CHAPTER 245: 0165 THE SO-CALLED ZHIBAI (TWO-IN-ONE)_3

Lowering his head, Xu Chang’an glanced at the Glazed Jade at his waist.

Is it because he was valued by the Senior of Muyu Peak that the resulting master-disciple relationship made things difficult for the teacher?

Indeed, his future master hasn’t been decided yet, but he’s gained a teacher now, and the title of true teacher was only recognized after that Senior gave him the Glazed Jade.

Based on Li Zhibai’s personality, she surely wouldn’t snatch someone away.

Is that why she transferred this master-disciple fate to Yun Qian?

In this way, even if he becomes someone else’s disciple in the future, his relationship with the teacher won’t become distant.

Xu Chang’an’s mind is meticulous, able to think of many things at once.

"I’ve made things difficult for you, Teacher."

Li Zhibai was pondering when she suddenly saw Xu Chang’an stand upright and bow to her.

"What are you doing?" Li Zhibai was startled.

Xu Chang’an took off the Glazed Jade at his waist and placed it aside, seriously saying, "Chang’an wishes to take you as my master."

"?"

Li Zhibai was momentarily confused by Xu Chang’an’s abrupt actions. Then, she gently sighed and returned the Glazed Jade to Xu Chang’an’s hand.

This Jade was given by the Sect Leader.

However, upon careful thought, she understood Xu Chang’an’s intention. Though helpless, her eyes held a trace of a smile.

She liked this child and was willing to break the rules to act as his teacher for a reason.

"As for the matter of a master... let’s discuss it later. My path might not be suitable for you." Li Zhibai casually refused Xu Chang’an’s request to become her disciple, then beckoned to him.

"Guess what I’ve written." Li Zhibai thought her intention was simple. Xu Chang’an was like a blank sheet, and now, as his teacher, she’s left a mark on it... not knowing if it is good or bad.

Xu Chang’an wasn’t surprised by the refusal. He walked over and looked at the ink stroke above, guessed and said, "This is... Dao? If you wrote it, then it’s your Dao."

A stroke of ink, is it not the "Dao."

Such words from someone in the Open Source Realm come across as somewhat ridiculous.

Li Zhibai looked at Xu Chang’an feigning understanding with amusement, though she restrained herself because Xu Chang’an made valid points.

The meaning of Dao encompasses much, but no matter how one comprehends this word, it is always precarious.

The Heavenly Dao is distant, ever-changing, Li Zhibai understood the truth of knowing but unable to speak, and the importance of speaking but unable to act.

Thinking of this, she, in Xu Chang’an’s surprised gaze, picked up the inkstone and splashed the ink entirely onto the paper, gazing at the ink swirling, completely merging with her drawn "Dao," becoming thoroughly black, and irredeemable.

After the paper turned completely black, Li Zhibai picked up her brush once again and drew on the paper, making it indistinguishable.

She once thought Xu Chang’an was a blank paper, but it turned out he was not.

"Since you are not a blank paper, it doesn’t matter what I draw on it," Li Zhibai smiled, "Natural Daoist Laws, I should be more natural."

In all her cultivation, her mindset is still less than that of Miss Yun.

No matter Xu Chang’an’s identity, he is her student, and she can teach what she desires.

Actually, her strange behavior was due to discovering Xu Chang’an’s identity, and hesitating whether to teach... she initially wanted to teach.

Now, she has understood.

Unnoticed, after confirming Xu Chang’an’s mysterious identity, her hesitation shattered cleanly.

No longer caring, she decided to teach Xu Chang’an the cultivation technique regarding ’Yin Yang Dual Cultivation’ for couples, and no one could stop her.
