Chapter 10 Ning Zhongze: Zhao Qing, release Yue Lingshan!
Yue Buqun was certain that if it weren't for Zhao Qing, Feng Qingyang would have passed on his unparalleled martial arts skills to him.
Feng Qingyang's willingness to teach Zhao Qing martial arts shows that he doesn't want this peerless martial art to be lost.
If it weren't for Zhao Qing, Feng Qingyang would definitely have passed on his martial arts skills to Yue Buqun.
However, the situation is beyond redemption and cannot be undone.
"Did Uncle Feng give you this sword?"
Yue Buqun stared at the Changhong sword on the bed, his tone full of suspicion and his eyes greedy.
He must get his hands on that sword.
Although his martial arts skills were inferior to Zhao Qing's, he had to get his hands on the sword.
"Yes, this sword was indeed a gift from Senior Feng."
Zhao Qing knew that Yue Buqun wanted this sword.
But he didn't want to fall out with Yue Buqun, so this was the only answer he could give.
Yue Buqun said directly, "Give me the sword."
Zhao Qing had no choice but to pick up the Changhong Sword and hand it to Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun drew his sword and examined it carefully.
"Hmm, not bad, this sword is very good."
He held the sword and kept praising it.
Yue Buqun sheathed his sword and asked Zhao Qing, "Do you know the origin of this sword?"
"I don't know," Zhao Qing replied.
"This sword is the treasure of the Huashan Sect—the Rainbow Sword."
"It used to be kept by the Sword-Holding Elder, and Uncle Feng is the Sword-Holding Elder."
"But twenty years ago, Uncle Feng suddenly disappeared, and his sword was lost along with him."
"The fact that Uncle Feng passed the sword to you shows that he has high hopes for you."
Yue Buqun spoke to Zhao Qing in a serious and earnest manner, with clear and logical arguments, making it impossible to tell whether he was being genuine or not.
They are indeed very skilled at lying.
Yue Lingshan listened intently and completely believed what she heard.
"I didn't expect this sword to have so many stories, but it is definitely not an ordinary weapon; it is a rare treasure."
Yue Lingshan exclaimed in admiration.
They didn't notice that Zhao Qing's lips were twitching.
He cursed inwardly: What kind of Rainbow Sword is this? They're just making things up!
If I hadn't recognized it as the Rainbow Sword, I would have been fooled by this nonsense!
Before Zhao Qing could speak, Yue Buqun interrupted.
"Zhao Qing, although Uncle Feng gave you the sword, it is our sect's most prized treasure."
"You have received the true teachings of Master Feng and your martial arts have improved. You should inherit his position and post."
"But you are still young. If we make you the Sword-Holding Elder now, people won't be convinced."
"Continue to cultivate diligently. When the time is right, I will pass on the position of Sword-Holding Elder to you."
"At that time, this Rainbow Sword will officially belong to you."
"Until then, I will keep the sword safe for you."
The hypocrite Yue Buqun spoke eloquently and logically, leaving Zhao Qing unable to refute him for the time being.
Zhao Qing thought to himself: Anyway, it doesn't matter if the Changhong Sword is in his hands.
"Master is right, I will listen to Master."
Zhao Qing agreed.
Yue Buqun nodded in agreement.
Then he took out a pill and gave it to Zhao Qing: "This is the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill I refined. It's the best medicine for injuries. Take it."
Zhao Qing immediately took the pill and swallowed it.
Yue Buqun left only after seeing that Zhao Qing had taken the medicine.
But he didn't notice that Zhao Qing secretly spat out the pill.
How can you just take the medicine given by Yue Buqun?
Who knows what that is, or if it's really a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill?
As for the Changhong Sword... although Yue Buqun took it, it doesn't matter.
Without the combination of the Flying Rainbow Heart Sutra and swordsmanship, Yue Buqun could not use the true skill of the Rainbow Sword.
It's fine to let him keep it for now.
Once the Five Mountains Conference begins, Yue Buqun will return everything that belongs to Zhao Qing!
Zhao Qing turned to Yue Lingshan and asked directly, "Senior Sister, why aren't you leaving?"
Yue Lingshan shook her head, sat down next to Zhao Qing, and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, you men's thoughts are too hard to understand."
Zhao Qing narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why do you say that, Senior Sister?"
"Sigh, Xiaolinzi has been avoiding me lately, I don't know why."
Yue Lingshan stared at Zhao Qing, her eyes shining, hoping he could explain himself clearly.
Yue Lingshan is very beautiful, with perfect features, like a carefully carved piece of jade, making people feel comfortable to look at.
However, her slow reaction time is a drawback.
Zhao Qing didn't care whether she was smart or not.
On the contrary, this kind of simple-minded person is more easily persuaded, and he likes this kind of simple-minded woman!
Zhao Qing thought for a moment and said, "Junior Brother Lin is focused on avenging his blood feud and has no time for romance."
"Senior sister, you like Junior Brother Lin? What do you like about him?"
Yue Lingshan couldn't answer.
She asked herself: Do I like Lin Pingzhi? Yes, she liked Lin Pingzhi.
But she didn't know what she liked about him.
"what!"
Yue Lingshan screamed and stood up.
She stared at Zhao Qing in astonishment; Zhao Qing had already stood up.
Zhao Qing approached Yue Lingshan, and Yue Lingshan stepped back.
"Junior Brother Zhao... what are you doing?"
Yue Lingshan was frightened and felt that something was wrong with Junior Brother Zhao.
"Snapped!"
Yue Lingshan retreated to the wall.
Zhao Qing braced himself against the wall with one hand, forcing Yue Lingshan to the side.
He stared at Yue Lingshan and asked, "Senior Sister, why do you like Junior Brother Lin?"
I've liked you for a long time, but I've never dared to say it because I'm not good enough for you.
"But things are different now."
"I have received the inheritance of Elder Feng, and my martial arts have greatly improved. In the future, I will become the Sword-Holding Elder of the Huashan Sect."
"I don't want to wait any longer. I like you. I want to eat, practice, sleep, and wake up with you."
Yue Lingshan didn't expect Zhao Qing to confess his feelings so directly.
She initially wanted to refuse, but looking at Zhao Qing's handsome face and affectionate eyes, she wavered.
Zhao Qing continued, "Senior sister, we grew up together, childhood sweethearts!"
"In terms of martial arts, I, Zhao Qing, am far superior to Lin Pingzhi!"
"We're a match made in heaven..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Qing's hands began to move erratically.
He had already embraced Yue Lingshan's slender waist, ready to pull her into his arms.
"Ahem!"
Two coughs suddenly broke the ambiguous scene.
Zhao Qing and Yue Lingshan turned their heads and saw Ning Zhongze staring at them with icy eyes...
"Ding! Touching the graceful and ethereal senior sister has triggered the Darkening System. Reward: Three years of pure internal energy."
The system notification sound was still ringing in Zhao Qing's ears, but he no longer felt that the reward was anything special.
The situation is very complicated.
He didn't expect that Ning Zhongze would discover him on the spot as soon as he made a move.
This is really awkward.
Zhao Qing abruptly withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and looked like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to look at Ning Zhongze.
"Lingshan, you are engaged to Lin Pingzhi. Be mindful of your words and actions from now on. Women should follow the rules."
Ning Zhong immediately reprimanded him.
"My daughter knows she was wrong, and Mother's reprimand was correct..."
Yue Lingshan didn't make excuses and directly admitted her mistake.
She glanced at Zhao Qing secretly and admitted that she had indeed been tempted.
"You go first, I have something to say to your junior brother Zhao alone."
Ning Zhongze waved his hand, and Yue Lingshan immediately turned and ran away.
She ran so fast because she wanted to get away from Zhao Qing. She didn't know how to face Zhao Qing and had wanted to leave for a long time.
"Clang!"
The sword was drawn, its tip pointing at Zhao Qing.
"Zhao Qing, you've gone too far!"
Ning Zhongze was so angry that her face turned red, and she wished she could chop him in half with a sword.
But what reason did she have to kill Zhao Qing?
Ning Zhongze's act of colluding with Zhao Qing was a violation of traditional womanly virtues.
She really doesn't want to kill Zhao Qing now.
