Not only were Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu stunned on the spot, but the onlookers were also dumbfounded, exclaiming in their hearts, "Wow!"
I was wondering if he could get a triple kill, or with someone, but I never expected him to get a quadra kill...
Although they resented and disdained Jing Zhe's identity, and looked down on his frail physique and inability to lift heavy objects, they still admired his shameless character...
A man should be like this!
"Why...why...are you like this?"
Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu were stunned for a moment, then finally couldn't help but ask in unison.
"What do you mean?"
Jing Zhe feigned ignorance and asked.
"..."
The two were immediately stumped, their faces turning slightly red. They couldn't very well ask him directly, "Why did you barge in?"
With so many people watching, Mu Qingren dared not show her inner emotions. Her face remained calm, but her hand secretly fell down and, hidden under her long dress, touched Jing Zhe's left thigh, giving it a hard slap!
As expected of Mu Qingren's apprentice, Wang Yingqiu did the same thing as Mu Qingren, grabbing Jing Zhe's right leg and giving him a hard slap as well!
"Hiss~"
Jing Zhe took a breath.
This tangy flavor is amazing, you'll know once you try it!
"What's wrong?"
After pinching him, the two women knew that Jing Zhe dared not say anything, so they both asked him casually.
"Um...it's nothing. I just had a dream last night where I was scratched by two kittens, and it still hurts just thinking about it!"
"hiss!!"
"What's wrong?"
Then I thought of…
"hiss!!!"
"What's wrong now?"
The two women remained calm and asked with an air of nonchalance.
"Uh...no...nothing..."
After he finished speaking, the two slender hands that were attached to his thighs reluctantly moved down. At this moment, a layer of fine sweat had appeared on Jing Zhe's back. He smiled bitterly to himself: This is another high-level Shura field!
However, for Jing Zhe, who already had some experience, he felt that the best way to deal with a love triangle was to act swiftly and decisively, and his actions had to be "steady, accurate, and ruthless." Especially since both of these women had had intimate contact with him, this kind of love triangle was actually the easiest to resolve.
Unfortunately, there were too many people around, so he couldn't use his skills. He sneered inwardly: You two... just wait for me in bed!
Since he had said he was coming to interview, and there were two women present, he couldn't possibly repeat the same behavior he had shown to Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi—he couldn't possibly have one arm around each of them, could he?
So he said seriously, "Sect Leader Mu, the reason I've come here today is still to talk about the interview..."
"Oh, go ahead."
Mu Qingren glanced at him: Let's see what kind of interview you can do.
"Our headquarters of the Da'an Newspaper is in Jingzhou, but we plan to open branches in various cities of Anguo in the future. Therefore, being featured in our newspaper will definitely have a good publicity effect on the sect."
"oh."
Mu Qingren understood this principle.
"To be honest, if the newspaper were to open branches in other cities, it would be too weak and isolated compared to its current position in Jingzhou. Its information sources would also be limited. It would be better to form a strong alliance."
"Oh? How does this powerful alliance work?"
"Actually, I own a restaurant and a wine shop in Jingzhou. I plan to open the restaurant and wine shop along with the newspapers in various places to complement each other. But eating and drinking are just small-scale operations. If the newspapers want to expand, they need the support of more scholars, but my businesses are not attractive enough to scholars."
"Hmm, and then what?"
After he said that, Mu Qingren also became interested.
"So I'm wondering, does Pavilion Master Mu have any plans to expand Wuxian Garden to various locations? If so, then we can rely on each other. Pavilion Master Mu can leverage the official backing of our newspaper, while we can utilize the human resources behind Wuxian Garden..."
"Is President Jing trying to win us over on behalf of the imperial court?"
Mu Qingren looked at him and asked calmly.
Actually, the two of them had discussed these matters briefly last night. Mu Qingren was also interested, but considering that she couldn't rashly cooperate with the imperial court, and that if she agreed directly, wouldn't her relationship with Jing Zhe be exposed to Wang Yingqiu? So she didn't agree.
But unexpectedly, he said it in front of Wang Yingqiu, and I don't know what he meant.
"Sect Master Mu, there's no need to draw such a conclusion. It's really just a kind of cooperation, with only interests and no control."
"Master, I think this method is good..."
As Jing Zhe's first woman, Wang Yingqiu naturally wanted to help her man: "Didn't Master want to expand the influence of Wuxian Pavilion before, which is why he opened Wuxian Garden? It's just a pity that opening Wuxian Garden required too much effort, and opening a new city was too difficult, so it was shelved, right? Since... President Jing mentioned it, I think we can give it a try..."
If Da'an Newspaper and Wuxian Pavilion become partners, then will Master be able to have more contact with him, realize his good qualities, and silently accept him?
"..."
Mu Qingren looked at Wang Yingqiu, lost in thought. At this moment, Jing Zhe smiled and said, "There's no rush for this. Pavilion Master Mu can take her time to think about it. I can visit you at the pavilion these evenings..."
"..."
Mu Qingren didn't say anything, but she finally understood why Jing Zhe brought this up in front of Wang Yingqiu—it was so he could openly visit her at night!
This...bad guy! Her face flushed slightly, and she had no choice but to turn to the side and give a cold "hmm".
Wang Yingqiu didn't notice Mu Qingren's change and assumed that her plan with Jing Zhe had succeeded. She happily winked at Jing Zhe...
Jing Zhe chuckled to himself. It was an unexpected stroke of luck, but the result was good. Tonight, he could sneak into Mu Qingren's room in front of Wang Yingqiu. At that time, would the rice bowl be far behind?
Looking at the group of Wuxian Pavilion disciples behind him, as if remembering something, Jing Zhe asked, "Pavilion Master Mu, you traveled with Young Master Yu Haixing on the way to Jinxi, so why didn't you see him come to Jinxi?"
Yu Haixing went to Jingzhou a month in advance, eagerly waiting for Wang Yingqiu to come to the martial arts tournament. But when the tournament started, he was nowhere to be found.
Mu Qingren said calmly, "Oh, Yu Haixing doesn't know martial arts. The reason he was sent to Jingzhou was only because his father begged my master, and I had no choice but to do so. Now that I'm the head of the sect, I can stop anyone from coming whenever I want, even if his father is the governor!"
"..."
These words were spoken with unparalleled arrogance, as if this was the dashing Pavilion Master Mu who had first met Jing Zhe, wielding a long sword and riding a horse.
Of course, we still need to get down to business.
"Sect Master Mu, there's something else I'd like to ask you to recommend me for this martial arts tournament..."
He doesn't need to say it; Mu Qingren will definitely agree.
But now that Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi are watching, he has to put on an act.
