My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 1033: Chapter 567: Careful Scheming Falls Short of Following the Heart (Double-Length)

Maybe it’s an illusion, but Li Zhibai could even sense an emotion called "indulgence" from Yun Qian, because she indulged Zhu Pingniang, so she casually answered whatever she asked.

At that time, Li Zhibai almost wanted to blush.

What does it mean to be a mature, graceful and elegant lady?

In front of such a Yun Qian, Zhu Pingniang completely looked like a little girl who hasn’t grown up... so even Li Zhibai couldn’t help but feel for a moment—"Could it be that the growth after getting married and having a husband is this significant?"

From the conversation, it was impossible to tell that Zhu Pingniang was older than Yun Qian, rather Yun Qian seemed like the sister indulging a younger one. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

So when Zhu Pingniang wanted to ask some more questions, Li Zhibai stopped her.

"I’m just curious." Zhu Pingniang clicked her tongue.

She already calls herself Chang’an’s sister, and plans to stand by his side no matter what happens... with such a close relationship, what’s wrong with being curious about his private matters?

Even if Chang’an knew, considering her past absurd behavior, Chang’an wouldn’t call her shameless, at most he would just smile helplessly.

That’s why there are some things others find inconvenient to ask, but she can do so without any restraint.

Who’s to say she isn’t shameless.

Probably having seen through Zhu Pingniang’s thoughts, Li Zhibai breathed steadily for a moment, then suddenly said, "Tong Jun, I plan not to stay here with you anymore, after thinking carefully, I’d better return to Sword Hall."

"...?"

Zhu Pingniang was dumbfounded, and several question marks appeared above her head.

Li Zhibai’s topic change... was effective beyond measure.

Zhu Pingniang suddenly stood up, staring at Li Zhibai fiercely: "Ah Bai, what did you say? You still want to return to the mountain?"

"Yes." Li Zhibai nodded, it was after earlier discussions with Xu Chang’an that she decided, compared to some mysteries she couldn’t understand now, it was more important to have Chang’an’s thoughts clear and unobstructed.

Since Xu Chang’an doesn’t want her to stay at the brothel, since Chang’an wants to protect her reputation, Li Zhibai would listen to him.

"...You!"

Looking at Li Zhibai’s calm attitude, Zhu Pingniang was stuck.

Is she kidding?

Earlier, she blocked Li Zhibai like that, it was Li Zhibai who repeatedly convinced her to let her stay... then she finally agreed after much persuasion, even planned places to visit later... now Li Zhibai says she wants to leave?

Beside, Miss Lu was also dumbfounded.

"...?"

This Miss Li from the Immortal Sect actually considered staying here?

She gazed at Li Zhibai blankly, and then exhaled a breath that she hadn’t realized she was holding.

Thankfully... thankfully Miss Li gave up staying.

Otherwise, Miss Lu could roughly imagine the situation after. Surely, if Miss Zhu hung onto Zhu Pingniang twelve hours a day... it wouldn’t be dignified.

Besides, if Li Zhibai stayed, then... the time Miss Zhu would look at herself would visibly decrease, wouldn’t it?

So, at that moment, Miss Lu admitted, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, she felt ashamed of her thought of not blessing Miss Zhu’s ’relationship’, thus she lowered her head, saying nothing.

"Ah Bai, you’re teasing me." Zhu Pingniang’s eye twitched, did Li Zhibai even know the pressure she faced in deciding to keep the Pill Master with her?

Li Zhibai didn’t speak, but Zhu Pingniang understood her intent.

Ah Bai would never tease her, let alone in such a manner.

"The reason, I want to hear the reason." Zhu Pingniang took a deep breath, she didn’t care, she clearly said before, how could she go back on her word?

"Chang’an thinks it’s inappropriate." Li Zhibai replied.

"...Ah?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Pingniang was stunned.

She stared blankly at Li Zhibai for a moment, her jet-black eyes trembling in their sockets.

After a good while, Zhu Pingniang asked in disbelief: "Ah Bai, what did you say... I didn’t hear clearly just now."

Li Zhibai sighed helplessly, yet still said, "I discussed this with him, Chang’an felt it was inappropriate, so let this matter pass."

"...Oh." Zhu Pingniang didn’t speak.

She looked at Li Zhibai, her gaze growing increasingly strange, even the anger from being stood up by Li Zhibai dissipated entirely.

Ah Bai changed.

At this moment, this thought filled Zhu Pingniang’s mind.

She never imagined... Li Zhibai would actually abandon her original decision because of someone else’s words.

This, in the past, was absolutely impossible.

But now... thinking of what Li Zhibai had said earlier, "Chang’an thinks it’s inappropriate," as calm as it was, made Zhu Pingniang momentarily speechless.

Can a student, or rather a disciple, really cause such a big change in her Ah Bai?

At this moment, Li Zhibai’s calm words felt unfamiliar to Zhu Pingniang.

Zhu Pingniang’s mind was chaotic, her heart a complex mix of emotions.

Yet... maybe it’s a good thing.

So she thought.

Zhu Pingniang lowered her head, the frivolous, absurdity, and flirtatiousness in her eyes faded away, and in her snow-like clear eyes shone unknown ripples.

What was the former Li Zhibai like?

Daoist Temple, bamboo forest, watching rain, listening to the wind.

She had experienced years that were second only to Shi Qingjun, yet compared to the Sect Leader who wholeheartedly pursued the Heavenly Dao, Li Zhibai was actually more... leisurely, or rather closer to nature.

Knowing White and Guarding Black is the way of the Heavenly Dao.

Zhu Tongjun was worried.

Because such a person void of desires and demands, even if one day she really vanishes on the pursuit of Heavenly Dao, she wouldn’t be surprised, so she would seize an opportunity when she still held a bit of position in Li Zhibai’s heart, stubbornly dragging her to Muyu Peak, the place most abundant in desires, attempting to use the ladies of Muyu Peak to distract Li Zhibai’s thoughts.

But facts prove, it actually didn’t have much effect.

Thus, Zhu Tongjun’s worries never subsided, because in her perspective, Li Zhibai’s attachment had always been only to her, what would happen if one day, Li Zhibai grew tired of her...?

She didn’t know.

But Zhu Tongjun worried for that day’s arrival, so she would come to the brothel, trying to understand the simplest and most straightforward human desires, so she would care about the Beauty Fruit, all of which was to understand the importance of desire.

But now.

Perhaps she could be at ease.

Because even if Ah Bai grows tired of her existence, there’s still Chang’an, who could be her new attachment.

Isn’t this a good thing?

Just didn’t expect that apart from herself... the second person to walk into Ah Bai’s heart would actually be a man.

Zhu Pingniang lifted her head, a helpless smile on her face: "Since it’s following Chang’an’s words, then as an elder sister, I have no reason to be angry... but Ah Bai, I originally thought if there was ever a man who could make you listen, he must be your Dao partner, yet surprisingly... a student conquered you."

"You flatter." Li Zhibai shot her a glance, then said: "As a teacher, it’s indeed necessary to consider his thoughts."

"Yes, yes, whatever you say is right." Zhu Pingniang pouted, and can only say if Xu Chang’an was the one taking Li Zhibai away from her side, then she has no way to be angry, wouldn’t even feel regret, just find it naturally reasonable.

"Don’t know if your mindset is of a teacher... or like a mother." Zhu Pingniang hit the nail on the head.

Li Zhibai paused, then glanced at Yun Qian, saying nothing.

"Alright alright, all my fault." Being ’taken’ by Xu Chang’an, Zhu Pingniang had no choice but to accept the silent loss.

Yun Qian: "..."

Miss Yun exchanged a look with Li Zhibai, then glanced at Zhu Pingniang’s expression that seemed like she was jealous, blinking an eye.

That’s why she thought of Li Zhibai as an impressive person, would be a main wife.

Originally — girls like them should listen to him.

But mother...

Yun Qian wasn’t eager to be a husband’s mother.

Since Li Zhibai was willing... then she’d let her handle it.
