"What backup plan could there be?"

Jing Zhe felt that Wang Yingqiu's words made sense, but he really couldn't think of anything else the Prince of Jin could do besides sending Qiu Qianqian to fight.

"Never mind, let's just deal with whatever comes our way! Anyway, I'm determined to win this martial arts tournament!"

Jing Zhe said domineeringly, then cupped his hands to the two women and said, "I will be participating in the martial arts tournament tomorrow. I hope that you two ladies will be so kind as to give me some pointers and practice with me for another night!"

Another training session?

Another night of practice?

Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu exchanged a glance, both receiving confirmation from each other's eyes, and then said gently in unison, "Get out!"

"..."

Although he stopped practicing his martial arts, Jing Zhe still managed to get his hands on the two women, which made them playfully scold him and chase him away.

"Young master, is it done?"

When Bai Lu saw Jing Zhe come out, she immediately asked him a question.

"What do you mean 'that's it'? Was it a very short time?"

Jing Zhe said with dissatisfaction.

Bai Lu gave an awkward smile, then looked around and, seeing that Wang Yingqiu was not there, asked curiously, "Where is our garden owner?"

"Ah... Yuanzhu? She's out at the party, she's afraid of being recognized!"

"Yes, young master, please hurry to the front hall. Our sect leader hasn't come out yet, so don't let her bump into you!"

"It's too late, I won't stay here tonight, lest someone see me, it would be bad for my reputation!"

After Jing Zhe finished speaking, he bid farewell to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu watched Jing Zhe's hurried departure, tilting her head, her eyes flickering, lost in thought.

After finishing his rice bowl, Jing Zhe didn't choose to stay overnight—he felt that if he insisted, he could definitely have another meal that night.

However, he had to attend another grand banquet, so after leaving Wuxian Pavilion, Jing Zhe headed straight for Changsheng Mountain under the bright moonlight.

...

After returning to Tongtianque and having some food, Qiu Qianqian wandered off alone to the secluded place behind the mountain, a place that belonged to her alone within Tongtianque.

The seemingly nonsensical things Jing Zhe said to her as he left the arena might be incomprehensible to others, but she understood them instantly.

Isn't it just about making her wait for him in the back mountain in the middle of the night?

This bastard... He dared to ask me out like that in front of so many people, wasn't he afraid that others would find out?

Qiu Qianqian thought bitterly, but for some reason, the thought of him coming that night warmed her heart.

snort!

Don't be fooled by his sweet words!

Qiu Qianqian pouted in dissatisfaction. She had too many questions for him today. Was Pei Yunxi really his fourth sister? What was his relationship with Mu Qingren? And most importantly, how could he participate in the martial arts tournament?

She had made up her mind; once he arrived, she would make him explain all these issues clearly, otherwise she absolutely wouldn't let him have sex with her.

Hmm~ Why would I have such a strange thought?

Does he have to sleep with me just because he comes here?

Qiu Qianqian shook her head, feeling that her thoughts were strange, but she still comforted herself, "I just want to practice my skills..."

She stood outside waiting and waiting, until it got dark and the moon climbed high in the sky, but Jing Zhe still hadn't come. Bored, she went inside to lie down, but the erotic scene that had happened on this bed a few days ago kept replaying in her mind, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Forget it, I'll just wait outside!

After waiting for who knows how long, Qiu Qianqian was starting to wonder if she was overthinking things when suddenly she heard a sound coming from the bottom of the cliff in front of her.

Qiu Qianqian was startled and reached for the Moon Departure Sword at her waist.

Although Qiu Qianqian lived in the back mountain, which was very close to the bottom of the cliff, she had never gone down there because it was a forbidden area of ​​Tongtianque, and even her master dared not go down there.

People who come up from there are definitely not good people!

Just as Qiu Qianqian was on high alert, she saw the figure flying up from the bottom of the mountain becoming clearer and clearer, and more and more familiar.

My body gradually relaxed, but I became even more confused.

How did he get up from there?

"Qianqian~"

Jing Zhe saw Qiu Qianqian standing prettily outside waiting for him from afar, and his heart was filled with joy.

He flew over late at night, hesitated for a moment, but still chose to take a shortcut, flying directly from the forbidden area at the foot of the mountain.

The two monsters of Tongtian were dead, and the forbidden area was no longer dangerous, but the thought of the bloody scene during the day still made Jing Zhe's scalp tingle. So when he flew through the forbidden area, he went as fast as he could.

"How...did you get here?"

"This road is closer, and I couldn't wait to see Qianqian, so of course I came from this side!"

"Smooth-talking, never serious!"

"I'm perfectly normal!"

Jing Zhe shrugged.

"Pah! I'm talking to you about serious matters!"

Qiu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and asked suspiciously, "Do you know what's down there?"

"The forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Palace?"

"Knowing that, you still dared to come from there?"

Qiu Qianqian's eyes widened.

Jing Zhe chuckled and said, "You didn't dare before, but from today onwards you will!"

As he spoke, Jing Zhe pulled Qiu Qianqian into the house: "Come on, Qianqian, I'll show you something good!"

Qiu Qianqian was completely bewildered. After being pulled into the house by Jing Zhe, she saw him reaching for his crotch. Her face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she spat out a curse.

"Don't you have anything important to do? You just...show me that?"

At this moment, Jing Zhe took out the martial arts manual that Er Guai had given him from the cloth bag at his waist.

Because his arms were stuffed full, he had to tuck the martial arts manual down to his waist. Because the movement of reaching down to his waist was so low, it gave people the illusion that he was reaching into his crotch.

Which one to look at?

When Qiu Qianqian saw that what Jing Zhe pulled out wasn't the bad thing she had imagined, her face turned even redder, and she stammered, "It's...it's this thing!"

"Hmm, this is a good thing!"

Jing Zhe handed it over with a look of excitement.

"What kind of good stuff is this?"

Qiu Qianqian muttered to herself, still thinking that this thing wasn't as good as the one she had in mind!

After she took it and glanced at it, her eyes suddenly widened. She flipped through a few pages, looked up at Jing Zhe, and asked, "Where did you get this martial arts manual?"

Jing Zhe smiled smugly: "There's more than just this in the forbidden area!"

As he spoke, he took out the Half-Moon Powder and the antidote and showed them to Qiu Qianqian, "Take a look at this too!"

"Half-Moon Powder...and an antidote?"

Jing Zhe nodded and recounted how he killed the Tongtian Twin Monsters and obtained these items from them. As for why he killed the Tongtian Twin Monsters, Jing Zhe did not mention Mu Qingren, but said that he had mistakenly entered the forbidden area and was chased by the Tongtian Twin Monsters, so he had no choice but to use a special method to kill them.

Qiu Qianqian's expression turned strange after hearing this.

She never imagined that Jing Zhe, who was only at the fifth level of cultivation when they last met, could kill two grandmasters. More importantly, those were her own ancestor!

Seemingly guessing Qiu Qianqian's thoughts, Jing Zhe said, "Qianqian, your two patriarchs, just like your sect leader, were no good people. They deserved to die!"

"Just because they hid all the martial arts manuals?"

Qiu Qianqian asked in a calm voice.
