Chapter 590: Marriage Alliance
Upon hearing Zhao Min suggest placing her in Song Qingshu’s harem, Li Mochou frowned. Although she had always been cold and aloof toward men, she was not foolish. Knowing Zhao Min’s intentions at this moment, she naturally wouldn’t expose her in public.
On the other hand, the faces of the Sun Moon Holy Cult members all changed drastically. They exchanged peculiar glances at Ren Yingying. After all, everyone knew about her relationship with Linghu Chong. Now, hearing that she had privately pledged herself to Song Qingshu was nothing short of shocking.
Even Ren Woxing gave his daughter a strange look. He had always been dissatisfied with Linghu Chong. Apart from Linghu Chong’s exceptional swordsmanship, he found him entirely unremarkable. Moreover, Linghu Chong had repeatedly rejected his offers of goodwill, which tested Ren Woxing’s patience to the limit.
Now, hearing that his beloved daughter had privately pledged herself to Song Qingshu, Ren Woxing felt both astonished and delighted. Considering Song Qingshu’s martial arts prowess and influence, he was far superior to Linghu Chong. As for Song Qingshu having many women by his side, Ren Woxing didn’t mind. To him, a real man ought to have multiple wives and concubines. If it became a problem, he could always eliminate his daughter’s rivals for her.
Feeling the gaze of the cult members and her father, Ren Yingying realized they had partially believed Zhao Min’s words. She was both angry and anxious, glaring at Zhao Min. “Nonsense! I wish I could kill that scoundrel. How could I… how could I ever have anything to do with him?”
Ren Yingying was known for her thin skin and concern for appearances. In front of so many people, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words “pledged herself to him.”
Song Qingshu was equally stunned by Zhao Min’s claims but chose to stay silent. Knowing her sharp wits, he decided to watch her performance with interest.
“Why must you deny it, sister?” Zhao Min appeared surprised by Ren Yingying’s denial. She casually remarked, “You even stole your father’s Cosmic Absorption Technique for Brother Song, yet you claim you aren’t deeply in love with him?”
Although Song Qingshu had not told Zhao Min how he obtained the Cosmic Absorption Technique, her cleverness allowed her to deduce Ren Yingying’s involvement. Unexpectedly, her guess hit the mark.
