Chapter 647 - 0374 Wen Li and Liu Qingluo Both Need Mirrors (Two-in-One)_2

"But I can understand, after all, no one could have expected that Wen Li would make so much progress in just a few years." Zhu Pingniang squinted at Xu Chang’an, "Chang’an, tell me... why do you think this is?"

"...?" Xu Chang’an was taken aback, not sure why Zhu Pingniang was asking him, but he still said, "Senior Sister practices day and night, and that’s how it should be."

"Hopefully, that’s the case." Zhu Pingniang laughed, "I really like mirrors, after all, my magical artifact is a copper mirror. Just letting you know in case you didn’t."

"...??? " Xu Chang’an was puzzled, not understanding what the senior was rambling about.

"I didn’t expect you to understand," Zhu Pingniang stretched lazily and muttered, "Nowadays, no one is qualified to be her mentor in Sword Dao. She... has gone too far ahead."

It should be a good thing, yet when talking about this matter, Zhu Pingniang showed no happiness at all; instead, her eyes were filled with worry.

Xu Chang’an caught Zhu Pingniang’s emotion but didn’t quite understand, "Is this... not good?"

He thought Senior Wen was indeed a remarkable person.

"Have you seen Wen Li’s Sword Intent Heart Image?" Zhu Pingniang asked in return.

"I have." Xu Chang’an nodded.

An ancient longsword was embedded in the vast mountains and rivers, with an indisputable majesty.

This was part of Wen Li’s Sword Intent.

White Sword Cyan Radiance, using mountains and rivers as the scabbard.

But everyone knows that only when a sword is unsheathed can its sharpness be measured — yet Wen Li’s sword had never been unsheathed.

"But she’s just at the Mingxin Realm." Zhu Pingniang sighed lightly.

It’s important to know that Wen Li is only at the peak of the Clarity Heart Realm, although she might break through at any time, the fact is that in cultivation realm, she’s only one major realm higher than Xu Chang’an, she was truly just starting out.

The first two realms of cultivation are mostly about laying the foundation.

The Open Source Realm, tracing and peering into sources, free from illness, light in body, marking the divide between cultivators and ordinary people.

Following this is the Mingxin Realm, where one has clear vision and understanding of oneself, and clarity is achieved where the eyes can see.

These are merely the basics.

Only after reaching the Mingxin, when one reaches the Cloud Soaring Realm, can one truly travel to famous mountains and fly freely, barely stepping into the door of cultivation.

So it’s no wonder that the people from the Profound Sword Bureau looked down on Wen Li, certain that Muyu Peak would accept this marriage proposal.

After all, no matter how high Wen Li’s talent is, she’s only at the Mingxin Realm now, not yet at the Cloud Soaring stage.

But the problem lies here.

Wen Li’s combat ability is completely disproportionate to her realm!!

The Sword Qi that girl casually unleashes already carries Sword Intent far surpassing her realm, even exceeding the realm two or three levels above her.

For any Sword Cultivator, Wen Li is frightening, she’s like a sharp Divine Sword, just a glance could potentially disturb a Sword Cultivator’s Sword Heart.

Within the Chaoyun Sect, it’s not just the disciples who watch Wen Li move forward, even some veteran Hall Masters can only see her back view.

This kind of Wen Li is undeniably overwhelming when facing Sword Cultivators.

Even if she’s not facing Sword Cultivators, as Ah Bai told her, Wen Li now holding a sword should be able to spar against a cultivator in the Taixu Realm.

What kind of concept is this?

Zhu Pingniang didn’t understand, but she thought of Liu Qingluo.

Suddenly, Liu Qingluo and Wen Li seemed somewhat similar.

The severe rift between mental realm and cultivation realm would inevitably lead to uncontrollable things... For example, Wen Li seems to have thoughts of giving up Sword Dao now.

Hmm.

It is said that Wen Li’s mentor is already anxious.

Brightness of the heart, clarity of heart, is to have Wen Li clear her genuine intentions, not to let her pick up the weapons of the mortal battlefield.

You must know, everyone says Sword Dao is difficult, heritage is broken, the future is so uncertain that one can only explore on their own, but having an astoundingly brilliant Innate Sword Master like Wen Li is a great blessing for Sword Cultivators.

If she were to give up cultivating Sword Dao...

It might be a big issue.

"But I think, if that girl picks up a Tassel Spear, it’s not bad either." Zhu Pingniang sighed lightly, "After all, that girl used to wield grand and flamboyant things on the battlefield."

In Xu Chang’an’s somewhat confused gaze, Zhu Pingniang softly stated, "Chang’an, I’ve always felt that in today’s cultivation world, temperament is more important than talent."

"Senior... doesn’t quite understand." Xu Chang’an replied.

Actually, he felt talent was more important than temperament because temperament can be improved.

"I understand what you mean." Zhu Pingniang tilted her head and sighed, "But if the talent is frighteningly high, then... a flaw in temperament becomes very deadly. Can you understand if I put it this way?"

"I don’t understand." Xu Chang’an showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Fool."

Zhu Pingniang scolded him angrily.

Thought he might be an Immortal Reincarnation, could understand it.

Since he doesn’t understand, let it be.

Actually, Zhu Pingniang was just worried, worried that in this great era of conflicts between the Demon Race and Human Race, people with exceptional talent are bound to have corresponding responsibilities.

And Wen Li...

Her talent might in some way not lose to Liu Qingluo at all.

After all, these two can’t even be understood with logic, let alone who is better than the other.

"So, both of them... need a mirror." Zhu Pingniang blinked, and then asked in Xu Chang’an’s puzzled gaze:

"Chang’an, I heard you have a Li Hua on the mountain?"

"?"

Xu Chang’an was stunned.

Weren’t we talking about Senior Wen?

But fortunately, Xu Chang’an was early on accustomed to Zhu Pingniang’s scatterbrained nature, only taking it as her asking whatever came to mind since he had just recently told Zhu Pingniang about Qinling raising a Li Hua.

Xu Chang’an nodded, "It was said some Senior Sister picked it up and has been taking care of it for a while, I call it Xiaohua."

Upon saying this, Xu Chang’an smiled, "Ms. Zhu, Xiaohua’s Open Source was earlier than mine."

"Xiaohua?" Zhu Pingniang blinked, looking at the oil-paper umbrella embroidered with little white pear blossoms in the corner of the room, then at Xu Chang’an, she asked:

"Xu Xiaohua?"

"Not Xu Xiaohua." Xu Chang’an shook his head, "Why would I give it my surname."

So it’s just Xiaohua.

"Oh, I actually think Xu Xiaohua is a pretty nice name." Zhu Pingniang lowered her eyelids.

Now, even Wen Li herself can’t figure out her own thoughts, so Zhu Pingniang had no intention of getting involved in Wen Li’s matters this time.

After all, she doesn’t even know how to handle her own Qingluo.

"However, your liking of Li Hua is ultimately a good thing." Zhu Pingniang said, suddenly a bit puzzled, "Chang’an, the Xiaohua you mentioned, it’s a demon race, you really don’t mind at all?"

Half-Demon is one thing.

But even a demon race, and he can accept it without issue.

"Xiaochang’an, are you possibly a spy inserted by some demon race, how can you accept everything?"

"..."

Hearing Zhu Pingniang’s obvious joke, Xu Chang’an thought of Xiaohua who would lie on the wall, eat fruits, and snuggle in his arms, seriously saying, "It’s well-behaved and cute, so I like it."

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

Nothing more to say.

Not liking truly cute girls, but instead liking Li Hua.

She thought there must be something wrong with Xu Chang’an.

Problem with his head?

But these things have nothing to do with her anymore, so Zhu Pingniang said, "You don’t need to worry too much about the matter of Sikong Jing, he sought you out hoping you would say a few nice things for Wen Li so he can put the blame for the marriage proposal on his father."

When Sikong Jing came to her, he had already mentioned this plea.

That boy held only admiration and respect for Wen Li, without a single extraneous thought, even being the most opposed when he learned that his father proposed marriage on his behalf.

Now he just hopes that Wen Li doesn’t dislike him, as he’s still hoping to ask for Wen Li’s guidance.

"Is that so?" Xu Chang’an understood.

If that’s the case, then there’s really nothing for him to worry about.

"Yes, that’s the case." Zhu Pingniang clicked her tongue, "It’s just... seeking you for help, no idea if Sikong Jing has a brain issue too."

He really knows how to pick people.
