Since Jing Zhe left, Qiu Qianqian has been working tirelessly to make hand grenades. This is the only thing she can do for Jing Zhe right now, so she is putting a lot of effort into it.
Upon hearing Jing Zhe's voice, Qiu Qianqian thought she was hallucinating, but she still stood up and pushed open the door to look.
"Husband, why are you back?"
Qiu Qianqian was overjoyed to see Jing Zhe appear outside the door.
Then he saw the women following behind Jing Zhe, and he recognized most of them.
She had already met Lu Li, and she was still a little scared.
She had met Pei Yunxi when she was in Jinxi, and she had also met Murong Xi when she went to Jingzhou last time. However, compared to last time, Murong Xi was obviously "plump".
As for the other two women, they were equally beautiful, but Qiu Qianqian had never seen them before.
"Something happened on the way, so I came back. I'll tell Qianqian the details later. Let me introduce it to you first."
So, Jing Zhe introduced Su Mochen and Liu Jinghong to Qiu Qianqian, and also introduced Qiu Qianqian to the other women. Compared to Lu Li, the other women were much more gentle with Qiu Qianqian, which made Qiu Qianqian feel flattered.
Afterwards, the group chatted for a while and told Qiu Qianqian the purpose of their trip back to Ruzhou.
When Qiu Qianqian first heard that Jing Zhe was going to practice martial arts with Lu Li, Su Mochen, and Pei Yunxi, she was quite surprised because she knew what practicing martial arts meant.
Su Mochen and Pei Yunxi are doing better, but what about Lu Li? Has she also agreed to practice martial arts with her husband?
Qiu Qianqian secretly glanced at Lu Li a few times. Lu Li seemed to sense her gaze and didn't dare to look at her. Her face turned slightly red, and she turned away.
At this moment, Qiu Qianqian spoke up, "Since husband has come back to practice martial arts, let's not waste any time and start practicing as soon as possible! But husband, are you planning to practice here?"
This courtyard was specially set aside by Yu Li for Qiu Qianqian, and the servants wouldn't come in casually, but Jing Zhe shook his head.
"I don't think this place is good. It's too small and there's no suitable environment for practicing martial arts. What do you think, eldest sister?"
"..."
One sentence made Lu Li break down completely, her face turned so red it looked like it could drip water, and she was too embarrassed to speak.
Jing Zhe smiled and looked at Pei Yunxi again: "What do you think, Fourth Sister?"
Pei Yunxi's face also turned red. She glared at Jing Zhe but remained silent.
"I don't think it's a good idea. This courtyard isn't very big, and servants often pass by. If they hear us practicing martial arts... well, it's not a good idea. It would be best to find a secluded place!"
Before Jing Zhe could ask, Su Mochen said it himself.
Jing Zhe smiled and nodded, saying, "It seems Mo Chen and I are on the same page! I'll take you to a great place!"
"..."
...
Within Ruzhou City, there was only one place that Jing Zhe felt could reach the realm of a secluded paradise, and he wasn't afraid of being eavesdropped on or spied on while practicing his skills there—that would only make him feel more excited.
This place is Wuxian Pavilion.
Wuxian Pavilion is Mu Qingren's territory, and Jing Zhe, as Mu Qingren's man, is essentially in his territory. The disciples in the pavilion also respect him very much.
Not only is it secluded, but it's also safe. No matter what happens outside, no one would dare to cause trouble for Wuxian Pavilion, one of the four major sects.
Most importantly, all the disciples in the Wuxian Pavilion are women, so Jing Zhe isn't worried about them peeping at him while he's practicing...
Moreover, Jing Zhe had already considered that after they left, he would leave Qiu Qianqian and Murong Xi here. Firstly, for their safety, and secondly, it would be more convenient to find these female disciples if anything happened.
"President Jing!"
Upon seeing Jing Zhe from afar, the female disciple guarding the gate of Wuxian Pavilion called out.
"What? President Jing?"
"Is it really President Jing?"
"Where is President Jing? Let me see!"
"..."
At the sound of the gatekeeper's shout, all the other female disciples rushed out.
This is actually easy to understand. Just like how men who have been in the army for a long time can see even sows as pretty, the disciples of Wuxian Pavilion are all women, and they rarely have the opportunity to see men on a daily basis.
Jing Zhe was handsome and had close ties with their sect leader and senior sister. The female disciples had a good impression of Jing Zhe and regarded him as a member of the Wuxian Pavilion.
Jing Zhe greeted the disciples of Wuxian Pavilion with equal enthusiasm, occasionally remembering the names of several beautiful female disciples, which instantly drew gasps from them, causing them to surround Jing Zhe in layers.
To these female disciples, Jing Zhe was famous, powerful, rich, handsome, and had a charming way of speaking. Moreover, he was well-connected in both the imperial court and the martial arts world. In their eyes, wasn't he the perfect man in the world?
When Jing Zhe came before, he was usually accompanied by Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu. These female disciples had the desire but not the courage, and didn't even dare to talk to Jing Zhe much.
Now that Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu are both away, it's like the tiger is away and the monkeys are running rampant—so they're all vying to talk to Jing Zhe, their enthusiasm is something most people can't handle.
...
Jing Zhe was so beloved in Wuxian Pavilion that the six women who accompanied him were completely ignored.
The six women exchanged glances and gave each other a self-deprecating smile.
"Luckily, I knew in advance that we had come to the Wuxian Pavilion, otherwise I would have thought we had entered the Spider Cave!"
Su Mochen spoke up.
With the popularity of the Da'an Newspaper, the story of the monkey became a household name in Jingzhou, so it's not surprising that Su Mochen could mention the Spider Cave.
It wasn't just Su Mochen; in fact, any of Jing Zhe's women, even those like Qiu Qianqian who had never read newspapers, had heard Jing Zhe tell stories about monkeys, so they could all understand the Spider Cave reference.
"This is much more powerful than the Spider Cave!"
Liu Jinghong chimed in from the side, "There are only a few demons in the Spider Cave, look how many there are here?"
"That's right, I know Mu Qingren too—we used to have to call her Pavilion Master Mu, but from now on, she'll have to call us 'elder sister'!"
Pei Yunxi glanced at the female disciples with a hint of smugness, then continued, "Next time we meet, I'll have to give her a lecture and tell her to keep a good eye on her disciples. They all act like they've never seen a man before; they're so naive!"
"..."
After Pei Yunxi finished speaking, Qiu Qianqian was actually a little conflicted. She was considering whether she should also say a few words along with the other sisters, otherwise how could she quickly integrate into the group?
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Qianqian said, "Don't worry, sisters. Since the Empress and I are staying at Wuxian Pavilion this time, we will keep a close eye on them and teach them a lesson! Let them know how powerful we sisters are, and let them know that they have no chance to get close to our husband!"
"..."
