Given Jing Zhe and Lu Li's current level of skill, it would be pointless for them to continue traveling on horseback.
So after leaving Ruzhou, Jing Zhe and Lu Li used their lightness skills to fly towards Jingzhou. Although Lu Li's internal strength had reached the peak of the sixth level, her lightness skills were not as good as her internal strength, so she was far inferior to Jing Zhe. Therefore, when Jing Zhe used his full strength, Lu Li could not keep up with his pace at all.
"Big sister, how about I go to Jingzhou by myself first?"
Jing Zhe inquired.
"no!"
Lu Li knew what Jing Zhe meant. He was simply annoyed that she was flying too slowly and was wasting his time. He wanted to get rid of her and fly to Jingzhou first. Thinking back to half a year ago, the boy who had been beaten up by her and had to hide everywhere on the mountain after a disagreement had now made rapid progress and become someone she couldn't catch up with, Lu Li felt a little dazed.
However, because of the terrifying incident the day before yesterday, Lu Li would never let Jing Zhe leave alone, or rather, from now on she would not want Jing Zhe out of her sight!
Who told me to be his older sister?
Lu Li thought to herself that perhaps only by convincing herself in this way could she avoid feeling too guilty.
"Big sister, going this way will waste a lot of time!"
Jing Zhe hesitated.
"You, come here."
Lu Li beckoned, and Jing Zhe scurried over to her side. The next moment, Lu Li placed her hand on Jing Zhe and whispered, "Take me with you."
"..."
Jing Zhe was overjoyed upon hearing this, laughing inwardly. In fact, when he said he would leave alone first, he had most likely guessed that Lu Li would make this choice. So, Lu Li had fallen into his trap!
Of course, if you remove the word "着" from the middle of what Lu Li just said, it would be perfect.
Which man doesn't want to take a woman on a wild ride?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and fly!"
Seeing Jing Zhe in a daze, Lu Li was somewhat dissatisfied and urged him on.
"Alright, I'll take Big Sister flying right away!"
Jing Zhe shouted, grabbed Lu Li's slender waist with his backhand, and then flew forward.
After being embraced by Jing Zhe, Lu Li trembled slightly, and her cheeks turned red. She tilted her head back, not daring to look at Jing Zhe. Her originally snow-white neck was now completely exposed to the air, revealing a hint of pink.
...
The two flew towards Jingzhou.
Having flown less than halfway, Jing Zhe suddenly saw two black figures, just like them, rushing towards them from the front.
Jing Zhe and Lu Li became alert and became vigilant. However, when the shadowy figures approached and they saw their faces clearly, Jing Zhe was filled with joy, in addition to shock!
Because the visitors were none other than Su Mochen and his fourth sister, Pei Yunxi!
"Mo Chen, Fourth Sister!"
Jing Zhe flew up, and Su Mochen rushed over and into his arms.
Perhaps she could understand Su Mochen's feelings at this moment, so Pei Yunxi very consciously moved to the side, looked at Lu Li behind her, and said softly with a smile, "Big sister."
Lu Li nodded and took Pei Yunxi's hand.
The last time the two met was on Mount Mang. When Pei Yunxi passed through Mount Mang to visit Lu Li, she also happened to see Jing Zhe on Mount Mang, but they did not recognize each other that time.
Su Mochen, who was nestled in Jing Zhe's arms, immediately stood up and looked up at Lu Li after hearing Pei Yunxi's address.
"Big sister..."
"Yes, it's been a long time. Prince Mo Chen has practically become my sister-in-law!"
"..."
Su Mochen blushed deeply and remained silent.
Speaking of which, Lu Li and Su Mochen are quite familiar with each other. When Su Mochen first went to Mangshan, he was known as "Chen Mo" before revealing his true identity.
After a few brief pleasantries, Jing Zhe asked, "Why did Mo Chen come with Fourth Sister? Where are the others?"
Logically speaking, Su Mochen was in Jingzhou with her second sister Zhu Xinning, sixth sister Zhou Ziqiong, the adorable Yu Xiangrong, as well as Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, the master and apprentice.
The ones who should be with Pei Yunxi are her third sister Qingqiu, her seventh sister Lin Wan'er, and Zhang Xiaoyu who comes later.
From a directional point of view, there's no reason for Su Mochen to meet Pei Yunxi together, which is why Jing Zhe is curious.
At this moment, Pei Yunxi spoke first: "The afternoon you left, Xiaoyu and the others arrived in Jiangling."
Jing Zhe nodded, "Based on the timeline, it's about right."
"Moreover, the address for the Da'an Newspaper Office has already been chosen. You also said that the first issue of the newspaper would reveal Feng Mubai's identity. So, on the first night Xiaoyu arrived in Jiangling, the newspaper staff worked overtime to print the newspaper, and it began to be distributed free of charge the next day at noon."
"At first, the people of Jiangling were somewhat resistant to the newspaper, but when they heard it was free, they didn't refuse. Once they actually saw the contents of the newspaper, they were captivated by both the lifestyle and literature sections, and couldn't put it down. As a result, Da'an Newspaper became an instant hit in Jiangling."
Pei Yunxi continued, "Later we discussed that since the Da'an Newspaper was so effective, there was no need to stay in Jiangling any longer. We might as well return to Jingzhou sooner. So my third sister, Xiaoyu, and I boarded a boat and headed north from Jiangling."
At this moment, Su Mochen chimed in, "My second sister, Xiangrong, and I were just heading south from Jingzhou by boat to meet you in Jiangling when we ran into my third and fourth sisters. After discussing it, the other sisters all took the boat back to Jiangling, while the two of us came to Ruzhou to find you!"
After hearing what Su Mochen said, Jing Zhe finally felt relieved. After all, no matter what happened, as long as his sister and the women were safe and sound, he had nothing to worry about.
Jiangling is far enough from Jingzhou, and the Qingyun Sect is located in Jiangling. No matter if there is war between countries or internal strife within a country, it will not involve the sect. Therefore, staying in the Qingyun Sect is undoubtedly the safest option.
However, after listening to their stories, Jing Zhe became even more curious about the affairs of Jingzhou.
"Mo Chen, don't you know I went to Ruzhou? Why did you go to Jiangling to find me right away?"
Logically speaking, the imperial edict issued by Emperor An, ordering him to travel directly from Jiangling to Jingzhou, should have been known to both the princes and ministers and Su Mochen. So why would Su Mochen choose to go to Jiangling?
Upon hearing this, Su Mochen's eyes dimmed.
"Actually, we lost contact with you after you went to Jiangling. At first, no one noticed, but I only realized something was wrong when Father Emperor had his accident. By then, it was too late..."
At this point, Su Mochen burst into tears, and Jing Zhe quickly hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her.
