Chapter 221: 0153 Yun Qian’s Strategy for Li Zhibai (Two-in-One)_2
The rouge was eaten by this gluttonous girl; if not breathtakingly beautiful, what else could it be?
"Are you saying I’m good-looking?" Yun Qian realized something and said, "Sister is also good-looking."
Good-looking?
Who?
Me?
"So, my younger sister can also say compliments?"
Li Zhibai was taken aback; her impression of Yun Qian was of "naturalness." The deliberate praise... made Yun Qian’s image suddenly falter a bit.
The appearance of the Daoist nun in the worldly realm, in her youth, could only be considered delicate. Nowadays, at Muyu Peak, without makeup, she could be said to not be good-looking at all.
"Good-looking people can’t wear clothes like these." Li Zhibai pointed at her own slightly faded, somewhat worn Daoist robe.
"Sister is good-looking, regardless of what clothes she’s wearing." Yun Qian was very serious, thinking that while she might not necessarily like someone Xu Chang’an liked, anyone Xu Chang’an liked must be good-looking.
"..." Li Zhibai met Yun Qian’s gaze and suddenly realized Yun Qian was very serious; she really believed she was a good-looking person.
"It’s my fault." Li Zhibai shook her head and said, "Why would my younger sister think I’m good-looking?"
"Because he likes you?" Yun Qian said.
"...I’m Chang’an’s teacher." Li Zhibai sighed, "It seems you really like him."
"I’m his wife." Yun Qian said matter-of-factly, and then continued, "Besides, whether Sister is good-looking or not has nothing to do with clothes. Even if she doesn’t wear clothes..."
"Stop." Li Zhibai’s eyes twitched as she promptly stopped Yun Qian from saying more, looking at Yun Qian’s slightly puzzled expression, she sighed lightly.
Is this... the difference between married and unmarried?
In Li Zhibai’s memory, the tea parties she attended in her youth, the girls didn’t talk so freely; the younger sister now really couldn’t be considered a maiden anymore.
Even so, she still felt very comfortable talking with Yun Qian, aimlessly, but this kind of inner comfort made Li Zhibai have a doubt.
Could chatting about girly things make her body and mind comfortable enough that she couldn’t break through her cultivation because of a mental realm issue?
Could it be... she also needs to refine her heart?
Perhaps.
She, having given the best years of her youth to the Daoist Temple, feeling regret seems normal.
Hmm, still uncertain.
"Did my younger sister find Chang’an back in the day?" Li Zhibai asked.
"Yes, he was just a child then..."
"He’s still a child now."
Yun Qian: "..."
Li Zhibai was right; even though Yun Qian looked no older than twenty-five, Xu Chang’an was still a young fellow.
"I’m curious about one thing." Li Zhibai looked at Yun Qian and said, "My younger sister raised Chang’an... how did she become his wife now..."
How did she become his wife?
Li Zhibai valued rules highly, and Xu Chang’an also valued rules.
"He is the one who raised me." Yun Qian said a few simple words.
...
"A housekeeper... no wonder the stewardship is done so well." Li Zhibai responded, thinking it’s no wonder Xu Chang’an habitually calls her ’Miss’.
"As for why we’re together." Yun Qian’s tone paused, glancing at Li Zhibai.
Before she came to Muyu Peak, she had thought of considering Li Zhibai as Xu Chang’an’s ’elder’, so it’s normal for her husband’s elder to ask about their acquaintance process when seeing her for the first time.
After all, it’s someone Xu Chang’an respects, Li Zhibai.
If it were someone else, Yun Qian wouldn’t care to talk.
"So, why?" Li Zhibai pursued, her eyes flashing lightly, which didn’t have the calm, steady, serious look she usually showed in front of Xu Chang’an.
How this young couple got to know each other, she was really curious.
"I like him."
"..." Li Zhibai was stunned: "Just like that?"
Yun Qian responded, recalling the time Xu Chang’an confessed to her, but such things she wouldn’t tell others.
"Surely you like him too, don’t you?" Yun Qian asked.
"I do like him, but the way I like him is different from what my younger sister says."
Yun Qian said, "As long as it’s liking, it’s fine."
Li Zhibai glanced at Yun Qian, finally realizing how inappropriate the words she said, mostly around talking topics, were considering her position as the teacher for the husband of Yun Qian.
She’s not her younger sister, but her student’s wife.
If Xu Chang’an knew what she and Yun Qian talked about... her image as a teacher would probably truly collapse.
But the face she shows in her daily interactions with Xu Chang’an has no trace of disguise, that’s her real image, it could only be said that Yun Qian was too peculiar, triggering a softer side in her as a woman.
——
The scent of plum blossoms mixed with the faint herbal aroma from Li Zhibai’s body slowly dispersed in the courtyard.
"It’s time to discuss serious matters." Li Zhibai became more serious, she said, "Is my younger sister unable to cultivate using the lower elixir field?"
"I can’t cultivate." Yun Qian nodded, thinking that’s the place for their future child.
"Shall I take a look for you?" Li Zhibai looked at Yun Qian’s fair wrist and coughed.
It’s her fault; Yun Qian came looking for her to solve the problem, but instead, she dragged her into unrelated chatter.
But what surprised Li Zhibai was that Yun Qian shook her head, looking toward the direction of the Hundred Herbs Garden: "The matter of the elixir field... no hurry, wait till he comes back."
"Wait till Chang’an comes back? Why."
"I don’t understand the matters of cultivation, you can tell him whatever you need." Yun Qian took a deep breath, just feeling that her husband’s residual scent in the courtyard makes her immensely at peace.
"Ah... fine, fine, just wait till he returns." Li Zhibai looked at Yun Qian strangely.
She isn’t worried because she knows that no matter what issue Yun Qian has, she can certainly make Yun Qian capable of cultivation.
Yet Yun Qian is unexpectedly not worried... is it because she doesn’t care about cultivation, or is her heart truly good.
"Does my younger sister not care about cultivation?" Li Zhibai asked.
"I do care." Yun Qian nodded, Xu Chang’an talks about it with her every three days, how can she not care?
"Then it’s a good heart." Li Zhibai never doubted what Yun Qian said, she thought for a moment and said, "From the start... I noticed my younger sister keeps looking at the logs, what’s so fascinating?"
"Logs... I was looking at the sword marks on them." Yun Qian said, walking to one of the logs in the corner, her fingers like green onions brushed through the shallow sword marks on the logs, eyes flashed with a trace of passion: "Did he practice sword here before?"
"He lived here, I taught him swordsmanship." Li Zhibai said with some nostalgia, walking up to the log, taking down from the wall the weapon Xu Chang’an used to practice, a diligent figure from the past flashed through her mind.
Xu Chang’an liked swords️, of course, Yun Qian also liked them.
"However, the sword dao inheritance is cut off, this path is hard to walk, I only taught him swordsmanship because he had no foundation, nurturing sword qi was least likely to harm the meridians, afterwards, if he has another path, there’s nothing good to learn in this sword dao." Li Zhibai waved her hand, thinking not everyone has Wen Li’s kind of talent, even she herself barely understands sword dao.
"I don’t understand these, but now looking at it... I quite like it." Yun Qian thought that sword dao let Xu Chang’an leave so many varied depth marks on the logs during practice, just this point is worthy of praise.
Li Zhibai looked at Yun Qian in astonishment.
With her eyesight, she naturally can see Yun Qian’s physical constitution being poor to such extent... she even considered if Yun Qian should learn alchemy from her, yet she is instead interested in swords.
Is it because Xu Chang’an practiced swords?
It surely isn’t.
She noticed Yun Qian looked at the sword on the wall with genuine interest.
Maybe it’s because she doesn’t usually have opportunities to be exposed to it, hence interested?
"Zheng!"
Li Zhibai’s wrist turned lightly, unsheathing the long sword Xu Chang’an practiced with.
The light from the sword was reflected in Yun Qian’s eyes.
The sword’s blade was white as frost and snow, but the surrounding edge exuded a green glow, it seemed like it wasn’t just an ordinary long sword in Li Zhibai’s hand, but actually, it was because of Li Zhibai herself, she also had a hint of sword intent... Of course, it was far less than Wen Li’s.
In reality, this was just a most ordinary fine steel long sword, a weapon.
If anything was different...
It was the sword Xu Chang’an used.
——
"Can I have a look at the sword?" Yun Qian stared at her husband’s long sword, her breathing not noticeably quickened.
"Of course." Li Zhibai handed the sword over.
This action was strange because a weapon is meant for confronting an enemy.
Yun Qian didn’t need a weapon; who knows what would happen if she held one...
