Chapter 1020 - 561: Kindness Is a Simple Algorithm (Double-Length)

Of course, no one in the current world has seen the true "Child of Heaven", and what she knows is all from what is written in the books.

After all, even Shi Qingjun isn’t someone favored by Heaven.

So Li Zhibai hesitated at first and didn’t voice her guess.

But she actually sensed the aura of the Heavenly Dao, and yet, the only one who could have such an aura is the Child of Heaven.

Why is Miss Lu like this, being pinched around and bullied by Tong Jun?

Could she just have been favored by the Heavenly Dao, or perhaps being watched by it?

After that brief flash, she indeed no longer felt the aura again.

Strange.

She recorded the incident, ready to report to the Sect Leader... oh, there’s no need to report it, the Sect Leader is right here.

Wait.

Could it be that the Sect Leader is in the brothel because of her?

"Tong Jun, you really have a knack for picking people," Li Zhibai suddenly said helplessly.

"Ah Bai, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing."

Xu Chang’an was sent up by Zhu Pingniang.

And then there’s the Immortal Talent Liu Qingluo.

And now, there’s another girl who perhaps is destined to become the protagonist of an era, watched by Frosty Heaven.

What more surprises can you give me?

This world, she really can’t understand it more and more.

Zhu Pingniang was puzzled at first, then quickly understood.

Tsk.

What does it mean to really have a knack for picking people up from the mountain?

Could she have known beforehand that Chang’an had such great talent and a mysterious Sea of Consciousness, and could even incite heavenly anomalies, even growing to look so good after cultivation?

Impossible, when she sent Chang’an to Chaoyun, it wasn’t for these reasons, it was merely because the child’s eyes were very pure.

At that time, Zhu Tongjun had already become Zhu Pingniang, transforming from an aloof fairy into the mother of the courtesans, plus the good reviews about Xu Chang’an from her daughters, which inadvertently aroused her curiosity and fondness.

After all, the simplest way to win a mother’s favor is to have her daughters like you.

Upon further attention, Zhu Pingniang then felt she had found a treasure.

At that time, Xu Chang’an was simply an uncut jade, while Zhu Pingniang saw all other men as mere dark shadows, which she couldn’t be bothered to look at, Xu Chang’an was like a small firefly.

Sometimes, you don’t need the sun to pierce through the darkness; just a ray of light is enough.

As for the firefly later truly growing brighter, eventually likened to the sun, that moved her... those are stories for another day.

Among all the men, Xu Chang’an appeared so dazzling, and no matter her situation, Xu Chang’an never stared at her with the same view as others.

In fact, there are quite a few such men, at least Zhu Pingniang knew a lot of well-known "gentlemen" in the Cultivation Realm.

But the issue was that Xu Chang’an’s heart was steadfast enough, so steadfast that Zhu Pingniang almost wanted to extract his soul to see how this child seemed like a monk with a thousand-year meditation, accompanied by the light and the ancient Buddha.

He actually ignored her Dusk Rain Melody; at first, she just wanted to tease him, but even when she exerted more effort and used her unique methods, yet unable to move Xu Chang’an, Zhu Pingniang realized... he would certainly be someone with limitless prospects in the future.

Simply put, Xu Chang’an had things he wanted to pursue and people he wanted to protect, which are the most needed conditions for cultivation; it meant he had desires.

The fear isn’t about having no desires; it’s about having desires and... being able to restrain them.

So she gave the young man an opportunity.

But it was only an opportunity.

Zhu Pingniang, although claiming it was she who sent Xu Chang’an up the mountain, thinking he should respect her more than Li Zhibai... indeed never felt she had done Xu Chang’an any great favor.

Taking care of Yun Qian... can that be considered a favor?

In the end, while Xu Chang’an wasn’t around, Yun Qian hadn’t encountered a single danger, she hadn’t even had the chance to care for her, as Yun Qian hadn’t met her face once during all those days.

Is it said she replaced everyone around Yun Qian’s residence with unmarried women... can that be considered good care?

Impossible.

As for Xu Chang’an, there’s even less talk about any grace.

Zhu Pingniang always disliked the phrase... that Xu Chang’an was her find from the mountain.

She glanced over and confirmed Yun Qian was indeed in a daze, seemingly about to fall asleep, Zhu Pingniang then leaned her body forward, directly engaging Li Zhibai in conversation past Miss Lu and Yun Qian.

"Ah Bai, next time don’t say Chang’an is my find from the mountain; I feel uncomfortable hearing it, somewhat embarrassed inside."

Miss Lu: "..."

My Ms. Zhu, is what you’re saying true?

On this matter, do you really feel embarrassed?

The sisters from Flower Moon Building, aren’t they all picked by her, she, Ah Qing, Huang’Er were all picked up, Ah Qing’s case was more like pitying her on the road and forcibly taking her back despite Ah Qing’s will.

"What’s the matter?" Li Zhibai was still thinking about Miss Lu’s issues, casually responded.

Is there a problem?

"What do you mean by picking? It’s like Chang’an was unwanted, listening to it makes me feel quite uncomfortable," Zhu Pingniang said.
