Chapter 42 Buying People's Hearts

  "You're strange, why did I suddenly come up to Song Fa's boat?" Wang Yu asked.

  Wang Yu's real purpose for coming south this time, even if neither Zhu Yuyan nor Xiangxiang knew about it, let alone Liu Jing. However, since Liu Jing already knows that Wang Yu's target is the Song faction, then the purpose of Wang Yu's trip to the south has become obvious.

  "I dare not, the Holy Son must have a deep meaning, Liu Jing does not need to know." There are no fools in the Yin Gui faction, or rather, there are no living fools. The fact that Liu Jing was entrusted with such an important role by Dan Mei shows that she is neither lacking in martial arts nor wisdom, and she knows what to ask and what not to ask.

  Wang Yu nodded in satisfaction, and Liu Jing's quality made Wang Yu very satisfied.

  "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Take a look at this first." Wang Yu took out an object from his bosom and handed it to Liu Jing. It was the token of the leader of the Yin Gui Sect.

  Liu Jing saw the Sect Master Token and let out a long sigh of relief. With the Sect Master Token, everything would be easier to explain, and Liu Jing wouldn't have to worry about which side to stand on anymore.

  Relieved of tension, Liu Jing regained her coquettish tone: "Whatever the Holy Son says, I'll do it, what's difficult about that?"

  Wang Yu smiled and said, "Alright, no need to use your charms on me anymore. This thing is almost used on me every day, it's lost its effect long ago." This was actually the truth, as Xuanxuan had cultivated the top-notch charm of the Yin Gu Sect, and since she spent her days with Wang Yu, she naturally took him as her experimental subject. Of course, Wang Yu also enjoyed it.

  Liu Jing gave Wang Yu a resentful glance and said, "The Saintess's unparalleled beauty is of course not something that an old and faded Liu Jing like me can compare to." As expected from someone from the Yin Kuai Sect, she was quite skilled at this sort of thing. If you took it seriously, you'd lose.

  Wang Yu grabbed Liu Jin over with one hand, put her on the bed, and slapped her buttocks before letting her go, saying: "Speak properly."

  For women of the Yin Gui sect, you can only be more promiscuous than them. Otherwise, each and every one of their mouths is extremely lewd, but in reality, they won't let you gain any advantage. Wang Yu has been a disciple of the Yin Gui sect for over a decade and knows this point very well. Inside the Yin Gui sect, there are many who are good at talking big, as long as you show yourself to be even more unscrupulous, that's all.

  Liu Jing didn't quite understand Wang Yu, still thinking of him as a young man who had just started his career. Although she respected him, she was used to teasing and joking with Wang Yu. However, she didn't know that Wang Yu was a thoroughbred actionist. Never be polite to Wang Yu, especially if you're a beauty; once you exchange sweet nothings with Wang Yu, he'll take it seriously. Many beautiful women of the yin gui faction later proved this point through their own personal experiences.

  Liu Jing let out a loud "ah" of surprise, her face turning bright red as she covered her buttocks with both hands and stood up to glare at Wang Yu, saying "How could you do this?"

  Wang Yu didn't bother with courtesy and directly asked Liu Jing, who was pretending to be wronged: "Have Song Lu and Song Shidao discovered your true identity?"

  Liu Jing's face turned serious, her expression changing faster than the pages of a book. She shook her head and said, "No, neither of them has discovered it." Then Liu Jing continued, "However, Song Que should have known my identity by now, but he didn't tell Song Lu."

  Wang Yu sank into thought for a moment, and suddenly understood the crux of the matter.

  It's not surprising that with Song Que's eyesight, he could naturally see what kind of background Liu Jing came from, but he tacitly acknowledged her existence. A small Liu Jing in the Song family couldn't make any waves, and as long as Song Que was around, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

  Liu Jing is a pawn inserted by the Yin Gui faction into the Song faction, but Song Que also sees her as a pawn. When it comes to making a choice in the future, if she chooses the Yin Gui faction as an ally, Liu Jing can serve as a liaison between the two factions. If she chooses the Yin Gui faction as an enemy, she will be killed directly to demonstrate her loyalty.

  For a family like the Song, this is normal. For ordinary people, the power of the martial arts world has both good and evil. But for a family like the Song, the power of the martial arts world does not distinguish between good and evil, only between friends, enemies, and passersby.

  The world is full of bustle and turmoil, all for the sake of gain. The world is full of strife and contention, all for the sake of profit. This is especially true for aristocratic families.

  Wang Yu Neng could understand this, and Liu Jing naturally could too. Liu Jing currently completely understands her own situation, but she doesn't have any dissatisfaction. The fate of the Yin Gui Sect's disciples is like this, every single one of them has such an awakening. In fact, sects like the Yin Gui Sect have their own methods to ensure the loyalty of their disciples. In this aspect, both the Yin Gui Sect and the Ci Hang Jing Zhai are doing well. Within the sect, there may be struggles for power and profit, but it's rare for them to betray the sect.

  Looking at Liu Jing's somewhat sorrowful face, Wang Yu comforted her: "Don't worry, I guarantee that you will be Mrs. Song Lu for the rest of your life. The Song family must be an ally of the Yin Gui faction. Believe me."

  Wang Yu had already made up his mind to seek Song Que's help, but even as an ally, it was necessary to plant a mole within the Song faction. Wang Yu believed that Song Que would not object either. Since that was the case, he might as well let Liu Jing stay in the Song faction. Therefore, Wang Yu intentionally started buying people's hearts.

  Liu Jing stared blankly at Wang Yu, unsure whether to believe his words. Although she had long been prepared to sacrifice herself for the sect, who would want to die if they could live?

  Wang Yu said: "You still don't have faith in me, don't forget that I'm not just the Holy Son of the Yin Gu Sect."

  Liu Jing's eyes lit up, and she gained a lot of information from Wang Yu's words. However, Liu Jing made up her mind to keep this information to herself and not report it to the higher-ups. This wasn't because she was disloyal to the Yin Gu Sect, but rather because Wang Yu was the holy son of the Yin Gu Sect and possessed the sect's ancestral tablet, so why would Liu Jing need to be a bad person? Maybe she wouldn't gain anything from either side.

  Liu Jing hesitated for a moment and asked: "Shengzi, I heard that it was you who recommended me to come to Song's house from Danmei Elder, is that true?"

  Wang Yu didn't expect that Dan Mei had told Liu Jing about this too. Liu Jing was indeed introduced to Wang Yu by Dan Mei. As a seasoned martial arts enthusiast, Wang Yu knew that in the original work, Liu Jing was one of the four enchantresses under Yun Changlao's command who went undercover in the Yin Gui sect. In this life, since Wang Yu had long made plans, he naturally wanted to make arrangements ahead of time. Wang Yu ordered Dan Mei to take over this task, and when Dan Mei asked him who could be sent to carry out this task, Wang Yu thought for a moment before casually mentioning Liu Jing's name. After all, being remembered by Wang Yu meant that she had done a good job in the Song faction.

  Wang Yu Dao said, "It's true, your qualifications are limited, and you can't get better cultivation within the party. There are too many people like you in the Yin Gui faction, if you want to have a slightly better future, you need to choose a good task. Song Lu is not young anymore, but after all, he is the core figure of the Song faction, born into wealth and nobility. Following him won't make you suffer. Moreover, the internal situation of the Song faction is stable, with considerable power, and the Yin Gui faction will not easily start a war with the Song faction, so you are relatively safe in the Song faction. What's wrong, aren't you satisfied?"

  Liu Jing's eyes softened slightly as she listened to Wang Yu's words, and she said, "How could that be? I'm very satisfied. I was just thinking about how to repay the kindness you've shown me, Holy Son." As soon as her voice fell, Liu Jing's clothes suddenly slipped down a bit, revealing her slender neck and delicate shoulders.
