But obviously, no man can accomplish this, the only man who is sowhat close to Zhu Tongjun is the Sect Leader of the Profound Sword Bureau, Sikong Lixu.
But regarding Sikong Lixu, Zhu Pingniang just feels that his brain doesn’t work right. After all, he constantly calls Li Zhibai ’great aunt’, truly making her Ah Bai seem old, and liking him would indeed be a strange thing.
And over the years, Sikong Lixu’s son... Sikong Jing’s brain isn’t quite right either.
The father and son both have their brains not working well, naturally, she can only see Li Zhibai.
Oh.
Now with a Xu Chang’an, Zhu Pingniang indeed has a fluttering heart, but when she sees Yun Qian’s eyes that never get jealous, she feels she should be buried in the dirtiest mud of the Abyss Sea, how could she have any strange thoughts.
Hmm.
Supporting Yun Qian diligently also counts as Zhu Pingniang’s compensation for her own unworthy thoughts.
As an elder, how can she develop feelings for a junior... moreover, Xu Chang’an broke her Glazed Body, and she hasn’t had ti to be angry yet.
"Focus."
Zhu Pingniang took a deep breath, swung her sleeve, and those grains of tea leaves, vivid in their green, seed to be gradually unfolding in the soak of boiling hot tea.
The originally dark tone gradually transford into a crystalline clarity.
The luscious green color made Zhu Pingniang appear montarily dazed, and for that brief instant, she felt as if she saw Ah Qing’s eyes.
Such a color close to the Heavenly Dao is indeed sothing extrely beautiful.
Carefully maneuvering the Secret Technique, Zhu Pingniang began to slowly extract the aura of Enlightennt Tea using the power of a Magical Artifact.
——
On the deck, Li Zhibai held a wine cup, sipping slowly.
She looked toward the distant spiraling wave of Spiritual Qi, thinking that Tong Jun had already made a move... but did she choose to use the copper mirror?
Thinking it would be a simpler approach? After all, Tong Jun seems not too keen on Yun Qian, but in truth, she could easily extract the aura, though it’s less pure, it’s adequate.
Yet Zhu Pingniang still chose the most pure thod, though it consud imnsely of her energy and spirit.
Obviously, she is also quite attentive towards Yun Qian.
Li Zhibai set down the wine cup, feeling sowhat... guilty?
Not really guilty, just finding herself quite amusing.
Honestly, there was a mont when Li Zhibai truly thought Zhu Pingniang would be jealous of Yun Qian, but now it seems she overthought it, after all, she just chatted with Yun Qian, had a cup of tea, although she wore a nightgown sent by Tong Jun to et Yun Qian...
But Tong Jun is quite a big girl, it’s reasonable for her not to be jealous over such trivial matters.
Hmm.
Reasonable.
Although reasonable.
Li Zhibai bowed her head, looking at the plum blossom embroidered on her robe, at this mont, she truly felt that her Daoist Robe was wasting Tong Jun’s craftsmanship.
She hopes Zhu Pingniang and Yun Qian can get along well, not wanting any resentnt between them, so... Zhu Pingniang best not be jealous of Yun Qian, as this would impact their closeness.
Therefore, as a sister, treating them equally and not favoring one over the other is the best way to maintain a relationship.
Li Zhibai swirled the wine cup in her hand.
While thinking... maybe she should, like when she’s with Yun Qian, change into a nightgown to host a tea gathering with Tong Jun?
This way, everything would be even.
——
Processing the aura of Enlightennt Tea doesn’t require much ti, as it’s a lifeless object.
Before long, after completing everything, Zhu Pingniang withdrew the aura of the Enlightennt Tea symbol, she left the Mirror World and supported herself on the table, breathing gently.
The ti was short, yet the energy expended was enormous.
Unlike Li Zhibai, she doesn’t have Pill Heart Fire to utilize, so the consumption is terrifying.
Clearly, perfectly extracting such an object infinitely close to Dao Rhy wasn’t particularly easy for Zhu Pingniang, especially after her Glazed Dharma Body was broken, she was considered in a severely injured state, appearing sowhat disheveled.
With this thought, Zhu Pingniang wiped her sweat, the fatigue unconcealed in her eyes, until she took out two Elixirs and consud them, her complexion appeared much better.
This was the reason she did not want Li Zhibai to follow her.
Not wanting Ah Bai to see her, even doing these things, struggling so much after her body was broken...
Tsk.
Could this be any worse.
Zhu Pingniang pulled up her sweat-drenched hair, thinking she really is a poor little thing, clearly wronged by Chang’an with the body-breaking technique, yet having to endure injuries to help him.
Perhaps she’s wronged many, indeed, a bad woman.
But never wronged Xu Chang’an.
In this regard, Zhu Pingniang is unburdened.
"Therefore..."
She wants Yun Qian to follow her in learning the Six Arts for Won in the future, becoming the model of the Ancient Hehuan Sect... hoping Xu Chang’an will agree?
It should be agreed, after all, she doesn’t wish Yun Qian to show herself everywhere, just wants her... as the inheritor of Ms. Gu’s skills, a girl who can bring fortune to Mu Yu Peak’s won upon arrival.
This one who can outshine everyone, Zhu Pingniang believes only Yun Qian is worthy, after all, speaking squarely... if there is any good girl left under heaven, she truly cannot recall another.
Even she and Li Zhibai have flaws, not as good as Yun Qian.
But Yun Qian isn’t perfect either, that girl’s personality seems sowhat flawed... sotis inexplicably strange.
However, it’s okay... how could there be truly perfect won in this world?
Impossible.
"..."
Zhu Pingniang suddenly recalled sothing, blinking with a strange expression.
Perfect woman...
Seems there is one?
Not her deceased Ms. Gu, but—Xu Chang’an.
Zhu Pingniang suddenly realized, indeed Xu Chang’an’s personality resembles a girl’s quite closely.
Xu Chang’an is thoughtful, preparing things from every angle, even sotis complexly layered.
Xu Chang’an is also quite adept at taking care of people, dostic chores and culinary skills all-around, his culinary skills and prowess in making preserves completely conquered Zhu Pingniang.
Comparatively, Yun Qian really seems like the served husband, a man idly indulged by his ’virtuous wife’.
And Zhu Pingniang just now replaced Xu Chang’an’s image in her mind.
Hypothetically, Xu Chang’an was not a boy, but a girl, a girl with eight-tenths Yun Qian’s beauty.
Devoted to one, focused, considering everything for you, handling everything so lucidly.
Rational, beautiful, hesitant on the surface but decisive on matters of principle...
She would be nearly the most perfect woman.
This is even more captivating than Yun Qian.
Zhu Pingniang held her face.
But pity, the pity is that he’s a man, the kind that breaks bodies.
So that’s it.
If Xu Chang’an were a girl in a past life, Zhu Pingniang believes she might have believed...
Thus, she can’t be blad for feeling moved, who told Xu Chang’an sotis indeed resembles a girl.
Sotis Zhu Pingniang found it odd, clearly she should like won, but facing excessively attractive Yun Qian, she remained unmoved.
Indeed, she doesn’t actually like girls, but rather her beloved Ah Bai happens to be a girl.
...?
"..." Zhu Pingniang, with a strange look, cast the chaotic thoughts out of her mind.
She was overthinking.
Looking at the copper mirror in hand.
"It’s all my fault."
She murmured to herself.
If it were not for her always casting glances at pretty girls back then, Qinling wouldn’t have grown to be crooked.
With the elder daughter as a precedent, coupled with her great satisfaction with Miss Lu, she thus resists letting these two girls et.
Thus she resists telling Miss Lu about Qinling’s matters.
She truly dared not think, if both daughters beca crooked... how would she live her days?
One Qinling already left her exasperated.
If even Miss Lu took a fancy...
Then Zhu Pingniang felt, most likely she could only... compromise just like those two gals.
Back then, did Sikong Lixu like Tongjun?
Probably.
Mirror.
Sikong Jing.
Sikong Lixu wanting to ally with Mu Yu Peak, was it because of Zhu Tongjun?
Who knows.
