As Song Shidao finished speaking, a grave look appeared in Fu Junzhuo's autumn-water eyes.
Although Fu Junzhuo had never met Ning Daoqi, since he and her master were both known as the Three Grandmasters, his strength was naturally among the very best in the martial world.
Yet even a Grandmaster like Ning Daoqi had suffered greatly at Cihang Jingzhai. This showed just how profound Cihang Jingzhai's foundations were.
"Haha, Young Master Song, you think too highly of Cihang Jingzhai. The Cihang Sword Canon can only be cultivated by women, which is why the current sect leader, Fan Qinghui, allowed Ning Daoqi to read it.
"That way, not only could she make Ning Daoqi suffer a backlash from the Cihang Sword Canon, but she could also make him owe Cihang Jingzhai a favor and turn him into their hired muscle."
Seeing the shocked expressions on Fu Junzhuo and the others' faces, Xiao Xie could not help but laugh.
Song Lu was briefly stunned before asking doubtfully, "Young Master Xiao, you seem very familiar with Cihang Jingzhai?"
"If we're talking about familiarity, then the head of your Song Clan should be even more familiar with Cihang Jingzhai.
"From what I know, Song Que once had a romance with Fan Qinghui. However, because their ideals and pursuits differed, they eventually went their separate ways."
At Song Lu's words, a teasing glint flashed through Xiao Xie's eyes as he revealed the story of Song Que and Fan Qinghui.
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Song Shidao could not help opening his mouth in shock.
Song Que's feelings for Fan Qinghui had always remained, but his heart was wholly devoted to the Way of the Saber.
For decades, Song Que had not dared think of Fan Qinghui, fearing that longing for her would disrupt his state of mind.
