However, Xu Changâan is not like that.
Regarding talent, Xu Changâanâs performance is unknown how far behind Wen Liâs.
As for âfilial pietyâ, although Xu Changâan helped her a lot in the Sword Hall, Li Zhibai, having lived so long, certainly wouldnât be moved by a juniorâs minor contributions, let alone consider taking him back as a student, or even... treating him as her own child.
Li Zhibai can confirm that even if she has more students in the future, no one will make her feel closer than Xu Changâan.
This boy is unique, likable without any apparent reasonâfrom the first glance, he seemed likable.
No matter how she thinks, she doesnât know why thereâs such an affinity... so, Li Zhibai can only feel that they are naturally destined, as Ah Bai said, some people were close in a past life, so they will also be fond of each other in this life.
Li Zhibai soon realized when she became aware that she was not just Xu Changâanâs teacher, but also his âmother.â
Because... although Xu Changâan and Yun Qian are in love, they still havenât held a wedding ceremony.
Li Zhibai only realized she suited the âmotherâ role after she was willing to sit in the main seat.
By that time, when the couple bows to the elders, it seems she would be the only one sitting there?
Tong Jun is the sister.
So itâs only her.
Li Zhibai just thinking about that scene made her feel a lot better, but unfortunately, she probably wouldnât see their wedding anytime soon.
For a woman, a wedding is extremely important, yet itâs always been lackingâaccording to Changâan, a wedding with just the two of them would be bleak, so he always wanted to give Yun Qian something better.
After all, if itâs only him and Yun Qian, then such a wedding would be no different from a simple vow of eternal love between the two and wouldnât achieve the ceremonious effect of a banquet.
It always has to be more lively, with good fates around?
Xu Changâan always wanted Yun Qian to meet a few friends, maybe with that intention, but Miss Yun couldnât figure out his mind, so she didnât consider this aspect.
But Li Zhibai thought about it.
In her spare moments during alchemy, she imagined the scene of Changâanâs wedding, and now... there are quite a few who would be willing to attend and bless them, but itâs still not enough.
Itâs still not enough.
Moreover, among these people, there might be a few bad women who like Yun Qian or Xu Changâan?
So itâs not the time yet, we can wait a bit longer.
Itâs really strange.
As a woman, she hasnât even attended a friendâs wedding, and thereâs no bit of romance around her... yet sheâs thinking about weddings.
In the past, Li Zhibai thought, if Tong Jun ever got married, she would definitely be happy for her, which would be the closest sheâd get to a wedding.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Tongjun this woman is considered to have been nurtured by her to ruin, and now, Xu Changâan relies on her more closely.
Without a romantic relationship, the first wedding sheâll attend will likely be her studentâs...
Fortunately, Li Zhibai doesnât mind this, so thereâs no feeling of defeat.
Instead, she worries that as a first-time mother, sheâs somewhat inexperienced.
Fortunately, Xu Changâan isnât a child who needs too much worry, she can gradually become competent while observingâsheâs always been this serious, striving not to disappoint her studentâs expectations.
Li Zhibai wasnât wrong.
Xu Changâan really thought, if he were to redo the wedding with Miss Yun, then the teacher would be the definite choice, even the only choice, for the top seat.
As for whether Li Zhibai holds the âmotherâ position in his heart...
Thereâs no doubt, of course she does.
He likes Li Zhibai so much, he even developed a sense of belonging to Muyu Peak for her, and has never thought about avoiding suspicion when getting close to Li Zhibai, even trying his best to introduce Yun Qian to Li Zhibai.
Heâd even unconsciously avoid the subject when Yun Qian casually brought up âparents.â
Now, since he has the teacher, thereâs no need for any surprises.
Xu Changâan certainly doesnât want, even though heâs already Miss Yunâs husband, for some biological parents to suddenly appear and tell him he actually has a marriage agreement outside... that would be quite humorous.
"..." Li Zhibai didnât know Xu Changâanâs exact thoughts, but at least she was meeting Yun Qian well according to Xu Changâanâs expectationsâeven if this girl actually gives off an unfriendly vibe.
Speaking of which.
Li Zhibai blinked.
What she said earlier, that even if she has another student in the future, none can be more loved than Xu Changâan... is actually incorrect.
Words shouldnât be too full, Xu Changâan is good, but certainly not the best.
For example, she could take care of a little girl?
Hmm.
Just as an example.
If Xu Changâan and Yun Qian were to have a daughter in the future and let her teach, she would be closer to Changâanâs daughter than her father, that would be naturally expected.
"... Never mind."
Li Zhibai couldnât help but sigh.
She really is an old maid, thinking about Changâanâs daughter already?
There are so many girls around Changâan, but none of them, including Zhu Pingniang, have thought about the third generation, but Li Zhibai would...
She really is an old-fashioned woman of the last generation.
And.
Li Zhibai stretched lazily, her graceful figure stretching under the moonlight, yet no one could admire this beautiful scene.
Old woman, yet still a woman.
Now, sheâs becoming more and more like a normal woman.
Previously, Li Zhibai wasnât like a woman, and to make someone whoâs not like a woman become like one, maybe itâs because thereâs a man in the heart, on the mind?
For her, becoming a woman started with becoming a mother.
Skipped too much.
Li Zhibai shook her head.
Why does she stay in the Flower Moon Building?
Indeed, part of the reason is because of the Sect Leader, but another part is that she wanted to feel the ordinary life of this world, Tong Jun really is a strange woman, able to freely switch between the scheming of the Cultivation Realm and everyday life.
Not sure how she does it.
But the girls in Flower Moon Building should be the most feminine... capable of making someone who only likes wearing a Daoist robe become more like a woman?
"..."
If the busy Zhu Pingniang knew Li Zhibaiâs chaotic thoughts at this moment, she would definitely nod hard and tell herâAh Bai, you are already a qualified woman.
After all, to have random thoughts, a wandering mind, and being concerned about a man...
These are the most iconic traits of a woman.
The once true Hidden Immortal, Chao Yun Pill Master, has already fallen from the clouds, gradually descending.
And who caused all of this... Zhu Pingniang takes no responsibility.
Itâs definitely Changâanâs fault, it was because he lacked a mother that he pulled Li Zhibai down from the skies.
ââ
In the banquet hall, the program was fully packed, Xu Changâan watched happily, Yun Qian leaned against him also watching.
At this time, Miss Lu had returned from outside and was now awkwardly sitting between Wen Li and Xu Changâan. Even from a few meters away, people could sense her stiffness and embarrassment.
Evidently, Miss Lu couldnât completely adapt to the atmosphere of everyone quietly watching the program.
But she still came, and... her gaze occasionally drifted over to Wen Li, and she seemed to have something to say but didnât dare to, clearly wanting to ask Wen Li something but lacking the courage.
Miss Lu had actually just remembered a personâQinling.
Someone she only heard Zhu Pingniang mention but had never seen, Zhu Pingniangâs âeldest daughter.â
Miss Lu was quite curious about this âelder sisterâ of hers, but no matter how much she asked, Zhu Pingniang wouldnât disclose Qinlingâs current situation to her, leaving her at a loss.
Previously she wouldnât talk much with Xu Changâan and was too shy to ask, plus she knew Xu Changâan hadnât been on the mountain long, so she never asked.
But suddenly she realized, Wen Li is different.
This Fairy surely... surely knows about Miss Qinlingâs situation.
Thinking of this, Miss Lu braved the awkward atmosphere and returned to the banquet stage, but when the moment came, she didnât know how to start, so she kept it in.
Wen Li noticed this, but since Miss Lu was Zhu Pingniangâs daughter, not her junior sister, she didnât open her mouth, she wouldnât ask proactively, just quietly continued watching the program.
Yun Qian held onto Xu Changâanâs arm, ignoring Miss Lu, instead, thinking about Li Zhibaiâand the Heavenly Dao.
Wedding?
And about something that lets her attain Enlightenment?
The information was too cluttered, Miss Yunâs head couldnât process it all.
She wanted to say itâs none of Miss Guan Yunâs business.
But...
Itâs a wedding, after all.
