CHAPTER 254: 0170 DISCOVERED AN INCREDIBLE SECRET (TWO-IN-ONE)

Yun Qian sat quietly there, the beautiful rouge on her lips had been ruined a lot, and she pressed a hand to the corner of her mouth, gently sighing.

She too was not a clever person.

Just now, she rejected Xu Chang’an’s request for affection, yet forgot... even if he ruined the rouge, it wouldn’t delay going back to Celestial Bright Peak for him to admire.

Couldn’t she just have Miss Li touch up her makeup before leaving?

Oh.

Now she ought to call her Ms. Li.

To make her willingly call her sister, Li Zhibai must be a very remarkable person.

Yun Qian stretched lazily, leaning her head against the door frame, her gaze slowly falling in the direction of Beisang City.

Brothel?

She had lived alone in Beisang City for so long, what dealings hadn’t she seen?

She didn’t mind, but Li Zhibai and Xu Chang’an seemed to care a lot; what Yun Qian found interesting was... the change in Li Zhibai.

She had transformed from a serious and old-fashioned person to much more lively, with a tint of a young girl’s aura.

Li Zhibai believed it was Yun Qian who brought about this change, a refining of heart.

Yun Qian did not think so; the elder sister was initially her husband’s "destined" person, meant for her own transformation, only Li Zhibai’s affection... transferred to her.

Yun Qian inexplicably remembered the girl she saw in Beisang City who rowed the boat.

"Hmm..."

She blinked much faster; according to books, this kind of feeling should be called love at first sight?

But why was the target herself and not her husband?

This is odd.

Something must be wrong.

Yun Qian naturally knew well that Li Zhibai’s emotions came from herself and were not influenced by "heaven".

Yun Qian pinched the Fire Stone in her hand and put it into her mouth to gently bite.

Could it be... she was indeed as her husband said, really "charming"?

Her thoughts gradually calmed down.

Not Miss Guan Yun’s business.

In the room, after speaking to Xu Chang’an about some details of visiting Zhu Pingniang in Beisang City, Li Zhibai was ready to send him back.

Although Xu Chang’an already had a method to resolve Yun Qian’s Elixir Field problem, his brows still were shrouded in some oppression.

This gloom should only dissipate after Yun Qian truly opens her Qi Sea.

He respectfully made a bow, prepared to leave after bidding Li Zhibai farewell.

As he turned around, Li Zhibai looked out at the rain and suddenly remembered something.

"Chang’an, stop."

Xu Chang’an halted his steps and replied as he turned back, "Teacher?"

In Xu Chang’an’s surprised gaze, Li Zhibai retrieved a beautifully black-and-white intertwined umbrella and handed it to him, explaining resignedly under his confused gaze, "Chang’an, when you go out from now on, don’t use Spiritual Power to shelter from the rain anymore, remember to use an umbrella."

"Use an umbrella?" Xu Chang’an looked at the black-and-white umbrella in his hand, momentarily not comprehending.

"Teacher, although I haven’t selected an open source cultivation technique yet, I still know some ways to manipulate Spiritual Power," Xu Chang’an said seriously, "I naturally have a water attribute talent, using a Spiritual Barrier to block rain doesn’t consume much Spiritual Power."

Rather, since opening source, his Spiritual Power had coalesced into liquid, so far not having been exhausted once, and with an extremely swift recovery speed.

A complex expression appeared in Xu Chang’an’s eyes, recalling the Jade Flower transforming from an entire "Milky Way Galaxy" slowly flying into his body.

It should be said, worthy of such level of mystery sparking his talent.

A cause for... fear.

Li Zhibai wouldn’t know what Xu Chang’an was thinking, gently said, "I naturally know you don’t consume much Spiritual Power blocking rain... it’s just..."

She hesitated.

Originally, she did not want to ask about this matter, but decided to clarify it with Xu Chang’an, since if he continued like this, sooner or later someone would see him using Spiritual Qi to block rain.

Li Zhibai waved her sleeve, with her gesture the window opened, the wind immediately blew into the room, ruffling Xu Chang’an’s hair.

She used a technique Xu Chang’an could understand to gather an indestructible Spiritual Barrier.

"Go."

Li Zhibai cast her Spiritual Power outward through the window.

Instantly, dense True Yuan fluctuations spread out, the barrier unfolding outside the window swiftly encompassed the entire Sword Hall.

Xu Chang’an watched Li Zhibai’s actions, not surprised at her skill in magic, since he never saw Li Zhibai as an ordinary person.

However, the upcoming scene made Xu Chang’an clench his fists involuntarily, pitch-black eyes shrinking to a point.

"Splash..."

Rain showered from the sky, treating the barrier as if it were nothing, hitting the windowsill and the splattered droplets landed on Xu Chang’an’s brow, causing his face to feel cold.

"Teacher... this is..." Xu Chang’an snapped out of it, after meeting Li Zhibai’s gaze, walked to the window, supporting himself with his sparse Spiritual Qi, watching the raindrops seemingly crash onto steel, sighing.

"Know why I ended up soaking wet while practicing sword just now?" Li Zhibai looked oddly at Xu Chang’an, slowly recounting these matters to him.

"..."

Before long, Xu Chang’an’s eyelids couldn’t help twitching a few times.

He did not expect Li Zhibai’s words were more outlandish than he thought.

She couldn’t block rain, in fact so far... apart from that mysterious Sect Leader of Chaoyun, including the Mountain Protection Array, none of the Spiritual Power could handle the falling rain from the sky.

His Spiritual Qi could actually block such rain?

"Teacher, isn’t this just ordinary rainwater?" Xu Chang’an couldn’t help but say.
