"It seems I underestimated you! You not only have His Majesty's gold medal, but also the tokens of General Jinghong and Qingyun Sect. No wonder you dared to go directly to Jinxi; it turns out you have something to rely on!"
"However, I'll say it again: you underestimate Prince Jin! Even our Tongtianque is under Prince Jin's control. Do you think he'd be afraid of other sects? Over the years, if it weren't for this martial arts tournament, which sect would dare to venture into Jinxi?"
"So, I'll take all three tokens for you! If you want them, when you get to Jinxi, don't go anywhere else, come to Tongtianque and get them from me first, understand, you pig?"
"By the way, if you encounter anyone on the road, or if you are questioned by someone in Jinxi, you can take out the crescent-shaped token I left you—you must keep it safe! Don't be fooled by the fact that there are no words on it; it is a unique token of our Tongtianque, and no one in Jinxi is unfamiliar with it! If you dare to lose it, believe me, I won't give you any of these three tokens!"
He was told to take this token and exchange it for the other three—Jing Zhe thought this was absurd and completely pointless, and he didn't know what Qiu Qianqian was thinking.
"This bottle of...power pills, I actually wanted to take it and throw it away! You're already...so...powerful, why do you still need to take this stuff? Fine, I'll give you a chance, throw it away yourself!"
"..."
Seeing this, Jing Zhe thought to himself how close he had come to disaster. She almost threw him away thinking he was some kind of miracle cure. If that had happened, who would he have complained to?
When Qiu Qianqian was with him, she probably didn't say as much as she wrote on the letter. Jing Zhe could imagine how adorable Qiu Qianqian was, wearing his oversized clothes, tilting her head, thinking and writing as she went!
Jing Zhe thought that this was the end, since the letter was already filled to the brim.
However, when he casually flipped through his fingers, he was stunned.
Is there more on the other side?
“Pig, your dagger is really beautiful! It’s even more beautiful than my ‘Moonlit Sword’. I know that if I asked you for it in person, you would definitely give it to me, but I’m not the kind of person who takes advantage of others, so I’m leaving the Moonlit Sword with you. Hmm, aren’t you touched?”
I really don't dare to move!
Jing Zhe was almost in tears. He quickly went to look for it and saw a dagger hanging on the door. It was the one that Qiu Qianqian had been hiding in her boots. He was speechless.
That's the Emperor's Sword!
If people find out that the Emperor's Sword is missing, they'll lose their heads!
Fortunately, Emperor An hadn't checked the Emperor's Sword, and he was about to head to Jinxi, so it should be relatively safe, as long as he didn't draw the sword again to scare Bai Qingyuan...
"Alright, I'm leaving, pig. Remember, when you get to Jinxi, bring my token to exchange for yours!"
"..."
Looking at the neat handwriting on the letter, it was as if Qiu Qianqian was standing in front of him. Jing Zhe thought for a moment and seemed to understand something.
Having lived in Jinxi for many years, perhaps no one understands the terror of Prince Jin better than Qiu Qianqian, which is why she kept advising him not to go; she must have been genuinely worried about him.
But he insisted on going, and she had no choice. So she deliberately took his token and made him go to Jinxi to find her first, just to protect him in the name of Tongtianque one more time.
That really shows great care and effort.
...
Since things had come to this point, Jing Zhe stopped thinking about it.
Last night there were strong winds, but today the weather has cleared up completely.
Jing Zhe found some clothes to put on, and then took the two quilts and all the sheets and blankets to the yard to air them out. If the sun rose later, they would be almost dry by the time the court session ended.
"Zhe'er~"
Just as Jing Zhe finished hanging up the last quilt, Zhu Xinning's voice drifted in as the door opened.
Startled, Jing Zhe quickly turned around.
"Second sister... no, Xin'er!"
He was so scared that his mouth agape.
Zhu Xinning paused for a moment, then narrowed her eyes: "Zhe'er, why don't you just call me Second Sister from now on!"
"Huh? Why?"
Then, Zhu Xinning snuggled up to her and said, "I am your second sister, and I was even happier to hear you call me second sister!"
As she spoke, she looked up at him tenderly, her body going limp.
Seeing that Zhu Xinning hadn't noticed the blanket, Jing Zhe took the opportunity to pull her into his arms and then pushed her to the side.
"Okay, then let's call her Second Sister! I also feel that calling her Second Sister seems... more exciting!"
Zhu Xinning's face flushed instantly, because she knew what kind of stimulation Jing Zhe was referring to, and her body went limp. Suddenly, she...didn't want to go to court anymore...
However, Jing Zhe was going to Jinxi tomorrow, and he had to attend court this morning no matter what, so she endured the heat and dampness on her body and managed to break free from his embrace.
Because she was afraid that if he hugged her any longer, she would not only be too weak to stand up, but she would also have to change the clothes she had just changed into that morning again…
She's only been separated from him for a day, and she's already craving him both physically and emotionally. What will she do when he goes to Jinxi?
Zhu Xinning pondered for a moment, then said, "Zhe'er, let's go to court first! After the morning court session, you'll have all the time to yourself, okay?"
Jing Zhe chuckled: "Alright, as long as Second Sister doesn't say it's over!"
"snort!"
Zhu Xinning's cheeks flushed, but she still said, "No way!"
"..."
Jing Zhe was taken aback, thinking to himself that tonight... no, it should be from the daytime after the court session, it was likely to be a protracted and fierce battle!
Sigh, I suddenly feel a little sorry for her!
Can you give him a day off?
I have to clock in for work every day and work overtime every day. It's exhausting!
With that thought in mind, Jing Zhe prepared to push Zhu Xinning away.
"Wait a minute."
She had only taken a couple of steps when Zhu Xinning suddenly stopped, got out of Jing Zhe's arms, and walked towards the guest room.
Jing Zhe's body tensed up instantly!
"Second sister, it's getting late, what are you doing?"
As he spoke, he came to her side.
"Why is the guest room door open? And it looks like something's been moved on the bed. What happened?"
As they were talking, Zhu Xinning had already arrived outside the door.
"Ah... because I slept here last night!"
Looking up at him with some suspicion, Zhu Xinning asked, puzzled, "You have a room, why are you sleeping here?"
"This one..."
When a man lies, his brain works at lightning speed; in an instant, he has come up with a reason.
"Because my room is considered my and my second sister's new room, and I'm all alone, I don't want to sleep here. I keep thinking about the times when my second sister is by my side, so how can I sleep at night? That's why I changed to this guest room, and it's a bit better now!"
"..."
