Lu Li's words drew nods of agreement from Pei Yunxi and Jing Zhe, while Murong Xi seemed to be deep in thought.

Su Mochen glanced at Jing Zhe and said, "Elder sister, you think it's impossible because you don't know your husband's training methods."

"What training method?"

Since their parting at Mangshan, Lu Li and Jing Zhe had not seen each other for nearly half a year. In the meantime, Lu Li had heard many stories about Jing Zhe, including his becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance. She was quite curious about how he learned martial arts and how he had reached such a high level.

"His training method is..."

Su Mochen leaned close to Lu Li's ear and whispered something.

Although it seemed that all the women present, except for Lu Li, knew about Jing Zhe's training methods, Su Mochen was too embarrassed to tell them in person because Jing Zhe's training methods were too "unique".

As expected, after hearing Su Mochen's words, Jing Zhe could see that Lu Li's profile was slightly flushed. She turned her head to look at Jing Zhe, and when she found that Jing Zhe was also looking at her, she immediately turned her head back.

At this moment, Su Mochen continued, "He's only been able to cultivate to this point by taking the Jujube Pill. But I remember last time in Jinxi, Master gave you five enhanced Jujube Pills, didn't he?"

Jing Zhe nodded and then said, "But now there are only four left. Back in Jinxi, when my third sister was injured, I gave her one."

"Yes, I can testify to that."

Pei Yunxi said, "I was there at the time. Third Sister was seriously injured, but after taking this enhanced version of the Jujube Pill, not only were her disordered meridians cured, but she also successfully broke through to the sixth level. Zhe'er also broke through from the early stage of the sixth level to the middle stage of the sixth level. It's truly amazing!"

"..."

Although Pei Yunxi was stating the facts, Jing Zhe felt that her words were sarcastic. Was she blaming him for secretly tricking her away that night and then taking Qingqiu right under her nose?

Lu Li, however, had a different focus: "What, you were there when they were practicing?"

"No... how could that be? I mean... I was originally with my third sister, but he tricked me into leaving and then he and my third sister secretly practiced martial arts in the room!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent again.

"Um...that's not the point!"

Jing Zhe quickly cleared his throat twice and changed the subject, saying, "According to Mo Chen, I'm only at the initial stage of Grandmaster now, three levels away from the Great Perfection. Moreover, I've already crossed a heavy threshold. Even if it were an enhanced version of the pill, it probably wouldn't be very effective, right?"

From the initial stage of Grandmaster to the Great Perfection, Jing Zhe still needs to break through to the intermediate stage of Grandmaster, then the peak stage of Grandmaster, and finally the Great Perfection. All in all, he needs to go through three stages, which is very difficult.

Su Mochen said, "It is indeed difficult. Three people, three enhanced jujube pills, that means we have to make sure each of you breaks through a level. But, besides the enhanced jujube pills, do we have any other ways to help you break through faster?"

"..."

Seeing Jing Zhe shake his head, Su Mochen continued, "See? There's no way, right? So if you want to quickly achieve perfection, this is the only way! Even if the hope is slim, we have to try it, even if it's a desperate measure!"

"..."

After Su Mochen finished speaking, the scene fell silent again, because everyone was not stupid and knew that this "try it out" actually meant that Su Mochen, along with Lu Li and Pei Yunxi, would fight Jing Zhe in a physical battle.

Of course, it could only be the three of them. After all, both Murong Xi and Liu Jinghong had already engaged in physical combat with Jing Zhe, especially Murong Xi, who was now pregnant.

Jing Zhe, on the other hand, was extremely excited.

Su Mochen and Pei Yunxi, although they haven't had a relationship yet, it's only a matter of time. Jing Zhe is just a little excited, but what about Lu Li?

Jing Zhe had the desire but not the courage to do anything to Lu Li. Even if they met again this time, Jing Zhe couldn't think of a good way to deal with her. So now that there was a way to skip the process and go straight to the goal, how could Jing Zhe not be excited?

But he still said aloud, "Mo Chen, this seems... not quite right?"

"Not good? How is it not good?"

Su Mochen retorted, "I will be your woman sooner or later, so this kind of thing was bound to happen sooner or later. I didn't give it to you before because I wanted to wait until the day we were actually married. After all, I am a princess, and even if I don't care, my father will. But now that my father is gone, I don't need to care about other people's opinions. Besides, this method can also help everyone get revenge, so why not?"

"..."

Su Mochen's statement was indeed irrefutable. Jing Zhe subtly gestured to the side, and Su Mochen immediately understood, asking, "Fourth Sister wouldn't be unwilling, would she? Does Fourth Sister not like him?"

Pei Yunxi immediately shook her head: "Who said I'm unwilling? Zhe'er and I almost... Now that this opportunity has come, I don't want to let it slip by!"

Since everyone here is Jing Zhe's woman, Pei Yunxi wasn't too reserved and spoke directly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the pressure instantly fell on Lu Li, and everyone's eyes turned to her.

"..."

Lu Li's face flushed again, and she lowered her head.

"Big sister, what about you?"

"I…"

Lu Li hesitated for a moment, because there were some things she was too embarrassed to say.

Although she and Jing Zhe had spent some time together, she used to beat him up all the time, and Jing Zhe was more afraid of her. Even if something were to happen between them, that would be something for the future. Would it be too abrupt to just do *that* now?

"It seems that eldest sister is unwilling!"

Su Mochen suddenly understood and said, "I see. Then it'll just be my fourth sister and I practicing with you. Even if you don't reach the Great Perfection realm, there's nothing we can do, since it's just the two of us! If you end up fighting those two, husband, you must be careful..."

"I didn't say I didn't want to!"

Su Mochen was clever; his strategy of retreating to advance made Lu Li panic instantly.

Lu Li's feelings for Jing Zhe were also very complicated, but to say it was love was perhaps too early, but she did not reject Jing Zhe's feelings.

In fact, this alone is incredibly valuable.

It should be noted that Lu Li's personality is even colder than Qing Qiu's. She is indifferent to all women, let alone men. Therefore, compared to her, Jing Zhe is already quite favored.

Moreover, this matter involves not only romantic love, but also Jing Zhe's safety and whether he can take revenge.

He risked his life for the sake of avenging his parents, so what do I have to worry about?

Lu Li thought to herself.
