My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 900 - 499: Sometimes, Xu Chang’an Doesn’t Avoid Suspicion Either (Two-in-One)

Chapter 900: Chapter 499: Sometimes, Xu Chang’an Doesn’t Avoid Suspicion Either (Two-in-One)

Nonsense, of course, it’s different.

"Being able to barely keep this place clean is already my limit." Zhu Pingniang shrugged.

She’s indeed not cut out to be a Sect Leader.

So, even though she is the only ’disciple’ of the Sect Leader, she won’t be suitable to become the Sect Leader of Chaoyun Sect in the future.

"Well... I’ve never been a Sect Leader, so I don’t really understand," Li Zhibai shook his head, "Tong Jun."

"Hmm?"

Li Zhibai asked, "You run the Flower Moon Building, are you trying to figure out if you truly have talent?"

Zhu Pingniang was silent for a while, then smiled wryly.

"Ah Bai, you really hit the nail on the head... It’s just that I’ve never regretted giving up the position of Sect Leader."

"Just feel like I’ve let Sect Leader Gu down," Li Zhibai said thoughtfully.

"Are you a parasite in my stomach?" Zhu Pingniang stared at him.

"Can you pick a better comparison?" Li Zhibai shook his head, "And the result?"

"The result is that it’s confirmed, Ms. Gu does have moments of misjudgment... Zhu Tongjun is not suited to be the leader of the Hehuan Sect; her greatest talent is managing this tiny brothel well," Zhu Pingniang rubbed her brow, "Ah Bai, you have no idea how troublesome it is to manage the food, clothing, and housing of these girls... Really, only after trying did I realize how hard it is to cover everything."

Every night she calculates accounts, arranges the girls’ travels, even plans their appearances.

It’s exhausting.

"So, Tong Jun turned into Pingniang?" Li Zhibai asked.

"That’s right, these girls were very introverted in the beginning, and if I kept my thoughts hidden as I used to, they wouldn’t understand," Zhu Pingniang sighed, "So I have to be more straightforward, and that’s how I became the way I am now."

She’s explaining the reasons for her changes.

Li Zhibai didn’t fully believe it, he was silent for a while, then said, "I want to stay with you also partly because of this."

"Want to know... how the Flower Moon Building turned me like this?" Zhu Pingniang asked.

"Exactly."

Zhu Pingniang sighed upon hearing this.

Exactly.

Ah Bai’s reason for wanting to stay also had something to do with her; she wanted to closely observe how the Flower Moon Building, such a dyeing vat, turned Tong Jun into Pingniang.

"Accounting with me is quite dull," Zhu Pingniang reminded.

"Really?" Li Zhibai asked.

Zhu Pingniang laughed, "However, it should be much more interesting than staying in the mountains, nestled in the Alchemy Room counting your Pill Heart Fire."

"Disdain my elixirs, but don’t come asking me for them then," Li Zhibai said helplessly, but still laughed.

"That can’t be," Zhu Pingniang waved her hand, quietly looking at the woman in front of her dressed in a long skirt, with a jacket draped over her shoulders, slightly lost.

Moonlight poured in from the window, blending with the rainwater to cast colorful rays, coating Li Zhibai as if draping her in a layer of flowing light.

In an instant, various atmospheres mingled together, casting a blush over Zhu Pingniang’s fair face.

Wait.

Something’s not quite right.

She suddenly realized.

"Ah Bai, you’ve got me wrong," she stomped angrily, "What about Chang’an? I was talking about Chang’an just now, and you haven’t responded yet."

It was only then that Zhu Pingniang realized she brought up the topic of Xu Chang’an only to have Li Zhibai change it.

Li Zhibai seemed capable of avoiding this topic.

And it’s not the first time; upon careful thought, when she first mentioned Xu Chang’an, Li Zhibai acted as though she hadn’t heard it.

Indeed, even Ah Bai isn’t sure how to explain to her student, following her stay at Flower Moon Building, choosing to sidestep the topic altogether.

Got it. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Zhu Pingniang hummed from her throat, "You evidently haven’t thought about how to speak to Chang’an."

"..." Li Zhibai.

Looking at the triumphant girl in front of her, she suddenly felt like retracting her previous statement — ’Tong Jun hasn’t really changed.’

She felt, even without the appearance of Sect Leader, she needed to stay at Flower Moon Building and observe how Tong Jun got so influenced.

"I deliberately avoid the topic of Chang’an?" Li Zhibai asked.

"Isn’t that right?" Zhu Pingniang looked at her.

Li Zhibai shook her head, "Just find it unnecessary to respond to meaningless talk."

"Meaningless..." Zhu Pingniang blinked, "Chang’an... is he unimportant to you now?"

She contemplated for a while and suddenly clapped her hands.

"Is it because of Yun Qian?"

Zhu Pingniang seemed to have realized the truth and said, "Since you prefer Yun Qian more, students... are irrelevant now?"

She could understand.

Ah Bai’s heart is so small, most parts were given to her, Zhu Pingniang, then what’s left can only accommodate one person, right?

With Yun Qian, Chang’an wouldn’t have a place.

But now she has to rethink this aspect of Ah Bai being fickle.

"..." Li Zhibai was silent for a while, ignoring the somewhat reckless woman in front of her, only saying, "Chang’an, is he someone who cares about such things?"

Would Xu Chang’an mind her staying at the brothel for a while?

Would it affect the image of her as a teacher in his heart?

Would Xu Chang’an, knowing she’s in the brothel, avoid seeking her advice?

Li Zhibai, knowing her student’s disposition, hence didn’t respond to Zhu Pingniang’s introduction of Xu Chang’an topic, respecting him as a teacher.

Zhu Pingniang didn’t speak upon hearing this.

"Or do you think Chang’an would care about such things?" Li Zhibai asked.

This left Zhu Pingniang unsettled, shaking her head vigorously.

"Don’t speak nonsense, when have I doubted him?" Zhu Pingniang said, "I certainly know Chang’an doesn’t mind such matters, or rather, no one knows better than me, he wouldn’t avoid such things."

Xu Chang’an would keep a respectful distance from women, but they first have to be ’women.’

She and Li Zhibai hold high regard in Xu Chang’an’s heart, firstly respected individuals... So even if Li Zhibai came to the brothel to ’experience life,’ it wouldn’t affect Xu Chang’an visiting her.

Didn’t you see...

Xu Chang’an didn’t hesitate at times to leave Yun Qian at home to visit the brothel to see her, this elder?

Why, seeing her, Zhu Pingniang, is he not afraid of gossip?

Evidently, Xu Chang’an doesn’t mind.

The same applies to Li Zhibai.

"?"

Li Zhibai paused slightly, frowning, "No one knows better than you that Chang’an won’t mind... What did you do to him?"

"Oh," Zhu Pingniang responded, and then remained silent.

She recalled her and Xu Chang’an alone in the Flower Moon Building garden pavilion scene.

Everything they did.

In everyone’s presence, she toured with Xu Chang’an, then during the rest in the chess pavilion, drew the curtain creating a strange ’two-person world,’ drinking Jade Dew Wine with Chang’an, even taking out the hairpin and throwing it out... Even temporarily pressing on that lad’s shoulder, putting half his body out.

A woman with disheveled hair alone with a young lad, and upon release, even had her small white flowers repositioned, and... showed signs of perspiration.

Though Zhu Pingniang knew the dampness at her temples was influenced by her water attribute spirit sword, outsiders didn’t

These anomalies couldn’t escape the observant Flower Moon Building girls.

To know, for those Flower Moon Building girls, no matter what, they could create odd stories out of the blue, all these deeds... lead to misunderstandings.

But Xu Chang’an, he didn’t care at all, as if when he deals with ordinary girls, the distance monitor suddenly becomes ineffective. Essentially, Xu Chang’an respects her.

But by comparing with Xu Chang’an, Zhu Pingniang realized she, as an elder, is truly unreliable.

She can’t let Ah Bai know about the absurdities she has done.

"Oh?" Li Zhibai watched Zhu Pingniang’s dodgy gaze, feeling uneasy suddenly.
