Looking at Li Zhibai like this, Zhu Pingniang actually hesitated for a mont to recognize her.
What has happened to her?
Zhu Pingniang was stunned for quite a while.
If there was a word to describe Li Zhibai at this mont, Zhu Pingniang thought that nothing would be more fitting than ’lost and disoriented’.
Li Zhibai at this mont seed like so won Zhu Pingniang had seen before, who were caught in a hysteria.
Her dark eyes trembled slightly in their sockets, making it hard to discern what she was thinking, yet it was clear she had encountered sothing extrely shocking.
But Zhu Pingniang couldn’t understand.
Since getting to know Li Zhibai, she had never seen her lose her composure like this.
So, even though her aura was unmistakable, Zhu Pingniang imdiately doubted... whether the Li Zhibai before her had been swapped.
"Ah Bai, are you okay?" Zhu Pingniang asked, though there wasn’t much concern in her tone.
Li Zhibai snapped back to reality, was silent for a mont, then said, "...I’m fine."
What was she to say?
Should she say she saw the Sect Leader betting on cards in the banquet hall with Tong Jun’s daughter, even sticking labels on the girl’s face?
She couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Dazed.
Who is the Sect Leader?
So people rely only on themselves throughout their lives, and when they can’t, they turn to the mountains and waters, while so beco the pillar for others when they can’t rely on themselves.
Li Zhibai was just like this; once she had her eyes only on herself, later she lived secluded in the mountains, and then... she beca reliant on Tong Jun.
But even for her, there is soone who, just by thinking of, brings warmth and comfort like a warm spring, giving her peace of mind.
The Sect Leader, from a life level perspective, has reached a realm even Li Zhibai cannot comprehend, even those Peak Masters of Chaoyun Sect... have fought fiercely over the Sect Leader’s hairband.
This is not an exaggeration at all.
Looking over these years of the Sect Leader’s life, it’s clear how she resides above the Frosty Heaven, and even such a giant as Chaoyun Sect is but dust in her eyes.
In terms of strength or personal charm, Shi Qingjun has reached the peak; otherwise, the Cultivation Realm wouldn’t have been able to seal everyone’s cultivation with the Heaven-Reaching Thunder Tribulation, wouldn’t have encountered the unstoppable Lingyu rainfall, and witnessed the phenonon of Great Sun Soaring... yet continued to function normally.
For in everyone’s mind, the Sect Leader is the one capable of achieving such feats.
She is undeniably the divinity over the entire Qing Province.
But for such an existence who whole-heartedly pursued the Heavenly Dao...
And yet just now.
Cold raindrops fell on Li Zhibai’s face, slowly dissipating with her emotional turmoil in her pupils.
In Li Zhibai’s mind, the golden gleaming scene of a woman looking down from above gradually rged with the woman she just saw... yet no matter how, they could not completely rge.
The vast ocean once held by the woman turned into ordinary card gas, and her posture that had once resembled overseeing Qing Province transford into the sugar frosting at the corner of her lips.
Li Zhibai: "..."
Rationally, she should understand, after all, no matter what choices are made by the Sect Leader, they are the most correct— even if, even if she is currently exploring the brothel.
But she is inherently not a rational person.
Moreover... Shi Qingjun’s appearance brings Li Zhibai the greatest impact, not just the discrepancy from Frosty Heaven to the brothel, but it is a test of her faith.
If the Sect Leader has co, then it ans there is truly sothing worthy of her attention in the Flower Moon Building.
Then what about herself...
But why.
Is it entering the mortal world?
As Li Zhibai gradually cald down, Liu i furrowed together.
Despite her complex feelings, the fact that the Sect Leader is in the Flower Moon Building at this mont... she absolutely cannot let a third person know, not even Tong Jun.
"?"
Zhu Pingniang’s eyes were full of suspicion: "You don’t seem fine at all right now."
As Li Zhibai gradually regained her composure and frowned, Zhu Pingniang also frowned, putting her initial thought of changing clothes to seduce Li Zhibai behind her.
Despite Li Zhibai’s abnormal behavior, Zhu Pingniang was still not worried.
There’s no helping it, given her understanding of Li Zhibai; no one in the world would cause her to react this way...
Hence Zhu Pingniang even has reason to suspect whether Li Zhibai deliberately put on this expression for her to see... wanting her to behave, not to plot against her?
After all, Ah Bai specifically dressed up, putting on such a lost and disoriented look...
For whatever the reason might be.
How could her Ah Bai pretend over such trivial matters!
Zhu Pingniang’s eyes widened.
Yet, unable to find a reason why Li Zhibai would be so shocked, thus... the impossible act of feigning beca the only option.
There’s no choice, even as absurd as she is, knowing that only Shi Qingjun could deliver such a shock to Li Zhibai... she would not link it to the Sect Leader.
eting Shi Qingjun in the Flower Moon Building?
Years of fixed thinking and admiration for the Sect Leader, whether possible or not, it matters not, Zhu Pingniang, one who doesn’t care for rules, wouldn’t even think to think about it.
She is such, while the rule-abiding Li Zhibai isn’t imagining things but seeing for herself.
That she would be so lost is understandable.
"Wait..." Zhu Pingniang suddenly thought of a possibility.
If her idea were true, it indeed would make Li Zhibai show such a questioning life’s purpose expression, making her wonder whether she has been teaching her students wrongly all these years.
