There is only one day left until the martial arts test.
Just when Jing Zhe thought that he would be constantly watched over by Liu Jinghong or Zhu Xinning while practicing his martial arts, Liu Jinghong finished eating early in the morning and said that she had to go out to court.
"Isn't Fifth Sister exempt from attending court?"
Suppressing his inner excitement, Jing Zhe asked.
"It wasn't necessary before, but the martial arts test is tomorrow, isn't it? Yesterday, His Majesty sent someone to the military camp to order everyone to attend court today, seemingly to discuss the matter of tomorrow's martial arts test!"
Liu Jinghong said calmly.
"Then why did you say last night—to continue today?"
Liu Jinghong glanced at him, dissatisfied, and said, "What's wrong? Shouldn't we continue today? Your sister isn't home to watch over you, so you're not going to practice?"
Then he said to Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, you stay home and watch over him. Don't let him go out! If he doesn't listen, just come back and tell me!"
"..."
Liu Jinghong left, leaving Wu Ma to keep an eye on Jing Zhe.
After practicing his lightness skill for a while, Jing Zhe suddenly said to Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, I want to eat pork hock today! They say you are what you eat, so if I eat pork hock, I'll definitely run faster and improve my lightness skill even more!"
Wu Ma nodded vigorously, "Okay, then I'll go out and buy pork hock in a bit! But it's not easy to buy; you have to find a good butcher!"
"In that case, Aunt Wu, hurry up and go! If you're too late, there won't be any left!"
"But your fifth sister said..."
"Oh dear, doesn't Aunt Wu trust Zhe'er? Don't worry, I'll definitely practice my skills diligently at home!"
"All right!"
After thinking for a while, Aunt Wu finally agreed, and also told Jing Zhe not to run around, otherwise Liu Jinghong would blame her when he came back. Jing Zhe nodded repeatedly.
When Aunt Wu went out, Jing Zhe asked Hanhan to come along, saying he would help carry the groceries, but he secretly gave Hanhan a wink. Whether Hanhan understood or not, Jing Zhe didn't care...
...
No sooner had Aunt Wu left than Jing Zhe stepped out the door.
Upon arriving at Wuxian Garden, I easily found my way upstairs.
The disciples in the garden were already used to this...
"Owner, I've arrived!"
Wang Yingqiu was sitting at the table, lost in thought.
Ever since she and Jing Zhe consummated their marriage, she often sits in a daze when she's alone, wondering if she's done something wrong, or why he doesn't come.
Thinking too much about it makes me smile bitterly. Why am I always so anxious and insecure now? Where did the decisive and efficient Wang Yingqiu go?
And she reminded herself that as a woman, she should be reserved.
But when she saw Jing Zhe enter the room, she could no longer maintain her composure and suddenly stood up.
Seemingly realizing she shouldn't have done that, she pursed her lips, sat down, and said, "You still remember to come?"
"Of course I remember! I can forget everything else, but I can't forget coming to my homeowner's place!"
He then put his arm around Wang Yingqiu's shoulder and explained how he was preparing for the martial arts test.
When he hugged Wang Yingqiu, she gave up resisting, resting her head on his shoulder and nodding repeatedly, without suspecting anything.
After talking for a while, the room gradually warmed up.
Jing Zhe picked up Wang Yingqiu around the waist and carried her into the inner boudoir.
Spring's beauty cannot be confined within the garden walls; sweet, gentle voices drift out.
Half an hour later, Jing Zhe sat up, his face full of excitement.
"Wow, these jujube pills are really powerful! They've taken this long even though I didn't take any this time?"
Her slender, soft fingers traced the contours of Jing Zhe's chest for a moment. "This jujube pill is so miraculous; it must be a rare and precious treasure. How could its effects be so short-lived?"
Then she rolled her eyes at him.
Like clouds turning into rain, the plum blossoms bloom twice.
...
When Jing Zhe was released again, it was already approaching noon.
"Oh dear, I have to go back!"
Jing Zhe stood up and said, "My fifth sister said she wanted to check my lightness skill. If she finds out I sneaked out, she'll probably beat me up again!"
Wang Yingqiu also sat up, complaining, "You're only good at bullying me, why don't you use that same energy on her?"
"..."
Jing Zhe gave Wang Yingqiu a strange look, wondering if it was the same thing. But then he thought about how the person he'd just been moaning under was Liu Jinghong…
Holy crap, that's exciting!
"Hey, have you noticed any changes in your body?"
Jing Zhe changed the subject and suddenly said.
After sensing it for a moment, Wang Yingqiu exclaimed with equal delight, "Yes, the improvement in your realm seems even more obvious this time. Oh, you've improved even more! Your internal energy has more than doubled compared to before!"
Jing Zhe didn't know how much he had grown, but he could feel that his body was filled with energy, and he felt much lighter.
"It seems I'll have to communicate with the garden owner more in the future; that's much faster than practicing with my fifth sister!"
This earned him another eye roll from Wang Yingqiu. She dressed him and saw him out.
...
As soon as Jing Zhe entered the house, he saw Wu Ma busy in the yard.
"Aunt Wu!"
"Zhe'er, where did you go? Didn't you say you were going to stay home and practice your skills?"
Jing Zhe smiled and said, "Yes, I practiced all morning! I had to go out for a bit, but I'm back soon. When my fifth sister and the others come back, Aunt Wu will tell me that I can stay home as long as I'm home!"
"Yeah?"
Before Wu Ma could speak, Liu Jinghong came out of the house.
"I've been back for half an hour already, you're really fast!"
"..."
"Fifth Sister, I really have been practicing, but I felt too restricted at home and couldn't fully utilize my skills, so I went out to practice!"
Jing Zhe patted his chest and said confidently.
"real?"
"real!"
"I'll give it a try!"
As soon as Liu Jinghong finished speaking, she flew over and headed straight for Jing Zhe. When her little fist was about to touch Jing Zhe's chest, although the force was much weaker, the speed was still very fast!
But then something amazing happened!
She actually failed to hit Jing Zhe!
It wasn't that she didn't want to fight, but... Jing Zhe had disappeared!
Yes, just as her fist was about to touch him, his figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.
Not only was she startled, but Jing Zhe himself was also startled!
After his second encounter with Wang Yingqiu, he felt incredibly full of energy, but as a martial arts novice, he had no idea just how much.
When Liu Jinghong flew over just now, his subconscious thought was to dodge, and he actually dodged it...
Liu Jinghong stopped and looked at him with some confusion.
"You... you actually entered the country?"
He then immediately questioned, "What exactly were you doing just now? How did you manage to break through to this level in such a short time? It seems... you're not much behind me anymore!"
Liu Jinghong's strength lies in her raw power; lightness skill is not her forte, but to reach her level is already quite remarkable.
Jing Zhe calmed himself down, thinking that he absolutely could not expose Wang Yingqiu, and simply smiled and said, "I told you I had been practicing all morning, but you didn't believe me. This is the result!"
"..."
