Pei Yunxi was alright, after all, she was a martial artist and often traveled outside, sometimes for half a day, sometimes for a whole day, so she didn't feel anything.
But Lin Wan'er was different. She had been standing outside for an entire afternoon. She was fine before Jing Zhe arrived, but now that she had, her legs suddenly felt numb, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Pei Yunxi reacted quickly, catching her and helping her sit down on a nearby stone bench, which made her feel better.
"What's wrong with Seventh Sister?"
Jing Zhe saw it too and hurried over to ask.
Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and remained silent, while Pei Yunxi said somewhat angrily, "How dare you ask? Do you know how long your seventh sister has been waiting for you?"
Jing Zhe scratched his head and laughed, "Doesn't Seventh Sister already know that I went back to Qingyun Sect with Third Sister? Think about it, Abbess Mingji hasn't seen me in a long time, so she's bound to say a few words. Besides, I'll be back as soon as I'm done there. With my skills, do you really need to worry about me?"
"Who's worried about you?"
Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes at him.
Pei Yunxi asked, "Did you eat at Qingyun Sect?"
Jing Zhe shook his head and said, "No, Abbess Mingji did want me to stay, but I was thinking about my two beautiful older sisters waiting for me at home, so how could I bear to eat there?"
"Pooh!"
"whispering sound!"
Although Pei Yunxi and Lin Wan'er were secretly pleased by Jing Zhe's flattery, they outwardly showed great disdain.
Then Pei Yunxi asked, "Where is Third Sister?"
"Third Sister, she was about to come down the mountain with me, but it seems something happened at the Qingyun Sect, so she went back and said she won't be coming over tonight!"
Thinking of his promise to Qingqiu tonight, Jing Zhe revealed a somewhat lewd smile, which happened to fall on the eyes of the two women opposite him and immediately aroused their vigilance.
"They didn't stay for dinner, they just talked, and talked all afternoon?"
"hold head high."
Jing Zhe nodded.
"Seventh Sister, do you believe me?"
Lin Wan'er shook her head and said, "Fourth Sister, I don't believe it."
Pei Yunxi looked at Jing Zhe and said in a deep voice, "I don't believe it either!"
"Forehead…"
Jing Zhe was stunned, because he noticed that his two older sisters were looking at him with ill intent!
Meanwhile, Pei Yunxi and Lin Wan'er were already calculating in their hearts. Jing Zhe was leaving tomorrow, and tonight was the last chance to spend time with him. As Jing Zhe's sister and woman, Qingqiu was willing to give up.
Pei Yunxi and Lin Wan'er were reluctant to part with her, so they felt that Qingqiu must be even more reluctant!
What does it mean if someone is reluctant to leave but doesn't come?
This suggests that Jing Zhe did not simply chat with Abbess Mingji that afternoon. In other words, he only talked to Abbess Mingji for a short while, and spent the rest of the time with Qingqiu, or perhaps did something unspeakable!
So she didn't come back with him, probably because she was too ashamed to come back with him to see them!
Thinking about it this way, Pei Yunxi and Lin Wan'er felt that they had been taken advantage of. They had kindly asked Qingqiu to go back to Qingyun Sect with Jing Zhe to visit, which showed such trust!
But Qingqiu is so unfair! She monopolized Jing Zhe for the entire afternoon. They're at a disadvantage!
"Third Sister is quite self-aware!"
"Yes, if Third Sister comes, we'll have to have a good talk with her!"
"..."
Seeing his two older sisters suddenly become so powerful, Jing Zhe was a little confused. What was going on?
However, he felt somewhat relieved. Judging from the situation, he wouldn't be able to get into their bed that night. But he wasn't afraid, because this gave him even more opportunities to go find Qingqiu.
But thinking about it, it seemed that spending the last bit of time with Qingqiu was unfair to Pei Yunxi and Lin Wan'er. So Jing Zhe stepped forward, took their hands, and said with a smile, "Oh, if only I had visited Qingyun Sect on my first day in Jiangling! That way, I wouldn't have had to go this afternoon, and I could have spent more time with Fourth Sister and Seventh Sister."
"Then what?"
Pei Yunxi looked at him and asked.
"And then... I guess I'll just have to spend some quality time with my fourth and seventh sisters tonight!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe boldly reached out and put his hands around Pei Yunxi and Lin Wan'er's waists, pulling them into his arms. Having just finished a fierce battle with Qing Qiu that afternoon, Jing Zhe was still in a state of excitement. As if by reflex, as soon as he pulled the two women into his arms, his hands couldn't wait to touch, pinch, and grab their waists.
"Slap! Slap!"
Pei Yunxi slapped his hand away, and Lin Wan'er's action was surprisingly the same as Pei Yunxi's, slapping his hand away as well.
"Fourth Sister, Seventh Sister, what are you doing? I just wanted to spend more time with you!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe shamelessly stepped forward again, preparing to repeat the actions he had just performed.
"Pah, dream on!"
"Pah! Don't even think about it!"
After the two women finished speaking, they turned and walked away with their heads held high. However, not far away, Lin Wan'er's voice drifted over again: "What are you staring at? Hurry up and follow us! The food is ready!"
"Okay!"
Jing Zhe followed along eagerly, feeling quite pleased with himself.
He deliberately touched his two older sisters inappropriately in front of them, and as he expected, it immediately aroused their disgust, which was exactly what he wanted.
It's foreseeable that since his two older sisters beat him during the day, they're even less likely to let him into bed at night. Tonight, he'll have another big battle with Qingqiu. Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!
...
Because he was leaving Jiangling the next day, and Lin Changjun had heard that this was Jing Zhe's last night in Jiangling, the kitchen prepared this dinner with extra care.
When the food was served, the large table, which could seat more than ten people, was filled to the brim, and the dishes were quite substantial, showing Lin Changjun's dedication.
During the meal, Lin Changjun raised his glass and said, "Nephew, I originally wanted to stay a few more days, but your uncle knows you have official duties to attend to and have to leave. So let this glass be a farewell toast for you!"
Having said that, Jing Zhe picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing one cup of wine, Lin Changjun was still not satisfied. He raised another cup and said, "Fifty or sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye. I haven't seen Lao Zhu for more than ten years. This cup is for my nephew. When you return to Jingzhou, please give this cup to Lao Zhu on my behalf!"
With that, he tilted his head back again, emptying the glass once more.
The "Old Zhu" that Lin Changjun was referring to was naturally Zhu Tong. Zhu Tong and Lin Changjun were childhood friends, and the two of them had both become top scholars in the imperial examinations, one after the other. Their deep friendship was truly enviable.
When Jing Zhe left this time, he didn't tell Lin Changjun about quelling the war. He only said that there were still things to do in Jingzhou and that he had to go back, which is why Lin Changjun gave him this instruction.
