Chapter 4 Master's Wife, I am worthy of Senior Sister Yue Lingshan!
Chapter 4 Master's Wife, I am worthy of Senior Sister Yue Lingshan!
"Mother, didn't we agree that you'd come down the mountain with me today to buy fabric for my wedding dress?"
Ning Zhongze then remembered the promise she made to her daughter yesterday.
"Okay, you can go now."
Ning Zhongze waved for Yue Lingshan to leave.
Yue Lingshan didn't think much of it and turned to leave.
After she left, Zhao Qing climbed down from the roof beam.
Ning Zhongze threw the clothes at Zhao Qing and complained, "It's all your fault. You had to come so early in the morning. Ling Shan almost found out."
"Hehe, Master's wife, this will be found out sooner or later, it doesn't matter."
Zhao Qing said nonchalantly.
However, Yue Lingshan's arrival was indeed thrilling.
But Ning Zhongze looked at Zhao Qing, her mind in turmoil, realizing she had made a mistake.
Zhao Qing's apprentice is not as simple as he seems!
"Zhao Qing, your lightness skill... has it already broken through to the acquired realm?"
Ning Zhongze asked.
"Yes, I broke through after my master's wife gave me some guidance yesterday," Zhao Qing replied.
Ning Zhongze's face darkened, and she said seriously, "Don't joke around, I'm asking about serious matters!"
"It was yesterday, I'm not lying."
Zhao Qing composed himself and answered seriously.
"So, just how good are your martial arts skills...?"
"Master's wife."
Zhao Qing interrupted her, changing the subject: "Are you really going to let your senior sister marry Lin Pingzhi?"
He knew what Ning Zhongze wanted to ask, but he didn't want to talk about it.
As a master who had acquired his skills later in life, Ning Zhongze immediately realized that Zhao Qing's lightness skill was not from the Huashan School.
Given that Zhao Qing was a menial disciple whose martial arts skills had always been poor, his sudden increase in strength was indeed suspicious.
Before Zhao Qing could figure out how to explain, she changed the subject.
Ning Zhongze also noticed his concerns, which was exactly what she had been worried about.
The Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was a martial art passed down through generations of the Lin family, and the direct cause of the Lin family's annihilation was the sword manual.
If Lin Pingzhi knew that the sword manual was in Yue Buqun's hands, he would definitely take revenge.
He might not be able to defeat Yue Buqun, but he will definitely make a move against Ling Shan.
"Ling Shan likes Lin Pingzhi, but their marriage was arranged by your master."
"Lin Pingzhi is not a good husband. If Lingshan could choose for herself, I wouldn't let her marry him."
Ning Zhong sighed and shook his head. Although he didn't want to, he was powerless to do anything about it.
She was still hesitant about whether to reveal Yue Buqun's secret to Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing looked at Ning Zhongze and clearly saw the struggle in her eyes.
Although she had an improper relationship with her master's wife, she still loved Yue Buqun in her heart.
Ning Zhongze did this because she loved Yue Buqun too deeply, and eventually her love turned into hatred, which led her to this point.
Zhao Qing didn't want to see this outcome.
Now that Yue Buqun isn't killing him, he's going to turn around and get rid of Yue Buqun!
However, Zhao Qing is no match for Yue Buqun now, and even if he kills Yue Buqun now, his master's wife will not completely give up on him.
The master's wife may still feel guilty towards Yue Buqun, and may also suffer another blow.
Therefore, if Zhao Qing wants to be with Ning Zhongze, he must first make his master's wife see Yue Buqun's true colors and make her give up completely!
In addition, he would have to put in some effort to truly win his teacher's wife's heart.
Starting with Yue Lingshan is a good approach.
Zhao Qing immediately said, "Master's wife, you're right, Lin Pingzhi is indeed not good enough for Senior Sister!"
"Lin Pingzhi appears innocent on the surface, but he is actually very cunning. He carries a blood feud and tends to act in extreme ways."
"Once he finds out that his master also wants the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, he will definitely do whatever it takes to take revenge."
Ning Zhongze nodded in agreement, then sighed and said, "I understand all that, but Ling Shan likes him, and your master needs to win him over. What can I do?"
Zhao Qing solemnly made a throat-slitting gesture.
He has a corruption system; killing someone increases his corruption value, but he hasn't decided who to kill yet.
He doesn't kill people indiscriminately, and after careful consideration, he felt that Lin Pingzhi was the most suitable.
Killing Lin Pingzhi would both prevent Yue Lingshan from marrying him and grant me a system reward.
This is indeed killing two birds with one stone.
Ning Zhongze turned pale with fright; she never expected Zhao Qing to be so ruthless!
She quickly waved her hand and said, "Absolutely not!"
"Pingzhi is a pitiful child. Our Yang family owes him a great debt; we cannot hurt him any further!"
"Master's wife, I understand your concerns, so I'll handle this!"
Zhao Qing resolutely declared, "I'll be the bad guy, I'll do all the dirty and hard work!"
"I'd die happy just to help you solve this problem!"
Ning Zhongze was stunned by Zhao Qing's determined eyes and sincere words.
"Zhao Qing, you..."
Ning Zhongze's eyes were glazed over, and her heart was racing.
Although she and Yue Buqun were husband and wife, they had no feelings for each other.
She approached Zhao Qing last night only to get revenge on her husband and satisfy her own desires.
I never imagined I would develop feelings for this little apprentice.
But now, Ning Zhongze's heart was indeed pounding uncontrollably.
She clearly felt the intense and deep love in Zhao Qing's eyes and immediately didn't know how to face it.
"Mother, are you feeling better yet?"
When Ning Zhongze was feeling uneasy, Yue Lingshan outside the door drew her attention back.
"Zhao Qing, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said today."
"From now on, we should keep our distance."
She wanted to say that we should pretend it never happened, and not mention it again or come back.
But when she thought of Zhao Qing's extraordinary skills and affectionate gaze, she couldn't resist in the end.
"Coming, coming, you silly girl, what's the rush?"
Ning Zhongze quickly tidied her clothes and went out despite feeling unwell.
As a martial arts practitioner, this minor issue does not affect my actions.
……
In front of the Huashan Mountain gate.
Yue Lingshan linked arms with Ning Zhongze, with Lin Pingzhi following behind.
The three of them were on their way to town to buy things.
"Master's wife, senior sister, junior brother Lin, what's going on here...?"
Zhao Qing quickly caught up with the three of them and asked with a smile.
As soon as Zhao Qing appeared, Ning Zhongze glared at him, but Zhao Qing pretended not to see it and walked straight up to him.
"I'm going down the mountain with your senior sister and junior brother Lin to buy some things."
"Why did you leave the sect without permission instead of practicing martial arts properly?"
Ning Zhongze repeatedly gave Zhao Qing meaningful glances, warning him to stay on the mountain and not cause trouble.
Zhao Qing has already appeared; he's clearly here to cause trouble on purpose!
His main purpose for this trip was to find an opportunity to kill Lin Pingzhi in order to obtain the system reward.
In addition, he has never left the mountain gate since he transmigrated, and knows very little about this world.
So I also want to go down the mountain to take a look, maybe I can find more useful information.
"Master's wife, I haven't been feeling well lately and would like to go down the mountain to see a doctor."
Zhao Qing made up an excuse on the spot.
Ning Zhongze frowned, thinking to herself, "You were perfectly fine in the bedroom just now!"
"Oh? Is that so? Let your master's wife take your pulse."
As Ning Zhongze spoke, she stepped forward to take Zhao Qing's pulse.
Zhao Qing held Ning Zhongze's hand tightly and gently pressed it against her forehead.
Ning Zhong felt the heat on Zhao Qing's forehead and immediately took a step back!
This heat is so high that it can cook an egg instantly.
"This is indeed a persistent high fever, let's go together then."
Ning Zhongze knew perfectly well that Zhao Qing was not sick at all; it was just a trick he was playing!
But instead of confronting him on the spot, she had no choice but to take him with her.
"Master's wife, I feel dizzy and weak all over..."
Zhao Qing deliberately pretended to be weak and leaned against his master's wife.
Ning Zhongze instinctively reached out to support the swaying Zhao Qing.
This guy actually dared to take advantage of her!
He nuzzled his head against her chest and patted her buttocks with his hand.
Doing this in front of his daughter and future son-in-law, Zhao Qing is deliberately picking a fight!
"Ding! Your character has triggered the Darkened System, and you have been rewarded with one year's worth of internal energy."
