Chapter 1051 - 576: The Unseen Person (Double - )

"Ms. Zhu, why are you laughing?" Miss Lu was displeased with Xu Chang’an being mocked.

"I’m not making fun of him, it’s genuinely amusing." Zhu Pingniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and waved her hand: "Meeting her, it’s impossible, impossible..."

Chang’an’s occasional naivety is very interesting.

There are many people who want to meet the Sect Leader, who wouldn’t want to meet this Lord of Qing Province?

But is meeting the Sect Leader as simple as just wanting to?

Especially over a minor thing like a jade pendant.

Besides, after all, the Sect Leader gave him the jade pendant only to conceal his cultivation of swallowing spiritual qi’s disturbance. Anyone else looking for fame wouldn’t consider it a favor, so Xu Chang’an need not worry.

"Could it be impossible to meet?" Xu Chang’an slightly furrowed his brows.

"..." Li Zhibai remained silent, saying nothing.

"I’m telling you, it’s impossible for you to meet her, give up." Zhu Pingniang said frankly, then smiled charmingly: "Chang’an, a stranger gives you a jade pendant, and you feel obligated to give thanks and remember the favor. So how do you plan to repay your sister for all her kindness to you?"

She was actually somewhat looking forward to it.

At this time, she began to appreciate the saying "A drop of water in need, should be returned with a spring."

"Don’t look at your sister like that, I’m just the kind of bad woman who seeks repayment for favors." Zhu Pingniang blinked at Xu Chang’an’s helpless gaze: "Come on, tell me, how do you plan to repay me?"

This wasn’t a threat for repayment, rather anyone could see it was a sister coquettishly teasing her brother.

Even Lian Yunqian could tell it was a joke, otherwise Yun Qian might have spoken up and said, "Just tell me any wish you want."

Of course Xu Chang’an could see it, he said helplessly: "I’ll do whatever you say."

"How uncreative." Zhu Pingniang sat back down, somewhat disappointed.

She lacked nothing, so she wouldn’t give him orders. Actually, this sort of thing only surprises her when Xu Chang’an decides how to repay her, making demands herself... really is uninteresting.

"You see, I’m so good to you, and you can’t even think of a way to repay me, yet a mere jade pendant doesn’t need to be taken to heart." Zhu Pingniang returned to the main point: "So, you don’t need to think about giving thanks, after all, you can’t even see her face, even I don’t know how many years it will be before I speak with her again."

Zhu Pingniang’s words were filled with emotion, she had previously met the God because of the array map, who knows when the next time will be...

The Sect Leader...

Sometimes Zhu Pingniang feels that the other person is just like a God from the heavens, even though they are just one realm higher than her, they’re completely from a different world.

"Can’t meet her face?" Xu Chang’an’s blinking frequency gradually increased, murmured: "Isn’t it so, did I guess wrong?"

Is it possible that the senior outside, eating fruit and playing cards with the ladies, isn’t the one who gifted her the jade pendant?

"Guessed wrong? Guessed what wrong?" Zhu Pingniang asked curiously.

"I mean, outside there is... um." Xu Chang’an was about to say something when Li Zhibai’s pupils shrank, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Soon after, Xu Chang’an’s jaw was suddenly covered by a soft palm, sealing his words back in.

"..."

Xu Chang’an blinked.

Yun Qian also blinked.

Because the scene in front of them was quite strange.

They saw Li Zhibai just holding Yun Qian’s wrist, then using Yun Qian’s hand to cover Xu Chang’an’s mouth—it was clear that the advice avoiding talk from the ladies of the Flower Moon Building, Li Zhibai had taken to heart.

As a teacher, having physical contact with a student is indeed inappropriate.

"Chang’an." Li Zhibai took a deep breath, his expression serious: "Come with me outside to talk."

"...Ah?" Xu Chang’an was stunned, not understanding what was happening, but after coming to his senses, he still nodded: "Alright."

"Ah Bai, what are you doing?" Zhu Pingniang was puzzled.

"Nothing, I was just going to explain the matter of the jade pendant to Chang’an; you also know it’s something he does need to understand to avoid trouble in the future." Li Zhibai said.

"... Is that necessary? Oh well." Zhu Pingniang shook her head.

She knew how much Li Zhibai revered the Sect Leader, so she didn’t find her wanting to remind Xu Chang’an strange.

Indeed, since it was something given by the Sect Leader, it wouldn’t be good for Chang’an to keep directly calling it a "favor". After all, the Sect Leader might have long since forgotten this glazed jade.

"Chang’an, come with me." Li Zhibai said, walking towards the door.

Xu Chang’an let Yun Qian get up from his knee and then followed Li Zhibai out.

Yun Qian stood for a moment, then, amidst the astonished looks of all the girls in the hall, she also followed Xu Chang’an out.

"...)" Miss Lu.

Confused.

What happened?

Why did they all suddenly leave?

Yun Qian too, Li Zhibai obviously only meant for Xu Chang’an to follow alone, why did she go too?

"Ms. Zhu, does the young master’s jade pendant have any background?" Miss Lu couldn’t help asking.

"You asked the right question. It’s not about whether it has a background, but it has a big one... heh heh heh." Zhu Pingniang said somewhat enviously: "I don’t know what luck Chang’an stumbled upon, at the time even Lingyu hadn’t been decided... yet he caught her eye, tsk."

Speaking of this, Zhu Pingniang paused, looked at Wen Li who had been silent all along.

"Ah Li, do you know where Chang’an got his jade pendant from?"

"I don’t know." Wen Li opened her eyes and shook her head.

She naturally didn’t know the source of Xu Chang’an’s jade pendant.

"Not honest." Zhu Pingniang pouted, meaningfully saying: "You don’t know, but you can guess, right?"

"Yes, as you asked." Wen Li replied calmly.

Although she didn’t know the specifics of how her junior obtained the jade pendant, she already knew who its original owner was.

The reason was simple.

No one knew better than Wen Li how influential Zhu Pingniang and Li Zhibai were in the cultivation world, and in the world there was only one person who could make Zhu Pingniang reveal such an expression, and make Li Zhibai so nervous...

The Sect Leader.

That jade pendant was given to her junior by the Sect Leader.

"You’re always so smart, it’s not surprising you could guess." Zhu Pingniang stretched lazily: "You don’t look surprised, but that’s the Frosty Heaven of Qingzhou."

"Because it’s my junior." Wen Li said calmly.

"Your words are like what Yun Qian would say." Zhu Pingniang clicked her tongue, then said: "But you could guess, so in the future when Chang’an understands his teacher’s status, he’ll naturally be able to deduce who gave the jade pendant."

Zhu Pingniang smiled happily.

Actually, the favor is real, because this seemingly ordinary glazed jade can only be recognized by very few, yet precisely, in the current cultivation world, those who could identify the glazed jade at Xu Chang’an’s waist are the ones standing at the summit.

This jade pendant represents the hardest backing in the world today. Even if several Sect Leaders see it, they will treat him as an equal, and maybe even... bow their heads slightly.

It’s not that they lack ambition; it’s because Shi Qingjun’s existence is not on the same level as theirs. They seem to have reached the peak, but when facing the Immortal Chaoyun, they are like mortals gazing up at the dazzling galaxy of stars.

Haven’t you seen even a single hairpin of Shi Qingjun can cause a scramble among the masses, let alone a jade pendant tinged with her aura.

Therefore, Xu Chang’an’s future status will be quite intriguing.

Zhu Pingniang wondered whether Li Zhibai realized that it would not be her, this Hidden Immortal, pushing Xu Chang’an into the limelight in the future, but indeed the Sect Leader herself.

Because you cannot determine whether the Sect Leader intends to take Chang’an as a disciple, considering that apart from Zhu Tongjun, he is the only one to receive such an opportunity from her, so this sudden appearance of Xu Chang’an is truly thought-provoking.

"I really want to see what kind of expression Chang’an will have when he finds out he’s valued by someone whom everyone regards as a deity... he always thought his talent was poor." Zhu Pingniang smiled with her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Wen Li’s eyelashes trembled slightly, yet she remained silent.

She believed her junior wouldn’t care about these things.
