Chapter 694 - 0397 The Proper Miss Zhu (Two-in-One)

Miss Lu and Yun Qian were chatting quite pleasantly.

She looked at Yun Qian’s serene face, thinking that communicating with this young lady was truly simple.

Yun Qian was entirely devoid of any schemes, so figuring out her preferences was as easy as pie.

It hadn’t been long before Miss Lu discovered Yun Qian’s fondness for sweet pastries, and that despite her cold demeanor, she would earnestly respond with a few words to any topic concerning Xu Chang’an.

"Miss Yun, you went to the Immortal Sect with the Young Master... Is everything going smoothly with his cultivation there?" Miss Lu asked softly.

After she spoke, she regretted it a bit, for such words were quite rude and not her place to ask, but... thinking about how Xu Chang’an’s Sect was Zhu Pingniang’s "maiden family," and might even be her own "maiden family" in the future, she was very curious.

Yun Qian gave her a glance and said: "It’s going smoothly."

"That’s good, it seems the Immortal Sect is decent." Miss Lu sighed in relief, but then jokingly said: "No wait, I shouldn’t say that, because the Young Master is so good, naturally he’d feel smooth anywhere he goes."

"Mm." Yun Qian nodded.

Miss Lu: "..."

After a moment of silence, she covered her face.

Even after shamelessly saying something like that, Miss Yun still reacted in such a manner.

Indeed, she really doesn’t get jealous, does she?

Of course, it’s her fault.

Would an ordinary young lady accompany her husband to the brothel to attend a party with the girls?

Would an ordinary young lady be left alone in the hall during such a party without any complaints?

She really made a fool of herself.

She was thinking... if Yun Qian wasn’t as rumored, and actually had a jealous nature, she would persuade Zhu Pingniang to be more mindful of Xu Chang’an.

"Compared to you, I... am truly despicable," Miss Lu felt deeply ashamed for her words probing for an answer. She stood up and gave Yun Qian a bow, then poured a cup of juice and offered it to Yun Qian herself.

"?"

Seeing Yun Qian look a bit puzzled, Miss Lu’s face reddened to her neck, with her ears turning blood crimson.

"Don’t look at me like that, Miss Yun... Have this cup, otherwise... I wouldn’t have the face to sit here any longer."

Miss Lu covered her face, looking as if she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"...I understand." Yun Qian took the cup, gently sipped from it, then looked across Miss Lu’s pretty face.

The ladies around her husband, even though the Karma Line connected them to Zhu Pingniang, still made her glance twice.

Here, seeing Yun Qian take the cup, Miss Lu finally felt relieved, as if she lay down all the thoughts she had while being around Zhu Pingniang, treating people sincerely.

"Miss Yun, is the Immortal Sect interesting?" Miss Lu’s eyes brightened with curiosity at this moment.

"Interesting." Yun Qian nodded.

Compared to Beisang City, it was naturally interesting to often be with Xu Chang’an.

"Hmm..." Miss Lu swallowed, eyes showing a bit of desire.

Heavens.

If even a cool, composed woman like Yun Qian thinks the Chaoyun Sect is interesting, then what kind of earthly paradise must it be above Chaoyun itself?

She truly wanted to know the appearance of the Immortal Sect now.

Hence, she asked whatever came to her mind, speaking without thinking, becoming a different person from that previous cautious young lady who planned ten sentences for every one she spoke.

She subconsciously found that speaking frankly with Yun Qian gave a refreshing feeling.

"Then... is Young Master Xu impressive in the Immortal Sect?" Miss Lu asked.

Her Ms. Zhu said that the Young Master wasn’t much in the Immortal Sect and boasted about her own abilities, but from Miss Lu’s limited perspective, she still admired the Young Master more.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qian looked at the light and shadow reflected in the juice in her cup, then blinked.

How could someone ask her such a question?

Is her husband impressive?

"Yes." Yun Qian said it straightforwardly, as if it was only natural.

"How impressive? Can he be as omnipotent as the storytellers say?" Miss Lu asked with keen interest.

"Mm." Yun Qian glanced in the direction of Xu Chang’an and softly said:

"If he desires, there’s nothing he cannot achieve."

"I see." Miss Lu squinted and smiled.

She wasn’t a child... but hearing Yun Qian’s "praise" of Xu Chang’an, she felt that this should be a wife’s view of her husband.

No matter what the truth is, a lady’s husband should be the most remarkable person under the heavens.

Mm.

Watching Yun Qian’s earnest expression, Miss Lu gradually realized that she had been seamlessly showered with admiration again.

Sweet, yet a bit sour.

She somewhat understood Ms. Zhu’s feelings.

Thinking of this, Miss Lu began to feel dissatisfied.

Where’s Ms. Zhu?

Why hasn’t she come back after going out for so long?

Miss Lu showed a bit of suspicion.

Speaking of... she earlier found a cooking excuse to help Ms. Zhu escape. Could it be she actually went to look for the Young Master?

——

Completely unaware that her thoughts had been seen through by the girl, Zhu Pingniang was still full of interest.

Zhu Pingniang wondered what kind of talent Xu Chang’an possessed?

After a moment of fruitless contemplation.

Suddenly, Zhu Pingniang raised her head.

In the air, a few drops of rain quietly fell.

"Shh."

The longsword at the waist was half unsheathed, Xu Chang’an’s surroundings were enveloped in mist.

"Hmm?" Zhu Pingniang stretched out her hand to catch the rain, then fell silent.

Although at this moment the space was crafted by her using her Spiritual Power combined with the Inner Scenery Technique, it was essentially still within a small kitchen, and yet... it rained.
