Chapter 646 - 0374 Wen Li and Liu Qingluo both need mirrors (2-in-1)
"Sikong Jing?"
She waved her hand:
"Looking for you, probably not for any serious business, maybe it’s because of that girl Wen Li."
"Senior Wen?" Xu Chang’an was puzzled, "What’s wrong with Senior?"
"Didn’t I tell you?"
Zhu Pingniang blinked, "The people from the Profound Sword Bureau proposed to Muyu Peak, to your Senior Wen."
"..."
Seeing Xu Chang’an’s shocked expression, Zhu Pingniang blinked, thinking she thought Xu Chang’an would have heard some rumors since he worked at Muyu Peak.
Unexpectedly, he knew nothing at all.
Whether it’s because he doesn’t care about Wen Li, or if the matter is considered taboo, so no one on the mountain mentions it.
And Sikong Lixu being chased away after proposing isn’t a glorious thing, so it wasn’t spread widely.
"Come back to your senses." Zhu Pingniang smacked the sugar glaze on her fingers, then said gleefully, "When the people from the Profound Sword Bureau proposed to Wen Li’s master, it really made her mad. Heh... if you ask me, she deserved it, who told that old woman to think about my Ah Bai."
Zhu Pingniang wore a wicked woman’s smile, "I think she’s angry simply because she was abandoned when she was young, so she can’t stand Wen’Er having a partner."
Xu Chang’an: "..."
Seeing Xu Chang’an’s gaze on her face, Zhu Pingniang finally restrained herself a bit, feeling slightly guilty:
"Alright, sister, I was joking. Actually, I’m also quite upset, after all, Wen Li is the senior sister of Muyu Peak, having her body promised to an outsider... What does that count for?"
After finishing, Zhu Pingniang wondered: "Chang’an, the people from the Profound Sword Bureau fancy Wen’Er, why are you reacting so much?"
"I... was just stunned for a moment." Xu Chang’an also came to his senses at this moment, showing embarrassment.
How should he say it?
Should he tell Zhu Pingniang that until she mentioned "proposal," he hadn’t realized that Senior Wen was actually a woman waiting to be married?
Indeed.
Even though Xu Chang’an frequently called "Senior Wen."
In reality, he really hadn’t viewed Wen Li as a woman.
To be honest, the Wen Li he held in his heart was too perfect, so perfect that Xu Chang’an felt Wen Li was truly deserving of the name "Wenliang," and with the way she always appeared more valiant than any man, and having a vast group of fangirls throughout the Chaoyun Sect, plus her jaw-dropping Sword Dao talent.
Luckily, lately Wen Li’s started wearing cloud epaulettes when she goes out, her long-time black short hair is being grown out, and she’s also started wearing skirts...
Only then could Xu Chang’an comprehend the fact that Wen Li is a woman.
Otherwise, even if Zhu Pingniang mentioned it, he’d probably need some time to react to what a womanly Wen Li might be.
After witnessing Wen Li wielding the White Sword Cyan Radiance, seeing that sword intent as heavy and sharp as mountains, people would react like him.
Such a senior sister... getting married?
Quit joking.
"I think I understand why Senior Su and the others have such a big issue with the Profound Sword Bureau." Xu Chang’an shook his head, his face full of odd expressions.
Given Senior Wen’s popularity, he would be worried that inviting Senior Wen to guide Miss Yun might interfere with her cultivation and invite trouble from those who admire her...
Now the Profound Sword Bureau wants to propose, surely that group of women who like Wen Li would explode on the spot.
"..."
Zhu Pingniang saw Xu Chang’an’s sentiment, blinking.
Although a little disappointed in Xu Chang’an’s attitude, Xu Chang’an really showed no reaction after hearing a proposal was made to "care about" his senior sister.
Really, he might not be a typical man.
Isn’t it said in books that men are possessive creatures?
Even if it’s not his... never mind, that’s just his nature.
Zhu Pingniang shook her head, "Chang’an, don’t think the Su’Er’s anger is meddling unnecessarily. In truth... what the Profound Sword Bureau did was inappropriate."
"Sikong Jing merely took up an Immortal Sword and was hyped as a Sword Dao revival figure, but when it comes to swords, you can’t bypass Wen’Er."
Xu Chang’an nodded in strong agreement upon hearing this.
Nowadays Sword Dao is on the decline, even having an Immortal Sword, the Profound Sword Bureau has early on completely abandoned Sword Dao to find another path... so in this age, when it comes to sword, it’s impossible to not mention the Chaoyun’s flower on the summit.
It’s safe to say that Muyu Peak has all its bad reputation, yet to this day the mixed reviews are balanced by Wen Li holding down the positive side.
Zhu Pingniang said, "So, they likely thought if they could form a marriage alliance, it would bring great benefits to Sikong Jing, and give Wen’Er a chance to encounter the Immortal Sword."
If this marriage alliance were to succeed, it would be a triple win—
Wen Li would have the opportunity to wield the Immortal Sword and comprehend the path of her predecessors.
Sikong Jing would gain the most suitable partner.
The Profound Sword Bureau would repair some relations with Li Zhibai.
The idea is good.
Zhu Pingniang shrugged, "But in truth, Wen Li’s Sword Heart today... doesn’t need the Immortal Sword anymore."
The original idea of the Profound Sword Bureau was good, but they underestimated Wen Li’s frightening talent and her years of growth.
The current Wen Li has already become an unseen mountain peak.
Sikong Jing in front of her is just a child.
Getting too close to such a Wen Li will only leave him injured.
The gap is too wide.
Staying too long before such a woman will gradually lose the meaning of holding a sword.
So, when the people from the Profound Sword Bureau realized Wen Li was no longer the fledgling maiden they had imagined, but someone who truly cultivated her own Sword Intent... they automatically gave up on the proposal.
