Chapter 552: Playing the Tiger to Eat the Pig
Mu Wanqing didn’t expect that as soon as she spoke, the whole place would fall silent. Feeling a little embarrassed, she raised the sleeve concealing her wrist-mounted dart and said, “What are you looking at? Keep staring, and I won’t be polite.”
Her threat made everyone around quickly avert their gazes and resume their conversations. However, their ears perked up, eagerly waiting to hear what she would ask next.
“Why is the young lady inquiring about the Golden Serpent Camp?” Song Qingshu paused in surprise at her question. He took his time, leisurely sipping a cup of wine before responding.
“That’s none of your business,” Mu Wanqing said impatiently, glaring at him. “Do you know or not?”
“That depends on your purpose for looking for the Golden Serpent Camp. If it’s for revenge, then I know nothing. But if you’re going to visit friends, I might know a little,” Song Qingshu replied unhurriedly.
“What nonsense is that? What’s the difference?” Mu Wanqing frowned deeply.
“There’s naturally a difference,” Song Qingshu said with a slight smile. “The Golden Serpent Camp is currently at the height of its power, and its new leader, Song Qingshu, is known to be handsome, refined, and dashing… not to mention skilled in unparalleled martial arts, able to command the winds and rain, and… ah, forget that last part. Anyway, if you’re going for revenge, it’s certain you’ll never return. I wouldn’t want to see such a beautiful young lady meet a tragic end, so in that case, I wouldn’t know anything.”
Song Qingshu shamelessly praised himself in front of everyone, taking full advantage of the fact that his identity was concealed by a mask. While he didn’t feel embarrassed in the slightest, the others were visibly disturbed, mentally cursing him.
“Ugh! I’ve never seen someone so shameless and sycophantic! If a flatterer like him were to hold office, he’d be groveling at every opportunity,” someone muttered under their breath.
