Yun Qianâs popularity is truly a source of chaos. When she went to Muyu Peak, it caused the ladiesâ information network to explode for a long time, paralyzing it with endless discussions about Yun Qian, leaving no room for any other serious messages.
What kind of place is Muyu Peak?
Itâs a gathering of women unwilling to change, unwilling to abandon their charm technique, unwilling to accept the Hehuan Sectâs transformations, thus separating from Zhu Pingniang and living in the old era.
In the eyes of these women, looking good is the hard truth.
As long as you look better than I do, and possess more grace shaped by the Six Arts for Women, Iâll yield to you.
So Yun Qianâs appearance inevitably brings comparisons among them, leading to the scenario where everyone knows about Yun Qian.
A mere Xu Changâan, appearing to be the only male disciple on Muyu Peak, seldom truly interests the ladies.
But Yun Qian is different; in this current spread, many on Muyu Peak donât know Xu Changâan, while only a few donât know Yun Qian.
Realizing Yun Qianâs sensation might be beyond her imagination, Zhu Pingniang was initially stunned, then got up and approached the mirror, gazing at her own black pearl-like dress, making a tut-tut sound.
"Seems like Iâm not the only one feeling overshadowed... it does make me much more comfortable." Zhu Pingniang mused, strengthening her resolve to cultivate Yun Qian into the perfect lady.
Missing out on Yun Qian, finding another woman who can make them admit defeat... Who knows how many years must pass.
She blinked.
Suddenly, remembering something, Zhu Pingniang turned to Wen Li, "Ah Li, do you also think Yun Qian is very beautiful?"
"Yes." Wen Li nodded without hesitation.
"Prettier than yourself?" Zhu Pingniang asked again.
"?" Wen Li looked at Zhu Pingniang quizzically, although she didnât speak, her willingness to comment was quite evident.
For a woman like her, possessing cluelessness to compare herself to Yun Qian would be immense.
"I honestly think... You right now are not much different from Yun Qian." Zhu Pingniang glanced deeply at Wen Li, roughly guessing the reason behind Wen Liâs profound transformation.
Perhaps, Wen Li was stimulated by Yun Qian... Reflecting on when Wen Liâs changes occurred, it aligns with her becoming the guide for Yun Qian.
Wen Li shook her head.
Sheâs far inferior to Junior Sister Yun.
"Actually, I find something peculiar." Zhu Pingniang looked at her reflection in the mirror, tilting her head to the right, causing the ruby pendant on her ear to sway gently.
According to Wen Li, Yun Qianâs emergence stirred such sensation not merely because of her beauty, but more due to... each person seeing Yun Qian differently.
Roughly speaking, one sees a ridge while another sees a peak.
Many women said they saw various images in her, deeply drawn by the stunning, surreal scenes that disturb the sea of consciousness.
They were no longer seeing mere beauty, but something akin to illusory splendor.
The same beauty, yet the directions diverged greatly, rendering Yun Qianâs aura vastly different in their scrolls.
Itâs truly peculiar.
Regarding appreciating women, Muyu Peakâs professional ladies showed such discrepancies... Zhu Pingniang couldnât comprehend.
After all, Yun Qian is just Yun Qian, whom sheâs quite familiar with.
Moreover, Zhu Pingniang herself belongs to Muyu Peak; upon first seeing Yun Qian, she only saw beauty, without any surreal scenes or disturbances in her sea of consciousness.
Merely perceived beauty, lacking the Muyu Peakâs seemingly spellbound phenomenon.
"Itâs really strange, Ms. Yun is undeniably pretty... But itâs not to the extent of igniting the whole Muyu Peak, right?" Zhu Pingniang found it inconceivable.
Could Yun Qian inherently possess illusion technique?
Because her realm is too high, unaffected by Yun Qianâs allure, while others without such mental cultivation are enthralled by Yun Qianâs constructed charm?
But whatever Zhu Pingniang thought, she couldnât believe Yun Qian, a girl devoid of expression for half a day, had any seductive power.
"Ah Li, do you... find your spirit platform stirred when seeing Yun Qian?" Zhu Pingniang asked.
"Yes." Wen Li nodded.
Upon first meeting Yun Qian that night, she lingered for a long time, indeed her sword heart was shaken.
"Donât you find it odd? An entire Muyu Peak engulfed in disarray because of her." Zhu Pingniang frowned, "Those women felt overshadowed, then accepted it just like that? Doesnât it make them question Yun Qianâs ability to unsettle minds?"
"I heard itâs about Junior Brother." Wen Li answered Zhu Pingniangâs doubt.
"Changan? Whatâs he got to do with it?" Zhu Pingniang was perplexed.
"Everyone knows Junior Brother can ignore the inner realm," Wen Li explained.
The Muyu Peak women believe Yun Qian can stir their spirit platform and transform beautifully because Xu Changâan is beside her.
This feeling of otherworldliness isnât derived from a woman named Yun Qian, but from her as "Xu Changâanâs wife," jointly cultivated by the couple.
Because Xu Changâan naturally ignores the inner realm, causing "real harm" to the women here?
The boyâs mystique has been felt here among the ladies; itâs just another aspect, not worth baffling.
"..." Zhu Pingniang listened to Wen Liâs words, falling silent.
What kind of explanation is this?
"Did they... believe it?"
"They did." Wen Li nodded, "Many seniors concurred, believing Junior Sister Yunâs peculiar allure is related to Junior Brother."
Because a group of seniors acknowledged it, everyone tacitly accepted Yun Qianâs allure as rational.
"Those old women actually... oh." Zhu Pingniang recalled something, suddenly understanding.
It really made sense.
Due to the Sect Leader, Muyu Peakâs top brass is aware Xu Changâan might be an immortal reincarnated.
Since Yun Qian, the immortal reincarnatedâs wife, claimed his primordial yang since youngânaturally, sheâs imbued with and nurtured by the immortalâs aura...
Knowing this, Yun Qian having peculiar traits is the most reasonable evidence.
Wen Li, observing, blinked.
Not merely so.
Recently, thereâs a popular rumor on Muyu Peak...
Saying if one becomes Xu Changâanâs wife, after his influence on their aura, breath, and spirit, theyâll become as beautiful as Miss Yun.
After all, Yun Qian, despite lacking the Six Arts, showing few expressions, is inexplicably beautifulâthis is the best evidence.
Thus, many on the mountain believe marrying Xu Changâan genuinely makes one beautiful...
It sounds absurd.
Yet the Muyu Peak women happen to believe, and... those Hehuan Sect remnants will do anything to improve their beauty.
And due to this news, Wen Li truly believed Zhu Pingniang jokingly mentioned her affection for Xu Changâan.
She didnât just hear Zhu Pingniang talk about affection but considered Zhu Pingniang contemplating marriage likelihood.
Of course, Zhu Pingniang is Hehuan Sectâs biggest "remnant," seeking to enhance her beauty... So even if Zhu Pingniang personally decides to test Xu Changâanâs supposed magical ability, Wen Li wouldnât be surprised at all.
Now, she found Zhu Pingniangâs attitude strange, unexpectedly lighthearted towards Junior Brother.
Expecting her to genuinely be very fond of him indeed.
Wen Li slightly raised her head, watching Zhu Pingniang deeply pondering.
Zhu Pingniangâs mutterings: "Why canât I... I see any anomaly in Ms. Yun."
How could this be?
Everyone else sees Yun Qianâs uniqueness, but she doesnât?
Why?
Is it because... her focus is all on Xu Changâan, timid... afraid to look at Yun Qian?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
She doesnât believe it.
