My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 966 - 533: The Disciple’s Pressure (Double-Length) (Part 2)

Chapter 966: Chapter 533: The Disciple’s Pressure (Double-Length) (Part 2)

"Hmm." Li Zhibai nodded, then asked, "Tong Jun, is Li Su busy recently?"

"...?"

Zhu Pingniang was taken aback by the words.

Li Su, that kid?

Kid?

"Sikong Jing? Why are you asking about him... Do you know about him causing trouble for Chang’an?" Zhu Pingniang was utterly surprised.

Li Zhibai was also momentarily stunned on hearing this, then furrowed her brows.

"Causing trouble for Chang’an? Explain."

"...Oh, I misunderstood."

Zhu Pingniang then realized that the ’kid Li Su’ referred to by Li Zhibai was actually Sikong Lixu himself, not his son.

It’s all Ah Bai’s fault; didn’t she see what status Sikong Lixu holds nowadays, still calling him a kid.

Zhu Pingniang thought Sikong Lixu was high and mighty, not even sparing her a glance when they met... Who would call that dreadful man a child?

"It’s not exactly causing trouble for Chang’an, just that Sikong Jing wants to ask Chang’an to say a few good words to Wen Li, so it seems like there’s some entanglement." Zhu Pingniang casually explained and then curiously asked, "Ah Bai, why are you asking about him?"

Upon hearing that Xu Chang’an wasn’t in trouble, Li Zhibai finally calmed down.

She wanted to find Sikong Lixu, have him spend time with Xu Chang’an as a senior brother... so naturally needs to find a time when he is available.

"Busy or not?" Li Zhibai asked.

"You’re asking me... I wouldn’t know." Zhu Pingniang said helplessly, "Although the Profound Sword Bureau and the Hehuan Sect are currently at a stalemate, it has nothing to do with me."

At this, Zhu Pingniang laughed gleefully, "I estimate that the Profound Sword Bureau is suffering a loss, previously he sent Sikong Jing here to pay respects... Unfortunately, don’t they know I’m not influential in the Hehuan Sect anymore, even if they send his son personally, I can’t help them."

If she could help, Zhu Pingniang might have really done so, as she enjoys giving her sister trouble.

Li Zhibai: "..."

She looked at the self-satisfied, gleeful woman in front of her... silent for a moment.

Indeed.

It’s perfectly normal for Tong Jun to interpret things this way if she doesn’t know the other party is interested in her.

Seeing Li Zhibai silent, Zhu Pingniang gave her a strange look, then suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "Ah Bai, if it’s about Chang’an’s sword, there’s no need to seek Sikong Lixu, the swords from Profound Sword Bureau are good, but... how can we let Chang’an use an outsider’s sword?"

Zhu Pingniang thought Li Zhibai recalled finding a weapon for Xu Chang’an, immediately patted her chest energetically, "Chang’an’s sword is taken care of by me, I’ve already selected one for him and will add a few arrays before giving it to him."

"Sword... I’m not seeking Li Su because of the sword." Li Zhibai shook her head.

"Then what is it?" Zhu Pingniang was more confused, but she first said, "He shouldn’t be very busy, he’s gradually delegating the Profound Sword matters to others, welcoming guests doesn’t require his presence anymore, so these days... he’s probably just drinking tea without any serious business."

"I see." Li Zhibai nodded, thinking this is good.

"So." Zhu Pingniang squinted her eyes, "What are you looking for him for?"

"I want to take Chang’an as my disciple." Li Zhibai didn’t hide it, calmly said, "Let Li Su set an example for others, so that Chang’an can accept it better."

Li Zhibai knows her influence is too great, therefore... she plans to gradually appear in the cultivation realm, take Xu Chang’an to meet those ’senior brothers and sisters,’ at least remind those people.

So that when someone ignorant jumps out, if they scare her disciple, Li Zhibai thinks she would be furious.

"...???"

Zhu Pingniang froze. Wait. Wait, wait.

What did she just hear?

Ah Bai... said she wants to take Chang’an as a disciple?

"I didn’t hear wrong, did I." Zhu Pingniang widened her eyes.

"You didn’t hear wrong."

"..."

Zhu Pingniang was silent for a long time, one hand covering her fair forehead.

She could see that Li Zhibai was serious.

Joking?

If she wants to take a disciple, how big of a ripple would it cause?

Li Zhibai hasn’t taken any disciple before; Zhu Pingniang completely understands this, given Li Zhibai’s generation and status are too high, if she really had a direct disciple, it would be awkward.

Just the simplest matter is that today’s notable Major Sects, from the Fire Spirit Sect to the Hehuan Sect to the Profound Sword Bureau, all Sect Leaders are her juniors’ juniors, so how would these people address her student?

Should a figure like Sikong Lixu call Li Zhibai’s disciple ’Master Uncle’?

Having age or strength is one thing.

The worry is if someone as fresh as Xu Chang’an becomes Li Zhibai’s disciple... resulting in great awkwardness.

Not to mention, Li Zhibai’s juniors aren’t limited to the Righteous Path.

In the Demon Sect, she also has many juniors, even if they fall under the Demon Sect Empress’s camp, there’s virtually no one hostile towards Li Zhibai... many in the Demon Sect, before betraying Chaoyun, were her juniors... to this day still respect and look up to her as the Hidden Immortal.

Zhu Pingniang has personally experienced Li Zhibai’s popularity.

The simplest example is that back then, when her Glazed Dharma Body hadn’t fully developed yet, she could forcefully storm the Demon Sect Holy Mountain, forcibly retrieve the Dao Scripture and present it to Li Zhibai to please her...

Ahem.

Not to mention Li Zhibai not only wasn’t pleased at the time but also confined her.

In any case, she didn’t leave her life on the Holy Mountain, how many people spared her considering Li Zhibai’s face... cannot be said definitively.

Zhu Tongjun was extremely sharp then, unmatched, but even severely injured she returned to Chaoyun unscathed... whether someone from the Demon Sect held back, she knew well.

Li Zhibai also knows, hence she owes those juniors a favor.

"..." Zhu Pingniang’s eye twitched lightly.

To put it simply.

This woman Li Zhibai, whether in Righteous Path or Demon Sect, is widely accepted.

"Ah Bai, are you serious?"

"Yes, serious."

Zhu Pingniang became silent again, her tone paused, carefully said: "Ah Bai, if you don’t want Chang’an to call others Master... then... how about letting me take him as a disciple."

Better to keep the rewards within the family, if it’s her... Ah Bai shouldn’t be jealous then.

Thinking this, Zhu Pingniang looked up to find Li Zhibai gazing calmly at her, though her gaze lacked emotion, Zhu Pingniang felt a chill from being watched.

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

She didn’t say it.

It means even she couldn’t, no wonder Li Zhibai wanted to take a disciple.

Zhu Pingniang isn’t surprised that Li Zhibai might get jealous, she knows Li Zhibai extremely well.

"But Ah Bai, if you make him your disciple, haven’t you thought about...what position Chang’an will be pushed into?" Zhu Pingniang sighed.

Not everyone is as magnanimous as Wen Li, thinking that Wen Li can’t even call Li Zhibai ’Sir,’ yet Xu Chang’an can...

Switch to another woman, jealousy would arise and hold grudges against Xu Chang’an.

How many people desire to be Li Zhibai’s disciple?

It’s a driving force, an unattainable dream for many.

In this situation, if she takes a disciple...?

It would cause a huge stir, even Li Zhibai herself doesn’t know how massive, but Xu Chang’an will undoubtedly become famous, because he accomplished what many couldn’t, and suddenly stands over everyone merely by seniority, he is to be revered.

"Those folks from the Demon Sect don’t care for logic." Zhu Pingniang reminded Li Zhibai: "Ah Bai, the respect those people have for you won’t change... but look at me, I still don’t know what Chang’an will face in the future."

Her close relations with Li Zhibai are well known, but hasn’t she been troubled by many?

She’s just the ’adoptive sister,’ if it’s a disciple...

Then there will be no peace in the future.
