Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 406: The Sheepherding Girl

‘This Miss Shui…is from the south of the Yangtze River…could she be Shui Sheng?’ Song Qingshuʼs expression suddenly became very strange. The surname Shui was rare to begin with, not to mention the incident was related to the Blood Saber Elder.

Song Qingshu endlessly complained in his heart, ‘This butterfly effect has quite a big impact. I ended up rescuing Di Yun from the prison in advance, and then he joined the Pole Arms in Yanjing City. Naturally, he had no chance to meet Shui Sheng, which triggered the plot of the Snow Valley in the original work. However, the power of the world to mend its flow is really strong. Even without that event, Shui Sheng was still kidnapped by the Blood Saber Elder!’ (G: Shui Sheng first appeared in Chapter 51. The plotline is from the novel, A Deadly Secret.)

Thinking of the unruly and willful girl from the past, Song Qingshu showed a nostalgic smile. After all, she was destined to be his maid, so he couldnʼt really let her be ruined by the Blood Saber Elder. So he quickly asked, ”When was Miss Shui kidnapped by the Blood Saber Elder?”

Facing Song Qingshu, the soldier was not as patient as he was with Ajiu. When he thought that this guy was the beautiful fairyʼs man, he couldnʼt help showing an envious look, and said, ”It was midnight last night, itʼs already been more than ten hours.”

After asking about the direction Shui Jian and the others were chasing, Song Qingshu pulled Ajiu aside and whispered, ”Ajiu, since this is the situation, I will help Shui Jian and the others to rescue his niece. It will definitely help us in our negotiation afterwards.”

”Itʼs been so long, is it not too late already?” Ajiu pouted and couldnʼt help complaining, ”Itʼs all your fault. I wanted to meet them early, but you had to…do that to me. Now look what happened!”

”I never knew something like this would happen!” Song Qingshu said angrily, ”But with my Qinggong, it wouldn’t be impossible to catch up with them. Ajiu, you go back first, and when Qingqing comes back, you can tell her about what happened here. Iʼll come back as soon as possible.”

”Okay, then be careful.” Ajiu wanted to go with him, but as soon as she moved a little, she felt a numb and sore feeling between her legs. She was also really tired. Then she couldnʼt help but think of the person who was the culprit, and glared at Song Qingshu fiercely.

”Donʼt worry, it’s just the measly Blood Saber Elder, what can he do to me?” Song Qingshu smiled confidently, ”Then Iʼll be leaving first.”

”Alright.” Ajiu nodded , and seeing Song Qingshu taking a casual step and appearing dozens of feet away, she couldnʼt help but think, ‘I didnʼt expect Song Langʼs Qinggong to have reached such a realm.’

Ajiu, who had inherited various martial art skills of the Iron Sword Sect, has always been reliant on her Qinggong. Now that she got to witness the huge gap between the two, she felt a little disappointed but also a little proud.

Song Qingshu elegantly sped through the road, searching for traces of the Blood Saber Elder and his persuers.

As he searched, he also secretly thought in his heart, ‘Shui Jian and the others chased after the Blood Saber Elder as soon as he took Shui Sheng. So there is a good chance that the Blood Saber Elder didn’t have the time to harm Shui Sheng. She should be safe for now. But,if he changed direction and escaped, then it’ll be a pity…’

Thinking of that, Song Qingshu couldnʼt help but think of Li Qiushuiʼs soul searching through voice transmission in ”Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils”. If he knew how to do that, it would’ve been much easier to find them now.

At this point, Song Qingshu could only choose the stupidest method. He estimated their location based on the furthest a horse could run during this period of time. If he couldnʼt catch up before then, it would prove that he was heading in the wrong direction. Then he would start in another direction again.

If a car traveled at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour and set off an hour early. Then another car traveled at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour after that. How long would it take for the later car to catch up with the previous car?

The calculation problems he learned in school appeared in his mind, and Song Qingshu suddenly looked depressed. He didnʼt expect that he wouldn’t be able to escape from doing homework even after traveling through worlds.

Anyways, his hard work paid off, and after Song Qingshu racked his brains and made precise calculations, he finally discovered the traces of the Blood Saber Elder and the others in a valley.

”You are not a human… you are a demon… just kill me…” The desperate and sad cry of a girl came from the wind and snow.

Song Qingshu felt cold in his heart, ‘Am I too late?’

Then he saw a ball of fire in the distance, surrounded by two figures, one was the Blood Saber Elder he had seen in the past, and the other was a thin old man with a goatee on his chin.

There was a girl lying on the ground, with tears in her eyes—it was none other than Shui Sheng!

”How can I be willing to kill such a delicate beauty like you? I will serve you well after I am finished this whole roasted lamb meal.” The Blood Saber Elder said with a smile, deliberately accentuating the pronunciation of the word ”serve”, with a tone full of obscenity.

”Niece Shui, just follow the will of our elder, and donʼt be a fool. Our elder have incredible skills. Even when it was one against four, he defeated your uncle as well. Where can you find such a heroic man be in the world?” The old man with the goatee said with a flattering look on his face.

”Bah, you surnamed Hua, you are so shameless. It is in vain that my father, Uncle Lu, and Uncle Liu called you their friend. In the end, you are just a shameless coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death.” Shui Sheng spat fiercely, her small chest rose and fell sharply; obviously she was extremely excited.

Seeing the shameful look on the goatee old manʼs face, the Blood Saber Elder laughed, ”Master Hua, what does a little girl like her know? As the saying goes, clever birds choose sturdy trees to roost. Now, in order to dominate the world, Mongolia is recruiting people with talent. With Master Huaʼs martial arts skills and reputation in the Jiangnan martial arts world, coupled with this ones recommendation in front of Prince Alibuge, you will definitely be accepted in our camp. Wouldnʼt it be better to become a marquis and become a general in the future than to be someone mediocre in the martial arts world? ”

”Yes, yes, what the elder said is true!” The old man with the goatee nodded and agreed, the shame on his face disappeared, replaced by a lust for power.

‘It seems that this goatee is Hua Tiegan from “A Deadly Secretʼs ”Luohua Liushui”. Could it be that the incident in the Snow Valley from the original work is happening again?

Of the four masters, Lu Tianshu, Liu Chengfeng, and Shui Dai died tragically one by one, and only Hua Tiegan begged for mercy from the Blood Saber Elder, and managed to save his life.

But according to what the soldier guarding the gate said, in addition to Luohua Liushui, there were also Shui Jian and a few other masters chasing after the Blood Saber Elder. Could it be that they were all killed by the Blood Saber Elder? How can that be!’(G: The ”Luohua Liushui” (falling petals and flowing water) is a group of four martial artists from orthodox schools.)

Song Qingshu was secretly surprised, and was about to jump out to save Shui Sheng when he suddenly heard a sweet voice.

”Monk, did you kill my sheep?”

Song Qingshu looked around and saw a girl in a light green dress looking angrily at the Blood Saber Elder, and he suddenly felt strange in his heart, ‘When did this girl appear there? Why didnʼt I notice it at all?’

The Blood Saber Elder also looked up and down at this girl in green clothes.

The girl had a oval face, long eyelashes, big eyes, fair skin—culminating in a very beautiful appearance.

The Blood Saber Elder suddenly smiled proudly, ”He heh, I have been very lucky recently! Who knew that I would find such a charming girl again. Pretty girl, it looks like you’ll need to eat more mutton to replenish your health later.”

Looking at the sheep that was being roasted on the bonfire, the girl was even more angry, ”Why did you kill my sheep?”

The Blood Saber Elder chuckled and didn’t answer. He raised the saber and approached the girl step by step. Then suddenly, he aimed the tip of his saber towards her belt.

The girl had a slender figure and she looked so delicate that there was no chance she’d have any real strength in her body.

Song Qingshu couldn’t stay still any longer and he quickly jumped to her side, hugged her slender waist and stepped back a few feet, avoiding the extremely subtle attack of the Blood Saber Elder.

”Be careful. This monk is not a good person. He kills people without blinking an eye, let alone your sheep.”
