As for Xu Chang’an’s matters, Li Zhibai wouldn’t hide anything from Zhu Pingniang, after all, Zhu Pingniang was Xu Chang’an’s true ntor from the start.
——
Zhu Pingniang thought about what Li Zhibai had said in the Jade Scroll, about Xu Chang’an wanting a handy sword. Liu i furrowed her brow and stared at Xu Chang’an.
"I’m not happy."
Zhu Pingniang said, writing the words of displeasure all over her face.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chang’an sighed.
What have I done wrong this ti...
There was no way around it, so Xu Chang’an explained, "After the Opening Source at Muyu Peak, my old sword is no longer able to withstand Spiritual Power, and it’s very clunky during operation."
So, having a handy sword is essential.
"Nonsense." Zhu Pingniang rolled her eyes, chided, "I wouldn’t know this? You need to remind ?"
Xu Chang’an: "??"
"Then you..."
Xu Chang’an was about to say sothing when he saw Zhu Pingniang lightly tapping her finger on the table, interrupting him.
"Why." Zhu Pingniang pointed at herself, "You need a sword, why not ask but go ask her?"
Xu Chang’an: "???"
——
Of course, Zhu Pingniang was not happy.
All along, it was mostly her solving Xu Chang’an’s troubles, and now Xu Chang’an needs a weapon but doesn’t ask her for help, instead goes to Li Zhibai, a recluse who never leaves ho?
Does he feel distant from her, or does he think she can’t provide a suitable weapon like Li Zhibai?
Xu Chang’an asked Li Zhibai for help, but when he saw her, he didn’t even ntion it.
Zhu Pingniang, although very fond of Li Zhibai, was a bit jealous over this trivial matter.
Clearly, she was the one Xu Chang’an should turn to; adding trouble should also be directed to her.
Clearly, it’s the child she brought up the mountain, yet how did he end up being Ah Bai’s person.
Where does she fall short compared to Li Zhibai?
Seeing Xu Chang’an dumbfounded, Zhu Pingniang frowned, raising her voice: "Speak, why not ask for a sword?"
Earlier, she was handling daggers and hamrs; didn’t Xu Chang’an realize she’s actually quite wealthy?
All kinds of magical tools are available.
At least, she’s much wealthier than Li Zhibai.
If only Xu Chang’an had asked her nicely a few tis, she would have let him choose a Spirit Sword from her collection as a eting gift approved by Li Zhibai...
Even taking the best sword wouldn’t matter, as it’s for Ah Bai’s student to use; they’re family, no heartache.
Zhu Pingniang had already thought it through, but unfortunately, Xu Chang’an is so inept.
"...Speak, why are you dazing off." Zhu Pingniang saw Xu Chang’an still in a daze, grinding her teeth audibly.
Xu Chang’an imdiately snapped back to reality.
Although he didn’t understand Zhu Pingniang’s train of thought at all, even a fool could see that this girl was very angry.
"Please calm down."
Xu Chang’an was flexible, clearing his throat he explained earnestly, "Since Chang’an has already spoken to the teacher about this matter, naturally... I wouldn’t trouble you, sister. Otherwise, wouldn’t it seem like Chang’an doesn’t trust the teacher."
"You do consider things for Ah Bai." Zhu Pingniang spat, glaring, "I’m saying, from the start, if you wanted a sword, you should have asked , not her."
"Hmm?" Xu Chang’an sensed sothing, paused, and said with a hint of probing, "Sister Zhu, it was after I Opened Source on the mountain and tested compatibility that I decided to use a sword, and at that ti, you weren’t at Muyu Peak either."
If at that ti both Zhu Pingniang and Li Zhibai had been on the mountain, it would be hard to say whom he would have sought help from.
"Is that so?" Listening to Xu Chang’an, Zhu Pingniang looked thoughtful.
That seed to make sense too.
"..." Xu Chang’an breathed a sigh of relief.
He had only heard that causing trouble could make people angry, but in his case, not causing trouble could also make soone angry enough to seem like they wanted to hit him. Truly incomprehensible.
"What do you know." Zhu Pingniang pouted, "Ah Bai isn’t exactly a Sword Cultivator, but she did learn so back in the day, that’s why she’s at the Sword Hall... As for swords, she got them from back then, if you asked her for a sword, can she even provide one?"
"Sister Zhu, do you an..." Xu Chang’an said, "It’s okay to trouble you, but not to trouble the teacher?"
He was saying that Zhu Pingniang liked Li Zhibai so much.
"No." Zhu Pingniang snorted coldly, squinting at Xu Chang’an, "Xiaochang’an, you don’t think words like that would make embarrassed, do you."
"I wouldn’t dare." Xu Chang’an tilted his head.
Indeed... his minimal cultivation effort was no match for Zhu Pingniang, and he shouldn’t play word gas.
"You act like you wouldn’t dare." Zhu Pingniang said, but her expression softened considerably.
The reason was very simple.
She was angry at Xu Chang’an for being distant, but now that he dared to embarrass her, he considered himself her little brother, not distant at all.
Of course, Zhu Pingniang’s anger subsided a lot.
Won are troubleso like that.
"You too, Ah Bai too, both make angry." Zhu Pingniang gritted her teeth, pointing towards the Chaoyun Sect, "Do you know what Ah Bai said in the Jade Scroll? She actually asked to keep an eye on whether the Profound Sword Bureau has any good swords lately, said she wanted to trade one for you..."
"What does she an, asking to check out the Profound Sword Bureau, looking down on , huh." Zhu Pingniang exclaid, "If Ah Bai needs any sword, why bother trading with those slly n? She could’ve just asked directly."
