"...I heard nothing."
"The matter with your mother, you said you didn’t hear it either."
"..." Xu Chang’an looked up, suddenly feeling that today’s sun was quite scorching, hadn’t it just rained?
He lowered his head, sighed, "Miss, are you doing this on purpose?"
"Purposefully what?" Yun Qian said, "The Gui Water matter?"
Xu Chang’an had once asked her so things about Gui Water, and she in turn asked Wen Li.
Though Wen Li felt a bit awkward at the ti, such topics between won are nothing to shy away from, so she divulged everything to Yun Qian.
Usually, these private topics are just discussed among close friends, not shared with partners.
But Wen Li did not account for Yun Qian’s personality; Miss Yun usually has few confidants. Regarding monthly details, besides her master, Wen Li had only discussed it with Yun Qian.
Perhaps Wen Li did consider Yun Qian’s nature, but she just didn’t mind if the junior brother knew these things.
Xu Chang’an suddenly felt sympathetic for Senior Wen, whose secrets were misdirected, and he helplessly said, "Senior told you these things not for you to tell others."
"Others?" Yun Qian didn’t quite understand... her husband wasn’t an outsider.
"I an ." Xu Chang’an shook his head, "It’s private matters."
It’s only him stopping Yun Qian from saying it out loud.
If it were anyone else with Senior Wen’s popularity, gossip might have spread.
"Private..." Yun Qian thought for a mont and realized not everyone is like her, wanting to know everything. She nodded, "Mhm."
"Also, this is Chaoyun Sect." Xu Chang’an looked at the colorful Spiritual Charm above the Celestial Bright Peak’s main building and whispered in Yun Qian’s ear, "In the Immortal Sect, whatever we say... if they want to hear it, they can."
Wen Li is sowhat legendary in Chaoyun Sect, and if her matters were spread through Yun Qian’s words, causing negative fallout or loss of face for Wen Li, Yun Qian might find it hard to move forward in Chaoyun Sect.
Hence, it’s necessary to explain the gravity of the situation to Miss Yun.
He whispered close to Yun Qian, voice lowered to the minimum, telling her to keep Senior’s secrets deep in her heart and not to tell anyone, including him.
His breath tickled her ear, Yun Qian lightly patted him, and her pale face softened considerably.
"It tickles... stay away a bit."
Yun Qian pushed her husband away slightly, then said, "Them? No one can hear us, except the one you fancy."
"What does it have to do with the one I fancy?" Xu Chang’an rubbed Yun Qian’s ear, "Just rember my words, that’s all."
"Mhm." Yun Qian didn’t explain much, going along with his intention.
"By the way." Xu Chang’an decisively ended the sensational topic about Wen Li and said, "I wanted to say earlier, not just the mister, you are also of the Muyu Peak."
"So?" Yun Qian shifted her seating posture.
"Therefore, it’s ti you think from the perspective of Muyu Peak." Xu Chang’an said.
"Muyu Peak’s perspective..." Yun Qian started tapping her embroidered shoe, asking, "According to the rules, once I’m on Muyu Peak, do I have to like girls as well?"
Xu Chang’an: "...?"
What was she saying?
"..."
Seeing her husband falling silent once again, Yun Qian glanced in the direction of Muyu Peak.
Actually, Yun Qian’s thoughts were not entirely random, at least... many people on Muyu Peak do like her, plus Xu Chang’an indeed had the intention for her to go to Muyu Peak early, so Yun Qian asked such a question.
After a mont of silence, Xu Chang’an sighed lightly, "Suddenly, miss, bringing up this topic seems quite aningful."
Indeed.
Quite a number of girls on Muyu Peak are unconventional and like girls, so once Yun Qian goes up the mountain... it’s inevitable that soone would fancy her.
In this case, it’s necessary to prepare ntally and bring so matters to the table for discussion.
"But." Xu Chang’an beca much more serious, "Even though it might need clarification, I still want to ask first... Matters of affection between won, why are you interested in such things, miss?"
This is the bigger mystery, the issue he’s concerned about since earlier.
Who is Miss Yun?
To know, based on Xu Chang’an’s understanding of Yun Qian, even if she knows soone likes her, even if Muyu Peak is full of people harboring intentions towards her, she wouldn’t give a second thought, it’s completely not in Miss Yun’s nature to care.
Even if the sky collapsed, it has nothing to do with her, how would she care about such trivial matters?
Therefore, compared to the unconventional girls of Muyu Peak, Xu Chang’an cares more about Yun Qian’s change.
"Between won?" Yun Qian put her hands on her legs and asked, "What?"
"Twin Lotus... why the interest?" Xu Chang’an pursued.
"Because of your writings." Yun Qian answered honestly.
"Hmm?" Xu Chang’an heard this, and his eyes widened.
"Don’t you rember?" Yun Qian yawned, her pace quickened, "What I’ve been reading these days, just coincidentally ca across the story."
Because it’s Xu Chang’an’s writings about affection between won, Yun Qian thinks he might be interested, which led her to ponder. Otherwise... she really wouldn’t spend even a mont thinking about it.
Yet Xu Chang’an was left dumbfounded.
Did he write such... forbidden things?
"But no, miss... weren’t you recently reading Strange Tales?" Xu Chang’an recalled soon enough the novels placed by Miss Yun’s bedside. He was quite impressed, having asked her if she was afraid of ghost stories.
After discovering she wasn’t afraid, he was quite delighted for a while.
Because, if interested in ghost stories, she might also not resist Cultivation as much.
Haven’t you seen Miss Yun, after reading Strange Tales, imdiately beca willing to go down the mountain to find Senior Zhu regarding Cultivation matters, no rest even when tired?
But what’s the connection to Twin Lotus?
Beside him, Yun Qian noticed Xu Chang’an’s confusion, stretched out a finger, and said, "Third Madam Feng... doesn’t it ntion relationships between won?"
"Third..." Xu Chang’an, hearing this, paused, then covered his forehead with a hand.
Ah.
Rembered.
In Strange Tales, a rare story, telling Fan Shiyiniang and Third Madam Feng’s tale, its core... indeed revolves around relationships between won.
He hadn’t thought much at the ti.
Turns out, it’s his fault.
Now it makes sense, the works he wrote, Yun Qian paying attention to them, too normal.
In the end, couldn’t bla the loose conduct on Muyu Peak, couldn’t bla Li Zhibai’s sudden closeness, couldn’t bla Senior Wen.
Still bla what he transcribed.
Indeed, all changes in Yun Qian are tied to him.
"I understand." Xu Chang’an sighed, continuing the previous topic, "If my guess is correct, miss, after you visit Muyu Peak, you should already be famous."
Many seniors will surely favor her.
Just like... they did towards him in the past?
Listening to Xu Chang’an’s words, Yun Qian shook her head, "But I don’t want others to like ."
After saying this, she looked at Xu Chang’an.
She only wanted her husband, not others’ affections; if he liked her being liked by others, it wouldn’t matter.
