As dawn broke, the disciples of Qingyun Sect would soon wake up, so the two lingered for a while longer before Jing Zhe got up, dressed, kissed Qingqiu on the forehead, and went to the door to leave.

Before opening the door, she reminded Qingqiu, "Third Sister, you don't need to go to the martial arts arena today. Get some rest!"

Qingqiu stubbornly shook her head and put the same clothes back on: "No, I have to go and take a look."

Although I felt that Jing Zhe's level was definitely higher than Lin Qingshan's, I still felt uneasy if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Jing Zhe stopped trying to persuade her. When he saw Qingqiu wearing a thin coat and preparing to find other clothes, his face lit up with joy: "Third Sister, let me help you get them!"

After he finished speaking, he did not move. Instead, he stretched out his hand, felt the powerful true energy surging within his body, and then gathered it little by little in his hand. Lin Qingshan, who was at the middle stage of the sixth level, could "control the sword with qi" and manipulate the true energy externally. Jing Zhe, who was at the same level, naturally wanted to try it as well.

As his true energy manifested externally, even though it was invisible, Jing Zhe could feel it being grasped in his palm. He pushed it forward, then silently recited a mantra, and raised his hand upward—

He didn't get the clothes, but he did manage to "take" the thin garment Qingqiu was wearing, exposing her alluring upper body to the air once again, making people drool.

"It was purely an accident, Third Sister!"

Jing Zhe quickly explained.

After all, it's only the beginning of using true qi externalization, so it's understandable and reasonable that some unexpected things might happen!

Qingqiu comforted herself in this way, without saying much, but glared at Jing Zhe and then took the thin clothes and put them on.

So Jing Zhe tried again…

The thin autumn clothes were taken off again...

After repeating this three or four times, Qingqiu simply stopped trying to get it. Her face flushed slightly, showing signs of anger, and she put her hands on her hips, saying:

"I think you're doing this on purpose!"

"Third Sister, you have to believe me!"

Her towering breasts trembled with her anger, and Jing Zhe couldn't help but swallow hard.

"It really wasn't intentional!"

"Pah, wasn't that intentional?"

Seeing Jing Zhe's expression, Qing Qiu felt even more annoyed and said, "Come here!"

Seeing Qingqiu's restless hands, how could Jing Zhe dare to linger?

"Third sister, I still have a martial arts competition today, so I won't stay any longer!"

After saying that, he opened the door, closed it again, and slipped away like a whirlwind.

Seeing this, Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled slightly.

...

Qingqiu was, after all, a martial arts prodigy with a body much stronger than that of an ordinary person. So even though it was the first, second, and third time, and each time it lasted longer and was more intense, after she got out of bed, apart from walking a little strangely at the beginning, everything else was normal.

In particular, her face was more radiant than ever before, making people want to take another look.

When the Qingyun Sect arrived at the arena, chaos erupted.

Upon inquiring, it was learned that Long Aodi of the Kunlun Sect was seriously injured. After being taken back by his master Guan Yanji, he could not be saved and died in the early hours of this morning.

Seeing his most prized disciple gone, Guan Yanji couldn't swallow his anger, so he brought his men to talk to Jing Zhe, but unfortunately Jing Zhe hadn't arrived yet.

At this moment, Pei Yunxi walked over, looked Qingqiu up and down without saying a word, only making two "tsk tsk" sounds, then crossed her arms and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"You've been practicing martial arts?"

Qingqiu blushed and quickly shook her head.

"Ha, still saying you didn't!"

Yesterday, Pei Yunxi felt that Qingqiu lacked an ethereal quality, but today she felt that Qingqiu had gained something. After careful observation, through her charming eyes and blushing face, Pei Yunxi finally confirmed that what she gained was femininity.

Although she didn't have it, that didn't prevent her from knowing.

And you still say you haven't practiced martial arts?

She would never believe it, no matter what!

"There was nothing to begin with. Zhe'er was just... healing my wounds!"

Qingqiu stubbornly argued her case.

"Healing?"

Pei Yunxi placed her hand on Qingqiu's wrist, then suddenly looked shocked: "Your injury is completely healed?"

Qingqiu nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's all thanks to Zhe'er! He helped me heal all night yesterday, that's why I'm all better!"

"You...practiced your skills all night?"

Pei Yunxi said incredulously.

Qingqiu, whose expression had just eased somewhat, nearly choked upon hearing this: "Didn't you say you were going to heal your wounds?"

"Hehe, does Third Sister really think I'm a three-year-old?"

Pei Yunxi scoffed, "If I remember correctly, you've been at the peak of the fifth level for quite a while now, haven't you? You've always wanted to find an opportunity to break through, but in the end, nothing came of it. And now you've broken through in just one night. You say you haven't practiced? I don't believe it even if you beat me to death!"

"As for healing... is his technique really that miraculous? It even heals injuries while you're practicing..."

Pei Yunxi muttered to herself, while Qingqiu beside her felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

It has to be said that Pei Yunxi is too smart; at least in this matter, Qingqiu is no match for her.

I might as well shut up and say nothing.

After that, no matter what Pei Yunxi asked, Qingqiu kept quiet. Helpless, Pei Yunxi could only leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw out a remark: "Hmph, after today's martial arts competition, I'll drag Zhe'er to Kunlun Mirror. You won't talk, huh? I'll make him talk!"

"..."

...

It was already past Chen Shi (7-9 AM), but Jing Zhe had still not appeared.

The scene gradually descended into chaos. Guan Yanji was still waiting for Jing Zhe to appear and demand an explanation, while Lin Qingshan was quite disdainful.

"President Jing claims to be a member of the Heaven and Earth Sect. May I ask if there are any other disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect present?"
