59: Men are only not lustful when they're hanging on the wall.

"This Heaven and Earth Great Shift Manual was actually right beside him. Just as you said, as long as Zhang Wuji could maintain a heart of respect, he would have obtained the Ming Cult's supreme Mind-Cultivation Technique."

"Unfortunately, there are no 'what ifs' in this world," Daiqisi said with a smile.

"Well then, Sisi, I helped you find such an important item. Shouldn't you reward me a little?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"Reward? What kind of reward do you want?" Daiqisi looked at Duan Zhengchun with a smile.

"Well... hehe... I want to try..." Duan Zhengchun said with a wicked grin.

"Get lost! I can't believe you'd even think of that. Are you trying to gross me out to death?" Daiqisi's face flushed as she spoke crossly.

"You just don't get it. How dull. Forget it, let's go, let's go watch the show," Duan Zhengchun said, pouting.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's disappointed look, Daiqisi felt a pang in her heart and couldn't bear it.

However, the thought of Duan Zhengchun wanting her to do that was a bit much for her to accept.

But he had just said it was a bit of romantic fun between couples. If she refused like this, would he be disappointed?

Fine, considering he helped her find the Heaven and Earth Great Shift Manual, she would indulge his prank.

"Um, if you really want to, once we get back... I, I'll satisfy you," Daiqisi said in a low voice.

"What? Sisi, what did you just say? Once we get back? Really? You said it, and I'm taking you seriously." Duan Zhengchun's eyes lit up as he stepped toward Daiqisi and pulled her into his arms.

"Hmph, as expected, men are just creatures who think with their lower bodies."

"I really wonder when you'll ever stop being so lecherous."

Daiqisi gave a soft hmph, but she didn't break free from Duan Zhengchun's embrace.

Because she felt this embrace was truly warm and gave her a great sense of security, making her reluctant to leave.

"Haha... haven't you heard the saying? A man is a youth until he dies. Lecherous? That's just a hero's true colors."

"A man is only not lecherous when he is hanging on the wall," Duan Zhengchun said smugly.

"Hanging on the wall? What does that mean?" Daiqisi asked in confusion.

"It's simple: he's only not lecherous when he's dead."

"Even if he's in his seventies or eighties, his heart will still flutter when he sees a beautiful woman."

"Even eunuchs have needs in that department. Tell me, under what circumstances is a man not lecherous?" Duan Zhengchun said.

"But don't you know that lecherous men don't live long?" Daiqisi said with a frown.

"Isn't there another saying? 'To die beneath a peony flower is to remain a romantic even as a ghost'?" Duan Zhengchun said with a laugh.

"You... you're truly beyond help." Daiqisi shook her head helplessly.

No matter what she said, Duan Zhengchun could always find a reason to retort.

"No, you are my antidote. Without you, my life would lose its color; without you, my life would be meaningless..." Duan Zhengchun looked at Daiqisi with deep affection.

However, while Daiqisi was quite moved by the first part, the latter sentence immediately ruined the atmosphere.

"Drop dead, you're never serious. Let's go." Daiqisi's face reddened as she rolled her eyes and turned to walk away.

Seeing Daiqisi's shy appearance, a triumphant smile appeared at the corner of Duan Zhengchun's mouth.

"Heh, no matter how cold and aloof you are, in front of this Prince, I'll eventually make you completely submissive."

After Zhang Wuji left the secret chamber, he rushed to the Bright Summit's main hall at top speed.

He happened to see the leader of the Shaolin Temple this time, Great Master Kongwen, and Abbess Miejue of the Emei Sect forcing his maternal grandfather to commit suicide.

Zhang Wuji was furious; he immediately leaped into the center of the field.

"Stop! Everyone, please calm down. Don't fall for any tricks!" Zhang Wuji shouted to stop them.

No one expected that someone would actually jump out to stop them at this time.

This made the people of the Six Major Sects very annoyed.

Especially Abbess Miejue and Great Master Kongwen. They were on the verge of wiping out the Ming Cult, and for someone to jump out now was simply seeking death.

They had originally thought that anyone daring to intervene at this time would be a famous figure in the Martial Forest, but they didn't expect it to be a green youth.

"Brat, so it's you. Earlier, you survived three of my palm strikes. this Seat recognizes that your martial arts practice has not been easy, so I did not take issue with you."

"Instead of leaving quickly, you dare to come back and interfere. Do you really think this Seat wouldn't dare to kill you?" Abbess Miejue said with a dark expression.

This Zhang Wujis alias simply deserved to die. Previously at the foot of the mountain, he had stopped her from killing the people of the Heavenly Eagle Cult.

After taking three of her palm strikes and not dying, instead of finding a place to hide, he jumped out again to cause trouble. He was simply seeking death.

Behind Abbess Miejue, a beautiful woman with a delicate temperament, looking like a daughter from a humble but respectable family, was looking at the suddenly appearing Zhang Wuji with a gaze full of affection.

This person was none other than Zhou Zhiruo.

She had already recognized Zhang Wuji's identity when they were at the foot of the mountain.

However, she also knew how dangerous it would be for Zhang Wuji if his identity were leaked.

So, she directly pretended not to know Zhang Wuji.

But she couldn't help but look at Zhang Wuji, and this behavior was noticed by Ding Minjun, who was standing nearby.

With a cold sneer in her heart, she had long been dissatisfied with Zhou Zhiruo.

Ever since Zhou Zhiruo joined the Emei Sect, she had been greatly favored by Abbess Miejue.

In her view, Zhou Zhiruo pretended to be weak every day to gain sympathy, and because of this, her own status in the Emei Sect had plummeted.

All of this was because of Zhou Zhiruo.

Now that she saw Zhou Zhiruo and this man named Zhang Wujis alias making eyes at each other, she sneered inwardly; her chance had come.

"Junior Sister Zhiruo, do you know this Zhang Wujis alias?"

"I saw you pleading for this kid's life earlier at the foot of the mountain."

"Tell me, do you know his identity?" Ding Minjun said coldly.

Suddenly being called out by Ding Minjun, Zhou Zhiruo was startled. Her eyes were panicked, and she instinctively looked at her Master.

Abbess Miejue frowned and looked at Zhou Zhiruo.

"Master, I..."

Zhou Zhiruo didn't know how to answer. If she said she didn't know him, it seemed Zhang Wuji's identity would be discovered sooner or later.

At that time, if Master found out she had lied, she would certainly be Life Qi.

If Brother Wuji were implicated because of this, it would be bad.

But if she directly revealed Brother Wuji's identity now, with the people of the Six Major Sects present, he would likely be in grave danger.

"Enough, what time is it to be bickering like this? Solve the matter at hand first," Abbess Miejue said with a frown.

"Yes, Master..."

Since their Master had spoken, Ding Minjun didn't dare say anything more and could only give Zhou Zhiruo a resentful look.

Zhou Zhiruo felt a pang of bitterness. Originally, she hadn't wanted to join the Emei Sect, but to avoid causing trouble for Brother Wuji, she could only agree.
