There is a famous mountain in the western suburbs of Kunlun County, Kunlun Mountain.

Both Kunlun County and Kunlun Mirror are named after this mountain, and Kunlun Mirror is built right on the mountain, with a layout very similar to Tongtianque and Wuxiange.

Because Kunlun Mountain was located outside the main city of Kunlun County, after leaving Zuiyun Tower, Jing Zhe picked up Zhang Xiaoyu and flew westward. In a short while, they saw a majestic mountain standing in front of them, and the Kunlun Mirror was built at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Upon arriving at the gate, Jing Zhe introduced himself, and the Kunlun Mirror disciple guarding the gate clearly recognized his name and invited them in directly.

The layout inside the Kunlun Mirror is relatively simple. Passing through a zigzag-shaped, winding corridor, you will reach the main hall of the Kunlun Mirror.

"President Jing, please sit here for a moment."

Compared to the Right Protector of the Heaven and Earth Sect, Jing Zhe is more famous for his position as the president of the Da'an Newspaper.

"So it's President Jing!"

Before the gatekeeper had even left, Pei Chunjing's voice came in, and he followed.

"This junior greets Sect Leader Pei!"

Jing Zhe stood up, bowed, and said.

Pei Chunjing waved his hand, then strode into the main hall, sat down in the seat of honor, and said, "I've heard for a long time that you came from Jingzhou and were planning to open a branch of the Da'an Newspaper here. I've been waiting for some time but haven't heard anything yet. I didn't expect you to come at this time!"

After saying that, Pei Chunjing laughed and said, "Do you know how long we've been waiting for President Jing!"

Jing Zhe quickly cupped his hands and said, "Sect Leader Pei, you can just call me by my name. Calling me 'President Jing' all the time is just too much for me."

Pei Chunjing smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's not right! You came to Kunlun County this time to open a branch of the Da'an Newspaper, so naturally you came as the president of the Da'an Newspaper. It's reasonable to call you President Jing. Calling you anything else would be confusing."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe did not insist any further.

At this moment, Pei Chunjing glanced at the disciples in the main hall and asked, "Why hasn't Yunxi arrived yet?"

The disciple immediately replied, "Master, Senior Sister went back to her room to rest after eating. We've already sent someone to call her."

Pei Chunjing nodded after listening and said, "Since you came back from Jinxi, your fourth sister hasn't said anything, but she's been thinking about you the whole time! It used to be that your fourth sister would practice martial arts whenever she had free time, but now she just sits there in a daze. If you ask me, since you've come all this time, you can take Yunxi with you after the branch is set up. After all, Yunxi has been waiting for you for far too long!"

Jing Zhe gave an awkward laugh and then said, "This junior also attaches great importance to the Kunlun Mirror. Since Sect Leader Pei has spoken, this junior will certainly do his best and keep his word!"

Pei Chunjing glanced at him and said indifferently, "Oh? Does President Jing value our Kunlun Mirror so much? Then why are you so late?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe immediately assured him, "Sect Leader Pei, you're wronging this junior! Even if I don't value the Kunlun Mirror enough, shouldn't I at least value my fourth sister? I came straight from Jingzhou to the Kunlun Mirror with the utmost sincerity..."

"..."

Zhang Xiaoyu tugged at Jing Zhe's hand from below, as if warning him not to lie and to be careful not to be exposed, but Jing Zhe didn't care at all, patted the back of her hand, and indicated that it was okay.

"However, Jingzhou is too far from Kunlun County, and it was just after the New Year. It was freezing cold, and there was snow on the road, so it was not easy to travel. In addition, there were so many of us, more than ten carriages, so the speed was naturally slow. That's why we only arrived here today."

Whether on the road from Jingzhou to Ruzhou or from Ruzhou to Kunlun County, Jing Zhe and his convoy traveled extremely fast, with almost no delays on the road. They only stayed in Ruzhou for nearly ten days, so Jing Zhe felt that Pei Chunjing couldn't find any fault with what he said.

Is that so?

Pei Chunjing stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"It's absolutely true, Sect Leader Pei!"

Jing Zhe got even more excited: "After parting ways in Jinxi, I also missed my fourth sister very much... and Sect Leader Pei. So when I came out of Jingzhou, His Majesty originally suggested that I go to Jiangling first, but I chose to come to our Kunlun County as my first stop. I don't need to say more about how much importance I attach to the Kunlun Mirror, do I?"

"..."

Pei Chunjing didn't speak this time, but his gaze towards Jing Zhe seemed to carry a hint of amusement.

"It seems you really value this!"

"..."

Upon hearing the voice, Jing Zhe was first stunned, then his face lit up with surprise.

"Fourth Sister!"

Before anyone knew it, Pei Yunxi had arrived at the door. She had been listening to Jing Zhe's speech from the doorway.

Jing Zhe then understood why Zhang Xiaoyu had tugged at him; she probably had already seen Pei Yunxi and was afraid he would let something slip.

At this moment, Pei Yunxi was not wearing the dark blue training clothes of Kunlun Mirror, nor was she dressed as ethereal and feminine as she had when they parted ways in Jinxi last time.

Because she was already lying down, Pei Yunxi was wearing a plain cotton nightgown. Perhaps because she was in a hurry, she didn't even have time to change out of her nightgown, and just put on a coat before rushing over.

Jing Zhe thought that Pei Yunxi would be as excited as he was to see her when she saw him, but looking at the way she looked at him, she seemed excited, but why did she also seem to be gritting her teeth?

Without thinking much, he continued, "Fourth Sister is right. Because I value it, my first stop will be Kunlun Mirror!"

Jing Zhe gained a lot of experience during his trip to Ruzhou.

That's why he came to Kunlun Mirror as soon as he arrived in Kunlun County. At the same time, Pei Yunxi was looking forward to seeing him. If she knew that his first stop was to find Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu and his apprentice, and that he also recognized Zhou Ziqiong, she would probably be so jealous that she could cook several plates of dumplings!

But Pei Yunxi wasn't moved at all after hearing this. Instead, she sneered, "Is that so? Then it seems the person your sixth sister told me she saw in the letter wasn't you?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe was dumbfounded.

He never expected that Zhou Ziqiong was still in close contact with Pei Yunxi and had already written to Pei Yunxi to tell her about his trip to Ruzhou.

Looking at Zhang Xiaoyu again, she spread her hands helplessly, as if to say, "I told you to tone it down, so who can I blame?"

"Fourth Sister, do you and Sixth Sister still write letters to each other?"

Pei Yunxi sneered: "She doesn't usually write many letters, but lately she's written quite a few!"

After saying that, Pei Yunxi muttered in a voice only Jing Zhe could hear, "Who doesn't understand what she means? Isn't she just showing off to me? This little girl is too much!"

"..."
