Chapter 3423 — Why Is Your Face So Pale?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Still, given Song Lingwei's level of strength, if she were to face Wei Zhao, Qiu Lingshan genuinely feared he might not be her match. Seeing her give up, Qiu Lingshan finally let out a breath of relief. But before she could relax for even a few minutes, Song Lingwei finished recounting her own affairs and suddenly asked, "Sis, didn't you always say that if you found a good man, you'd let me have him first? How come you're not bringing it up this time?"
"Huh?" Qiu Lingshan was struck dumb on the spot. That was something said in childhood play—how could it count for anything? All these years later, Song Lingwei could still remember it; her memory was truly astonishing. Feeling somewhat awkward, she said, "Xiao Rui, why do you still remember that? It was all a joke—you actually took it seriously?"
"Yes, yes, of course I took it seriously!" Song Lingwei said. "I haven't had a boyfriend all these years precisely because I've been waiting for you to introduce me to one!"
"Well... his strength isn't as high as yours; he's not suited to you..." Qiu Lingshan could only say this. Otherwise, surely she couldn't say, "Fine, I'll hand Wei Zhao over to you"? Given her sister's temperament, she might very well dare to take him up on it!
"That's not necessarily so. You made him sound incomparably formidable before—said he had no rival in the Central Plains cultivation world. I think he could definitely protect me!" Song Lingwei said.
"Well... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I was just boasting; in reality he's not that formidable..." At this point Qiu Lingshan could only belittle Wei Zhao.
"Hehe... Sis, are you afraid I'll steal my brother-in-law away, so you've started running him down? Trying to pull the wool over my eyes?" Song Lingwei could hardly fail to see Qiu Lingshan's intent, and called her out directly.
"Well..." Qiu Lingshan had a real headache when it came to her little sister. "That's not it either. How about this—if you like him, then I'll share him with you. It's not as if your brother-in-law only has me for a girlfriend anyway!"
Simply put, Qiu Lingshan stopped arguing. She understood Song Lingwei's character: the more you forbade her to do something, the more determined she became to do it—just like when they were children, when Song Lingwei could never cultivate true qi. The family had intended to raise her as an ordinary young lady and then marry her off to another clan.
But Song Lingwei wanted none of it. She went abroad alone and joined a mercenary organization, hoping to break through by way of external cultivation—and unexpectedly, over all these years, she had truly made a great name for herself!
"Huh?" Song Lingwei was taken aback. "What? He has other girlfriends?"
"Yes. I'm merely the third," Qiu Lingshan said. "If you're willing to be the fourth, fifth, seventh, or eighth, you're welcome to. I don't mind either way!"
"Sis, you're a Song Lingwei's sister, no less—the sister of a grand-master at the peak of the late Heaven Rank! How could you pick a man like that? Our Song family may have been weak in the past, but now you have me and Second Grandfather. Second Grandfather is also a grand-master at the peak of the late Heaven Rank—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say our Song family could be promoted straight to an ancient clan!" Song Lingwei grew anxious upon hearing this.
"Xiao Rui, you can't put it that way. First, I love him, and he meets my standards for a partner—he's stronger than I am. Second, when our Song family was in trouble, it was he who helped." Qiu Lingshan said, "So let's not bring this up again. I have my choice, and I hope you can respect your sister's choice."
"That... but we clearly agreed that he had to be stronger than both of us sisters! How can you just stop caring about me?" Song Lingwei said.
