Chapter 227 - Knowing the Truth
Right now, Song Qingyao was standing there, dressed in white, with a treasure sword at her waist, it was the Pure Jun Sword that Zhao Chen was holding! A gentle breeze blew into the room, causing her clothes to flutter! She wore beautiful jade on her body and a scented sachet on her waist. Her hair was meticulously tied up and everything was a man's attire!
Her eyes were like lake water, and she was smiling at Zhao Chen!
Zhao Chen's expression did not change under her attentive gaze, nor did he feel the slightest bit of discomfort!
"You actually killed Elder Wang, you exceeded my expectations!" Seeing that Zhao Chen's expression did not change, Song Qingyao laughed and said.
Her voice was exceptionally beautiful and gentle! This was not caused by a cultivation technique, but by a Xiantian cultivator!
"Only death awaits you if you betray the imperial government!" Zhao Chen said indifferently.
"After so many years, your temperament has changed a lot! "You weren't like this before!" Song Qingyao said.
"What was I like before? "You know?" Zhao Chen said.
"Of course I know!" You used to be gentle and weak, but now you're no longer that weak and gentle! I can't believe, with your status, you actually dared to infiltrate my white lotus's main altar! " Song Qingyao said.
"You know who I am?" Zhao Chen stared at Song Qingyao and said.
"Aren't you Emperor Xuanwu of the Song Dynasty? The Crown Prince back then? I naturally know of your identity! " Song Qingyao laughed.
"Who are you?" Zhao Chen said.
"Guess?" Song Qingyao laughed.
If Zhang Ziqiu was here, he would definitely be extremely shocked. In the past when he went to look for Song Qingyao, he had almost never seen Song Qingyao smile at him before!
"I don't seem to recognize you!" Zhao Chen said.
"Everyone says that the men of the world have no conscience. Looks like it's true! All these years, I have never forgotten about you and you actually don't remember me! " Song Qingyao gently sighed and said.
Zhao Chen looked at Song Qingyao, his face full of suspicion!
"I still remember when we were in Middle Han Area, you once told me the story of the martial arts world! Those stories are really wonderful. I've always kept them in mind! " Song Qingyao said.
"So it's you!" After a long while, Zhao Chen's face changed, and he shouted!
She was actually the little girl who took care of him back then, A Yao, who was also the A Yao who almost poisoned him to death in the end! Zhao Chen had experienced countless hardships over the years, but none of them could compare to the time when he was poisoned! If not for Wang Chongyang's arrival that time, he would have definitely died! This Song Qingyao in front of him was the main culprit!
Zhao Chen coldly looked at Song Qingyao, and his face revealed a look of hatred!
"You finally remember me?" Song Qingyao bit her lower lip. After a while, she said softly.
"So it's you!" You were so well-hidden back then, you almost killed me! I was too young that day to distinguish between your vicious intentions! I even treated you as a good friend, and told you some stories. Funny, really funny! " Zhao Chen said coldly.
"I didn't mean to harm you! That day, I just took the wrong pill. I wanted to save your life, but who would've thought that I would get a poison pill! After that, Master took me away from the Middle Han Area! Over the years, I have often been sleepless at night, always feeling guilty! It was only until two years ago when I found out that you were safe and sound that I finally stopped worrying! " Song Qingyao explained.
"Do you think I would believe that?" Zhao Chen said.
"Do you believe that's the case!? I will never lie to you! " Song Qingyao said.
"What did you bring me here to do today?" Zhao Chen said.
"Of course it's to save you! Martial Uncle Liu has already discovered you. When that happens, the entire altar will be looking for you. At that time, you won't be able to escape death! " Song Qingyao said.
"Oh? You actually have such good intentions? " Zhao Chen sneered.
"When you escape, you will naturally know that I'm here to save you!" Song Qingyao clenched his teeth and said.
She also did not know what kind of feelings she had after seeing Zhao Chen! Back then, when she was young, she had accompanied Zhao Chen in the Imperial Palace, and at that time, Zhao Chen was already severely injured! She only felt that Zhao Chen was incomparably pitiful, worthy of sympathy! Afterwards, she accidentally poured the poison into Zhao Chen's mouth. After knowing the truth, she was extremely anxious, but unfortunately, her master took her away from the Middle Han Area! All these years, she had always been worried about Zhao Chen, worried that that pitiful youth would die under her trap, until she found out that Zhao Chen was safe and sound! However, even if she knew that Zhao Chen was safe and sound, she was still worried about Zhao Chen and kept on obtaining victories in the battle to the north. She was happy for the youth!
Until that day when Zhao Chen and Zhang Ziqiu came to this place, she didn't know why, but after not seeing each other for so many years, she had actually recognized Zhao Chen's identity in an instant! At that time, there was no limit to the surprise!
Unfortunately, at this very moment, Zhao Chen was actually abnormally hostile towards her, causing her to feel extremely helpless in her heart!
At this moment, Zhao Chen could already hear the shouts coming from outside, as though there were a lot of people looking for him! He looked around, ready to escape at any moment!
"You are very safe here. No one will come to my place!" Song Qingyao said indifferently.
"Many thanks!" Zhao Chen thought, and still said those words! No matter what goal Song Qingyao had, at least he was temporarily safe! For the time being, he had to accept the other party's favor!
"I know you hate me! But that's also true. Back then, you were almost killed by me, so if you don't hate me, that's impossible! " Song Qingyao clenched his teeth and said.
"It has been many years since I last saw you. You have changed a lot from before!" Zhao Chen looked at Song Qingyao and said.
The current Song Qingyao was very different from that day! Back then, Song Qingyao was already a beauty embryo, but his body had not fully matured yet. But now that Song Qingyao's body was fully grown, her beauty was peerless, and she was dressed in male attire, it made people feel that she was unusually attractive!
"Has it changed much? You've changed a lot too! " Song Qingyao laughed.
In her opinion, Zhao Chen was also completely different from before! In the past, Zhao Chen was only a ten-year old youngster. Moreover, at that time, when Zhao Chen was severely injured, she always gave off a kind of soft and weak feeling. At that time, she always had the desire to protect Zhao Chen! But after not seeing him for so many years, Zhao Chen had already grown up. On his face was an unspeakable determination and calmness. For example, although Zhang Ziqiu was unrestrained and unrestrained, he definitely did not possess such an aura!
"This Pure Jun Sword is in your hands!" Zhao Chen looked at the Pure Jun Sword on her waist and said indifferently.
"This is your treasured sword … I'll just treat it as you giving me this sword as our greeting gift! " Song Qingyao laughed.
"This is a gift from Zhang Ziqiu. It has nothing to do with me!" Zhao Chen shook his head and said.
"I will not remember his benefits! In my heart, this is what you gave me! " Song Qingyao said.
Zhao Chen's face did not show any expression, he just looked around the room, which was a typical girl's room, inside there were clean tables and chairs, all sorts of small accessories, and also a faint fragrance!
He stood by the window without a word!
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?" Song Qingyao said.
"There's nothing to say!" Zhao Chen said coldly.
Song Qingyao was gloomy, why did she not mention this!
That night, Zhao Chen meditated and trained in his room. For the entire night, he did not open his eyes until dawn! Song Qingyao had already prepared food and brought it in, so Zhao Chen did not stand on ceremony and started to eat! This Song Qingyao's culinary skills were excellent, but this was the first time Zhao Chen had eaten such a delicious meal in all these years! Seeing Zhao Chen happily eating, Song Qingyao also revealed a smile!
After five days of time, on that night, Song Qingyao finally said: "Let's go!"
Zhao Chen was startled, and said: "Go? "Where to?"
Song Qingyao said: Of course I'm sending you out! They've already confirmed that you've escaped and are no longer on guard! Tonight, I can take you away! "
Zhao Chen nodded, and said: "Alright! "Many thanks!"
Song Qingyao brought Zhao Chen and immediately headed outside. She was still dressed in men's clothes, but today, he had changed into a green robe. The feeling he gave others was that of an elegant, beautiful youth! And Zhao Chen, wearing a bamboo hat, followed closely behind Song Qingyao!
Late at night, there was almost no one on the road!
Even if someone passed by, they would immediately bow when they saw Song Qingyao, and did not dare to ask! But when they saw that there was another person following behind Song Qingyao, they could not help but feel weird. Of course, they did not dare to ask who that person was! Song Qingyao was the Young Sect Master of Sister Bai Lian. She held an extremely high status in Sister Bai Lian, and only her master or an elder in the sect would be able to question her!
The moonlight was bright as the two of them slowly walked forward!
When they reached the outskirts of the town, Zhao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, he was safe now that he had escaped danger!
He was now truly certain that Song Qingyao wanted to help him!
"Miss Song, many thanks this time!" Back then you almost killed me, but this time you saved my life! From now on, neither of us owe each other anything! "Farewell!" Zhao Chen said.
"Why do they owe each other nothing? I accidentally harmed you, and I didn't kill you. In the end, didn't you survive? I have really saved your life this time! "Speaking of which, you still owe me one!" Song Qingyao said unhappily.
"Good!" If the imperial court annihilates the white lotus in the future, I will spare your life! " Zhao Chen said.
"If you get hunted again in the future, I will still save you! As long as I know that you are in danger, I will hurry over! " With regards to Zhao Chen's words, she was still dissatisfied, and only coldly snorted.
Zhao Chen laughed, he did not care about Song Qingyao anymore, and started walking away!
This time when he came here, he still did not know much about the white lotus. He only knew that the guards of the Sword Gate Pass were all disciples of the devil sect, and many of the gentry s in Sichuan were probably disciples of the devil sect! The situation in Sichuan was exceptionally dangerous, he had to find Wu Jie immediately to settle this crisis!
Song Qingyao watched his back as it slowly disappeared. Only after a long while did she turn back!
It was at this moment that she noticed a young girl wearing light red clothes standing not too far away from her!
"Junior Xue, why are you here?" Song Qingyao said in shock.
"Senior sister Song, who is that?" Seems to be that Junior Brother of Senior Brother Zhang's, right? Why did you send him out? I just saw senior brother Zhang today. He said that his junior brother has already left this place. I wonder where he went? Why is he with you? " The red-clothed girl was the disciple of the Yinyang Sect, Xue Susu, who had an ambiguous smile on her face as she spoke.
"He talked to me for a while before he left!" Song Qingyao said with a slightly red face.
"Oh? Just talking for a while? Elder sister, why is your face red? " Xue Susu laughed.
"Damn it!" You must never speak of this matter! " Song Qingyao said.
"So big sister knows how to be shy too!" Xue Susu said.
"This is related to his life!" Song Qingyao said.
Xue Susu naturally did not believe what she had said. The two girls laughed for a long time before returning to the little town.
After a few more days, on the first of June, the Infernal Queen gathered Song Qingyao and the rest to discuss about the rebellion!
