Seeing Jing Zhe remain silent with his eyes darting around, and fearing he might be lying, Su Mochen cut him off directly, saying first, "Don't say you trained with Master Wang. I'm not stupid, and I wouldn't believe you!"
"..."
Jing Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then asked with some curiosity, "Why did Senior Sister think of the Garden Master?"
He had never mentioned this to Su Mochen before.
"Isn't it easy to guess? There aren't many women in Jingzhou City who know martial arts, and they're all beautiful. Besides, who else could you have any dealings with? Moreover, I also know that the women of Wuxian Pavilion all know the dual cultivation method. If you were just relying on your jujube pills, it would be impossible for you to have made such rapid progress!"
After listening to Su Mochen's analysis, Jing Zhe was convinced.
Why did both Zhu Xinning and Su Mochen demonstrate such superb investigative abilities today?
For men, especially for Jing Zhe who was determined to liberate countless beautiful women, this was hardly good news…
So he smiled and said, "Since Senior Sister has already guessed it, it's because of the Garden Master's dual cultivation, combined with taking the jujube pills, that's why this happened!"
"Hmph, you're lying!"
Su Mochen snorted coldly: "Wang Yingqiu's own cultivation level is only a little over the fourth level, how could that be?"
Jing Zhe smiled and said, "What Senior Sister was talking about was before. It's not just me who benefits from taking the jujube pills; the same goes for the Garden Master. That's why the Garden Master's cultivation level has now reached the fifth level!"
"real?"
Su Mochen was skeptical.
"Of course, I never lie."
Jing Zhe patted his chest, somewhat guilty, and said.
"You better not lie to me, or I'll—"
Jing Zhe looked at her: "Just what?"
"On behalf of Master, in the name of the Left Protector of the Heaven and Earth Sect, I am punishing you! You are to reflect on your mistakes in seclusion and are to remain within the sect!"
"..."
The Left Protector punished the Right Protector?
Jing Zhe was speechless for a moment, then said, "Senior sister, although we have a sect, we don't even have a place to sit. You want me to reflect on my mistakes inside the sect? That's obviously unrealistic!"
Su Mochen rolled her eyes at him, put her hands on her hips, and said in a serious tone, "Wherever I am, that is our sect! I'll punish you by making you reflect on your mistakes in the Dust-Sweeping Palace!"
"..."
Just say you want to keep me by your side!
Jing Zhe followed Su Mochen into the Fuchen Palace. Guizhi poured tea for the two of them, glanced at them, and felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she closed the door and quietly withdrew.
The sudden silence left Jing Zhe somewhat unaccustomed to it.
So she started a conversation: "Senior sister, does our Heaven and Earth Sect have any secret formulas, like the kind where if someone eats it, they have to take an antidote every now and then, or they'll die?"
Su Mochen looked at Jing Zhe with a speechless expression after hearing this.
"Do you think our Heaven and Earth Sect is an evil cult? How could we have such a thing? However, my master left me a secret tonic, which does resemble your description somewhat."
How are they similar?
"This tonic can gather a kind of energy in the body. After taking it, you will feel extremely uncomfortable. You need to practice your internal energy and spread it evenly in your body before you feel better. But this tonic seems to be addictive. After the energy calms down, your body seems to have gotten used to the previous state, and you will feel uncomfortable if you don't take the medicine."
"What if someone who doesn't know martial arts eats it?"
"People who don't know martial arts... will probably suffer from an imbalance of qi for a long time... Of course, this tonic also comes with an antidote, just in case some people can't regulate their qi on their own after taking it."
After hearing this, Jing Zhe's eyes lit up: "Senior Sister, do other sects have this kind of tonic that our sect has?"
Su Mochen rolled his eyes at him, "If other sects had it, could it still be considered our sect's secret tonic?"
"That's great! Senior sister, can I have a few?"
"You can practice martial arts much faster than taking tonics, what do you need it for?"
"Hehe, I'm useful!"
Su Mochen didn't refuse and gave him some.
"By the way, senior sister, what's the name of this powerful tonic?"
Whether it's Half-Moon Powder or Soul-Capturing Incense, their names alone tell you they're powerful. This tonic must also have an impressive name.
"Um... Master said he forgot."
"..."
It seems that my master, whom I've never met, is unreliable!
"How about we call it 'self-destruct ball'?"
"Self-explosion pill..."
Su Mochen's face darkened. He suddenly felt that it would be better to just call it a tonic. However, he thought that if that was how it was called, then so be it. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Senior sister, according to you, you are now at the peak of the fifth level, and you also have the boost from the self-destruct pill, so why can't you break through to the sixth level?"
"The difference between the fifth and sixth levels is too great. All the breakthroughs from the first to the fifth level combined are not as difficult as the breakthrough from the fifth to the sixth level, because the realm is completely different at the sixth level. After all, only at the sixth level can one have the opportunity to glimpse the realm of a grandmaster."
I've been at the peak of the fifth level for quite some time now, but I still haven't found the right opportunity. And what you said... the self-destruct pill, it's had almost no effect on me now. I even thought it was the end, but you gave me motivation. Once you get a little stronger, you can help me train..."
When it came to practicing martial arts, Su Mochen finally couldn't hold back and lowered his head with a blush.
Looking at her flushed neck and drooping head, Jing Zhe didn't hesitate. He took two steps forward, pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll work hard and try to help Senior Sister practice as soon as possible!"
"..."
When Jing Zhe put his arm around Su Mochen, his mind went completely blank.
This wasn't the first time Jing Zhe had embraced her. Back when she hadn't yet revealed her true gender, "Chen Mo" had been embraced by Jing Zhe, but her mindset then was completely different from now.
He already knows her identity, and he still treats her like this…
What was he thinking?
Su Mochen felt as if countless ants were crawling inside her, her heart filled with panic. She bit her lip and said, "I'm... your senior sister... you can't... do this to your senior sister..."
"If a senior sister isn't meant to be cherished, then having a senior sister is meaningless!"
After Jing Zhe finished speaking domineeringly, he turned Su Mochen's body around, lifted her delicate face, and kissed her directly.
In fact, Jing Zhe had already thought it through before coming.
When he used to read novels, what he hated most was those stories about messing around with each other and then not getting back together. He said, "Why don't you just become a monk?"
Therefore, he fully learned from his experience and decided that as long as someone was attractive, he would definitely take her after flirting with her!
His acquaintance with Su Mochen dates back to the Yongzhou era. Unknowingly, Jing Zhe had seen most of Su Mochen's secrets—if he didn't take responsibility for that, he would be the epitome of a scumbag.
He used to be wary of Su Mochen's princess status, but after learning that she was his senior sister, he came up with a wicked idea and was no longer so afraid.
So, we're offering chickens voluntarily!
"Mmm...mmm..."
