Chapter 591: Absolutely Refuse
Zhao Min, standing to the side, had a fleeting look of astonishment in her eyes. The aura Song Qingshu exuded just now reminded her of only one other person—the greatest figure in Mongolian history, Genghis Khan.
Though she had always considered Song Qingshu to be a remarkable individual, she never imagined his ambitions would reach such heights. However, his aspirations would inevitably clash with Mongolian interests, and it was likely that the two of them would one day meet on the battlefield.
The discussion about the arranged marriage only added to Zhao Min’s inner turmoil. Earlier, she had claimed that Ren Yingying and Song Qingshu had a private engagement merely to unsettle the Sun Moon Holy Cult and create an opportunity for the three of them to escape. Yet, she hadn’t expected things to develop into their current state.
Ren Woxing knew full well that there was nothing between Song Qingshu and Ren Yingying; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sealed her mute acupoint at the critical moment.
Initially taken aback, Song Qingshu quickly grasped Ren Woxing’s intentions and played along. One was an old fox, the other a young one, and with just a few words, they finalized the marriage.
Zhao Min cast a complicated glance at Song Qingshu. It was only then she realized that she had been underestimating him all along. She had only seen him as a top-notch martial artist and had overlooked the fact that he was the leader of a faction.
Although there didn’t seem to be any love between him and Ren Yingying, he had agreed to the marriage without hesitation for the sake of strengthening his influence.

Song Qingshu smiled faintly. “A few months ago, I was merely a solitary wanderer.”
