Where is my sword?

Oh, it's in my hands.

I'm going to stab him to death!

Pei Yunxi, panting heavily, slashed at Jing Zhe a dozen or so times, basically using all the unique skills she had learned from the Kunlun Mirror over the years. Fortunately, Jing Zhe's cultivation level had reached the middle stage of the sixth level, which was a whole level higher than Pei Yunxi's. Otherwise, with her current offensive, Jing Zhe felt that he would not have been able to withstand it!

Pei Yunxi became increasingly angry the more she thought about it!

This is like casting pearls before swine!

Did I just say something meaningless?

After all that effort explaining to him, good heavens, his conclusion was "I won't let Fourth Sister be my wife"?

Based on those words alone, Pei Yunxi felt that it was not a loss at all for him to take a sword strike from her!

So he launched another attack, his sword flashing across the sky, dazzling the eyes. The audience below the stage was mesmerized, while Jing Zhe's group of women frowned: What on earth is going on here?

Even the sect leader of Mingji Sect couldn't understand it, so he whispered to Pei Chunjing.

"Master Pei, are these two siblings?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you fight like you were meeting your enemy?"

"Hehe, hehe... Yunxi has always been like this, serious..."

Pei Chunjing smiled awkwardly. To be honest, after seeing Jing Zhe appear, he no longer valued this martial arts alliance leader. He and the Mingji Sect Master had similar thoughts, feeling that the effect of Jing Zhe taking the martial arts alliance leader position was about the same as if they had taken it.

He wouldn't harm his own sister, would he?

So he also expressed this idea to Pei Yunxi, meaning that she shouldn't worry about it and should just let things slide when necessary...

But it seems that Pei Yunxi is not holding back at all; on the contrary, she's getting serious and fighting even more fiercely...

"This is... way too serious! Anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them had some kind of blood feud!"

"Hehe, it's good to be serious, it's good to be serious! Didn't Sect Master Mingji notice that although Jing Zhe's realm is high, it seems to have been raised suddenly in a short period of time, and he lacks practical combat experience? Yun Xi is just helping him make up for this deficiency!"

"Oh? That's right. It seems his fourth sister really has put a lot of thought into him!"

"Hehe, hehe..."

...

Jing Zhe had no idea what his subordinates were thinking, and the reason he had caused such a mess was entirely his own fault.

Of course, he did it on purpose.

He deliberately said the phrase "not letting Fourth Sister become a wife," and through Pei Yunxi's furious reaction, he already knew what he wanted to know.

So, after withstanding Pei Yunxi's series of fierce attacks, he smiled and said, "Fourth Sister..."

"You still dare to laugh?"

Seeing his smirking face, as if he didn't take her seriously at all, Pei Yunxi was even more furious.

"Take another sword strike!"

He was about to stab me again, which made Jing Zhe raise his eyebrows in fright. He secretly made up his mind: Don't be fooled by your swagger now. One day, I will shout out the same words but with a much stronger tone: Take another shot from me!

Before Pei Yunxi could get started, he quickly added, "Fourth Sister, listen to me first! I said I wouldn't let you be my wife, but I didn't say forever. I just said I wouldn't let you be my wife for a while!"

"..."

Pei Yunxi's mood improved slightly, but she still frowned and said, "Pah, as if anyone wants to do it!"

Her anger was tinged with arrogance, which Jing Zhe found quite endearing.

"Fourth Sister is right not to be my wife now. I couldn't understand it before, but now I not only understand it, but I also fully support her decision, because I spend far too little time with her! If she were to agree rashly, it would be too good for me!"

"Hmph, you know that too!"

Pei Yunxi snorted coldly.

"So, I plan to make a special trip to Kunlun County after I'm done with my work, and stay in Kunlun Mirror for a few more days. I'll spend every day talking to Fourth Sister, seeing where she lives, and listening to her stories over the years. I'll also tell Fourth Sister all the stories of how I've missed her all these years. Then it will just be the two of us, without anyone disturbing us, so we can enjoy some quality time together!"

"..."

Upon hearing Jing Zhe's words, Pei Yunxi's hand holding the sword seemed to suddenly lose its strength, and her eyes, which had just been filled with anger, instantly calmed down.

Especially the last phrase, "a world for two," made Pei Yunxi yearn for it. Even when they were little, the two of them rarely had time to be alone together, since wherever she was, her other sisters were there too.

But Kunlun County is different. There's no one else there but her. Once he goes there, he'll belong to her alone...

Thinking about this, my heart inexplicably felt joyful.

She no longer seemed to care about the issue of being a wife; she just wanted to be alone with him.

"What do you say, Fourth Sister?"

Even though she was happy inside, Pei Yunxi kept a straight face and didn't say anything, only nodding.

But then she thought about it again and immediately asked, "You said you'd go once you were done with your work—doesn't that mean we can leave tomorrow?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, Pei Yunxi was so eager; she couldn't wait to have some "time alone" with him as soon as she heard about it.

Jing Zhe shook his head and said, "Fourth Sister, it won't work!"

"No? You're lying to me again!"

As he spoke, the sword stood upright again.

"No, Fourth Sister, the martial arts tournament is over, and I need to go to Liangzhou immediately. I can't delay!"

"..."

Upon hearing Liangzhou's name, Pei Yunxi felt deflated.

When they were little, no matter how much the sisters argued, they would never compete with the little girl who always stayed by Jing Zhe's side and was inseparable from him.

Childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree, Liu Jinghong was undoubtedly the envy of all the sisters, but she didn't inspire jealousy.

Liu Jinghong was in Liangzhou, so his trip to Liangzhou was definitely for Liu Jinghong, which made Pei Yunxi lose her temper instantly.

Seeing this, Jing Zhe immediately said, "Fourth Sister, going to Liangzhou was something I discussed with Fifth Sister beforehand! And I just heard about it this morning..."

So he recounted how Liu Jinghong was confronting the Western Barbarians in Liangzhou and how the situation was not good. Pei Yunxi frowned after listening, as she was also a little worried about Liu Jinghong.

So he nodded and said, "In that case, after you finish what you've done here, set off for Liangzhou immediately! Whether what those two constables said is true or false, you can rest assured that you've made a trip to Liangzhou. If your fifth sister really encounters danger, with your current strength, you can definitely help her!"

Seeing Pei Yunxi's profound understanding and ability to completely put aside her girlish emotions, Jing Zhe was somewhat moved.

Fourth Sister, you won't blame me, will you?

Pei Yunxi looked at Jing Zhe and said softly, "We're all family. I was very worried when I heard that your fifth sister might be in danger. It's good that you're going to help her. Why should I blame you?"

"..."
