Chapter 1046 - 574: Two Half-Demons (Double-Length)

Although Li Zhibai likes Yun Qian, deep down she still leans more towards her student.

This is human nature, after all, her initial fondness for Yun Qian came from Yun being Xu Chang’an’s wife, the person who saved his life... It is precisely because of this fondness that Li Zhibai discovered the deeper, more likable aspects of Yun Qian.

Without Xu Chang’an, no matter how beautiful Yun Qian is, Li Zhibai wouldn’t have taken a second glance after a first look.

So, just as she was about to blame Xu Chang’an internally, Li Zhibai had already found reasons for herself.

She took a deep look at the girl in front of her, whose mind was filled with all sorts of peculiar elements.

She couldn’t blame Chang’an just because Yun Qian said she wanted her husband to smack her palms.

Li Zhibai hadn’t forgotten the scene where Yun Qian once stepped on Xu Chang’an’s head...

’In any case, let the little couple handle their matters themselves.’

The affairs of these two have always been ones that Xu Chang’an doesn’t inquire about, and Li Zhibai doesn’t care about.

Li Zhibai also doesn’t think Xu Chang’an won’t tell her some embarrassing matters, after all, it’s that Chang’an—things like girls’ menstrual blood are embarrassing enough, but as long as it involves serious matters, Xu Chang’an can still discuss them in the finest detail with her.

Therefore, since Chang’an hasn’t mentioned it, this so-called ’bullying’ wouldn’t affect the couple’s relationship, so whoever bullies whom doesn’t concern Miss Li...

Because this isn’t a ’problem,’ but an ’interest.’

"..." Li Zhibai met Yun Qian’s clear and clean eyes and couldn’t help but sigh.

Clearly, she herself is also an unmarried woman, even though she’s a bit older... she too doesn’t want to hear about the loving affairs between the young couple.

She felt a slight twinge of hurt.

But she is the teacher, the elder sister, so she could only tug at the corners of her mouth, giving Yun Qian a not-so-forced, gentle smile.

"...?" Yun Qian tilted her head, blinking.

"Ms. Yun, what I mean is... if you want Chang’an to smack your palms, just go and tell him." Li Zhibai sighed, lowering her voice to a volume only Yun Qian could hear: "So, these matters between a couple, don’t say them when outsiders are present."

"Not an outsider." Yun Qian reminded Li Zhibai.

At this moment, those who could sit beside her were at least people who could make a "wish" to Miss Yun once, so where would there be an outsider?

"...Indeed." Li Zhibai’s eyes slightly twitched, but... she had already guessed that Yun Qian would say so, and was moved for just a moment.

"Even if not an outsider, talking about such matters with me, Chang’an might not be pleased." Li Zhibai rephrased.

"Not pleased?" Yun Qian stared at Li Zhibai for a while, then shook her head.

Did this Miss Li underestimate her position in Xu Chang’an’s heart?

To have Xu Chang’an make a special place in his heart full of her for a respected teacher, there is no way Xu Chang’an would be unhappy about such things.

Li Zhibai: "..."

Why couldn’t she explain it clearly, and why didn’t this Ms. Yun understand that while it may be normal for concubines to discuss such matters amongst themselves, outside of that, even the closest people can’t share those chamber affairs, they, as girls, are Chang’an’s ’family,’ not his concubines.

Yun Qian glanced at Li Zhibai without speaking.

Li Zhibai instinctively glanced at Zhu Pingniang, thinking that compared to herself, who didn’t understand the ways of young women... Tong Jun might be better.

"?!"

Hmm?

Originally shy, Zhu Pingniang’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

Detected a plea for help from Ah Bai?

This is a rare opportunity, she really should thank Yun Qian.

"Ahem." Zhu Pingniang cleared her throat, hiding the blush on her face, and said seriously to Yun Qian: "Ms. Yun, even if Chang’an wouldn’t get angry, telling me about these things, he might get shy. Think about it... his face is always so thin, it wouldn’t be good if he came over later and felt uneasy, right?"

Yun Qian blinked.

Is that so?

Seems true.

When facing him, her husband indeed gets easily blushed... Although Miss Yun thinks it’s not a bad thing, she had to admit that Zhu Pingniang made sense, so she nodded and softly said "hmm," indicating she understood.

Yun Qian took in Zhu Pingniang’s words.

Li Zhibai looked at the triumphantly proud look on Zhu Pingniang’s face, which seemed to be asking for credit, and sighed helplessly.

Tong Jun... really has her ways.

"Ah Bai, am I amazing?" Zhu Pingniang chuckled.

"...You have some skills." Li Zhibai didn’t expect Zhu Pingniang to ask such a question in front of Yun Qian, and gave her a kind smile.

"You woman, just not likable at all." Zhu Pingniang spat, hugging her own Lu’Er: "Ni Zi, Ah Bai is really ungrateful; I was helping her out, and she turns around and threatens me."

"Ms. Zhu." Miss Lu looked troubled, apologetically giving Li Zhibai a look, glad that Li Zhibai responded with a genuinely warm smile that could reassure anyone.

She sighed in relief, all the while feeling speechless as Zhu Pingniang nuzzled her cheek.

Her own sister was really something else.

Even when praising herself, why couldn’t she just give a proper compliment?

She had to step on Miss Li while praising herself, what was wrong with her head.
