Chapter 131 Never Have Two Hearts
"No, of course I'm not..." Song Shiqi hesitated and shook his head vigorously.
He has never done anything to let his master down.
"Isn't that it? I believe you, Seventeen." Qin Ruo looked at Song Seventeen meaningfully.
There were tears in Song Shiqi's eyes. He grew up in Qingyun Sect. Even though he had been expelled from the sect for many years, he still had a deep obsession with Qingyun Sect.
When he was stripped of his martial arts and thrown out of Qingyun Sect like a dead dog on the grounds of betraying his master and harming his fellow disciples, he suddenly became confused.
In the past, he was obsessed with martial arts and almost ignored worldly affairs. After leaving Qingyun Sect, his life seemed to have lost direction.
After recovering from his injuries, he suddenly didn't want to continue to be so depressed. He wanted to seek justice for himself.
So he practiced hard day and night, and he didn't know how much suffering he went through, but in the end he finally regained his martial arts skills.
After that incident happened, none of his former fellow disciples stood up to speak for him.
Even his fiancée stood against him.
And the man in front of her was just meeting for the first time, but she said that she believed him! How could Song Shiqi not be moved?
"Okay, you can talk about those things whenever you want. I'll call Hu Zi to buy you some suitable clothes, and then we'll go meet those brats in the afternoon."
"Now that our stomachs are full, it's time to get to work." Qin Ruo smiled and changed the subject.
Si Heng mentioned the matter of Song Shiqi to her. In Qin Ruo's eyes, the so-called betrayal of the master was nothing more than a dispute over power and interests.
After using any means necessary to eliminate the most powerful opponent, is it any surprise that he is replaced by someone with ulterior motives?
Otherwise, how could it happen just before the selection of the new leader of Qingyun Sect? Song Shiqi became famous as a teenager, and at that time he was already a well-known swordsman on the Jianghu list.
As the most competitive disciple of Qingyun Sect, Song Shiqi would never do something that would only dig his own grave.
What’s strange is that the one who came out to testify against him was Song Shiqi’s fiancée.
When Song Shiqi's martial arts were stripped away and he was expelled from Qingyun Sect, it was with the tacit consent of Song Shiqi's master.
According to Si Heng, the leader of Qingyun Sect, who was also Song Shiqi's master, did not seem to be such a foolish person, unless there was a bigger conspiracy behind this.
Qin Ruo's mind worked quickly. In just a few years, Song Shiqi had mastered the abolished martial arts again.
A person who values profit over righteousness will never have such a strong character.
"No, I have it myself."
Song Shiqi leaped onto the top of the wall, then flew to the big tree in the yard and took a package from it.
He took the package and went back to his room. Not long after, he came out in a new set of clothes.
Although the clothes were a bit old and had patches on the sleeves, they looked clean.
After leaving Qingyun Sect, Song Shiqi traveled around, sleeping in the open air, and had to deal with assassinations from unknown forces from time to time.
I have been running around all these years, so how can I talk about the quality of my life?
Because he was unwilling to do anything that was against the moral principles, a man ranked fifth on the Jianghu list earned a few dollars a day by selling his physical strength.
"It turns out that Brother Song is not a real beggar." Banxia said foolishly.
"I'm sorry, Miss Qin. I had to hide the truth before. I really had no choice." Song Shiqi clasped his fists towards Qin Ruo.
"It's okay. We should be on guard against others. Take the fifty taels of silver first. You need to buy some new clothes. I don't have the habit of mistreating my friends."
Qin Ruo stuffed a silver note into Song Shiqi's hand without further ado. This was the first time she had seen such a down-and-out swordsman.
Song Shiqi did not refuse this time and accepted it frankly.
Qin Ruo briefly told Song Shiqi about her plan, and then ordered Hu Zi to call the beggars found in the house.
The group of little beggars came quickly. They had just witnessed the contest between Song Shiqi and Qin Tiaotiao. Their eyes were filled with awe and a hint of expectation.
During the time they lived in this house, they had enough meals to eat every day and a big house to live in. This was a life they had never dared to imagine before.
Now everyone is dressed neatly and wearing new clothes bought by Qingsheng and Huzi. When they go out, no one can recognize them as the little beggars they used to be.
Under Hu Zi's guidance, they lined up and took turns introducing themselves to Qin Ruo and Song Shiqi.
The youngest of these children is only eleven years old, and the oldest is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Among them are four girls who are twelve or thirteen years old.
"Listen carefully, I asked Hu Zi to find you, not to provide you with food and shelter. I am not a good man, I am just a small businessman, and I never do business at a loss. I don't keep useless people around me. You have two choices now. One is to take one or two taels of silver and leave now. The other is to choose to stay. From now on, you can only obey me. I have only one request, unconditional obedience."
After the last person introduced himself, Qin Ruo stood up and knocked on the table with an expressionless face.
The group of children at the scene looked a little nervous when they heard what Qin Ruo said, and they put their heads together and discussed in a low voice.
"When Brother Huzi came to us, he told us that if we followed the girl, we would have a chance to succeed. Is that true? I don't know what the girl wants us to do by gathering us together. I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but I will not do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth."
Among this group of people, the oldest boy was the first to stand up and met Qin Ruo's gaze without fear.
"Of course, keeping you well fed and clothed is not my goal. My goal is to make you a group of capable and prestigious people who can control their own destiny and enjoy wealth and glory." Qin Ruo's tone was firm and powerful.
The young man's eyes lit up, and without hesitation he knelt down in front of Qin Ruo.
"Jiang Wu, I wish to respect the young lady as my master and never have two hearts."
"A-Shan is capable of enduring hardships, so please beg the master to take her in. Please don't chase A-Shan away!" A girl about the same age as Banxia also stood up.
The few days she lived in this house were the days she felt most at ease.
In the past, when I went out to beg, I only dared to go to crowded places and never dared to go to other people’s doors.
Being reduced to a beggar is already a lowly status, and the living environment for women is even worse.
There is food here, and she no longer has to compete with wild dogs for food. She can also have her own bed at night, and she no longer has to worry about those people with bad intentions. She never wants to go back to the old days.
Someone took the lead, and others followed suit, and no one suggested leaving.
Qin Ruo looked at the crowd with satisfaction. These people were all eager to change their fate. As long as they were given a chance, they would go all out.
"Okay, since you have chosen to stay, you should follow your elder brother Song to learn martial arts first. When you have enough ability, I will arrange a place for you and will never let you down."
