At this moment, Xu Chang’an did not know that there was another woman living in Wen Li’s house.
The woman in white looked through the window at the troublesome person outside.
Li Zhibai of the Sword Hall disliked troubles, yet she herself was a major trouble.
Li Zhibai’s student was an even bigger trouble than she was.
The woman in white lowered her head, looking at Wen Li’s casual handwriting on the table, tinged with a trace of feminine elegance.
For now, the only person in the world who can make Wen Li care, might just be this child... It’s quite strange, knowing that when Wen Li was close to Xu Chang’an, he didn’t possess such a messy array of talents.
Indeed, Xu Chang’an brought about great changes in Wen Li, but now this mirror started influencing Wen Li’s cultivation earlier than she expected—something she never anticipated.
This has nothing to do with Wen Li caring about women’s romantic affairs.
Essentially, it’s still related to the Demon Race’s bloodline, Xu Chang’an is merely a catalyst.
Originally, she advised Wen Li not to overly intervene in Xu Chang’an’s matters... but now it’s too late.
Thinking about it, she "used" him as a mirror to boost her cultivation, wanting to escape early now, things in this world aren’t that simple.
The woman in white shook her head, thinking she couldn’t help her apprentice in this matter, she could only let her choose what to do herself.
She listened to Xu Chang’an’s gentle voice outside, walked over and lifted the half-finished painting without a face, thinking her apprentice has now encountered the biggest hurdle in her life so far, possibly the biggest in her entire life.
Qi Cultivation, Open Source, Mingxin.
With Wen Li’s talent, once she overcomes this hurdle, the future is a wide road leading straight to the heavens.
This hurdle is really simple, simple enough that anyone could easily smooth it out.
Affection, or perhaps a first love?
Such matters are things any girl on Muyu Peak can laugh off.
Except, her Ah Li doesn’t use rouge.
Maybe, she should have taken Wen Li to a brothel in Beisang City for a few days, to learn about rouge and observe the local women’s conduct.
The woman in white gritted her teeth, hearing the clacking sound, as if she envisioned a woman dressed lavishly, wearing a soft makeup, with seductive eyes leaning against a wall, casting a triumphant glance at her.
Though unwilling to admit, Zhu Tongjun, that self-indulgent woman soaked in every corner with the brothel atmosphere... her idea was correct.
On Muyu Peak, the mental realm is indeed more important than talent.
This is why Zhu Tongjun has only now sent Liu Qingluo up the mountain.
"Aren’t you going outside? I left a strand of spiritual power on you."
"Spiritual Power? Like the Rouge Spiritual Qi kind?"
Senior sister doesn’t use rouge.
Xu Chang’an certainly knew this, yet he stared at Wen Li in some surprise.
Leaving a strand of spiritual power on him to prevent gossip from spreading when he goes out?
This makes sense, given Wen Li’s exceedingly high popularity.
Is senior sister the type to care about such small matters?
Xu Chang’an instinctively found it odd; such "petty" behavior clearly doesn’t seem like the open-minded senior sister he knows would do.
As for him, gossip is a common occurrence when he goes out, since as long as Miss Yun isn’t by his side, he doesn’t care how people talk.
However, since Wen Li said it, he had no reason to resist, thanked Wen Li, and hurried off with his medicine box.
He merely assumed senior sister is refining heart, not thinking too much about it.
Watching Xu Chang’an leave, Wen Li let go of the tabby cat that wanted to follow the boy, standing dumbly in place.
This strand of spiritual power won’t remain on Xu Chang’an for long, she will only leave Sword Qi on him this one time, the purpose is quite simple, just so Chaoyun Sect eyesores will know the junior brother is under her protection.
She merely thought about it... and so just did it.
Should be, should be right.
Junior brother won’t find her strange, right.
Would junior brother care about being gossiped?
Wen Li knew this very well.
If he doesn’t care, why did she do it.
So-called refining heart began long ago.
The tabby cat originally wanted to chase Xu Chang’an out to play, but seeing Wen Li standing foolishly, it paused for a moment, then lay down beside her feet, resting, going nowhere.
Wen Li is pondering over something; she’s finding a reason to explain her actions.
Starting from Muyu Peak.
There weren’t any new disciples on Muyu Peak, coupled with its group of peculiar heart-cultivating girls, women here have all sorts of qualities, plus one distinct trait.
The shortest of them is undoubtedly Xu Chang’an, given his brief time on the mountain and his need for protection.
Once, when a few girls past the Hundred Herbs Garden "coveted" and "entangled" Xu Chang’an, a group went and caused a fuss, so much so that the relationship between the Hundred Herbs Garden and Muyu Peak has since remained unsoftened.
According to the Steward Hall, it was the Hundred Herbs Garden breaking the rules first; bribery is one thing, but wanting to force their junior brother to farm the land is just asking for trouble.
