Is there anything unusual about Xu Changāan compared to ordinary people... Of course, there is, or rather, he is completely different. In Yun Qianās eyes, Xu Changāan is not just unusual; heās the most special one, obviously different from all other existences in the world.
Compared to Xu Changāan and those related to him, the rest, in Yun Qianās mind, might even have a question mark about whether theyāre "human."
"..." Zhu Pingniang also realized this, she fell silent for a moment, then her lips twitched slightly.
Suddenly showered with affection, Zhu Pingniang felt quite aggrieved inside. Fortunately, she had just eaten a Beauty Fruit, which offered a bit of resistance, and sighed helplessly before saying, "Then Iāll ask in another way."
"Mm." Yun Qian responded.
"Right after being with you, did Changāan experience any unusual celestial phenomena?" Zhu Pingniang counted on her fingers: "Like Mars perching in the heart, comets crashing into the moon, bright rainbows crossing the sun, autumn stars appearing during the day, or two moons taking turns?"
Li Zhibai wanted to ask why they were all ominous symbols, but she held back.
"Never noticed." Yun Qian shook her head; when she was with Xu Changāan, where was the time to observe celestial phenomena?
Speaking of celestial phenomena... the place they lived being surrounded by heavenly thunder might count as one.
But since Zhu Pingniang didnāt bring it up, Yun Qian had no reason to mention it.
"Nothing like that? Oh...thatās normal." Zhu Pingniang nodded, then immediately asked, "Was Changāan found by his sister on the beach?"
"Yes."
"Then... the night before you found him, did you have any special dreams? For instance... dreaming of a dragon swirling in the sky, or dreaming of the sun, or sensing some unusual signs, like purple aura coming from the east or golden light descending?" Zhu Pingniang recited almost all legendary scenes of a saint descending, then expectantly looked at Yun Qian.
"Before he arrived, I wouldnāt dream." Yun Qianās tone was calm, as if saying the most obvious thing; her dreams... usually sheād only accompany him when Xu Changāan dreamt.
"...Ah." Zhu Pingniang was at a loss for words.
"Ms. Zhu, Miss Yun is the gentlemanās wife, not his mother, the things youāre asking about... why are they so odd?" Miss Lu quietly reminded Zhu Pingniang; it seemed as though Yun Qian dreamt of heavenly signs and then became pregnant, which was certainly a strange way to ask.
"Seems so." Zhu Pingniang shrugged: "Then I have no solution."
Communicating with Yun Qian was somewhat torturous for her because she wasnāt exactly a patient person... imagining, perhaps Wen Li might understand Yun Qianās thought process, yet Wen Li was clearly pretending to be dead with closed eyes now.
Wen Li didnāt care about Xu Changāanās uniqueness, as long as he was her junior, nothing else mattered to her.
It was Li Zhibai who spoke.
"Ms. Yun, has Changāan ever had Spiritual Power surrounding him in the past?" Li Zhibai kindly described, "That is, occasionally having some colored aura around him, perhaps protecting him, or when he occasionally encountered danger or things that displeased him... was there ever a rainbow-like glow surrounding him?"
Li Zhibaiās question hit the point because as long as someoneās talents lean towards Celestial Dao Spiritual Qi... any occurrences would at least prove Xu Changāanās talent existed from a young age.
"No." Yun Qian answered without thinking.
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?
Such a thing couldnāt possibly appear in the place where she and her husband lived; itās worth noting that until Xu Changāan arrived in Chaoyun, his system was in a half-dead state, not daring to speak more than a word, how could there be any unusual phenomena?
Afterwards, Li Zhibai and Zhu Pingniang exchanged for a while, summarized some points, and started asking Yun Qian again, resulting in... nothing.
Absolutely nothing unusual compared to ordinary people, overall, the image of Changāan in his youth became even clearer.
Generally speaking, it was just a troubled, amnesiac, yet understanding and studious child.
"Itās fine now." Zhu Pingniang pouted: "I canāt get anything from her, perhaps Changāan and Qingluo only exhibited anomalies after opening their sources."
"Thatās not right; Changāan... had unusual occurrences even before opening sources, nullifying your methods and most of the maidensā chess game Inner Realm." Li Zhibai shook her head: "There must be something amiss, maybe Ms. Yun canāt perceive it."
"Come to think of it, Ms. Yun... you really lived all on Changāanās support." Zhu Pingniang widened her eyes, realizing... this might be the most shocking result derived from their inquiry.
Based on Yun Qianās words, from the time Xu Changāan recovered after his misfortune, he took on their daily meals, washing, and cooking.
Essentially, fishing in the sea, picking fruits on the mountain, etc., all were done by Xu Changāan.
This is quite strange, at least from the perspective of a third party, there are just too many things to be criticized.
"Miss Yun, your family really trusts the gentleman, he was so young, yet allowed you to live with him." Miss Lu nodded.
"No... Changāan mentioned, Ms. Yun was a Miss, the island seeming like two people, yet supplies were regularly sent... so Ms. Yunās family must have some prominence locally." Zhu Pingniang pondered: "Conversely, why did you dwell alone in such a place? Without even a maid by your side?"
"..." Yun Qian blinked her eyes, without speaking.
"Tong Jun, this isnāt something we should be concerned with." Li Zhibai reminded her, in a chaotic world, one cannot logically comprehend the thoughts of large families, such as letting a Legitimate Daughter live alone on an isolated island, not interacting with outsiders, and praying day and night for the family, these examples are all too common.
"Oh, true..." Zhu Pingniang acknowledged this but understood instead: "I can see how the nature of Ms. Yun was cultivated."
Living alone continuously, Yun Qianās character, though peculiar, seemed natural.
"So, Changāan just seized the opportunity, taking advantage of your lack of exposure to others, sis..." Zhu Pingniang laughed.
Sheās basically given up on getting any useful information from Yun Qian.
Itās unavoidable.
Yun Qianās statements, though not full of loopholes, still had numerous questionable points... however, precisely because there are so many queries, theyāre actually not worth suspecting since everyone knows Yun Qian cares solely about matters concerning Xu Changāan; asking her to describe anything else would result in this scattered manner.
If Yun Qianās words were highly logical and without any confusion, now that would be strange.
Thus, with these words coming from Yun Qian, Zhu Pingniang and Li Zhibai werenāt suspicious; they felt it should indeed be this enigmatic.
"If thereās a chance, could you take us to see your former living place?" Zhu Pingniang asked with a smile, "Iām quite curious to know about your previous living environment."
Yun Qian thought for a bit, then said: "Youāll have to ask him about these things."
That place, maybe not an area ordinary people can enter, at least the husbandās system watches over it intensely...
But if Xu Changāan agrees, there should be no problem.
"..." Li Zhibai, upon hearing this, remained silent.
She suddenly remembered the wedding.
If these two were to have a wedding, perhaps returning to the āislandā mentioned by Yun Qian might be suitable?
...Pft.
Li Zhibai covered her face.
She was indeed distracted by Tong Jun, wasnāt the main focus supposed to be on the peculiarity of Xu Changāan? How did it turn into gossip about the coupleās romantic story and private world?
Zhu Pingniang murmured: "If itās a private world for the two, then... developing into what it is now should be expected."
What man, seeing a Miss being taken care of even in eating and changing clothes, wouldnāt possibly change over time?
She blinked, unable to resist asking: "Hey, Ms. Yun... does this count as pledging eternally? Iām very curious about who initiated intimacy when you first got together."
Li Zhibai: "..."
Wen Li: "..."
The atmosphere froze.
Zhu Pingniang blinked, wondering, why wasnāt it fun discussing which spouse takes initiative?
