Chapter 13

"Xiaoyao Ke, was everything that happened today within your expectations?"

A handsome man dressed in white with a long sword at his waist appeared in Xiao Meiniang's mind.

If she hadn't met Xiaoyao Ke back then, she would still be a puppet empress; now, she had become a top-tier martial artist at the Perfected Grand Grandmaster realm.

Even Yang Guang did not dare to do anything to her!

Great Ming, Wudang Mountain, True Martial Hall!

"Father, Grandmaster, I made the list!"

Song Qingshu shouted excitedly after seeing he made the list.

A sword-shaped elixir appeared in his hand, with three silver sword marks on it.

The entire elixir exuded intense sword intent, making one's heart feel a chill.

"Not bad, Qingshu, you must work even harder in the future."

"Sooner or later, you young people will need to carry the banner of Wudang Mountain."

Song Yuanqiao smiled and stroked his beard, feeling very gratified.

His son being able to make the Heaven's Pride List meant that his son's talent was recognized by the Heavenly Dao and he was among the top batch of people in the entire Nine Provinces.

This was not in vain for his careful teaching on weekdays, and it would not disgrace the name of Wudang Mountain.

"Very good, Qingshu, remember not to be arrogant after your strength increases."

"Always remember that you are the Senior Brother of Wudang Mountain and set an example for the junior brothers below."

Zhang Sanfeng was also very happy.

Although the status of Wudang Mountain in the Great Ming Jianghu was extraordinary.

However, these reputations were all supported by the older generation.

The juniors below were either not talented or too young; now, there was finally a Song Qingshu who could make the list and serve as a face for the sect.

"As you command!"

Song Qingshu said with a smile.

Then, he swallowed the elixir rewarded by the Heavenly Dao.

The next second, he felt an intense sword intent raging in his body.

The intense pain made him miserable.

Song Qingshu gritted his teeth and persisted, and soon this feeling disappeared.

Replacing it was the feeling that his strength had improved by a large margin.

Sword techniques he didn't quite understand in the past were now all clear, and he also felt that the power of his sword techniques had improved by a large margin.

"Junior Sister Zhiruo, I am no longer the person I was before!"

"Will you let go of that person in your heart and look at me properly?"

Song Qingshu thought infatuatedly in his heart.

Immediately after, a ruthless thought arose in his heart.

"Even if you can't let go of that person and don't look at me properly, so what? I am definitely a thousand or a hundred times stronger than that person now!"

"Before long, I will have my father go to Mount Emei to propose marriage."

"I must marry you as my wife!"

Song Qingshu secretly made up his mind.

Great Ming, Mount Emei!

Zhou Zhiruo felt intense disgust upon seeing Song Qingshu on the list.

This Song Qingshu had pestered her several times.

If it weren't for the fact that Emei and Wudang had been on good terms for generations and she didn't want to destroy the friendship between the two sects, Zhou Zhiruo would have killed him long ago.

"I hope you don't pester me again."

"Otherwise, I really won't be polite to you!"

Zhou Zhiruo murmured.

Her heart had long been occupied by that white-clad sword immortal.

It was that white-clad sword immortal who saved her at a critical moment back then.

"Junior Sister, Master asked me to call you!"

Ding Minjun walked over and said.

Zhou Zhiruo collected her thoughts and followed Ding Minjun toward the main hall.

Ding Minjun, seeing Zhou Zhiruo so arrogant, felt very unhappy, and a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

All of this was seen by Zhou Zhiruo.

However, she had no intention of arguing too much with a minor character like Ding Minjun.

She just wanted to find the white-clad sword immortal now!

Great Qin, Ninth Prince's Mansion!

Jiang Yuyan knelt beside Ying Ziyu, kneading his shoulders.

"Song Yuanqiao is also the head of the Seven Heroes of Wudang."

"Like father, like son; his son being able to make the Heaven's Pride List shows that this Song Qingshu really has some ability."

Jiang Yuyan nodded, her expression one of taking it for granted.

"Heh!"

"Song Qingshu, just a straw bag!"

Ying Ziyu said with great disdain.

He didn't look down on Song Qingshu; he just didn't put Song Qingshu in his eyes at all.

Song Qingshu was not worthy!

"Oh? Why does the Master say that?"

Jiang Yuyan asked curiously.

It was the first time she had seen the Master be so disdainful of someone.

This aroused her intense curiosity.

"Song Qingshu's own talent is very ordinary; his current realm is all piled up by elixirs."

"He was able to make the list, which should have something to do with his identity."

"After all, the Gold List had already said before that luck also accounts for a part of the reason for those on the list."

"Song Qingshu was born well and had a good father!"

"If it were any person with decent talent, having his background and origin."

"Not to mention Grand Grandmaster, they would definitely have become a Grandmaster long ago."

"You know, Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain is among the top batch of people in the Nine Provinces."

"Wudang Mountain is not as simple as it looks on the surface."

"Besides Zhang Sanfeng, there is a very powerful force hidden in the shadows!"

After Ying Ziyu finished despising Song Qingshu, he briefly introduced the situation of Wudang Mountain.

These were things he confirmed personally when he traveled the Jianghu back then and went to Wudang Mountain.

He only learned that Wudang Mountain was hiding such a huge secret after fighting those people.

Among the people he fought back then, one of them was Lu Zu!

Later, his subordinates explored Wudang Mountain inside and out and obtained more accurate news.

Thus, Ying Ziyu could be certain that Zhang Sanfeng was just a facade pushed out by those hidden in Wudang Mountain.

The real Wudang Mountain was very complex!

Otherwise, it wouldn't have controlled the Great Ming Jianghu for hundreds of years.

"If the Master hadn't said so, this servant wouldn't have known that Song Qingshu was a straw bag with a golden exterior and a rotten interior."

"And I wouldn't have known that Wudang Mountain was hiding a big secret!"

The adoration in Jiang Yuyan's eyes became even stronger.

She also made a decision to have those people behind her investigate Wudang Mountain properly. ===== CHAPTER 14 =====
