My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 969 - 535: The Blocked Path (Double Length)

Chapter 969: Chapter 535: The Blocked Path (Double Length)

Seeing the slight annoyance on Zhu Pingniang’s face from being ignored, Li Zhibai gently rubbed her temples with her fingers, feeling there was much to say, yet unable to voice it.

As an elder sister, perhaps there’s no moment more helpless than this.

Thinking it over, any normal girl, upon understanding Lie Su’Er Ya’s character, would know he’s not the type to look down on others. Yet in Tong Jun’s eyes, it provoked her irritation instead.

At this moment, Li Zhibai was even more certain that Tong Jun’s sister must have figured something out.

After all, when it comes to understanding Sikong Lixu, the Sect Leader of the Hehuan Sect, this old rival, wouldn’t claim second place... probably no one could claim first. In this scenario, how could that man’s subtle intentions towards Tong Jun escape her sister’s notice?

"Only you, this foolish girl... know nothing."

"Eh?"

Under Zhu Pingniang’s somewhat bewildered gaze, Li Zhibai tapped Zhu Pingniang’s forehead lightly with her fingertips twice.

"Ah Bai, what... are you doing?" Zhu Pingniang held her fair forehead, complaining, "Don’t wipe off the new powder I just put on."

"..." Li Zhibai sighed, looking at this woman before her who, newly transformed with charming makeup, asked her, "Didn’t you say that you’d never be willing to wipe off the makeup I put on for you for a lifetime?"

Zhu Pingniang felt a twinge of guilt.

Just now, when she was extracting the aura from the Enlightenment Tea, she broke into a sweat, so... she took the opportunity to freshen up, naturally washing off the makeup.

"How should I say this, Ah Bai, the Dianzhuang eyebrows you did for me, although they have an ancient elegance when matched with the makeup... no matter how I raise them, they look silly... maybe they’re more suitable for your Ms. Yun." Zhu Pingniang blinked, "I’m still more suited to Qiuniang’s Eyebrow now, it’s very ladylike."

"Who are you calling silly? If Chang’an were to hear this... where would that leave you as his elder sister?" Li Zhibai sighed helplessly, then said, "What I taught Yun Qian is indeed nothing but silly things."

Zhu Pingniang realized her slip of the tongue, and gently took her hand, "Alright, aren’t you staying here at Flower Moon Building for some time? There are plenty of opportunities to learn about today’s makeup techniques from the girls."

As she spoke, Zhu Pingniang suddenly paused.

Wait a minute.

Could it be that Li Zhibai is staying at Flower Moon Building... to learn makeup, to better teach Yun Qian?

Her gaze suspiciously swept over Li Zhibai’s face, then she shook her head.

Forget it, let her do as she pleases.

"Ah Bai, you just said... only I’m the silly girl who doesn’t understand... what do you mean by that?" Zhu Pingniang asked.

Li Zhibai looked at her.

There are many things she doesn’t understand.

For instance, the Sect Leader is here in Flower Moon Building.

For instance, Sikong Lixu’s feelings for her.

Never mind, these are old grievances of the past generations, bringing them up now truly bears no significance; Li Zhibai told herself there’s no need to worry.

She realized it too.

Bringing up the man.

Zhu Pingniang would only like Chang’an. If Zhu Pingniang thought her slight fondness for Chang’an went unnoticed by others... then she’d underestimate Li Zhibai’s insightful observation. It’s simply because knowing Tong Jun’s disposition, and now that Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian have a great relationship, she knows a little affection doesn’t really count for much.

"Some things are better left unknown," Li Zhibai said.

"You always say that." Zhu Pingniang wore an ’I already knew’ expression, pouting, "So many things, if you don’t tell me... how would I know?"

She blinked.

"Just now we were talking about Sikong Lixu, Ah Bai, are you saying... there’s a secret about him I don’t know?" Zhu Pingniang’s eyes lit up, "When we were studying together with him at your place, was there something embarrassing about him that I missed? Tell me all about it."

Zhu Pingniang was exceedingly excited.

This kind of bad woman living in the shadows loved gossiping about others behind their backs, especially when someone like Sikong Lixu, a gentleman in public, made a fool of himself, which brought her great joy.

"You still remember he studied with you." Li Zhibai rubbed her temples with her fingers, retorting, "What embarrassing things could Lixu have? It’s more likely you have more."

"Do I?" Zhu Pingniang pondered.

When she was Zhu Tongjun, wasn’t she quite well-behaved?

"Have you forgotten, that you used to... scold Lixu?" Li Zhibai reminded her.

Now, if these two truly clashed, facing the unmotivated Tong Jun, perhaps it would be the relentless Lixu who would gain the upper hand, but back then...

Sikong Lixu was nothing but ground into the dust by Zhu Tongjun.

Really—pushed to the ground and beaten.

Several times when she demanded a spar, facing Zhu Tongjun, Sikong Lixu, being the Young Sect Leader of the Profound Sword Bureau, couldn’t even draw his sword before his face got swollen, and the key part was Zhu Tongjun couldn’t grasp the concept of holding back, that blade strike... if he could still stand, it counted as Lixu having a thick skin.

Li Zhibai let her take action, and those moves were fast, faster than anyone today including Wen Li.

"I taught him a lesson..." Zhu Pingniang reflected, suddenly frozen, and then her pretty face turned crimson at an unimaginable speed.

She gently coughed, and bashfully said, "What happened back then... let’s not bring it up, I’m a perfectly suitable virtuous lady now."

The Zhu Tongjun who beat people up, that indeed was black history.

"... As long as you’re happy." Li Zhibai was at a loss for words.

"But Ah Bai, you reminded me." Zhu Pingniang’s brows furrowed: "Sikong Lixu holds grudges, could it be because I used to teach him a lesson? I’ve forgotten about it, and he still remembers... what kind of a man is that?"
