Chapter 197: 0140 The Good Child in Mr.’s Eyes

Shi Qingjun was stunned for a moment: "In your eyes, he’s just a child?"

A child, sure, but she specifically emphasized that he was an intelligent, obedient, and diligent child.

Intelligent, obedient—these words could hardly be used to describe an immortal reincarnation.

Shi Qingjun stared at her red-robed reflection in the water below and recalled that scene under the heavenly lightning.

——

The young man stood before the purple lightning, his robes fluttering, merging with the world around him, summoning lightning, the electric light a pale purple that enveloped him.

——

"...A child." l.com

Shi Qingjun’s eyes quivered slightly as she murmured, "Whose child? Such a person... should he be called a Child of Heaven?"

The thunder tribulation that could seal her entire cultivation was perceived as obedient in Xu Chang’an’s eyes.

If he was a child, only the Heavenly Dao could be his father.

"Sect Leader?"

Time in the entire stone chamber seemed to freeze, as the Daoist nun looked at the fairy before her in shock.

The Sect Leader had iron-handedly unified the entire Qing Province, pressing down on the entire Demon Sect single-handedly; no one had ever seen the Sect Leader express any emotion other than indifference.

Was this dazed woman before her really the Sect Leader?

It was the first time she had seen the Sect Leader have such a strong reaction to something.

Shi Qingjun quickly realized her lapse, but she had never cared much for others’ opinions of her.

She walked to a nearby stool and sat down, speaking softly: "Purple Saint, Beichen Purple Palace, standing in attire, constantly favored by the heavens, living among all things within the Spirit Realm, meeting with all heavenly sages, the source of Dao ceaselessly flowing."

The Daoist nun paused slightly at her words, then followed up: "Sages always roam the world, and can manifest the heavens to sanctify."

Shi Qingjun turned her head and seriously looked at the woman in the faded Daoist robe, with plain looks.

In the entire Chaoyun Sect, perhaps even the entire Qing Province, the closest to the Qiankun Realm was this fake female crown she had once brought from a Daoist temple, so some things could only be discussed with her.

"You’ve practiced the Dao for thirty years, what do you think of the sages?" Shi Qingjun asked.

"What sages exist between heaven and earth?" the Daoist nun said.

She lightly shook her head. To her, the red-robed figure before her, who suppressed natural disasters and human upheavals to protect the stability of Qing Province, the Chaoyun Sect Leader... was the sage in her eyes.

"Indeed, there should be no sages." Shi Qingjun asked again: "A few days ago, a Heaven-Reaching Tribulation of purple-white jade descended, and today there is the Void Sun Soaring. Which, in your view... is more like the manifestation of a sage?"

"Sage... manifestation?" The Daoist nun was momentarily confused by the Sect Leader’s words, and she replied without hesitation: "It must be the Heaven-Reaching Tribulation."

"Why?" Shi Qingjun waved her hand, and the stone chamber suddenly turned transparent. The monumental great sun in the sky was impressive, and she said, "This spread of golden flames is also peculiar." free.web(n)ove(l)(.)cm

"A sage emerges, and the world is peaceful," the Daoist nun said seriously.

Although the Great Sun Soaring and abundant sunlight are top-tier phenomena, if discussing a sage, the dispersal of all beings’ cultivation, alongside a hint of eastern purple energy, precisely means—

[Throughout ages, peace reigns in the world.]

This is a sage.

"I think so too." Shi Qingjun nodded, thinking that because there were no sages in the world, a sage would manifest.

Currently, the cause of the Great Sun Soaring is unknown, but the Heaven-Reaching Tribulation was undoubtedly due to Xu Chang’an; she saw it clearly.

"..."

The Daoist nun looked into Shi Qingjun’s eyes, and a suspicion suddenly formed in her mind.

Could the celestial phenomena be unrelated to the Sect Leader...?

Reflecting on Shi Qingjun’s initial question, anyone at this point would think about Xu Chang’an, and the Daoist nun was no exception.

However, though she thought of this, she had no further thoughts or even the slightest curiosity.

"Good karma..." Shi Qingjun looked at the Daoist nun before her and then considered her evaluation of Xu Chang’an, realizing that speaking of a relationship, Xu Chang’an was likely to listen to the Daoist nun.

What is good karma?

This is good karma.

Shi Qingjun looked at the Daoist nun before her and asked, "Have you recently felt the barrier of a breakthrough?"

The Daoist nun shook her head.

She was only one step away from the Qiankun Realm, yet that step had seen no progress in years.

"There will be a chance." Shi Qingjun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn’t voice her thought.

She initially wanted to suggest that more interaction with Xu Chang’an might lead to that step.

However, considering that the Daoist nun had been Xu Chang’an’s teacher since he entered the sect and hadn’t gained any enlightenment, it seemed unlikely.

It was simply fate.

Zhu Tongjun placed the Daoist nun in the Sword Hall.

Zhu Tongjun took Xu Chang’an up the mountain.

The Daoist nun abided by the Sword Hall’s rules, teaching Xu Chang’an cultivation in an ordinary way.

Thus, fate was forged.

However, now came the main point.

"He is your student, so he listens to you?" Shi Qingjun asked.

"He is a well-behaved child." The Daoist nun nodded.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qingjun gave the Daoist nun a deep look.

Indeed.

The woman in the Daoist robe was someone who strictly followed the rules, and Xu Chang’an being her student was irrelevant to any mysterious origins he might have.

She called the Daoist nun to remind her not to over-favor Xu Chang’an because he had received the Glazed Jade, impacting his integration into the world for Refining Heart.

After all, sometimes the hardships of entering the world are also part of Refining Heart; a smooth journey could spoil things.

Now it seemed she had overthought.

Even though she had hinted at Xu Chang’an’s uniqueness, the Daoist nun still referred to him as a "child," clearly indicating her attitude towards him.

"There’s nothing more." Shi Qingjun said.

The Daoist nun nodded, bowed slightly, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment." Shi Qingjun suddenly stopped her: "By the way, since he is your student, help me ask him for some Beauty Fruits."

A fruit requested by a revered teacher would surely be prepared with care by Xu Chang’an.

The Daoist nun: "..."

——

A long time later, the Daoist nun returned alone to the Sword Hall, looking at a faint red Chaoyun on the mural in her chamber.

Ever since she entered the Chaoyun Sect, she never thought there would come a day when the Sect Leader would request some fruit to eat.

The Sect Leader truly wasn’t hiding her interest in that child at all.

People do change.

But change does not happen without reason.

The Sect Leader’s change was perhaps due to overcoming another tribulation, an elevation in cultivation, leading to a change in character?

The realm beyond Qiankun is obscure; she had not reached the Sect Leader’s realm, so she wouldn’t criticize her transformation.

But Xu Chang’an...

The Daoist nun looked at her clean courtyard, reminiscing about the young, innocent boy from over a year ago when he first came up the mountain...

A slight smile curled on her lips.

Xu Chang’an indeed had many peculiarities.

But she didn’t mind.

Just as she thought of this, she lifted her head to gaze out the window.

Under the sunlight, outside the Sword Hall, the young man in a light-colored Daoist robe strode confidently over the threshold.
