Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 309 Song Que: Qinghui, you underestimate the Sui Emperor!
"Brother Song, are you still willing to help me?"

Fan Qinghui gazed intently at Song Que, her expression filled with helplessness, which made Song Que feel very uncomfortable.

He knew Fan Qinghui's character; she would never ask for favors easily.

However, now, after losing contact with him for many years, Fan Qinghui has come to him again to ask for his help.

This left Song Que with mixed feelings, and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes as he asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Help me stop the Grandmasters around the Sui Emperor and create an opportunity for me to kill him. That's enough."

Fan Qinghui was overjoyed. Hearing Song Que's words, she knew that there was hope for this matter.

However, Song Que's reaction to her words was beyond her expectations.

"Brother Song is unwilling?" Fan Qinghui's joy faltered, and her heart sank when she saw Song Que shake his head.

“Qinghui, you can’t kill the Sui Emperor.” Song Que shook his head.

"How could I not kill him? As long as Brother Song helps me to keep the Grandmaster by the side of the Sui Emperor occupied, I will be able to kill the Sui Emperor and save the people of the world from their suffering."

Fan Qinghui did not say that she was avenging the five great masters of Buddhism, nor that she was doing it for the future of Buddhism. Instead, she used the excuse of saving the people to try to persuade Song Que.

But Song Que still shook his head. Fan Qinghui bit her lip and pressed, "Why?"

“You underestimate the Sui Emperor!” Song Que said.

"Underestimate? No, ever since the five masters died in the capital, I have never dared to show any contempt for that Sui Emperor!"

Brother Song, this time I persuaded Ning Daoqi, the number one free spirit in the world, that he can suppress the evil king Shi Zhixuan for me!

"Plus Brother Song and me, even if that mysterious expert beside Emperor Sui is a Grandmaster, he can't protect Emperor Sui!"

Fan Qinghui also told Ning Daoqi about how she had persuaded him, and she thought to herself that asking two grandmasters to deal with the Sui Emperor was already the greatest honor she could bestow.

It's definitely not something to be underestimated!

"You actually managed to persuade Ning Daoqi, a recluse of the Daoist sect, to come?!" Song Que exclaimed in surprise.

Ning Daoqi is the number one figure in the Daoist sect and the number one figure in the Central Plains.

Fan Qinghui was the leader of Buddhism, and the Sui emperor's plan to suppress Buddhism was actually a good thing for Taoism.

But Ning Daoqi actually agreed to intervene and stop the Sui Emperor from continuing to target Buddhism.

This is completely against the interests of the Taoist sect.

“Years ago, Ning Daoqi owed my Cihang Jingzhai a great favor, and I used this to persuade him to help.”

Fan Qinghui did not hide anything and told Song Que about it as well.

"I see." Song Que nodded. It was no easy feat to make Ning Daoqi owe such a huge favor.

The other party was also trustworthy, and was even willing to go against the interests of the Taoist sect to prevent the demise of the Buddhist sect because of this matter.

As expected, she was still the Qinghui he knew, as outstanding as ever, possessing extraordinary skills.

"Brother Song, if we join forces, along with Ning Daoqi, Emperor Sui will definitely be doomed."

Once the Sui Emperor dies, the empire will descend into chaos. This will be the perfect opportunity for your Song clan to expand beyond Lingnan and establish a foothold in the Central Plains.

Although Fan Qinghui did not quite agree with Song Que's path of restoring a purely Han Chinese dynasty, she could use this matter to lure Song Que into making a move.

This could be considered taking advantage of her, but Fan Qinghui didn't care about that.

All she wanted was for Buddhism to continue to exist and for her to avenge the many Buddhist compatriots who had died.

She absolutely had to kill the Sui Emperor!

No one can stop this!
She was willing to use Song Que even if it meant taking advantage of him!

"Qinghui, the Sui Emperor is not so easy to deal with. You're oversimplifying things." Song Que shook his head slightly.

These words made Fan Qinghui frown. She asked in confusion, "Is Brother Song afraid of the Sui Emperor?"

"After all these years operating in Lingnan, have you completely lost your former vigor?"

Why does Qinghui need to provoke me?

Song Que gave a wry smile, then straightened his face, his eyes arrogant, and said in a firm and powerful voice:

"In my entire life, from my debut to the present, I, Song Que, have never suffered a defeat, nor have I ever feared anyone."

"Then why is Brother Song unwilling to help me?" Fan Qinghui asked, puzzled.

Even after she pleaded with him so earnestly, revealed her trump card, and tempted him with the opportunity to conquer the world, Song Que remained unmoved.

This puzzled him greatly.

"Qinghui, as I just said, you still underestimated the Sui Emperor."

Song Que no longer concealed anything and said in a deep voice, "The Sui Emperor is far from being as despicable as you think. He is the one who is hiding the truth the most."

The one who killed Kong that day wasn't some mysterious master, but the Sui Emperor himself!

"What!?" Fan Qinghui was full of surprise, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"Brother Song, you're saying the Sui Emperor killed Master Kong? How could he possibly have killed Kong!" Fan Qinghui found it hard to believe.

"The Sui Emperor you know could not have done it, but he hid his strength."

In fact, he is very strong, having reached the level of a grandmaster in martial arts, and possesses astonishing swordsmanship skills.

Song Que's words left Fan Qinghui even more bewildered.

The Sui Emperor was a Grandmaster?!
how can that be!

That licentious, tyrannical, and pleasure-seeking Sui emperor, who only knew how to waste money and lives, would be the martial arts grandmaster that countless martial arts practitioners aspired to be!
absurd!

One word popped into her mind.

This is ridiculous!
However, since the news came from Song Que, it was hard for Fan Qinghui not to believe it.

"How did Brother Song know that the Sui Emperor was a Grandmaster?" Fan Qinghui asked.

Song Que said calmly, "I once clashed with him in terms of the true meaning of martial arts. That sword intent was very domineering, arrogant and supreme, with the might of an emperor. Such a will could be found only by the Sui Emperor himself."

Who is capable of possessing this skill?

He recounted his various speculations, as well as the exchange between sword intent and saber intent that took place.

Based on various pieces of information, it was deduced that the Sui Emperor was the Grand Master.

"But all of this can only be considered Brother Song's speculation."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qinghui realized that there was no direct evidence to prove that the Sui Emperor was indeed the Grand Master.

"I cultivate sword techniques, created my own Heavenly Blade, and comprehend the Dao of Heaven. This feeling can't be wrong!"

Song Que was certain; he was very confident in his intuition and knew he was absolutely right.

Seeing this, Fan Qinghui gradually came to believe Song Que's judgment.

"Emperor Sui! What a shrewd emperor! He was truly a master of deception, almost manipulating everyone in the world at will!"

Fan Qinghui gritted her teeth, harboring extreme hatred for the Sui Emperor.

At the same time, he was also alarmed by the Sui Emperor's hidden intentions and felt a sense of fear.

If Song Que's judgment is correct, then the Sui Emperor is truly terrifying.

Without making a sound, one can become one of the strongest in the world.

“So, Qinghui, you can’t kill a powerful figure like the Sui Emperor,” Song Que said.

Fan Qinghui fell silent.

Song Que's words were cruel, but also realistic.

Emperor Sui was no ordinary person; he was a grandmaster of martial arts, the strongest in the world.

Even if two grandmasters of the same level were to fight, it would be very difficult to kill each other.

So Song Que was right, she couldn't kill the Sui Emperor.

Such beings are not so easy to kill.

Killing the Sui Emperor has become extremely difficult.

Fan Qinghui's heart sank to the bottom of the sea, feeling incredibly heavy. The Sui Emperor himself was a Grandmaster, meaning that even if he could persuade Song Que, it would be difficult to kill him.

Moreover, since Song Que said so, it means that he was not confident that he could kill the Sui Emperor.

After realizing this, Fan Qinghui left the Song Clan in a daze.

Song Que felt a deep sorrow looking at Fan Qinghui like this. He wanted to keep her with him, but he knew he couldn't.

He could only watch as the other person left, secretly heartbroken.

Seeing Fan Qinghui leave looking dejected, Song Zhi entered the Sharpening Hall with a curious expression, wanting to ask Song Que what had happened.

But Song Que simply waved his hand and said, "Don't ask. Let me have some peace and quiet."

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment; he rarely saw his elder brother's emotions fluctuate so much.

That woman had such a great influence on my elder brother.

Song Zhi was very surprised, but he didn't say anything more.

He wisely left the Sharpening Hall again.
