Chapter 735: Saving Him with Her Own Body
One of the two men had crane-white hair but a childlike face, his skin as smooth as a baby’s, without a single wrinkle. Though his head was full of white hair, his lively, darting eyes lacked the steadiness of an elder, making him look more like… a child.
The other man was lean and tall, dressed in a long, straight, blue robe with a matching square hat, exuding the air of a scholar.
At a glance, Song Qingshu couldn’t help but admire him inwardly: ‘What an elegant and refined demeanor—distinguished, yet effortlessly poised. He must have been a heartthrob in his youth, charming countless women.’
When Huang Rong caught sight of the two men, especially the scholar’s face, she turned deathly pale, instinctively pushing Song Qingshu away.
Realizing that there were outsiders present, Song Qingshu immediately withdrew his hand from inside Huang Rong’s collar, his expression turning solemn as he faced the two men. “I do not recall ever meeting the two of you before. If I have somehow offended you, may I ask what the matter is?”
He could tell that both men possessed martial prowess comparable to Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison. He quickly curbed his usual arrogance, not wanting to recklessly provoke two supreme masters.
The white-haired, childlike elder sidestepped and pointed at the scholar. “He’s the one who ambushed you just now. It has nothing to do with me.”
The scholar’s expression was dark, almost ominous. He ignored Song Qingshu’s inquiry and instead fixed his gaze on Huang Rong. “Rong’er, did this despicable man take advantage of you?”
Huang Rong’s face turned even paler. Her emotions were a tangled mess—she didn’t know whether to say yes or no, so she remained frozen in place.
