It was completely different from the usual feelings of cultivation and enlightennt.
It was as if...
It was as if...
Sothing was about to erge.
"?"
Yun Qian picked up a candied fruit and put it in her mouth, then looked up to see Li Zhibai staring blankly at her face.
Her husband’s esteed teacher was staring at her with wide eyes, and upon closer inspection, it seed there were silver streaks moving in Li Zhibai’s distinctly black and white eyes, tracing the path her sword had just taken.
She shook her head.
Yun Qian looked at this silly girl, pondering whether she should put her veil back on.
She glanced at the last candied fruit she brought out on the plate and asked Li Zhibai, "Do you still want so candied fruit?"
Yun Qian’s voice was as gentle as a breeze, but to Li Zhibai’s ears, it sounded like a booming bell, shattering the sword traces in her eyes.
"What?" Li Zhibai was taken aback.
"Do you still want so candied fruit?" Yun Qian patiently repeated.
"Ah... I don’t want any more." Li Zhibai replied.
"Okay." Yun Qian ate the last candied fruit, completely consuming the last bit of lip rouge she had put on in the morning along with the candied sugar.
Li Zhibai: "..."
Had she just been srized by her little sister?
Was she too beautiful?
No.
Li Zhibai shook her head, thinking she had recalled tis from long, long ago when Miss Li was still a young girl... that’s why she was lost in thought.
"My sister always has a peculiar charm that makes reminisce about the past," Li Zhibai said with so emotion.
eting Yun Qian made her realize that she often thought of her youthful days, which she thought she had entirely forgotten, and perhaps this seemingly forgotten period was the weak point in her ntal realm... could overcoming it an smoothly entering the Qiankun Realm?
Yun Qian did not respond. She had finished eating the candied fruit, and the sword... was her husband’s possession, she would just ask him for it when he returned.
The key thing was, the candied fruit was gone.
Yun Qian believed that Xu Chang’an, like her, would always have sothing sweet on him.
"Why hasn’t he returned?" Yun Qian looked towards the direction of the Hundred Herbs Garden.
"He should be back soon; Chang’an hasn’t been to the Hundred Herbs Garden in a while, so he might need to wander around a bit," Li Zhibai said, realizing only then that Xu Chang’an was about to return and she hadn’t done anything yet.
She almost forgot.
"Ahem." Li Zhibai cleared her throat, and when Yun Qian looked over, she said, "I’ve called out ’little sister’ so many tis, yet I haven’t given you a eting gift."
"A eting gift?" Yun Qian thought for a mont and nodded.
It seems, when an elder ets the daughter-in-law of the family, they should give a eting gift.
"I’m not familiar with these customs, nor do I know what my sister likes," Li Zhibai said. "If there’s anything you like, want, or want to do, feel free to tell . Oh... helping you with cultivation is not included."
After talking with Yun Qian, she found Yun Qian to be straightforward and not shy, which is why she directly asked what Yun Qian wanted.
Otherwise, if soone else had t this Daoist nun, they probably wouldn’t even be able to speak clearly, let alone dare express their wishes.
It’s evident that Li Zhibai really liked Yun Qian, this "little sister," so she would try her best to fulfill Yun Qian’s wishes.
Li Zhibai believed that since Yun Qian was with Xu Chang’an, she should know a bit about the abilities of her teacher.
So she truly gave Yun Qian a grand gift.
"?"
Yun Qian looked at the earnest Li Zhibai and blinked.
She said... she was going to fulfill her wish?
Any wish at all.
This felt very novel.
