Mu Qingren was already insecure, and at this moment she was so excited that she couldn't say a word.
But Wang Yingqiu couldn't stand seeing her master being bullied like this, so she retorted, "Qingqiu, don't talk about my master like that. Are you all any better off?"
What happened to us?
Qingqiu was furious that Wang Yingqiu and her apprentice could so blatantly defy her even after trying to steal her brother.
"What's wrong with you two? We, your master and your apprentice, are far inferior to you sisters!"
"..."
Pei Yunxi and Qingqiu blushed instantly. Pei Yunxi said somewhat displeasedly, "You can talk about my third sister, but don't talk about me! I have no relationship with him whatsoever! Also, if you really want to be with him in the future, then you'd better behave yourselves with me, because I am your fourth sister!"
As she spoke, Pei Yunxi put her hands on her hips, exuding a very domineering aura.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Wang Yingqiu did not believe it.
"Of course!"
Mu Qingren, who had remained silent until now, spoke up at this moment: "The situation between him and me in the air the day before yesterday was similar to today. The fighting was secondary; the main thing was... sweet talk. I've been observing you two for a long time now, and it's indeed the same as that day. Every time you seemed to be fighting, you said a lot of things, probably sweet talk..."
As soon as Mu Qingren finished her report, Qingqiu turned around in disbelief: "Fourth brother...didn't you say you'd never agree to be his wife like me? And you even mocked me..."
"I…"
Pei Yunxi was taken aback: "Did I say that?"
"I said that!"
Pei Yunxi's answer undoubtedly confirmed Mu Qingren's guess. Qingqiu then said, "Well, it seems she's right. They are master and disciple, and we are sisters. We really shouldn't laugh at them!"
"..."
Pei Yunxi was dumbfounded. Well, the enemy hadn't done anything, but her own people had been defeated first!
He then looked at Wang Yingqiu with some admiration and said, "It seems my third sister was right. Bringing your master in has indeed found a good helper! However, no matter how many of you there are, you still have to call me fourth sister from now on!"
"Whether you call us that or not depends on the future... If you really become his wife, then you'll be much later than us. So, if you do, you'll have to call us 'elder sister'!"
Seemingly emboldened by Wang Yingqiu, Mu Qingren seemed to have found her footing in this battle, and continued, "Also, he and I are truly in love, and many poignant and unforgettable things happened between us, which Yingqiu didn't introduce. Furthermore, Yingqiu didn't know we were together, so you don't need to wrongly accuse her..."
"..."
After Mu Qingren finished speaking, the others fell silent.
The scene fell eerily quiet once again…
...
As the only man in the entire arena, Jing Zhe knew it was time for him to leave the stage.
After analyzing the situation, he found a starting point.
Given their relationships, Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi are undoubtedly closer to him, since they are his sisters, his women, and his future women. If he were to speak up for them right away, it would inevitably make Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu feel disappointed and disheartened.
Sometimes, you can't treat everyone equally.
So he walked forward and, laughing and joking, hugged both Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu in his arms.
Logically speaking, they were outside, and there were other women present. Even if the master and apprentice had thick skin, they wouldn't let him hug them, let alone the two of them who had very thin skin.
But after a moment's thought, the two decided not to shake him off. Ren Jingzhe held her tightly, seemingly showing off to Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi: See? Our man!
Before Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi could get angry, Jing Zhe laughed and said, "Third sister, fourth sister, I've been wanting to introduce you to each other, but there hasn't been a suitable time. Today, I'll take this opportunity to let you all get to know each other!"
"Both the Pavilion Master and the Garden Master are my women. The Garden Master helped me learn martial arts and improve my cultivation level in the beginning, and my breakthrough to the sixth level this time is entirely thanks to the Pavilion Master. I genuinely like them both. From now on, we're all family. Third Sister and Fourth Sister, please don't quarrel when you meet!"
Hearing this, Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi just pursed their lips, but Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu were very moved.
Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu felt it was worth it to be able to so openly acknowledge their identities in front of his third and fourth sisters. They stopped arguing with them and leaned against him with satisfaction.
Jing Zhe patted the two of them and comforted them for a moment before letting go of them and coming to Qingqiu and Pei Yunxi's side—if the bowl of water was leveled, this bowl also had to be leveled, otherwise it would spill.
After embracing the two sisters, he laughed and said, "These are my third and fourth sisters, the women I've loved most since I was little. The Pavilion Master and the Garden Master must know them well too! Of course, we'll get to know them even better in the future, because my third and fourth sisters are also my wives!"
"..."
Qingqiu's expression remained unchanged, but Pei Yunxi blushed.
Before she could think of a rebuttal, Wang Yingqiu spoke first, saying, "Well, now that we know each other, we won't stay any longer."
After saying this, he gave Jing Zhe a meaningful look, then said "farewell" to Qing Qiu and Pei Yunxi, and left with Mu Qingren.
Outside the arena, only Jing Zhe and his two older sisters remained. Logically, now that they were all on the same side, the atmosphere should have eased. But to Jing Zhe's utter surprise, the atmosphere was even worse than before!
Qingqiu turned around, looked Pei Yunxi up and down for a moment, and then said, "Fourth brother, you just said no! Now even Zhe'er says you're his wife, let's see what you say now!"
If Pei Yunxi really becomes her younger brother's wife, Qingqiu should be happy, after all, her second sister and fifth sister are already married, so what difference would it make if there were a few more?
If he's really that powerful, he should make all seven of them his wives, so they can all be together again like when they were little!
The key point is that when she became Jing Zhe's wife, Pei Yunxi swore that she wouldn't, and even teased her many times, making Qing Qiu feel quite embarrassed.
But she secretly became his wife too…
Therefore, Qingqiu felt she had to explain this properly!
"I...I'm not!"
At the same time, I said to myself: At least not now!
She even pursed her lips and said, "He's talking nonsense, what does it have to do with me?"
After saying that, Pei Yunxi didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly ran away. Her steps were nimble, but she still had a guilty feeling.
This is completely out of character for Pei Yunxi, who was originally a chivalrous woman. No one would have thought she would have this side to her!
Watching her retreating figure, Jing Zhe and Qing Qiu exchanged a glance, both unable to suppress a smile.
