Chapter 652 - 0377 The Scenery I Encountered (Two-in-One)

"Don’t you think, if someone saw you using Spiritual Power to block the rain earlier, what would happen?"

Currently, the Demon Race has inexplicably restrained themselves. In the short term, Zhu Pingniang still believes the Demon Sect poses a significant threat.

"If the people from the Chaoyun Sect see you, that’s fine because there’s the Sect Leader suppressing things. But if you go out on a mission later and the Demon Sect people see you, don’t expect peace after that."

The Qiankun Realm master of the Demon Sect can do anything imaginable.

"The people from the Demon Sect are all lunatics. If they really take an interest in you... you’d better stay in the Chaoyun Sect and not go anywhere else."

Zhu Pingniang was trying to scare Xu Chang’an, but she wasn’t completely unfounded.

"If you get caught then, let’s see what you’ll do." Zhu Pingniang said seriously, "Not everyone has the patience like our Sect Leader."

Xu Chang’an nodded.

Indeed, with so many secrets on him, even he finds it incredibly strange.

But the Sect Leader of Chaoyun Sect... even now still shows great patience and hasn’t done anything to him.

Just this alone makes Xu Chang’an think the Sect Leader of Chaoyun Sect is remarkable.

"Actually, even I don’t quite understand." Zhu Pingniang changed her tone, looking puzzled, "How come the Sect Leader isn’t curious about someone as strange as you, this boy?"

Zhu Pingniang tilted her head, scrutinizing Xu Chang’an up and down: "If it were me as the leader, I wouldn’t just let you act on your own... at the very least I’d call you over, thoroughly investigate you over three or five periods. Even if you claim ignorance, surely we could find something out."

Her tone was earnest, her gaze swept over the Glazed Jade at Xu Chang’an’s waist.

"Even if nothing useful is found, you’d still need to be... bound by my side."

Bound by barriers and safety measures would be the norm.

How can we let Xu Chang’an run around everywhere?

On the small scale, he’s a secret.

On the big scale... it might even be related to future paths upward.

That’s why Zhu Pingniang finds the Sect Leader’s approach very strange, mumbling, "Does the Sect Leader not want to test you, or... has she already tested you?"

At this point, Zhu Pingniang had vaguely guessed something.

However, no matter how much she imagines, she couldn’t think of Shi Qingjun using just a thought to evaporate twenty percent of her Cultivation power.

So Shi Qingjun didn’t continue taking measures, not because she really changed her nature... but this warning stopped all actions against Xu Chang’an.

Shi Qingjun was merely cool-tempered, not foolish.

She certainly doesn’t want to lose another twenty percent of Cultivation power.

Otherwise, Shi Qingjun might be able to imagine what kind of treatment she’d get falling into the hands of the Demon Sect master.

The opponent frequently made harsh remarks, saying she’d find her a man.

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Listening to Zhu Pingniang’s ramblings, Xu Chang’an had nothing to say.

Because he surprisingly felt Zhu Pingniang had a point, and... he could sense Zhu Pingniang wasn’t joking, clearly if she were in charge, he really wouldn’t escape being studied.

Indeed, worthy of Senior Zhu.

Truly does not hide her thoughts at all.

Zhu Pingniang glanced at Xu Chang’an.

She wasn’t joking, after all, not long ago she tried her best to drag Xu Chang’an into her Celestial Essence Inner Realm.

Can a normal woman use full force on a junior?

"However, even I have boundaries."

Zhu Pingniang’s tone softened:

"At least, when there was first suggestion to take your Soul out to have a look, I refuted it... From this point, I am still a gentle lady, right?"

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Listening to Zhu Pingniang’s earnest words, Xu Chang’an couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his eyes, while sucking in a cool breath internally.

Taking out the Soul for a look?

Is this something a righteous sect person would say?

"Oh, it just sounds terrifying, actually there’s no problem."

It’s just taking out for a look to prevent him being a spy or something.

Zhu Pingniang carefully explained to Xu Chang’an:

"I did ask Ah Bai at the time, although normally extracting the Three Souls and Seven Spirits has severe impacts on a person, as long as she has the Soul Calming Pill, you just... just need to lie down for a month to recover."

There would be no aftereffects and also benefits for Cultivation due to the Soul Calming Pill’s presence.

"You..."

Xu Chang’an had nothing to say, just calmly looking at Zhu Pingniang.

"Want to say something, say."

"Ms. Zhu, did you have a moment of impulse?"

"Oh, who’s impulsive..."

Zhu Pingniang froze for a moment, stared blankly at the young man for quite some time, then suddenly realized this impulse wasn’t as she understood, and a handsome blush appeared on her face.

"Yes, I was impulsive, so what."

Indeed, she had considered the Ni Zi’s suggestion—referring to taking out his Soul to see what’s wrong.

"But I refused, didn’t I." Zhu Pingniang shook her head: "After all, your Sea of Consciousness is too weird, different from normal people’s, so you can’t take the risk."

Xu Chang’an sighed.

So, he almost lost his Soul because his Sea of Consciousness was strange.

And because his Sea of Consciousness was too strange, worried something might go wrong midway, he narrowly escaped?

What is this?

The young man was full of helplessness.

"What, angry at big sis?" Zhu Pingniang reached into the Sweet Bag, took out a plum, and in Xu Chang’an’s dazed expression, shoved the plum into his mouth, shrugging: "Anyway, I’m just a bad woman, you’re not knowing it for the first time."
