Qiu Zuo knew this perfectly well, but for some reason, he didn't dare to come out until his wife, Yu Jing, passed by the place where he was hiding.

Not long after Yu Jing walked away, he felt a sense of relief.

But the more I thought about it, the more I felt like I hadn't even appeared.

As Yu Jing's husband, he should have been able to question Yu Jing about why she was in Jun Wu Hui's room.
Did anything unspeakable happen while I was away from home?

But what if it actually happens?
Qiu Zuo was afraid to face it, after all, he had gone to great lengths to pursue Yu Jing in the past.

Over the years, Yu Jing has been very good to him, helping to take care of all the big and small things at home when he is busy, and she also has a well-behaved and sensible daughter.

But Jun Wu Hui is from a hidden family. His son, Jun Zhan Tian, ​​is so powerful, so I must be just as strong. Moreover, he has the background of a hidden family, which I cannot shake.

After thinking for a long time, Qiu Zuo decided to ask for clarification.

He clenched his fist and secretly vowed: If Jun Wu Hui really dares to act recklessly, he will fight to the death to get justice!
But when he arrived in the front yard and saw his wife pruning the flowers, most of his courage vanished.

Yu Jing wore an elegant long dress, and the sunlight dappled through the shadows of the trees, making her so beautiful that it made his heart flutter.

What if things aren't as he thinks? If he were to question his wife recklessly, she might get angry. Thinking of this, he couldn't bring himself to voice any of his questions, fearing that a rash question would damage their relationship.

Yu Jing had noticed her husband's unusual behavior earlier. She put down the scissors and said softly, "What's wrong? You look like you want to say something but can't."

"I...I've already told you, don't be angry." Qiu Zuo rubbed his hands together, like a child who had done something wrong.

Only after receiving his wife's approval did he stammer out what he had just seen, deliberately avoiding the speculation that made him most uneasy.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jing's fingertips trembled slightly.

She did indeed still have feelings for Jun Wuhui, but their relationship was completely innocent.

After calming herself down, she said frankly, "I am glad that you can ask me directly. To tell you the truth, back then I was just one of Jun Wuhui's many followers, just following him into the secret realm to get some resources."

She counted on her fingers: "Xuanji, Qinghe, Zixi. You know all of these. They were all your companions back then. But Jun Wuhui's Daoist partner has always been only Luo Zixi."

Qiu Zuo breathed a sigh of relief. His wife had always been dignified and self-controlled, and she certainly didn't seem like the type to do anything out of line.

It turned out to be just an old acquaintance reunited; I had been overthinking it.

Seeing her husband's expression soften, Yu Jing rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Let me tell you a secret, Jun Wu Hui is already at the peak of the Saint Realm, single-mindedly seeking to ascend to immortality, unlike you, a good-for-nothing who only knows how to indulge in romantic love all day long."

"Yes, yes, yes, Madam is right to reprimand you." Qiu Zuo smiled ingratiatingly, massaging his shoulders and back. "I'm just too concerned about you."

Although the misunderstanding was cleared up, Yu Jing felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

She wished that Jun Wuhui could be like an ordinary man, with some worldly desires and desires.

It is precisely this detachment from worldly affairs that makes him stand out from the crowd.

The misunderstanding between the couple was resolved, and Qiu Zuo admired Jun Wu Hui's abilities and composure. No wonder he could reach the peak of the Saint Realm; he was just different from ordinary people.

If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of such a beautiful woman.

But then again, perhaps it is precisely this mindset that prevents me from improving my cultivation and limits me from worldly constraints.

Thinking of this, Qiu Zuo suddenly had an epiphany, and the aura around him began to change continuously, faintly resonating with heaven and earth.

Even more surprisingly, the bottleneck in his cultivation that had been stagnant for many years actually began to loosen!
"Is this...a breakthrough?" Qiu Zuo stared at his hands in disbelief, his voice trembling with excitement. Yu Jing's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, then she smiled and said, "Congratulations, husband, on your enlightenment. Go quickly, don't miss this rare opportunity."

Qiu Zuo nodded emphatically, not bothering to say anything more, and turned to run towards the secluded training room.

At this moment, he finally understood that the reason why his cultivation had stagnated over the years was because he was too preoccupied with romantic love and was trapped by worldly attachments.

After her husband left, Yu Jing sighed softly.

Just then, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and Qiu Qingxia skipped in, humming a little tune, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Mother!" The girl rushed into Yu Jing's arms like a joyful little deer.

Yu Jing gently tidied her daughter's disheveled hair and asked softly, "What good thing happened today that made our Qingxia so happy?"

Qiu Qingxia's eyes lit up as if she were recalling something, then she said excitedly, "When we were registering today, Young Master Jun crushed all the other geniuses just by releasing his aura! And to spite those who were provoking him, he even put his arm around my waist!"

At this point, the girl's pretty face flushed, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

In her innocent mind, Jun Zhantian was surrounded by beautiful women, and the fact that he only hugged her must mean something special.

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Yu Jing felt a mix of emotions.

She knew this feeling all too well. Back then, a cup of tea that Jun Wu Hui casually handed her could make her savor the memory for days, but in the end...
"Qingxia, your mother will accompany you to watch the grand competition in a few days. If there are any suitable young talents..."

Qiu Qingxia pouted and interrupted, "I don't want anyone else! Young Master Jun is the best!"

Yu Jing hesitated, then shook her head helplessly.

It seems the only way forward is to wait until the grand competition and let my daughter see for herself how Jun Zhantian treats all those beautiful women around him; perhaps that will bring her to her senses.

At the same time, Jun Zhantian went to his father's room and vividly described the scene of registration that day.

Jun Wuhui stood with his hands behind his back by the window, gazing up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle.

Before he even spoke, his imposing aura was already emanating from him.

That's how the older generation of pretentious artists are; they always seem to be showing off.

After Jun Zhantian finished speaking, Jun Wuhui said calmly, "Do you understand why I let you participate in this competition?"

Jun Zhantian replied confidently, "The Eastern competition has too many rules, but here they will stop at nothing, using pills, magical artifacts, and underhanded tactics. This is the best test for me."

At first, Jun Zhantian didn't understand why his world, which was full of strong people in the East, could crush even the best young talents like Lin Xun and Yi Yu, was no match for him.

The cultivators of the same generation in the west are even weaker. Wouldn't it be like bullying a noob if I came here?

It wasn't until after he signed up that the beautiful women around him told him that there weren't as many rules in the West, especially in these more chaotic areas.

Aside from a very few top-tier sects, cultivators have some sense of shame and won't resort to underhanded tricks in a fair and square manner.

Of course, this also shows that they just wouldn't do this openly, but behind the scenes they are all ruthless.

Moreover, these ordinary cultivators will stop at nothing to win.

Let alone on the field, it's common for people to come and kill you halfway through the game or poison your food.
