My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 938 - 519: Miss Li’s Keen Insight (Double - )_2

Chapter 938: Chapter 519: Miss Li’s Keen Insight (Double Chapter)_2

Although he is dedicated, being attracted to Yun Qian at such a young age means he’s not exactly a pure person.

"Oh... it’s hard to say." Zhu Pingniang blinked, "It’s said that he was Miss Yun’s child foster husband."

She pondered for a moment and found that Li Zhibai hadn’t replied, she looked at her strangely, "Ah Bai, do you have nothing to say?"

"Nothing much." Li Zhibai shook her head and said calmly, "I just realized, this is how you think."

"...?" Zhu Pingniang couldn’t understand.

"That’s why I asked you to think about yourself..." Li Zhibai’s tone paused, speaking deliberately, "and about me."

Which one of the two of them can’t do without the other?

Li Zhibai didn’t speak, yet she always saw issues so thoroughly.

But after Zhu Pingniang understood what Li Zhibai meant, her body slightly trembled, as if she were in a daze.

The girl named Zhu Tongjun and the older woman named Li Zhibai, which of them cannot do without the other?

This question might seem really simple at first glance—of course, it’s Zhu Tongjun who can’t do without Li Zhibai. She likes her so much, is so good at acting coy, and even to avoid making her angry, she’s willing to temporarily disregard her own ’dignity’. Doesn’t this prove that it’s she who can’t do without Li Zhibai?

But only those close or personally involved would know.

A Li Zhibai who for the sake of tranquility discarded the role of Sect Leader of the Profound Sword Bureau like an old shoe, willing to follow Zhu Tongjun to Chaoyun Sect—what does that signify?

Shi Qingjun hasn’t been the sect leader for just a day or two, so why only when Zhu Tongjun invited her did she come?

Many things aren’t as simple as they appear on the surface. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Ah... Ah Bai."

Upon realizing that Li Zhibai meant that she couldn’t do without Zhu Tongjun, Zhu Pingniang’s face was already completely red, even more so than when conjecturing about Yun Qian’s and Xu Chang’an’s positions... like heaven and earth apart.

One could tell, she was truly embarrassed to the point of panic, her voice trembling and nervous.

"Ah Bai, back then it was clearly because Ms. Gu asked you to take care of me... wasn’t it?" Zhu Pingniang took a deep breath.

"Your Ms. Gu?"

Li Zhibai picked up the wine glass and took a sip, after thinking for a moment, she said, "Actually, I don’t really know her."

What did that Miss Gu from the Hehuan Sect look like?

Li Zhibai had long since forgotten.

To her, Tong Jun with her liveliness hidden beneath her quietness and innocence, was as refreshing as morning dew.

Zhu Pingniang didn’t speak.

She lowered her head, hiding her expression.

If it were anyone else showing such an attitude of ’Who is Miss Gu?’ in front of her, she would definitely be genuinely angry.

But if it were Li Zhibai, she... had no way.

Because even her already deceased Ms. Gu was also Li Zhibai’s junior.

Zhu Pingniang twisted her fingers together, trying to suppress her smile, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t, and after barely managing to restrain her smile and look up, that unconcealable emotion turned into a blush on the tips of her ears.

"So, it wasn’t because of Ms. Gu that you cared about me." Zhu Pingniang appeared calm.

Then, she truly calmed down slowly.

In fact, Zhu Pingniang or Zhu Tongjun had realized this long ago, perhaps... even before being brought back half-dead from the Demon Sect Holy Mountain and kept at home by Li Zhibai.

When she left Li Zhibai, she became ’Ms. Zhu’ to the girls, had a daughter, and owned the Flower Moon Building, creating many ties.

And what about Li Zhibai?

She had always been that same Ah Bai.

Her only fate as a student was achieved by Zhu Pingniang’s hands when she sent her up the mountain.

In truth, it had always been Li Zhibai who couldn’t do without her.

Zhu Pingniang rubbed her temples.

Yes.

It’s precisely because she knows this that she felt brazen when Li Zhibai heard her ranting to Wen Li.

It’s because of knowing this that she seemed to always flip back and forth over Li Zhibai’s death line.

Zhu Pingniang put down her wine glass, breathed out a clear breath, and revealed a hint of guilt.

"Ah Bai, you saying that makes me feel even more like a complete bad woman."

She’s not that kind of person.

It’s just...

She doesn’t know what to do to appear overbearing.

"Is that so?" Li Zhibai shook her head.

To her, caring about Tong Jun wasn’t a secret, there was nothing wrong with talking about it.

Besides, whether her excellent sister was a bad woman, even if it were true, it was only because her elder sister didn’t discipline her well.

"Ah Bai, I..."

"Tong Jun."

Zhu Pingniang, blushing and appearing eager to seize the moment and speak, was interrupted by Li Zhibai.

"We were talking about Chang’an and Ms. Yun," Li Zhibai reminded her.

"Oh..."

Zhu Pingniang responded somewhat disappointedly.

What a good opportunity... But unfortunately, Ah Bai didn’t give her a chance.

Nevertheless, being able to drink with Li Zhibai and hear Ah Bai say she cares about her... Zhu Pingniang was very happy, very happy.

As the topic returned to Xu Chang’an, Zhu Pingniang realized.

"So, Ah Bai, you mean to say, on the surface, it looks like Chang’an is the one on top, but in reality..."

Just like her and Li Zhibai.

Actually, is it Xu Chang’an who can’t do without Yun Qian?

"Exactly." Li Zhibai nodded.

Often, her thoughts were not wrong.

For instance, taking Xu Chang’an as her student.

For instance, she once realized very early that Xu Chang’an might be connected to that Heaven-Reaching Thunder Tribulation.

For instance, she was the only one who knew that the senior sister Xu Chang’an mentioned, who fell in the mud, was the Sect Leader.

This is Li Zhibai’s keen insight.

She understood Xu Chang’an too well.

Perhaps it seemed like the young couple couldn’t do without each other, and Xu Chang’an appeared to be a very rational person. But if any trouble arose with Yun Qian, how much rationality Xu Chang’an could retain, in this regard, Li Zhibai had her doubts.

——

At the banquet.

Yun Qian’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.

She suddenly felt that Miss Li was indeed worthy of being the plum tree in the garden and was once considered a suitable main wife.

A truly remarkable person.

Yun Qian watched Xu Chang’an, who was listening to the opera, without saying anything.

Indeed, if her husband couldn’t do without her... calling her might indeed be the truth.

Or, when she’s not around, would Li Zhibai become the person he relies on?

Yun Qian didn’t know.

But there was one thing she felt was incorrect, and that is... clearly, Miss Yun was the one who was underneath, as she only had a quarter of an hour.

Moreover, she couldn’t do without Xu Chang’an either; who said things in this world are purely black or white?

Yes.

Yun Qian still liked Li Zhibai very much, or perhaps... Li Zhibai’s attention and understanding of Xu Chang’an made Yun Qian like her even more.

——

But Zhu Pingniang clearly didn’t have such sharp eyes as Li Zhibai.

"Really? I don’t believe it." Zhu Pingniang shook her head.

No matter how well Ah Bai spoke, Zhu Tongjun wasn’t a mere echo; she had her own views.

"Enough." Li Zhibai relinquished persuading Zhu Pingniang.

She felt, or even believed, in the emotions present in that Beauty Fruit of Xu Chang’an, but just persuading Zhu Pingniang was useless.

After all, her student was viewed as extremely excellent by everyone, including the Sect Leader, and no one could see his flaws... even if there were any, they’d just find his temperament to be too gentle and soft.

Who would, like her, believe that Xu Chang’an isn’t as rational as he seems?

Li Zhibai thought that since she was Chang’an’s teacher, she might subconsciously think he was immature, inferior to herself, and incapable of doing anything?

But unintentionally, her student had grown to a level where no one could underestimate him.

"I still feel there’s something else in that fruit, even if it involves Yun Qian, but he’s so diligent in cultivation that I see it with my eyes." Zhu Pingniang shook her head.

This fruit, she had set her mind on taking it.
