Chapter 691: A Beautiful Rendezvous
Upon Song Qingshu’s sudden appearance, Madame Tang was first startled, but then recognizing his face, she was overjoyed. She rushed forward and hugged him from behind, burying her head deep into his back. “Young Master, I… I thought I would never see you again!”
Song Qingshu patted the back of her hand in reassurance. In truth, the reason he hadn’t informed her in advance that he was hiding nearby was that he wanted to see how she would handle Wanyan Liang.
The result had pleased him greatly. Though she had seemed to give in at the last moment, it wasn’t really her fault. She had tried every possible way to reject Wanyan Liang, far beyond his expectations. After all, in his mind, while Madame Tang was an alluring beauty, she still carried a hint of a courtesan’s fickle nature.
“It’s alright now. He won’t be able to bully you anymore.” Song Qingshu quickly comforted her.
“Really?” Madame Tang looked up at him in disbelief.
“Of course.” Song Qingshu smiled faintly. Earlier, when he used the Bewitching Technique, he had taken the opportunity to plant a mental imprint in Wanyan Liang’s mind, making him lose all interest in Madame Tang. If nothing unexpected happened, Wanyan Liang would never bother her again.
However, given Wanyan Liang’s high status and formidable willpower, he was no ordinary person like Ah Zi. While Song Qingshu could easily use the Bewitching Technique to turn Ah Zi into his devoted servant, he couldn’t do the same to Wanyan Liang. He could only issue him simple commands that wouldn’t trigger strong subconscious resistance.
For instance, Wanyan Liang had only ever viewed Madame Tang as a plaything. Since he had already had his way with her before, Song Qingshu’s command to abandon her did not meet much resistance. However, when he tried a similar command to make Wanyan Liang give up on Huang Rong, he encountered fierce subconscious resistance. Song Qingshu didn’t dare to push too hard, fearing it might shock Wanyan Liang back to his senses.
After consoling Madame Tang, Song Qingshu turned his attention back to Wanyan Liang. Though he had decided not to kill him, there was still information to be gathered. He seized the opportunity to ask, “Was the Jin Empire behind the disappearance of the Wudang heroes?”
