Although Pei Yunxi wished Jing Zhe could leave with her and be selfish for once so they could enjoy some time alone, she was ultimately worried about affecting Jing Zhe's career, which is why she said that.
However, after hearing Jing Zhe's explanation, she felt much more at ease.
But then he added, "Although you can leave, you still need to explain things properly to your wife. You must tell her that it was your own choice to leave!"
After hearing this, Jing Zhe gave a wry smile: "Fourth Sister, you can just call her Xiaoyu. Calling her 'little lady' like this just sounds so awkward."
"It's your little wife!"
Pei Yunxi pouted.
"..."
Jing Zhe choked for a moment, thinking to himself that getting Pei Yunxi to truly accept Zhang Xiaoyu from the bottom of her heart would be a long and arduous task.
He said, "But whether I tell Xiaoyu or not, it's all the same."
"How could they be the same?"
Pei Yunxi immediately said, "We must tell her, lest she think I persuaded you to leave first!"
No, it won't.
Jing Zhe smiled and waved his hand.
"Why not?"
Pei Yunxi frowned.
"Because... this idea was proposed by Xiaoyu herself, how could she think it was Fourth Sister who instigated it?"
"..."
Pei Yunxi was taken aback and asked incredulously, "You mean... she asked you to come to Jiangling with me first?"
Jing Zhe smiled and nodded: "Yes, Xiaoyu was also worried that her arrival would affect our time alone together, and that Fourth Sister would get angry and jealous because of it, so she asked me to take Fourth Sister to Jiangling to have some time alone together first!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yunxi made a complete fool of herself.
"Who said I'd get angry or jealous? Who's so eager to spend time alone with you?"
"..."
Jing Zhe smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself, "Who else could it be but you?"
Pei Yunxi probed again, "Was it really her who told you to leave?"
"Yes, that's what Xiaoyu said, Fourth Sister. You seem to have some misunderstanding about Xiaoyu..."
So Jing Zhe repeated Zhang Xiaoyu's original words to Pei Yunxi. After listening, Pei Yunxi felt a little embarrassed. Compared to Zhang Xiaoyu, her perspective was really too narrow.
Seeing Pei Yunxi's embarrassed look, Jing Zhe put his arm around her shoulder and laughed, "Fourth Sister, Xiaoyu isn't as bad as you think. She's a very nice person. Think about it, Second Sister and Sixth Sister are like sisters with Xiaoyu now. If Xiaoyu really had even the slightest bad intention, would Second Sister and Sixth Sister be so foolish?"
"..."
Pei Yunxi didn't speak, but her slightly flushed and hot cheeks said it all.
Seeing this, Jing Zhe didn't continue. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Fourth Sister, why don't you pack your luggage first? I'll go back and pack quickly too. Shall we have lunch and then leave?"
Ah~
Pei Yunxi was taken aback, then immediately waved her hand and said, "Leaving this afternoon? There's no need to be in such a hurry! Leaving tomorrow is fine too!"
Jing Zhe glanced at Pei Yunxi's already nearly packed luggage and asked in confusion, "Isn't Fourth Sister in a hurry? Besides, it seems Fourth Sister has nothing to do, why stay another day?"
"Who said I was in a hurry?"
Pei Yunxi rolled her eyes at Jing Zhe, "You...you've only been in Kunlun County for a day, and I haven't even had a chance to show you the hospitality. If I leave like this, won't people laugh at me?"
Jing Zhe understood immediately and laughed, "What, Fourth Sister, are you planning to invite Xiaoyu to dinner?"
"That's how it should be."
Pei Yunxi glanced at him. "What, you don't want me to treat her to dinner?"
"Yes, of course I'd love to!"
Jing Zhe quickly smiled.
This is the situation he most wants to see. What man doesn't want his women to get along harmoniously? No, it seems that only he can, after all, other men can't have so many beautiful women at the same time!
After Jing Zhe finished speaking, his hands started to wander. They had been resting on Pei Yunxi's shoulder, but as he spoke, they began to move downwards, seemingly about to cross a flat area and prepare to traverse the mountains.
"Squeak~"
At this moment, he suddenly stopped, and Pei Yunxi shook off his hand and looked warily toward the door.
Who is it?
"Senior Sister...it's me..."
A timid voice immediately came from outside the door. Jing Zhe recognized the voice; it was the same young woman from before. He hadn't expected her to be so curious, eavesdropping outside.
Pei Yunxi's face darkened. She stepped forward and opened the door, only to see the young woman standing outside, trembling.
"what are you doing here?"
"Senior sister, I...I..."
"Senior sister! Senior sister!"
Before she could speak, several urgent shouts came from behind her. Jing Zhe went out and saw that the one running over was the slightly older female disciple from before.
"Huiya, what happened?"
"Senior Sister, Sect Leader Guan... Sect Leader Guan has arrived with a group of Kunlun Sect disciples, demanding an explanation from Kunlun Mirror!"
"You want an explanation? What explanation?"
"It is said that yesterday, when Junior Brother Lü went out to eat, he happened to run into disciples of the Kunlun Sect. The two sides had a few words over seating arrangements, and in the end, Junior Brother Lü led his men to beat up the Kunlun Sect disciples. Sect Leader Guan came here because of this incident!"
Pei Yunxi nodded. "Where is Master?"
"Master..."
Huiya glanced at Jing Zhe and whispered, "I heard that just now, President Jing beat up Junior Brother Lü and the others. They went to Master to complain, and Master said that since President Jing beat up Junior Brother Lü, he should help deal with Junior Brother Lü's beating of the Kunlun Sect disciples. That way, they'll be even, and it's very fair. Master then went to the back mountain..."
"..."
After hearing this, Jing Zhe was speechless.
Unexpectedly, Pei Chunjing is quite good at handling things; his own disciple beat someone up, yet he's made to clean up the mess.
Pei Yunxi glanced at him and asked, "Did you really bully Junior Brother Lü and the others?"
Jing Zhe immediately shook his head: "No, absolutely not. Do you think I'm that kind of person, Fourth Sister?"
Pei Yunxi nodded, her face serious: "Exactly."
"..."
Jing Zhesheng said dejectedly, "I did fight them, but it was definitely not bullying! It was just a friendly sparring match! There were so many of them, and I was just one person. How can you call that bullying?"
"..."
Pei Yunxi believed Huiya's words without a doubt, and she could roughly guess why Jing Zhe had clashed with Lü Pingzhi and the others. It was because Jing Zhe had "touched" her earlier, which was seen by Lü Pingzhi and his fellow disciples who were spying on her. It was normal for her to provoke Jing Zhe, and of course, it was also normal for her to be beaten by Jing Zhe!
"What can I say to you!"
Pei Yunxi scolded, "You've only just arrived in Kunlun County and you've already caused me trouble. Come on, let's go take a look!"
After saying that, Pei Yunxi walked out first.
