Chapter 70 Lovers Ultimately Become Siblings
Li Qinglu was dumbfounded and said, "How...how can this be? My cousin likes her cousin. Aren't you afraid she'll be unhappy with this arrangement?"
Wang Yuyan blushed and said, "Mom, don't do anything rash!"
"Marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers!"
Li Qingluo argued vehemently, "When did it become your place to decide your own marriage? Besides, Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao, those two fellow disciples, can share a husband, so why can't you? Since you refuse to teach me, I'll just do it myself. With your cousin's beauty, how could he not be tempted? All men are the same; he'll definitely give in!"
Wang Yuyan's face flushed red: "I don't want to marry my cousin's husband!"
Li Qingluo snorted, "Then who do you want to marry? Your stupid cousin? Their family is really stupid. They don't want to live a good life, they dream of being emperors all day long, but they're busy all day long, and I don't even know what they're busy with!"
At this point, her beautiful face grew even more disdainful:
"In my opinion, Qi is far more promising than him. Becoming the leader of the Beggars' Sect is a certainty, and he's married your cousin. Even if he wanted to be emperor, wouldn't it be easy for him to borrow some troops from your uncle? You've hardly ever seen a man in your life, and you treat even that good-for-nothing like a treasure!"
Wang Yuyan retorted, "My cousin doesn't resemble my father at all!"
"What happened to your father?"
Li Qingluo retorted, "His ability to win a woman's heart is his skill; a woman who follows him will be happy every day. But what about your cousin? He always looks miserable and unlucky!"
Li Qinglu nodded: "My husband once told me a story about a man named Shi Xiu, who had a brother..."
When she mentioned that Pan Qiaoyun said that she had followed Yang Xiong for two years but was not as happy as she had been with her senior brother for two days, Li Qingluo wholeheartedly agreed:
"That's what I thought after I married Old Wang."
Wang Yuyan said with a headache, "Mom, please don't do this..."
Li Qinglu smiled secretly.
Yunniang was having a hard time suppressing her laughter.
Li Qingluo said, "That's why I absolutely must cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra! If Qing'er won't teach me, I'll definitely exchange you for it! You won't lose out either; Qi Ming's character and martial arts are better than your cousin's."
Wang Yuyan turned her pleading gaze to her cousin.
Before Li Qinglu could speak, Li Qingluo snorted again, "Why are you looking at her? Even if your cousin becomes emperor, do you think he'll only marry you? She's your cousin, and you're with Qi Minghou. Would she harm you? You two will live a good life, unlike me, fighting with others for their affections and aging so quickly!"
That makes so much sense!
Wang Yuyan was unable to refute it for a moment.
The lesson of Li Qingluo.
Unless Wang Yuyan doesn't support Murong Fu becoming emperor, and if she doesn't support him, what's the difference between that and disliking him? But if she does support him, she'll have to compete with others for his favor.
This is something she doesn't like.
"elder sister."
Li Qinglu chuckled and said, "There are many good, devoted men out there. I've heard that Chief Qiao of the Beggars' Sect is quite good. When you have time, I'll have Brother Ming introduce you to him."
Li Qingluo said, "Your cousin didn't want Murong Fu, but chose Qiao Feng. Wouldn't Murong Fu be furious? Forget it! Your husband is quite good. Since you can accept Yunniang as your sister, why can't you accept your cousin? If there's a chance in the future, I'll inform your grandmother and ask her to grant you a marriage."
Li Qinglu retorted angrily, "Aunt, you just want the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, right? Here you go, don't try to play matchmaker!"
Li Qingluo said, "If I want a son-in-law, I want one too. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
"I object!"
"Mom, I object too!"
"Hmph, objections are invalid, otherwise you would be unfilial and disobedient."
"..."
When the ship docks.
The two cousins have formed an anti-Li Qingluo alliance!
Meanwhile, Master Qi was completely unaware of this and was heading to Xingzilin under the guidance of Chief Jiang.
Duan Zhengchun and his party were also heading in that direction.
***
Below Songhe Tower.
Qiao Feng sized up Qi Ming, added a "good," and then asked Chief Jiang, who was standing to the side:
"Is this Brother Qi Ming?"
Chief Jiang introduced, "It was precisely with Tai Chi that they defeated Brother Qi, who possessed all seventy-two Shaolin arts. A hundred people witnessed this inside and outside Mingyue Tower that day!"
Qi Ming laughed and said, "Chief Qiao is from Shaolin. If the branch leader says that, he's putting me on the spot."
Qiao Feng readily replied, "It's true that I come from Shaolin, but I'm truly brothers with all the heroes in the Beggars' Sect! Don't blame me for speaking frankly, brother; with your martial arts skills being so superb, what are your plans for suddenly joining my Beggars' Sect?"
Qi Ming feigned mystery: "I've recently noticed an undercurrent within the gang, and this undercurrent is closely related to a shocking secret I uncovered before. It will affect you personally, as well as the entire martial arts world. That's why I want to join the gang to investigate more thoroughly!"
Qiao Feng's expression turned serious: "Oh, what secret is it?"
He already knew that Quan Guanqing and the Fourth Elder were plotting a coup.
The latter was "justified" and didn't try to hide anything.
Qi Ming shook his head: "We can't say yet! We need a crucial and compelling piece of evidence to make our story coherent, and that evidence can only be confirmed at the upcoming Xingzilin Meeting... Chief, there's no need to overthink it. This isn't your fault; just go to the meeting!"
Qiao Feng became increasingly curious, but ultimately held back and did not ask any further questions.
So they set off together to the apricot grove they had agreed upon.
Meanwhile, some people had already arrived in the apricot grove.
For example, Kumārajīva.
He really enjoys joining in the fun.
For example, Duan Zhengchun's group and Li Qingluo's group.
Upon seeing Wang Yuyan, Duan Yu became immediately excited, kowtowing and shouting:
"Fairy Sister, Fairy Sister!"
Wang Yuyan was startled and quickly took several steps back.
Li Qingluo giggled, "What fairy sister? Yuyan is your sister!"
Duan Zhengchun exclaimed excitedly, "A'Luo, could this young lady also be...?"
Too?
Duan Yu was struck dumb.
Dao Baifeng gritted her teeth.
Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao were also speechless.
The Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling sisters were speechless.
They all loved Duan Yu, but it turned out to be his younger sister.
And the fairy-like woman that Duan Yu clearly adored turned out to be his sister...
Li Qinglu burst into laughter, saying, "My husband once said he hoped all lovers in the world would end up as siblings. I didn't believe it before, but seeing it today, I have to admit it! I'll have to listen to my husband from now on."
Duan Zhengchun pretended not to hear and smiled at Li Qingluo:
"Ah Luo, Yan'er looks just like you!"
Li Qinglu snorted, "Uncle, do you know that my aunt wants to marry my cousin to my husband? You should talk to her, otherwise your good daughter who likes Murong Fu will be crying all day long and unhappy for the rest of her life."
"Wh...what?"
Duan Zhengchun was taken aback and instinctively said, "How can this be?"
His reaction made his lovers spit in disgust.
Dao Baifeng angrily retorted, "You yourself are morally corrupt, yet you have the nerve to disagree? I agree to this marriage!"
The mistress should get lost.
The mistress's daughter should also get as far away as possible.
