Chapter 1052 - 577: Mother and Daughter (Double-Length)

Because you can’t be sure whether the Sect Leader intends to take Chang’an as a disciple. After all, apart from Zhu Tongjun, no one else had ever received an opportunity from her. So the sudden appearance of Xu Chang’an is very thought-provoking.

"I really want to see what kind of expression Chang’an will have when he finds out that someone whom everyone considers like an Immortal God has taken notice of him... He has always thought he wasn’t talented." Zhu Pingniang smiled.

Upon hearing this, Wen Li’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said nothing.

She felt that her junior brother wouldn’t care about these things.

Li Zhibai actually thought about the Sect Leader Glazed Jade matter. Unlike Zhu Pingniang’s perspective, in her mind, Shi Qingjun giving Xu Chang’an a jade pendant wasn’t a big deal. At least, it wasn’t enough to make the top figures of the cultivation realm genuinely focus on him.

Li Zhibai had already touched the threshold of the Qiankun Realm, so she was very clear that beyond this realm, ’karma’ and ’causality’ are no longer empty concepts. If the Sect Leader really wanted to form a fate with Xu Chang’an, the means wouldn’t be just a jade pendant, but something more solid.

For instance... taking him to a certain event.

Only by doing so can it be proved that Xu Chang’an is truly special in Shi Qingjun’s heart. Only then can people sincerely believe that the most formidable woman in this world supports Xu Chang’an, and that he has always been under the Sect Leader’s watchful eye, thereby treating him with due respect.

But in fact, Shi Qingjun merely dropped a jade pendant and left it at that, so... Li Zhibai never really thought the Sect Leader cared about Xu Chang’an.

The same goes for Ah Qing.

Ah Qing recognized the aura on the jade pendant at Xu Chang’an’s waist, but she still felt that Xu Chang’an hadn’t gained Shi Qingjun’s favor for the same reason—the karma line wasn’t solid enough.

So compared to Ah Qing, she gave Xu Chang’an a top position under her in the Holy Sect, which was the true testament of concern.

But what they didn’t know was that Zhu Pingniang’s thoughts were the right ones.

The understanding of karma close to the Qiankun complete state, how does it have anything to do with those sect leaders below?

They don’t understand what karma means; they only see the reclusive Shi Qingjun giving Xu Chang’an a jade pendant carrying her aura. What more reasoning is needed?

Thus, under the heavens, it’s not the high cultivation people whose thoughts are correct... Zhu Pingniang had it right, truly bringing Xu Chang’an into everyone’s view wouldn’t be Li Zhibai, a Hidden Immortal, but that True Immortal above.

——

Li Zhibai walked outside and, upon seeing Xu Chang’an, waved her hand to erect a barrier that enveloped both herself and Xu Chang’an.

What needed to be said next could not be seen or heard by anyone else.

"Sir? This is..." Xu Chang’an, seeing Li Zhibai’s furrowed brows, was puzzled.

"...Wait a moment, let me think about how to say it." Li Zhibai took a deep breath.

She had realized that Xu Chang’an had noticed the presence of the Sect Leader, so she timely stopped Xu Chang’an from exposing that the Sect Leader was currently at Flower Moon Building.

There were a few things she didn’t understand.

"Chang’an, how did you know... who gave you this jade pendant?" Li Zhibai looked at him.

"I know quite a few of the senior sisters from Muyu Peak." Xu Chang’an thought for a moment: "Back then, Senior Fu gave me the jade pendant, and by her side, there were no similar girls."

"...?" Li Zhibai was momentarily confused, then looked at him in surprise after a while: "You recognize the girls from Muyu Peak?"

There are so many girls, even Zhu Pingniang might not remember them all.

"..." Xu Chang’an blinked, but still honestly admitted: "Sort of?"

He hadn’t met many of the girls, but since he worked in the Steward Hall and had a great relationship with Steward Fang, he had practically gone through all the records about the girls.

"Why?" Li Zhibai did not think that Xu Chang’an would be interested in these girls.

"Ms. Yun will go up the mountain in the future." Xu Chang’an said.

"...Oh."

Li Zhibai suddenly understood.

Chang’an’s protectiveness toward Yun Qian had reached the point where he had to be aware of which girls she might come in contact with in the future?

"Ms. Yun is not someone who can be easily deceived." Li Zhibai reminded him.

Xu Chang’an nodded, smiling: "I know, especially with you watching now, I feel at ease."

"You... oh, nevermind." Li Zhibai shook her head: "And another thing, she’s not from Muyu Peak, do you know who she is?"

"There are indeed not many seniors who show goodwill towards me." Xu Chang’an explained.

Really not many.

Eliminating Muyu Peak leaves only one, a woman in a red robe with an embroidery seal from Muyu Peak, yet unseen on the mountain.

"Are you really so disliked?" Li Zhibai was taken aback, then remembered something: "Aren’t there people from Hundred Herbs Garden who like you, can’t it be them?"

"Sir, the one who passed the jade pendant to me was Senior Fu."

"...That’s right." Li Zhibai had nothing more to say.

That girl Ah Fu was a female cultivator with a water attribute, but her temperament was anything but gentle. Back when there were conflicts with Hundred Herbs Garden, she made the most trouble, and she knew about this because Ah Fu was paying attention to Xu Chang’an.

Ah Fu couldn’t possibly work for Hundred Herbs Garden.

So, through these, Chang’an locked onto the Sect Leader?

What kind of thought process does this child have?

"What made you think she’s from Muyu Peak?" Li Zhibai asked.

"Embroidery pattern." Xu Chang’an said.
