bloody storm between the Beggar Gang and Emei Sect.

Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that Song Qingshu was using the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but since Zhou Zhiruo had given her the opportunity to step down, Huang Rong did not want to push the matter too hard, “I see, it seems that this Sister was rude.”

But who knew that Guo Fu would be offended for her mother as she shouted angrily, “It’s shameless to steal someone else’s martial arts and still pretend to be virtuous!”
