CHAPTER 110: 090 WHO IS THE VILLAIN

In such a scene, it was naturally inappropriate for Xu Chang’an to suddenly mention another woman.

But as an old married couple bathing together, there was no big deal about it, so Xu Chang’an naturally started discussing serious matters.

After all, Wen Li is Yun Qian’s guide, so he obviously wanted to know Yun Qian’s attitude towards Wen Li.

"She is someone with good judgment," Yun Qian said casually.

"Good judgment? What do you mean?" Xu Chang’an was taken aback.

"She said your handwriting is pretty, isn’t that good judgment?" Yun Qian showed a matter-of-fact expression.

"Senior Sister’s polite words, Miss, don’t take it to heart." Xu Chang’an expressed helplessness; Yun Qian had not seen the writing of other girls at Muyu Peak, saying this to him was fine, but if others heard it, they might think Miss Yun was inexperienced.

However, Xu Chang’an felt that Yun Qian’s attitude towards Wen Li was already better than others, which ought to be a good thing.

Yun Qian looked at the thoughtful Xu Chang’an and said, "What do you want to say? Just say it."

Xu Chang’an introduced Wen Li to Yun Qian, saying, "Senior Sister is recognized as the Senior at Disciple Peak, ranked within the top five in cultivation in the Mingxin Chart of the Chaoyun Sect, so she is very powerful. Last year, she even killed an Evil Cultivator a realm higher than her own. Do you know what an Evil Cultivator is, Miss?"

"I don’t know."

"It’s an evil person."

"An evil person?"

Yun Qian squinted her eyes slightly.

"This world is not stable." Xu Chang’an took a deep breath and said, "In Qing Province, there’s not only Chaoyun but also the Demon Sect, acting ruthlessly, killing at will, refining heart with flesh and blood, mostly Evil Cultivators."

Yun Qian nodded, indicating she understood, then she asked, "Are you afraid of them?"

Yun Qian felt Xu Chang’an was not a timid person and shouldn’t be afraid of any evil person, given how much he liked her.

"Of course, I’m afraid." Xu Chang’an said seriously.

He was afraid, very afraid.

If he died, what would happen to Miss Yun?

"But that’s not the point." Xu Chang’an looked at Yun Qian helplessly and said, "The world is not stable, so one must work hard on cultivation. Senior Wen is the best guide. Even considering having Miss join Muyu Peak in the future, it’s worth following Senior Sister and cultivating well."

The key is, Wen Li is not only proficient in swordsmanship, she is suitable in every aspect.

"Are you praising her?" Yun Qian lightly lifted the hair by her ear and asked, "I should... what should I say?"

"I mean, Senior Sister is very powerful, you will definitely learn many useful things following her," Xu Chang’an said frankly. "Whether Miss cares for Senior Sister or not, you should earnestly learn. Although as the saying goes, a teacher opens the door and cultivation depends on the individual, the teacher is also very important."

"I understand." Yun Qian picked up a Spirit Fruit, took a bite, and said, "Just like when I taught you to write, I just need to learn some fundamentals from her and self-study the rest."

"Miss is not my teacher." Xu Chang’an reminded her.

"I am your wife." Yun Qian nodded, her gaze calm, and said, "Are those evil people... very dangerous?"

She was somewhat concerned.

"Miss is scared?" Xu Chang’an was surprised, his Miss Yun still knew fear.

"I’m not afraid." Yun Qian said.

"Well, it’s nothing to be afraid of; at least around Chaoyun Sect, it’s stable. So far, the entire Chaoyun still outmatches the Demon Sect, but further from Chaoyun, it’s uncertain." Xu Chang’an shook his head.

In this world, there are not only demons, but also numerous evil doers within the human race.

Their purposes vary, and their methods differ vastly, but they share one commonality: the sins they commit can’t be adequately described with words.

Exhaust the bamboo of South Mountain, write sins endlessly; drain the waves of East Sea, evil flows ceaselessly.

Xu Chang’an learned about too many evil deeds done by the Demon Sect at Steward Hall, which is why he values cultivation so much... hence his reluctance to return to the island with Yun Qian, a place only a few days’ sail away, not truly safe.

"So there’s danger." Yun Qian’s eyes brightened slightly, but upon hearing there was no danger at Chaoyun Sect, she blinked.

Yun Qian fears nothing more than danger; after all, if there were no danger, her desire for Xu Chang’an to protect her wouldn’t be fulfilled.

Just after coming up the mountain... Yun Qian already wanted to go back down.

"When can I go down the mountain with you?" Yun Qian asked.

"?"

Xu Chang’an frowned upon hearing this; he couldn’t fully grasp Miss Yun’s thoughts.

Is she muddled from sleep?

Xu Chang’an gently held Yun Qian’s hand, squeezing the tiger’s mouth of her palm, dispelling some of Yun Qian’s drowsiness, and then said, "The rules of the sect state at least the Qi Refining Realm is needed to accept simple tasks, and then... I will go down the mountain to cultivate with Miss."

He would naturally accompany Yun Qian closely in her cultivation, so in fact, Xu Chang’an is Yun Qian’s real guide.

"That Senior Wen, I will pay attention." Yun Qian thought, for the sake of going down the mountain, she will try to regard Wen Li as a person.

"That’s what I mean." Xu Chang’an covered his face.

All along, he had been emphasizing the importance of cultivation with Yun Qian, but in fact, Wen Li is also very important, offending this Senior Sister... fearing living in the Chaoyun Sect would not be easy.

However, Xu Chang’an found that Yun Qian’s attitude towards Wen Li was actually quite good, thus temporarily easing his anxiety.

"By the way, don’t worry too much about cultivation, Miss. If you don’t understand anything, I will come over to teach you." Xu Chang’an said.

Things like meridians, circulation, and medicinal baths; later he would have more to keep him busy.

For some intimate matters, they can’t let Wen Li handle them, it still requires him personally.

"You mean to say, you will come in the future again." Yun Qian looked at him calmly, "Is this a new excuse to stay by my side?"

"You really know how to grasp the key points."

"So, is it?"

"Yes."

"Don’t you have any proper matters to attend to?" Yun Qian backed herself to Xu Chang’an, letting him wash her hair, and then said, "The book says a worthy wife should not delay a man on proper matters."

"The soup in the kitchen, Miss here is also soup, I have to choose one, right?" Xu Chang’an spread his hands.

Cultivation is proper affairs.

But Yun Qian’s cultivation is even more proper affairs.

"Besides, I will try to not affect my own cultivation rhythm, Miss needs not worry about me." Xu Chang’an chuckled.

"I’m not worried about you." Yun Qian lifted her head, feeling the warm water over her face, said calmly, "I’m worried about myself."

She is worried about affecting her "virtuous wife" path of cultivation, nothing to do with Xu Chang’an.

"...Alright." Xu Chang’an sighed. He wiped the water droplets off Yun Qian’s face with a silk, then took the Jade Dew Wine intended for Yun Qian and drank it in one gulp. With a rush of coolness, he felt all the stuffiness in his heart dissipate completely.

But when he raised his head, he saw Yun Qian staring at him intently.

"...Miss?"

"Why did you drink it yourself?"
