CHAPTER 271: 0178 A TEA PARTY THAT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A TEA PARTY (TWO-IN-ONE)_2

Is it about her?

Yes.

Although she really doesn’t want to admit it, she was truly called... silly by the newly recognized sister today.

Her dignity was completely gone.

The hazy thoughts in Li Zhibai’s mind dissipated instantly, and at this moment, she suddenly felt like finding a seam to crawl into.

"I’m not drunk." Li Zhibai still said, "I won’t get drunk."

With her constitution, even if she took the initiative... it’s impossible to be intoxicated by the wine.

At this moment, she realized what it means for people to become intoxicated by the atmosphere, not the wine itself.

In such an environment, sitting in front of such a girl, her memory was almost immediately pulled back to her teenage years... back then, she often attended tea parties with the sisters.

She would sit quietly to the side at the tea parties, drinking tea while watching the sisters play and have fun, play cards.

She was often called an unsophisticated, silly "girl" by them.

Now... she didn’t expect to rediscover that youthful feeling from Yun Qian.

Unfortunately, after all these years, the sisters in her memory have long lost their faces, leaving only vague silhouettes.

Washed and worn away by time, who knows if those sisters have gone through several cycles of reincarnation.

The bookworm who used to be unsophisticated became the Pill Master.

But she herself never realized how much she missed that beautiful, innocent time.

Li Zhibai always thought her Mental Realm was flawless until she encountered Yun Qian.

Li Zhibai’s hand slightly clenched the hem of her skirt, then she released it with a feeling of letting go.

"If I were drunk... how great that would be." She sighed.

Her Mental Realm is still far from perfect, she cannot, and should not break through to the Qiankun Realm here and now; she lacks the confidence to face the Thunder Tribulation and Heart Demon Tribulation at this level.

"If you want to get drunk, you can drink more wine," Yun Qian suggested.

"That would have to be Spirit Wine." Li Zhibai was thoughtful, she now understood why Spirit Wine is so sought after and hard to find even for a hefty price.

People like them from Immortal Sects, to buy a true drunkenness... the requirements for wine quality are indeed too high.

"Spirit Wine?" Yun Qian’s eyes moved; she thought of something else. She really wanted to drink the wine brewed with Xu Chang’an’s Spiritual Qi... but she couldn’t rush this matter, so she continued eating her preserves.

The preserves were made from raw materials cared for by Xu Chang’an, imbued with his presence; as Yun Qian ate them, a hint of an amorous hue appeared on her ears.

"..."

Li Zhibai revealed her desire to buy herself a drunken experience.

However, she felt she had embarrassed herself enough today, so she didn’t mind Yun Qian seeing more.

She looked at Yun Qian’s seemingly drunken blush and blinked.

Hmm?

This sister... what’s going on.

At this moment, Yun Qian’s eyelashes trembled slightly, her entire being like a crystal fruit, tempting one to take a bite.

Can one get drunk from eating preserves?

Li Zhibai sniffed and only then noticed... the fragrance in the room was a little too strong.

The smell of alcohol, the girl’s scent, and incense mingled unpleasantly, naturally making one’s head feel dizzy.

"It’s my fault, sister."

Li Zhibai stood up with Yun Qian’s confused gaze, took her hand, led her to the window, and gently pushed it open: "Sister, take a breath or two and calm down."

Raindrops splattered on the windowsill, landing on the faces of the two girls with the wind.

Xu Chang’an was right below, so Yun Qian’s face blushed a little more.

The cool breeze carried away the lingering fragrance; Li Zhibai looked toward the black and white umbrella in her courtyard and helplessly said, "This child... instead of staying inside, why is he running out in the rain?"

Child?

Listening to Li Zhibai address Xu Chang’an, Yun Qian said nothing.

At this moment, naturally, Xu Chang’an could also see the window open.

He quickly looked up, blinking with some confusion.

Did Miss Yun... drink wine? Why does she seem slightly drunk?

Li Zhibai looked at Xu Chang’an’s face and then turned to Yun Qian, remarking, "Turns out, he’s not a child anymore."

Although Xu Chang’an himself hasn’t noticed, the girls of Muyu Peak have all observed his changes. Ever since he reached Open Source, his entire being has become more elegant and handsome, just watching him from a distance is refreshing and pleasing.

So, if he really were a girl... with his gentle personality, he would undoubtedly cause a stir at Muyu Peak, or even the entire Chaoyun Sect, becoming the "Fairy" in everyone’s hearts.

But now, due to reputation and various reasons, his appearance has ironically become a burden to his name.

Li Zhibai stared at Yun Qian’s face and seriously said, "Sister and Chang’an really look like a couple."

"Really?" Yun Qian responded calmly.

Apparently unaffected, in reality, she felt a little better; looking at the rain, she thought even the rain seemed much more beautiful.

Li Zhibai praising her a hundred times wouldn’t compare to that one sentence of "you look like a couple."

Li Zhibai herself didn’t realize she could tread such a wide path.

"Indeed, they look quite like a couple."

Li Zhibai wasn’t lying; she half closed the window and returned to her seat with Yun Qian.

In theory, before Xu Chang’an reached Open Source, he was just a handsome youth, hardly a match for Yun Qian.

But now... both of them looked unbelievably good.

Once met, Golden Wind and Jade Dew surpass countless encounters in the world.

Among the girls of Muyu Peak, many have a fondness for pairing notable scions. Viewed this way, Yun Qian and Xu Chang’an are indeed a perfect match.

No pairing needed—they are already a couple.

Li Zhibai picked up her empty wine pot and chuckled, "Jade Dew Wine... Jade Dew Wine... Sister and he, this is truly Golden Wind and Jade Dew."

"Golden Wind and Jade Dew?"

To Li Zhibai’s surprise, Yun Qian gently took the wine pot from her hand, and seriously said, "I don’t like this phrase. I am not Jade Dew, and he is not Golden Wind."

Yun Qian’s sudden seriousness and the words "I don’t like it" widened Li Zhibai’s eyes.

Did she... say something wrong?

Li Zhibai quickly came to her senses.

Indeed.

The original meaning of the phrase "Golden Wind and Jade Dew" is about the brief encounter of autumn wind and white dew, though fleeting, it surpasses all the world’s couples who live together yet are estranged at heart.

Yun Qian and Xu Chang’an care for each other this much.

Xu Chang’an doesn’t even care about cultivation just to stay by her side... this isn’t a once-a-year meeting.

"It was my mistake, Sister, I apologize." Li Zhibai apologized to Yun Qian, then gently held her hand, her demeanor warm.

After Li Zhibai’s apology, Yun Qian accepted it.

Li Zhibai’s eyes carried a hint of amusement.

She hadn’t expected that this sister would also have such a sensitive side.

Yun Qian’s conversation was devoid of literary flair, yet she had a unique understanding of love poems.

This image, contrasting somewhat with her aloof appearance, made Li Zhibai like her even more.

Yun Qian didn’t think too much.

She just knew that ever since Xu Chang’an spoke to her about Golden Wind and Jade Dew, she really disliked the phrase.

Meeting...

If it weren’t for separation, there would be no so-called meeting.

She didn’t want to be separated from her husband; if not restricted by the world, she would always want to cling to him, so she extremely disliked the word "meeting."

Yet, ironically, what she had been doing all along was akin to a Golden Wind and Jade Dew meeting.

...

Yun Qian’s knuckles turned white, but after eating a preserved fruit, she eased up a lot.

Love enduringly long, not in the day and night.

"I like the name Muyu Peak." Yun Qian suddenly said.

Li Zhibai: "?"

She said she liked Muyu Peak?

She wanted to stay at Muyu Peak.

She wanted her to stay at the Sword Hall.

Staying, she could often have tea parties with herself.

A lot of thoughts flashed through Li Zhibai’s mind in an instant, her eyes carrying a hint of excitement.

"Sister, do you want to come to Muyu Peak in advance? Would you like to be a teacher at the Sword Hall... then you’ll be considered one of us here, without having to go through any assessments?"

Be a teacher?

Me?

Even Yun Qian gave her a peculiar look, then gently brushed off Li Zhibai’s hand.

"Such things, sister, you should discuss with him."
