She is Miss Yun’s ’sister’.
As for the current situation, you could say that Li Zhibai was recklessly ’peering’ into the will of heaven, and ended up confusing herself.
"Strange..." Li Zhibai gently shook her head, casting the distracting thoughts from her mind.
She felt she might have been a bit tired lately and perhaps needed a good rest, otherwise letting such strange thoughts occupy her mind was not a good thing.
After all, the Sect Leader was right by her side, and she actually started to daydream.
Maybe there was no other way.
After all, she really couldn’t accept her student being a Saint.
Regarding Xu Chang’an’s identity, even though Shi Qingjun had implicitly defined it for him...Li Zhibai still had her own thoughts.
She was rely in awe of the woman before her, but not obedient to orders.
Yet, at this mont, neither of them spoke a word of their mutual understanding.
Who could bla the absurdity of it, but no one could say Shi Qingjun’s thinking was wrong, after all...when Li Zhibai realized that all the unusual phenona were not from the Sect Leader, but from Xu Chang’an, she knew that no reputation attached to her student would be excessive.
But...is becoming a Saint that easy?
Li Zhibai knew Xu Chang’an’s temperant too well. That young man might have kind little wishes, but in his heart, what mattered most was his wife...nothing in this world could outweigh a single thought of Yun Qian in Xu Chang’an’s heart.
Therefore, the grand wish nad ’Chang’an’... was not compatible with Xu Chang’an at all.
Just as Zhu Pingniang’s [Ping] only managed the Flower Moon Building well, Xu Chang’an’s so-called [Chang’an] was never about the Peaceful World, but the Chang’an between him and Yun Qian—or perhaps, solely Yun Qian’s Chang’an.
This was no ti to place the burden of ’Saint’ upon him.
Li Zhibai sighed lightly.
As a teacher, she still hoped her student could live a little more freely.
Just as Li Zhibai was slightly losing herself in thought, Shi Qingjun was carefully observing her.
She had never observed Li Zhibai this closely before.
Previously, she didn’t pay much attention to this girl, but now, whether it was because she changed her mind or because of Li Zhibai’s identity... she was worthy of a closer look.
Identity?
Li Zhibai was Xu Chang’an’s teacher and could even be considered his ntor.
From Shi Qingjun’s perspective, in this world, Li Zhibai was the person closest to Xu Chang’an beside Yun Qian.
Whether Xu Chang’an was a Saint, an Immortal, or a Child of Heaven, Li Zhibai’s destiny and karmic ties were enviable to others.
She observed Li Zhibai for a while and suddenly found that this woman was actually a very good person.
Although Li Zhibai appeared ordinary, neither Zhu Pingniang’s natural allure nor other girls’ delicate features, she possessed an extrely comforting aura.
She was like an ordinary blooming flower, perhaps not imdiately stunning, but just seeing her... would bring a good mood.
Shi Qingjun nodded gently.
She suddenly understood why Zhu Tongjun had such a good relationship with Li Zhibai, realizing that Li Zhibai, like the forr Hehuan Sect Leader Gu Xing, had a beauty bone.
Possessing a beauty bone, with restrained brilliance in her eyes, her temperant llow and smooth, truly a beautiful person.
At one ti, Shi Qingjun had approached Xu Chang’an under the alias ’Senior Sister Shi,’ wanting to observe this reincarnation of an Immortal up close, and also considered forming a karmic bond with him, but later abandoned the idea of deliberate closeness.
But when Xu Chang’an beca an Innate Saint in her mind from an Immortal reincarnation, the thought of forming a bond resurfaced.
After all, although not in a hurry, she still wanted to see if the Dao she sought, the opportunity she sought, truly lay with him.
Moreover, having karma is always a good thing.
Look at Wen Li—the defect in Wen Li’s Divine Soul was naturally corrected because of Xu Chang’an’s influence, even without her intervention.
"..."
While Shi Qingjun was watching Li Zhibai, her gaze remained composed. With an initially developing sense of aesthetics, Shi Qingjun looked at Li Zhibai in front of her, her eyes filled with a thoughtful expression difficult to erase.
She also noticed that Li Zhibai’s figure was tall and elegant, her long hair tied up, paired with a side profile slightly adorned with makeup, resembling the girls in the storybooks Shi Qingjun had been reading recently.
Therefore, whether it was Li Zhibai, Zhu Pingniang, or Yun Qian, as Xu Chang’an’s wife, were they all beautiful girls?
So, is the prerequisite for obtaining karma and destiny to be beautiful?
Hmm...
Am I a beautiful girl?
Shi Qingjun had never considered this question before.
What kind of girl is considered beautiful?
Shi Qingjun thought the one from the Demon Sect was an extrely beautiful person. Compared to her, there was no doubt that she was far less in feminine charm?
It wasn’t that she lacked aesthetics, just as Qing Jun, no one had ever spoken of such things to her, and as for her maiden days... it was too far in the past to be used as a reference.
Didn’t you see that even her makeup was constantly changing?
Whether she herself was beautiful was indeed hard to say.
"...?"
While Shi Qingjun was frowning in thought, Li Zhibai felt the Sect Leader’s burning gaze upon her face, her eye subtly twitching.
Sect Leader...
What are you looking at?
So close...
Was there sothing strange about her?
Li Zhibai introspected but noticed nothing wrong, which only made her more uneasy.
It wasn’t that she was useless.
If anyone else in the world knew it was Sect Leader Chaoyun in front of them, scrutinizing them so closely...they would all feel uncomfortable, right?
Wait.
Maybe not.
Li Zhibai thought Yun Qian wouldn’t, if it were one of those sisters, even if they knew the Sect Leader’s identity, they would only straightforwardly ask, "What are you looking at?"
But Li Zhibai knew she couldn’t match Yun Qian, so she couldn’t ask such a question. Moreover, the Sect Leader was clearly contemplating sothing, so she didn’t disturb her.
She just stood quietly, subtly glancing in the direction of the stairs.
If Tong Jun ca up now...that would be awkward, for she wouldn’t know how to explain the current scene to Tong Jun.
While thinking this, Li Zhibai’s eyes subtly shifted.
She...caught a whiff of a very pleasant fragrance, a scent of wine mingled with sugary sweetness. Li Zhibai’s eyes brushed over the Sect Leader’s face, saying nothing.
There was a world of difference between observing the Sect Leader from afar and up close.
From a distance, she was divine, inspiring awe, beyond reproach.
But up close, one would realize she had just snacked, drank fine wine, and even, like an ordinary young lady, would fall into a daze.
Li Zhibai was not a girl prone to lust, but at this mont she indeed felt a pang of regret.
Perhaps it was because of Zhu Pingniang, thinking once that all the girls in this world were fragrant... but the Sect Leader had no osmanthus or orchid fragrance, only a faint wine aroma and the sweet sll of pastries. If unknown, it might be difficult to understand that such a person...was the deity of Qing Province.
She subconsciously felt there was an odd sense of déjà vu from the Sect Leader.
Upon reflection, a girl extrely beautiful, always carrying a sweet sugar aroma about her...wasn’t that Ms. Yun?
From the Sect Leader, she associated to Yun Qian.
Li Zhibai thought how peculiar the world’s affairs were.
Before today, even returning to her maiden days to daydream or imagine, she would never have thought... that she would now be sniffing the Sect Leader’s presence up close.
Too strange.
Her face blushed slightly; she was no longer young, yet she remained a teacher.
Indeed, it was Tong Jun who gave her a bad habit...
Hmm.
Sotis, when the older sister passes on so thoughts to the younger sister, it is entirely natural.
However, at this mont, Li Zhibai felt that so of the things Zhu Pingniang said made sense, like when Zhu Pingniang told her, many tis appreciating beautiful people truly could lift one’s spirits.
The earlier strangeness, the restlessness, the agitation, all dissipated now within Shi Qingjun’s presence.
At this mont, Shi Qingjun’s aura changed, and Li Zhibai imdiately looked over.
She didn’t ask the Sect Leader what she was looking at, rely understanding that she likely had sothing to say.
Sure enough, Li Zhibai’s intuition was correct, as Shi Qingjun slowly spoke.
"Zhibai, in your view, is my appearance pleasing?"
She asked this way.
"...?"
