When they left yesterday, perhaps fearing the experience of parting, both Qingqiu, Mu Qingren, and Wang Yingqiu told Jing Zhe that they would be returning home early this morning and would not see him again.

So Jing Zhe rode in a carriage and drove out of the south gate of Jinxi City. Outside the gate, Pei Yunxi was waiting by the roadside on a tall horse. Because there were many common people and disciples from other sects who had not yet left, Pei Yunxi did not go forward, but instead rode out directly.

When Jing Zhe returned, he looked at the map of Anguo again and learned that it would take less than ten days to travel from Jinxi to Liangzhou. However, if he went directly east from Jinxi to Kunlun County, it would take even longer than to Liangzhou.

Pei Yunxi simply said it was "on the way," and Jing Zhe understood the sentiment behind it.

Leaving the city, the carriage traveled southwest along the main road. Perhaps because Liangzhou was plagued by war for many years and was far more backward than Jinxi or other cities, few people would choose to go to Liangzhou unless there was a particularly urgent matter. As a result, few people traveled this road on weekdays, and the road became narrower and narrower, with very few pedestrians on the road.

When they reached a desolate place outside, Jing Zhe lifted the carriage curtain to look ahead. At that moment, Pei Yunxi was sitting comfortably on her horse, facing the warm sun overhead, waiting for them.

At this moment, Jing Zhe finally had time to take a closer look at Pei Yunxi. The reason he had to look closely was because Pei Yunxi was different from before, both in terms of her clothes and makeup.

The original Pei Yunxi would wear a dark blue training uniform unique to Kunlun Mirror every day, and her long hair would be tied up with a ribbon, all gathered behind her.

She is naturally beautiful and doesn't wear makeup, yet she still exudes a charm that carries the air of a chivalrous woman.

During the few days they spent together, she dressed the same way every day, and Jing Zhe was already very familiar with it. When he suddenly saw her change her outfit, he was somewhat mesmerized.

...

Today, Pei Yunxi didn't wear that navy blue training uniform anymore. Instead, she changed into a snow-white chiffon floor-length dress. Fortunately, she was tall and slender, and the tassels on the dress fell just at her slender ankles. Whenever she moved her feet, the tassels would flutter and sway in the wind, adding a touch of playfulness.

A moon-white belt cinched her waist, perfectly outlining her slender figure. The long dress, which should have been loose, was stretched taut by her curvaceous body, adding to her allure.

She removed the pink ribbon that had been tied to her head, and her dark hair cascaded down like flowing clouds, reaching her waist. With a touch of nonchalance, she exuded an elegant and refined air. The light makeup on her face further enhanced her already beautiful features.

Her face resembled a peach blossom in bloom, her body slender as a willow swaying in the wind, her eyebrows like spring mountains shrouded in rain, her eyes like autumn waters brimming with affection, her starry eyes sparkling with starlight, carrying a hint of aloofness, gazing into the distance, her whole being exuding an indifference that kept people at a distance.

Pei Yunxi exudes femininity today!

Previously, I only thought that Fourth Sister was a rare beauty, comparable to the other sisters, but now, with this new outfit and simple makeup, her beauty has been elevated to another level.

Jing Zhe couldn't help but think that if his third sister, who always wore a Taoist robe, changed her outfit like this, she would probably look stunning!

Pei Yunxi sat on her horse, her gaze deep and lost in thought. But when she saw Jing Zhe's carriage approaching, she breathed a sigh of relief, her expression noticeably relaxed, and her cold gaze softened as she looked over calmly.

However, when she noticed that Jing Zhe's gaze was fixed on her face as if he were infatuated, her earlobes instantly turned hot and red—this was a unique physical reaction of Pei Yunxi. When she was shy, there was no obvious reaction in other places, but her earlobes would change in advance.

Of course, she is usually not shy, and apart from Jing Zhe, very few people know this secret, since the two of them spent the most time together when they were young.

However, Jing Zhe had no time to notice such subtle changes in her at this moment, because he was currently intoxicated by Pei Yunxi's beauty and was still making plans in his mind.

His fourth sister is the one he finds most difficult to win over so far.

Of course, the eldest sister Lu Li is an exception. After all, he didn't have much time to really interact with Lu Li, and apart from feeling that Lu Li's background was a bit pitiful, he didn't have any other thoughts.

Through his previous conversation with Pei Yunxi, he also learned that Pei Yunxi had no intention of becoming his wife, or rather, it was because of Jing Zhe's neglect that she did not want to consider this possibility.

Jing Zhe had previously promised her that once he was done with his work, he would make a trip to Kunlun County alone to enjoy some time alone with her. He also planned to launch a fierce offensive against Pei Yunxi then, which would probably be much easier.

However, now that Pei Yunxi is "on the same road" as him, this will last for four or five days. If we leave Hanhan aside, this is a world for just the two of them!

Jing Zhe's eyes lit up, and a plan came to mind!

...

"Hey, what are you looking at!"

At this moment, the carriage had arrived beside Pei Yunxi.

Just now, from a distance, Jing Zhe's burning gaze was fixed on Pei Yunxi, making her flustered and somewhat shy. She pretended not to see it, and felt a little smug: So, I can also make him so infatuated!

When they were in Jinxi City, Pei Yunxi was actually not as good-looking as Mu Qingren or Wang Yingqiu, but she was too embarrassed to put on makeup and dress up, always feeling that she was abnormal if she did so.

But when no one else is around, she doesn't mind changing into a more feminine outfit, and Jing Zhe's reaction undoubtedly proves that her charm is no less than anyone else's.

But the key point is, it's one thing to peek from afar, but to come right up to someone and stare at them so intently? Don't you know that makes them feel embarrassed?

So he glared fiercely at Jing Zhe and said angrily.

"ah…"

Startled by his words, Jing Zhe shifted his gaze from Pei Yunxi's upper body to her upper part, then replied with a grin, "Looking at Fourth Sister!"

"..."

Pei Yunxi was furious that he had interpreted her statement as a question, even though it was clearly a declarative sentence.

"You've seen it before, why are you looking at me again?"

"Because it looks good!"

Strategy guide, starting now!

"..."

Pei Yunxi didn't expect Jing Zhe to be so bold and shameless, especially in front of Hanhan, so she ended up with a huge mess on her face.

However, after a moment of contemplation, a sly glint flashed in his eyes!

You brought it up first, so it's my fault for asking!

If you don't answer well, see how I deal with you!

So she smiled faintly and asked, "Am I really pretty?"

"..."
