Chapter 562: Invitation
‘Last time on Mount Tai, he defeated both Chongxu and Zuo Lengchan. I thought it was mere luck, but I didn’t expect his martial skills to have reached such heights. No, I must acquire the Evil Exterminating Sword Manual quickly; only then will I have the ability to stand on equal footing with these individuals.’ Yue Buqun’s gaze flickered with determination.
‘So, it’s my benefactor. No wonder his martial arts are so formidable.’ Lin Pingzhi’s face lit up with joy.
Over this period, he had diligently practiced the sword techniques passed down by Song Qingshu, feeling a significant improvement in his skills. With hopes of revenge reignited, he now viewed Song as a savior.
Yue Lingshan’s face reddened slightly as she recalled the handsome young man who had once teased her on Mount Hua.
‘It hasn’t been that long, yet that mischievous boy has transformed into a figure with the bearing of a true master,’ she thought, momentarily lost in her memories.
‘It’s no surprise he would come to our rescue, but not only did I fail to repay his past kindness, I now owe him once more.’ Li Mochou’s expression grew odd as she remembered how he had claimed to be a son-in-law of the Ancient Tomb Sect.
Mu Wanqing, meanwhile, bit her lip and stared at Song Qingshu, her eyes brimming with tears. ‘No wonder he felt so familiar. That scoundrel, he’s been pretending to be oblivious all along just to toy with me.’
Seeing everyone’s reactions, Song Qingshu felt a sudden unease—this wasn’t how the script was supposed to go!
Wishing to keep his identity hidden, he forced himself to say calmly, “No wonder you’d feel that way. The Golden Serpent King’s martial prowess has transcended human limits.” He spoke with a reminiscent expression. “I once heard he defeated all the heroes at the Golden Serpent Assembly, making him legendary in the martial world. Unconvinced, I challenged him at his own camp, only to be defeated in a single move.”
