"I'm not lying!"
Jing Zhe said in a serious tone, "Isn't it just that Fourth Sister actually wanted to be my wife, but was too embarrassed to say it, and ended up getting angry at me!"
Jing Zhe pursed his lips.
"Pah, you're just being presumptuous!"
Pei Yunxi's face turned even redder, not from holding it in, but from anger!
How could he be so shameless?
Speaking recklessly and spouting nonsense!
When did I... want to be his wife?
As a result, Pei Yunxi's sword became even more ferocious, and she stabbed wildly at Jing Zhe in the air, which drew cheers from the audience. Jing Zhe's four women, including Qingqiu, were dumbfounded: if they didn't know that this was her fourth sister, they would have thought that Pei Yunxi had some deep-seated hatred for Jing Zhe!
Jing Zhe was also speechless.
Why does saying this seem to have the opposite effect?
When she wasn't talking, Pei Yunxi was at least somewhat normal, but after she finished speaking, her energy level instantly jumped to 120!
After dealing with Pei Yunxi's fierce attacks several times, Jing Zhe was inwardly groaning, thinking that this couldn't go on—he could defeat Pei Yunxi directly, after all, he was a level above her.
But their relationship was already like this, and Pei Yunxi was still angry. If he were to actually defeat her in front of everyone, their relationship would probably never be able to recover.
So he could only soften and say, "Fourth Sister, I know I was wrong. I promise I'll never let you be my wife again, okay?"
"..."
Pei Yunxi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, her sword paused for a few seconds, allowing Jing Zhe a brief respite. He was overjoyed: it seemed to have worked—
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Before she could finish thinking, Pei Yunxi, her face full of anger, drew her sword again and struck three times in quick succession. The sword struck the Emperor's Sword, producing a crisp but unpleasant clanging sound, which drew another round of cheers from below.
Jing Zhe was almost in tears: You don't want to be my wife, and you don't want to be my wife either. What are you doing?
"Fourth Sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
Jing Zhe had no choice but to say this.
Where did you go wrong?
"..."
"Heh, you don't even know where you went wrong, yet you say you're wrong. It's obvious you're not sincere!"
"..."
From the time Jing Zhe took in Wang Yingqiu to his recent take in Mu Qingren, none of the situations he encountered had ever been as difficult as this. He even managed to admit his mistakes...
"If Fourth Sister tells me what I did wrong, then I'll admit I did wrong, okay?"
"no!"
Pei Yunxi unleashed another sword strike, coldly saying, "Let me ask you, you keep asking me to be your wife, so why should I be your wife?"
"Um... Fourth Sister, didn't I tell you not to do it anymore?"
"Then why won't you let me do it?"
"..."
As he spoke, he raised his sword and slashed, his fury was invincible, and he slashed Jing Zhe back more than ten meters. The cheers from below were endless, and Jing Zhe was so angry that he wanted to go down and give them each a sword.
Jing Zhe thought for a moment, then said with a bitter face, "Didn't Fourth Sister herself not want to do it?"
Whether I want to or not is my business, you can't say, understand?
"Okay, okay..."
Jing Zhe nodded quickly, like a chicken pecking at rice; at this moment, what Pei Yunxi said was the truth.
"Alright, then let me ask you again, what makes you think I should be your wife?"
"..."
The problem had come full circle, and Jing Zhe felt like he was going crazy.
This is a life-or-death question!
Jing Zhe thought for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "Fourth sister, look, both second and fourth sisters have become my wives, especially second sister, which was personally arranged by Father. As I said before, Father only knew about second sister's situation, which is why he only wrote to her. If Father had known about the other sisters' situations, he would definitely have made you all my wives too!"
"..."
Surprisingly, Pei Yunxi did not get angry this time.
After a moment, he continued, "So, do you think it's right for them to become your wives if you have no feelings for each other at all? Is it right for you to marry them just because of a letter your father wrote before he died?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe immediately retorted, "Fourth Sister, that's not right! Whether it's Second Sister or Third Sister, it's not because of a letter or anything else, but because of our feelings for each other! Even if no one says anything, we will still be together!"
Jing Zhe's relationships with Zhu Xinning and Qingqiu developed after getting to know each other, so he didn't want others to think that he was taking advantage of them or that his two sisters were repaying a debt of gratitude.
Pei Yunxi pouted: "How did things get to this point?"
“My second sister and I lived together in Jingzhou and liked each other, so our relationship developed! My third sister and I knew each other before we came to Jinxi. We had a few minor accidents back then, and my third sister saved me. After we came to Jinxi, our relationship became more complicated. We also had heart-to-heart talks, so our relationship developed too!”
Jing Zhe explained for a while.
Pei Yunxi's offensive swordsmanship had weakened considerably. When she came to Jing Zhe again, she asked another question: "So, you got together with your second and third sisters because you spent a lot of time together and your feelings for each other developed, right?"
Jing Zhe nodded hurriedly, excitedly saying, "Yes, yes!"
"So, if you've developed feelings for me, will you let me be your wife?"
"You've only known me for a few days and you're already asking me to be your wife?"
"You only contacted me a few times after we recognized each other, and you already want me to be your wife?"
"If you don't contact me or talk to me, then you have to make me your wife!"
The series of questions completely baffled Jing Zhe, especially the last one, which was not a question but a challenge. Jing Zhe suddenly realized what was going on!
Fourth Sister doesn't not want to be his wife—or rather, her only resistance now is that since they recognized each other, the two of them have hardly had any time alone together!
The two had only known each other for a short time, and Jing Zhe had been quite busy lately, spending all his free time with the women he was in committed to—such as Mu Qingren, Wang Yingqiu, Qiu Qianqian, and Qingqiu…
He neglected Pei Yunxi the only one!
Even if it were any other woman, she definitely wouldn't agree to it!
Jing Zhe breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering the problem; it seemed he had been negligent after all!
"Fourth Sister, I know I was wrong this time! I didn't talk to you much, I didn't ask how you've been all these years, I didn't ask if you've been doing well, or if you've thought about us. As your younger brother, I'm not even qualified. How can I have the face to ask you to be my wife?"
Hearing this, Pei Yunxi was angry, but she still nodded.
Finally, this blockhead has come to his senses!
She was not good at speaking to begin with, and yet she had to guide him at every turn, making him guess her grievances and dissatisfaction. Pei Yunxi felt that this was much more difficult than when she was breaking through her cultivation level!
Fortunately, it was a success!
But before she could be happy, Jing Zhe said:
"Then I won't let Fourth Sister be my wife!"
"..."
