The front hall of the Prince of Jin's residence.
Behind the front hall is a secluded study, which no one except the Prince of Jin dares to enter on ordinary days.
At this moment, Prince Jin was sitting inside, playing with a teacup in his hand, looking relaxed. However, the Qingyang Sect Leader, who was standing to the side, was very puzzled, after all, his plan was Prince Jin's plan!
"Prince Jin, what should we do next...?"
After a long silence, the Qingyang Sect Leader finally spoke up and asked, "If we don't use some tricks, the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader will be his!"
The Prince of Jin looked up at him and asked, "What methods?"
After thinking for a long time, the Qingyang Sect Leader realized that Jing Zhe himself was already at the mid-stage of the sixth level, and the disciples of Tongtianque were unlikely to be his match. It was impossible to send them to assassinate him.
"or--"
"How would we explain killing him now?"
Before he could speak, the Prince of Jin glanced at him and said slowly.
Jing Zhe just defeated Lin Qingshan today, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will win tomorrow's decisive battle as well. At such a crucial moment, if he were to be killed, everyone would be suspicious!
Emperor An already harbored resentment towards Prince Jin, but he had no reason or evidence to avoid a direct confrontation. Killing Jing Zhe now, especially with Su Moyan present, was tantamount to courting death.
Let's wait another year, until he's fully prepared. Then we won't be afraid of Emperor An anymore, but not now.
The Qingyang Sect Leader lowered his head, looking somewhat dejected.
"If he becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance, then our entire plan will be ruined!"
Prince Jin smiled after hearing this: "That's not necessarily true! Let him take the title of Martial Arts Alliance Leader! So far, we only know him about the Heaven and Earth Sect, and I've already sent people to inquire; no one has heard of this sect again. As long as we can control him..."
The Qingyang Sect Leader's eyes lit up, but he still said worriedly, "There are too many people and too many eyes in Jinxi, so it's not easy to make a move. But once he returns to Jingzhou, we'll have even less of a chance to act!"
The Prince of Jin smiled and shook his head, then stood up and walked to his side, whispering a few words. The Qingyang Sect Leader's eyes lit up, and he laughed.
...
After spending a brief moment with Qiu Qianqian, she didn't dare linger, as there was a martial arts competition in the afternoon. She straightened her clothes and left.
Jing Zhe then went to Kunlun Mirror.
Unlike before, the disciples of Kunlun Mirror treated him with much greater respect this time. Even Zhou Tong, who had previously disliked him, was now bowing and scraping – Lin Qingshan was almost beaten to death, and he didn't think he could be stronger than Lin Qingshan…
Sometimes, fists are just that useful.
After greeting Pei Chunjing, Jing Zhe went to Pei Yunxi's room. She was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping her sword. The sharp blade gleamed with a pale light, which was awe-inspiring to behold.
Fourth Sister truly lives up to her name; even her hobbies are unique!
"Fourth Sister!"
Jing Zhe smiled.
Pei Yunxi looked up at him, her eyes flickering.
This younger brother, whom she had always seen as a little boy, one day not only grew taller than her but also surpassed her in martial arts skills. More importantly, he became a real man, and all her sisters became his women…
This made her feel quite uneasy even though she kept a straight face when facing Jing Zhe.
"Why did you come here? Didn't you go see Third Sister?"
Although Pei Yunxi appeared perfectly normal, Jing Zhe sensed a hint of jealousy in her words.
So she laughed and said, "If Third Sister wants to see it, Fourth Sister wants to see it too! They are all my dearest and most beloved sisters, how can I favor one over the other?"
He tried to get closer to her, so he sat down next to Pei Yunxi. However, seeing the sharp sword so close to him, he felt a little nervous and moved away from her.
Seeing this, Pei Yunxi chuckled, wiped the sword a couple more times, and then casually put it away and placed it aside.
Jing Zhe was relieved and moved to sit next to Pei Yunxi, but he was still a little nervous, afraid that she would suddenly lose her temper and hurt him.
Aside from being a little tense, Pei Yunxi didn't react in any other way, which reassured Jing Zhe.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Fourth Sister, I have already healed Third Sister's injuries, so you don't need to worry about her anymore!"
Pei Yunxi turned her head and glanced at him, her eyes filled with complicated emotions, and asked, "Are you sure you cured him?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Jing Zhe patted his chest and said.
"I mean, are you sure it's cured?"
As Pei Yunxi spoke, she deliberately emphasized the word "cure," and Jing Zhe immediately understood what she meant.
Looking at Pei Yunxi's calm expression, Jing Zhe didn't know how much she actually knew—given Qingqiu's personality, she probably wouldn't tell her everything, right?
She took a deep breath and said, "Fourth Sister, actually, my master gave me some enhanced jujube pills the night before last..."
So Jing Zhe briefly recounted what had happened, especially emphasizing the unique effects of the enhanced jujube pills and the prerequisites for taking them.
When Pei Yunxi heard that she had to find a woman who had never practiced martial arts and whose cultivation level was similar to hers, her face suddenly turned bright red, for some reason.
"So, seeing how badly my third sister was injured yesterday, and how long her recovery would take, I couldn't bear it. That's why I thought of using the enhanced version of the jujube pills to help her heal..."
"Bang!"
Before she finished speaking, Pei Yunxi slammed her hand on the bed and sat up, her eyes wide with anger as she glared at Jing Zhe and said, "You slept with Third Sister just to help her heal her injuries?"
"..."
Seeing Pei Yunxi's angry expression, Jing Zhe was stunned. He didn't know why she was angry, nor how to answer, fearing that he would step on a landmine if he answered incorrectly.
“I can tell that Third Sister likes you. Even if she says it's for healing her wounds—that's only because she's a woman, she's shy and embarrassed to say it. But you're a man, what's there to be embarrassed about? Or is it that you really just want to help her heal her wounds?”
Pei Yunxi put her hands on her hips, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.
She was indeed angry.
Pei Yunxi couldn't understand Qingqiu's affection for Jingzhe—she could understand Qingqiu's love for Jingzhe, since she felt the same way, but she couldn't comprehend or comprehend the kind of love Qingqiu had for a man.
Even so, this did not stop her from supporting her third sister, so even though she knew that the two of them had a romantic relationship, she did not show any rejection or other opposition.
But Jing Zhe's attitude infuriated her, as if Jing Zhe's sleeping with Qing Qiu wasn't genuine, but rather a pretext for healing to have sex for the sake of having sex.
While feeling sorry for Qingqiu, I also felt a little sad. If he really is that kind of person, then what will they do in the future?
A sense of sympathy inevitably arises; while sympathizing with others, one also sympathizes with oneself, as if one can see a reflection of one's future in Qingqiu…
