About an hour later, the wind and rain stopped.

Both Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, their faces flushed, nestled contentedly in Jing Zhe's arms, their legs wrapped around his like octopuses, enjoying the tranquil harmony that followed.

However, Jing Zhe had to rush to another event and dared not linger.

But he couldn't just say that directly, so after thinking for a moment, he patted the master and apprentice on the shoulder and said with a mischievous grin, "Don't just stand there, keep going!"

"continue?"

The two women looked up at him and said coquettishly, "More than an hour has just passed, why do we have to continue again?"

"Sigh, I'll be parting ways with you two tomorrow, and I'm so sad! So I'm staying here today to practice with you for a little while. Enough talk, let's go!"

As he spoke, he continued to pat the two women lightly twice.

Wang Yingqiu rolled her eyes at him. They didn't have Jing Zhe's physique. Practicing martial arts was good, but they couldn't just go through all that trouble.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "I...I can't do it! I tried, but I just broke through to the middle level of the fifth level. I still need to familiarize myself with it more. You should stay with Master!"

Ah~

Mu Qingren was surprised that Wang Yingqiu pushed her out, and quickly refused, saying, "I'm even less capable now, my legs are weak!"

Because they were about to part ways, Jing Zhe practiced his skills much more diligently than usual this time, so after just one session, both master and disciple couldn't take it anymore.

Jing Zhe suppressed a laugh and frowned, saying, "No, we can't slack off on our training for even a moment. We can't stop training!"

He then made a gesture as if he was about to pull the two women into a training session, which frightened them so much that they retreated. Wang Yingqiu could only say in the end, "My master and I are really no good... If you still really want to, go find your sisters!"

"This...isn't that inappropriate? I still want to stay with you..."

"But we can't go on! Go find your sister!"

"Oh, okay..."

Jing Zhe looked quite troubled. He soaked in the hot spring for a while longer, then gently kissed Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu on the forehead. After that, he got dressed and flew back the way he came.

Watching Jing Zhe's figure disappear against the wall, Mu Qingren said somewhat anxiously, "Yingqiu, shouldn't we... have kept him here? My legs are sore, but lying down... is actually okay! He won't be angry, will he?"

"Him? You're angry?"

Wang Yingqiu smiled and put her arm around Mu Qingren's shoulder: "Master, you still don't understand him!"

So he analyzed it for Mu Qingren: "If he wanted to, he would definitely find countless reasons not to make our legs sore... Letting him leave now is a good opportunity for him to find someone else. After all, he is going to Liangzhou tomorrow, and he can't just stay here with us, can he?"

Mu Qingren, being a woman for the first time, had never been exposed to these things before, and naturally had never thought about them so deeply. After Wang Yingqiu explained it to her, she suddenly understood.

"This bastard... if he wanted to go, he could have just told us! Why did he do this on purpose!"

Mu Qingren pouted in dissatisfaction.

“If we say it directly, he’s afraid we’ll lose face. How about this, so everyone can save face and feel better, right?”

After listening to Wang Yingqiu's words, Mu Qingren nodded.

Then she covered her mouth and laughed, "But it really is hard on him. You know, Yingqiu, if it's like this now, imagine if we really go to Jingzhou, there will be more than just three or four... Won't he be running around all night? How can he possibly manage?"

"Hehe, then Master doesn't need to worry. He's such a cunning villain, he'll definitely have a way!"

Wang Yingqiu smiled to herself, not saying much, but she had already thought of the "sleeping together under the same quilt" plan that Jing Zhe had mentioned to her before. It seemed that he had made preparations in advance, but how big should the bed be?

...

When we came out of Wuxian Pavilion, it was still early, and there was still about an hour before it got dark.

Time management master Jing Zhe did not choose to go to Tongtianque to find Qiu Qianqian immediately. Instead, he planned to do something else in the limited time available. After all, going to Tongtianque would be a fierce battle, and he needed a break.

Qingqiu has already made arrangements; once she arrives in Jingzhou, she will fulfill all her requests. However, until then, Qingqiu has decided not to let him touch her again.

If he were shameless, he could actually go ahead of schedule, but Jing Zhe still wanted to respect Qing Qiu's decision, so he prepared to go to Kunlun Mirror.

Conquering the fourth sister is the most difficult task we've been working on recently; it's a long and arduous journey!

Upon seeing Jing Zhe, the disciples of Kunlun Mirror no longer tried to stop him, but instead respectfully greeted him, "President Jing."

"Um, is... Senior Sister here?"

"exist…"

The disciple hesitated for a moment, but then told the truth.

"Oh, I was just asking casually. I'm here to see Master Pei."

"..."

Watching Jing Zhe go inside, the disciple was speechless for a moment, but still slightly surprised: Why did he take this inner path to find our Mirror Master? This path leads to Senior Sister's room…

"Slap slap slap..."

Jing Zhe was a little annoyed. Why did even knocking on the door make such an indecent sound now?

Who is it?

Pei Yunxi's somewhat listless voice came out.

"Clap clap clap!"

Jing Zhe didn't respond and continued knocking on the door.

Just then, they heard the sounds of chairs being pulled out and footsteps coming from inside. Jing Zhe bent down and squatted down, and the instant the door opened, he grabbed the leg of the person who opened the door and ran inside…

"Fourth Sister, what's wrong with you...?"

Jing Zhe wanted to surprise Pei Yunxi with a swift and unexpected move, but to his surprise, there was only shock and no joy.

Because Pei Yunxi was sitting on the edge of the bed, her cherry-like mouth slightly open, her eyes full of surprise.

Fourth Sister is in bed, so what is that thing he's carrying on his shoulder...?

Jing Zhe gently put the person down, looked at Qing Qiu who was also completely bewildered, and slowly opened his mouth to say, "Third Sister, you...are you surprised?"

He swallowed back the words "What are you doing here?" that were on the tip of his tongue. If he had actually said them, he would probably have been finished.

"..."

Qingqiu glanced at Jingzhe twice, but didn't answer. Instead, after thinking for a moment, she asked in return, "Are you sure the person you're going to pick up is me? Or are you sure the person you want to surprise is me?"

"..."

It must be said that after transforming from a girl into a woman, Qingqiu's insight and intuition have become increasingly sensitive.

Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise I might have died here!

So he said with a grin, "Of course I can confirm it, but this surprise isn't just for Third Sister, it's for Fourth Sister too!"

Pei Yunxi sat on the bed with her head tilted to the side, not intending to speak, clearly handing over all the power of speech to Qingqiu.

"Then... how did you know I was here?"

"Well... I heard it from the disciples guarding the gate outside, which saves me from having to go to Qingyun Sect again later!"

Just when he thought his answer was foolproof, Qingqiu immediately asked, "Then how did you know that the person you picked up was me?"

"..."
