Chapter 231 - 0158 Yun Qian learns the combination moves (two in one)

From the moment Xu Chang’an stepped into the Sword Hall, Li Zhibai knew her student had returned.

However, she didn’t rush to get up because a young lady had already gone to greet him.

Whether Li Zhibai could fulfill Yun Qian’s wish, whether there was an opportunity to teach her how to apply rouge and makeup, depended on Xu Chang’an’s reaction.

Would Xu Chang’an like it?

Li Zhibai sighed lightly at the thought of Yun Qian’s anxious demeanor.

This is more than just concern causing confusion... Anyway, she didn’t understand why Yun Qian was so uneasy.

In front of the dressing table.

Li Zhibai’s fingers brushed over the makeup box in front of her. After slightly opening it, she looked at the red paper imprinted with Yun Qian’s lip print, held it up to her lips for comparison, then folded it and discarded it.

After all, it was a used tissue, so it wasn’t necessary to keep it.

"Hmm..."

Yun Qian stirred her heart for the first time in centuries... moved her to want to dress herself up nicely.

Women dress for those who appreciate them, but she and Yun Qian are different. Women do not entirely wear makeup to please men. In fact, more than half of them do it for their own happiness, having nothing to do with men.

Looking at her ordinary appearance in the mirror, she eventually didn’t apply makeup, knowing full well she had just witnessed a perfect "dressed-up doll" and had personally transformed someone into a beauty with a completely opposite temperament.

Looking back at her own face, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Getting up, walking to the window, Li Zhibai could feel her heart still racing.

Yun Qian...

She thought that the Sect Leader might be concerned about the wrong person. Compared to her student, the student’s wife was more worthy of attention.

"Chang’an." Li Zhibai gazed clearly at the woman in the courtyard below, dressed in a black and white skirt and standing tall, muttering: "He truly is fortunate."

Despite Luanyu Peak’s many assumptions about him, as his teacher, she never claimed he had any romantic fortune.

But now the women of Luanyu Peak, standing before Yun Qian, in terms of appearance alone, were of a different league altogether.

"Cultivation..." Li Zhibai squinted her eyes.

Beauty like Yun Qian’s will undoubtedly cause a stir. At that time, Xu Chang’an would find it extremely difficult to protect Yun Qian.

That’s why he put pressure on Wen Li before the Sword Testing Spring to guide Yun Qian and hurriedly resolved Yun Qian’s cultivation issue, hoping she would possess the ability to protect herself.

She wondered if her student ever thought... his teacher might have some cultivation prowess?

Li Zhibai believed Xu Chang’an should have considered that.

Except for the fact she had refused to meet him before, refused to acknowledge him as her student, since... the child didn’t even know what to call her.

He was quite hopeless, unlike his wife, who asked for her name right away.

Li Zhibai believed she never deliberately disguised herself before Xu Chang’an. As long as he asked, she would naturally tell him.

The elixirs she occasionally gave Xu Chang’an, even if he didn’t have much knowledge, should subtly... be able to discern they were not of mortal grade.

Li Zhibai chuckled lightly, just as Xu Chang’an relied on her for Yun Qian’s matters, as a senior, she was happy to provide help to Xu Chang’an.

Help in all senses.

Li Zhibai thought that in recent days, she had first sorted out her feelings and acknowledged Xu Chang’an as her student, and then... Yun Qian reawakened her long-suppressed youthful memories. The combination of these events made her genuinely feel like the century-long haze over her heart had cleared.

So Li Zhibai was considering whether she should tell Xu Chang’an... that she could protect him and Yun Qian, letting him focus on cultivation and doing what he wanted.

It’s only natural for a teacher to protect her student.

Moreover, since she called Yun Qian a sister, as a sister, she couldn’t just watch Yun Qian get bullied.

In Chaoyun Sect and even the whole Qing Province, her power was second only to the two in the Qiankun Realm, providing her with enough confidence to protect the younger generation.

However...

The Sect Leader’s previous reminder made her temporarily dismiss this idea, as it wouldn’t be wise to openly offer Xu Chang’an too much help.

Yet she could still help discreetly.

Li Zhibai looked at the mirror, at the woman with a curling smile in the reflection.

Just like now.

Making Yun Qian even more beautiful was a small "help" she provided to Xu Chang’an.

Finding joy in the boudoir is never taboo.

The cultivation technique that combines Yin and Yang, True Yuan exchange, naturally works best when the pair are more loving and in sync... The significance being the more beautiful Yun Qian becomes, the better she can captivate Xu Chang’an’s affection.

Having been together for years, the novelty that comes with makeup could benefit their marital cultivation a lot.

As for the cultivation technique... While applying makeup on Yun Qian just now, her True Qi wandered through her body, and she found her physique similar to the Hundred Leaks Body, conveniently easy to address.

Therefore, the technique she was referring to naturally allows Yun Qian to bypass the lower elixir field and directly reach the middle elixir field’s cultivation method.

To be honest, she thought of this when she heard Yun Qian wanted to learn some makeup skills.

"Tsk..."

Thinking of the images in her mind, Li Zhibai coughed, hid the blush on her face, and returned to her calm, stern demeanor.

The teacher must maintain face, and she should be mature in front of Xu Chang’an, with no need to shy away from such topics between couples.
