My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 643 - 0372 Discover that the people around you are actually amazing (two-in-one)_2

Zhu Pingniang looked at the silent Xu Chang’an, her brows slightly furrowing, and said with suspicion:

"Chang’an, let’s get this out of the way first; I really don’t like those people from the Profound Mirror Bureau. I don’t expect you to curse them with me, but... don’t get too close to them."

Especially that old geezer.

I have no idea how he has the gall to call Ah Bai "sister."

Zhu Pingniang felt a surge of anger just thinking about the Sect Leader of the Profound Sword Bureau’s middle-aged man face.

She forgot that she was about the same age as the Sect Leader.

"I... I know." Xu Chang’an held his head with one hand, feeling helpless, but he had to accept the fact of Li Zhibai’s high status.

"There."

Seeing Xu Chang’an had accepted it, Zhu Pingniang leaned over and asked curiously, "Chang’an, what’s it like to suddenly realize the people around you are really amazing?"

She really wanted to know.

To prepare for the day she reveals her identity in front of the Flower Moon Building ladies.

From Xu Chang’an, maybe she could foresee what it would be like when those girls realize she’s not from a fallen sect, but someone comparable to the leaders of major sects...

"Will they be scared? Or angry that she lied to you?" Zhu Pingniang couldn’t help but ask.

"..." Xu Chang’an thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Now that I think about it, a teacher like her is naturally a remarkable person."

After the shock, there’s really no particular feeling.

"Tch." Zhu Pingniang curled her lips: "Even though I like what you said, that Ah Bai should be amazing, your reaction is really... boring."

She stood up and patted Xu Chang’an’s shoulder: "Because of Ah Bai’s status, those who entered the Sword Hall for her guidance weren’t considered students, just given a few pointers before being sent away."

Including Wen Li, who was also given advice by Li Zhibai.

"But you’re different; you’re the only one who left and could still enter the Sword Hall, so... she acknowledges you as her student, the only one for now." Zhu Pingniang tilted her head: "Hey, Chang’an, your status might be higher than you think."

"???

Xu Chang’an was dumbfounded, several question marks popping up in his mind.

Can’t be.

Listening to Zhu Pingniang, Xu Chang’an didn’t feel any joy, but rather sensed a hint of trouble looming.

"Don’t look at me like that." Zhu Pingniang spread her hands: "Chang’an, strive to become her disciple, not just a student."

If Li Zhibai does take a disciple, it would undoubtedly stir up a grand occasion in the cultivation realm. Though she’s quiet now, no one truly forgets her.

Speaking of which, Li Zhibai has a very high eye for talent.

Even Wen Li didn’t catch her eye back then.

"Yet you picked up a bargain." Zhu Pingniang grumbled, then added, "Enough chit-chat. I’m just letting you know, Ah Bai likes you, so you’re protected... Don’t be timid, just do what you want without fearing who you might offend or worrying if they have connections because your backing is the strongest."

"..."

Xu Chang’an inexplicably detected a bit of incitement in Zhu Pingniang’s tone, and found it odd: "Do I look like someone who stirs up trouble?"

"You should stir up trouble."

"?"

"Humph, silly boy."

Zhu Pingniang glanced at Xu Chang’an, then remarked, "Ah Bai hasn’t been active for a long time. It seems Qing Province has forgotten her, with only people still using her name... dreaming."

But Li Zhibai, like Xu Chang’an, isn’t one to cause trouble...

So to get Li Zhibai to proactively deal with others...

Seems it would require standing up for the younger generation?

"Chang’an, if someone bullies you, Ah Bai will have to stand up for you... So go get bullied a bit, won’t you?"

Zhu Pingniang’s eyes sparkled, as if she already fantasized about Li Zhibai’s majestic display.

"Consider it a request from your sister."

Listening to Zhu Pingniang, Xu Chang’an’s eye twitched a few times, as he silently moved back to distance himself from her.

This Senior Zhu... seems to be not very smart right now.

"Humph." Even Zhu Pingniang realized her imprudence: "If only you had seen your teacher back in the day, otherwise... you surely could understand me."

Young Li Zhibai, like now, wasn’t showy but her status and power couldn’t be ignored.

The one time Li Zhibai led a demon eradication, Zhu Tongjun, amidst the crowd as a young girl, took notice.

At that time, she aspired to become a woman of Li Zhibai’s prowess... Who would’ve thought, turning around, the relationship is what it is now.

Perhaps, women wish their beloved would shine brightly.

"Thus, all sis’s hopes rest on you." Zhu Pingniang seriously said: "Chang’an, go stir up some trouble."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

At this moment, he couldn’t find the words or expression to respond to this not-quite-right elder.

Who encourages others to cause trouble?

Yet, just then, Xu Chang’an remembered something.

"Ms. Zhu."

"Hmm?"

"Regarding the Profound Sword Bureau, there’s something I want to ask you."

"You? The Profound Sword Bureau?"

Zhu Pingniang looked at Xu Chang’an dumbfounded, quite surprised: "What encounter do you have with the Profound Sword Bureau?"

She wasn’t expecting such words from Xu Chang’an.

Could it be he was bullied for real?

Zhu Pingniang got excited instantly.

If someone from the Profound Sword Bureau dared to bully Ah Bai’s student, it would indeed be quite the show.

Like someone bearing the bureau’s name going rampant but fainting upon Li Zhibai’s name being mentioned.

After arriving at the Flower Moon Building, she loved seeing people get face-slapped.

Yes, many cultivators trying to make trouble at the Flower Moon Building end up similarly.

"Quick, tell me, tell me." Zhu Pingniang leaned back in her chair, popped a sweet into her mouth, eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"You... never mind." Xu Chang’an sighed and then asked: "Senior Sikong, what’s he like?"

"Senior Brother?"

Zhu Pingniang blinked, her expression odd: "Chang’an, Sikong Lixu might be Ah Bai’s junior, but calling him ’senior brother’... isn’t it a bit inappropriate?"

Xu Chang’an: "?"

Zhu Pingniang: "?"

After a brief silence, Zhu Pingniang finally realized: "Which Sikong Senior Brother are you referring to?"

"Sikong Jing, Senior Sikong... who else could it be?" Xu Chang’an sighed.

"Oh, sis thought you meant that old man Lixu. I said you can’t call him ’senior brother’..." Zhu Pingniang swallowed the sweet she was eating: "I lost track."

Indeed, when it comes to Sikong, her focus just went to Sikong Lixu.

With Xu Chang’an being rather mysterious and her considering herself akin to his elder sister, she momentarily thought of contemporary peers.

Regarding juniors... she just didn’t think in that direction initially.

"Sikong Jing, what about him?" Zhu Pingniang recalled Xu Chang’an’s mention: "He passed by when coming up the mountain recently, well-mannered, unlike his dad, just a little silly."

Zhu Pingniang almost burst into laughter thinking of Sikong Jing wandering around with money wanting to liberate young girls without seeking repayment.

Indeed, worthy of being acknowledged by an immortal sword.

But his dad certainly set him up for failure.

Actually proposing at Muyu Peak.

This almost wiped out any goodwill she had for the Profound Sword Bureau.

Sikong Jing has potential, but is he worthy of the lofty bride of Muyu Peak?

Clearly unworthy.

Zhu Pingniang came back to her senses and said to Xu Chang’an: "Overall, a good kid, but because of personal reasons and the grudge between Hehuan Bell and Immortal Sword, I don’t quite like him, nor do I support the girls associating with him... hmm, why are you asking about him?"

Hearing this, Xu Chang’an thought this Senior Brother was indeed still a commendable person... yet he was even more perplexed.

What could he want from him?

"Why do you have that expression?" Zhu Pingniang blinked, then exclaimed excitedly: "Did he cause trouble for you? Ah, did he bully you!"

Xu Chang’an: "?"

What was she getting excited about?
