Chapter 692 - 0396 Sword Testing (2-in-1)

Ms. Zhu finished speaking, noticing the young man’s helpless expression, with his head down.

There’s probably no one else like me being an elder in the world...

Given what she said before, even a fool would know that attacking her has nothing to do with selecting a cultivation technique for Yun Qian.

It’s purely an excuse she made to force Xu Chang’an to comply.

Especially since Xu Chang’an’s slightly shocked and helpless gaze gradually calmed down, Zhu Pingniang felt even more guilty.

She quickly glanced at Xu Chang’an and then said in a quiet voice, "Not entirely an excuse from me...you’re Ah Bai’s student, so I actually do want to test your cultivation a bit, after all...Chang’an, it’s raining so heavily outside."

The more Zhu Pingniang spoke, the more confident she seemed to become, eventually standing with her hands on her hips and glaring at him:

"That rain...hmph, you’re full of secrets, why can’t I, your elder sister, be curious?"

There probably isn’t anyone as frank as her in the world either, directly admitting that because she was curious about Xu Chang’an’s secrets, she wanted to spar with him.

Xu Chang’an looked at Zhu Pingniang’s face, which seemed as if it were natural, not knowing what to say.

Helpless?

Perhaps somewhat, but honestly, seeing Zhu Pingniang rack her brains for reasons touched him more than it made him feel helpless.

"Ms. Zhu..."

"Mm?"

"I haven’t gone without sparring at the Chaoyun Sect, and I’ve completed many tasks around Beisang City." Xu Chang’an shook his head, "If my Spiritual Power was special, how could I hide it from your eyes?"

"It’s different." Zhu Pingniang said with interest, seriously staring at Xu Chang’an’s attractive fingers:

"Before, I didn’t pay much attention, moreover, others couldn’t see what’s odd about you, but I can."

After all, she never had a close look at Xu Chang’an in action before.

Zhu Pingniang thought she used the Celestial Essence Inner Realm, but at that time, Xu Chang’an was passive, so her methods seemed to sink like a stone in the sea without causing any ripples.

But if Xu Chang’an were on the attack, Zhu Pingniang believed her eyesight would surely be able to see a few differences between Xu Chang’an and ordinary people.

—

At this time, if Shi Qingjun were to see Zhu Pingniang’s eager expression, she might be speechless for quite a while.

For Shi Qingjun, who has already suffered a significant loss, she definitely wouldn’t do something as foolish as Zhu Pingniang, but this is also the difference between Zhu Pingniang and Shi Qingjun.

Previously, Zhu Pingniang did consider carefully how to deal with Xu Chang’an, who is full of secrets, but after a while, she’d throw such caution to the back of her head.

Better to crack the egg than fear it.

In her eyes, Xu Chang’an is just a junior, so why would it be strange for her to be curious about the junior’s secrets?

Moreover, Xu Chang’an himself doesn’t understand the secrets on him, nor has he ever shown a hint of resistance to others testing or investigating him.

Zhu Pingniang naturally has no fear.

"Chang’an." Zhu Pingniang watched Xu Chang’an lightly shake his head and said with a smile, "You agreed, right?"

"You’ve said so much, what reason do I have not to agree?" Xu Chang’an held his forehead with one hand, having found all sorts of reasons, even resorting to ’threatening’ using Miss Yun, how could he refuse?

Who would have thought the first time in life being ’threatened’ with Miss Yun isn’t asking for anything or greed but rather wanting to spar?

The temples really ache slightly.

"As long as you agree, my efforts to come up with so many reasons aren’t in vain, my brain almost couldn’t take it." Zhu Pingniang saw Xu Chang’an comply, smiling brightly as she patted her chest:

"Relax, when have I ever gone back on my word? I’ll definitely find a cultivation technique that’s both useful and comfortable for you and Miss Yun. You don’t know...since Hehuan Sect changed its cultivation path, all the former Yin Yang legacy lies with me...nobody understands it as well as I do."

She became more and more animated as she spoke.

"When it comes to the cultivation technique, anything you or Ms. Yun don’t understand, feel free to ask your elder sister."

?

No woman in the world would say to let a junior come consult her about Yin Yang cultivation, right?

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Compared to the stunned Xu Chang’an, Zhu Pingniang was more composed.

What’s there to be embarrassed about cultivation?

Although she’s pure-hearted, when it comes to cultivation, she’s never shy.

"Right, Chang’an, regarding the cultivation technique, there is a saying for women about using the Ren Meridian and Tai Chong Meridian, as Ms. Yun is innately weak, you’ll need to put in a bit more effort..."

While Zhu Pingniang wanted to discuss Yin Yang techniques with Xu Chang’an further, he couldn’t help but interrupt her.

"Ms. Zhu, let’s talk about this after we finalize the cultivation technique, right now...I’m a bit unsettled."

With Miss Yun not around, it’s best to act cautiously.

"Pah, such great prospects." Zhu Pingniang laughed, "Alright then, relax, as long as you obediently listen to me, I’ll take care of Yun’s cultivation."

She looked like a mischievous woman:

"Isn’t it just that she can’t accumulate Spiritual Power? Worst case, I’ll go swipe a couple of bottles of elixir from Ah Bai and feed her to the Taixu Realm."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Seeing Xu Chang’an stay silent, Zhu Pingniang thought he didn’t believe her, "It’s alright, I’ll aid her digestion. Except for Ah Bai’s custom-made Three Pristine Pill, Miss Yun can eat anything at will, and ensure she’ll be healthy and plump."
