Chapter 740 You're Not Even As Good As Him

What's the point of trying to persuade him? That person is as stubborn as a donkey, completely unyielding. You might have to be firm.

"Okay, he's not in a hurry to go anywhere, I'll go see him in a few days."

"No rush. He said he'll stay on the mountain for a while before making a decision. The sixth young master of the Zhao family wanted to become his disciple, but he didn't agree. However, I reckon he can't avoid this matter."

Yes, the Taoist temple was built by the Zhao family. Now that Zhao Liu's health has improved, it doesn't matter whether he becomes an apprentice or not. We might as well do him a favor.

In the afternoon, Song Chunxue planned to go out.

"Yes, you go ahead. I'll also go to the yamen. The people below have been causing trouble lately, and I need to deal with them." It was rare for Lord Xie to be so serious at home.

"Is Wang Can testing you again? He must be feeling smug after you got injured. You've been gone for months, have he harmed quite a few people?"

Xie Zheng shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, I have my own ways to keep him in check."

"Okay, that's good."

Song Chunxue was preoccupied with many things and didn't notice the hint of disappointment that flashed in Lord Xie's eyes.

However, Lord Xie quickly appeased himself, saying, "Come, try this dish."

"Um."

After their meal, they went their separate ways.

Song Chunxue first went to the second son's house to ask when they would set their wedding date.

Unexpectedly, they set it for the sixteenth of next month.

That is, August 16th.

We're a bit pressed for time.

Song Chunxue lowered her voice and asked the second son, "Are you more anxious or is the Hu family more anxious?"

Logically speaking, they should be the ones who are marrying above their station with the Hu family, so why did they choose such a rushed date? Something seems off.

The second son's cheeks flushed slightly. "You're all in a hurry, aren't you?"

"You two didn't have any illicit affair, did you? And you didn't actually have sex?"

The second son's face turned even redder, and he turned away to look into the distance.

"Hey, Mother, don't overthink it. We've only met a few times."

Song Chunxue frowned slightly. "Oh, you said you were caught red-handed by their parents. They realized their daughter was devoted to you, and they thought it was better to avoid trouble and have her marry you quickly, lest you two, young and impetuous, couldn't wait and something went wrong."

The second son coughed until his face turned red, but he didn't refute it.

Although Song Chunxue couldn't understand, the two were young and in love, so it was normal for her to be anxious.

She felt quite uneasy just thinking about herself.

“Then I will start preparing for you tomorrow. The fourth son has moved out. This courtyard is quite spacious, so it won’t be unfair to the Hu family’s daughter.”

The second son smiled and nodded, "Mother, don't worry. The fourth and third sons are experienced, and I know what I need to prepare. You don't need to worry."

"Okay, I'll get ready."

In her previous life, the second son became someone's live-in son-in-law, and she didn't even have a chance to prepare. This time, she wants to do something.

A new set of clothes and two wedding quilts are essential for her as a mother.

After leaving the second brother's house, seeing that there was still time to find Yu Wanqing, she followed the alley to the south, turning and twisting until she arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.

"Master Song... Master Song?"

Upon seeing Song Chunxue, Yu Wanqing was surprised and nervous, his guilty conscience evident.

"What, are you surprised? What have you done to offend me again?" Song Chunxue looked at him with a sinister gaze.

"No, no, please come in." Yu Wanqing stepped aside. "What business does Daoist Song have with me?"

Song Chunxue entered the room and saw two steaming teacups on the table, indicating that he had just been entertaining other guests.

Where is your apprentice?

“I went to set up a fortune-telling stall, but I still need to eat.” Yu Wanqing put away the teacup, picked up the teapot and walked out. “I’ll go make a pot of hot tea.”

Song Chunxue didn't expose him. She sat on an empty chair and looked around, feeling as if there was another pair of eyes in the room.

"Ridiculous!"

Suddenly, something floated down in front of her, a deep purple shadow that stood in front of her like a small mountain.

The sudden appearance of the figure startled her, and she immediately used a peach branch to tie the person up.

"Hey, I was careless. You reacted pretty quickly. You have quite a few good things in your hands, but unfortunately, this isn't of much use to me." As he spoke, the purple-clad man in front of him struggled violently, his expression ferocious.

"Huoxiang?" Song Chunxue kicked out, "What are you doing here!"

"Clang!"

Caught off guard, Huo Xiang fell backward, gritting her teeth as she gripped the corner of the table and awkwardly sat up.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me, let's talk this out." Yu Wanqing stood at the door with a pot of tea in his hand. "These old tables and chairs belong to the owner of this courtyard. If they're damaged, you'll have to pay for them."

"Shut up!" Huo Xiang roared, "Help your grandfather up!"

"Okay, coming right away, don't rush." ​​Yu Wanqing quickly placed the teapot on the table and turned to help him.

Song Chunxue watched coldly from the sidelines and did not take the peach branch back.

The fact that he needed someone to help him up after falling to the ground shows that Taozhi was not an easy escape for him.

Although he came for Wuyou, she was confident she could handle him.

However, this person is a demonic cultivator with wicked intentions. The fact that he was able to find this place, especially Yu Wanqing's home, shows that he already knows everything about her situation.

I'm not afraid of him using force, I'm afraid of him using underhanded tactics.

Song Chunxue gritted her teeth; this person really was persistent.

He must have been in the capital for a long time, but he has been hiding in the shadows because of Lord Zhao and Master Han.

Now that those two are gone, he'll find an opportunity to make a move on her.

If you threaten her with her children, she will have no choice but to admit defeat.

Thinking of this, her expression grew colder and colder as she stared intently at the person on the ground.

"What are you looking at? Untie me right now, or I'll make your children and grandchildren suffer!" Huo Xiang shouted angrily, her hair disheveled. "If you were a smart person, you would have realized that I came prepared, right?"

Song Chunxue tapped the table. "If that's your plan, then I'll fight you to the death today. The fact that Taozhi can bind you means he's not much worse than Wuyou, so why should I untie him?"

"Ha, what a joke!" Huo Xiang looked at Song Chunxue with a sinister gaze, and threw silver needles at her.

Song Chunxue dodged to the side and saw Huo Xiang's neck being tightly wrapped behind her ear. Her vision went white and she almost fainted.

"Ah!" The next moment, Yu Wanqing was thrown into the air, his eyelids rolling wildly.

"Let go now, or... I'll kill him," Huo Xiang threatened her with all her might.

“Kill him, he’s no good anyway, just like you,” Song Chunxue paused, “No, he’s a little better than you, you’re a demonic cultivator, utterly evil!”

“You…” Huo Xiang gritted her teeth, “I can save your senior brother… Zhang Chengxuan.”

Suddenly, Song Chunxue stood up, and Taozhi released his neck.

No, this person is definitely bluffing. If my senior brother needs him to save him, wouldn't that prove...?

"You think you can just save him like that? Do you even know what's wrong with him?" Song Chunxue said, giving Yu Wanqing a cold look.

Yu Wanqing hunched over in the corner like a quail.

"I heard about him years ago. Wasn't he sacrificing half of his cultivation to save his master's beloved disciple and former lover in order to repay his master's kindness?"
