To Li Zhibai, these things are far more convincing than any words.
Is it salvation or reliance?
She’s not sure.
Tong Jun... is much more impressive than a woman like her who is only about cultivation and staying at ho refining pills.
Li Zhibai laughed softly.
She’s sowhat looking forward to seeing her, wondering how this trip into the worldly realm has polished her Tong Jun.
The girl who was once as radiant as a gemstone, now even with allure as a disguise, must have beco even more dazzling, right?
That’s what she thought.
——
Hmm.
Li Zhibai would never have thought that her treasured Tong Jun, is now curled up like a salted fish on a chair, hugging her knees and glaring jealously at Wen Li.
"Dressing up so nicely, who are you trying to entice?"
Wen Li turned her head to look at Zhu Pingniang upon hearing this.
Her gaze was very calm, as if Zhu Pingniang’s words couldn’t stir any waves in her eyes, but Zhu Pingniang could sense Wen Li’s confusion.
"Tch." Zhu Pingniang pouted.
She was jealous.
This is the ugliest jealousy that cos from a woman.
Ever since she found out about Li Zhibai ’wearing a dress for Yun Qian’, Zhu Pingniang’s sense of crisis reached an unprecedented level, not to ntion that even the Sect Leader seed to have regained emotions and started caring about people.
Considering Li Zhibai’s admiration for the Sect Leader, it’s hard for Zhu Pingniang not to feel threatened.
And now, even Wen Li, who used to be such a tomboy, looks better than her, how can she not be jealous...?
"I was trying to persuade you... and now who will persuade ." Zhu Pingniang gently rubbed her temples.
"... " Wen Li said nothing.
She was just delivering a ssage per her master’s request, not caring at all about the content of the letter, and Zhu Pingniang asked her to stay temporarily which she did without objection, because it was a request from an elder, so she obeyed unconditionally.
That was Wen Li’s thinking.
Zhu Pingniang’s gaze lingered slightly on Wen Li’s face, and she sighed, "Wen Li, it’s really been a long ti."
"Hmm." Wen Li nodded.
"You’ve changed so much." Zhu Pingniang couldn’t help saying.
"Master, you’ve changed a lot too." Wen Li said calmly.
Just like Zhu Pingniang looking at her, Wen Li naturally noticed the drastic changes in Zhu Pingniang, only Wen Li didn’t know if Zhu Pingniang’s changes were also because she had encountered a mirror?
"Nonsense, I haven’t changed." Zhu Pingniang’s eyes flickered, then slapped the arm of her chair, "Who are you calling Master? I’m much younger than your master that old woman, call Aunt... no, call Sister."
But Wen Li didn’t speak, only looked at Zhu Pingniang with even more solid eyes.
Here it was.
A junior who wasn’t buying into Zhu Pingniang’s act at all.
"Tsk, still as uninteresting as ever." Zhu Pingniang snorted, "Did Sister bring you to Chaoyun Sect just to show your Senior Sister’s posture in front of ?"
Hearing this, Wen Li looked at Zhu Pingniang, "Master, is there anything else you want to say, if not..."
"What’s the hurry, I have plenty to talk to you about." Zhu Pingniang interrupted Wen Li, pointing at Wen Li’s clothes and hair, "First of all, how co you’ve beco so feminine? I refuse to believe it’s not because of a man, don’t fool ."
"Master." Wen Li said seriously, "I am a woman too."
Wen Li didn’t understand, as a woman, she wore a dress and grew her hair...
Is that sothing strange?
"But before..." Zhu Pingniang subconsciously wanted to say sothing but couldn’t get it out when the words reached her lips.
Before what?
Was she really like a man before?
Compared to now, it was clearly the past Wen Li that was the odd one.
"Forget it, let’s just say your external transformation is influenced by the girls at Mu Yu Peak who are always flaunting their looks... it’s overall a good thing, but..." Zhu Pingniang gave Wen Li a deep look, "Can you really dress like a woman and not have anything to do with a man?"
"A man..." Wen Li thought for a while, then asked, "Master, are you referring to Junior Brother Xu?"
"Uh."
Hearing Wen Li’s response, Zhu Pingniang froze.
She never expected Wen Li to be so straightforward, without any intent of concealnt.
Indeed... even if the appearance changed, at heart, Wen Li was still Wen Li.
Zhu Pingniang’s mouth twitched a little, "You... how am I supposed to respond to that?"
Wen Li shook her head and casually asked, "Master, aren’t you thinking that my changes are because of Junior Brother?"
"...Yes." Zhu Pingniang had no choice.
That’s not right.
I was clearly the one asking the questions, why does it feel like now I’m being questioned?
Shouldn’t it be Wen Li who’s feeling guilty?
Why am I the one feeling guilty here...
At this mont, Zhu Pingniang realized she was feeling guilty because... she was also infatuated with Xu Chang’an before.
"I don’t care, isn’t it because of Chang’an?" Zhu Pingniang pouted, "I haven’t forgotten you gave her that Source Opening Pill."
"Because of Junior Brother... is that so?"
What Zhu Pingniang didn’t expect was when Wen Li heard her words, she actually appeared contemplative.
In fact, she hadn’t seriously considered why she changed this way.
Perhaps it was related to Xu Chang’an.
Perhaps it was related to Yun Qian.
Perhaps it was because she’s been recalling her days as a Half-Demon Weapon recently...
So, naturally, she changed.
Now, Zhu Pingniang’s questioning also made Wen Li start to think about this.
Unlike Wen Li’s contemplation, Zhu Pingniang was a little confused.
Wen Li... really is a strange person, at least at this mont, she felt Wen Li was stranger than Yun Qian.
Zhu Pingniang really wanted to ask Wen Li why she abandoned the Sword Dao, but at this mont, she vaguely sensed that Wen Li’s abandonnt of the Sword Dao was inseparable from her recent changes.
Also, she confird once again that Wen Li... had special feelings for Xu Chang’an, but these feelings were clearly blurry, so unclear that even Wen Li hadn’t realized it.
She didn’t hesitate a bit, suddenly saying, "Wen Li, you like Chang’an, right?"
Zhu Pingniang mused that she was specializing in surprise attacks.
"Yes, I like him." Wen Li nodded, as if saying the most natural thing.
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
Her eye twitched twice.
This girl... not playing by the rules.
Admitted it?
"Admitting it, how could you admit it!" Zhu Pingniang jumped off the chair, looking incredulous.
"Should I not admit it?" Wen Li looked at Zhu Pingniang perplexed, "Liking Junior Brother... is it sothing shaful? Even my sisters all like him a lot."
"Fine, you’re open, I’m petty." Zhu Pingniang conceded, but she was smart, so she cald down and earnestly asked, "What kind of like is it?"
"Junior Brother is my mirror."
"Just a mirror, so I like him."
"I don’t know either."
"Aren’t you in the Mingxin Realm? Can’t even understand these feelings?"
"I can’t understand, so... I’m only in the Mingxin Realm now." Wen Li shook her head, puzzled, "Master, I like Chang’an, and I like Junior Brother, but what this liking ans... I don’t understand."
"Is your liking for him the kind between a man and a woman?" Zhu Pingniang asked a very crucial question.
"The liking between a man and a woman..." Wen Li listened to Zhu Pingniang’s words, shook her head, "I don’t know."
"Alright, it’s only been a few days since you beca a woman, asking such questions... is indeed beyond your scope." Zhu Pingniang held her forehead, then took a deep breath, "Simply put, when you see Chang’an and Yun Qian together... do you feel jealous?"
"No." Wen Li shook her head.
Not only is there no jealousy, on the contrary, when she sees Xu Chang’an happy because of Yun Qian’s progress in cultivation, she also feels happy.
When Yun Qian was unable to cultivate, she was worried about Xu Chang’an’s state.
And she had a good impression of Yun Qian who would invite her to enjoy calligraphy and painting, and drink tea together.
Jealousy, there was none at all.
"No hint of sourness?" Zhu Pingniang asked.
"Hmm."
"Then it seems like it’s just the liking of Senior to Junior Brother." Zhu Pingniang said.
"Is that so?" Wen Li thought for a mont and said, "But I... when I see Junior Brother entangled with the rouge spiritual qi of my sisters, I want to cut it off with a sword."
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
For Wen Li’s open and honest nature, Zhu Pingniang felt like she was a shadow-dwelling bug about to be scorched by light.
Ah...
Then again, isn’t this just jealousy?
But no jealousy towards Yun Qian?
